Kansas City, Mo.. July ii.—At Walla
Walla, Wash., Frank Hottman, aged
20, is under arrest and held pending
the arrival of Kansas City officials.
Hottman is charged with the murder
of Clarence Myers, a pressman, at 2313
Terrace street. May 11. Hottman dis-
appeared the day after the trageoy.
He is a particular friend of Mrs. Myers
and made frequent visits to her home
while Myers was absent. Mrs. Myers
was also arrested and is in cus-
tody here. Chief Hayes says the
nntiea hove been practically cer-
tain of Hottman s counecuoii with
nvoid any chance of running Into thi
horses. An effort had been mado bj
the crew at the entrance of tho tunnel
to drive tho horses from the track, bu:
they took fright and dashed on intc
the darkness.
In order not to drop too far behind
schedule time the conductor decided
to proceed cautiously. Though the sit-
uation was of a perilous character, th
humor of it was fully appreciated bj
the crew and the passengers.
At the St. Clair station the horset
were still galloping ahead, and It wa*
necessary to lasso them to give th«-
train a clear right of way. This waf
accomplished only after considerable
difficulty.

Even the most careful person is apt
to get ou the wrong track rcgariins
food sometimes and has to switch over.
When the right food is selected the
host of ails that come from improper
food and drink disappear, even where
the trouble has been of lifeloug stand-
ing.
"From a child I was never strong
and had a capricious appetite and I
was allowed to eat whatever I fancied
—rich cake, highly seasoned food, hot
biscuit, etc.—so it was not surprising
that my digestion was soon out of or-
der and at the age of twenty-three I
was on the verge of nervous prostra-
tion. I had no appetite and as I had
been losing strength (because I didn't
get nourishment in my daily food to
repair the wear and tear on body and
brain) I had no reserve force to fall
back on, lost flesh rapidly and no
medicine helped me.
"Then it was a wise physician or-
dered Grape-Nuts and cream and saw
to it that I gave this food (new to me)-
a proper trial and It showed he knew
what he was about because I got bet-
ter by bounds from the very first. That
was in the summer and by winter I
was In better health than ever before'
in my life, had gained in flesh and
weight and felt like a new person al-
together in mind as well as body, all
due to nourishing and completely di-
gestible food, Grape-Nuts.
"This happened three years ago and
never since then have I had any but
perfect health for I stick to my Grape-

It delicious. I eat It every day. I
