The Golden Staff of Life
Bread is the staff of life and golden-brown electric
toast is its most delicious and healthful form.
There's no use trying to demonstrate or even to imagine
that ordinary toast is as good as ELECTRIC TOAST.
In making ordinary toast it is very difficult to avoid
burning the bread, and burnt bread is something very
different from the crisp and delicate toast made by the
clean electric heat of the
G-E

Philadelphia. Dec. 17. Waking to find
two strange tui'ii in lila room, Julius
ItelcKtein, who kees n Junk shop at
"III! liulnbrtdge street nnd lives In the
second story, sprang from his bed nnd
tin-1: led the Intruders. In the light
which followed his throat was slushed
with a razor. The men became, fright
ened iliul tied.
Weeding profusely. Kelcstein stag
gered down to the front door, scream
i'd for help and then fell unconscious.
McGurlty, a policeman of the Fourth
and Iioinni'oy streets station, heard his
eric and sent Kelcstein to the Penn
s hnnla hospital. Ills condition Is se
rious. The Intruders are believed to have
been colored men, though Iielcsteln did
not get a good look at them, as the
room was dark. They gained entrance
by forcing a rear window and had ran
sacked the shop before venturing to
the upper story. A Canndian twenty
live cent piece and 13 cents In pennies
was all the money in the till. This evi
dently made the intruders angry, for it
was common rumor in the neighbor
hood that Kelcstein was rich and kept
considerable money In the place.
According to the wounded man, the
burglars attacked him the moment he
got his feet on the lloor, and he never
had a chance In the struggle.
Kelcstein has n house at S09 South
Sixth street, where he spends part of
his time. lie sleeps two or tliree nights
a week at his store, however, and Is
usually there on Sunday nights so ns
to be ready to start bis men out early
on Monday morning for junk collect
ing. The police believe the burglars
intended to torture Kelcstein to make
him tell where his money was con-
vealed.
Gold, Kyan nnd Krelnts, special po
licemen of the Second and Christian
streets station, believe they have a fair
Idea as to the Identity of the intruders.
Arkansas Governor's Extraordinary Act
Protest Against Lease System.
Little Kock, Ark., Dec. 17.-A blow at
the convict lease system, employed In
Arkansas nnd other stntcs, will bo
struck bcro when Governor George W.
Donaghey will pardon and free 300
convicts from the stnte penitentiary.
This action Is the direct result of
sentiments expressed by Governor Do
naghey In n speech before the confer
ence of governors nt Richmond, Va.,
two weeks ago.
Three convict camps In Arkansas will
bo wiped out by the wholesale granting
of pardons. These camps nro the ones
where convicts nro leased to contract
ors and do not Include the enmps whero
convicts are employed In building state
roads.
The convicts Included In the list to
be pardoned are serving sentences for
minor felonies. Many of them, how
ever, were sentenced for fifteen years
and more. Governor Donaghey has
prepared n lengthy explanation of his
nctlon to be presented to the state leg
islature In January. lie says:
"I have constantly fought the con
vict lease system since I have been In
public olllce. In every public speech I
have denounced It As a member of
the penitentiary board I have opposed
It In every instance where It was at
Issue. Time after time I have pleaded
with the legislature to abolish It. but
in spite of all this no adequate relief
has been given."
