Frank Burns Who Left Here
With Gypsies Twenty Years
Ago, Seeks Parents
WINS FORTUNE ON The PLAINS

Frank Burns now a resident of Ari-
IONA, but twenty years ago resident
of Kenosha, made his first visit to the
city in two decades on Monday when
he came seeking TO find some trace of
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Burns,
who were living here twenty years ago.
Burns told his former associates ro-
mantle story. He stated that when he
was small boy his parents resided
picked up by a tribe o. gypsies and
picked up by a tribe of gypsies and
This was twenty years ago and Monday
was the first time that Burns had been
able to make his way back to the city.
He went with the gypsies willingly as
he had read and heard the story of the
life Of the plains and the cattle ranch
and it was his ambition to get into the
life Of the ranch. Riding in a gypsy
wagon for more than year he went
with the tribe from Kenosha to Ari-
IONA and there he slipped away in the
night and found employment on a
ranch. He chen began to learn the life
of a cowboy and as a boy he became
a favorite with the rough men on the
Arizona ranches. Long before he had
attained his majority he had herd
of cattle of his own and he now has
q competency.
Burns shortly after he reached Ari
iona wrote a letter to his parents, but
it failed Of delivery and since that
time he had not been able to get any
word Of them. When he reached Ke-
nosha Monday he sought some of his
old neighbors, but the prairie home in
which he had lived as a boy had given
away to the advance of the city and
not one of the old timers could be
found. From round about way he
learned that some twenty years ago
shortly after his mysterious disappear
ance from Kenosha his father and
mother had removed to the northern
part Of the state and he left Kenosha
for Marinette hoping to be able to To-
cate them in that city.
1t is declared that Burns is now one
of the wealthy men of Arizona and he
admitted that he had gained a com
potency from "eow punching" in the
west and that he was planning to find
his parents and make their last days
more agreeble. It is probable that
some of the old timers on the prairie
will remember Burns, but he left Ke-
nosha Disguised at not being able to
locate any of the old landmarks or
the old playmates.

ORGANIZE NEVER AGAIN. CLUB
Women Were Fleeced Out of a Dollar
Each for Inspired" System of
Curing the Various Ailments Flesh
is Heir to.

There are a score of women living
out in the western part of the city and
some of them are prominent in the af-
fairs of the city-wbo are giving the
never again sign just as they meet on
the street and they have formed a
secret combine to annihilate any one
that strikes that end of the town with
any panacea for all ailments in the
future. The Juror among the women
is all the work of a clever woman in
that section of the town and the women
are now seeking to discover just how
much swag the woman got away with
Her game was a novelty and one which
appealed especially to the women. The
woman failed to leave her address or
to leave card where she could be
found by others who might seek to get
in on the good thing and it looks very
probable that she has long since found
greener fields and pastures new. She
struck Kenosha a week ago, was well
dresses and mighty good to look upon.
She began work a good ways from the
police office and from the list of vic
Tins she got money enough in one ter
ritory of the city to make it unneces
sary to come into the down town dis
tricts to round out the day s work.
The woman claimed to have panacea
for all ailments of women from a wart
on the index finger to the most serious
attack of govt and rheumatism. She
was mysterious in her movements and
limited that the cure-all was her es-
pecial Gift with possible inspiration
back of it. The lure was a good one
and when the woman of the house had
given up the dollar charged for a
revelation Of the system the woman be-
came even the more mysterious and
turning her face "toward the rising"
as she put it she rubbed the palms
of her hands together three times. She
then pocketed the warm dollar and left
for the next house.
The game proved good and the
women when they had been let in on
the secret were slow enough to reveal
it and this made the workings of the
"inspired one'' lot easier. A few
days after one of the women was
standing in the back yard facing the
rising sun and rubbing her hands to-
gether vigorously when she happened
to look down the line and saw half
dozen other women all facing the hot
Summer sun and rubbing just as
vigorously. 1t did not take long for
the women to get together for council
Of war and when they found how they
had been sold they were sworn to
secrecy, but the game was too good and
within short time the facts in the
case leaked out. Already more than
twenty women have been found who
bought the 'Isystem' and doubtless
there are numbers of other victims who
are suffering in silence.s However, the
"Never Again Club is getting re-
cruits every day from the long list of
women who were taken in by the
smoother member Of their own sex.

By action of the tea board all teas
shipped for importation into this coun-
try after May 1, 1911, must be free
from artificial color In view of this
ruling this department will take no ac-
ton on teas which are at present in this
country or are shipped to this country
previous to May 1, 1911, because of the
presence of artificial color or facing -
The present status of colored teas
may be summarized as follows: First,
they do not have to be labeled,
treasury order to the contrary having
been rescinded. Second, teas shipped
from abroad after May 1 will not be
allowed entry if they contain any arti-
fetal coloring matter at all. Third, mer-
chants may engage in interstate COM
merce in colored teas under the sane
ton of the agricultural department
Fourth, excessive coloring matter of
teas may be removed by importers, thus
saving them the expense incident to the
expectation of rejected goods
The only factor in the situation that
remains uncertain is the diverse rulings
that may be made on colored teas by
the food authorities of the various
states. Some may require labelling and
others may absolutely forbid its sale
but it is generally believed that the
tea trade will not be subjected to any
trouble by state boards.

IN THE WINTER DAYS
SUBSTITUTES FOR GREEN VEGE
TABLES OF SUMMER.
Stuffed Onion One of the Best That
Can Be RecaIled-Varied Methods
of Serving the Always Accept
able Potato.

The days are here when the aver
age housewife who must cater Tor her
self is put upon her mettle as mar
keter Gone for the most part are the
tender peas, beans and tomatoes that
made the summer bill of fare so easy
to plan. Sweet corn is no more, and
the shrinkage in possibilities seems
general.
Onions we have always with us,
however, and they are excellent IL
other ways besides plain boiled or
fried, as they commonly figure in the
household plan. For instance, they
can be stuffed, the sweet Bermuda
onions being specially good for the
purpose. Here is one popular formula.
Large specimens are selected and
boiled until nearly tender but not
quite so. The inside is taken out,
leaving just a shell. Mince the part
taken out with three cooked sausages,
hard-boiled egg, two tablespoonful
of bread crumbs, seasoning as liked
an ounce of butter four drops of ia
| basco and a little minced parsley. The
shells are filled with this mixture,
cracker crumbs scattered over the top,
tiny bit of thin bacon is put on each,
after which they are baked 80 min
utes, or until agreeably soft.
Potatoes, the dependable, will figure
henceforward more than they
have done during the past
months of abundance. They have
| the culinary virtue of being in
finitely variable For instance, when
boiled and baked and fried, they have
become a little wearisome and the
homely tubers are no longer young
enough to carry a sauce gracefully
try them baked with eggs For mod
crate sized dish in this style you will
need four cold-boiled potatoes and six
hard boiled eggs, all cut in slices about
a fourth of an inch thick.

Hoine-Msde Cheese From euttermIIk

To make simple, homemade
cream cheese from buttermilk, put
several gallons of buttermilk into a
kettle or boiler over the fire and heat
slowly till it curdles, but do not let it
get warmer than the hands can bear
if placed in it. When ready, remove
from the fire and set on the back of
the stove till the curd separates from
the whey. Then strain through a
sieve or cheese cloth. Work the curd
fine with the hands, sailing it a lit
tie. then add gradually enough heavy
cream to blend with it to the proper
consistency, mixing it in very thor.

Profits in Salt Fish.

There is considerable to be said with
reference to the way stocks are ordi-
narily handled by the average retail
grocer. believe that while sailed fish
are a semi-perishable product, they are
other commodity the retail grocer han
dies. TO get the best results they
should be given considerable attention
to see that they are well covered with
brine at all times and that the pack
ages are in such shape that the brine
or pickle will not leak off, says w. II.
Mccormick in Modern Grocer.
One common error the average mer
chant makes is when he finds the brine
off of his fish is to put on some salt and
afterwards add some fresh water This
of itself will spoil fish as quickly as
anything that can be done. The brine
should always be made by stirring salt
and water in a separate receptacle so
that the solution will hold up an Irish
potato or an egg. Keeping the fish COW
cred with this solution will insure their
remaining sweet and salable for long
period.
Salt fish must be kept out of the sun.
as being allowed to set in the hot sun
without protection is another cause that
rapidly deteriorates good fish. L be
lieve there ism any cheaper article OF
good food than good salt fish and there
ism t any article that is given as little
attention by the average retail grocer
as is given his fish, whereas a little
time and attention spent on them would
greatly increase his sales and profit.
