HAGENBECK WALLACE CIRCUS
TRAIN IN WRECK.

Plunging through thin morning
lake haze at sixty miles an hour a
massive empty troop train early Sat
urday morning hammered its way
headlong into the old style wooden
sleeping cars of the Hagenbeck-Wal-
lace circus train, between Gary and
Iyanhoe, Indiana. and left stream Of
dead and dying. 1t is estimated that
eighty persons perished in the wreck,
while over hundred were more or
less seriously injured Many OF the
unfortunate persons were burned to
death in the flames which consumed
the wooden sleeping cars, which had
been reduced to mere kindling wood.
n Manchester people will remember
what a hit this circus made here In
1915, on the fair grounds. Many Of
the noted performers we're in Man
chester on that occasion. Others were
in Manchester in 1912 and 1913, with
the Flying Moores, who performed on
the streets during the carnivals OF
those years.
The immense loss of life in this
wreck is due to the fact that the cir
Gus people were travelling in old-style
sleeping cars, and when the heavy
troop train struck, the wooden cars
were crushed like match boxes.

MRS. Il. v. TUTTLE
ANSWERS SUMMONS
DEATH OCCURS AT FAMILY HOME
IN KINGFISHER, OKLAHOMA,
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
FUNERAL SERVICE HELD TUESDAY
News Of Mrs. Tuttle's Death Brings
Sorrow to Many Manchester
People.

A message announcing the death OF
Mrs. H. W. Tuttle was received Tues
day afternoon by friends in Manches-
ter. AS stated last week Mrs. Tut
tie had been in a very serious condi-
tion for some time. and that her re-
covery was doubtful. Although know
ling this to be true. friends Of the fam
lilly were reluctant to believe she
would be called at this time In March
she submitted to an operation, and
soon after that complications develop
ed and she began to fail. The message
states that she passed away at the
family home on Monday afternoon,
and that funeral services were held at
Kingfisher, Oklahoma, Tuesday. Inter
|ment was also made at Kingfisher
Myra White Tuttle came to Man
chester from western New York in
August, 1889. as the bride of Rev. H.
w. Tuttle, who had been called as the
pastor of the First Congregational
church. She at once became leader
in local church activities, and was tru-
,ly pastors helpmate. For sixteen
years she was intimately identified
with the activities of the Congrega-
tional church and in fact every move
ment that was aimed at the better
ment of the community and the well
fare of the children and young people.
In 1906 Rev. and Mrs. Tuttle moved
to Grinnell in order that their chill
dren might have the advantages of the
college. During the years that the

Mrs. Charles Slack of Waterloo died
at her home early Sunday morning
after an illness Of only few hours.

at Waterloo Tuesday forenoon and
interment was made in the Waterloo
cemetery. Among the relatives from
Manchester who attended the services
were Mr.. and Mrs. George Slack, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Slack, Mr.. Albert

family lived at Grinnell Mrs. Tuttle
was especially instrumental in helping
many young people who were desirous
of getting an education. Many a
homesick boy and girl found their
home place to which they could
come for comfort and help. The Tut
tie home was always occupied by a
number Of young men, who were at
tending college, and whom she was
ever ready and willing to assist in
every way possible Sunday evenings
after the chapel services OF the col
lege she usually had from twelve to
fifteen young people at her home. The
young people who came under that in
fluence can never forget the gracious
hospitality, and the words of comfort
and cheer that came from her lips.
Mrs. Tuttle was a woman Of excep-
tional executive ability in the home
and in church activities. She not on
| ly reared her family OF children and
assisted her husband in his work, but
cared for the aged parents of her hus-
band Grandfather and Grandmother
! Tuttle, who spent their declining
years in their home Had Mrs. Tut
tie been their own daughter, she could
not have lavished upon them more
love and devotion than she did.
Mrs. Tuttle is survived by her hus-
band, and four children. Her older
son, Rev. William N Tuttle, is now
the pastor Of the Congregational
church at Nashua, Iowa, and the
younger son, Herbert, enlisted in the
United States Marine service last sum
mer, and has now been for some time
with the American forces at the front
in France Her older daughter, Miss
Edith Tuttle, has been teaching in
Kingfisher college during the past
year, and the younger daughter, Miss
Margaret, is at home One daughter,
Lucy, died at the age of two years.
She is also survived by two brothers
who live in Buffalo, New York.
The news of Mrs Tuttles death has
brought profound sorrow to many peo-
pie in Manchester, and heartfelt sym
pathy goes out to the family so sore
ly afflicted.

BERT s. MULLEN GOES TO WATER
LOO.

Bert S. Mullen, who has been in the
employ of the Delaware County Tele-
phone company for fourteen years,
has resigned his position here and
goes to Waterloo early in July, to ac-
cept a position as electrician with
the Waterloo & Cedar Falls Railway
company. Mr.. Mullen begins his work
with the Waterloo company July Sth,
but his family will not leave Manches-
ter for several months. Bert is a
skilled workman and has been valu-
able man for the local company. The
handsome salary which the Waterloo
company offered him induced him to
make the change. Friends of the fam
lily will regret to learn of their in
tention to leave Manchester, but wish
them success in Waterloo.

STRETCH THE SUGAR SUPPLY.

Sugar is scarce, so scarce in fact
that it is no longer possible to buy
the larger amount for canning tthat
was allowed earlier in the season.
The fruit crop must be saved, Fruits
are so necessary to health that it
would be grave mistake to go with
out them for lack of sugar They
should be canned without sugar rath-
er than not canned at all.
How to Meet the Situation.
i. Dry fruits in large quantities.
2. Can fruits and fruit juices with
out sugar This may be successfully
done by the Cold Pack method
They will keep as we'll or better.
Less storage space is necessary.
They may be made into sauces. jelly
or sirups as needed.
8. Use the minimum amount Of
sweetening for fruits Cultivate a
taste for the natural fruit flavor The
fruit acids are especially important in
the diet.
4. Limit the amounts OF jelly and
preserves. These should be limited to
the needs Of invalids and children.
These may be made as needed from
unsweetened canned fruits and juices.
Use the least amount of sugar or sirup
in making these. See proportions CIV
en- later.
5. Use sugar substitutes for cook
ing fruits and in fruit combinations,
These are brown sugar, corn sugar,
corn sirup, fruit sirup, glucose, honey,
maple sugar, maple sirup, sorghum,
New Orleans molasses.
6. Use raw fruits without sugar.
Fresh, ripe fruits may be enjoyed at
the table without sugar just as when
eaten in orchard or garden.
z Use less sugar with little salt
for jam and marmalade. When made
in this way the products should stand
five or six days without using. The
salt taste disappears in this time.
To can, cut fruits, pack Jars closely.
Fill with hot sirup made as follows.
Cook in the jar the required time.
l meause Of sugar.
measure of corn sirup
measures of water.
Combine and bring to boiling.
For more explicit directions for can
ming and preserving come to the Home
Demonstration Agents office. Learn
how to deal with each kind of fruit and
how to test to show how much sugar
to use.
Save the fruits at any rate. what
ever you do

DID YOU KNOW THISl

That of more than 100000 appli-
cants for enlistment in the regular
army from 1914 to 1917, seventy eight
tout of every hundred were rejected
because of physical unftness? That
during the first year of the war, in
England's armies, nine men were
killed every hour on the battlefield,
while at home fourteen children died
every hour, most of them from pre-
ventable causes. That in the United
States twenty-eight babies die every
hour?
Yes, these and other equally start
ling statements are only too true.
The fact, however, that is Of the most
Importance for Delaware county
mothers is that the kind of physical
defects which cause rejection for the
army occur first in the pre-school age,
and at that time can and should be
prevented The time for us to save
our children is before, not after, they
are ILL"
Delaware County Physicians Give
Their Time and Help.
The children of the county are to
be given the opportunity free of
charge to be examined, have physical
measurements taken, defects noted,
and in fact a thorough examination
made of their. condition. The physi-
clans have agreed to give their time
for the two weeks commencing July
1st to this work Mothers will be
notified as to the time for the exami-
nation which will be made by the ply
sician in his office.
A National Enterprise.
This work is being conducted by the
United States government. which fact
alone, proves it's Importance Fhe
cards stating the condition of every
child of pre-school age will be filed
at headquarters. Every mother should
realize at once the Importance of CO.
operation in the movement and should
act Immediately upon notification
Put Iowa Over the Top the Third Time
Iowa was the first state to go over
the top in the third Liberty loan. All
Iowans are justly proud of the fact.
Iowa went over the top in the matter
of signatures to the food pledge. Now
let's put Iowa over the top in the
most important of all things namely
healthy babies. Every baby deserves
the best possible chance to grow into
healthy maturity, and the chance is at
our very door. So be ready to co-op-
crate with the Woman's Committee
of the National Council of Defense,
which is Systematically organized,
consisting of chairmen in the town
ships and sub-chairmen in the school
districts, who will see to it that every
mother of child of pre-school age
receives registration card.

". S. s. DRIVE ENDS JUNE 18TH.

The big drive to put Iowa over the
top in War Savings and Thrift Stamps
closes on Friday, June 2sth. Della
ware county is expected to raise
$3.50 900, and at this time there re-
mains quite large amount to, be
raised. Delaware county went over
the top in the third Liberty loan, and
lit is safe to predict that when the to-
tails are footed up the last of the
week the county will also go over
the top in the War Savings Stamp
drive.
State Director Homer A. Miller. has
addressed the following telegram to
the chairman of the local committee,
H. c. Seeds:
"The Treasury Department of the
United States demands that each in
dividual pay his fair share of War
Savings Stamps. This is to be based
upon their ability to buy and can only
be determined by allotment. If your
locality has record of Third Liberty
Loan allotment you can see that this
allowing the amount or war Savings
Stamps in proportion as the quota of
War Savings Stamps is to the Third
Liberty Loan quota. The Treasury
Department warns that many have
purchased $4,000 to $4,000 worth Of
War Savings Stamps when it will be
expected of them to buy $4,000 to
$1,000.00 worth. The people of
means must assume their fair share
in this matter. This the Treasury
Department requests and it looks to
you to see to it that the governments
orders are fully complied with on or
before June 3Sth. proclaimed by
President Wilson as War Savings
Day

accident last Saturday morning while
doing some work about the house. It
seems that Mr. Ainsworth was put
ting on screens when he fell from a
cement step and struck his head
The blow rendered Mr.. lAinsworth un-
conscious, and for time his, con-
dition was very serious, At this time
he is recovering from the effects of
the stunning blow, and will soon be

-er, as follows:
June 5th, 1918.
Dear Mother and ALI
It is Just two weeks since I arriv-
ed in France and must say that 1t
has been some busy time. The wealth
er and climate are delightful. This
is market day in the town where l
am at present located and it is a nov
.el sight to see these French people
bring in their stuff to sell, especially
the older ladies with their little white
bonnets. Everybody works in this
country from the youngest to the old
est and it is really remarkable what
the women do in the line of work.
I haven't had any sugar, butter or
white bread since landed and as we
drink wine or beer for dinner and sup
per / don't look for milk. For break
fast we have a cup of chocolate and
piece Of bread, sometimes an egg, but
this costs extra. It was a little hard
at first but now l don't look for these
things so / am not disappointed and
Just as we'll satisfied.
The Chicago Tribune publishes a
four-page daily and we get some news
from the states every day, also the
baseball scores, which is great treat
for most Americans
We get some war news but nothing
like back in the states. suppose the
papers back home are printing extra
editions every hour about this present
drive
l have had the pleasure Of seeing
the new Liberty motor and also saw
the new machines fly. 1t is a very
common sight to see several planes in
the air most any time you look up,
from where I am located.
Expect to go to Paris tomorrow to
arrange for equipment, etc, for open

With much love to all, am
