DEATH OF GENEVA JORDAN

1t is with sad hearts that we note
the death of little Geneva Jordan
who died on May 23d, 1913.
Geneva was bright little girl and
to know her was to love her. She's
sleeping peacefully for the Lord will
gently wake her when he comes to
claim his own.
Geneva was years, 6 months and
16 days old. We should not weep,
for the good Lord has said. "Suffer
little children to come unto M. f-r
such is the Kingdom of Heaven" To
the heard broken father and mother
we extend our sympathy. W.B.M.

WIFE USES HISTORIC
 RIGHT, CHANGES MIND

Mrs. F. c. Peery, who yesterday made certain allegations in court action against her husband, believes that her action was ill-advised, ap- parently, for she has issued the fol- lowing statement:
 In view of the unwelcome news item in yesterdays paper I wish to explain to anyone interested that the so-called charges given therein are absolutely without adequate founda- tlon, and that being in an angry mood l unwisely sought the advice of one whom 1 had reason to believe would be my friend, and that the gross ex- aggerations and misrepresentations in the aforesaid charges against my husband, were made against my pro test and termed ordinary legal pro- cedure and necessary to make it strong"
 1 believe my husband has been as good to me as any woman could .eX- pect. We are all human, and as such subject to the common frailities of humanity, but my husband has never laid his hand upon me in anger, never threatened me with a pistol and certainly never discharged a revolver several times in my direction" He has always provided for me and re- sent our name being dragged in the mud.

A Question of Croquettes.

Since we have been urged so often
and emphatically to conserve fats, the
sort of dishes that need to be fried in
deep fats have to some extent become
neglected in our daily bill of fare. How
ever, this kind Of cooking is one that
lends itself especially well to making
Just the kind of dishes that we are es-
pecially wise in having-made-over
meat dishes that make use Of every last
bit of meat, dishes that combine little
meat with more rico or bread crumbs
Instead Of tasting soggy and like left
overs, these things when cooked in deep
tat have a crisp. appetizing flavor that
especially recommends deep fat cookery
for war time. Moreover, deep fat cook
cry Is especially wholesome when done
right. It is quite unlike ordinary fry
ing in which the food soaks in lot OF
fat. In deep fat the food cooks thor
oushly and comes out crisp. but not
over Drowned.
But when you realize that It is not
necessary to fry in lard, or any sort OF
animal fat for that matter you see
that we can still do deep fat frying and
be patriotic. Peanut butter proves
very good substitute 1Or lara III ueep
frying, and there is no ban on peanut
butter whatever There are several
other sorts of vegetable oils that an

fringing on the food conservation re-
strictions.

it is all right. After dipping the fry
ing basket in the fat to grease 1T, lay
in it four croquettes so that they do not
touch one another, and immerse them
in the fat Cook only long enough to
give them a delicate color. Let them
drain a moment over the hot fat. then
lift them from the basket with the hand
very quickly, so as not to burn the
hand, and place on a brown paper on
the hot shelf or in the open oven until
all are ready. Do not fry more than
four at one time, as more would reduce
the heat of the fat too much: Let the
fat become smoking hot before each
Immersion of croquettes. Hang the
basket on long iron spoon. so that
the hand will not be burned by the

bones on you'd md guard duty would

guard duty bone in our company you
Private Sandy Splits and Private Pete
Peters.
Them two birds between them have
broke every known and unknown rule,
regulation and custom appertaing to
the ancient and honorable custom of
walking guard And. not satisfied even
with that they have made up brand
new ideas Of their own and put them
into effect temporarily.
Night before last, furinsance, Private
Splits was posted in our company street,
and Sandy being ambitious had been
reading up on walking a post. For
hours he had been studying his little
blue Army book and he had all them
rules down by heart. And out here
walking back and forth he was saying
them out loud to himself: MY general
orders are: One-to take charge of this
post and all government property in
manner, keeping always on the alert
and observing everything that takes
place within sight and hearing. etc,
etc"
Well Sandy was saying all them
things over to himself when suddenly
an officer hove In sight. In a second
Sandy brought his rife down in a posi-
ton of charge baynuts and said, Halt"
Then in a couple OF seconds he said
halt again.
Then he said halt again, and then he
