PRINCE PLAYS. A· SCHOOLBOY.

BEATEN BY COLLEGE CHAMPION.

Going to Bristol on June 2 to open the

now science school at Clifton College, the Prince of Wales changed after the ceremony into a sweater and grey flannel shorts and played a strenuous game of squash racquets.

His opponent was J. H. Waltera, aged 18, racquets champion of the college; and the match took place in the new courts which the Prince opened.

For nearly an hour the Prince battled with his skilful opponent, but the latter's much longer reach enabled him to win after a very hard fight by 5 games to 1.

WHITE BREAD DANGER.

PROBABLE CAUSE OF

·RHEUMATISM.

That rheumatism and rheuma- told arthritis are the result of de- ficiencies in white bread and other modern foods is suggested by re- searches carried out by Dr. M. J. Rowlands and described by him in a paper read last month to à private meeting of medical men in London. His paper is reported below by a special medical corres- pondent, who writes:..

B vitamin is the vital element contained in such fooda as whole- meal flour, whole cereals, yeast, extract, and its complete alisence: from the diet leads to the disease known as bari-beri..

By the end of the second game the Prince was streaming with perspiration, but he refused to rest. He was quick to applaud Walter's fine strokes. "Oh, well played," he shouted again and aguin.

He then began to experiment on piga, which are particularly aus- ceptible to rheumatic affections. The B vitamin he used in this case was "detoxicated wheat embryo." When these animals were shown at Smithfield Fat Stock Show they took four first prizes and the cup.

M. Andrau, a married man, made the acquaintance two years ago of the daughter of a well-to-do family of Nice named Germaine Bonifay, aged 17. A child was born a few months ago.

Bonifay, but this apparently did not go as And- rau wished, and, with the idea of abandoning his young sweetheart, he called yesterday at her mother's villa.

As Mme. Bonifay appeared at a window Andrau, producing a re- volver, threatened to kill her if she did not sign a document stating he was not the father of her daughter's child.

When the woman refused anîl called for help, the infuriated man fired two shota, at her. She fell dead with a bullet in her head.

Father Intervenes. Meanwhile Mr. Bonifay, the girl's father, appeared on the scene armed with a revolver. He fired two shots at Andrea, but missed him, whereupon Andrau rushed into the house looking for M. Boni- foy.

He found him on the first floor of the villa and fired a few shots

at him.

The father, who was not hit by any of the bullets, threw himself from 4.8ocond-floor window into the garden. By an extraordinary chance he was not Injured.

Having discovered that M. Boni- fay had escaped, Andrau shot him- self in the head and expired a few minutes later,

Sir Flinders has just returned from the annual expedition of the British School of Archaeology to Puleatine, "Egypt over the border," and among discoveries he describ ed were:

Huge granaries, nearly 2.500 years old. capable of storing grain to feed 100,000 men for three months.

Gold earrings that may have been worn by the Ishmaelites.

Games board of the B.C. period similar to a cribbage board..

Table service, nearly 3,000 years old, which probably belonged to an Assyrian Governor.

She kept all the accounts, and acted as paymaster for 380 native assistants.

Sir Flinders said that the "huge circular granaries" he found had a capacity of about 800 tons each, As they belonged to the fifth century, it was probable that Gerar was the base for the Per- sian armies then holding Egypt, and that the granaries suppiled them with food.

"The largest iron tools we have ever found in Palestine" was an- other discovery mentioned by Sir Flinders. They belonged to the Pogled 1100 B.C., and included picks weighing 715, and large bocs and plough frons.
