ALLEGED OUTRAGE.

Mrs. Lucy Cothran who lives
between HOrnbeak and the Lake,
was here Monday looking to the
investigation Of the outrage she
alleges recently perpetrated on
her. She states that three mask
ed men came TO her home about
midnight, tied her little l3 year
old boy in the kitchen, then at
tackled, cursed, struck and tied
her on her back in bed, lashing
feet and hands TO the four cor
ners of the bed. They then
heated an iron and scared her alb
domen, also inflicting other UNI
mentionable atrocities that a Co
manche Indian would scorn to do.
The people of that locality ought
to sound this matter to the re-
hottest bottom. She was reared
near Chicago and moved here
with her fist husband II years
ago. Her husband, George Goth
ran, left her a few months ago.
A very threatening and vulgar
note was recently left on her
front gallery. She is about forty
years of age, vigorous and well
built-Union City News-Sanner.

no ene,' Is verified by the demand for firearms to be made in this country But why accept these blood stained accursed dollars so that the Europ- cans may continue their crazy con- fict?
 It is easily answered by the adage, Money is the root of all evil" Money evidently is the incentive which in- duced the industries to aid and abet this dammable warfare-a warfare, which on October 4, 1914, a day set apart by President Wilson, the churches unitedIy offered petitions to God that it might cease. What in- consistency, to pray for peace and then make implements to continue war! Now, Mir. Gunmaker, before you accept another European order for weapons, just for a moment stop and think of what you are doing. Think of the millions of precious lives that are lost and will continue to be sacrf- feed. Think of the vacant homes Thir< of the fatherless children that will bear the marks of this awful conflict even to their graves. Think of slaughteTing women and children and of the killing of Edith CaveH Think of all these things and then think-if you can think of anything but money-that some of your guns may belch their deadly missiles or this country. These conditions seem to indicate that the millennium which some are at this moment preaching is near at hand, is far 1T the future.

TO PRESERVE CUT FLOWERS.

The only drawback to cut flowers is that they wither so quickly, and in keeping them fresh some seem to have more luck than others. For in stance. the matter of violets, it is possible to wear them several times without noticing the overpowering stale odor which proclaims them be- people find that they cannot wear cut flowers even for one afternoon, because, in some cases the body heat seems to wilt them, but if this can be avoided it is quite possible to find a bunch almost as fresh the sec ond Jay as on the first, if they were properly guarded over night.
 Keep the box that they came in and when you take them off hold a few minutes. taking care not to wat the violets themselves. Then wrap them up in the oiled paper and put them back in the covered box outside the window if it is cool if not in the refrigerator, but in either case keep them wrapped This treatment seems to resore the flow CTS and hold in the delicious odor whick so soon becomes rank if they are kept unwrapped in close room
 Some people think a pinch of salt in the water will keep cut flowers fresh longer and so it does in some cases. In others it seems to change the coiors a little. With roses it is successful, but not so much so with violets. A piece of gum camphor is said to be an excellent preservative small lump of charcoal, but in any case the water should be changed daily and the flowers put in a cool place over night.

REPRESENTATIVES, COAL TAX.

There has just been handed down by the supreme court of Pennsylvania a decision which declares that the an- thracite coal tax law is not valid. This means that there is in the hands of the coal operators a sum amounting to about nine million dollars, which has been collected from the people through the retailers for the purpose of meeting a tax which is not legal and which will not be collected. The question now arises as to what the operators will do with the money.
 There can be little or no question as to where the money belongs. When in 1913 Pennsylvania passed that anthracite law to give certain sections of the state the benefit of what would be gained through such taxation, the operators set to work to get the money necessary to meet the tax from the other fellow. They tackled the amount onto the retailers bill and the retailer passed it on to the consumer. It meant an additional 25 cents a ton which the public has had to pay in anticipation of the claim of Pennsylvania for two years.
 Though it presents big difficulties that money should be returned to those from whom it was collected. They are the only ones who are entitled to it for certainly it does not belong to the coal operators. and any retention of ii would be open to the charge of get ting money under false pretenses. How they are going to wash their hands o1 this money is something for the oper- ators to worry about. and while the l suggestion which has been made that it be returned through reduction ir | price for the next two years might not get it all back just where it be- longs, it would mean much good tc the general public. The one regret table thing, however, is that it has re- quired two years to find out that the law was unconstitutional

RECIPES,

Peach Puddins-Sift one pint of four with one teaspoon of baking powder, one-half teaspoon of salt and one-half teaspoon of sugar. Work in to this two tablespoons of lard. Mix with three -fourths cup of very cold water Have all the ingredients very cold, mix quickly and handle as lit tie as possible. Roll out thin. Take the half of a preserved peach for the core of each dumpling. Cut the dough into pieces just large enough to wrap the halves of peaches, roll up and bake in a quick oven. Serve with hard sauce favored with sirup from the beaches.
 Baked Custard-E'our cups scalded milk, six eggs, one-laf cup sugar, teaspoon salt, few gratings of nutmeg. Beat eggs slightly, ad sugar and salt, pour on slowly scalded milk, strain in buttered mold, set in pan of hot water, Sprinkle with nutmeg and bake in a slow oven until firm-which may be readily determined by running a sil- yer knife through custard.

Stories of the War
Awardina British MsdaIs-

Why the young navy officer who swam ashore from a British sub mariEc in the sea of Marmora and blew up the Isnid railway bridge in spite ot the Turkish guard should re- ceive only the Distinguished Service Order has astonished the public, since so many lesser heroes have re- aeived the greater honor of the Vic toria Cross. But the award was made under a rule that has long ob- tained in the services. Even Lieut. Holbrco oke would have obtained mere ly the D. s. O. for taking his sub marine through the mine field of the Dardarelles and sinking a Turkish warship had not the King himself in- tervened.
 Blythe unwritten law of the service the Victoria Cross is awarded for a deed of great gallantry performed without orders, and generally for saving lives under fire. The D. s. O. is fqr gallantry in following orders Yet Lieut.. Guy Hughes, in blowing up the IsInid bridge acted on his own initiative from the time he left his boat until he was picked up again, and in popular opinion should have received the more coveted medal It Is a good deal like the case of Lieut..

 The railways from Nish and Nitro vitza meet here, whence they proceed. as a trunkline to the Tport of Salonfki. Among the thoroughfares radiating from the city are a road northwest to Prizren, one to the west, to the com merciai center, Gostivar, and one east northeast to Kumanovo. which last named takes its way through a nar- TOW valley to the Bulgarian frontier. It is along this road that the Bulgar- lans fought their way. Another inn portant road runs south to Koprili, and, thence. southwest to Monstir, one of the best-sheltered cities in the land under the conditions of the present war.
 Tn normal years, Uskup does con- siderable business, of an average value of about S5,000,000- The staples of it's commerce are opium, grain, live stock fruit and tobacco. Its principal manu- factureS are leather and dye-stuffs. It's industries include also weaving, metal working, and the production of flour and wine. Uskup continues the tradi- tions of the ancient city of Scupi, whicE was destroyed by an earth quake in SIS. Justinian rebuilt the city and gave it the name of Justin jana prima. and in the early Middle Ages it served at times as the capital of Servian Tsars."

THANKSGIVING DAY GOODIES.

The Thanksgiving pie, of course, means pumpkin pie. But if fresh or canned pumpkin is not obtainable and pumpkin pie therefore out of the question. fortunately there are sub- gtitutes which resemble the genuine article so. closely both in flavor and appearance. that your family will not know the difference unless you tell them If you cannot obtain pump kin, try a squash. Failing that, you can use carrots; or a sweet potato pie is excellent, though it does not taste as much like pumpkin pie as either of the others.
 In selecting a squash for pie, choose one which cooks up smooth and fine. The best for the purpose has flesh of a rich orange color. The hub bard and kindred varieties are too dry and harsh to make smooth cus- tard.
 A pumpkin or squash occasionally will be found with a thin layer of bitter flesh next to the seed cavity. It is necessary, when this is the case, to cut or scrape away the bitter DOT ton. If there is no bitterness, do not scrape the surface of the seed cavity any more than is needful to remove the coarse. spo1gy substance in which the seeds are irnbedded.-Wom oman s HTCrId

OLD LAMP FRAME.

Have you in your collection of relics wire frame left from a worn out lamp? If so the following sugges- ton will make it possible for you to rip out the frame and put it to good use. After removing the dust get the exact measurements from top to bot tom and the size of the open space at the Ftop. With these figures in your mind or on your memorandum pad, buy sufficient asbestos to cover the entire frame or buy muslin and lambs wool to make padding to be placed around the frame. Then pur- chase sufficient silk. linen or cretonne to cover the heat proof frame. At the top of the shade place a dolls head to act as a handle. or if your finer sensibilities will not permit of such thing use a loop of cording for the purpose. By this time you are anxious to know what is to be done with the covered frame. It is to act as a cozy for your teapot.
