PLANNED MURDER
 0F RELATIVES
Through Aid of Dictaphone Chief os Police Prevents Murder of
 Millionaire and Daughter.

CHICAGO, Jan, 17.--Irving Up dyke, aged thirty years, and his brother aged twenty years, have been arrested for plotting to murder their father and sister in order that they might come into the possession of the million dollars which would eventually have been theirs.
 The young men believed that the father was about to change his will and would leave the bulk of his for tune to their sister, cutting them of with a small portion of the estate. The men held frequent conferences in the garage and were known to have purchased Maxim silencer.
 The frequences of the men caused the suspicion of the family and the assistance of the chief of police was enlisted. The police caused a dicta- phone to be installed in the garage and with stenographers to record the conversations of the two men secured evidence that they planned the mur- ders of their parent and. sister while the latter were riding in the auto.
 When the young men were con- fronted with the evidence of the plot which had been secured through tho aid of the dictophone they broko down down and made full confess sion of their plans to murder their relatives. The arrests of the young men on the charges of conspiring to commit murder has caused a sensa- tion, as both were we'll known in the leading social circles of the city.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. 17.-Hiram Maxim, the products of whose gun factories are known in every part of America, believes that the United States should lose no time in making preparations in order that she will be in position to repel an invasion from some of the European powers.
 In an address on preparedness, de- livered in support of the administra- tion's national defense policy, Max ime declared that danger threatened the United States, no matter which side should eventually triumph in the European war. The governments of the European nations were firm in their beliefs that this country is ar rayed against them in the struggle, and he believed they would seek to retaliate after the close of the war. He said it was even probable that the European nations might unite in mak- ing war upon the United States. Jeal- ousy of the industrial supremacy of the United States would prove an in- centive to invasion and to cripple the commerce of the nation.
 The speaker asserted that the na- val and military officials of this coun- try were we'll aware that the United

SOON ANNOUNCE ACTUAL BLOCKADE
Governments Will Pre- .:-
 vent all Shipments Into or from
 the Teutonic Countries.

LONDON, Jan. 17.-It is rumored in semi-official circles that the British and French governments are soon to announce to the nations of the world that an actual blockade of all com merce to the Teutonic nations has been established. Should the order go into effect it will prevent all ship ments of goods directly or indirectly from the Teutonic countries and will extend even to the mail service be- tween the Central European countries and neutral nations.
 Since the blockade of the German coast has been established by the British and French fleets more than a year ago shipments of goods into and from Germany were permitted which were not included in the list of contrabands. The new order is de- signed to cripple the German indus- tries and will be sweeping in its ef- fects as all ships carrying cargoes for German consumption will be seized as prizes of war.
 The actual blockade order is the result of protests made ,by the swed- ish government against the destruc- ton of vessels h the Baltic by Brit ish submarines while the ships were carrying ore to German .norts-. :. It is also reported that the British severn Ement now realizes that the industries Fof the Teutonic empire must be de- stroyed in order to hasten the end of the war.

States could be invaded at almost any point on the Atlantic or Pacific coasts and he believed it was time that the American people should be awakened to the realization of their position.
 Any of the principal European na- tions now engaged in the war, could land an army of two hundred and fif- |ty thousand trained veterans on American soil within a month. and
 before two weeks had lapsed after their arrival that every intuition plant in the United States would have either beeen destroyed or captured by
 the invaders.
 MT. Maxim believed that the very
 fact that the United States was reap ing harvest of gold by supplying the belligerent European nations with ar |ticles which they were unable to pro- duce owing to the war would be an
 incentive to them to attack this coun- try. He declared that should the Eu- ropean war be continued one or two
 more years, as now seems certain,
 that America would have gathered practically all the gold in the world, and that the country must prepare to guard against those who would covet her treasures and might seek to de- |spoil the nation.

The Growing Use of Fruit in Diet.

In the January Woman's Home Com
panion Cora Farmer Perkins, in charge
of the famous school of cookery that
was conducted by the late Fannie Mer-
rift Farmer, writes:
There is no article of diet that has
increased in use during the last few
years so rapidly as fruit. When fresh
fruits are expensive and difficult to OBJ
tain, dried fruits may well take their
place. Among the dried fruits, dates,
figs and prunes hold a conspicuous place.
They combine so admirably with many
ingredients that the housekeeper finds
them of inestimable value in great
variety of dishes, covering wide range
in cookery. Some recipes follow that
are always a valuable addition to the d.

Washing Silk Stockings.

White silk stockings have most an
moving habit of acquiring a yellowislr
tinge after two or three washings, and
this is usually due to their being washed
ont in basin and hung up to dry with
out bleaching. Soak the stockings half
an hour in cold water into which a pinch
of borax has been dropped; then wash
them in warm, but not hot water Rinse
in three waters-this is very impor
tant, for the least bit of soap remaining
will yellow the silk-and blue the last
rinsing water just trife. Then hang
the stockings in the sun and wind to
bleach and dry.
Never touch them with hot iron,
but when thoroughly dry smooth out

stockings, for the dye is very apt to

How to Dose Animals.

After thrusting struggling porker
into barrel and pouring his medicine
on and not in him, the amateur veteri-
nary will do we'll to heed the following
suggestion for giving medicine to ami
mails, which is printed in the current is
sue of Farm and Fireside:
when fluid medicine is to be given
to sheep, cattle, horses, or swine, prac-
teal and simple form of drenclling tube
can be made by taking piece oil rub
Der tubing one-half inch in diameter and
about three or four feet long Aflix a
tin funnel to one end oi the tube and
a piece of iron or brass tubing four to
six inches long at the other end.
when drenching, insert the metal
tube into the animals mouth back as
far as the metal tube will reach, then
elevate the funnel end and allow the
drenching medicine to slowly pass into
the animals mouth. Care should be
taken not to raise the animals head too
high-just high enough to allow the
medicine to gradually ilow back to the
back part of the mouth.
'The medicine can BE- checked il flow
ing too fast by pinching the rubber tube.
In most eases it is better to drench
the animal while standing, and in the
case of sheep, il the medicine is given in
a standing position, the gasolene rem
edy or similar worm remedies will pass
directly to the fourth stomach, whereas
il the medicine is given when the sheep
is placed on its launches or in sitting
position the medicine has been found to
be less effective

II War Continues Long Where Will We
Get Our Labor?

In the January American Magazine
Ray Baker in an article called THE
Great CONSUMPTION" discusses vital
economic problem that we very soon
have to solve
Before the war" he SAYS, "few Amer
leans realized how completely dependent
upon European labor the nation had be-
come. Chinese and japanese. the best
workers in the world. had been sternlv
excluded through the hostility of the
Pacifis states; and at the .sa me time
the negroes. once a main source of un-
killed labor. were by virtue of educa-
cation and industry becoming land own
ers and, in rapidly increasing numbers,
their own employers. just Mt the mo-
ment, therefore. when boundless prosper.
ity and business ACKNOWLEDGMENT seemed
within their grasp. the Americans were
to face the most serious crisis
IN their history.
"Thus it happened that. while many
wanted positions and jobs, almost no
American wanted to perform
any ding of physical labor. Even skilled
workmen thought they must each have
Italian or other foreign helpers to do the
more disagreeable parts of the work

certain cities to hire q plumber. painter.
or artisan without also hiring his help

-Whcn. therefore. the supply of un-
skilled labor in America began to be
