Peaslee boosted to him after his arrest
in Portland, the witness said, that he
had outwitted Detective Clifton B. Hid

upon to investigate the crime.
When the trial of Peaslee was resumed
yesterday, it was expected that before
the close of yesterdays sessions of the
court, several others of the detectives
who were employed to force from young
Peaslee an admission of guilt, would be
closely questioned as to their conduct
and as to the fake murder stories they
told to Peaslee to "open his mind"
In all, about nine detectives will be
examined. Thus far, two have been
questioned, Max Sherman and Albert b.

Here's a Barre fact.
You can test it.
George L. Cummings, engi-
neer, 125 Prospect street, Barre,
says: 81 had a constant, dull
ache in the small of my back and
was bothered by kidney weak
ness. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at browns Drug Store,
cured these troubles, and there
has been only two slight return
attacks. At such times have
taken a few Doan's Kidney Pills
and have found prompt relief"

HOW TO heal
SKIN-DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and sim
liar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar of
resinol ointment and cake of resinol
soap. These will not cost bit more
than seventy-fve cents. With the res
mol soap and warm water battle the af-
fected parts thoroughly, until they are
free from crusts and the skin is soft
ened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin
layer of the resinol ointment, and cover
with light bandage--if necessary to
protect the clothing. This should be
done twice day. Usually the Distress
ing itching and burning stop with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.

If You Don't Sleep Well.

Should you be restless sleeper, should
sleep come to you only by fits and starts,
try simple remedies, and do not plunge
into narcotics or stimuaats-at least
not until the others have talled.
A famous English physician is quoted
as saying: 81 can cure the worst case of
insomnia in this manner: When the pa
tient has retired give her heaping bowl
of bread and milk with just dash of
salt to season. This will draw the blood
from the head to the stomach, it will
quiet the nerves and put the entire body
in healthy glow, and in 80 cases out of
100 the patient falls into healthy, rest
full sleep"
Another thing which will ainduce sleep
is cold orange just before retiring.
There are certain seductive as well as
stimulating qualities in an orange, and
it is probably one of the most efiicacious
fruits that can be taken for this purpose
Tapioca Pudding-Use the pearl tapi-
oca and soak over night, or the minute
tapioca, which requires no soaking. Cook
slowly until transparent and have the
tapioca just thick enough to pour easily.

He Smiles on Love Feast
in Indianap-
Oils
NAMED AS CHOICE
OF INDIANA
He Says: eve Are Re-
united as of
Old"

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. l.-Former
Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks was
indorsed at love feast Thursday as In
dana's choice for the Republican nomi-
nation for president and at the same
meeting, which filed to overlooking the
largest theatre in the state, Edwin L.
Morrow pledged him the solid delegation
from Kentucky in the national conven-
ton at Chicago next June.
Mr.. Fairbanks was given an ovation
when he responded to an invitation to
speak, after his name had been proposed
for the presidential nomination by Ed.
win P. Morrow Of Kentucky.
"The people have tried Democracy"
said Mr.. Fairbanks, when the enthusiasm
had quoted sufficiently for him to begin,
"and Democracy has tried them. The
result has been reunited, rebaptized
party of opposition. There is no divided
Republicanism here--we are reunited as
of old.
"We must maintain a campaign policy
just and firm. We must make adequate
preparation on land and sea for ma.
tional defense measured by our national
needs. We must adopt a protective tar
if measure which shall safeguard our in
dustries and supplement the resources of
the public treasury and guard us against
inundation at the end Of the European
war. We must proceed to adopt broad
enlightened policy for extending Ameri-
can markets, particularly into the Orient
and into South America. We must put
a great merchant marine ON the seas
which will give us a vast carrying trade
into the markets of the world. Above
all there must be prosperity and high
living standards for American workers.
Referring to the Democratic party, the |
former vice president said
eve are opposed to great many
things which our friends, the Democrats,
offer. We oppose a government owned I
and operated merchant marine. We OBJ /
iect to stamp taxes upon the people dur I
ing times OF peace. We do not favor
taxing bank checks, gasoline. automo-
biles and the like, to make good Demo
cratic deficits in the public revenue 1t
is an unnecessary and vexatious bur
den"
Mr.. Morrow in presenting Mr.. Fair
banks name said: Il am voicing the
sentiments and hopes of $4,000 loyal,
patriotic, militant Kentucky Republicans,
men who love their party and profound
ly believe in its principles. As their
humble spokesman, we believe that the
next president Of the United States will
come from Indiana Charles Warren
Fairbanks can swing Kentucky into the
column. sweep Indiana and
carry the nation, Kentucky Republicans
proclaim him as their choice and pledge
to him their full earnest and unqualified
support"
The party love feast was one of the
largest Republican gatherings the party
has held in years.

new process, whose patents are pub
lie property, will enable the automobile
list, launch owner and farmer to make
gasolene for their cars and engines. In
the current issue of Farm and Fireside,
"a writer says:
"The reader viii remember the an
nouncement made some time ago that
a young chemist in the United States
bureau of mines had perfected a meth
cd by which gasolene may be made in
great quantities from the heavier min
eral oils-kerosene and even oils so
heavy that they are now utilized for
machine oils only. Old engineers and
chemists spoke lightly of the matter. and
gave the world the idea that there was
probably nothing in the new process. The
government had such faith in it that IL
guaranteed the .Etna Explosive com
pany the sum of 100000 as a subsidy
for putting the process TO use on a COM
mercial scale, with the privilege of can
ceiling the subsidy as soon as the bust
mess was shown TO be a commercial sue
cess. Its success was 50 immediate that
the contract was cancelled.
The new process is most interesting
TO farmers because OF the possibility Of
practically all of the crude oil
into gasolene for their motor cars and
gas engines through a process the pat
ent Of which is public property; but
the Etna company has used il principal
" in making benzol and toluol. which are
used in the manufacture Of the highest
explosives. The Rittman process places
the United States on a elf-sustaining
basis in case it ever needs 20 make mu-

One Dollar on a Farm Worth Three in
City.

In the January Woman's Home Com
panion Robert Lane Wells tells us why
the farmers money goes farther than
the salesman's or clerks.
1T is commonly understood" he says,
that an income of one thousand dol
lars a year in the country, that is. on
a farm, is equivalent to three thousand
dollars in the city. / judge this is a
fairly safe estimate. In fact, good
many farm families seem to have no in
come at all, in the city sense In the
course of the year they handle surpris-
ingly little cash. Their actual needs are
few and plain, and are met in an almost
direct fashion by good old Mother Ma
ture.
"0ur family account books, which I
have not quoted show that We spent the
first year about one half as much for
clothing as in previous years; only lit
the more than one half as much for food;
nothing for rent or fire wood; practical
" nothing for travel or amusement We
feel, though, that We ought to spend
more on amusement"

Egg Dishes That Are New.

Unless the high price of eggs makes
their use prohibitive, the following new
recipes will be found/a pleasing variety:
Deviled Egg SaHd--Deyiled eggs can
be used in appetjzing salads. One way
is to cut off the>ends of hard boiled eggs
so that the yolk can be extracted. Then
rub the yolks to a paste with season
ing of melted butter, paprika and celery
salt. Return to the whites and slice
carefully in thin slices with a sharp
knife. Minee the white tops removed.
Place the sliced eggs on lettuce leaves,
sprinkle the finely minced whites and a
little minced parsley over them and serve
with mayonnaise.
Eggs and Peppers-Another way is to
cut hard boiled eggs in half. lengthwise.
Mix the yolks with red pepper, salt,
cream and capers and return to the
whites. Put two halves on each plate on
lettuce leaves and around them put
ring of green pepper--a slice of a big
green pepper. Serve with mayonnaise
A New 0melet--A reliable omelet is
this, made with breaderumbs. II is too,
cheaper than an omelet made with eggs
alone. Fill cup with fine breadcrumbs,
and then add as much hot milk as it will
hold. Beat the yolks of four eggs
creamy, and pour the bread and milk
over them. Add the whites of four eggs
beaten stiff, and fold In lightly. Have
ready a frying pan in which butter is
bubbling. Pull to cooler part Of the
stove or turn the heat down under it,
and pour in the omelet Cover tightly
and cook slowly, covered all the time,
until firm. The cooking must be slow.
Then fold the omelet, sprinkle with salt
and pepper, and serve at once.
Egg Toast-A delicious egg dish for
luncheon or breakfast is this: For each
person beat the white OF an egg stiff and
pile it neatly on a slice of thin, buttered
toast. Make a small depression in the
top of the white and in this drop an egg
yolk, unbroken. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper, and put in the oven to grow firm
and brown a little. Dorothy Dexter.

cleanse your teeth of germs, so you
should use Partisan Sage twice daily to

its return, protect your hair from fall
