HOUSEHOLD NOTES

In boiling vegetables, just enough water to cover is a good rule
 An old linen sheet makes an admir- able ironing cloth.
 Use old table napkins for glass and china towels.
 The best floor covering for the Kitchen is always Hnoleum.
 Save all the discarded neckties- they may be useful for patching.
 A sweet red pepper should always hang in the canary's cage. & Bread for little children should al- ways be stale enough to crumble.
 Ink stains may be taken out of silk with sour milk
 Hold a hot shovel over vanished furniture to take out white spots.
 Shfrtwaists should alway be ironed on the wrong side first.
 Wrap cheese in cloth dipped In vinegar to preserve it.
 Keep the garbage pail dry and you will have no odors and no mosquitos. Carrots, turnips. potatoes and pars- nips should be well scrubbed before preparing
 The best dressing for most vege- tables is simple butter. White sauces are apt to ruin the flavor.
 A good thing to keep an; evening

dress in is a cheesecloth bag with a hanger in the top.
 Old sheets should be made into bags in which to hang ene's suits or dress es.
 Every closet should have little shelves in it, one above the other. near the floor to hold shoes.
 To keep icing from sticking to the knife when you cut a cake, dip the knife in warm water.
 Instead of cutting up raisins with scissors. try putting them through meat chopper.
 When hemming table linen, soap the hem with castle soap and the needle will slip through more easily.
 good idea is to have egg spoons made Of black horn, tos prevent the discoloring of silver ones.
 To serve porridge or cereal so 1t won't stick to the spoon. first dip the spoon in milk
 After boiling beets, drop them into cold water, and the skins can be cas- fly rubbed off by the hands
 Keep an oyster shell in the tea ket- tie to prevent an undue accumulation of lime.
 Change the lids of the kitchen range frequently, and you will prevent their warping. To clean screen doors, wet a wooden

 at least and strip off all old leaves A quick way to cool a sfckroon ia to wet crib sheet with cologne, hang in a draught of air or shake the sheet lightly while wet. The best color for nursery walls is soft green. Ail-white irritates adult eyes and must be tormenting to ba- bies.

Rapid Debate Churchmen
Assail Liquor Traffic.

Laurel, Del, April 1Z-wnliam H. An
derson. superintendent OF the Anti

much enthusiasm at the morning ses-
sion OF the Maryland annual confer
ence OF the Methodist Protestant
Church in an address on local option.

During the morning session the dea-
concesses' work was strongly urged by
President Bowers and former Presidents
Sheridan and Little. A resolution was
adopted in the afternoon asking that
Rev. Alfred Race. rector OF 81. Philips
Protestant Episcopal Church, Laurel.
furnish the conference a copy OF his
address OF welcome which will be print
ed in fun in the conference minutes.
This VIII be the first time an address
OF its kind was ever published in the
inmates OF the conference.
Immediately following this a report was
adopted pledging the support OF the
conference to the Anti-Saloon League. A
resolution was offered emitting women
10 be elected conference delegates or
any other position in the church that
is open TO men. A running rapid fire
sutfragette debate followed. Both reso-

RICH SOAP MAKER
FOUND MURDERED
Body of George E. Marsh, of Lynn,
Mass, Found Lifeless
... in Woods. - -

Lynn. Mass, April 1.-THE body of
George E. Marsh, a wealthy Lynn soap
manufacturer, was found on West Lynn
marshes to-day under circumstances that
the police say indicate murder. He was
found lying near the boulevard with a
cash over his left Sar. Robbery was the
and money were gone.
Five bullet holes were found In the
chest and head. Medical Examiner Jo-
seph G. Pinkhsm, after a preliminary ex-
animation said that Mr.. Marsh undoubt-
edly was murdered.
Mr.. Marsh was seventy-three years old
and President of the Goodwill Soap Com
pany, with a factory in Chestnut Street
and refinery out on the marshes. Two
years ago he sold out to Swift & Co.
Of Chicago. He remained, however, as
operating head Of the plant at an annual
salary Of $500.
He was assessed for $4,000 in Lynn,
and was reputed to be worth 100000.
He was a Mason and a member of Ok
ford Club, one of the richest mems clubs
in Essex County.
The Lynn police tonight are hunting
for a woman whom they believe can
throw light on the staying of George z.
Marsh. After several hours tnvestiga-
ton. they learned that the murdered man
left his house about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, saying he was going for an
automobile ride with an acquaintance
The name of the person with whom he
took the ride is known to the police, but
they will not divulge it. This companion
of the murdered man was a woman, ac-
cording to the police, who say she was
seen in the automobile with Mr.. Marsh
II is understood she lives in the eastern
part Of Lynn The police intimated that
they are working on the theory that
some person who saw the woman with
Mr.. Marsh may have been actuated by
jealousy.
At o'clock yesterday he visited the
tailor shop OF Parker & Stone, in Ex-
change Street, where he ordered a suit
OF clothes He told members of the firm
he was preparing to visit his son in
California. His movements thereafter
have not been traced definitely, but
Chief Burcket says Marsh went 70 Bos-
ton last night, and that the murder may
have occurred there. II Mr. Marsh was
slain in Boston, the body was probably
taken in an automobile to the spot where
II was found.
