 Whenever there Is new acquisition to the forces of the Associated Charities, interest is at once enlisted and in this instance Miss Cecelia P. Templeton occu- pies the center of the stage, since her advent here during the past week has been the occasion of congratulation to Mrs. William McGrath, in the opportu- nity afforded by her for the advancement of new views and practical demonstra- tons of the wide experience she has had in religious and sociological work.
 Miss Templeton impresses the casual ob- server, first. with her gentleness and kindness, her sweet face indicating that these qualities are foremost in her make- up.
 Her kindly smile-and her friendly man. ner. create at once an attitude of true fellowship to the stranger, and 1t would be difficult person indeed who couldn't be approached by this gentlewoman.
 Miss Templeton. who is at present as- sisting with the work of the Associated Chaiities, come to Birmingham with an enthusiasm that is spontaneous. and it is augmented by the splendid work which MT. McGrath and his associates have al- ready accomplished and the still greater that they have mapped out to be accom- plished in the future.
 Miss Templeton speaks in the highest terms of MT. McGrath's splendid ability and unswerving interest in the work of the Associated Charities and, although she has known him only by repu- tation and through correspondence, she believes him to be the right man in the right place, well equipped to handle the difficult problems Of growing city like Birmingham, and worthy of the honor be- slowed upon him in heading the asso- ciation of charitable work.

 l do not recall the recipe you speak of. I do know, however, that salt and water foot baths, to which has been added a little powdered alum, taken at night, will draw out the soreness from the feet and harden them to resist wear and tear. A correspondent writes that 20 drops of car- boic acid, stirred into pint of grain al- cohol, and used as a sponge bath for the feet at bedtime. is wonderfully effica- cious in relieving tired muscles and ach- ing bones. Your husband may try both remedies.

Hooters Was Convicted
of Killing Woman
Continued from First Page.)

Der IA, 1912. Mrs Kraft was sixty
years old and had been a, widow four
years. She became infatuated with
Koetters who is 35 years old and sold
her property in Cincinnati for $4,000.
Koetters, believing that he had failed
to get all her money by cajolery, en-
ticed her to Chicago, murdered her
and fed. A long search for Koetters
was fruitless until he was recognized
in San Francisco, where he kept a
lodging house in partnership with a
woman. Koetters tried repeatedly to
induce her to insure her life in his
favor. She became afraid of him and
reported to the police. Koetters sought
to prove that he was not in Chicago
with Mrs Kraft His attempt to prove
an alibi did not impress the jurors
who quickly voted him guilty but
spent several hours to determine the
punishment.
