ASKING QUESTIONS. An Inquiry Changed a Man Life. Whole When you get a man to recognize that his bad feelings come from im proper food and that he can get w ell by using scientific food, the battle is half wen. One cf New York's business men bays: "I was troubled for a long time with indigestion, haadache and stomach trouble, and had taken various medi cines but with no good results. I con-c!i:-Jcd to see how a change of ' food would affect me. I never cared particu larly for cereals of any kind, but ate meat and pastry continually and drank coffee. "I found on inquiry that Grape-Nuts were highly spoken of and decided to give them a trial. To say I was sur mised at the result would not begin to do justice to my- feelings. My head aches left me; my brain became clearer and active: my attack! of indigestion sa w fewer and fewer until they ceased entirely, and where I once went horn ? tired, fagged out. and indisposed to any exertion whatever. I now found a dif fer, nt state of affairs. "My color was good, my muscles slicing and firm and fully equal to any thing I asked of (hem. instead of soft and Il ibby. ( live two miles from my busincss and walk it daily back and forth, if the: weather permits. 1 am j7 ye ns old and fee l as well and strong as when I as 30, and can ride 70 miles a day c.n a bicycle without feeling any bad results."

Y. March 7. In their eagerness to solve the mystery sur rounding the assassination of Edwin L. Rurdick, the police today made a false move. They immediately retrac ed their steps when it was found that the district attorney considered their case to be entirely flimsy. Miss Marian M. Hutchinson, a young woman formerly employed in Burdick's office, was taken to the police head quarters by detectives at an early hour. She was not under arrest, the police say. Her attorney says she was. After being detained five hours, she was released because the police could find absolutely nothing against her. The result of the day's work brings the authorities no nearer the solution of the mystery than a week ago. Miss Hutchinson, who is a very attractive woman in appearance, came here about a year ago in company with her moth er and sister Florence, from London, Ont. Soon after arriving in the city Miss Hutchinson secured a position on a monthly paper printed by Burdick at his factory. Last January she left his employ. Since then she has been sing ing in a church choir, but has not been employed at any kind of work. Philip Y. Fenneily, the attorney act ing for Soth T. Faine, obtained from Justice White, of the supreme court, a writ of habeas corpus, directing the police to bring Miss Hutchinson before the court. The police said that she was not under arrest, and she was al lowed to go. Later the following statement was given cut: "What seemed to be reli able information having reached the police department last evening that a certain young woman- living in the cily might have some valuable inf irmatum regarding th- murder of Hurdick, we requested this woman to come to police headquarters this morning and give any information she might have. She came and made a statement. She was at no time under arrest." CAUGHT JJs A SNOW Si.TTJE. Overtaken at Night and Asleep in a Utah Canyoj. Salt Lake, Ul-jh, March 7. A spec ial from Vernon.
