TARIFF BOARD MAY DISMISS BURTON Is Not Gathering Impartial
 Facts PLAN IS ABANDONED The Lorimer Investigation Committee Keeps Away From Chicago to Prevent Trial of Perjury
 Cases There
PLAN IS ABANDONED
By WALTER HARPER

Washington, duly 2-(Special)-G. W. Burton, special agent for the tar if board, employed to gather exact inn partial information for the use of the board in the United States and Flu rope and who is now in Europe, may have to walk back home across the Atlantic without a job.
 While he is employed by the board formation of the President and the board, he is very active in ultra stand pat tariff agitation. He is an old news paper man, who had been employed on the Los Angeles Times.
 He is firing back column after col umn for that newspaper in which he rIdicules the idea of tariff revision Of any kind in no certain terms. Pro gressive republicans of California have forwarded a large bundle of these clip pings to Senator Works and they are receiving due attention at the capitol. It is probable that some action will be taken in reference to the exact and impartial informatio that is be- ing gathered by MT Burton.
 An interesting reason has developed for the abandonment of the Lorimer in-
 
 tinue further hearing of the testi- mony in this case in Chicago. It had been the intention of the committee at the close of it's session yesterday to go to Chicago for the taking of fur ther testimony.
 If there are to be prosecutions on perjury charges after the committee has concluded its work and it is now very probable that there will be. the members of the committee want these cases tried before a court in the Dis trict Of Columbia, and not at Chicago. Perjury charges have already been brought and tried in this case before Chicago courts and convictions failed. The committee does not seem to care to submit further case of the kind in that city. It Is felt that better re- suits can be secured in the district fed- eral courts
 The committee adjourned yesterday to meet again July 15 in Washington.

LADY TAXES HER
 LIFE WITH PISTOL
Mrs. Anna Randolph Found Dead in Her Room at
 Boarding House

Mrs. Anna Randolph, the wife of Jack Randolph. a travelling man, committed suicide yesterday afternoon at about 5:S0 by shooting herself with a S2 Smith & wesson revolver at boarding house at 520 North Twentieth street.
 Although the woman shot herself about 5:90 it was not learned that she had committed the deed until about o'clock. No one was in the house when the tragedy occurred, but several returned about o'clock. When dinner was about ready to be served it was suggested that someone should summon Mrs. Randolph. knock at the door was not answered and the door was unlocked. Someone entered the room and Mrs. Randolph was discovered dead, lying on the bed in a large pool of blood, with a pistol tightly gripped in her hand.
 The coroner arrived within a short time after being notified and was accom- panied by the city physician. After the circumstances of the case were explained and following thorough investigation the coroner announced that the deed was suicide. After the inquest the coroner consigned the body to Johns Undertaking company for funeral preparations. | The deceased was tall brunette of ap- lparently 50 years with dark complexion. No note of explanation as to why she had committed the decd was left, out it is thought that i'll health was the motive. It is stated that the woman had been in bad health for the last few months and that she had been very melancholy The coroner states that no inquest will be held as it is clearly seen that the deed was suicide. No one knew just where her husband and relatives are and so no one can be notified of the rash act but the body will be held at the under takers.

LISTS CLOSED IN

No Opposition Now for Earl Brewer for Governor or
 Superintendent Powers

Jackson, Miss, July 2.-(Special.)-L. V. Austin, a prominent business man of Hat tiesburg, has announced as a candidate for trustee of the penitentiary for the Southern district of Mississippi, in oppo- sition' to c. c. Smith, the present incum- bent.
 The understanding here is that MT. Aus tiI is running as an anti-Vardaman can didate, MT. Smith being a rantankerous Vardamanite, and having been largely instrumental in bringing out Jake Ehr- man of Jackson as a candidate against Col. W. A. Montgomery of Edwards, in the middle district.
 The people of south Mississippi urge in MT. Austins favor that their section of the state has no representation on the board and little in any state office, and while he is rather late in beginning a campagn he can get over a great deal of date of the first primary, and if south Mississippi but stands by him MT. Smith will appreciate the fact that he has beer in race.

SOYER'S EXPERIMENTS IN
PAPER BAG COOKERY is
CREATING FURORE ABROAD
By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

Through long years of experimentation
NJ Nicolas Soyer, chef Of Brooks Club,
London, has perfected q system Of paper
bag cookery, that promises to revolu-
tionize cookery, and that Is undoubted-
ly enjoying immen: popularity. in Great
Britain and the colonies, at present.
NJ. Soyer has prepared book Of rec
ipes that may be successfully cooked
without a utensil of any kind; every
possible table delicacy without any af-
termath of pots and pans.
The book contains an introduction by
Marion Harland's daughter, Mrs. Vir-
ginia Terhune Van de Water Refer
ring to paper-bag cookery she says:
When this meth~I is understood, 1t
will be eagerly adopted by housewives
simple that it can be easily learned
by the veriest typo in the culinary art"
Early Obstacles Overcome.
In an introduction to his book of rec
ipes, NJ Soyer writes an interesting ac-
count of his experimenting in cooking
articles Of food wrapped in paper, meet
ing always an obstacle, which was that
everything SO cooked tasted of the paper.
Realizing that tremendous advantage
the perfection Of :'ch a system would
have, if he could perfect it, he set about
the matter in grim earnest, and now
that the secret of his first troubles has
been discovered, and difficulties over
come, his method has become a boon to
rich and poor alike.
The advantages of cooking in paper
bags attested by thousands, who have
tried the method, are:
First-1t makes every dish more saw
ory and nutritious.
Second-It is economical: the food
weighing practically the same when
drawn from, as when put in the oven.
Third-1t is labor saving, no cleaning
of pots and pans.
Fourth-It is hygienic; no germ haunt
ed cooking utensils.
Fifth-No smell of cooking-the Jag is
sealed with a clip.
Everything except soup, omelette,
scrambled eggs, Scotch kale, beans, cab

rechauffes, breakfast dishes, the bag and

bachelor maids), and a weeks dinner
for the working man, M Soyer. a fam
Gus culinary artist, brings together his
own choice and tested recipes, all of
which can be prepared. inserted into a
paper bag and cooked in any oven to a
turn, with all the advantages already
described.
The English press has given pages
upon pages to praise of NJ. Soyer's work
and its resultant benefits to housekeep-
ers and chefs all over the world.
At the end of the book of recipes is
a paper on paper-bag cooking from the
epicurean standpoint by the well-known
authority in culinary matters Mr..
George r. Sims. while DR.. Charles
Reinhardt has. furnished an article on
its hygienic advantages.
Special Bags Are Used.
OF course, specially prepared bags are
used, which are made for the purpose
The simple little process of butterfng
them on the inside before. slipping in the
food to be cooked, prevents any food
from tasting of the paper.
The bag is odorIess and is made Of
pure materials
After the food prepared to be cooked
is slipped into it it is closed Theoretically
and fastened with a strong wire paper
clip.
The introduction to NJ. Soyer's book
gives full directions for the pursuance
of his method, and furnishes a time
table for cooking all articles of food.
OF the method the London Daily
Chronicle writes:
The broad fact is that the system is
a success. Where instructions are fol-
lowed the new process will justify all
that is claimed for it. Paper-bag cook
cry has caught the imagination of the
public in quite an amazing way all over
the country, and will install its new
and simpler method in thousands of
kitchens. The evolution of a scientific
cuisine has demonstrated its soundness."

THERE is NO EXCUSE FOR
UGLY, FADED, UNTIDY WOMEN
By ELLA WHEELER wILCo.

Why, then. does she so frequently '1et
herself CO." to use the prevailing phrase.
after marriage, and cease to care about
her personal appearance?
She may answer that after she be-
came mother she had no time to think
aoout herself.
Her First Duty.
Her first duty she found to be in the
care of her children. But the first duty
life holds for any human being is to
make the utmost of the spiritual, mental,
physical self; for that permits a higher
performance of all duties to others.
The wife and mother who shows her
desire to be attractive in person, to be
neat, orderly, and in touch with the
modes of the day in her attire, pays a
compliment to both husband and chill
dren-a compliment which will bring a
better reward than obliteration of her
on the altar of motherhood.
The mother who sacrifices everything
for her children makes a poor invest
ment for herself and for them.
The old-fashioned, ill-dressed and faded
mother of the fashionable young woman
is a pitiful object; and the daughters
and sons of such a mother rarely make
good wives or husbands. They have been
reared to be selfish; to expect others
to make sacrifices for them; and they
are lily prepared to do their share of
life's exacting duties which come with
marriage.
If you are a young or a middle-aged
wife and mother go to your room to-
day and take an inventory of your
physical attractions and Of your ward
robe.
Recall yourself as you looked when
you first married, and then set to work
to rebuild yourself.
Just as your wardrobe, no doubt, con-
tains materials enough to be made over
into modish and becoming garments, with
a little time, thought, and effort so
your body can be remade If you are
willing to work for results.
Physical culture will cause miracles to
take place, If it is properly and per-
sistently employed as a means to a GER
tain end. In a months time, ten min
utes given to bodily and facial exercises
will show unmistakable results; and in
a years practice the whole personality
will be rejuvenated and beautif1ed.
With these exercises the mind must
work. There must be a realization Of

the power of thought to make or mar
the body; to render it ugly or beauti-
ful. But with this realization there must
be regular exercise along the lines of
physical culture; a proper care and
nourishing of the skin, right breathing,
right attitudes, right bathing
All these things take time, to be sure,
but the time spent by all fading women
in gloomy thoughts and discomfort would
make them beautiful, well, and strong If
used in these common-sense methods of
preservation and repair
No woman is advised to be vain, to
be extravagant, or to be fooling in her
efforts to please the eye.
Make Yourself Attractive.
But every woman is urged to study the
art of self development, to think about
her personality and her attire, and to
make herself as attractive as possible by
expressing health, cleanliness. becoming
ness. happiness, and goodness IN her
appearance.
