Fishing. Found Dead

W. G. Ware, cashier Of the
Bank of Irrelevant and one OF the
towns most prominent citizens and
business men, was drowned last
Saturday in the Obion River, three
miles north of Trezevant, near
what is known as Dudley's Slough
Mr.. Ware with Messrs. w. L.
Yancey and A. E. Hillsman, two
other business men Of the town,
left about noon Thursday to tpend
a few days on the river fishing and
hunting. They decided early Sat
urday that they would return
home and Mr.. Yancey left the
camp and walked in home early in
the morning and had wagon 90
down to bring MIR. Ware and Mr..
Hillsman and the camping outfit
in.
After Yancey left the camp
Messrs Ware and Hillsman went
to the river. Mr.. Hillsman left
Mr.. Ware for a few minutes and
when he returned to where they
were separated he could not find
his companion. He began to search
and called for him, but received
no reply. Mr.. HilIsman then
went to the camp thinking possibly
that Mr.. Ware had gone on ahead,
but when he reached the camp he
found that he was not there and
another search was made for him
but of no avail.
The wagon was then loaded and
the party came to town and noti-
fed the family Of Mr.. Ware, and
r. Z. Ware, his son, got in his
car and carried two or three other
men with him. They drove
hurridly to the scene and after
making a close search for the miss
ing man they telephoned back to
town that they had failed to find
him.
Soon after noon another party,
of a large number of the
business men of the town and
others, went down to the scene in
hacks and buggies.
The body was found 10 a short
time, near where he was left by
Mr.. Hillsman.
When the body was located by
Abner Mann, with a pole and hook
it was standing almost erect, as it
had drifted down stream and was
against a lot of driftwood, The
water was about eight feet deep at
that place. The body was soon
removed and placed in hack and
brought to the home of the deceas-
ed on West Main Street.
Mr.. Ware was subject to spells
Of heart trouble, and it is thought
that he was bending over the bank
Of the river and was suddenly
seized with one of these spells and
fell into the water and drowned
before help could arrive.
He is survived by his wife and
four daughters, Misses Willie,
3rooksie, Elizabeth and Martha

To hosts OF people IL is deadly. And
80 per cent OF the starch in your bread
is raw"
Then Mrs. Sharpless began TO study.
She read everything there was in
Philadelphia on bread and wheat
Then she went TO Boston and exhaust
ed the capacity OF the great public
library there. She studied chemistry,
and examined all Kinds OF bread and
flour under the microscope. Ten years
OF the hardest rt-of- work she put
IN on me problem.
She found that in the ordinary pro-
cesses OF making bread the minute
granules OF starch in the wheat -four
were gathered in small cells, hundreds
OF them In cell. They became coat
ed with gluten, gelatinous substance
which formed the cells, and were pro-
tected so carefully that the heat didn't
cook them or break them open. All
manner OF experiments were tried, but
raw starch remained in the bread
Finally Mrs. Sharpless got "hunch"
from the way paper-hanger mix ed
his flour for paste.
She mixed her flour, water yeast,
etc, as quickly and lightly as possible.
Then she set il aside TO raise
When the mixture Was raised, :" she
did not knead il. She merely shaped
Il into loayes quickly and deity, with
as little handling as possible
Then she baked IL in the usual way.
And the bread showed 80 per cent OF
the starch granules broken up-gela-
tinized-cooked!!,
Moreover, it's nutritive value was
doubled-eyery loaf had the nourish-
ing power OF two OF the old loaves
Samples were submitted TO physi-
clans and scientists. They couldn't
believe what had been accomplished.
DR.. James McAllister, president OF the
Drexel institute. stamped IL a wonder
ful discovery, as did Prof. Reichert, of
the University OF Pennsylvania, and
DIR. S. Weir Mitchell, the author and
specialist, who is one of the greatest
physicians in the world
There is no secret about IT, Mrs.
Sharpless wants everybody TO know
how it is done. Just do 1t quickly and
don't knead It. The whole idea is to
disturb the dough as little as possible
It may be mixed by hand, or with a
machine In the mixing of her early
patches Mrs Sharpless used her
hands Then, to make more than two
or three loaves at once, she used a
mixer consisting OF an old rolling pin
which she fitted up with series cf
knives and placed over a mixing bowl.
The rolling pin was turned with a
crank and the knives thoroughly and
quickly mixed the -four with the other
ingredients.
