ITsed Goal Oil: Is Horribly Burned

Homer, La, Oct. 2l.-Nfs. Ira De
Leach was burned almost to death
here Thursday While making an at
tempt to re-light a fire with coal oil.
Her clothing became ignited from
the leaping flames and before it
could be removed she was harribly
burned about the arms and body.
Her screams brought other members
of the family to the kitchen, but
thew were almost powerless to help
her. There is small hope for her re-

district Judge Good Road Manages

Vivian Times: District Judge I. F..
Bell handed out a number of dry
packages in the shape of $3.50 fine
and 80 days on the public roads to
the Illegal wet goods merchants.
Many of these gentry have spent
years in defying the laws of the
State. Several were constantly be-
fere the courts for violation of the
Sunday laws before prohibition
went into effect. They consider the
trade in whiskey sacred calling
and no law would stand between
them in their work of making
drunkards and gathering the hard
earned money of the laborers for
the millionaire brewers of st. Louis
and the whiskey trust. What do they
care whether mems wives and chill
dren go hungry or naked if they can

Pick clean and wash the pigeons
Put them into a pot with a cup Of
water to keep from burning and a
tablespoonful of butter for each one.
Shut the lid down tightly and subject
to a slow heat until they are a nice
brown, about nut color. Once in a
great while turn them and see that
each is well wet with the liquor. Take
them out and cover in a warm place,
a colander set over pot Of hot water
is best, while you make the gravy.
Chop the giblets of the pigeons very
small, with little onion and parsley.
Put into the gravy pepper and salt;
boil up and thicken with Drowned
-four. Return the pigeons to the pot,
cover again tightly and cook slowly
until tender. If there should not be
liquor enough in the pot to make the
gravy add boiling water before the
giblets go in.

Persons whose skins are irritated
In cold weather by the use of soap
should try substituting various clean
sing mixtures which may be put into
the bath water
One mixture which is liked by many
women who possess delicate skins Is
made from one pound of marshmallow
flowers, one-quarter of a pound Of hys-
sop herb and four pounds of bran
-four. The ingredients should be
thoroughly mixed dry, in basin, and
then about two heaping tablespoonfuls
should be put in a bag.
The bags to hold this compound
should be made from cheesecloth.
They need not be filled with the mix
ture, for smaller quantity will be
sufficient to soften the water, and the
mixture, If too much Is used, will be
lost. as a bag can be employed only
twice.
To get the best results the bag
should be in the tub at least half an
hour before the bath. and while bath
ing the little sack should be used as
piece Of soap.
