widow, who was found dead on We'd
nesday in her apartment at 215 West
Ninety eighth street with a bullet
wound in her right temple which the
police decided had been self-in-
ficted, caused the district attorney to
start an investigation yesterday to de-
termine whether she had been MUIR
dered A revolver lay close to the
womans hand and on a table was a
note suggesting suicide which appar-
entity was signed by Mrs Stassny, but
District Attorney Swami was not con-
WINGED last night that one person was
the author of the entire text of the
note. The note read:
my dear Richard: / cannot stand
this any longer; no sleep, and feel
as if were going insane. Funeral
private. God bless you for what you
have done for me. Lovingly, S. NJ
Stiassny.''
The dear Richard" referred to in
the note, Mr.. Swami said. is Isaac
Epstein, a cousin Of Mrs. Stiassny
who made his home in the same
apartment. Epstein told Assista Mt

a detective that he was in an adjoin-
ing room, but had not heard shots.

YOUNGSTERS IN ATHLETICS

Youth must be served" may be an old wheeze, but it certainly ran true to form in the athletic world in 1916. Never before did so many youngsters display such marked prowess in the various lines of sport and athletics. And should the youthful athletics continue to improve, the coming sea- son is likely to witness the downfall Of more than one veteran.
 Of the many juvenile athletes who delivered in 1916, 12-year-old Bernar din Currier, known as the roque won der, is perhaps the youngest. At the, Missouri Valley championship tourna- ment held in Kansas City last Fall, Master Currier defeated some of the best players in the country, among them his grandfather, a we'll known expert who taught him the game. Any kid who can beat his grandfather at the old gentleman's own game is cer- tainly there or thereabouts.
 Golf also produced boy wonder in the person of Bobby Jones, the kid marvel from Georgia. After cleaning up the golfers in his home State Bobby entered the national tourna- ment last year and succeeded in get ting into the third round of play be- fore he was upset by Bob Gardner, the 1915 champion, The spectacle of a 14-year-old boy wading through the old-timers in a national tournament created full-grown sensation in golf ing circles. After watching the ooy perform, "Chick" Evans, the champion of golf champions, uttered the biggest boost for Bobby when he declared that the young Georgian had everything.
 Many baseball players have started their climb to fame and fortune at an early age, but Henry Febris, of Ripley Ohio, is believed to be the first IT, year-old boy to be signed up by a major league club. Febris, who is to be given a trial by the Cincinnati Ma tionals next Spring, pitched amateur ball in his home town last season and the big league scouts who gave him the up and down have declared him to be hurling wizard. In his last game of the season he struck out 19 bats men and 'tis said he would have famed couple of dozen more had his catcher been able to hold his delivery

THE ART OF MAKING UP.

he real art of making up for the camera is not attained by merely or dering suit from the costumer and getting busy with the cosmetic box. To fulfill the proper portrayal of a character one must primarily look the part. In order to actually look the part one can hardly expect the best results by driving up to Cohen's or any other costumer in an endeavor to buy something as near like the orig inal as possible. The real effect can only be obtained by securing the or iginal.
 This IS not always an easy matter, and often requires little time and patience to say nothing of diplomatic prowess For instance, in searching for the actual wardrobe of an Italian grave-digger for my characterization in "The Alien," it took me quite a little time and necessitated the as sistance of bootblack as interpreter before 1 obtained what I was after. By buying a coat from one laborer. a pair of shoes from another, a hat and overcoat and for still another, together with such incidentals which were nevertheless essential as an i'm mense and unique jack-knife and a solled bandana handkerchief, I finally had my outfit for the character. h. stead of calling on the costumer's for my material l went rikht among the laborers working on an excavation. It was no easy matter to convince the laborers that l was perfectly sane, and when they finally did realize this. the price for their representative gar ments scared above par. However. the result really warranted my trials and tribulations in this direction, as will be attested by many thousands who have seen this photoplay.
 As to facial makeup for the ca mera, do not believe in it except where 1t is absolutely necessary. When my parts demand a sunburned complexion, l go out into the fields and let nature do it, if this is possible. If shaggy beard is necessary for get to shave for few days. Sum ming up the entire question of a make up for the screen, the same rules that govern success in real life apply, namely: Be natural and avoid the ar tifcial as much as possible
 During an intermission, two old men were talking about how certain pie lures are made. One of them said
 ''I read in the paper that a moving picture actress ran an automobile over 60-foot cliff into the sea. They don't really do that, do they?"
 "Oh, my mol" said the other old man. "They just raise the ocean to the top of the cliff, run the auto into it and let it settle gently down again"

FAT LESS N"@T
 IF h' X HURTS
neys if Bladder BOthers You.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other says a well known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly back "ohe and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urin- ary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes delightful effervescent lthia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

MRS. MON BUCHANAN

A shadow of gloom was cast over eur little city yesterday afternoon when the grim death angel visited the home of Imon Buchanan and took from our midst his wife which, al- | 5t a surprise to those who knew of her illness, does not lessen the sadness or the sincere sympathy WI cA was made by her untimely death.
 Mrs. Buchanan died yesterday after noon about 3:15 o'clock after finger ing illness of three or four weeks, and her husband who is travelling for the Four States Grocer Co. of TeXarkana, was constantly by her bedside as was scores of her friends and relatives. She is survived by her husband and her mother, Mrs. J. C. Young, and one brother, David, as we'll as numerous relatives all over the county who mourn her loss.
 The funeral service will be held at the family residence tomorrow after noon at 2:3O o'clock, conducted by Rev. L. M. Keeling, assisted by Rev. F. A. Holt. Interment at De Ann cemetery in this city.

To another i7-year-old belongs the record for high run at pool, the run having been made recently by Louis Kreuter of New York Kreuter pock- eted 131 balls, sweeping nine entire frames and part of the tenth. Next month the boy wonder is to engage in contest for the national amateur pocket billiard championship.
 Anotehr young man entitled to a place among the youngsters who showed class in sports last year is Lyman Brusie, an 1S-year-old driver of harness horses. Young Brusie, who is a son of Harry Brusie, the veteran driver, holds the distinction of out driving Walter Cox, the Grand Cir cult wiz, in race at Woonsocket, R. l., last October. In the 2:23 pace Emma c was piloted by Brusie while Cox handled Harland K. The boys clever work against the veteran brought the crowd to it's feet. It was a driving hurry up" in the stretch and in an eyelash finish Brusie's mare got the verdict.
 The girls likewise earned their share of laurels in athletic competi- tion during the year just ended, and in some instances they even excelled the achievements of their youthful brothers.
 Foremost among the girl athletes winning fame in 1916 was Miss Alexia Stirling of Atlanta, who now holds the women's national golf championship That's considerable title for an 18- year-old girl, but Miss Stirling won it without a flaw and what's more. ac- cording to expert opinion, she's likely to remain champion for some time to come.
 Trap-shooting is ably represented among the little folk by Miss Lucille Meusel of Green Bay, Wis. Although but IA years old this young lady holds an average of 90 out of every 100 tar gets in competition.

HOME MIXED FEEDS.
National Crop improvement servic,

National Crop improvement Service
When man undertakes to mix his
own rations, what does he do? He
buys straight feeds. Take cottonseed
meal as common example. There
are great many different grades of
cottonseed meal, and the man who is
looking for low-priced feed is sure
to get a low grade. The demand for
cheap feeding ingredients has caused
the quality to be gradually whitfield
down. Consequently the farmer
nearly always works with feeds which
are poorer than he believes them to
be. He does not get adequate state
protection because inspectors do not
go to farmers barn to draw sam
Piles, and even if they did, it would be
hard to get a complete chain of evil
dence.
A farmer has no facilities for hav-
ing his feed analysed and he doesn't
know what he is working with. The
analyses of mixed feeds costs about
ten cents per ton, and if every farmer
will read the various bulletins from
the agricultural colleges he will soon
know those brands which can be de-
pended upon. There is no doubt that
at the present prices of grain any
farmer can save money by selling his
cereal crops and buying mixed feed.
Cornmeal, oil meal and cottonseed
meal are all high, but the by-products
of barley and rye are all more reason
able in price.
Corn has become costly largely due
to the demand for pork and beef.
Americans will have those meats at
almost any price. This puts corn on
meat basis, and the dairy business
will have to fall back on the by-prod-
ucts of grains.

BUYING FEED INGREDIENTS
Difficult to Buy Proper Feed stuffs at
Random.
National Crop Improyem

lNaconal crop improvement service.
There are not a dozen feed stores
in the country that carry in stock all
the ingredients of first-class mixed
feed at all times and at reasonable
prices. and usually they do not. carry
feeds of the same high quality used
by the mixers who work scientifically
through laboratory. This is human
nature. Competition compels dealer
to sell the cheapest quality. The best
quality of feed Is seldom carried, be-
cause the average buyer will not pay
the highest price. A good many ex-
pertinent stations in a general way
will advocate that farmer mix all
his own feed, but they are human like
the rest of us and they will use recog-
nized brands in their own feeding
operations rather than go to the trou-
BILE and take the time to follow their
own advice.
There are a good many herds at
experiment stations which are kept as
sort of clinic for professors to prac-
tice theories upon. The poor brutes
are. used good deal as guinea pigs
in hospital practice. On the other
hand, at the experiment stations are
to be found many of the finest ami
mails ever bred.
The mixed feeds of the first grade
can be fed alone or in connection with
homegrown corn, oats or barley. To
do this widens your ration, and it is
correct to do so If it will reduce your
cost Of feeding. Mixed feeds, there
fore. are largely matter of arith-
metic.
You can usually get the result for
less money than by feeding more ex-
pensive grains separately.

THE MANURIAL INGREDIENTS OF
FEEDS.
rNatloaal Crop Improvement ssrvice.I

National Crop Improvement Servicel
Nitrogen Is the most important and
most valuable fertilizing element sup
piled by feeds, and it is in this ele-
ment that they show the greatest
variation.
The Connecticut Experiment Sta
tion states that it was found that the
average mixed fertilizer contained
2.95 per cent nitrogen and showed in
a table that eighteen of fifty-two diff
ferent feeds contained 1898 per cent.
Among this list is cottonseed and lin
seed meals, gluten seed, middlings,
brewers and distillers' products, and
a few of the feed mixtures. 1t is OBJ
vious, therefore, that a wise selection
OF feeds enhances the value of the
manure and consequently plays an
important part in farm economy.

THE BEST DAIRY FEED
Made From Grain From Which The
Human Food Values Have
Been Taken.
BY Prof. F.. d. Fuller.
National Crop improvement service,l

National Crop improvement Sefvice.1
The reason why the best dairy
feeds are less expensive than the same
grains on the farm Is because the
principal elements of human food are
taken from these grains before they
are ever made into feed. The by
products of cereal mills, glucose fac
tories, malt houses, ETC., constitute
often more than SO per cent of the
total bulk Of mixed dairy feeds of the
better class.
These oats, barley and corn by
products are considered by experts in
animal nutrition as very valuable
feed materials. After these cereals are
ground in the manufacture of alcohol,
for which the use is growing more i'm
portant daily in the arts, the solid
residue is dried in vacuo, and is then
known as dried grains" If made
from corn, these grains contain on an
average of about 80 per cent crude
protein and 10 per cent crude fat. If
made from rye, while valuable, they
are Of somewhat lower feed value.
The barley residue contains over 10
per cent more crude protein than
wheat bran and twice as much crude
fat. In fact, their food value is
largely increased by the process.
All these products are widely used
by the best dairy feeders and are re-
lied upon very extensively in milk
production. There is no doubt of the
fact that IL the supply of these prod
ucts were radically limited or entirely
exhausted, it would have a serious eff
feet upon the milk production
throughout the country and the
dairymen would have one more bur-
den added to their already overtaxed
strength.
Cottonseed meal is composed prin-
cipally Of the kernel, with such por-
ton Of the hull as is necessary in the
manufacture OF, oil. Cottonseed meal,
II choice, must contain at least Al per
cent crude protein. 1t is one of the
richest Of all feeds in this substance
and carries about per cent crude
fat. On account of it's extreme con-
centratiOn it can be fed only in linn
tied quantities and always in con-
junction with some products to fur
nish bulk. This meal is an important
ingredient in many manufactured
feeds.

Many of Them Will be Rounded Up,
But Some With Great
Difficulty.

Latest figures of registration indi-
cate that at least million men liable
to military service have failed to
give in their names.
During the Civil war many men
slipped over the line into Canada.
Some will do it now, and claim ex-
emption there from prospective con
scription act, on the ground that
they are American citizens.
The tramp and criminal classes
will be rounded up with great diff
Guilty. If questioned, they will al
ways be over 81 years of age. Fell
lows of this type would never regis
ter unless dragged up by the collar
and then they would give fictitious
names. They are not fearful Of Jail
sentences, aad find them handy in
cold weather at least.
There are some men who as a re-
suit of low mentality, never do the
normal and manly thing. They have
lodged law and citizenship for years.
and think they can do it in this in
stance. They will find fooling with
United States officers is sometimes
different proposition from dealing
with local politicians.
1t is up to good citizens to keep
watch of characters supposed to be
slippery, and inquire if they have
registered. Most Of these would
say they had, thinking that people
would not bother to confirm their
statements. But it may be useful to
let them know they are watched.
Employers should inquire of un-
known applicants for work if they
have registered, and their state
ments should be verified. A man
who will dodge his auty to govern
me1t will be of little use to his en-
ployer. Also employers should see
that alien help understand the re-
quirement. There are no doubt
some who do not yet know about it..
A good many hundred thousand
more names can be rounded up.
There is an element too worthless to
bother with, who would only be a
drag on an army.
