DEATH STALKS NUPTIALS’ EVE é Chicago, Dec. 11.—(AP)—A man and a woman who were to have been married today were found shot dead in a room at the Davis hotel, on the “gold coast,” late last night.

Relatives of the young woman said they had heard nothing of any in- Sarraption to plans for the couple’s marriage, arranged for today. Police‘said they learned Zimmer- man had posed as a scion of wealth, had alluded often to fabulous prop- erties and a ae income he was to fiice at Miss Wil ’ disposal.

STREPTOCOGCO PREFER WHITE MBAT T0 DARK Black Skinned Man Less Liable to Diseases Entering Body Through Skin Berkeley, Calif., Dec. 11—(AP)— The lowly dead prefers the white meat to the dark. This characteristic uf mankind's most sangvinary foe has been estab- lished by Professor Samuel J. Holmes of the Department of Zool- ogy of the University of California, and indicates, says the professor, that the black skinned man is less liable to diseases which enter the body through the skin, than is his white brother. Through study of mortality tables, Professor Holmes has found that against diseases which normally gain entrance to the body through the extoderm, or outer skin, black persons have more resistance than whites, In a report to the American Jour- nal of physical anthropology, Pro- fessor Holmes says: “There are several diseases against which the negro is more or less protected. These include such diverse ailments as skin cancer, boils, erysipelas, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and to a lesser degree, measles.” Concerning the reasons for this protective characteristic of dark skin, Professor Holmes states that it may be the result of the same power that leads to the production of pigment. Pigment, he adds, may not be a protective agent, except against light, but its production is not improbably an index of a power of vital resistance both to infection and to malignant growths.

Employe Says Results from Sargon Were Surprise of His Life “I had not eaten any breakfast for years, but since taking Sargon I eat three hearty meals every day and relish every bite,” said Louis Lar- sen, popular employee of the Cud- ahy Packing Co., who resides at 296 Bates Ave., St. Paul, Minn. “Sar- gon beats anything I ever heard of and I don’t wonder that so many people are praising it. “My health had been bad for years owing to the bad condition of my stomach,” continued Mr. Larsen. “I was actually afraid to eat a good meal and did not know what it was to enjoy a big dinner like other folks. Even the little I did allow myself did not taste right and caused me to suffer with indigestion for hours afterward. My wife used to keep tempting dishes on the table espe- cially for me but it was no use, for in my condition all food was the same and I didn’t dare eat more than a few mouthfuls. I would get up feel- all worn out, drink half a cup of coffee, and drag myself off to work, with hardly a spark of life in me. My liver was sluggish, my nerves shaky, and at night I did not seem able to get to sleep until I rolled and tossed until I was exhausted. I was on the down grade so fast I was not even thinking clearly. “Sargon gave me the surprise of my life in the way it took right hold of my case and put me back in tip- top shape. I now eat three hearty meals a day and breakfast tastes as good as the rest of them. I s! ‘ine, get up whistling, and no ter how hard the day’s work is I never get tired out, for I feel ac- tive and full of energy. There is not a trace of my old troubles left and I am one hundred per cent bet- ter in every way. Sargon is a real, not a temporary medicine, and worth many times its cost.
