FILLS Of DEATH
OF c. c. FROST
Officer Lost His Life When Ticon-
deroga Was Sunk by Submarine
on September 80

Mrs. E. N. Marsh and family OF Bar
aboo have received a copy Of The Gil
izen, published at Berea, Kentucky
which tells Of the death at sea of Firs
Lieutenant Cleveland Cady Frost, so
Of Professor and Mrs. w. G. Frost
of Berea. Mrs. Frost's father wa
the late Alexander Marsh OF Delto
and the daughter Of Mrs. /. J. Latt
mer of the village His father is tn
president of Berea college, and know
in this county.
KILLED BY SUBMARINE
The Citizen tells how he lost hi
life on the Ticonderoga as follows:
The Ticonderoga, formerly the
German steamship Camilla Risk
mers, was a freighter heavily load
ed $1,000 tons of horses) with 125
men under Frost's command. Her
engines seemed to have been de-
fective so that she dropped behind
the convoy and was attacked by
submarine. From the meager &C
counts of the navy and a letter
from a surviving soldier, James
D. Sumner, to his wife at Cross
Anchor, S. c., we gather that the
vessel was put in a sinking condi-
tion at once (6:20 a. m. Sept. 30)
and her wireless telegraph appa-
ratus shot away One of the first
shots killed Lieut.. Frost, who was
standing on the upper deck. He
was hit in the breast, died imne-
dateIy, and his face in death wore
smile.
The commander of the vessel
seems to have gotten sailors and
soldiers into lifeboats in good or
der. This should have saved them
for by the laws of civilized war
fare men in unarmed boats above
others have the right to surrender
and be paroled. But the German
commander determined to kill all
and leave no trace. The boats
and men were shot to pieces with
SElEdHHGl dI STIOfI TduHCs
One boat was commanded to ap-
preach, questioned, and tied to the
submarine so it would be sunk
when it submerged. But the rope
broke and this boatIoad of men
was picked up after drifting in a
starved condition FOR four days,
and SO lived to tel! the tale.
HIS LIFE
The main facts in his life are az
follows:
He was born in Berea, KY, April
1896.
He united with Union church, 1908
He graduated from Berea academy
1912.

Nuts and pinestion.

The reason nuts are thought fndiges-
dble by some is because of the thin
skin surrounding each kernel, notes a
medical authority. This can easily be
blanched of by pouring boiling water
on the nut, and allowing it to stand
for a few moments. Almonds should
never be. eaten with the red, tough
skin on the nut meat. When boiling
water is poured on the almond, this
skin becomes as tough as leather. The
best way to use nuts for children is to
grind the nut meats or pound them,
for which purpose the nut-butter knife
In the meat grinder viii be found the
right tool. A good nut cracker with
strong spring makes nut-cracking
easy, and is preferable to buying the
ready-pfcked meats on the market.
