Well to look Up Guaranteed Analysis
Before Buying Lime Ashes-State-
ment of Source and Value.

At this time it seems advisable to
make a statement as to the source and
value of lime ashes. They are by
product from lime kilns and are varia
BILE in composition. They are made up
of mixture Of ashes and small pieces
of burned lime which drop to the bot
tom of the kiIns. In many cases the
ashes are from soft wood and there IS
a large percentage of lime which results
in d mixture which contains little if
any potash, as one might infer from
the term "hme ashes.' Manufacture
ers, who by law are required to give
/ a guaranteed analysis with each bag,
| seldom make any statement as to the
potash content, and sometimes 90 so
far as to state on the tags that they
positively make no guarantee on pot
ash. \ man who buys lime ashes to
get potash stands a good chance OF
! getting fooled unless there is Il positiv,
| potash guarantee on each bag. At thi,
time there are no manufacturers who
will fail TO give a potash guarantee il
they are sure that the product contains
potash.
The lime in lime ashes is equal, but

called to a lot of lime ashes whicl
were guaranteed to contain 80 per cen
lime, but nothing else of value. Thes
lime ashes cost $50 per ton when til
same amount of actual lime could hav
been purchased in the form of groun

Claim from Austrian Capital
That Ancona's Crew Was
Badly Frightened
LOSS OF SINGLE LIFE
WAS UNNECESSARY
Boats Were Lowered When Ship Was
Moving at Il Miles an Hour and
Were Quickly Swamped - Ancona
Fled When Warning Was Given.

VIENNA, Nov. II. - The full re
port of the commander of the sub
marine which sank the Italian Ancona
in the Mediterranean had not been re-
ceiyed here last night, but the report
on which the statement sent out Sun
day by the Austro-Hungarian admiral
ty was based showed, according to au-
thoritative officials, that the loss of a
single life was unnecessary.
1t is alleged that the crew of the An
coma were panic-stricken from the be
ginning and actually lowered life
boats while the ship was moving at IA
miles an hour. These boats naturally
were swamped, but it is ascertained
that there were still enough Hfeboats tc
save everybody. Furthermore, the
charge is made that the members OF

Spread Patriotic Ideals.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE diree.
tors of the Navy League gathered in
conference yesterday, following the dem.
onstration for national defense by Amer
lean women. Reports have been re
ceived of the progress of the organiza.
ton in each state, and these are so en-.
couraging that plans for the future cx,
tension of the work toward prepared.
ness will be devised. The idea of inves-
tigating the resources of the country
toward registering and organizing them
so that they may be available for the
country's defense quickly and without
confusion, viii be threshed cut and
some plan of action along this line will
be adopted.
The Navy league will also take up
the plans for making the league an in
strumcnt for the spread of ideals of
national service and practical patrio-
tism.

the crew pre-empted the boats and
rowed far from the steamer, the cap
tain of which had been allowed almost
90 minutes for the safe removal Of
those aboard. An Austrian official re
marked incidentally that the same
panic-stricken conduct was reported in
the case of the Italian crew of the
liner Firenze which was sunk after
the Ancona.
1t is announced that the government
had in its possession the original in
structions to all Italian ship masters
to attempt to ram q submarine or es-
cape, depending on the relative po-
sitions at the time of an attack 1t is
pointed out in official quarters at

MOTHER REVEALS
 KITCHEN SECRET

Mother! How did you do it :" Mother had been shopping all after noon and was all dressed up in a be- coming street frock. Yet few min utes after her return the family sat down to a delicious meal cooked with out wasted heat, danger or drudgery. The bread was perfectly baked. There was an excellent roast, full Of flavor and very tender. The pie was baked to just the right turn and the coffee had been quickly boiled-
 No wonder the children were pug Ned. They were curious to know how it had been done. Mother smiled. When the last crumb of the f1aky pie had disappeared, she led them into the kitchen and told them the wonderful news that every housewife should know.
 The big secret in the kitchen was new electric stove, that bakes, roasts steWs, fries, bOils quite unlike the old fashioned cook stoves with their heat and waste, soot and dirt. She showed them an oven with a capacity Of three lOaves of bread, two pies, ten pound roast or two layer cakes. With a simple adjustment two open range burners make possible frying, steWing broiling and other cooking operations.

THE SPANISH JADE"
 AT KEENEY'S THEATER

The fascinating romance ana tra- Gedy: '"The Spanish Jade, Will De featured for the last time at heeney $ theater this evening. This paramount picture is in six films aboundlng With stirring incidents which keep the audl- ence interested throughout.
 Five new general films, which are nothing but first-run, will appear on the program this evening"
 The three vaudeville sketches Whlch have been performing at the theater this week will bring their acts to close this evening. It is the opinion of the patrons of this popular show house that these acts are by far the best that have been seen here in some time.
 Although each has been performing here all week it is still a difficult mat ter to decide on which has the best act as each is of high calibre. The se ven merry camp mates have turn which has proven to be very popular V ith the patrons Their songs are of the latest and the scenery in the camp is very artistic. That they are musi- clans of no mean ability is demon strated by their band. Atlantis, Fisk and Jack have an act that is most pleasing while Caillouette has an act tbat is strictly individual. He per- forms on a unicle juggling batons.

| a. week too. ::that brings huge re- 1 turn calls I had 96S people at my 1 first home, and I try to return these
 calls very promptly. So every day, l after a luncheon engagement, we just call"
 Calls and Likes It. But just as we had plunged into l that question which Mrs. Daniels had answered, we plunged out Of it. For l that subject for Mrs. Daniels to say: 1 she calls and she likes it, and the rest of Washington says that she makes excellent work of it. call that efficiency-to do the thing you have to do with zest and with success. So necessarily Mrs. Daniels began to talk about other things. To start the conversational ball, ] put to her that time-honored, threadb bare ques- tiOn, are you suffragist? No, 1 am not" she replied bright ly, not in the least. 1 don't object to women in politics, but 1 don't want to be there myself. Anyway in North Carolina, my home state, women have property rights and an educational vote, and I've never felt the lack of representation you see. Also, l have five votes, you know"
 ''Five?" (Mild inquiry accompanieu by higher mathmatics.)
 Wants Boys to Think for Themselves
 Yes; my husbands and four sons. But that is only a joke, of course. l should never think of really trying to influence the men in my family to vote as I thought might be best. l want my boys to think for them selves"
 She laughed. Mrs. Daniels has spontaneous little laugh and you find yourself laughing too, without any aWfully adequate reason. You just laugh and she tells you why later.
 They do think for themselves, too, in rather startling way sometimes. My second son for example has known ever since he was very, very tiny that he wanted to be surgeon"
 oh, yes, everybody says I'm domes- tic,' she said in answer to my approv- ing observation, but certainly Pm not in home very much during the sea son. Most always I am in the morn ing, for l like to see the boys before they go to school and at their lunch con, but after one it's a pretty busy day. There's always a luncheon en- SdSeHleAI WHICH lasts untll after three, and then calls, and then home to dress for dinner engagement. Doesn't leave much time for life on the terrace, does it?"
 Mrs. Daniels "A Fine Lady,
 1t doesn't So if a woman likes ter race life better than life on Chip pendale in drawing room, l should say she had better direct Toms career thither and away from Washington; the wife of the village postmaster has time to manufacture hosiery for the Belgians, but the wife. of diplomat calls on the Belgian Minister. And again, if you ever do go to Washing ton with a cabinet husband, be all the things that Mrs. Daniels is, for as everybody down there says, She's fine lady"
