MAKING AND FREEZING ICE CREAM

When ice cream is to be of rather

Liquids always increase somewhat IN
bulk when frozen. unCOOked materials
swell more than those which have been

of freezing will increase its bulk al

mixture has more body and melts much
more slowly.
Ice Tor freezing should be broken into
humps not larger than a walnut while
the salt crystals should not exceed
pea in size; very coarse salt and i'm
perfectly crushed ice are responsible
for many failures in home freezing.
With some makes of freezers the ice
must be pounded even finer than this.

Care Of Hair.

Any woman, no matter whether her
face be fat or thin, looks prettier when
the hair is dressed loosely. Whether
your hair should be arranged high or
low depends upon the lines Of the face.
The frequency Of shampooing must be
regulated to a certain extent by the
character Of the hair and TO the sort OF
atmosphere 10 which it is exposed.
Very oily hair should be washed every
fortnight. The same thing may be said
Of hair that is filled with dandruff. In
some cases a weekly cleaning is neces-
saTy. When eggs are used there Is no
possible chance of any harm being done
Eggs themselves are a tonic to the
growth.
Bejeweled combs are suitable only for
evening wear. There is too much dis
play OF jewelry in the daytime any
way.
There is. Of course. a slight shedding
OF hair going en- ccnstantly-fulhlling
the law of the survival of the fittest-
but this is not surprising considering
how delicate is its structure.
There is one compensation in gray
hair-it eives certain air of distinction.
Few hair dyes are really harmless, and
for that reason II is Just as we'll To be
cautious OF these mix tureS.

George Corners, of Mason City,
Indicted For a Grave
Offense
CALENDAR LEADS TO ARREST
conner's Thefts Believed to Be From
Mail Pouches at Mason City juno
ton, Where There Is Always Short
Delay in Transferring to or From
the Milwaukee.
Special TO Tlmes-Republicar.

Mason City, Feb BY means of a
calendar sent as a Christmas present
and traced by detectives, George Con-
grand jury on the charge of pilfering
the United States mails. This calendar
contained picture of the Methodist
church at Austin, Mimi, and bore the
superscription, From Fannie to Mann
ma The article was found in the
possession of Corners along with sew
eral other articles OF feminine proper
ty and were taken from the mail pouch
at the Mason City Junction, where the
OF Its transfer from the Milwaukee to
the Central road or vice versa. De-
tective Cowan of the Milwaukee road
ferreted out the thefts
The calendar gave hint as to
where 1t came from, as well as some
other articles which seemed to come
from a lady of wealth, and the detec-
tive believed it might also reveal the
ownership of some other articles. The
detective sought the Methodist pastor
at Austin and asked for the identity
of Fannie. After going over his list
OF membership he decided she was the
wife of one of the Austin bankers, and
she quickly identified the calendar as
one she had sent her mother at Los
Angeles but which her mother had
not received. She also identified the
lace collar SO that it became evident
that the articles had been stolen from
the mails.
The matter was put in the hands Of
Postal Inspector Allmon, who by
means of advertising through the
newspaper, at the suggestion of Mr.
Cowan. also found owners Of some Of
the other plumber in nearby towns who
had sent articles through the mail and
never heard from them since, until the
arrest of young Corners. Corners is
10 years of age, though he seems much
younger. Deputy U. S. Marshal Gus
tafson took charge Of the prisoner.

this case however it was pretty close
10 the real thing and the animal doing
the mischief was a heifer The victim
was w. B. Piatt. He was driving a
bunch of heifers to town and had
reached that point when one of them
got mad streak and turned back.
VIII put his horse on the run and had
just overtaken her when she turned
and with lowered head charged his
horse. His horse was knocked down
and after turning over in the air once
or twice. he landed on the frozen
ground striking on his thigh. He re-
ceived serious bruises which confined
him to bed fora day or two and he es-
teens himself lucky at coming out of
it so well. After putting the horse
and rider out of business the heifer
went through three wire fences and
was allowed to have her own way
about returning to the farm.
Sidney.
Mrs. Ida Sumpter and W. r. Sump-
ter, whose divorce case aroused the in
dignation of all Sidney at the January
term of court, were married Wednes-
day in Nebraska City. Mrs. Sumpter
sued for and obtained a divorce on
the grounds of cruelty and inhuman
treatment, and so firmly established
her claim that Judge Green urged
criminal prosecution against Mr..
Sumpter, and he was saved only by
the prayers of Mrs. Sumpter, who only
wanted to be free from him, as she
said Numerous witnesses, among
1I,:1 q,
ter, introduced evidence showing the
most cruel and barbarous treatment
of Mrs. Sumpter by her husband, and
now, after less than a months separa-
ton. they are again man and wife. A
marriage license was not to be easily
obtained here, so the fond lovers
went to Nebraska and procured one.
They again took up life on the same
old farm, four miles southwest of Sid
ney.

Cedar Rapids Feb. 9.-The case of
Mrs. Zetta Eckles, on trial for the muir
der Of Constable Martin, will probably
70 to the jury this evening. The evil
dence was all In last night and today
the arguments Of the attorneys are be-
ing made. The climax to what has
been sensational trial came yester-
day afternoon when the defense, con-
trary to expectations, placed Mrs.
Eckles on the stand to testify in her
own behalf
The manner in which she gave the
dramatic portions Of her testimony
added to the spectacular features Of
the trial. At times her voice was
choked with sabs. Several times she
raised her hands above her head to
show the Mariner in which she said
Constable Martin had menacingly held
the bed slat. More than once she de-
clared that she had never meant to kill
the man, and her voice shook with
sobs as she said it. Sometimes she
. leaned far forward in the witness chair
and spoke with all the earnestness and
force at her command At other times
she leaned back and wrnng her hands,
as If in agony. Once she accompanied
her words with the dramatic beating
Of one hand ii, the other. At another
time she pourded on the arm of her
chair with her clenched fist.
When she had concluded she was
almost exhausted, and after the in
production of few minor witnesses
both sides rested.
Mrs. Eckles killed Constable Martin
while the latter was taking her fur
niture on writ of attachment. She
claims self defense. M

American Ideas About Wife
Beating Proved undoing of
Gonna Toketlian
DENTAL STUDENTS TAKE HAND
They Teach tho Armenian's Wife the
Idea of Justice in This Country and
Gave Her Husband a Hint to Get
Out of Town-The Affair Finally
Ends in Divorce Court.
Special to Times-Republican.

Iowa City, Feb. 9.-The decree of d.
vorce granted yesterday by Judge By
ington in the district court to Beatrice
Toketlian, wrote a fms at the end
of one of the most pitiful tragedies of
the present school year of the State
University of Iowa. No one put in an
appearance to defend the interests of
the husband, Gonna Toketlian, since
that individual had long since dropped
out of the current of the city life and
no one in the court room knew of his
whereabouts at the time the decree
was granted. Upon his release from
custody month ago, he had been
supplied with funds with which to
pay his way to Boston by the fresh
man dental class of the State Univer-
sity of Iowa and since that time no
word has been heard of him.
Early last September the ToketliaEs
arrived in the city from New York,
where the family had been staying
since their arrival in, the country from
Armenia. The man, who was dem
fist. was unable to practice his profess
sion because of rheumatism and his
wife had bravely started in to learn
the profession in order that she might
support both him and their children.
But the cruelties practiced by the
husband toward his wife increased
with every weeks residence in the
city. With nothing else to do he set
about systematically to annoy her. He
beat her continually, and threatened
her life and the lives of their chill
dren. About the time their slender re-
sources We're exhausted the club wom-
en- Of the city discovered their situa-
ton. They succeeded in convincing
the woman that in America she was
not forced to put up with such abuse,
and eventually they secured the arrest
of Toketlian. In default of funds to
pay his fine he was placed in the
county Jail. Upon his promise that he
would leave the country, he was re-
leased, supplied with funds by the
freshman dental class of the State I'M
iversity of Iowa and started toward
the orient. The divorce granted yes
terday afternoon will now separate the
couple for good.
