SOME USEFUL HINTS

II vegetables are overlooked, their
texture toughens, and their flavor
is somewhat destroyed.
All milk buildings intended to be
eaten at luncheon should be prepar-
ed as soon as breakfast things are
cleared away.
Cakes should not be placed in a
cold place or at an open window to
cool. The steam will condense and
make them heavy.
Boiled puddings should never be
turned out the moment they are done.
They are very likely to break If
this Is done.
In making a plain omelet 1t is bet.
ter to add hot water than milk AZ
1t makes it much more tender.

Double Murder,
Single Suicide
An American and His Daughter Are
Killed on Island Of St. Andres,
on Columbian Coast

Panama, Friday, April 2.--The lit
tie island st. Andres, off the north
coast Of Colombia has just been the
scene OF triple tragedy involving
an American and his daughter and a
native physician, who recently grad
uated from an American medical
school in Memphis, Tenn. According
to information arriving by schooner
DR.. u. Pussy, first killed a Miss
Robinson and then shot her father,
Theodore Robinson, later turning his
revolver upon himself, blowing out
his brains.
For some time the doctor had been
a frequent visitor at the home of the
Robinsons and finally paid Miss Rob,
inson marked attention. His suit,
however, was not viewed with favor
by the young womans parents and
the physician was given to under,
stand that he must cease his Wis,
its.
On the morning Of March 23, Miss
Robinson, accompanied by friends,
started on horseback ride into the
country. A short distance from the
little town they were met by DR..
Pussey, who demanded that Miss
Robinson accompany him to his Of.
flee. This she refused to do. The
doctor then fired one shot from his
revolver into the back Of her head
killing her instantly.
Later the physician met Mr.. Rob
inson who had heard of his daugh,
tiers death. He was also killed in
stantIy The doctor then went to his
oAice where he committed suicide.

War Correspondent
In Daily Attendance
at San Diego Fair.

San Diego, April 12.-Declaring
that the real cause Of the European
war was the jealousy between the
belligerent nations for commercial
supremacy and expansion, Irving
Cobbs, noted war correspondent,
does not see any end for the gigantic
struggle until one side is de,isively
beaten and its resources exhausted.
Cobb. who has just returned from Eu-
rope and whose articles on the war
in the Saturday Evening Post are
attracting widespread attention is
visitor at the San Diego Exposition.
II came here to drink in the beau.
ties of this great exposition" said
Cobb who is a daily visitor at the
grounds. "As | stand here and look
over this wide expanse of beauty and
peacefulness what a striking contrast
on the European battlefelds. There
all is strife and devastation. Here
all is prosperity and happiness. over

there Is anything nearer hell than

al Sherman was right"
Cobb declares he Is taking a much
needed rest but plans to go back and
resume his work in Europe in May.
Cobb does not appear to have lost his
humorous vein even though he has
been associated with an atmosphere
conclusive to all things excepting COM
edy. Good nature radiates from ev'
cry inch of him and the fact that
he has never been accused OF being
a handsome man he considers quite
a joke. He is never nettled when a
jibe is given about his personal APP
pearance or build and sees humor in
such references as: Cobb is not
prize beauty.

A LITTLE FoRETHoUGHT
FOR eLEMlsHEs

Sometimes an over indulgence In
French pastry. and Ice cream order,
or even carelessness when cleansing
the face, will cause little skin blotch-
es to appear. Let judicious fore
thought rule ones daily diet and the
skin will assume its own natural del
icacy without much fretting about 1t.
Young girls are more prone to ex-
travagant delicacies than their wise
elders.
The permanent marks, moles, warts
or brown spots may in some cases,
be removed by a physician. The OPP
Grafton is slight--a tiny strip OF skin
cut out, the edges sewn up and heal
ed, leaving only fine white scar in
place of the unsightly blemishes.
But such matters should be left
as we'll as those disorders of the d.
gestion, which makes skin eruptions.
You may, however, treat some sur.
face marks yourself.
Blackheads are pores, clogged with
dust and they must be cleaned and
whitened. Fill bowl with boiling
hot water and steam your face by
holding 1t close to the water.
OF the steaming process may be
done by soaking bath towels In hot
water and applying them to the face
while they are almost scalding hot q.
Wash the face and neck thoroughly
before steaming and use cold cream
afterward to remove any dirt which
may still remain In the pores.

ATTRACTIVE TRIMMINGS
ON NEW MILLINERY

Representations of fruits and nuts
are now seen on millinery. Fruits
have, of course, been copied for some
time but nuts are quite new in the
millinery realm and d very attractive
trimming they make, especially when
accompanied by berries and foliage.
Kid, suede and chenille novelties are
all good and tailored hats ere revel
ing in them.
Ribbons are to play an important
part in the trimming OF hats, espe
cially the tailored hats. These mar
row ribbons are usually OF gros grain
or faille. There is, too, a tendency
to high luster satin ribbons of q
more obvious width, ornamented with
fancy edge. This last described mil
livery ribbon is known as Georgettc
ribbon" 1t is TO be held in all the
new shades. Wide MORE bows are
considered in good standing for q
certain type of hat. With some Of
rne quaint poke fashions for the sum
mer velvet hairbands will be WON.
Large buttons covered with plaid
silk are used on the severe type OF
hat.
The vogue of pressed flowers is
pretty one and one finds very fiat
flower effects laid within the brims
of double yelling chiffon, wired at the
edge to keep them in position.

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are many. Disordered kidneys often
excrete thick, cloudy, offensive

GERMAN CONCERN
WAS TOO STRONG

Paris, April 9.--The debate which
has begun In the Chamber of Depu-
ties on the law prohibiting CONNER
eial relations of French citizens with
Germany and Austria Hungary has
developed some interesting facts re-
gardlng the competition French in
dustries have suffered on their own
soil from German enterprises.
In chemical products particularly
the smaller distinctively French
houses are declared to have been
Systematically understood by power
full German corporations one of them
with a capital of $6O,OOO,O0o. These
German enterprises II is stated not
only monopolized the commerce in
dyes and other chemical products, but
furnished employment to none but
workers of their own nationality. AS
soon as a French house endeavored
to compete, prices were reduced to
the point that 1t was impossible for
1t to live. >,
One speaker declared that not only
had they monopolized the trade in
these products but through the facil'
ity afforded by the laws governing
trade marks they had found ways OF
utilizing the discoveries of French
scientists.

ed under such conditions that they
cannot possibly do any harm to any
neighboring flock.
While some such plan as this is
probably Indispensable to the full
development of the sheep industry
In the United States. there are eases
where the flock master will find In
Its absence the use of dog proof
fences very desirable. The grazing
OF sheep upon comparatively small
areas Of land sown to forage crops,
instead Of upon permanent pantures
in larger fields, materially reduces
the area to be fenced and makes this
practicable precaution. In the
west fences have been built which
prove a satisfactory defence against
coyotes, and the fences that will
turn aside a coyote will turn a dog.
A fence Of this character can be
built as follows:
Posts seven and a half feet in
length, set two and half feet in
the ground and 16 feet apart; a barb
ed wire stretched fiat to the surface,
of the ground; three inches higher
36 inch woven wire fence having
inch triangular mesh; five inches
higher barbed wire; six inches
second barbed wire; seven inches
above this a third barbed wire. To
tai height fifty seven inches.
1t is important to remember, how.
ever, that the bottom strand of barb
ed wire must be stretched fiat on the
surface of the ground at all points.
II necessary the ground should be
graded before the fence is built.
Thereafter such small holes as ap.
pear may be filled in. 1t is not al
ways necessary to fen.e the entire
pasture, for dogs usually attask sheep
at night only. II sufficient area
can be fenced to give the flock FRO
lection during the night, therefore,
they may be safely left in uninclos.
ed pastures through the day. This
method involves certain loss Of
time in driving the sheep to and from
the Enclosure, but in many cases will
be preferred to the expense of feno.
ing on large scale.

Scenes Of Wild
Excitement on New
York Stock Market

New York, April 10.-Scenes OF
wild excitement attended the renew
al of operations on the stock ex.
change today. The trading floor was
crowded with members and the Wis
itors' gallery was lined with special
ors, many Of them women In gay at
tire. Overnight buying orders and
a further stampede of the short in
terest lifted prices throughout the
list, gains extending from 1 to 3
points in speculative favorites and
specialties.
United States Steel again was the
chief feature, opening with block
of $4,000 shares at 81 1.2 to 81 8 4 and
soon advanced to So. Bethlehem
Steel was the only prominent stock
to hold back, declining 2 points. Rock
Island was the most erratic issue, ris.
ing almost 4 points.
Trading during the first half hour
was on the largest scale for that per-
iod in the recent history Of the ex.
change. Recsssions, ranging from a
fraction to 2 points, ensued soon af-
ter the initial outburst on heavy pro
fit taking.
Prices recovered from lowest lev.
els before the close but failed to re.
peat their best quotations Of the first
hour. Sales for the two hours ag-
gregated 100000 shares, the largest
total for Saturday in six years.
