JUDGE RELEASES GIRL MURDER
SUSPECTS OUT ON BONDS
Tales of the cruelty of Emanuel
Byers, who was shot and killed by
his two sisters, won freedom for the
girls on bonds of $4,000 because
Judge Petit, who was hearing the ap-
pication for release; decided that kill
ing such man could not be worse
than manslaughter.
The testimony of Lillian Graham,
niece. of the sisters, Mrs. Emma Hut
ton and Miss Lillian ByeTs, held for
the killing, was the deciding factor
in the case. She told the judge how
Beyers had abused his sisters just
for bringing the COWS home late and
he had hit one with pitchfOrk be-
fore the girls shot him.
The sisters held as murder suspects
described many beating they had re-
ceived at the hands Of their dead
brother and of oft-repeated threats
on their lives.
Mrs. Amanda Graham, sister of the
suspects, told the Judge of Beyers'
alleged actions.

with his fists because the COWS had
not been brought in quick enough

on the fence when he grabbed her

les. He kicked our father on the hips,

slIohs FIavors Change Dishes.

Many of the simplest dishes may be
greatly changed in flavor II little at
tention is given to the matter of sea-
soning Those who have not tried il
should use little nutmeg for season
ing when next serving spinach. Just
a few coriander seeds will giorify the
dish of beets. Use a sprinkling of
grated cheese with creamed cau.i-
flower. It is delicious. Drop two or
three cloves into the vegetable soup
and see how the flavor Of the various
vegetables is accumulated and yet
blended. Curry powder too often Is
confined to the sauce served with
chicken. Use a shaking or two with
brussels sprouts. Pimentos may be
used to advantage not only in salads
and in preparing sandwiches or can
apes. but the cook who discovered that
they give zest to the oyster soup de-
serves the thanks Of every epicnre.

GOOD PLAIN PLUM PUDDING
Favorite Dessert That Is Not Too Rich
for the stomaehs Of Young
Children

Have some water In 4 kettle or dish
already boiling and make a stiff paste
with the following ingredients: One
quarter pound each of fine chopped
suet. dried currants and raisins. one
pint wheat flour, one-half teacup bread
crumbs, one well-beaten egg, o1ro-half
teaspoon cinnamon. one-quarter tea
spoon table salt and little cold water.
1t is well to mix suet, salt and flour
together before adding other ingredi-
.ents. Spread piece of clean, white
cotton cloth about II inches square on
bread or kneading board and -four 1t
and dredge cloth quite plentifully with
-four and tie with a strong. white cot
ton string This prepared. lower 1t
carefully into the boiling water and
keep 1t boiling steadily for fully "a
hours. Serve with hard or liquid sauce
whichever Is liked best. There should
be a rest of some sort at bottom OF
kettle or dish so that pudding bag will
not rest on or touch bottom of dish
while pudding Is boiling. To make
provision for this we prefer small

row pieces of wood joined together
with wooden pegs, thoroughly cleansed
so as to prevent taste of wood. After
pudding has boiled the required time
remove while water is still boiling. be-
fore removing kettle or dish from fire.

Bright's disease Is one OF the final
stages Of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills

When uric acid Is formed too fast

gets impure and heavy, there Is head

PAPER TOWELS AND NAPKINS
No Objection to Their Use When

Of the Linen ArticIes-

Many particular housekeepers with
large families are often temporarily
inconvenienced by finding the supply
of towels and table napkins has given
out before the laundry comes In. They
would be greatly pleased with the re-
suit. besides the wear and tear on the
linen being Iessened, by reinforcing
the supply with the paper towel.
Rolls of paper towels placed In the
bathroom for the hands of the school
children, who usually make sad havoc
of the white towel. are very practical
helps. A roll could also be placed in
the nursery to wipe smeary little
hands and faces. A roll could be
used in the kitchen to replace the
roller towel. A paper napkin looks
very well on the table tray as a sub
stitute for the linen napkin.

Brushing Up.

The other day the Fl. Lieber COM
pany, among other pictures displayed
in the show window, had one that
attracted special attention. It was a
large picture representing an immense
honess and four cubs. Together with
the praise bestowed on this group,
there was some criticism. What
fool artist got up that picture?" said
an elderly observer. Anyone ought to
know that two cubs is the limit for
any lioness. This word picked up
by listener was taken into the pic
ture house. This is rather overdo-
ing the cub business" said the critic.
ANY one ought to know that two
lion whelps are enough" The people
in the picture house were greatly dis
tressed under this criticism, until a
friend hunted up cyclopedia OF
natural history and read those lines:
From two to four whelps are pro-
duced at one time. They are bors with

CORN CAN BE GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES

Manitoba is now commencing 70
produces considerable corn. chiefly for
feeding purposes In some cases,
where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be profitable Investment.
According to the Farm and Ranch Re-
view, a correspondent visited a field
of corn In southern Manitoba on Sep
TENDER 2S. The corn then was I'M
touched by frost and 1t stood on an
average eight and nine feet In height.
The corn had developed into the
dough stage, and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many
able showing of the corn crop has
manifested itself. At the Brandon en-
perimental farm this year several va
rieties. all very good yielders. matured
into good silo corn.
Considering the success with which
corn can be produced. and the advan-
tages to be gained by so producing 1t.
should not 1t receive the serious at
tention of the western agriculturist?
Corn is successfully grown In the
northern part Of Minnesota in SINH
lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
TO be any reason why like results
should not be secured In western Can
ada. 1t Is the opinion of many Ameri-
can farmers of experience that the
corn belt is extending northward. The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms must be raised, and In
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops. II crops
suitable for wintering cattle and espe-
cially dairy stock are to be grown.
why should not corn be one OF these
crops? In Ontario and in the United
States we find 1t forms the main bulky
food for wintering beef and dairy cat
tie. They would not be without this
profitable plant In fact, since its In
PRODUCTION almost twice as much stock
can be retained on the same amount
Of land. besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean.
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown In Ontario and the
States cannot be grown here, but not
80 with corn. even now we find scat.
tered fields OF corn In Alberta and
Saskatchewan. --Advertisement
