SO often with the fork attack that the
top of pepper buster could not have
possibly contained more perforations.
The forks were both bent UP in the
attack so as to render them useless

This stabbing with the fork indicated
that the murderer thought thus to
reach her heart and end her life. But
jthe bludgeon was apparently later
used and as many as five or six ter
rible stroked were plainly apparent
in the different appertures in her head

Her sewing was still under the need
lie of her machine on the front porch
of the house. Her shoes were in the
room adjoining the kitchen She
lay in her stocking feet, her dress and
underwear partially Stripped away from
her neck and right shoulder, but still
pinned with two safety pins. About
her throat were slight signs that she
may have first been choked into in
sensibility, and around her me blood
from her body had flowed clear across
the room. Her brains were shattered
and scattered to the walls of the
kitchen by the powerful strokes of the
implement of death used by the brute.

urated with her own blood, till ten
o'clock last night when DR.. Dorminy,
of Seville, made close medical exam

Emphasizing the imperative need
for the saving of nut shells and fruit
pits, with which carbon is made for
the life-snving gas masks that the

masks provide the only protection
against the poisonous gases used in
modern warfare. Our boys must
have this protection.

Is no one i'll this state-man. woman.
or child--who will not earnestly and
enthusiastically set about to collect
fruit pits and nut shells. It is Of
vital Importance in saving the preci.
GUS lives Of our boys now engaged
in the terrific struggle. All school
superlntendents. teachers, the pulpit
and the press should give everyone
to understand how much depends up.
or this work.
AS an illustration: Two hundred
peach stones. or seven pounds Of
otner pits and shells will provide sui.
iicient carbon for one gas mask. On.

OF the material required by the gov
eminent:
