instructive paper setting forth the ap-
peal of Rev. d. Abeel for constructive
work in Foreign Missions. Mrs. Clara
Davis, an active member of the Mis-
sionary society and Miss G. Striplin,
her daughter, both of whom were Wis
itors, helpfully discussed the paper.
Miss Fannie Edmonds, graduate OF
one of our leading schools. was the
hostess for the Guild. A healthy re-
past was quite an appetizer to the
aftermath of the meeting. The Guild
is under obligations to Miss Ednonds

ary society had their sessions in the
Chapel Friday night, ample arrange
ments were made for their missionary
concert the first Sunday night in

BUTTERMlLK SAUCE THE BEST
Adds to Flavor of Pudding in Far
Greater Degree Than When Sweet
Milk Is Used.

Buttermilk sauce for puddings or
any dessert which lacks an acid, Is
far superior to sauce in which sweet
milk is used. A delicious sauce is
made of cupful of boiling water and
one cupful of sugar, one-half cupful
of good buttermilk and butter the
size of an egg. The same rule ap-
plies to custard with lemon fiavoring.
This is good way to clean bun
or cream -colored window shades: Be-
gin by taking off any trimmings there
may be, washing them in hot soapy
water, then rinsing them in borax wa
ter and pressing them on the wrong
side. Next bake some flour in a dish
In the oven; lay the blind fiat on a
table, dust it with a clean cloth then
dip piece of flannel in the flour and
rub the blind evenly with it. Take
fresh -four and flannel when soiled.
Polish the blind with clean, soft
cloth, sew on the trimmings again
and replace it in the window.

MANY USES FOR GASOLINE
Too Valuable a Household Adjunct to
Be Discarded Because Of
Possible Danger.

A can OF gasoline in the Kitchen for
cleaning purposes will be found a
great help If ordinary care is exer.
cised against fire. To clean the gas
stove, soak the jets in a little gaso.
line, and 1t will remove all dirt and
do away with any odor from the gas
range. or scrub the Jets with a little
brush dipped In gasoline.
To clean copper or aluminium cook
ing utensils soak cloth In gasoline
and rub on the outside of the vessel; /;
this will remove all black or discolor-
alton on the metal.
For grease marks or dirty spots on
woodwork. little gasoline applied
with a cloth will remove at once.
If the drain in the sink becomes
stopped up. remove all water from
sink and pour in a pint or more gaso-
line and let 1t stand; this will cut the
cause of stoppage in little while.
Before blacking a stove or range.
rub off the top with cloth wet with
gasoline and II will remove all dirt
and grease and make the backing
stay on longer.
Laces, gloves and silks can be
cleaned very successfully by washing
In plenty OF clean gasoline; there
should be enough to cover the article
you are washing. Change the gaso-
line as often as 1t becomes dark look
ink; work quickly and hang in the
sun to dry. Always remember when
using gasoline to keep away from fire
or flame of any kind.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK

Circuit Court jury Holds Yuma Wo-

Mind.

The circuit court jury which
heard the evidence by which Bert
BowIes and Mrs. Harriet Baxter OF
Yuma sought to break the will OF
their aunt, Miss Emma Bowles, also
of Yuma, returned its verdict this
morning, and il was against the
plaintiffs Mrs. Ella Bryan, sister
of the deceased, accordingly gets the
bulk of the estate. It was charged
in the complaint that Mrs. Bryan
used undue influence upon her sis

as she did. BY its terms the nephew
and niece get $4,000 each and the
remainder goes to the sister Num-
erous witnesses were brought in by
both sides Of the controversy and
the testimony was very contradic-
tory, some of it tending to show that
Miss Bowles was not in her right
mind at the time she made the will
and the rest indicating she was in
possession of all her faculties.

Copies have just been received at this
office of bulletin from the state agri
cultural experiment station, giving the
results of experiments in growing pota-
toes which have been in progress for sew
eral years. General Bulletin No. "a,
Potato Investigations" by A. G. Craig,
gives the results OF variety tests made in
1905 to 1908, inclusive. The report
shows the varieties which were found to
be best for different purposes, such as
early market tubers; medium maturity,
heavy Welding varieties: heavy yielding,
late varieties; stock-tood varieties, etc.
1t also contains very complete discus
sion of the methods of improving yields
OF potatoes by seed selection. Results
OF the experiments show that it is posi-
BILE to increase the yield of the more
common varieties more than 80 per cent
by careful selection of seed for two sue
cessive years. A brief summary of the
methods of planting, cultivating, har-
vesting and marketing the crop. which
have been found to give best results in
farm practice throughout the state is
included in the bulletin. Copies of the
