They were among the worst slow poisons he knew of, he said. Sugar and salt were placed oil the table, last evening. Mr Broughton called attention to this and said that If anybody cared to reach for them, they might do so, but after lie stated what he considered their effect was on the human system, no one made the move.

Mr Broughton urged the use of honey to sweeten food. He denounerd starchy foods and said the only good in a potato was In the skin. It was inadvisable to eat moat and potato in the same mouthful. One questioner wanted to know what a person could do about corrective eating in a boarding house. Mr Broughton replied that he had yet to hear of a boarding house mistress w-ho gave the customers exactly what they wanted, except, possibly, prunes.

Mr Broughton said it was bad practice to take a walk after a nient. Energy was needed by the digestive organs, when food has been tuken Into the stomach. Finally the lecturer said: The lea you eat, the more good what you don't eat will do you. BENEFIT WHIST PARTY AT WATERTOWN MONDAY WATERTOWN, March 26 Extensive preparations have been made for a whist and bridge party to be held In Winsor Club, Langdon av, Monday evening, to assist Rev Joseph A. Lully.

SSJ, in his missionary woi among the negroes cf Fort Arthur, Tex. The friends of Rev Fr Laliy have donated some attractive prizes. Rev Fr Laliy is the South Boston boy who has been engaged In the mission field of the South for the past II years. For eight years he was stationed in New Orleans and for the past three years in Texas. Those in charge of the party are Mr F.

J. Laliy, Mrs Herbert Helstrom, Mrs Lawrence Kelly, Mrs ChaiUs Ceilfuss and Miss Blanche MacMillan. A. xv-J brought a mental picture of a mina-ture motor. Last September he began to make the mental picture assume reality.

Without blue prints, not bothering with measurements, he proceeded to machine his parts out of raw material, casting none of them. At last it was completed. The base of' the motor is 4 inches long by abount two inches wide. It has a one-inch stroke and the cylinder is of thirteen-sixteenths bore. The miniature spark plug, which he designed himself, is less than three-eighths of an inch long.

The gasoline tank is the size of a large thimble, and the spark is supplied from dry cells. At present he is working on a small speed lathe which he intends to build and take back to his home with him this Summer so that he can continue his experiments. He expects to improve the machine processes of his father's factery, having more than one new type of machine for this work already in mind. MORE THAN 200 PAINTINGSFOR SALE Collection Made by Late Desmond FitzGerald The American Art Association announces the most important sale of impressionistic paintings to have come to New York in many years. This collection, formed by the late Desmond FitzGerald of Boston and removed from his public gallery at Brookline, includes nine important oil paintings by the famous French impressionist, Claude Monet, which form an imposing contingent in a collection of more than 200 paintings representing the work of 92 well-known modern artists.

Mr FitzGerald was an early friend and admirer of the recently deceased Claude Monet and was one of the leaders in Boston in his service to art, and erected an imposing gallery at Brookline to house his paintings which was much visited by lovers of modern art and frequently drawn upon by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, where many of these pictures were exhibited. This group of paintings is scheduled to be sold on the evenings of Apr.l 21 and 22 at the American Art Association in New York. Foremost among the artists of the French school is Claude Monet, whose works are greatly in demand. One of his nine interesting canvases portrays his first wife and child at leisure in a flowered garden. A group of renowned artists, headed by Louis Eugene Boudin, whose seven canvases portray intimate scenes, comprise such famous names as Degas Renoir, whose Na-ture Morte was recently exhibited at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Le-pine Pissarro, with his Peasants in the Field, a painting reproduced in Theodore Duret's Histoire des Pein-tres Impressionistes, and 13 examples by the great Maxime Maufra.

The balance of the list of the French impressionistic artists is too long to enumerate, save for the important oils of Henry Moret, Albert Andre and Alfred Sisley. Leaving the French school, there are two canvases by the great Norwegian artist of the running water, Fritz Thaulow, and numerous canvases by the hand of the two Dutch masters Van Mastenbrock and Weissenbruck, portraying land and sea scenes Holland. The American group is no less important, boasting John Singer Sargents canvas, The Confession. painted while he was interned in the Tyrol at the outbreak of the war, a painting exhibited at the Sargent Memorial Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and at the Founders Exhibition, Grand Central Galleries, New York, in 1925, and an important Winslow Homer. These are followed by four examples by Childe Hassam, four by Twachtman.

five by Benson, three by Metcalf, and nine water colors by the well-known Boston artist, W. Dodge Macknight, whose work is so readily absorbed in Boston. An exhibition of these paintings will open on April 16, and will continue until the date of sale. TOWN OFFICIALS NAMED BY HULL SELECTMEN HULL, March 26 Last evening, at their regular meeting, the Selectmen appointed the minor town officials, which included Walter H. Sturgis, inspector of cattle; Daniel Alfred Smith superintendent of streets; Thomas H.

Buttimer of Hingham, town counsel; John R. Wheeler and Capt Ralph S. Place fence viewers; Robert H. Shea and Alfred Freday, pound keepers; Bowen Tufts, John R. Wheeler and Dr Walter H.

POLICE FIND WOBURN MANS AUTO: MANY PARTS TAKEN WOBURN, March 26 An automobile owned by Carl Anderson of 541 Washington et, this city, which was stolen Thursday night from in front of the Swedish Lutheran Church. Montvaie av. was found last night in the woods between Stoneham and Woburn. Patrolman John J. Kelley found the car, which had been stripped of about everything movable.

REV FR ECKERT IN TRIBUTE TO ROSARY Mission at St Patricks to Continue Two Weeks With the attendance as large as on ny of the preceding nights of the week the women attending the mission at St Patricks Church, Roxbury, again crowded that edifice last night, when Rev Frs Eckert and O'Hearn of the Dominican order took part in the services. The mission will continue for another fortnight. In the course of his instruction last evening Rev Fr Eckert spoke at length on the rosary. He said that there were no prayers of the Catholic church more beautiful and that the rosary should be said for the dead. "It was not a great many years ago, you will remem Der," he said, that we had a great World War.

Everyone was thinking of God in those days and they were offering prayers and having masses said for the hundreds of thousands of American youths who went overseas. As a matter of faot, I might tell you that the number of requests for masses to be offered in those days were all too many for the priests to comply with. "But, how quickly all this changes. It Is a phase of the time we are living In. We soon forget.

But we should not. We should remember the departed souls all of the time and hope that our own souls may be remembered after we are gone. Anyway, it will be to your credit to store up prayers for yourself now and not wait for the time when you cannot offer them. I am impressed when passing through some public square or through a cemetery by a monument dn memory of some Individual boy or Nme group of boys who participated in the World War or some other war. I can never pass those memoirs of the world's events without thinking to myself how many remember those to to whom they are erected and say, May God rest their souls.

I think of those who live near where these monuments are erected and wonder how many people passing those shafts think to offer prayer to Almighty God for the peace of those departed souls. Rdv Fr Eckert said the closing services for the married women will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock and the opening of the week's mission for the single women will be 7:45 in the evening. BOSTON INDUSTRIAL HOME HEAD TO BE HONORED Oliver Elliott, for 26 years superintendent of the Boston Industrial Home 17 Davis st, will be honored tomorrow night when a program, which will include entertainment and speakers from the Business Mens League, Salvation Army and rescue societies, will be given at the institution. Freeman O. Emerson will preside.

with every protein meal, meat, fish, fowl, etc, he said, is a sure way of counteracting the dangers of meat eating, that is. if proper attention is given to food combinations otherwise. People say they can't eat strawberries, because they break out on them, said Mr Broughton. Well, let them break out. The breaking out is merely poisonous waste being ejected from the system.

A few pimples are inconvenient, but it is better to hide yourself away for a few days and let the strawberries break out. You can't eat a better fruit than strawberries or grapes. The dessert consisted of raspberry sherbet, sweetened with honey, and a coffee substitute compounded from a small portion of high-grade coffee and a large percent of cereal and vegetable substitutes. Sugar and Salt Taboo Many questions were asked by the diners. One wished to know why it- was people have lived so long with little or no attention to correct dietetics.

Mr Broughton replied that they havent lived. Who hasnt gone to a physician and who hasn't gone to the dentist? Mr Hooser supplemented this by saying that folks were not living they were too darned lazy to fall down and die and give the undertaker a job. Mr Broughton continually emphasized what he considered the dangers WORCESTER, March 26 A vision that came true a dream child that has seen life. That is what a little motor that rests on a table at the Worcester Boys Trade School may be termed. William Jewell Robinson, 21, of Sherman Station, Me, first became interested in motors and mechanics "in general while a student at the Bangor High School.

His father is a lumberman, and William expects to return to Sherman Station and enter the lumber business. Before that, however, he decided to continue his studies and experiments in mechanics. His instructor at the Bangor High School, William E. Russell, is a graduate of the Worcester Boys' Trade School, and he urged Wil: 11am to come to Worcester to continue his studies along this line. William came, and with him he SUNDAY CONCERT BY B.

MAN AND CHILD HURT IN TWO WOBURN ACCIDENTS WOBURN, March 26 Two automobile accidents occurred in this city today. As a result two persons are at the Choate Hospital. The condition of Maxel Backman of Edith av. North Woburn, is serious. Patterson, a child, of 35 Center st, Woburn, is suffering with a broken leg.

Alvin G. A. Olson of 57 Harold av, Woburn, while driving a coupe, owned by the Edison Electric Company, Boyl-ston st, Boston, on Main st. near the home of John B. Hoag, collided with Backman, who was riding a bicycle back of a truck.

Backman. aged 43, was taken to the hospital immediately. The other accident happened when 3-year-old Mildred Patterson, was struck at Hovey and Main sts by an automobile driven by Francis Hoban of Middlesex av, Wilmington, and owned by William Regan of Ballardvale st, Billerica. The child was taken to the office of Dr William Kelleher and later to the hospital. overcome.

The most beautiful tones are produced and folks generally who are unacquainted with the business would be amazed to see some of the latest creations. Woburn produced many of the pioneers in the trade and they have been progressive enough to keep up with all the new developments. The community now occupies an unquestioned position as the leading patent leather city of the world and It intends to keep it. Sj i Jordan Marsh Company ners or in japan shops which finish the leather on contract. Two Classes In Trade The leather trade here is divided in two classes the tanners and the jap-anners.

Some of the tanners japan their own. leather and others take other leather and finish It on contract. Tanners who have japan shops of their own send out their surplus to other japanners. Some healthy developments have taken place in the leather business recently in the city. Tolman-Fox Company, tanners, has resumed operations; Alorris Kaplan of the Prime Tanning Company, has over the Hopkin-son Leather Company, and will go into japanning at a capacity of 2500 a day; S.

and M. W. Snyder, Inc, purchased the American Hide Leather Company tannery and japan shop, which had been idle for some time. Alvah Buckman, formerly of the Buckman Tanning Company, and several associates, will operate the Park-st japan shop; John J. Riley Company, tanners and japanners, are enlarging their tannery to increase the capacity to 1000 sides a day.

Harry W. Clark, former owner of the Algonquin Leath-er Company, has become associated with H. S. M. W.

Snyder, Inc, principally in the patent leather end of their business. The Peterson Patent Leather-Company, Bow st, which lost its Jefferson-av factory in the big fire of a month ago, is contemplating enlarging the parent plant on Bow st to take care of the business formerly handled at the burned 'plant. Thayer-Foss Company Is tanning 1600 sides; E. Cummings Leather Company is doing 600 sides and Dorrington Bros are turning out 400. Beggs Cobb will increase the patent capacity of its tannery to 3300 sides a day, which will make Its ja-pannery at Cross st the biggest in the city.

Morris Kaplan plans to run the Hopkinson plant up to 2500 sides and the Murray Leather Company, which conducts a tannery on Campbell st and a japanAery and tannery on Salem st, will increase its output to 1200 sides a day. When the John J. Riley Conipany changes are made in the tannery this company will turn out 1000 sides a day in the tannery and the present output of 1500 sides in the patent shop will be maintained. New Concern Doing Well The North Star Leather Company, operated by Ex-Aid Charles H. Wol-hnger, a comparatively new concern, is doing more than 500 sides of patent a day and Kean Bros Bedell, who also operate a tannery in Nashua, are doing more than 800 sides of patent at their Conn st japan shop.

H. S. M. W. Snyder, audition to tanning and japanning 1000 sides ot patent, are also turning out 400 dozen India skins a day in the former American Hide shop.

They are planning to increase their output in both departments. Peterson-Merrill Company, japanners, have been doing 2000 sides of patent a day and expect to reach this figure again within a short time. Crescent Leather Company, tanners and japanners, are doing 1600 sidea a day and at A. W. Peterson Company, they are turning out about 800 daily.

The Middlesex Japanning Company, operated by Allan McLatchey, 900 sides of patent are 'being finished every day. The Algonquin Leather Cmpany, tanners and japanners, are doing 900 sides of patent a day and the Ray Japanning Company, aild the American Japanning Company, new concerns, are coming along with a output of about 150 sides a day in each shop. Colored Leathers In Demand The patent leather business has taken on entirely -different angles. Colored leathers of every shade and hue are being produced and while this is much more difficult than the old-time straight black, yet the introduction of these novelties has been met and WOBURN', March 26 The flourishing condition of the patent leather Industry, both in tanning and japanning, seems to assure to this city for some time to come the distinction of being the largest producer of patent leather in the world. With.

11 tanneries and 17 japan shops turning out over 90,000 sides of patent leather a week, the industry is today going stronger in this city than it ever has before. Every japan-nery in the city is working and many are planning to increase their capacity by the acquisition of other buildings or the extension of their present plants. The principal industry of this city is leather and when leather is depressed the effect is immediate on general business. When patent leather is booming, as it is today, there is general prosperity. It is an industry that Is paying good wages and many fat pay envelopes are going into the homes these days.

100 Miles of Leather Daily Persons passing the drying fields of glittering leather on wooden frames do not realize the immensity of Woburn's position in this business. Acres and acres of land are covered every fair day with 15,000 or mor sides of leather, and enough patent leather Is made here every week to stretch, end on end, nearly 100 miles. The patent leather business of this city alone takes 45,000 cattle a week to keep the business going. The price of cow hides has gone up from ID to cents a pound, 'and tanners say that the country must be eating less beef because there is a marked shortage in hides. They say that the leather business generally is not strong enough throughout the country to account for trie shortage, and in their opinion less cattle are being killed.

The trade today, according to a leading tanner, is paying higher prices for poor hides than it paid a year ago for the best grades. Another curious development of the hide market is the fact that cow hides are costing today almost the price of calf skins, which are always considered more valuable. While tanneries in many parts of the country, including some sections of New England not far from Boston, are closed, every tannery In Woburn ts operating, and all are planning to increase their present output, The chief reason for this is that the local tanneries operate almost exclusively on patent leather which is later japanned either in the japan shops of the tan- quickly relieves stomach distress of this sort, but is compounded to conquer stubborn indigestion or dyspepsia and put an end to diziness, nervousness, headache, sleeplessness and despondency, when these distressing troubles are caused by stomach disturbance of the kind mentioned.

What did Methuselah eat to keep himself alive so long? This question was propounded ht the second monthly dinner of the Boston Dietetic Club in Beacon Hall, Brookline, last evening, but no one could answer it. Methuselah, it was pointed out, said very little about himself, and there are no records available as to his views on dietetics. Henry James Broughton, president of the club, who presided at the dinner and lectured continuously from a dais while the course was being served, produced a. fine example of longevity, due to safe and sound eating, in the person of William Hcoser, 91 with flowing white who described himself as an Indian medicine The dinner was served to show How and what foods should be served and combined to keep a balance of JO percent acid forming foods and 80 percent alkaline base foods. There were many members present who partook of the first dinner served under the clubs auspices.

1 hey knew what to expect. But there were also many strangers present and to them the dinner proved a distinct revelation. Food Analyzed As Eaten Everything eaten last evening was analyzed by Pres Broughton as it was being consumed. He gave the reason lor the kind of food served and the order in which it was served and explained what happens to food and food mixtures after they leave the mouth on tneir way to give nourishment to the body. He pointed out how the customary food combinations and methods ot preparation cause chemical poisons tc be developed within the body, the results of which, he said, are cumulative and sometimes do not make theii harmful effects known for years.

The dinner started with pepper rings, radishes (without salt) and fruit dish consisting of an apple cut in eighths and sprinkled with nut dust. Eat all the apples you can stuff into your system, advised the lecturer. You can't eat too many. Eat the skin, too, even if you have to put it through a grinder. For soup, a mock oyster concoction was served, consisting of vegetable oyster plant.

The flavor of the real oyster was obtained from sea lettuce or dulce, which Mr Broughton said was rich in sodium chloride ancf iodine, making it valuable for the eater of excess mfeat protein. Excess meat protein, he said, overworks the thyroid gland and the iodine counteracts this condition to a great extent. Tb emain course consisted of stuffed filet sole, baked, in small portion, with mashed turnip, spinach and string beans. To those who cfcd not eat fish an equal portion of unsalted nuts was served. Heres Salad! Mr Broughton pointed out that white fish meat is less acid producing than the dark variety.

The acid production of a three or four-ounce portion can be balanced or neutralized by the various alkaline foods which comprised the balance of the dinner. Then a salad was brought on. It was announced as a surprise and a corrective. It consisted of a small mound of amber-colored shredded stuff, topped with a strawberry. The base was water cress.

The diners were directed to squeeze a section of lemon over it and then pour on some honey. The disn reallv consisted of sauerkraut and crushed pineapple. Mr Broughton explained that this particular salad was 100 percent perfect, and was of the utmost value in correcting and preventing putrefactive fermentation in the digestive tract. A large plate of this salad served -a two-day special! Monday and Tuesday only 40-Inch Washable Flat Crepe if Usually 2.00 i the bright colors and shades so in demand, well as black and navy.

And why should any man or oman suffer another hour with indigestion or annoying stomach misery from such causes when the remedy that acts almost instantly can bo easily procured?
