PANIC IN HOUSEHOLD
COOK FROM INDIAN TERRITORY
CREATES PANIC WITH A
LEMON EXTRACT JAG.

Chicago, H., May 2.-Because her
employers and the police were unac'
customed TO the alcoholic ethics OF
the erstwhile Indian Territory, Mrs.
Ida w. France, chocolate colored,
created a small panic just before mid
night. As kitchen queen she had
reigned for short time in the house
hold OF Andrew Young, 29ll East
Thirtieth street, a department man
ager for Montgomery, Ward q Co.
Since Mrs. France arrived from Ok.
lahoma, where United States mar
shals make real liquor scarce, and
shouldered the destinies Of the Young
kitchen. Mrs. Young has observed that
her bottle of lemon extract required
replenishing almost daily. Because OF
this, she suggested TO Mr.. Young that
since they were using so much, per
haps he had better bring home a
wholesale supply at once. And, ac.
cordingly he sent home a quarter
dozen bottles.
When the three big vials arrived in
the kitchen, Ida was jubilant. There
was enough extract in sight TO pros.
trate a blanket Indian, and the won.
