The Kitchen Grense Can.

Every kitchen ought to have its
grease can emptied once week in
winter; in summer every three days.
All sorts of refuse-fat should go into
it-even the scrapings from plates and
dishes. Greasy water should be al
lowed to cool thoroughly; then have
the grease carefully taken off before
it goes down the pipes. Skillets and
frying pans ought to be filled with
very hot soda water and let stand
half an hour before washing. This
gives time for the soda to partly sa-
ponify the grease and keep it from
sticking to the pipe or caking on tcQ
of the trap.

that one or both Of the men had been

reason why Griffin should have killed
himself or that Evans should have shot
him.

of the skin on the bridge of the nose.

THE CLAIM DIsALL0wED.
Expenditure Of Army Funds For Winning and
Dining Foreigners Illegal,
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, April 13.-The Comptroller
of the Treasury has reaffirmed deci-
sion of his office disallowing claim for
1929 from Lieutenant Colonel j. w. Jacobs,
deputy quartermaster general. The origi-
nal decision of the Comptroller disallow-
ed the amount for the reason that it was
extended without authority of law for
subsistence, wines and liquors, furnished
foreign military attaches accompanying
the army into the field.
On June Bird, 1898, General Shafter, who
was then at Tampa telegraphed the
Secretary of War that representatives of
the foreign governments had come to him
with proper credentials, permitting them
to accompany the army of the United
States. General Shafter said that he de-
sired to entertain these officers in the
manner due their position and for this
purpose he requested, $4,000 of the con-
tingent fund of the army be placed to
the credit of his aide de camp, Lieuten-
ant j. ID. Miley. The Secretary of War
approved the request and a warrant for
81. 600 was sent to Colonel Jacobs as chief
auartermaster for disbursement, the
money to be expended under the verbal
direction of General Shafter. The Comp
troller decided that the expenditure was
entirely illegal.
