TITANIC HELD
RESPONSIBLE
Court Ruled That in Case Where Ship
Had Been Warned Of Danger II
Should Have Changed Course.

London, Feb. l0.-The Court OF APP.
peals yesterday dismissed the appeal
OF the White Star Steamship Company
and declared invalid the conditions
printed on the steamships tickets ex-
empting the company from liability
from loss by passenger even through
the negligence of the company's serv-
ants.
The question of the legality of this
exempting clause was raised in test
brought by an Irish farmer, claiming
damage for the loss of his son in the
Titanic disaster.
Lord Justice Sir Roland Vaughan
Williams said he thought the danger
to the Titanic was neither unforeseen
nor unforeseeable, and that practice
did not justify vessel in maintain
ing her course and speed when the
warnings of dangers ahead were such
as the Titanic received.
The clause on the back of the ticket
exempting the company from liability
for negligence was, he declared, in
valid.

GRADUATED HONEY.
May Be Returned to Liquid State by
Heating 1850 Degrees F.

Many housewives do not understand
how to treat graduated honey and
some think this Is mark of impurity.
AS mater of fact honey will granu-
late after 1t has been taken from the
bees for awhile. some time in ten
days and at other times it will be
two months or longer, owing to the
temperature of the weather and the
ripeness of the honey. Cool or cold
weather hastens the crystalization or
granulation. The quality OF the honey
is in no wise affected by granulation,
but in reality it keeps better so. Such
honey can be returned to a delicious
liquid state simply by heating the
honey to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In
heating place the vessel containing
the honey in some other vessel con-
tanning water, and place something
under the vessel containing the honey
to hold it up little so that the steam
will not force out the water and
scorch the honey. In case of glass
jars, place in cold water and bring to
a heat. In case of five-gallon tin cans
place in a wash kettle, 1t will take
from two hours with a quart jar to
ten hours for a five-gallon can. In
case of comb honey the wax will melt
but can be taken off when cold,
If the honey is heated to a tempera-
ture higher than 100 degrees Fahren-
heit, it will be turned little red and
taste a little cooked. For those who
have no thermometer heat the honey
to about two-thirds boiling. If the
honey is boiled it will not granulate
again but will not taste so well.
Honey should not continue to be sub
jected to a high temperature after it
has attained 100 degrees Fahrenheit,
as such continuation will cause it to
| deteriorate in flavor - Galveston
