MRS. FLORENCE MAVERICK. cause prominent persons on both sides of the water, and veritabIe army as- sumed her championship in the effort that finally obtained her release.
 A great factor in procuring for her a ticket of leave is believed to have been the assumption that in her help lessness she had been robbed of a big estate and was powerless as confined convict to get justice.
 Judge Grinnan in the chancery court at Richmond handed down a decision setting aside deeds by which Mrs. Msybrick and her mother the Baron ess von Roques, conveyed to David W. Armstrong of New York 2,500,00 acres of land in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky.
 Armstrong was also ordered to give an accounting of moneys received from the sale of parcels of the lands men, toned in the deeds. These may total near s5Oo,000. A 42,0o0 acre tract in Kentucky was sold 10 the Kentucky Union Land company for $s5, 900, while two tracts of Virginia lands were sold for S300000.
 Mrs Maybrick and her mother in- herited the land from the first husband of the baroness. They employed Arm strong as their attorney to secure deeds to the enormous tracts of land shortly q fter tho dpath nf Mrc Nav bricks husband. for which she served a term in British prisons. her impris- onment furnishing famous interna- tional episode.
 Attorney Samuel Y. Hayden, for Mrs. Msybrick and the baroness, claimed that the deed to Armstrong was invalid because Mrs. Maybrick was in such a frame of mind as to make her irresponsible when the deed was executed.
 Mrs Maybrick was condemned to die in England in 1889 for the murder of her husband by poison after sen sational trial that startled two conti- nents. Her husband was found dead, and an autopsy is said to have shown that he was killed by arsenic. for the alleged administering of which Mrs. MaybriCk WAS convicted.
 After she was in jail strong efforts were made to reverse the verdict. and such great influence was brought to bear in her case that he sentence was changed 10 one of life imprisonment.

There are cheaper laundry soaps than Fels-Naptha but no other so economical.
 Sounds odd, doesn't it
 But it's true.
 Fels-Naptha Is more economical be- cause 1t saves time, saves work, saves the cost of fuel and makes your clothes wear twice as long.
 Fels-Naptha cleans your clothes in cool or lukewarm water in summer or winter without boiling or hot water to weaken their fabric, and without hard rubbing to wear them into holes.
 It takes half as long and requires much less work than the old way.
 Try 1t next washday.
 See how white, and clean, and sweet Fels-Naptha makes your clothes.
 Follow carefully the directions on the red and green wrapper.

TIE PICNIC LUNCH
REALLY THE STAR FEATURE OF
DAYS OUTING.
Proper Arrangement and Packing Of
Food Necessary If One Would
Have the Feast Tempting
and Paiatabe.

Too much luggage spoils the picnic,
and yet the little feast is the star
feature of the day. How, then, to car
~ enough to eat, and at the same
time have it look tempting?
There is a hamper made Of light
weight wicker and yet strong enough
to stand the wear of many outings in
the woods.
A telescope shape is easy to handle
and its size can be regulated to mt
the contents so readily that the wom-
an who thinks ahead and of the par
ty's return is sure to choose this style
instead Of the square or oblOng hamp-
er made after the fashion of the Eng
lish tea basket.
Straw cases for bottles, cups and
glasses are superior in many ways to
leather ones. The lighter covering
may not wear so well as the others,
but it looks much cooler. Hamper
fittings can be bought separately and
tucked away in plain basket, and If
well packed no danger of breakage
need be feared.
Wooden plates are really much
more picnicky than china. If sand
wiches and cakes are placed on plates
when the basket is being arranged
and each one is wrapped first in nap
kin wrung out in ice water. then in
/ bakers or parafine paper the food
viii be kept perfectly fresh, and 1t
kcan be placed at once on the picnic
table when the time for luncheon has
arrived. Lettuce leaves that have been
packed loosely in a linen bag thor
oughly dampened with ice water will
help to give the luncheon table a
fresh, cool and inviting air and they
can be used to garnish the plates OF
cold meats and salads This is an ex
} cellent way to carry green salads, and
/ if the dressing is made just before
H starting and carried in a bottle, or the
H ingredients packed so that the dress
ing can be mixed by the salad expert
while the luncheon is being spread
out, the salad will be fresh and crisp
: Tiny cones of salt and pepper. one
packet for each member Of the par
ty, are easier to carry and much les:
trouble than to take along a set o.
shakers.
There are such perfect ways nov
of carrying hot or cold liquids ant

chilled before starting seldom gets
warm and mussy if it is handled care
fully and kept out of the sun. Plates
and cups can be kept on the ice for a
while before they are tucked away in
the hamper and they will stay cold for
some time.
Timed and bottled foods are best
taken in small lots so that they can be
opened as needed and the empty
boxes or bottles thrown away at once.
Having a number of things in this way
does away with passing the food from
one end of the table or luncheon cloth
to the other. Paper napkins are good
enough for the average outdoor func-
ton of this kind. They should, how
ever, be supplied in quantities so that
they may be used for covering the
plates, for wiping off dust and for
cleaning the dishes after the meal is

light feed of grain in the litter in the
morning; stir it in well so they have
to work to find it. At noon open the
hopper and let them help themselves

should be closed and the hens fed an
abundant feed of grain. If some grain
is left in the litter they will search

Comfortable Quarters and Balanced Ration Needed to Get

where the hens can get exercise work
ing at it. Onions, ~turnips, potatoes
and several other vegetables may be
fed. These, however, should be
cooked until soft and then mixed with
about an equal bulk of bran; feed
while still quite warm. We prefer
to feed such a feed at noon. Be care
full not to feed too much, as the hens
are very fond of soft, moist mash, and
will gorge themselves with it if given
a chance. Be sure that each hen can
get her share and do not feed more
than they will eat up clean in 10 min
utes. Also be careful to have the
vegetables dry enough so that when
the bran is added it will make a crum-
bly,, moist mixture.
Always be careful to feed clean food
of all kinds, and shun all bad smelling
disinfectants. The egg shell is porous
and will, therefore, allow the egg to
absorb bad odors. Store the eggs in
a clean place and market them at
least once a week; by following this
method one should soon be able TO get
a reputation for furnishing eggs that
are good and genuinely fresh.

When the cold nights begin to come
it is time to bring the pullets into
winter quarters. They should then
begin to show signs of approaching
maturity. Before bringing them in,
clean the house they are to occupy,
whitewash it thoroughly and disinfect
the perches, nest boxes, etc. Be sure
that the d~isinfectant enters every
crack and ~crevice. Then the
floor with about four inches of fine
gravel or sand. Cover this with six
inches Of dry, clean, long straw, as
the pullets will break it up quickly
enough. Where leaves are plentiful
they may be used and make very sat
isfactory litter, although they do not
last as long as straw.
When the house is ready remove
the pullets to it carefully. Dc not
carry them by n leg only or other
ding at this time will mean a subse-
quent loss in the eggbasket. Of course
a change always produces timidity,
but by exercising great care they will
soon become accustomed to their new
quarters. When about to enter the
house a slight noise announcing ones
approach before opening the doors
will prevent fright and injury from a
sudden rush or flight against obstacles
in the pen. Chickens SOC get to
know the call of a low, soft whistle

In accustoming pullets to their new

is to have a window hinged on one
