ROCKS HELD sAsYs BODY
Two Year Old Boy Was Drowned In
Black River Four Weeks Ago

Springfield, April 25-The two year
old son of Mr. and Mrs Chester
Scales. drowned in the Black River
four weeks ago tomorrow, was found
at FIVE o'clock this afternoon on the
rocks between the gear shaper shop
and the river road. Charles Welding
and daughter saw the body but did
not recognize 1t from the dark coat.
The child was said to have worn a
red coat. Health officer c. W. Locke
was notified and the body was taken
to the undertaking room and identi-
fed by the child's father.
Immediately after the drowning the
river was dragged, dynamted and
dams were drained without result and
all hopes of finding the boy given up.
The body was so swollen and decom-
posed that identification was difficult.
1t probably had remained on the
rocks "a hours.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES
BY Mauds E. calsy.

Dipping the tips OF the fingers in
warm olive oil every night is the best
method for keeping the nails in good
condition.
Raw eggs rubbed into the hair and
scalp before washing are excellent. and
tend to prevent the hair from turning
gray.
To clean rugs. and lay them straight
and bush with a stiff. dry scrubbing
brush. This is much better than
shaking or beating them.
Though it is extravagant the sub
stitution OF cream or milk in the max
ing of pumpkin pie will result in a
most delicate dessert.
In making crnberry jelly or jam,
much less sugar will be required II the
surgar is not added until the fruit
has been wen cooked.
When cooking a spare rib. peel sour
apples, core and cut in half; bake
them with the pork. They will be
found a delicious accompaniment.
A good salve to use for the lips when
they are inclined to crack is composed
of half an ounce Of lanoline and an
equal part of honey or glycerine.
Ivory knife handles that have be-
come yellow from constant washing
may usually be whitened by rubbing
with emery paper and polishing with
