CUT THE GROCERY BILL.

Prices are high, but wouldn't you
like to keep your grocery bin some
what as 1t used to be? Economy and
thoughtfulness are necessary.
One Of the faults now is the buying
In five and ten cent lots. 1t is far
cheaper to buy foods that will keep
in larger quantities. Buy sack of
sugar or a box Of crackers. Starch,
dried fruit, raisins. and tapioca are
some other things to buy in large
quantities. The prices are less for
a pound and you can get reduced
prices on large orders.
Another thing to see about is to
wetch the markets and buy fresh
fruits and vegetables In season, then
can them yourself. You save about
80 per cent II you don't wait and
buy the canned goods at the store.
For instance, II you buy a glass Of
pure fruit put up In sugar It viii
be rs cents for about a eupful. II
you buy the fruit. as plums. you
pey 81 for a crate. use so cents
worth of sugar, and have either 10
or 10 quarts Of canned fruit.
Here are some other hints on saw
ing: Wash the eggs. then use the
shells to settle coffe and clear the
soup or bouillon. Use fats, such as
cottolene and eottosuet, or oils for
cooking. instead Of better. Some
persons prefer q mixture OF Is but
tsr, 90 fat. saying the butter re-
moves the gressy taste Of pure fat.
Use che tops and butts Of celery,
which can not be sent to the table.

GERMAN WOMEN TO Be NURSES
suffrasettes Seek Army Places
Where They May Help Care
for the Wounded.

Berlin, Dec. 26-The German suffra'
Eette does not care to hold office, as
do some women in the United States
or to smash windows as they do IN
England. She wants to be a soldier
in the army of the kaiser.
It was at the congress OF the
Patriotic Women's association OF the
Lover Rhine district, held In Berlin,
that the suffragettes showed their
desire to share the duties incumbent
upon men citizens.
The German woman, as represented
by the Patriotic Women's association,
merely wants to be an auxiliary. she
desires to be allowed to oversee
the transportation work, the handling
of food supplies and clothing and the
sanitary service, particularly the care
Of the wounded. Nothing Is specified
as to the uniform the suffragettes
would wear.

SCANLAN' DRIVER

Last Man Known to Have Seen
Missing Banker Alive.
OTHER ARRESTS EXPECTED SOON
Friends Of Newburg Man Still Search
for Body-Man With Him Told
Too Many Conflicting
Stories.

Newburg, Mo-, Dec. 26.-New
searching parties are dragging Piney
and Gasconade rivers to see If they
could find the body of John W.
Seaman. president Of the Newburs
State bank, who disappeared last
week after a visit to his farm on the
Gasconade, ten miles north Of New
burg. 1t is believed Mr.. Seaman be
came lost in the woods and was
killed for money. He Is known to
have carried large amounts OF cash
often.
Probably the last person who saw
Seaman alive-if he is dead-is his
driver, John Lochmiller, who made
the trip to the farm with him. The
sheriff of Phelps county, Joseph VIII
son, arrested Lochmiller because he
told several different stories regard
ing the drive on which he accom-
panied Seaman the day Of the dis
appearance. He was taken to the
Jail at Rolla. 1t is understood that
other arrests will follow. Jamei
Walsh, assistant chief Of police Of
Springfield, Mo-, who is brother-in
law of Seaman, has been in Newburs
all day working on the case.
Seaman was in very weakened
physical condition when he left New
burg Tuesday morning in company
with Lochmiller, who had been In
Scanlan's employ for many years, to
drive to his farm. He saw and talked
with his tenants, and started TO re
turn to Newburg at about O'Clock
in the afternoon. The driver had
been drinking, and they lost theiI
way, but Lochmiller arrived there In
a stupid condition at about $3.50
o'clock at night. He made no report
Of having left Seaman anywhere
Wednesday morning, together with
Isaac Towel, Scanlan's foreman al
Newburg, he went back to Scanlans
farm to get Seaman and on falling
to find him about 5 o'clock they called
up Newburg on the telephone and In
uuired II Seaman had reached there
and upon being informed that he was
not there, Lochmiller then told Of the
experiences Of the night before and
Of Scanlan's disappearance.

TOOK POISON TO
ESCAPE ARREST
Police We're Searching for Wichita
Wife Murderer.
ASKED DAUGHTER FOR MONEY
Dog Led OFFICERS to Field Who're
Wright Was Found-Second
Similar Crime Within
Ten Days.

~ Wichita, Kan, Dec. 26.-Followinl
the killing of his wife Saturday
night, John w. Wright, a hotel keep
er, so years old, walked to Valley
Center, near where his daughter
Mrs. Maggie Creason, lived and com
mited suicide by taking strychnine.
Wright telephoned his daughter
that he wanted her and her husband
to meet him near the bridge over
the Little Arkansas river, a lonely
spot half mile from their farm, but
she had heard that he had killed her
stepmother and refused to go or to
let her husband do so. She notified
the Wichita police that her father
was on his way to Valley Center and
they, ending an all night vigil in
quest Of Wright, hurried to the village
II miles north.
Wright went to his daughters
home when he did not ind her at the
bridge and asked for money and a
basin in which to wash. He was de-
MED the money. He gave his daugh-
ter a ring and left, saying he was
going to Colorado. Within 30 minutes
the police arrived.
The Creason dog, because 1t kept
running from the home to field and
back, was followed by the police. The
animal led the way to field, where
Wright was found in a dying condi-
ton. The slayer had swallowed
strychnine and whisky. He was un-
able to speak.
Wright was so years old and his
wife 81. He gave her severe beat
ing three weeks ago In her home, d.
rectly across from the tabernacle
where Billy Sunday was holding re-
vival services, q number of ministers
going to her aid at that time. Mrs.
Wright had her husband sent to jail
for ten days. She sued for alimony
and had him restrained from visiting
her. Wright was jealous. He re-
turned from Colorado, where he went
after being released from jail, and
went to his wife's home Saturday
night and killed her.
Wright formerly operated q room
ing house here. His is the second
wife murder and suicide here within
ten days. Albert R. Eakins, a wealthy
retired farmer from Medicine Lodge
shot and killed his wife and himself
q week ago. He, too. was jealous
