The report of the jury in the town
lot matter came at a time wholly un-
expected by the public, as the govern
ment had announced only two hours
before that other witnesses were com.
ing from Missouri and Ohio. There
were rot more than twenty persons
in the court room when the report was
made. Fifteen Of the w%ealthiest men
in Muskogee called at the office Of
the United States marshal here to-
night and signed Governor Haskell's
bond for $4,000. Many more asked to
be allowed to sign it, but there was

Character of the Charge.
An insight is afforded into the char
acter of the charges in the federal
grand jury investigation of alleged
Muskogee town lot frauds by the ale
cations in the so-called Mott civil
suits filed in the federal court for the
eastern district of Oklahoma. Among
other things charged in the bill is the
allegation "That the said Turner and
Porter and Charles N. Haskell and
Walter r. Eaton confederated and
conspired together for the purpose of
securing all the lots into which the
said (described) tracts had been plat
ted al one-half their appraised value,
and thus evading the provisions OF
the Creek agreement and defrsuding
the Creek nation Of money which
would have come to it through auc-
tion sales; that, in order to carry out
the conspiracy, it was agreed by and
between the said parties that all OF
said property should be scheduled and
sold to persons under the control and
domination of the said parties or
some of them and persons nominated
by them, and that an arrangement
would be perfected with the parties tc
whom the property was to be SEIZED
uled and sold to Immediately reconvey
the same to the said Turner, Porter
Haskell or Eaton, or to some person
designated by them, and that the said
property, profits and proceeds thereof
should belong to Turner, Porter, Has

More Work for Jury.

The report Of the grand jury was
made to Judge Robert E. Campbell, OF
the United States court. The jury
was instructed to report for duty
again Monday morning, which gave
rise to the impression that only a
partial report had been made in the
town lot cases. Later it was learned
that the jury is to consider matters
other than the town lot frauds next
week. Several of those, it was ex-
pected, would be indicted, escaped be-

There is no more touching or SIN
cere personal tribute than that paid
by Helen Keller, the deaf, dumb and
blind young woman, on the memory Of
Henry H. Rogers, who had taken a
great interest in and largely paid for
her education Miss Keller writes in
part:
In the death of H. H. Rogers I have
lost dear friend. The protest Of my
heart against the thought Of losing
him makes me realize how much l
loved him. l shall not try now to en
press my gratitude, for think that
Mr.. Rogers shrank from expressions OF
gratitude. Mr.. Rogers was always re.
sponsive, always sympathetic. He was
always doing little kindnesses quietly
and unnoticed. If needed books, he
ordered them. If I admired flower
or plant, he sent 1t to me. He had
the Imagination, the vision and the
heart of great. man, and count II
one of the most precious privileges Of
my life to have had him for my friend
The memory of his friendship will
grow sweeter and brighter each year
until he takes my hand again and we
gather roses together In the gardens
of paradise.

MILK, ITS CARE AND USE.
Clean Vessel Necessary-Pasteur
tfOn-Lfme Water

Clean Vessel Necessary-Pnsteur
tiOn-Lime Water.
Vessels used for milk must be thor
oughly cleansed. Tins should be rinsed
In lukewarm water and washed with
hot water and soap; then rinsed in
boiling water and summed two or three
hours If possible. Milk should not be
covered tightly; use muslin or cheese
cloth for covers, which keeps the dust
out and let's the air through.
The little pasteboard covers that
come In milk bottles are for that pur-
pose. Milk should be kept in a clean,
cool place; 1t absorbs odors very
quickly.
Milk becomes sour through the &c.
tion of bacteria. Pasteurizing destroys
the disease germs, but 1t does not de-
stroy the spores. Boiling the milk will
kill the spores, but that makes the
milk indigestible for child. There
Is even a question regarding the d.
gestibility Of pasteurized milk. If It is
necessary to pasteurize milk for a
child. a tablespoonful of orange Juice
should be given through the day, this
furnishing an organic acid which is
destroyed in the heating of the milk.
Fill sterile bottles or jars nearly full
of milk, cork them with baked cotton,
place on rings in deep pan and fill
with cold water, so that the water may
be as high outside the bottles as the
milk is inside; put the pan over the
fire and heat until small bubbles show
around the top of the milk (this tenn
perature is about 1856 degrees Fahren-
heit); remove to the back of the fire
and allow the bottles to stand there
fifteen minutes, then reduce the tenn
perature as. quickly as possible, and
when the milk is cold remove the bot
ties from the water and keep in a cold
place. In summer milk should be Pas
teurized twice day for babies.
II child's stomach is acid, lime
water should be used with the milk.
Put piece of unslaked lime the
size Of walnut into an earthen vessel.
Cover 1t with two quarts Of water, stir.
ring It thoroughly; allow 1t to settle,
then pour off the water; add two
quarts Of filtered water, stir, and when
1t settles pour the clear solution into
a bottle. More water may be added

Food for the Fat.

1t Is possible that the actual pro-
portion of overfat people in the gen.
eral population is no greater now
than 1t ever was, but to the observer
who has lived many years it seems as
If the number of persons one meets
who are noticeably overweight had in
creased greatly In recent years.
Some large folk are content with
their lot-nearly all are jolly, yet
there are many who would give much
for every pound they could throw off.
There are number Of dietary sys.
TENS In vogue for reducing weight,
almost all efficacious, II strictly fol.
lowed, but not all safe. The original
"banting system" for example, in
which the person Is restricted to little
more than lean-meat diet, is not to
be recommended, and one who prac-
tices 1t, unless under constant medical
supervision, may do himself irrepara-
BILE harm. No one system, indeed, Is
applicable to all cases, for the cause
Is not always the same, and what may
be suitable for one fat person may
not be at all what another needs.
1t Is popularly believed that all fat
persons are gross feeders, but this is
not true; indeed, the reverse is often
the case. Obesity may be disease,
or rather prominent symptom of one,
the trouble. being with the internal
chemistry Of nutrition-a disease of
metabolism, as 1t is called. It is COM
parable to diabetes-nearly related to
1t, In fact. In this disease sugar is
formed In excess in the sytem, even
when very little Is taken with the
food; and so In obesity there Is a ten
dency to the formation of fat in the
body, even If little fat-forming food
Is eaten. In most cases, however.
much can be done by regulation of
the diet
The amount Of meat should not be
increased, but the quantity Of sugar
and starchy foods should be reduced.
their place being taken by nom
starchy vegetables, such as spinach.
cauliflower and salads. The foods to
be avoided, or taken in great modera-
tion, are those which contain much
starch, such as rice and potatoes. and
all sweets-pies, puddings and candy.
Tea and coffee should be taken with
out sugar, If taken at all, and choco.
late should be omitted entirely.
Bread is fattening but for most
persons 1t seems an indispensable ar
ticle Of diet. Its amount can, however.
be limited, and It should be toasted.
Fats are less harmful than sugar
and starch, and may be allowed in
moderation in the form Of butter and
salad oil.
The belief that the drinking OF
water makes fat is erroneous. II one
eats juicy vegetables, and especially the
less sweet fruits, such as apples and
grapefruit. and abandons the use of
sugar, there will be natural reduc-
tion in the amount Of water taken.
but one should drink all that Is need.
