and will take the place Of other fruit
when 1t is scarce. Before using they
should be washed in warm water I'M

clean, turn them on a sieve to drain

currants at a time and sprinkle them
on plate to discover If any small
stones remain.
1t is a good plan to clean currants as
soon as they come into the house and
TO store them in q jar, and 1t is easiest
not to attempt more than a pound at
time. They must on no account be
used when they are wet or hot, and
they should have a little -four sprink

with other ingredients. II liked they
may be scalded with boiling water to
make them plump and tender, but
even in this case they must be thor
oughly dried and Toured before being
used. It is much cheaper to buy seed
ed raisins than to seed them your
self. But to seed them pour boil
ing water over them and let them
stand for about ten minutes. Drain
and rub each raisin between your
thumb and finger. The seeds will
come out clean.

How to Cook Prunes.

do not boil prunes. Soak them over
night in cold water to cover them,

taste. Put in the prunes and let them
merely simmer for half an hour.
Some cooks simply pour boiling
water over them and let them stand
on the back of the stove a few
hours. Sometimes lemon juice,
orange peel or cinnamon is added to
stewed prunes for sake Of variety
Another method is to cook them with
a bag Of mixed spices. Prunes are

Douglas Tells Coroner's
Jury of Finding Dowsey

There was n small bruise ON the
right temple. just under tho hair
line" said Or. Tiffin. (which was
about three-quarters of an inch in
diameter. and did not extend farther
than the frontal bone. examined
the skull for fracture. but found
none. The tissue beneath was
bruised. giving It the appearance of
being suffused with blood. I then
removed the skull cap and found a
hemorrhagc that started low and cx-
tended over the entire brain"
Explaining the actions Of one
stricken with apopiexy. the coroner
said:
while in most cases one stroke
causes death, a man may have two
or even three successive strokes be-
fore death comes. The effect Of the
first stroke Is to knock one down,
paralyzing some member OF tho body.
The general tendencies OF tho man
stricken In to thresh about like a
maniac until tho following stroke.

wound In his head by striking II with
great force while struggling on the
floor OF the Mushroom"

first physician TO reach Dowsey aft
er the discovery Of his body. said
Tuesday morning that In his opinion
Dowsey had not suffered an apoplec-
tic stroke. but had been struck over
the head with a dead instrument.
Asked what a dead instrument was.
he replied:
"a dead instrument. IA ono which
transmits beyond the force OF con-
tact, meaning that while the actual
blow may not be severe. the force
transmitted to other parts OF the
head IL far In excess OF the power
OF the blow received. A canvas bag
filled with small shot would be de-
scribed AZ n dead instrument"

EOR the love of comfort and health, stop and think
1 about the coal situation!
Unless you solve the coal problem NOW you may
fuss, and fume and shiver when the cold months ar
rive
The coal dealers don't want the public to be with
out coal when the cold days come That's why they
banding together to call attention to the prob
able shortage next fall.
Newspapers throughout the United States have
been stating the facts There's coal shortage loom
ing the horizon Mines are not producing the
amount Of coal necessary, because thousands of for
eignborn miners leaving America to return to
Europe immigration restriction, put into effect dur
ing the war, stopped the influx of miners
And in addition to the labor problem, coal dis
tribution next fall will be hampered by transporta-
ton difficulties Crop movements longest the rail
roads just about the time the public begins calling
for coal
There is one sensible solution of the whole dis
tressing problem-that is to FILL YOUR COAL
BINS NOW.
Don't wait until the shortage is upon you and the
coal dealers swamped with orders and shy on
coal and transportation facilities.
Decide how much coal you can take care Of Then
