MAN and Wife ACCUSED
OF MURDER OF CHILD

Maiden, Mass, June 9.-Charged
with one of the most henious crimes
recorded in Massachusetts, in recent
years, Joseph Wakelin of Melrose and
his wife, Sarah, were arraigned in
court here today for a preliminary
hearing. The couple are accused of
the murder of their seven year-old
daughter, Loretta Wakelin, whose
dead body was found in the woods not
far from her home just year ago.
The coroner's inquest developed the
fact that the child had been assaulted
and then beaten and Jtrangled II
death.
Numerous suspects were arrested af-
ter the discovery of the crime, but
no evidence was found upon which to
hold any of them. The father of the
murdered child was taken into GUS
tody at the time and later released.
Weeks and months passed by and the
mystery of the murder had been al
most forgotten by the public when,
on the first anniversary of the crime,
Wakelin and his wife were arrested
and charged with the murder. The
evidence leading to the arrest is said
to have been obtained by detective
who hired room of the Wakalins
and lived in their home for several
weeks.

This requires about 10 minutes. After
the flour is added, cover, and allow
to raise l "a hours at temperature
OF Sc degrees; it may be better to
set 1t at lower temperature, but the
lower the temperature the longer the
time required for the rising. Cut
down the dough from the sides of
the bowl; grease the hands slightly
KneaG little and set aside to-. rise
again for one hour. With a. good
bread flour the dough should treble
its bulk in each rising. With a soft
wheat flour, it should not rise much
beyond twice it's volume. Divide in
to portions, mold, and place in
quarts.) Allow to rise until light
touch will make a slight dent. With
good bread flour this happens when
the dough reaches the top Of the
pans. Bake so minutes.
Short Sponge Method.
The short sponge method requires
setting for a considerable period. All
ingredients are the same as for the
short process, but only half the flour
is added at first. When the resulting
mixture, which is called a sponge"
is so light that it will fall at the
slightest touch, the rest of the flour
should be added. ?, ~
Overnight Sponge Method.
Use the same proportions as for the
short process, except in the case of
tie yeast, which should be one
eighth cake of compressed yeast or 2
ta5lespoonfuls of liquid yeast for
each loaf. Use water rather than
milk. In the evening mix the yeast
with water, salt, and half of the flour,

and beat thoroughly. Cover and
place at temperature of IS degrees
to 20 degrees f., or that of an ordi-
nary room. In the morning add the
sugar and the rest of the flour and
proceed as in the case of the short
process.
Overnight Straight Dough Method.
Use the same ingredients as for
the overnight sponge method. but put
in all the ingredients at night.
Mixed Wheat Flour Breads.
The recipes given above for white
bread can be followed in making
bread out Of part graham and part
white flour. The usual proportions
are either one part of graham to two
parts of white. or half graham and
half white. In adj cases, however,
white flour should be used for MAX
ing the sponge. In place of the sugar
an equal amount Of molasses may be
used. Such bread will not rise quite
as much as bread made of white
flour only.
Whole Wheat or Graham Bread.
One and one-haf cups lukewarm
milk.
Three tablespoons brown sugar.
One One-fOurth teaspoons salt.
Three cups whole wheat or graham
flour.
One-half yeast cake.
Scald the milk. together with the
sugar and salt. When lukewarm, add
the yeast mixing it first with lit
lie of the milk. Add the flour, beat
we'll, and let it double its volume.
Beat it thoroughly, pour into pan,
and let it rise. In pan of standard
size it should come nearly to the top.
The above recipe may be used in
preparing bread from homeground
meal. There are many households,
particularly in the country, where
clean whole wheat can be obtained at
moderate cost. If ground in the ordl-
nary coffee mill, such wheat makes
coarse bread, not very light in tex
ture, but Of such good flavor that it
may we'll be used occasionally to
give variety to the diet. 1t IS use
full too, in places where good bran
can not be obtained easily and where
coarse breads are desired as means
of preventing constipation.
In making such bread with view
to economy the housekeeper should
compute what it will cost her per
loaf, including labor and fuel, as
compared with other breads she
makes. Skim milk instead of whole
milk can be used homemade yeast,
either liquid or dry cakes, is a pos
sihility; and some might like the
bread with less sugar or unsweeten-
ed Another recipe which has been
worked out follows:
HOmc.GrOund Wheat Bread.
One and one-fourth cups water or
skim milk.
One and one-fourth teaspoons salt.
One teaspoon sugar.
Three cups home-ground wheat
flour.
One-half cake dry yeast or one gill
of liquid yeast.
: Set a sponge at night, using half
of the flour. In the morning add the
rest of the flour, beat we'll, put into a
creased pan, allow to rise until it |
doubles its bulk, and bake. Cor par.

COMMUNITY CHAUTAUQUA
CLOSED ON THURSDAY

John kendrick Bangs was the stellar
attraction Thursday at the closing ses-
sions of the Community Chautauqua. The
audience in the afternoon was rather bet
ter than at. the other afternoon sessions,
for Mr.. Bangs had given his lecture "Sa-
lubrities' in this city, which many re-
membered with pleasure.
I'VE. Us and Company was the subject
Thursday. The lecture abounded with hu-
morous stories. all of which emphasized
some point in a most telling manner. Mr.
Bangs handled some of the chara cterist-
les of the American people. He referred
TO the muck rakers and alien critics of
the past few years and his words tended
strongly to disapprove the claims that
they had made. among which were that
good samarita nism amongst Americans
Was dead; that the American people had
lost their sense of humor; that there is
practically no thirst for culture and tina,
the boys and girls Of America are I'M
worthy to assume the great and weighty
responsibilities that must later fall on
their shoulders. All these charges he
prettily exploded b.: stories of contact
with everyday men on the street a per-
sonaly conducted tour. as il were, of the
hearts Of the American public. proving
that after all the American heart still
! has the open door" Alien critics ana
muck rakers were handled without gloves
and all who heard the lecture must have
left the tent with a more exalted opinion
! OF humanity in general than they had
when they entered
/ That the Chautauquans believe in re-
! serving the good wine till the last was
apparent from the Thursday program, for
truly the last days program was not es-
| celled during the entire course In the
evening j. H. Balner and his kaffr sing
! ing boys captivated the audience with
their weird and witching stories and rnu.
TIC. 1t was truly demonstration in song
and story of native African life
! 1t is to be regretted for our own SAX,
that these high-class entertainments AMI
( lectures have not been better attended
That there is reason is apparent and
that this reason has nothing to do with
the entertainments themselves is equally,
so. There are those in Gardiner who
reel that Gardiner should have the bene-
flts OF a Chautauqua next year Whether
the city has or not remains to be seen
Already plans are being formulated to
this end and It is to be hoped that if they
materialiZe everybody will take hold and
work for a success in the manner that
Gardinertes usually tackle such things
