Boil sugar and water for five min
utes. Remove from fire and add lem
on juice, orange juice and rind. While
hot pour gradually onto the eggs beat
en- till thick, beating constantly un-
til cool. Set dish in ice water until
cold. Then freeze to a mush and pack
in ice and salt for two hours. Pile
into long stemmed glasses and gar
nish with whipped cream and candied
cherries. Serve with lady fingers.
Peanut Bread.
1egg
" cupful sugar
IA cupfuls sweet milk
teaspoonful salt
A cupfuls flour
a teaspoonfuls baking powder
1 cupful shelled peanuts
To the beaten egg add the sugar
and milk. Beat in the flour which
has been mixed and sifted with the
salt and baking powder. Then add
the peanuts which have been run
through the coarse knife of food
cutter. Let rise twenty minutes in a
warm place, then bake one hour in a
moderate oven. This is delicious for
sandwiches.
Starch is much improved by long
boiling instead of being made in the
usual way by pouring the boiling wa
ter on it without further cooking.
For paint stains, rub with turpen-
tine or benzine, or, if very obstinate,
they can be removed by touching with
chloroform.

CASE TO JURY
THIS EVENING
State Asks That Kelly be Sent to
Insane, Ward In Reformatory
for Balance of His
Life,

UNITED Press Leased Wire service.I
RED OAK, Iowa, Sept. 26.-Lyn
George J. Kelly, on trial charged
with numbering eight persons at VII
lisca five years ago, must be placed
in the insane ward of the Anamosa
reformatory for the criminal insane,
for the balance Of his life. This is
asked by the state and was indicated
by States Attorney Faville, in sum-
ming up the states case to the jury
that holds the fate of the minister.
Faville said that placing Kelly In
an insane asylum would do little good
because some alienist would pro
nounce him sane in a year or so and
he would again be free. He referred
to a former incarceration in an in
sane asylum of Kelly and Of his re-
lease eight months later as sane. In
thirty days, Faville said, Kelly's in
sanity was again evident Faville
also told the jurors he would not ask
the gallows for Kelly.
Kelly was more nervous today
than at any time since his trial be-
gan. He slid up and down in his
chair and rubbed his hands, talking
almost continuously to his wife and
an attorney.
Judge Mitchell began his closing
address for the defense this after
noon. After Mitchell finishes H. M.
Havner attorney general for Iowa,
will close for the state and 1t is
thought the case will reach the jur-
