COURT ROOM FILLED

Story of Shooting of Starr At Webster Is Related.

The trial of Richard Brown, station agent of the C. & O. railroad at Webster, who shot Howard Starr, a section foreman, following a quarrel at that place September 17, was begun this morning with Special Judge Lindemuth on the bench. The entire morning session was talten up with the selection of a jury to try the case. It is understood before the case was palled that the attorneys Tor the defense would make a strong flsht for a lenient sentence, hoping that should conviction be returned it would be based upon the single charge of aggravated assault, which would permit thi defendant to escape with a fine or perhaps a jail sentence. The penalty for assault and battery with intent to kill, which Is set forth in the indictment, carries with it a penitentiary sentence of from two to fourteen years. Spectators Fill Room. The courtroom was well filled with spectators from Webster and Williamsburg, as both men are well known in that part of the county. The primary cause of the trouble. It was stated at the time, was difficulty which Starr had with the father of I?Town. Starr at one time lived in a house owned by James Brown, the father. James Brown is a well-known stork buyer residing at Williamsburg. According to the story told at the time of the shooting, Starr, during an argument called Brown a liar, and followed him out of the building where they were talking. Brown returned the epithet and dared Starr to come back. When Starr started to retrace his steps Brown shot him in the left shoulder. Immediately after the shooting Brown disappeared and could not be located. After a few days, when it developed that Starr's injuries were not serious, he appeared and gave bond.

But mental activity is dependent for its success-making results upon the way both body and brain cells are fed. Right feeding isn't a matter of quantity most persons actually eat too much. But the selection of the right kind of food helps wonderfully to make men and women active and successful. The fact is, some every-day articles of food are so lacking in certain food values as to make their common use more or less a menace to physical and mental well-being. (Constipation and a run-down physical condition are readily traced to this lack.) Particularly is this true of food made from white flour, which is robbed of most of the mineral phosphates of the grain when the bran-coat is thrown out in the milling process. Scientists have long recognized this menace to health, and many people are waking up to it.

FOOD

made from the whole wheat and malted barley, retains the mineral phosphates, as well as all other nutritive values of the grains. Grape-Nuts, as the cereal part of one's diet, perfectly supplies what white flour foods lack. Grape-Nuts is long baked, most easily digested and is ready-to-eat direct from the package fresh, crisp and delicious.
