Carbohydrates in Diet Spur Slcrw
Movlng Persons to Zealous Pur
suits of Vim and Vigor.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. Nor. 1. (Spe
cial.) If one would be good looking
and at the same time well nourished,
he has but to follow the rules laid down
by Dr. Alpneus G. Woodman, assistant
professor of food analysis at tho Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, and
eat sugar.
"It Is the food of civilization," says
Dr. Woodman, thus upholding the
opinion vouchsafed recently.by Dr. Har
vey W. Wiley, chief of the Govern
ment's Chemistry Bureau. "Persons
who have enough sugar In their food."
he continued, "are better nourished and
better looking as well as more ener
getic than those who neglect carbo
hydrates In their dietary.
"Carbo-hydrates as contained In sugars
are very quickly assimilated and thus
as much energy Is not expended In the
process of digestion as In other foods.
For example. In the selection of a stim
ulant to give an athlete Just before he
enters a race, there Is nothing better
than a few lumps of sugar.
"Sugar Is the best and cheapest form
of energy," Dr. Woodman concludes,
"so It may not be surprising that Its
use has Increased with the ascent of
peoples from savagery Into clvlllxation.
Probably a lack of knowledge as to how
augar may be procured has handi
capped the savage In adding more of
this food to his diet."

Shot at from the side of the road by
an unidentified person. Dr. Frank E,
Smith, superintendent of the State
School of Feeble-Mlnded. had a nar
row escape last night as he started
from the institution In his automobile
for the city. Following, as It did, the
receipt of several threatening letters
by the superintendent from an anony
mous source, and the recent escape of
a dangerous Inmate, It Is believed that
an escaped honor man waa the one who
did the shooting.
Dr. Smith started for the city shortly
after dark In his machine, and when
but a little distance from the Institu
tion a revolver shot rang out. the bul
let passing through a gauntlet worn
by the superintendent and grazing nis
wrist.
Doctor Returns Fire.
Since receiving the threatening let
ters. Dr. Smith has been In the habit
of carrying a revolver, and last night
had his weapon on the seat beside him.
He fired three shots In the direction
of the flash.
Hurrying to town he secured as
sistance. and the apot where the shoot-
Ins- occurred was gone over. A .32-
callber revolver was found lying on
the ground where It had evidently been
shot out of the hand of -Dr. Smith's
assailant. The handle was shattered,
but there were no marks of blood upon
It. The night was so dark that further
search for the fugitive was abandoned.
Life Threatened In Note.
About three weeks ago Superinten
dent Smith received the first threaten
lna letter, and many have followed. A
few days ago Sam Broger, considered
one of the most desperate of the con
victs among the honor men at the
School of Feeble-Mlnded, escaped.
Shortly after that Dr. Smith re
ceived another unsigned letter, direct
Ing him to deposit $50 by a signpost
at a railroad crossing near the school.

cian's commands, Mr. Taft accordingly
telegraphed his regrets to the Rich

tim of a severe cold. He was confined

lieves he will be able to take up his
duties In the executive office tomorrow.
At the White House late today it
was said that there had been no change
In the President's condition during the

sidered seriously ill, but his physician

lege career in January, covering the ,

years. Tha young Prince will then re-1
turn to Baroda and assist his royat,
father In directing the policies of that!

"I have found the expense attending?
upon bbtainlng a college education In
this country rather heavy, especially;
for one in my position," said Gaekwar.
"Many times I find my large income)
inadequate to meet my obligations hero
and have often times been on the verge
of asking my father to Increase my
allowance. The high cost of living is
one of the faults of this country.
"I ' can't say that I admire your
women, and you can say ' emphatically
that I have no intention of taking an
American bride home with me. I have
found your girls too cold. They are
over-fond of show and awfully af
