Which Ws Buried Here Tuesday, VIII
Be Observation-Disclosures Being
Made Into Mistreatment Of
Longview Hospital
Patients.

Tales Of horrible mistreatment of
the patients at Longview Hospital,
Cincinnati, has caused a grand jury
investigation. The investigation was
started after relatives of patients who
had died at the hospital had found
bruises and marks on the bodies and
reported the matter to Judge Alfred
X. Nippert. Former patients have al
so testified that they were badly
handled while at the institution.
One of the witnesses heard We'd
nesday was Charles W. Stewart, Kill
duff, Iowa. Stewart was at Mays
vile, KY, attending the funertl of his
brother, Edward Stewart, when he
saw an account of the Longview Hos
pital investigation in The Enquirer.
Edward Stewart, As years old, for
mer resident of Maysville, was COM
mitted to Longview November l. He
died at that institution November 7.
Longview Hospital physicians who
signed the death certificate attribut-
ed death to paresis.
According to Charles w. Stewart,
when the body reached Maysville, the
skull was fractured; there was a cut
in the back of the head and one on
the forehead. Coroner Bauer will ar
range to have this body exhumed and
an examination made at Maysville,
where OF was buried Tuesday.
John Hodapp, undertaken, who for
warded the body of Stewart to Mays
vile, said yesterday, he noticed an
abrasion on the forehead when he
was preparing the body for burial. He
said he called attention of relatives to
this injury and then treated it SO
that it was not conspicuous.
Hodapp said he did not believe the
mans skull was fractured.
In Probate Court Stewart was reg
istered as cigar maker. He had
been patient at the General Mos
pital, where records say he was suf-
fering from alcoholic dementia. He
told General Hospital physicians he
had no friends.

CATHOLICS TO HELP
Special Collection To BE Taken For
X. Of G. War Fund For the Benefit
Of Men In Service Of
Uncle Sam.

Pursuant to the request of the Ma
tional Catholic War Council at a con-
ference held at Washington, d. c.,
some time ago Rt. Rev. Bishop Brosg-
sart Of Covington, Kentucky, has di-
rected that collection be taken up in
the various churches of his diocese on
next Sunday, November 18th, 1917, for
the benefit Of the Knights of Column
bus War Fund, which Is expended for
the benefit of the men in the service.
Both the Y. M. c. A. and the X. of
c. furnish recreation centers for all
regardless of creed. The religious
needs of the non-catholics are sup
piled by the Y. NJ. c. A., those of the
catholics, comprising about 4Ofo of
the men in the service, by the X. of
C. The buildings of both organiza-
tions are opened to all soldiers at all
times regardless of creed or class.
The Knights of Columbus must rem
der this help over seas as well as at
home, and in addition have been ask
ed to lend support to the American
Red Cross in special work.
For this purpose there will be re-
quired fund of s3,OOO,OOO to $5,OOO,-
600. The members of the X. of c. hav-
ing heretofore contributed more than
81 100000 The generosity of the peO-
pie generally must be relied upon for
this fund, and appeal is made alike
to the catholic and non-catholic tC
contribute literally to this purpose
which is expended without discrimi-
nation to all the men in the service
There is absolutely no expense
connected with the handling of this
fund, no paid agents, no commissions
Any sum contributed to this FUND
goes directly, without deducation oil
expense, to the purpose for which II
is given. The collections being made

Knights of Columbus, and not
charged against this fund. Their
bonded officers are held responsible

times for inspection, and complete

ceipts and expenditures.

are catholics, much larger percent.

The Government Bureau of Plant
Industry, which makes a specially
of developing new varieties Of food,
or OF promoting the introduction of
foods into new places, has found out
that the dasheen is well adapted to
cultivation is most of the Southern
States, and is urging farmers there
to become better acquainted with it.
The dasheen grows in hills
much as potatoes do. In fact, it
resembles in many ways these uni
versally popular vegetables.
The plant develops long spherical
corms and largs potato-like tubers,
both of which may be used for food.
The flesh of the corms and tubers
when cooked is somewhat gray or
violet in color. Although resem-
bling the potato in many respects,
the dasheen has more delicate
flavor and one that is very pleasing
to the palates.
When uncooked dasheens are
scraped they should be handled in
water to which a level teaspoonful
of washing soda or sal soda to the
quart has been added, as the Juice
Of the outer layer of the raw
dasheen contains an irritant that,
when mixed with water, causes the

This property is destroyed by cook

ed with meat. Large corms should
be parhoiled for ten to twenty
minutes before baking, and may
be cut in half either before or af-
ter the boiling. The total time re-
quired for cooking is little less
than for potatoes of the same
size. Baked dashecn should be
served Immediately when done.
BOILED DASHEENS.
Large dasheens (eorms) are
preferable for boiling, though
small ones (tubers) may also be
used. They should always be
boiled in the skins and may be
served thus or with the skins re-
moved. Dasheens do not require
quite so long boiling as potatoes
of the same size.
In the case of small tuhers they
are especially good If, after peel
ing, they are placed in the oven
just long enough to melt over

There are numerous simple and
appetizing ways of preparing das-
heens for the table. Among those
which are especially recommended
by the Government scientists who
have been investigator the possibili-
ties of this new vegetable are the
following:
BAKED DASHEENS.
Dasheens, large or small, may
be baked like potatoes in a quick
oven. If not already thoroughly
cleaned they should first be
rubbed or scrubbed to remove the
loose fibre from the skin. Small
dasheens may be scraped before
baking, as they are then more
convenient for eating, and the
soft crust which forms around
them is particularly delicious.
Rubbing these scraped dasheens
with fat before baking will i'm
prove them, or they may be roast
