Apron Found Near Roberts Mill
in Claremont

CLAREMONT, n. H., June ia
revolving crime was brought to light
Monday afternoon, when Frania Nadol-
ska was placed under arrest by Chief of
Police ID. f. White, charged with con
cealing the birth of child. The wom-
an at first denied the charge, but To-
cal doctor was called in and examina-
ton established the truth of the charge.
She was placed under a gruelling cross
examination by Chief White, but for
two hours refused to divulge the where
abouts of the child.
A confession was finally wrung from
the woman in which she stated that the
child was born early Thursday evening.
No physician was called insnor was any
one else present at the time. Late at
night, about four hours following the
| birth, she arose and dressed, wrapped
| the baby in an old skirt and stealthily
| left the house. Proceeding to a point
on the river bank below the ROBBERS mill
she tossed the bundle into the river and
returned home, where she remained shut
in her room two days.
The suspicion of the neighbors was
aroused and the matter came to the
attention of the police Monday fore
noon, and the matter was immediately
investigated.
Following the woman's confession
j Chief White instituted search for tn,
body Nothing was found during tn,
evening, and the search was resumed
yesterday. The body was found in ;
few feet of water near the bank of th'
river, partially wrapped in an old glng
ham apron. 1t was removed by Chic

Help Save Sheep.

The, dog rightfully holds a strong
place in the minds and affections of
men. The owner of good dog finds
in him a most faithful friend. But it
sometimes happens that the dog most
highly esteemed Is also one that kills
and worries the most sheep and is the
most cunning in Obscuring The evil
dences of his guilt. A well-bred dogs
habit of lying innocently asleep in the
'front.' yard during the daytime is not
proof that the same dog does not kill
sheep at night. Because of the eco
nomic loss occasioned by sheep-killing
dogs, and because such dogs bring the
whole of their kind into bad ~repute,
the true admirers and friends Of this
animal should help to further any
steps likely to result in the limitation
of the activity of these discreditine
members of a noble race. One of the
most practicable methods of accom-.
plishing this result seems to be to
place upon dogs such tax as will re-
duce the number of superfiuous ones
and result in fewer being kept by per
sons who cannot or will not give then
the attention necessary to prevent the
formation of habits and association.

Saponin, q Food AduIteration,

Saponin is a word coined as the
name Of a substance extracted from
plants known as soapbark and soap
root, and a few other plants, by boil
ing them in water. The word is de-
rived from the Latin word sapo, soap.
Saponin possesses the quality when
dissolved in water Of foaming like
soap, and while it has no nutritious or
edible quality, 1t has come into extern
sive use as a substitute for the white
Of eggs by producing foam and thus
giving some preparations fraudulent
appearance Of body and therefore of
food value. Administrators Of the
pure food act have declared that II
must not be used in good products, and
while not poisonous or hurtful, 1t is
held as an adulteration under the pure
food law.
