To Make Bacon Go Further.

Before frying the breakfast bacon
always cut off the rinds and dip the
rasher in flour. The bacon seems to
shrink much less than if put in the
pan as 1t is, and it looks nicer, too.
The rinds go into the stock pot, of
course, after being washed and well
scraped, as they improve the flavor of
soup tremendously.

GERMANS AND RUSS
In FIERCE BATTLE
ON WARSAW FRONT
Important Successes of Russians in Carpathans Announc
ed in PetrOgrad Dispat ches; 2,7OO Austrians Re-
ported Captured; Rumanians Victorious in Battle
With Austrians, Following an Invasion Of Rumanian
Territory

The German attack in Central Po-
land thus far has failed to make gap
in the Russian lines which would open
the way to Warsaw and apparently
the only result of the battle has been
heavy losses on both sides. Petrograd
has announced the capture of several
German positions, but the general
alignment of the opposing armies has
not been changed materially. Minor
victories there and in Northern Po-
land are reported by the Russian war
office to-day.
There is no slackening of activity in
the Carpathians, where the Austrians,
assisted by German reinforcements,
are struggling with the Russians for
mastery of the mountain passes which
give access to Northern Hungary. I'M
portant successes of the Russians in
several engagements are announced
olhclally at PetroSrad. 1t is said that
Austrian attacks broke down and that
in addition to inflicting heavy losses
on their opponents, the Russians cap
tured 2.700 prisoners
Rumanians Victorious
private dispatch from Nish, Ser
/ bia describes a battle between Ru-
manian and Austrian troops which is
said to have resulted from Austrian in
Vaslon of Rumanian soil, in the direc-
ton of an important strategic position
which controls the only Serbian posi-
ton on the Danube permitting com
munication with Rumania. Accord
ing to this dispatch the Austrians were
defeated and driven back. There is no
conhrmaton, however. of the Nish
report.

z PERSONS MAY HAVE
BEEN BURIED ALIVE
Story of Former Nurse at Odd
Fellows Home Is Partly
Verified
gy Associated Press

Yonkers, y. Y, Feb. S.-To the story
that eight feeble inmates of the Ger
man odd Fellows Home here had been
put to death because they were aged
and required much attention, was add
ed to-day the suggestion that two 9TH
er inmates might have been buried
alive while still under the influence of
an anaesthetic. 1t was believed that at
least two of the bodies will be ex-
humed.
The coroner to-day began in investi-
cation. There was little tangible evil
dence for him to work on except re-
ports founded in the fears of the pres
ent inmates with whom they held a
long talk yesterday. The New York
undertakers who took charge of the
bodies were to be questioned as to
what steps they had taken to make
sure that life was extinct before bur
ial.
Henry Blum, an embalmer ques-
toned to-day by the coroner, con-
flrmed a statement imputed to Fred
Mors, a former nurse who told the
district attorney he had caused the
death of three inmates, in relation to
the death of Henry Horn, December
20. Blum told the coroner, il was
said, that when he took charge of
Horns body he noticed a burn on the
mouth and asked Mors about It and
that Mors explained IL had been made
by cloth saturated with anaesthetic
tied about the dead mans face to
hold his mouth shut
The bodies of all the eight inmates
who Mors said were put to death were
embalmed before burial, Blum said.

The missive was found in the cellar

to move his family soon. With the
note was found his wallet, containing
all the cash money he possessed; his

which followed the cessation of the
fierce German aggressive in the re-

German troops northward to initiate
new defence in the East Prussian
country which lies between Tilsit, Gum

an opportunity for the long -heralded
offensive.
