Two Men Are Released by Grand
Jury But Their Names Have
Not Been Made Public for
Various Reasons.
Present Session Of the Grand Jury Is
the Longest for Many Years In
Lee County and sensa-
tons Expected.

Another partial report of the grand
jury was made yesterday afternoon,
but as yet nothing can be given out
definitely in regard TO the much talk
ed of question of civic affairs. 1t is
known that two OF the alleged gam
blers have been cleared of the charges
against them but their names have
not been made public for fear that
others, who are being investigated,
will get out of town.
The man named Lawrence Clark,
who was charged with stealing a
team of horses, and who was caught
over on the Illinois side Of the river,
was not indicted by the grant jury
and was released yesterday afternoon.
The present session of the grand
jury is the longest that has been held
in Lee County for many years and ac-
cording to reports they will be in SEES
sion for at least a week longer. 1t is
understood that they are making d
rigid investigation into the alleged
illegal sales of liquor in the county
and several indictments are apt to be
returned.
County Attorney Craig has had tc
turn practically all the prosecution
of criminal cases over to his deputy
on account of his presence with the
grand jury and is unable to say
when he will be able to resume ac
tual work in his office. For foul
jury. and there is yet large number
of witnesses to be examined.
Eddie Frakes, who was charged
with assault with intent to kill Ell
Woods. was also released by tn,
grand jury, upon Investigation of TIL
facts in the case The alleged assault
was committed last month an

We have in this town an example of
the energy and ability of Ellendale's
talent and business ability, and the esteem
in which our worthy citizens are held
by big business men when they have the
opportunity to test them. Here is our
thrifty Bob Clendaniel who received all
of his business experience right here in
this little village. He began business four
years ago with little more than a good
brain, will power, and honest intent to
depend upon. He is now sought after
by the financial lumber firms of the north,
but this does not satisfy Bob. Last week
he was called to Salisbury through the
solicitation of our old bOyhood neighbor,
Robert Green, where he met q gentleman
from Suffolk, Virginia He there closed
a deal for the largest delivery of first
class Delaware oak ever sent south. He
received a fine price for the timber which
makes Bob justly proud of his achieve
ments. We hope most sincerely that
this new movement of our product to the
south will be a good success and admire
our young fellow citizens pluck and
energy in bucking up against those great
interests and concerns of unlimited
wealth

PAPER BAGS IDEAL FOR INVALID
COOKERY.

In invalid cookery the eye must be
appealed to, as dish that is attrac-
tive In appearance will be more apt
to be tasted; and, tasted, 1t Is up to
the cook to make it 80 savory that
not a crumb is left.
When preparing food for the inva-
lid, more pains can be taken, as one
dish may be more quickly prepared
than one for family.
Minced Chicken With Toast.-F1nly
mince the breast of chicken, add
tablespoonful of cream, the yolk of
an egg and a little salt. Lay in a
creased paper bag with a small piece
of toast. Seal and cook six minutes
in a hot oven. Serve in the bag.
Chicken Tea.-Cup up fowl, break
the bones and add two tablespoonfuls
Of water, seal and place the bag on
the rack In the oven. Allow forty-f1ve
minutes in a slow oven. Strain and
serve. 5--..
In paper bag cookery not only ia
the natural flavor of every article
of food preserved, but all undesirable
flavors are kept out. .".. r.
For invalid cookery this is great
point in it's favor, as the delicate
aroma and flavor of the white meats
and those suitable for diet in conva.
lescence are so easily dissipated by
cooking.
1t was one of our ancient wise men
who said "that which pleases the pal.
ate nourishes" It Is most important
that the invalid eat that food which
Is best for building up and repairing
waste.
FiIleted PouItry.-Slice carrot,
turnip and an onion; add a little ham,
a pinch of sugar and salt, and place
in the bottom of a well-buttered bag.
Slice the breast of a fowl, lay the
slices on the prepared vegetables,
sprinkle with melted butter, seal and
cook six minutes in a slow oven.
Dish the fillets, put the vegetables
Into sieve or fruit press, press light.
