Mr.. Graham's statement is as fol.

The affiant Luther A. Graham states

injustice be dope to any one, kes
this sworn statement for publj tior
relative to the question of slips be had
printed, and which has been the sub
ject of newspaper notoriety for the
last several days.
Affiant states that he did have 25C
slips printed at The Sun Office with
the names of the candidates for orr
cult Judge, commonwealth attorn
circuit court clerk printed thereon,
the same names as those used on the
ballots used in the primary election in
MARSHALL county. further state that
none Of these slips were ever used at
any time, but after having been de
livered to me from The Sun office
put them in my safe and there they re-
manned until delivered them to
Esquire Young's court on the second
day Of September, 1908, and while l
never have seen any of the alleged
fraudulent ballots said to have been
found in the ballot boxes of the
Heights precinct, in Marshall county,
yet l am reliably informed by those
who have seen these ballots, that they
are nothing like the slips l had print
ed.
1t will, l presume, be source of
speculation as to why had these slips
printed, my reason for having the
same printed is matter that at this
time do not intend to divulge, suffice
it to say, however. that neither Mr..
John G.. Lovett or George O. Edwards
ever had any knowledge or informa.

A HONE CONVENIENCE.
A Clear Working Brain and What
You Can Do with Il.

The most practical convenience III the
household is q good, clear brain that
can plan work and execute it with the
least labor and fewCst steps. Many
women go about their work without Il
plan and seem to think Of but one or
two things at Il time and this Is more
noticeable IN the Kitchen and dining
room There Is where thousands of
steps are daily taken. amounting to
miles Of travel ut the best. but many
\ mile of needless travel inst for want
of plan and thought that should pre-
cedc action.
Are you going up stairs with just
one thing! There may he others that
need to be taken up. or. In coming
down, more than one thing to bring
down. Are you setting the table? Take
as many dishes at one visit to the china
closet as possible on Il tray or in the
hands. having the things Most needed
nearest the hand and in putting the
dishes away make as few trips as you
can.
Ii you go to the cellar for dinner sup
plies. bring in a pan or basket all
you need. If you are about to bake,
get everything together or have things
so handy that you need only to reach
out OF turn around to get what you
need Make one dish and spoon use
full for several things without washing
II you have much to cook.
Have plenty of wood. coal and hot
and cold water ut hand before you
begin to cook 1t will save hands and
aprons TO have plenty of holders and
small towels to use about the stove.
Wash them once or twice week. AS
bestus paper Is durable to use in the
oven to protect food from burning.
Plan to sit down all you can while Mt
work, for there are many things done
while standing that when sitting III a
chair of suitable height, with a rest
for the feet. would save many an ach-
ing back.
When ironing 1t is Il great relief to
sit down part of the time at least
and get out of the habit of walking
to the clothes frames with each sepa.

things that do not require any special

cornbread cannot be made from the
commercial cornmeal. 1t Is overhead
ed In rapid grinding and is afterward
kiln dried TO keep 1t from becoming
