BROUGHT INGENUITY TO BEAR
How ResourcefuI Woman Used Her
Fireless Cooker to Aid Her In
Task OF Washing.


That the hreless cooker principle is
applicable to some other branches Of
housework has been proved conclu-
sively by one OF our clever readers,
VINO startled me the other day by writ
ing that she washes her clothes in q
nreless cooker, says the Philadelphia
Ledger This sounded unbelievable.
out this is what she did:
She purchased a large, well-made
barrel with the head knocked OF. and
also bought large galvanized can
with close-fitting lid, such as is used
Tor removing garbage or containing
water. She placed the large can with
10 the barrel and she filed the three
inch space between the two entirely
with excelsior. which she packed down
thoroughly-in other words. she insult
ated the can as much as possible.
She also made a little cushion stuffed
with excelsior to entirely cover the
barrel top and fit down over the top
OF the inner can.
NOW what next did this woman?
She filled the can half full OF boiling
water in which she placed her white
clothes, together with a generous
handful of soap powder. She then
smut the lid, pressed down the circular
cushion and let the clothes remain in
the suds over night In the morning
sne found them very thoroughly
soaked. to say the least, anu thus
great deal of her washday labor
saved.
Who says our housewives are not
Ingenious?

XIII Theresa HoiIander.
Geneva, Ill, Oct. 5.-Anthony Petras
was found not guilty of Theresa Hol-
lander's murder by twelve Kane
county citizens in Judge Carnes' court.
Holding his young wife in his arms.
Tony listened to the one sentence
which restored him his freedom. He
kissed her when the words were read
and Mrs. Petras laughed joyfully.
With the jury's verdict the mystery
of the Hollander girls death slipped
back again into the grim shadow OF
st. Nicholas cemetery. where her body,
dubbed and bleeding, was found on
the night of February 10.
The states first effort to fasten the
crime upon Petras resulted in an IL to
/ disagreement In favor Of his &C
quittal early in July. No new evil
dence was produced against Petras in
the second trial.
Park WhippIe, the foreman of the
fury, said: "You may say that the first
ballot stood at least to 3 for acquit-
cal. and that four ballots we're all that
we're taken. We reached the verdict
aG 1890 o'clock last night, ard in ac-
quitting Petras believe we have done
our duty according to Inc law and the
evidence in the case."s

ure. The Democrats who opposed the

Thomas
Democra lie senators not In favor OF
the bill were induced 10 vote for it on
a promise by Senator Culberson that
the provision in It regulating inter
locking bank directors would be given
further consideration at the winter
session after modification had been
drafted by the federal reserve board.
The senate judiciary committee had
recommended elimination OF reference
to bank regulation on the ground that
such provision had no place in an anti
trust law, but belonged to the bank
ing and currency law 1t urged the
issue be left open until report from
the reserse board could be obtained.
Acting on this recommendation. the
senate rejected the provision, but the
senate conferees restored it on the in
sistence. they claimed. of the house
conferees.
With passage OF the conference re-
port there is an understanding that
the federal reserve board will prepare
regulations concerning the relation
ship OF directors In banks and bank
ing institutions which will be submit
ted to congress next session as an
amendment to the banking laws
When enacted, this regulation will re-
peal the Objectionable section in the
Clayton bill as passed by the senate.
Senator Reed forced a roll call on
his motion to recommit the bill to the
conference committee, but was beaten.
35 to 25. The Democrats who voted
to recommit were: Reed, Lane, Mar
tine, Thomas. Vardaman and VIII
liams
A motion by Senator McCumber to
carry the bill over as unfinished bust
ness to the winter session was de-
feated without a roll call.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS

When making apricot jam add a lit
tie lemon juice. IL gives an excellent
flavor.
When whipping cream beat slowly
for the first two minutes and then very
rapidly.
Instead OF boiling beetroots roast
them In the oven. The flavor will be
much improved.
II bacon is soaked in water for few
minutes before frying 1t will prevent
the fat from running.
Save the vinegar left over from
pickles II is better than ordinary
vinegar for salad dressing.
Gold embroidery may be cleaned
when 1t furnishes with brush dipped
In burned. and pulvurized rock alum.
When washing saucepans be sure to
lay them in front of the fire for FIVE or
ten minutes, so that they may dry
thoroughly inside, and so prevent de.
teriorating through getting rusty.
