EIGHT MEN KILLED IN
 STARCH HOUSE EXPLOSION
Four Others Are Missing and 27 Se-
 riousIy Injured.

Waukegan, H., Nov. 25.-An ex- plosion which wrecked the dry starch house of the Corn Products company's plant this afternoon killed between eight and twelve workmen, injured 27 others, several of whom will die, and caused about S10O,000 property damages.
 Uncertainty as to the number of dead was caused by inability of fire men to search the burning ruins be- cause of continued minor explosions. Edward Conrad, deputy in the Lake county coroner's office, was authority for the statement that twelve men at least had been trapped in the wrecked building. Eight are known to be dead and four are missing.
 Nearly all the workmen killed or injured were Polish, Lithuanian or Austrian, and they were on the com panys pay roll by numbers and not by names.
 The body of one man killed was blown across the Chicago & North western railroad right of way on tc the hillside in Oakwoods cemetery Aill the injured were coated with starch which had to be washed of . before surgeons could treat their in- juries.

ENGLISH LEeHoRNs LEAD.
Records at 6torrs Read Like a Year Aso--only Marketable Eggs to Count.

The total number of eggs laid dur ing the second week of the second in- ternational egg laying contest at Storrs was 2S7. This is a considerable increase over the production of the previous week, and also over the pro- duction of the same period in the first contest. The pen that laid the great est number of eggs during the week was a pen of single comb white Leg horns, owned by Thomas Baron of Cat forth, near Preston, Eng. This pen laid % eggs. Second for the week was a pen of single comb white Leghorns, owned by Smith Bros. of Nottingham, Pa. This pen laaid 23 eggs Third for the week was pen of single comb white Leghorns, owned by Ed Cain of Houghton, near Preston, Eng. This pen laid 16 eggs during the week. fourth was pen of single comb white Orpingtons, owned by White Acres poultry farm, Threetuns, Pa. with a score of 15.
 The following is the list of the first ten pens as they stand at the end of the second week:
 Thomas Baron of Catforth, Eng, single comb white Leghorns, 36; Smith Bros. of Nottingham, Pa, single comb white Leghorns, 30; White Acres poul- try farm, Threetuns, Pa. single comb white Orpingtons, p; Edward Cain of Houghton, Eng, single comb white Leghorns, 20; A. P. Hillhouse of Bond vile, Que, single comb brown Leg horns, IS; Braeside poultry farm of Stroudsburg, Pa., single comb white Leghorns, Is; E. S. Edgerton of West Wilmington, Ct. rose comb Rhode Is- land Reds, 16; Beulah farm, Stony Creek Ont, white Wyandottes, 15; William Ross of Eagleville, Ct, white Wyandottes, IA; Burton B. Morse of Winsted, single comb white Leghorns, 7 14; Waiter Hogan of Petluma, Cal, single comb white Leghorns. IA; Toms poultry farm. Toms River, N. J., sin gle comb white Leghorns, 12; c. F. Riddle of Canton, Pa. single comb white Leghorns, Il.
 The largest egg laid during the week weighed 19-100ths of a pound. The egg was double yolked. It was laid by a single comb Leghorn bullet owned by Smith Bros. of Nottingham, Pa.
 It will be of interest to poultry men and the public to know that the win ner of this contest is determined by the greatest number of marketable eggs laid. Unmarketable eggs consti- tute very small eggs and soft-shell eggs. Last year these unmarketable eggs counted the same as did the good market eggs. If the winner of the first contest had been determined by the greatest number of marketable eggs, the Wyandottes owned by Beulah farm would have won.
 A greater production from the new flock of birds is anticipated this year. The birds are, on the whole, more ma ture. Most of them are about ready to lay, many new ones laying each day. The production so far is running much higher than it did last year at this time.

Why French Women Always Look Young
("Aurilla" in Society World)

Aurllla Tn society WOrlQ)
 In France mothers of daughters look like sisters. I tried to find out how the women were able to retain their youthful looks until long past middle age. I learned that they were much given to the use of mercolized wax. This wax possesses a remarkable ab- sorbent property which quickly re- moves the fine particles of cuticle which are constantly dying and which are the immediate cause of an old looking complexion. Thus the live Her, healthier, younger skin beneath Is given a chance to breathe and show itself. I've tried this treatment my self. In less than two weeks my com plexion has become as clear, soft and beautiful as a young girls. Just one ounce of mercolized wax Gall Ameri- can druggists have it) did the work The wax is put on nights like cold cream and washed off mornings. Another valuable secret I learned from the French was how to quickly remove wrinkles. One ounce of powdered saxolite dissolved in a half pint witch hazel. makes marvelously effective astringent lotion. The face should be bathed in this daily until the deepest lines have entirely disap- peared.

HYDE DECLARES THAT
 ROBIN IS INSANE
Former City Chamberlain Testifies in
 His Own Behalf.

New York, Nov. 25.-Charies H. Hyde took the stand in his own be- half at his trial on the charge of brib- cry today and categorically denied ac- cusations to the effect that as city chamberlain in 1910 he forced the Northern bank to loan the Carnegie Trust company a large sum of money by juggling with city deposits and that specific case of bribery had re- suited from a conversation with Jo- seph G. Robin of the Northern bank on August 22, 1910. At the time the alleged bribery conversation took place Hyde asserted that he was at his suburban home at Long Island at dinner with his family.
 At the opening of Hyde's defense today his counsel declared that he would seek to show through the testi- mony of aiienists that Robin, the states chief witness, was insane when he told the district attorney the story duplicating Hyde. and that Robin is insane today.
 After Justice Golf had denied the |motion by Hyde's lawyers to dismiss the indictment on grounds that the

STANDPATTERS START
BOOM TO HIT LaFOLLETTE

OMAHA. Neb., Jan. 13.-Just SO
long as the republicans OF Nebraska
believe that Theodore Roosevelt Is
sincere In his statement that he Is not
candidate for the presidency, Just
SO long will the Roosevelt sentiment
lie dormant.
The filing OF a petition to place Col.
Roosevelt's name on the republican
primary ballot for president Is not re-
garded seriously by the republicans
OF the state.
Anyone may become candidate
for president in Nebraska by fling a
petition containing 20 names.
The nNsbraska supporters OF Sena-
tor LaFollette regard the Roosevelt
petition as an unfriendly move fos-
tered by the Taft standpat element
although this Is denied by the sup
porters Of the president.
The LaFollette sentiment, however.
is too strong and growing too fast for
any movement not coming from Col.
Roosevelt to find favor in Nebraska.
