W. Tenney of Gooding col lege, shot herself through the head and her body was found by searchers at 1 o'clock this morning. Miss Tenney had suffered ill health for the last two years and had re cently expressed fear she would lose her eyesight. She left for a walk ear ly yesterday afternoon and search started when she did not return late last night. Some friends remem bered that she had spoken occasional ly of a pine tree on the Butte and un der this her body was found, the hand holding a small pistol. Miss Helen Tenney was born in Helena while her father was presi was dent of Montana Wesleyan college, Intermountain Union college. He now came here 29 years ago as a teacher at the college.

From the nutritional standpoint it may bo regarded as a palatable solution of the three vita mins and should be fed to such in fants at the rate of 30 grams per day." Naturally, when fed to babies the juice is simply strained. For adults, many like to chill the juice and sea son it with salt, lemon juice, tabas co and Worcestershire sauce.
