BITNER AIDED ADAMS;

There were two stories in The

together. one was OF the escaping
OF Convict Adams. who was aided by
ex-Convict S. II. Bitner, the latter
hiring a team OF Yannke, which he
failed TO return. The other was a
brief mention OF horse caught by
S. Il. HOLMAN day before yesterday

Investigation this morning shows that
the horse caught by Kollman was the
one hired by Bitner OF Mr.. Yannke.
IL seems that Bitner, as suspected,
went to the School for the Feeble
Minded and picked up Adams. Which
direction they went Is unknown. but
IL II probable that Bitner did not
want 10 face a charge OF horse steal
ing, so after getting a good start he
evidently headed the horse for home
and turned II loose. Nothing has yet
been heard of either Bitner or Ad-
ans. but that they will be picked up

1.-THE way, consequently hurried call for
soothing ointment.
The best way to relieve the pain is to
make a lotion out of inseed oil and lime
water-one-third limewater to two-thirds
oil. If these ingredients are not handy
put molasses on the sore spot. This is
also good remedy.
A very disagreeable trouble which can
be doctored at home is asthma. Not only
is it painful to those who suffer from it
but it is very hard on other people to have
to listen to the heavy breathing of the
invalid, particularly at night, when the
malady is at its worst
To relieve this take a piece of plotting
or tissue paper and place in a strong
mixture of water and saltpetre. After it
has absorbed the liquid dry it and burn
it in the bedroom before the patient re-
tires. This will prove great help.
Often a deep knife cut is very hard
thing to administer to, because the sight
of so much blood unnerves one.
To stop the flow of blood bind the cut
with cobwebs and brown sugar.
A great many people will say this is
an impossible receipt to follow, for no
good housewife will allow cobwebs around.
In any case the dust Of tea does equally
as we'll. When the blood ceases to flow

it with great frequency as she passes
along the street by. gazing in the huge
mirrors so commonly found as a back
ground of shop windows. They are per-
feet rehectors these mirrors-in fact, that
is their reason for being where they are.
and the peacock girls have been quick to
find out their advantages and apply them
to themselves. When you see these girls
going along the streets gazing into all
the shop windows with an intent air, it
is not the goods displayed there that they
are looking at, but at themselves.
Young girls have not the excuse that
their elders have for feeling that their
hair may be blown and a bit disorderly.
for girls wear their hair in loose, fluffy
way that admits of stray locks. 1t is not
good form for young girls to wear wells.
and neither is it permissible for them to
indulge in nets for the hair until the year
before they are to be introduced to So
clety, when, as they are regarded by
Mrs. Grundy as almost grown up, she
countenances their taking on some young
lady-ish ways.
Even at that important time, when they
are emerging into young ladyhood, their
social mentor does not allow them to take
up the practice of powder or paint or the
lip salve, which some of their elders in
dulge in. Even if such artifciality were
not reprehensible from a moral stand
point, it would be condemned from the
viewpoint Of looks alone, for the average
young girl has a glowing, fresh skin, too
attractive in its natural state to be i'm
proved by artificial touches.
Some girls who have had the bad ex-
ample of seeing their elders use powder
have a wild desire to do likewise, and
when they are coming on to the young
lady age they possess themselves of a
powder puff and apparently get some
what the same excitement out of using
it that boys do when they smoke their
first cigarettes. But the polite world does
not approve Of powdered girls or Of any
sort of artificial girls, and if in defiance
Of good form you insist on being one you
are regarded by society as beyond the
pale.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1909-01-17

Y ANITY, which is a most abhorrent
v quality in any one, is greatly to be
deplored in young girls, large part
of whose charm lies in the fact that they
are generally without self-consciOusness.
And Mrs. Grundy, the arbiter Of the
social world, is very severe on the girl
whose conceit is strong and so obvious
that it seems to be running away with
her.
One of the most ill-mannered forms
that girlish vanity takes in public is the
propensity for gazing in mirrors. There
is, alas! type of girl who so resembles
the peacock that she cannot seem to re-
frain from preening her feathers on every
possible occasion. At home while max
ing her toilet for the street she spends an
inordinate amount of time before the
glass, but this apparently does not satisfy
her, for one sees her running up to the
mirrors in the hotels, the shops and other
such places to 'prink," which she does
with as much complacency as if she were
in the privacy of her home.
The onlooker, observing girls behaving
in this manner, puts them down at once
as belonging to the class who are ignorant
lof the rules of polite society, one Of the
most stringent of which is that one must
not make ones self conspicuous in any
way in public places. And the Onlooker
is inclined to feel very sorry for these
girls, as ignorance in any form is state
much tOsbe Ditipd
There is another type of peacock girl
who gazes in public mirrors, not to see if
anything about her is awry but solely
for the purpose of admiring herself. Ap-
parently she never tires of this Occupa-
ton, and she may do it openly if she is
a bold girl, or she will do it covertly if
she has some delicacy, but the point is
that she does it, and is everlastingly
doing it. She studies her full face, she
studies her profile, when a triple mirror
gives her the opportunity, and when she
passes a long mirror she admires herself
prodigiously, full length.
This altogether view is a very popular
one with this sort of girl, and she gets

HERE are tricks in all trades, and
the trick of cutting bread perfectly
for sandwiches does not lie merely,
as some think, in having a sharp knife,
but in knowing how to properly execute
certain preliminaries to get the bread in
shape for actual slicing The inexper-
fenced say that they cannot make sand
witches Of fresh bread because it goes
all to pieces in the cutting. but the skill
full person knows that only fresh bread
should be used and that it is simple
matter when once the way to handle it
is understood. Take a fresh loaf, turn
it on end and delicately pare off in sec
tons the upper crust. Then remove the
under crust by cutting it down firmly in
one piece, but do not take off the side
crusts, for they are needed to support
the loaf. Now, as you begin to cut, hold
on to the loaf by pinching it at the top
as close as you can without breaking
the texture of the bread. and cut while
you PINCH so that the knife goes through
a narrowed slice that widens out to its
proper proportions as it drops to the
board. This method enables you to get
beautiful thin slices, the sides of which
you trim later after they have been
buttered.
