Two ounces Of honey and six ounces
OF Strawberries, with three ounces Of
cottage cheese, two ounces Of bread
and two.thirds Of an ounce Of butter,
the latter either spread on the bread
or mixed with the cheese, makes .
very well.balanced meal.
As q filling for sandwiches, honey
may be used with chopped nuts, or the
nuts may be added to cheese and
honey for the same purpose.

To Mend the Screens.

The broken door or window screen
is an eyesore all summer II It is left
unmended, or the repairing Is done
clumsily. The neatest way to mend
the screen Is to cut piece Of wire
netting about three inches larger than
tho hole. Remove the wires around
the edge Of the patch for half an inch
or more. like drawing away the
threads from piece Of linen. Bend
the resulting prongs at right angles
and At tho patch In place with the
wire ends sticking through the screen.
Press the patch fiat against the larger
surface. then on the other side press
the ends back to their original posi-.
ton. This secures the patch.

WANTS AN ACCOUNTING
 OF VAN N0RDEN ESTATE
Mrs. Grace TalcOtt Van Nor den Declares War on
 Executors.

Mrs. Grace Talcott Van Norden, cousin of George $. Talcott of this city. has invited all the creditors of Warner Van Norden, who died on January 1, 1914, in New York to press their claims against the executors of the estate, Miss Cora l.. Van Norden and Rev. Theodore l.. Van Norden, Mrs. Van Norden is the wife of w.. M Van Norden, son of the deceased, and she has a claim amounting to 44,000 against the estate. It is claimed that the executors have rend- cred no accounting. | The executors have testified in tax | proceedings that the indebtness of the estate exceeds it's assets. This means that all of the property in the hands of the executors belings to the creditors.
 The executors brought an action in the supreme court of New 4Ork against Mrs Grace Talcott Van Nor den, amounting to S370, 0,0O0, based on satisfied notes: this suit was tried and last. At the same time a judg- ment was rendered to Mrs. Van Nor den, in the sum of $44,423.94 in a counter suit which she had brought against the estate, for money which i'''N 'N>'i i'i'i N'0ISNi IO Ahi' oii ANOANS Senior. and which had not been ac- counted for. The executors did not appeal these cases.
 The loss of these two suits reduced the amount on hand for the benefit of the creditors, because it cost the estate considerable sum for legal fees and expenses. And tke judg- ment rendered to Mrs. Van Norden added another large creditor to the list.
 The executors have passed suit against w. M. Van Norden in amount about S1250, 900. This action is also based upon old notes which w. M. Van Norden in his defense asserts to have been long since satisfied. In de- fense he has sued the estate for an accounting of about $2,000,000., for cash and securities which he claims to have advanced to his father.
 As the issues are involved. this sec ond action promises to be long drawn out affair. The legal expense will be immense, and this expense will have to be met with the money of the creditors remaining in the hands of the executors.
 Mrs. Grace Talcott Van Norden has freuuently visited in this city and is will known among society folks.

Baca Valles, who was known as Villas executioner at Juarez, was marched through the dim;y lighted railway station where many families spend their nights. Execu- tons had been so frequent at Juarez in the finald days of the Villa regime, however, that little interest was shown. The proceedings were brief. The pris- oner said 'I am not responsible for the acts of Villa. I beg to see your general" The officer commanding the firing squad said he had orders to kill, and he and a soldier stepped close to Bacca Valles and fired point blank into the prisoners heart. The body was taken back to the railroad station where 1t lay uncovered until after dawn on the platform among the men, women and children lying about wrapped in blankets.
 Lieutenant Colonel Enrique Cis- neros, who was captured last week with Baca Valles is being marched overland with eight followers caught with him and, according to Mexican officials, also will be placed promptly before a firing squad.
