A Full Measure
of Health
is the reward of those who live right and eat right.
And as fresh air, exercise, and- good food are the
principal factors, it is important that food be selected
which contains the essential nutritive elements in
well-balanced, easily digestible form.
In making the famous wheat and barley food,
Grape-Nuts
the malting of the barley brings out the diastase (the
digestive element) while the long 20-hour baking
breaks down the starch cells of the grains. Thus
Grape-Nuts does not tax the digestion, but actually
assists in the assimilation of other foods. •
For those seeking the fullest possible measure of
health

"Murdered" Man Returns;
"Slayer" Serving 25 Years
fl>l' Associated Press
Milwaukee, Wis.. July 20. Frank
King, for whose "murder" Nick
Georgian is serving a 25 years' sent
ence, and whose "body" was identified
by his family, returned to-day to his
awe-stricken family.
Klug supposedly was murdered on
August 22 last. Georgian was sen
tenced December 5, 1914.
According to attorneys and officials,
the fact that it was not Klug who was
murdered will make no difference to
Georgian. That a man was murdered
was well established, they said, and
the circumstantial evidence positively
connected Georgian with the crime.
Georgian, however, has continually de
nied his guilt.
Klug left home because of domes
tic troubles. Fearing arrest for de
sertion, he said, he made no effort to
communicate with his family, and a
recent letter from a friend gave him
his first intimation that he had been
"murdered."
COCKPIT SHELTER
The problejn of providing a cockpit
shelter is simplified. by the presence of
a boom from which to rig it. The
simplest and probably the most satis
factory form—simply a tent slung
from the boom, which has been hoist
ed up the mast the proper distance by
the halyards. The important thing to
remember in using this arrangement
is to guy the boom securely to that it
cannot swing across the deck. It is
so high above the deck that the sheet
cannot be depended upon to hold it
still.—August Outing.

JAWS OF HORN TRAP
PRIED WIDE OPEN
[Continued From First Page.]
he didn't happen to have the money—
from ten to twenty-five days in jail,
to prove it.
The question of the legality of the
so-called "horn trap" at the west end
of Main street, Middletown, which was
erected by the constables, and which
has annoyed autolsts for years, was
settled by Mr. Myton with the legal
aid of President Judge Albert W. John
son, Snyder-Union district. He sat for
the Dauphin county court specially
when the ca,se was heard. Judge John
son to-day handed down an opinion
sustaining Mr. Myton.
Hie Problem of the "Horn Trap"
The question hinged upon the
fact of whether or not the constables
had the right, without legislative ac
tion of the borough or township au
thorities, to erect a so-called "horn
trap."
Backed by the Motor Club of Har
risburg and the Middletown Motor
Club, Secretary Myton again and again
calmly sped past the "blow your horn
sign"—and never tooted a toot. So he
was arrtSsted.
At quarter sessions court several
months ago Mr. Myton was convicted!
although Judge Johnson in charging
the jury left the question open to final
settlement when argument was heard
for judgment notwithstanding the ver
dict, in arrest of judgment and for a
new trial. Fox & Geyer represented
the Motor Club of Harrisburg and
John Fox Weiss was counsel for the
Middletown club.
The "Proper 'Authorities"
"To convict the defendant in this
case," declares the court, "It is neces
sary to show that the danger sign was
erected by the 'proper authorities' of
the borough of Middletown. The ques
tion here is. who are intended as the
'proper authorities' to erect the dan
ger sign, the borough council and
burgess or the constables?
"The act to be performed by the
'proper authorities' is an important
one. It is in the nature of a legis
lative act. The safety, as well as the
liberty, of all who travel the streets
and highways is involved."
Judge Johnson then defines the
duties of the borough fathers and the
burgess and—the .constables. "The
general duties of ail constables," says
Judge Johnson, "is both high and
petty, as well as of the other officers,
to keep the king's peace in their sev
eral districts."
And Mr. My toil is a Free Man
"The borough council and burgess
are the legislative body of a borough
and they are the 'proper authorities'
intended in the act of 1913. By 'heir
resolution or ordinance duly enacted
the erection of the danser sign in
question must be authorized and the
constables have* no authority to erect
such signs unless duly auhorized by
the burgess and town council."
In conclusion Judge Johnson sets
aside the verdict of the jury which
convicted Mr. Myton.
So Mr. Myton is a free man.
DWELLING-HOUSES
ARE BADLY DAMAGED

bricks and .mortar in all directions,
The workmen had just left.
Heavy Tool House Moved
A tool house tilled with more than
a ton of nails, cement apd hardware
used by Mr. Moeslein in erecting the
house at Riverside, was moved
more than two feet.
Along the Itlvcr road between this
city and Dauphin trees were uprooted
and in several cases carried several
feet by the heavy wind.
This city did not suffer much from
the storm although residents of the
West End particularly along Wood
bine street, reported that their cellars
were flooded with from six inches to
three feet of water. It is understood
that a petition will be made to the
city to provide better sewers in the
West End. Many other places were
flooded as the rainfall could not be
carried off fast enough.
At Tuscarora, about 43 miles west
of this city, a huge tree war blown
down, striking the rear of a cottage
occupied by a party from Altoona.
The tree demolished the kitchen and
smashed a stove. The cook had left
the room a minute before.
Crops Suffer Slightly
Less than one inch of rain fell, how
ever, in the city, according to meas
urements made at the weather bu
reau. The velocity of the wind as re
corded was about 20 pnilec an hour
in Harrisburg.
In many places near here hail fell In
large quanties, damaging vegetable
crops. It Is not believed that the
[fruit or grain was damaged seriously.

"BEUIAH" AT THE VICTORIA TO
DAY
To-day for the last time .we present
"Beulah," a most remarkable motion
picture play, in which is featured one
of the world's greatest screen stars,
Henry B. Walthall, supported by Miss
Joyce Moore and a cast of capable play
ers. This silent drama is a wonder
fully acted and elaborately staged
production of the heart-gripping classic
of Louisiana, telling a pathetic story of
"Beulah," the daughter of the olu
South, her sorrows, her heroic strug
gles and her ultimate triumph in the
love of a real man. "Beulah" is taken
from Augusta J. Evans' great American
novel of the same name. It is a story
of a young and wealthy physician who
previous to the opening of the story
had married a beautiful girl and gave
her the deep love of a real man. In
return she basely played him false and
shortly afterward died. All of which
embittered him against the world and
mankind. But lie finally is thrown into
comradeship of Beulah, his faith is re
stored and his life made brighter by her
confession of love for him. To-morrow
we present the seventh instalment of
that wonderful serial picture play, "The
Goddess," featuring Earl Williams and
Anita Stewart. Also a three-part,
Broadway Star Feature entitled 'The I
Criminal." —Advertisement.
AT PAXTANG PARK '
The The general verdict of those
who saw the vaudeville performance at
Paxtang. last evening, was "some
show" In fact the bill makes an
ovuninK'B entertainment that seems to
please everyone. The "Colonial Girls
are programmed as the feature act and
thev clearlv proved their title to the
position last evening. The girls present
about as classy a singing act as Harrls
-1 burg has seen in a long time.
I The Clermont Bros, call themselves
1 the world's greatest revolving ladder
artists and there was no one who saw
their performance last evening who felt
that the brothers were not entitled to
that distinction. They do an act that
calls for remarkable skill and daring.
Herbert and Dennis are two comedi
ans who get a lot of laughs out of a
bunch of nonsense that is made thor
oughlv acceptable through the clever
ness of the performers.
Presto gave a clever violin act and
made a lot of fun for his audience by
having the choruses of his selections
thrown on the picture screen with an
invitation to the audfence to sin*
them.
Dew.Dulmage, a man of generous
proportions, rode his unicycle with ex
ceptional skill and demonstrated that it
was possible for a fat man to be some
thing of an athlete.
