THRILLING EXPER|ENC
Of ENGINEER GOsS

BUFFALO, N. Y, April 16.-Eng;-
neer Goss tells a thrilling story of his
experience with the robbers, none Of
whom had been captured at 2:20 this
afternoon. The bandits forced the en-
CINE crew to uncouple the locomotive
from the train and run it a short dis
lance. They then lined up the en-
ginemen and train crew beside a box
car and one of the bandits stood
guard, while the others completed the
task of emptying the cars. Engineer
Goss, watching his opportunity, made
a break for liberty and escaped, a fu-
silade of shots being fired at him as
he ran. Reaching the engine, Engi-
neer Goss opened the throttle and ran
at full speed to Suspension Bridge, 3
miles away, from where the first news
of the hold-up was flashed to Buffalo

A Snort Cut in Bread Mixing-For
the housewife who makes quantity of
bread each week and feels that she
cannot afford bread mixer, l would
like to tell how l surmounted this diff
ficulty and yet produced perfect bread
l sifted large sieveful of flour into a
deep pan, warmed it slightly and
worked through it thoroughly a lump
of shortening as large as an egg and
one rounded tablespoonful of salt.
Then l made hole in the center and
poured in the following ingredients
that had been mixed together: One
pint each of milk and water that have
been scalded and cooled, a scant half
cupful of sugar and two cupfuls of
good soft yeast. Then l sifted flour
over the top, covered it closely and
set it in moderately warm place.
when the sponge was light, stirred
all together and beat it for three or
mil 7 IL - !
then added sufficient warmed flour to
make soft loaf, and mixed it for only
five minutes. This amount makes
three medium-sized loaves and a pam
full of biscuit. They will need no
greasing to soften the crusts, for the
crust is delicious and every particle
of the bread is edible. Bake for fifty
minutes in a modern oven.-Mrs. ]. K.

Starch for Black Wash Dresses
Take black dye and dissolve it as YOU
would for colorffg;t then bottle it and
set aside. When ready to stiffen thin
black wash dresses, take some good
laundry starch, dilute it quite thin,
strain a little of the dye and pour
enough into the starch to make good
clear black. Apply as ordinary starch.
This never will show on the goods and
will iron beautifully-B. c. Carper,

Moth ExterminatiOn-It will be only
a short time before careful house
keepers are thinking of putting away
their winter clothes. For a pleasant
preventive against the destructive
moth, can recommend the following:
Fill two or three cold-cream jars or
any wide-mouthed bottles with. sea-
salt and saturate it with oil of cedar.
Put these into the closet where your
winter clothing is stored and you will
find this a most effective moth exter-
minator The odor from cedar is rath-
er pleasant, which makes it a great
improvement over moth balls or cam

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees With Him About Food

A trained nurse says: TN the prac-
tice of my profession I have found so
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that I unhesitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate (an essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being sOftened with milk or cream for
babies or the aged when deficiency of
teeth renders mastication impossible.
For fever patients or those on liquid
water very nourishing and refreshing.
This recipe is my own iGea and is
made as follows: Soak a. teaspoonfUl
of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white Of an egg and d spoonful
of fruit juice for flavOuring. This af-
fOrds a great deal of nOurishmeut that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
Hate without any distress.
MY husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
Personally I regard a dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-weIl or
sick"
