GIRL IS MURDERED
AUTHORITIES ARE CONFRONTED
WITH HlDEous MYSTERY.
Believed Victims End Was Planned
Posse Searches for
Evidence.

Dixon, ILL.,, Oct. with the dis
covery in q ravine Of the body of
I9what had been a remarkably beauti.
full young woman the authorities are
confronted with another hideous mys-
terry. William Meyers and his wife
were gathering nuts in the woods on
the farm of Mat Schorr, four miles
north of this city, and in scraping
aside the leaves beneath a walnut tree
they uncovered the body. Nothing
was found ear the body which would
aid in Identification and every shred
of clothing had been removed.
The victims jugular vein was sew
cred. Physicians say the woman had
been dead about two weeks. She was
about Is years of age, 5 feet Az inches
tall, weight about 40 pounds, with a
wealth of light brown hair and large
brown eyes. The body was taken to
Polo by Sheriff Delaney of Ogle oun
ty, where the coroner's inquest was
held. When found, the body was ly-
ing face downward in a ravine and
was partially jammed under the roots
of a tree.
Although Sheriffs Reid of Lee and
Delaney of Ogle counties, and half a
hundred deputies. have searched every
foot of ground, NJ vestige of clothing
has been found. The only possible
means Of identification are two gold
crowds in the murdered woman's left
upper jaw. 1.
The most plausible theory advanced
by officials is that the dead woman
was a resident of some nearby city,
where she had been reared among re.
fined people, wanted out of the way,
and a Joy ride was planned in an auto
mobile. with her possible death in
view.

that he had spent 5000 O to insure
his election to the United States ser.

Uncle Ike" as Senator Stephenson
is familiary known, is apparently not
worrying about the results of the in.
vestigation. He freely admits spend.
ing the money, but insists that all his
expenditures were we'll within the
limits Of the law. The senator's
friends say that the mere fact of his
complying with the state laws and
publishing the full extent Of his cam.
paign expenses proves his honesty.
Senator Stephenson is one of the rich
est men in the middle west. His for.
tune is estimated at $780, OO, 900, and
he owns n of the finest dairy farms
In the United States. He is over
eighty-two years old, and has been
identified with politics ever since the
accumulation of his fortune. He has
always been noted for his extreme lib.

Before putting the skirts away,
brush them thoroughly, then hang up
by the loops.
Don't hook the back and throw over
a nail The cores will sag making
one look out of shape.
If your pretty waist has net collar
that is soiled. don't put it on for
every day, dirty rs it is, and think
it will do, but get some benzine and
with soft brush scrub the soiled
places until clean. Don't use near a
fire or a light as it is highly inflam
mable.
Remove a spot from garments as
soon as possible, as the dust will
make it look still worse.
There is no reason Why people in
the rural districts can not be as trim
as 'town folks, :" all things considered.
Each place has it's own drawbacks and
dirt. This fact impressed itself upon
me July 4th, when l saw how neat and
we'll dressed the out of town people
we're. Garments were palmer, of
better material and much better made
than a few years ago. AS soon as the
older women see the advantage and
comfort in the shorter skirts, they
will adopt them I'm sure, and before
the rainy season.

Take Good Care of Your
Clothes.

There is more than one advantage
in taking the best possible care OF
ones clothes. Of course the average
person has to consider the expense
when buying, but the question of
making, and also the personal appear
ance of the wearer are important
factors in the case.
The old saying that "a stitch in
time saves nine" is just as true today
as when it was written. A few put in
the lining of the coat sleeve where it
has slipped. its stitches from the con-
slant strain of pulling on and off will
prevent the arms eye from losing its
shape or becoming torn. Keep your
coat on hanger; don't hang it by
the loop at the back of the neck.
You are all familiar with wrinkled
backs and will agree that the wearers
do not look up to date.
Put all heavy waists on hangers,
(You can get them at big stores for as
low as two for five cents). The thin
waists with lace Jokes should be laid
in a drawer, the collar and waist
fastened. Then stuff sleeves and
shoulders with tissue paper.

jelly Making.

To have success with all kinds OF
jelly is an art One has to use little
common sense-a little thought for
every attempt, for good jellies can
not be made by any iron clad rule,
every kind of fruit juice has its own
proportion of acid, and pectin which
is the gelatinizing substance, hence
one should be careful to not use too
much sugar or boil too long.
After the fruit has been slightly
cooked, place in jelly bag and allow
the juice to drip for few hours. Do
not squeeze for that will give you
cloudy jelly. Ii you can not afford
to lose any of the fruit juice, make
the first extraction by itself for special
use. Then remember that the juice
squeezed out will require less sugar
than that dripped out. as it will con-
tain less acid and pectin. Do not try
to make large amount at time. Ii
you do cook parts in separate vessels.
For currants, grapes and goose
berries, use one cup of sugar to one
of juice. For red raspberries and
back berries, three fourths cups of
sugar to one of juice is about right;
this proportion is about right for
apples, crab apples, etc. One cause
of failure is too much sugar. 1t is a
good plan to boil and skim juice be-
fore adding the sugar, then have the
proper amount of sugar hot and dry.
Put the sugar in the oven for while,
but do not let it scorch. A few min
utes boiling will cause the pectin to
set. The hot jelly should be poured
into scalded jelly glasses. DO not
seal until cold. Pour over melted
paraffin. If you are using glasses that
have no tops you can seal with heavy
writing paper. Cut circles little
larger than the top. Cut little Sits
around the edge, lay on top and stick
on with the white of an egg. Put on
several layers of paper and let thor
oughly dry before setting away.

Care Of the Feet.

Very few people are so fortunate as
to have feet that give them no trouble
and particularly during the warmest
season. It's not an uncommon sight
to see people cringing with every step
or wabbling as they walk. The person
who wears a shoe a size or two too
small is not to be pitied and he fools
no one in regard to the size he needs.
Sometimes people suffer from what is
known as a "broken arch" A COM
mon cause of tbs trouble is wearing
too high heels. The weight has to
fall upon the instep instead of the
place intended by nature, and rheu-
matte pains in the feet and legs are
the result. Artificial arches may be
purchased at shoe stores, but be sure
that you need them first. Relief may
be had by rubbing the feet across the
bottom and up on the inner side to
ankle.
For perspiring feet powdered alum
sprinkled into the shoes each morn
ing, foot ease, or talcum powder will
give relief. Soaking the feet in hot,
strong salt water at night will help
lessen the trouble; and above all do
not wear stockings more than two

Is 1t Worth While?

(From the Commoner)
Is it worth while that we jostle a

Bearing his load on the rough road

Is it worth while that we jeer at each

In blackness of heart?-that we war

God pity US all in our pitiful strife
God pity us all as we jostle each other {;
God pardon us all for the triumph we
feel
When fellow goes down; poor, heart

Pierced to the heart words are keener

And miphtier far for woe or for veal.
We're it not we'll, in this brief little

On over the isthmus down into the

We give him fish instead of serpent,
Ere folding the hands to be and abide,
Forever and aye in dust at his side?
Look at the roses saluting each other;
Look at the herds all at peace on the
plain;
Man, and man only, makes war on
his brother,
And dotes in his heart on his peril
and pain,
Shamed by the brutes that go down
on the plain.
Is it worth while that we battle to

Always choose plain ones to match

Of Seattle not long ago said, "Mothers,

neck and having short sleeves, for
that is the type of girl that gives us

Some Borrowed Don'ts.

Don't wear French heeled shoes
with your ordinary clothes. They
are attractive and appropriate with
evening clothes or party clothes when
you are not expected to walk.
....Don't wear colored or open work
stockings with your street shoes.

days at most.

Gays at most.
Enlarged joints. Make up your
mind to wear broader shoe. Its
fashionable anyway to have good sized
feet) and to ease the ache and take
out the inflammation, sponge them off
and rub before retiring. Bandage
evenly and comfortably for the night.
To stop bunions. Put the feet into
hot water for five minutes, then plunge
into cold. Do this two or three times
each night before retiring. Put a
pad of cotton between the second and
great toe to push out the joint before
putting on the stocking. Wear broad
toed shoes.
Corns. Columns can be written on
this subject and people will still have
corns. Large shoes are bad and small
ones are worse and wrinkles in the
lining are more so. Nearly every
person thinks he knows just how to
trim his corns but his effort is usual
ly failure, because he will pare
around the edges. If one will stop to
examine a corn he will find the hurt
is worse upon pressing the little, hard
spot known as the core, which bores
down until it reaches the membrane
covering the bone, causing great pain
and Inflammation in surrounding It's
sues. But give the following fair
trial and you will bless the day you
subscribed for The Ranch:
Soak the feet in warm water and
moisten corn with alcohol. Scald the
knife with hot water to sterilize 1t
(there is great danger of blood poison
if one cuts the f1esh); first pare off
all the hard flesh possible then attack
the core, chipping out little pieces
as long as you can get them without
cutting the flesh. You will be sur
prised at the little holes. Large
corns sometimes have two or even
three cores. People neglect to take
out the cores which are the real source
of the suffering. Corns have been
cured by simply taking out the cores
without touching the outside. Dry
and rub on collodion which takes out
soreness and forms sort of skin like
covering Some people like to put a
pad over, or a roll of cotton between
the toe if located there. If you have
had corns long while, don't get i'm
patient because this treatment does
not cure them in week or two. You
will be convinced in due time.
