Deserted Wife and Mother Found
In Deplorable Condition.

The most extreme case of poverty
and neglect in the history of Delaware
was discovered by local officers Sunday,
when Mrs. Howard Maharty was found
helpless in bed in small four-room
house at Thompson's Station, about three
miles from Newark, in what is apparent
ly the last stages of tuberculosis. She
had been without food for three days.
Her husband and I2-year-old daughter,
Anna. had deserted her, and when the
officers arrived two sons, nine and 10
years old, were making their morning
meal on raw field corn and green apples.
They had taken no other food for several
days. Lying on the floor near Mrs.
Matharty's bed was her two-year-old
baby. which, because of her weak condi-
ton, she could not reach. Both she and
the child were in filthy condition for
lack of attention.
Attention was attracted to the family
Saturday night. when one of the boys
walked TO Newark with note that his
mother had managed to write. Officer
Shellender got the note. The officer went
to the house and found the conditions as
described. Mrs. Maharty stated that her
daughter, whom she wanted SO much to
see, left a week ago, and she thought she
went to a cannery at Elkton, to try and
find work. Her husband. she said, had
been discharged from farm where he
had been working and left her last Tues
day. Since that time she had remained
in the house without any help p-but her
two little boys. The case. has been re-
ported to the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children in Whining ton.
Meantime the family will be cared for by
local parties.

CARE IN HANDLING APPLES
Few People Appreciate Importance Of
Preventing Bruises While Pick.
Ing or Packing.
(By s. VAN sMITH.)


Few people realize the Importance
OF handling apples with care while
picking, packing and marketing. APP
pies are bruised very easily, and es-
pecially those varieties having ten
der flesh or skin. Bruises mean not
only an unattractive appearance, but
real waste of fruit by having to
cut out the bruised tissue. Probably
the greatest damage from bruises,
however, results from the fact that
the bruises furnish an entrance for
fungus or rot spores. These spores,
or fungus Seeds" are as fine as
dust and float in the air. If they
happen to lodge on, a bruised or
broken spot on the apple, they take
root and grow and spread through
the apple, causing 1t to rot. Wrap
ping or covering the apple may not
always protect it, as the spores may
have lodged on the apple before it
was picked. However. If the skin
and flesh Of the apple can be kept
intact and not bruised or broken,
there is not much danger of the fun
gus or rot finding it's way into the
apple. le
To prevent bruising,. apples should
not be dropped or thrown into "a
bucket, box, or barrel, and in pour
ing from one vessel to another care
should be taken that the apples are
as close as possible 10 the bottom
of the vessel in which you are plac-
ing them before the pouring begins.

COOKING
Great System Perfected by N.
S0yer, Famous London Chef.
MY EXPERIMENTS WITH PAPER
BAG COOKERY.
BY Martha MecuIIoch Williams

BY Martha McCuIIoch Williams.
When Soyer's paper bag method OF
cooking was first brought to my at
tention by friends, who, rightly or
wrongly, seem to have high opinion
Of my abilities as a cook, I admit
that I was skeptical Of Its practical
bility. Indeed, was more than that
was rather firm in my belief that II
could not prove out. But was in
duced to put the system to a trial
and, 10 and behold!-the very first
trial made me an enthusiastic follow
er of M. Soyer. Since then I have
been doing all my cooking by the
Soyer method, and each succeeding
day more than ever convinces me
that any woman, simply by following
Soyer's general directions, and using
that good common sense and care
winch are essential to all good cook
iIg, can master the Soyer paper bag
method Of cooking in very short
time, and will find it great boon
both to herself and to all the mem
bers Of her household.
Following M. Soyer's general direc-
lions for paper bag cookery, speed
lily learned that there are sundry COM
mandments to be observed while pur-
suing his method of cooking.
| The first and greatest of these is
to get the right bag, which is made
specially for cooking, is parafined,
odorless even when crumbly-crisp,
sanitary and to be had in sizes big
enough to hold a Thanksgiving tur-
key, or tiny enough for single chop.
Next, nearly as important, is to
grease the bag inside literally, using
butter, lard, oil, drippings or very
fat rind of bacon.
Further, proportion your bag-size
to what it is destined to held. The
closer the fit of bag and contents,
the better, and the more even and
compact the lay of the food, the less
trouble in handling.
Use a footed wire broiler, or very
open grid-shelf, in the oven. All pa
per bag cooking is done in the oven.
II a gas oven, 1t must be lighted eight
to ten minutes before putting in the
food and kept at blazing heat until
the bag corners scorch lightly; then
slacken the heat third or even half
throughout the rest Of the time Of
cooking.
Be sure to lay the bags In the oven
with the seam uppermost. especially
If water has been put inside. Seams
will steam open now and then-if the
opening is downward there will be a
leakage and much bother.
Finally, 1t is important to remem-
ber that all manipulation, seasoning
and flavoring Of food must be at
tended to before 1t is put in bags.
There can be no stirring or tossing
in the course of paper bag cooking.
Nor must bag be opened at any
time during cooking; such action is
absolutely unnecessary IL directions
are faithfully followed.

When the apples are stored see that
not a single rotten one Is included.
All our small fruits are benefited by
some slight protection during the win
ter.
Raspberries are best protected by
covering with clean straw or marsh
hay.
Burn the trash ral1ed from the gar
den and orchard. Fire is sure rem
edy for bugs.
1t is usually better to protect rasp-
berries over winter by burying in the
soil in the more northern localities.
If you have not already done so you
should go over the orchard and rake
up every rotten apple on the ground,
haul them away from the orchard and
destroy them.
The secret of dwarfing is to starve
the trees. The Japanese produce oaks
of great age but which are so small
that they can be held in one hand like
an ordinary house plant.
If dead and unsightly limbs have
not been taken off the trees, now is
a good time to do so. Paint with
white lead the place from which the
limb came. Cut close to the tree, and
do q clean, smooth job.
In the northwest the state expert
ment stations are working on the pro-
duction of special dwarfed' trees
for the prairie regions. Stand
ard stock is grated on certain roots
such as very small growth as ounce
u wild apple.

Julia Reineke Sanderhoff, wife OF
Fred Sanderhoff, 514 North Dewey
street., died at her home at 1880 Mon
day morning, after an illness of but
two days. 1t was not an Illness, in
reality, for Mrs. Sanderhoff simply
fell peacefully asleep.
Funeral services were held from
the home at one o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, Rev. C. H. Hanks officiat-
ing. The remains were placed tenn
pcrarily in the vault at Oak Hill Gem
etery.
Julia Roineke was born in Wheel
berg, German. Aprill %, 1928, and SO
was nearly "a years OF age. She was
married April IA, 1857, to Mr.. San
derhoff. They came to Owosso ten
years later, Sept 2S, 1867, and have
lived in the county since. Fifteen
years of the time were spent on farm
near the city, but for about 20 years
MIR. and Mrs. Sanderhoff have resided
In the comfortable little home on
Dewey street.
Mrs. Sanderhoff is survived by her
husband and the following children:
Edward Sanderhoff, of Owosso; Ern-
est. of Saginaw; Otto, OF Alma; Luth-
err A., of Owosso; Richard = Los
Angeles. Calf, and Mrs. oaugh-
man, of Albion. All the children
sre here excepting Richard, and the
four sons will act as pallbearers.
Mrs. Sanderhoff's life was notable
for the transformations practice of
simple, homely virtues, which make
omanhood revered, and for it's al
most ideal happiness. She loved her
husband and her children devotedly,
and was never more oontented than
when ministering to them. She did
her own housework from the time she
was married until the time came to
lay life's burdens down. Her hus-
band was ever the sweetheart of her
dreams, and it was a pathetic and
pleasing sight to see them on the
street, always hand-in-hand, wrapp-
cd up in each other
She awaited the coming of the end
with the cheerfulness and confidence
VI one WIZ udS d We'll SpcHI lllS UG-
hind, and made many little sugges-
lions concerning the funeral which
will be faithfully carried Que by her
sorrowing children. At her request
she will be buried in the stockings in
which she was married, nearly fifty
five years ago.
She was the last of her family, her
parents and brothers and sisters hav-
ing preceded her. Her younger broth
err, Andrew Reineke, of this city. who
died last summer, was the only one
besides herself to migrate from the
old home to America.
Mrs. Sanderhooff left the world
better for having lived. She helped
to create and maintain perfect
home; she kept the affection of her
husband and children throughout the
years; and she fashioned her OFF,
spring, by her gentle example into
upright and useful citizens.
Mr.. S9nderhoff is quite i'll, but
bears his wife's loss bravely. II am
glad she had no pain" he says over
and over again.

and let them cool before adding the
jam and cream.
Light the gas. range eight minutes
before beginning to cook, or open the
draughts so the coal range will be
hot. Put the roast on first, upon the
lowest shelf. Put the apples upon
the upper shelf, SO as to leave room
for the tomatoes beside them, AS
soon as the tomatoes are done, re.
move, set the bag in a plate, and
stand where 1t will keep hot. Put
the Lima beans in the vacant place
and when the apples are done, re.
move them and put on the potatoes.

cooking come out even, also to chill
and season your apples before sitting
down to table.
