HELEN KELLER S VICTORY

Last week every practicing physician
in the state of New York received
free of charge from the state Board
of Health q tiny tin tube contain
ing the aseptic silver solution which
the highest authorities had decid-
ed was the thing to prevent the in
flammation of the eyes of newly born
babies, which so commonly results in
blindness. This distribution is begun
as the result of n long campaign
initiated and directed by Helen Kel-
Ter the deaf and blind woman, who
achieved such remarkable mental
development and who is devoting her
life to the defective classes.

The escape from the penitentiary,
early Wednesday OF Fred Conners,
safe cracker, OF Springeld, and Will

aroused the interest of the governor.
He is on the trail to SEQ If there

capes.
Warden Jones came to sec him
Wednesday evening and they went
over the matter at some length. The
governor and Jones are the best of
friends and the governor has the ut

management.
The blame for the escape has been
laid at the door OF the wall guards.

Governor Harmon said that the mat
ter of placing any blame for the es-
cape of the convicts would rest entire
~ with Warden Jones-repeating that
he himself had visited the place to
get a better understanding of the
situation.
However, 1t is the understanding
in circles close to the governor that
there will be cleaning out at the
penitentiary of all employees even re-
motely responsible for the escape.
Even though the governor has not
ordered such a move his unusual in
terest in the case furnishes the neces-
sary inspiration for such action on
the part of Warden Jones.

splitting a five dollar bill with a

promising him the other piece when
you leave if we'll served is a poor
game" said a veteran waiter in one
of New York's biggest hotels.
"a man tried it on me once, and 1t
made me sore. l took pains to serve
him poorly, showing that I did not
care for his money. I was so careless
that when he was leaving he refused
me the other half. 1 had him sized
up for cheap skate, so 1 pointed out
to him that the piece he had was no
good to him as it was and offered tc
buy it from him for So. He thought
deeply a minute and declined. The1
I offered to sell my half for So. Some
how or other this appealed to him,
and he bought it and seemed happy.
I'll bet he hasn't stopped figuring out
yet whether he won or lost. One

peror Chinnong so far back in the past
as $500 B. c. the rice had to be sown
only by the emperor himself, while the
four other plants of the ceremony
might be sown by the princes of his
family. In India rice has been cult
waited from time immemorial. It was
introduced at an early period into
Syria, Egypt and other parts of north
ern Africa. In more modern times rice
mas been sown in Spain, France and
Italy, the first cultivation in the last

been near Pisa in 1865 The plant is

America in 1647, when Sir William

Chicken Shortcake,

Here is good way to convert the
remnants of chicken stew or fricas-
see into tempting and savory dish
Free the chicken from skin and bones
and cut into small slivers. Put the
meat on to heat in enough gravy to
make 1t quite moist. Sift two teaspoon
fuls Of baking powder and one-half
teaspoonful of salt with one pint of
flour. Rub one teaspoonful of lard and
butter into the flour, then stir in three
quarters of cup of milk. Stir the
dough into small ball and roll into a
cake about an inch thick. Bake in a
quick oven about fifteen minutes.
When done open the edge with knife
and tear the cake in two. After
spreading the hot chicken on the lower
half replace the upper half. Over the
whole pour generous amount of hot
chicken gravy and serve at once.

verge of crisis and Russian states
men were most anxious to know what
England would do under given circum-

denly at ball and said:
Il hear that the Russians have made
a forced march and entered Constants

would be surprised into some indis-
Greet expression.
He merely replied:
Indeed! And l suppose the sultan

The rumor was started that Knut

the Eskimos who accompanied Peary
and Cook. But he has stated to a

the earliest mail connections next

from the Eskimos on that subject.
