CAR SMASHED AT

MEN WITH TIGER LIQUOR GOT
AWAY IN A HURRY,

Three men in an auto, a crash and
wild excitement, gasoline and tiger
liquor all poured into a pile with one
man whose bloou intermingieu and
added to the scarlet hue of the oc-
casion,-this was the panorama that
confronted Mr. G. A. Gregory a few
nights since when he went out from
his home on Northern heights to as
certain what had made such a terri
BILE noise.
An auto loaded with tiger liquor
and three men had missed its aim at
the curve on the National Highway
just at the turn to go over the rail
road at the Southern Cotton Oil Mills,
Two of them had grabbed as much
as they could carry and hid in the
dark. The other was so badly cut
about the head he could not get
away, and the citizen had to bring
him to town and get medical relief
No names were given, but the car
was soon righted and the men we're
gone. Asked what had happened,
the dazed man said he'd come into an
all SUDDEN contact with a straight up
fool" The straight up fool was a
telephone post

WARNS AGAINST USE OF
CHEMICALS IN CANNED FRUIT.

Warming against use of chemicals
i'm canning compounds by Indiana
housewives was issued today by Dr.
Harry +. Barnard state food ad-
ministrator. He declared that steril-
ization by heat was the only proper
method Of preserving fruits and
vegetables.
There are two ways OF preserving
fruits and vegetables" Mr. Barnard
said. "One is to sterilize them by
heat and the other TO pickle them
with chemicals. Some states pro-
hibit the sale of products containing
chemicals. although they do not
deny the housewife the right TO use
them if she is so foolish as TO prefer
20 use chemicals instead OF care.
Unfortunately, many states, al
though they have pure food laws
pay no attention to the use Of pre-
servatives. And so il is that at this
season of the year canning COM
pounds are widely advertised and
many women foolishly are persuaded
90 try them. These compounds,
which usually contain bOraX or boric
acid or salicylic acid or some similar
anuseptic, are not usually sold
through the stores, but by agents
who find il easy in too many cases
20 persuade the housewives to sub
stitute a spoonful of chemical pre-
servatives for careful sterilization by
boiling water.
The agents for canning COM
pounds are very active this year
The desire that every housewife has
10 save the perishable products of
/ her garden has made canning a uni
versal industry and every woman a
| prospective customer. Do not allow
any agent 10 persuade you that he
has a substitute for sterilization. It
may be possible 10 preserve fruits
and vegetables without tedious heat
ing. but unless YOU are willing TO
/ eat food containing such quantities

unwholesome place in which TO live,

Girls Clothes Problem.

The mother or whoever II is that
superintends the wardrobe OF the

outfit the girl before the summer is

clothes to last her until Thanks
Civins or Christmas. Everything
must be bought in a lump in most
cases for ghe girl who goes away 10

may delight the feminine heart OF
the girl herself, it can not but
prove a hard task for the one who
must do the buying and planning.
There is one helpful thing about
school girl clothes. As a rule she
prefers them comfortable rather
than stylish, though usually she de-
