"Buttermilk is a beverage which

of the fatty elements are removed
in the process of making bstter, but
a number of other valuable nutritive
qualities are left. These become
even more valuable when the butter.
milk is taken with other foods. Thus
buttermilk contains certain amount
of casein which will enable one to
make most satisfying meal off a

amount of meat and potatoes.

Story Published In the New
rlchIand Star Is OF
Interest

From Saturdays Daily.
New Richland people are greatly
stirred up over the disclosures made
at the death of Wilfred B. Frost OF
Chicago, when it was found that he
lad lea a double life supporting two
families. The New Richiand Star
published the following story in its
issue of this week. Those who read
this news article in the daily papers
probably were unaware that it had
any relation to New Richland or It's
people. 1t transpires that the young
woman who unknowingly became the
illegitimate wife of Frost or Mont
clair was formerly a New Richland
girl and with this new setting the
item will be of interest in this com
munity.
Four years ago last June man of
professional appearance, probably
sixty years of age registered at the
National hotel in this place as Dr.
Frost He came here from Rochester
and accompanying him was Miss
Hannah Anderson, daughter of Mrs
Ida Anderson of this place. The
young lady had been employed at a
Rochester hotel and there had met
the so-called DR.. Frost. She was a
girl scarcely eighteen yet the old
man to all appearances had an
affection for the girl and desired to
wed her. The couple stayed here
| for week or So, Frost going away
for few days and then returning
again. They finally departed together
under protest OF several citizens who
had suspicion that all was not
right That was the last heard Of
them, except letter from the girl
to her mother. few days after her
departure. The letter was written
at st. Paul and although it was re.
piled to at once, the letter was re-
turned as unclaimed" From that
day until the publication of the above
dispatch the mother has had not the
slightest intimation as, to the where
abouts of her daughter
| A New Richland gentleman who
had conversation with Or" Frost
upon the latter's visit here has dur
ing these years kept a close lookout
for the name and his attention was
/ therefore at once attracted to the
article. was feared that the girl
had been made away with. However,
while the proof is not yet positive,
it Is now believed that the young
La Crosse wife of Frost is the former
New Richland girl, Hannah Anderson
At least there seems no doubt what
ever, Frost is the man who took Miss
Anderson away with him, the only
discrepancy being that part of the
story which says that Frost was
known in La Crosse as Montclair,
name.
The mother of Miss Anderson says
that the girl informed her she did
not care for the old gentleman but
that he seemed to exert an hypnotic
influence over her and when in his
presence she could not help but do
his bidding. He represented that he
had been granted a divorce from his
wife, we are told, and only awaited
receipt of the legal divorce document,
upon the receipt of which he would
make the Anderson girl his wife.
Mrs. Anderson has the Chicago adj
dress of the first Mrs. Frost and in
tends to go to Chicago to see her
daughter"

There are two towns hearing the name
OF Scutari, of which the larger and better
known is situated on the east side of the
Bosphorus, opposite Constantinople. This
town has q population of between $4,000 and
SO, 900, and is famous as the place where,
during the Crimean wan, the sick and wound
ed soldiers were nursed by Miss Florence
Nightingale.
The other Scutari is a much smaller place,
situated in the north of Albania, and has
only been brought into prominence during
the present Balkan war. It stands at the
southern end of a lake bearing the same
name. The lake lies about northwest and
southeast, and is about Is miles long by 6
wide. Its area is thus nearly the same as
that of st. Croix. The northern end of the
lake is in Montenegro while the southern
end is in Albania and was held by the Turks.
Hence it is easy to understand why the
Montenegrins have attacked the town, which
according to the latest kilograms, they have
at last, after a frightful loss of life, succeeded
IN capturing.
There is every probability that this sue
cess on the part of Montenegro will prove to
be one of the most critical Incidents of the
war, the difficulty lying in the fact that the
Montenegrins had been ordered by the
Great Powers to desist from the lombard
ment of Scutari, and that it has neverthe-
less been continued and brought by the
great "a hours assault to a triumphant issue.
This brings to the front the question
whether Montenegro is to be compelled to
withdraw from Scutari, and if so how and
by whom? There can be no doubt that the
success of the little kingdom has started q
wave of Joy through Russia and at the same
time a wave of anger through Austria, and
it will be an anxious time till a solution of
