Branca was saved from a mob of five hundred men, who were tearine off his clothes and pounding him with stones when the police of the Tremont avenuc station arrested him yesterday. The Uttle Bollerista girl. since Mrs. Lee adopted her on Christmas Day rescuing her from the home of the six Italians has been attending the Church of Ov Lady of Mercy, at One Hundred and Bighty-ninth street and Webster ave nue The child went alone to mass yester- @ay morning, and was on her way home when she encountered Branca, her for- mer foster father, at Pelham and Third avenues. He caught the child by the throat and was strangling her. John Tierney, who attends the same church end was a short distance behind the child, ran to her rescue. To the Rescue! Other men who had seen the attack on the little girl crowded around. The rumor spread that another abuser of chiktren had been captured. and the mob poured Into the street and strug- gied to get the man. It was going badly for Branca when Policeman Nolan got to him, A guard of five policemen escorted him to the ™ gtation-house, where he was locked up until to-day. ‘When the prisoner was arraigned to. day Mrs. Lee appeared with the littl girl. She is a very pretty obiid, quit: small for her age. She looks scarcel: older than nine or ten, and was ao al- fected in the court-room by the glower ing face of Branca that she went tnt: hysterics.

While whe lived with them she never had a garment of any sort to wear, In cold wenther she had only rags to throw bout her and in summer she went en- tirely naked.

She managed to @et into the Branca flat on Obvist- mas Day when all the inmates were out. Bolte was preotically naked and half frozen. Mrs. Sappio put some clothing on ber and brought her to me. “gince then I have adopted her.

How to Clean Out Your Attio, From a military post out West comes the story of a lady who frank- ly admits that she was once a coffee drunkard: “For 20 years I drank coffee, al- though I knew that it was harmful to me. I suffered from periodical ner- yous headaches which the physician said were caused by the use of coffee. I was indeed a confirmed ‘coffee drunkard.’ “I suffered so intensely from head- aches as to require the services of @ nurse, I could find no tablets or pow- dera that would give me any perma- nent relief, and I was compelled to just let the headaches take their course. Each attack used to last for a day or two. “After I married and had the cares of a family I found I was becoming a nervous wreck, and the strain became unendurable. Something had to be done, and I concluded to try Postum Food Coffee, giving up the old kind altogether, “3 “T made it rich and strong, accord- ing to directions, and drank it with plenty of good cream.
