In the course OF his address the |
other evening, DIR. Wiley made few
pertinent r m rk s
Girls and about the value of
Good Cooking. good cooking. He
placed it second
J only to pure food as a contributor to
physical health and even went so far
in his championship to declare that
the divorce evil could be greatly les
sened by closer attention to things
culinary on the part of the woman
hood of the nation.
DIR. Wiley is doubtless right as US
ual and his remarks were occasioned
! by growing tendency on the part
of young ladies to neglect the more
homely accomplishments of their sex
for those which are higher in social
recognition, to equip themselves more
Tor the drawing room and less for the
kitchen.
The error lies not altogether with
the girls for many mothers, who en-
Joyed but few advantages when they
were young, are desirous of making
fine ladies of their daughters, and
that a proper education to this end
does not include an expert knowledge
of cooking and other household arts.
Seemingly they forget the fact that
woman is only half a woman who
cannot manage household from
kitchen to garrett no matter how
skilled her fingers on the piano, how
beautiful the tones of her voice, hop
, tasteful her dress or how eloquently
she can speak or fluently write. Such
woman is as much an object of pity
as man who cannot harness a horse
or milk a COW, What greater COM
pliment can a woman want than to
have Others say of her, shes a grand
cook" or a perfect housekeeper"?
AS for Dr. Wiiey's statement that
good cooking is the greatest of all
prophylactics for divorce, it is doubt
less made with a conviction behind
it and is probably more than half
right. 1t may require other arts to
win man but the ability to please
his stomach goes long way towards
keeping him. AS the poet Meredith
says:
1--WE may live without poetry, music
and art,
We may live without conscience or
live without heart,
We may live without friends, we may
live without books,
But civilized man cannot live with
out cooks"

UNKNOWN PARTIES
SHOOT DOWN NEGRO
Highly Respected Negro Is
Brutally Murdered in An
dalusia by White Men

Andalusia, June 25.-(Special.) )--One of
the foulest murders committed in this
county in some years occurred this morn
ing about $3.50 o'clock in the outskirts of
town. The victim was George Taylor,
a highly respected negro. The door to
the house was broken open and as he
was fleeing with his clothes in his hand,
he was shot three or four times, either
of the shots being fatal. j. w. Hays,
Marvin Hudson, Henry Hudson and
Walker Brant, all white men, have been
arrested and placed in Jail under sus-
picion and other arrests will follow dur
ing the day.
Whoever committed the murder was
carried to the negro's house in an auto
mobile and after the killing took place
the car was driven away at a terrible
rate of speed and aroused a good many
people along the streets as it went away
No reason has yet been assigned as to
why he was murdered. Taylor was
looked upon as one of the most noffen-
sive negroes in the county and If he had
an enemy it was not generally known.
Sheriff Livings and corps of deputies
are making a sweeping investigation and
every clue will be run down until the
guilty parties are brought to light. Tay-
lors wife says her husband was shot by
two white men, but in the dark and dur
ing the excitement, she was unable to
identify them.

MANY SMALL THEFTS
REPORTED TO POLICE

The police were kept busy last night
answering burglary and theft calls. Six
burglaries and thefts were reported.
Officers Allen and Forman discovered
early yesterday morning that a dry
goods store at 314 South Twentieth
street had been entered. Quite a num-
ber of articles were taken, the largest
item on the list being that of three
and a half dozen silk shirts. 1t appears
that the burglar used a butchers steel
on the door but could not force it. He
finally managed to break off two bars
from the window and effected an en-
trance
C. p Lichty, a contractor, reported
that negro had called at his home
and secured a suitcase filed with tools.
The negro, it seems, claimed that Mr.
Lichty had sent him for the tools and
the lady of the house unsuspectingly
turned them over to him.
Burglars entered Suffers store at 3211
First avenue and secured a pistol and
several pieces of silk. Entrance was ef-
fected by the use of brick and a
strong right arm. The brick was di-
rected at the window and it was shat
tered.
Elmer Gadd of 40S1a Suth Twen-
tieth street reported that thief had
taken a suit of clothes from him.
Rosa Jones reported that someone
had taken five rings, a black skirt, a
white satin skirt and 50. AZ in cash
while she was absent from her resi-
dence.
Burglars entered the home of p
Jaffee and secured an Elgin watch and
81 in cash, making his escape. Mrs
I. Friedman awoke while the intruder
was in the house and was badly
frightened.

throughout the day as usual. the East
Lake trouble was the only one of such
magnitude to cause anxiety.
The East Lake car which set off the
explosion last night was going at a
moderate rate of speed. according to the
motorman. He said that he did not no
tice any obstruction ON the track and
the first warning of danger that he had
was the loud sound of the explosion. On
the rear end of the car Conductor Bowen
had nothing to add to Mr.. Campbell s
statement. Officer u. +. Hollums was
riding the car at the time of the explo-
sion and it was reported at police head
quarters that he had suffered slight
cut over the left eye from flying gravel.
While the passenger were not injured
they were badly frightened.
1--WE were coming toward Birmingham
at a moderate rate of speed when sudden
ly there was a terrific explosion under
the front of the car, which rocked vio-
lenty," said Officer Hollums. "The mo-
torman brought his car to stop imme-
diately and | looked around the place
but could find no one. We examined the
car at the time, but did not discover the
broken fange until we arrived in Bir-
mingham where the car split switch.
"I am certain that the explosive was
dynamite because we could see the smoke
and | smelled it. / have had occasion
to use dynamite often and know the
smell.
"rhere were about six passengers on
1,
were badly frightened, none was injured :
Rumors We're rife throughout the city
last night, but few alarms were recorded
at police headquarters. About 20 or 30
men were congregated at Fourth avenue
and Twentieth street at about 1890
O. clock, but they dispersed quietly when
asked to do so by Chief Bodeker. who
was on the scene with squad of plain
clothes men and uniformed officers.
A little before 8 o'clock report was
received at police headquarters saying
that something like so men were assem-
bled at Eighth avenue and Twenty-first
street. Three motorcycle men and two
or three plainclothes men went to the
scene and the body dispersed without
demonstration.
1t was reported at police headquarters
at an early hour this morning that a
missile of some kind had been thrown
at North birmingham car The car
was said to have been between Fifteenth
and sixteenth avenues when the object
was thrown and no one was injured.
There were but three persons on the car
at the time.
An officer was standing on the rear
platform and the missile passed within
six inches of lis head The car was int
mediately stopped and the officer stepped

Frederick F. Friedman with his anti
tuberculosis vaccine at Montreal ottawa.

"As a result of our observation" the

the disease.
'2. The cure or progress towards cure

which cases have been under observa-

been proved and that nothing has been
found to justify any confidence in the
remedy
