"A receivership was the only alter

Unable to Meet Obligations
The immediate cause of the receiv-
ership was the maturity of obliga-

Among these was bill for $4,000
due the American Steel Foundries
company which, through counsel
made the application for receiver.
Ninety'fve per cent of the stock
of the company is held by the Chica-
go, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad
company, already in the hands of a
receiver. The entire stock OF the
latter company in turn is held by the
Rock Island company which, while 1t
has not confessed insolvency, is said
to have no assets Of value, they hav-

failure OF the railroad company. Both
of these corporations were holding

which was the operating concern,
could earn above its own dividend

state Of Georgia had denied Leo NJ.

constitution in sentencing him TO
death for the murder of Mary Pha-

Hughes concurred.

courts to have Franks life. His at

days in which to file an application

A celebrated chef has given the
three following recipes for cooking
potatoes In a most dainty way, and
which, though but seldom seen ex-
cept at restaurants, and yet within
the capacity of the average woman
who attends to her own cooking.
For SouffIee Potatoes
Peel and carefully trim the pota.
toes square, then cut them into slices
one eighth of an inch thick and about
an inch and half long, wash them
in cold water, and dry thoroughly.
Then put them into moderately hot
fat. AS soon as the potatoes are
placed in the pan heat the fat gradu
ally until they are cooked which they
will be when they rise. Drain them
in the frying basket and at once i'm.
merse them into fresh and hotter
fat. The fresh insertion effects
the pulling which results from the
sudden contact with the heat. Leave
the potatoes to dry, drain on a
stretched piece Of linen, salt moder-
ately and dish up.
Another Recipe for souffIee Potatoes
Prepare a pint of mashed potatoes
with cream or milk add to them the
raw yolks of three eggs and the
whites beaten to a stiff froth, ar
range in buttered soufflee sauce
pan or in small porcelain cups, and
cook like ordinary soufflee.
This is a particularly nourishing
dish, as 1t includes the eggs and is
most suitable for vegetarian meals
=. Mashed Potatoes
To make, peel and quarter the pc.
tatoes and cook quickly In sailed
water. When they feel soft to the
touch drain them, rub through a
sieve and work the PURGE vigorously
with three ounces Of butter to the
pound of potatoes. Then add little

milk in order to bring the PURGE 70

When cooking soufflee potatoes dry
the potatoes thoroughly after wash

careful to see that the second lot OF
