said he was practically through and would not probably go to the l,assc:: hume again. When asked if there would be an arrest soon he said he couldn't hardly say.
 Pictures of the scene and the blood stains were taken by Coroner Bili's son, and he and Officer Hurley meas ured distances. 1t is now said that Lawson had at least S45 tn his pocket, and is believed te have had more, but this Is not known.
 During Tuesday night Mrs. Lawson suffered relapse and has since been under the care Of Dr. E. k. Pike.
 That Mrs. Lawson will be called up- on to explain many things in connec- ton with the case Is generally believ- ed. It Is thought that she knows great deal more about the murder than she has told. It now seems absolute ly certain that the crime was commit ted early in the evening. The body was cold when found and doctors say Lawson had been dead three or four hours. This would bring the time of the murder between and 9 o'clock. Ben Johnson left the Lawson place shortly after 7,30. From this time un- til the daughter arrived home between II and II. 80 MT. and Mrs. Lawson
 were alone in the house. The dog was not upon the premises.
 The murderer took time to wash some of the blood stains of from the cellar stairs and sprinkle ashes over others. Had the murder been com miited by tramps caught in the act of stealing cider by Mir. Lawson they never would have gone to the trouble of carrying the body to the barn nor attempting to wash of blood stains.
 c State Policeman Hurley left Putnam at l0.30 o'clock Wednesday morning in Ford touring ear. The side cur the car completely. He went to the Lawson home. Coroner Bill went there at the same time. When they learned that Mrs. Lawson was serious ly ill they returned to Putnam. They did not make their purpose at tho Lawson place known, but 1t is believ- ed 1t had to do with Mrs. Lawson for they did not remain long after they learned of her condition.
 This Thursday Mrs. Lawson Is re- ported as resting comfortably and has begun taking nourishment. She has very bad heart. Miss Appley trained nurse is in attendance. State officers have not been near the place today.

The Whiteside. Strauss at the Bradley
 Theatre

The best entertainment that we human beings know is to be made to live vicariously for time, the lives of other people Good plays carry us out o ourselves; while poor ones fail to make the emotions real to us. We have to believe play before we can be pleas antiy transported away from ourselves and given chance to play that we are ''Olympians" or kind of demi- gods who can be personally interested in life, yet, at the same time be above it.
 The author of "For Old Times Sakev the play selected for the opening of the Whiteside-S company's engage ment at the Bradley theatre, plai nly understood the requirements for weav- ing a spell above us, for entertaining us, or as the word really means, shold- ing us between" time and eternity. He doesn't stumble as he carries before our eyes these pictures of human passions fears and sorrows. Recognizing his own humanity in us, he doesn't offend us by asking us 10 sympathize with things that are repellent to us. A touch of pathos, great deal of humor fidelity of characterization, all help this wonderful play.
 It is one of those intensely human plays. The motive in 1t, is one of the most beautiful known to enlightened people, a warm and impulsive act of kindness springing straight from the hearts of those who had reasons to let their suspicious run away with their judgment. Such generous acts are done by thousands--they help materi- ally 10 make the world habitable for those whose wandering steps lead them into dark paths. The entire atmos- phere of "For Old Time Sake" is ex- quisitely natural and refined.
 A wonderfully massive scenic pro duction of this great play is promised us by The Whiteside-Strauss company next Monday at the Bradley tEeatre, and as the management of this company is careful, that there shall be no waits between the acts, five vaude- vile features are carried.
 Seats may be obtained Friday, Aug ust 22nd. adv.

Auto Ras Over Boy's Arm

Edgar Proslx, aged 10, of Webster had his arm run over by an Automo- bile last Friday afternoon. He sus- tained nothing more serious than braise. The boy was riding on the running board of a trolley car as is came through Elm street where the tracks were being relaid. He stepped off just as touring car driven by DanieIson man came along. The car was going slowly and the front wheels only passed over the boys arm. The soft earth prevented the arm from be- ing broken. The boy was taken to . doctors office, but soon went to the home of his uncle, Nelson Prouixs whers he was vlsitlng. He retufned home Saturday.

A can opener that is intended for
quick work has been designed by an
Arkansas man. A spirally curved cut
ting blade that forms two heart shaped
sections is attached to q shaped
handle. At the bottoms of the sec
tions are sharp points. To use this
tool the cook has merely to press down
upon it until it has sunk through the
top of the tin clean to the handle,
then give the implement one twist
around and the entire top of the can
is removed as swiftly and neatly as
any one could wish. Where a number
of cans have to be opened quickly this
device is an obvious improvement over
the type that slowly saws through the
tin. Furthermore, there is here no dan
ger of cutting the fingers on a jagged
piece of lid

Preserving Mint.

Drying is the best method. The mint
should be picked just before it flowers
and should be gathered on a dry day.
Wash it thoroughly, spread on brown
paper and place it in warm oven to
dry quickly, taking care, however, not
to let it burn. When it is dry rub the
leaves from the stems, cool, put into
jars or bottles and cork tightly. The
following recipe for mint sauce, using
dried mint leaves, is recommended:
Three tablespoonfuls of finely chopped
mint leaves to two gills of French
vinegar mixed with three ounces of
powdered sugar.

The Perfect Laxative
h For Elderly People

Age has its attractions no less than
youth in more serene and Quieter life.
But it is this very life of rest without
sufficient exercise that brings with it
those disorders that arise/ from in
activity. Chief of these are a chronic,
persistent constipation.
Most elderly people are troubled in
this way, with accompanying symptoms
of belching, drowsiness after eating,
headaches and general lassitude. Fre-
Quently there is difficulty of dfgesting
even light food. Much mental trouble
ensues, as it is hard to find a suitable
remedy. First of all the advice may be
given that elderly people should not use
salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters
or any of the more violent purgatives.
What they need, women as well as men,
is a mild laxative tonic, one that is
pleasant to take and yet acts without
gripping.

A scrambled egg can be made to

crumbs to soak them. Beat up the
eggs in the usual way and stir the
soaked crumbs into it.
Scramble all together lightly and

WHY FARM WOMEN DIE
EARLIER THAN FARM MEN

Farm and Fireside, an agricultural
contains in its current number an
interesting account of farm life as
viewed from the standpoint OF women.
The author OIL the article "a woman)
says that as the farm becomes more
prosperous, the farmer has more help
both men and machinery, while the
work of his wife is increased-more
people to cook and wash dishes for,
more fruit, more chickens and milk
to attend to. In the majority OF
cases, the farmers wife does not
have help as her work becomes heav-
Ter. The author goes on to say:
1T Is a statistical fact that farm
women die earlier than farm men,
and that those who survive the years
of drudgery break in health sooner
than the men. The opposite is true
in town. There is no doubt in my
mind that the biggest factor in the
development of this state Of affairs
