Cleaning Pots and Pans,

Keep at hand a small quantity of
coarse cornmeal or coarse wheat bran,
and when cleaning greasy cooking
utensils rub a handful in the pan, ket-
tie or skillet. You will be surprised
how clear OF grease it will leave the
utensil. Wash it then in good soapy
water, scald and set to air before put
ting away. If one keeps chickens the
meal thus used is excellent in their
mash feed. If not. fold in a waste pa
per and burn. This way keeps the sink
clean and saves much hard work.

Never has the black evening gown
been so popular for both old and young.
Fashion, owing to the influence of Par
is. continues her allegiance to somber
shades. The fascinating evening frock
here pictured is Of black satin. Over
the satin fall three tunics Of accordion
plated net. a novel feature of the
frock is the wide girdle, Stimulating a
basque. This sirdle is of dull gold net
set with jet ornaments. The simple
little bodice is Of black velvet. a ma

I~ PERHAPS the most curious thing
WI after the murderer was known
was the story Of the people in
k the after house. 1t was months
before l got that in full. The belief
among the women was that Turner,
maddened by drink and unreasoning
jealousy, had killed Vail and then. run
ming amuck or discovered by the other
victims, had killed them. This was
borne out by Turner's condition. His
hands and parts of his clothing were
blood stained.
Their condition was pitiable. I'm
able to speak for himself, he lay raw
ing in his room, talking to Vail and
complaining of a white figure that
bothered him. The key that Elsa Lee
picked up was another clew, and in
their attempt to get rid Of it 1 had
foiled them. Mrs. Johns, an old friend
and, as I have said, an ardent partisan,
undertook to get rid Of the ak, with the
result that we know. Even Turner's
recovery brought little courage. He
could only recall that he had gone into
Wallis room and tried to wake him
without result, that he did not know of
the blood until the next day or that
Vail was dead and that he had a vague
recollection Of something white and
ghostly that night. He was not sure
where he had cen it.
The failure Of their attempt to get
rid Of the storeroom key was matched
nv thajr failura to smurrln Vurpor,c
linen off the ship. Singleton suspected
Turner, and, with the skillful and not
prescriptions aid of his lawyer, had
succeeded in finding in Mrs. Sloane's
trunk the discriminating pieces.

1T is proposed to raise the regular army of

and three years on furlough to years with

600 year for four years in the accumula-

The enormous armies in the European

The State Fair at Shreveport was large.
ly attended by Madison people, who, on

seen there of the possibilities of the state in
agriculture and stock raising. In stock
raising full confidence is inspired by the
TACT that Louisiana stock is taking the lead,
and that we are producing hogs and cattle
that will take premiums anywhere in the

advantages, and it only remains to adver-
tise the fact to the world.

GRANDMA

Mrs. Eba Hamilton, who is held
on charge of KIDNAPPING because
she took her grandchild, Gilbert
Hamilton, from the custody OF it's
mother, Mrs. Pearl Lane, may not
be charged with kidnapping after
all.
The prosecuting attorneys Of
flee was investigating today the
exact status of the decree which
Mrs. Hamilton obtained in Ore
gon, on which she claims to have
the legal right to the custody OF
the child.
This paper, so Mrs. Hamilton
claims, gives her the custody OF
the child Internationally, and
She says that its mother, Mrs.
Lane, has been holding 1t without
legal warrant. On the other hand,
Mrs. Lane declares that the court
gave Mrs. Hamilton merely the
right to have the custody of the
child while it was in Portland,
Ore, and that when the child left
that state, 1t legally came back
to its mother.
The prosecutors office recos-
nizes that 1t has a severe task to
sway jury into sending Mrs
Hamilton, a gray-haired, pleasant
appearing woman of 20 or more
to the penitentiary, especially
when she can make the plea tina,
she has a certain legal claim to
the child.
