Qo1icS Of the Past

Washboards, washtubs, hot, steam

of disturbing nature that you natu-

becoming things of the past.
They will soon be classed with relics
of bygone days to be found only in mu-
seums. Not only does washday in the
home stand for gloom and trouble, but

j. S. UNCERTAIN
ON QUESTION OF
ADRlATIC COAST
Issue Presented by Serbia Has
Not Been Definitely Con-
sidered by American
ENJOYS.

Paris, Jan. 6.-The attitude of the
United States toward the treaty be-
tween Italy and France, Great Brit
ain and Russia relative to the east
ern coast of the Adriatic has not
been clearly defined as far as known.
In stating the line to which the
Austrian troops must retire, the
armistice outlined the frontier as it
is defined in the treaty. This was
accepted by the inter-allied confer
ence, but it is understood that Col.
T. M. House. the American repre-
sentative, stated that the designation
of frontier as it stood in the treaty
between the four nations was not
to be taken as expressing any posi-
ton by the United States on that
treaty.
The same situation was again pre-
scented when American warships par
ticipated in carrying out of the ma
val clauses of the armistice with
Austria. The occupation of ports was
made largely under the supervision
of the Italian navy, which had
large number of warships along the
eastern coast of the Adriatic The
Jugo-Slav element there manifested
some opposition, but owing to the
delicacy of the issues involved, the
question of Americas attitude, one
way or the other, was deferred.

NEAR CAPTURE
BY b0LSHEVIKI
Dark Age Tortures and Out
ragged Girls 0ffenses Charged
to UkrainianS at Lem.
berg and Kiev.
BY the Associated Press.

Warsaw, Saturday, Jan. 4.-The
names of Wilma, Lemberg and Kiev
are being written in blood-red let
tiers along the western frontier of
Russia, and scores of smaller cities
lying between the cities also are
being destroyed by the bolsheviki.
According to trustworthy reports
reaching Warsaw, the bolsheviki are
adding fortunes of the dark ages to
the customary horrors of guerrilla
warfare.
The Poles are making a gallant
defense of Lemberg with limited
means, but the bolshevik Ukrainians,
aided by German guns and German
gunners, slowly are destroying the
city. The besiegers are estimated
to number $4,000, commanded by
former Premier Holubowicz of the
Ukraine, who also was chairman of
the Ukrainian peace delegation at
Brest-Litovsk. The Ukrainians
threaten the water and electric sup
plies of the city. while food is be-
coming very scarce. Only a few
Of the civilian population have been
able to escape from the city.
Cruelty Unparalleled.
The Polish troops are being aided
in the defense of the city by many
citizens of Lemberg, including girls
and boys.
The archbishop of Lemberg is au-
thority for the statement that girls
taken prisoners by the besiegers are
outraged and tortured. The arch
bishop says that the cruelties of the
bolsheviki have no parallel in mod
ern history.
Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, which
has been relatively quiet for the last
month, is rapidly getting into the
hands of the bolsheviki. The separ-
atist leader, Petlura. is declared to
have reached an agreement with
Trotzky and Lenine and Russian
bolshevik troops are spreading
southwestward. The terms of the
alliance between Petlura and the
Moscow government are said to pro-
vide that the two states shall retain
their mutual independence and that
no obstacle shall be permitted to
prevent the teaching of bolshevik
doctrines.
The German troops in the Ukraine
appear to have been unable to re-
move their munitions. Stores valued
at 100000 rubles are said to have
fallen into the hands of the bolshe-
wiki at Kiev.
On the northern end of the line
the Poles are striving to protect
Wilma from the bolshevik flood.

WEALTHY farmer
HELD ON CHARGE.
FILED BY GIRL
Julius Mauss Said to Have
'ntatuation for Daughter
OF Neighbor, Who Put
Him Under Bonds.

Julias Mauss, wealthy farmer
living near Crescent, Ia, was
brought to Council Bluffs yesterday
and placed under bonds to keep the
peace. The chief complainants were
members of the family OF George
Collins, also a prominent farmer,
but the information upon which
Mauss was arrested was signed by
Martha Collins, H-year-old daugh-
ter.
1t is alleged that Mauss has con-
,eived violent infatuation for the
young girl. Although he is more
than twice her age, he has been
pressing his suit with a vigor that
has alarmed the family. Yesterday
he stopped her, it is asserted, and
made advances that she construed
to be threats.
Neighbors were called in and the
whole history of the man was gone
over. Mauss owns two large farms,
and in September last neighbors be-
came concerned at the manner in
which he was treating his live
stock.
.... Sent to Clarinda.
He was brought before the in
sanity commissioners and sent to
= Clarinda. After a short stay there
his condition improved and he was
oaroled in care of guardian.
His sister, Mrs. Emma Cowles,
wife of prominent Omaha con-
tractor, was appointed guardian, and
John {. Wharton, former Omaha
postmaster, was the attorney for
the estate.
o. Mr.. Wharton came to Council
Bluffs yesterday and was presenting
an application to Judge Wheeler for
the discharge Of the guardian and
the restoration of Mauss to his legal
sights when the man was brought
in by Sheriff Groneweg's deputy.
f.. Judge Refuses Application.
Il don't think you want this man
discharged, Mr.. Wharton" Judge
Wheeler said, after whispered in
formation had been given him. His
neighbors and friends are greatly
concerned over him and he is now
in the hands of the sheriff down
stairs
The peace bond was fixed at $500,
and Mauss offered the amount in
War Savings stamps. When the
officers went to his place last fall
they found an open l0-gallon lard
can filled with war bonds and
stamps, real estate mortgages,
1t, was entirely unguarded.

How Barnes Lost Arm.
Barnes lost his arm during April,
1894, and thereby hangs a story
which has been related many times
in Washington county and the coun-
tryside.
Twenty-Five years ago the Barnes
family owned farm near the river,
nine miles northeast of Blair. Pat
Quinlan of Blair owned land ad-
joining the Barnes tract, but had
difficulty keeping renters on his
place on account of the troubles
caused by Barnes. In April of
1894 Mr.. Quinlan and his son, Billy,
announced their determination to
occupy their land, and they served
notice on the Barnes family. When
the Quinlans appeared on the scene,
a pistol battle ensued. Billy Quin-
Ian, directing a As caliber Colts,
shot William Barnes right arm off
Harrison Barnes, father of the
Barnes boys. suffered wound. 'le
Quinlans then ordered that the two
wounded men should be removed
from the scene. On the next day
the Barnes advertised their farm for
sale.
The Barnes family comprised
three sons, William, Samuel and
Ross, and four daughters, one of
whom now resides in North Omaha.
Harrison Barnes, the father, lives in
Florence. William Barnes has been
in Omaha frequently during the
last few months. For several years
he has engaged in hunting and trap
ping near Decatur, Neb. He mar
ried Miss Henson, an English girl
of Blair. She killed herself, and a
daughter recently took her own
life, Z.
Shortly after his marriage Will
liam Barnes was convicted for steal
ing hogs and was sentenced to the
penitentiary at Fort Madison, Ia.
Billy Quinlan, who put a quietus
on the Barnes reign of terrorism, is
now living on a farm at California
Junction, Ia.
The Barnes family moved to
Washington county from Kentucky
Is years ago.

VEGETABLES AS MEDICINE

Successful Farming
We wonder how many Of our read
ers ever think Of the medicinal value
that lies in the common garden vege-
tables. We all raise vegetables. We
al eat vegetables. How many Of US
are able to adapt such vegetables to
our needs--that is, use them 1t the
opportune time ! Most vegetables pos
sess curative elements, such a. are
used by physicians in the curing Of
disease. Here are . few Of them:
Celery is highly valuable for rheu-
matism. rs well as for nervous dys-
pepsia-
Tomatoes have been called "veee-
table calomel" because Of the way
they act ON the liver. They should
be eaten raw, for cooking destroys
the medicinal quality to q certain ex-
tent.
Onions are very good for nervous
conditions. Nervous prostration can
be considerably helped by IN onion
diet.
Carrots and beets should be eaten
for the purpose Of improving the
blood.
Lettuce is splendid for sleeplessness
as the stalk contains substance that
has been compared to opium for its
soothing power, altho 1t has none Of
the harmful effects Of opium.
The same is true Of certain fruits rs
well as vegetables. Lemons are very
good for billousness and liver COM
plant. They are fine for cleaning the
blood and keep ing it pure. and especi-
ally for persons eating considerable
meat and few vegetables and fruits.
Cranberries are said to be valuable
IN case Of maleria.
Rsars contain much iron and are ex-
eellent in Ill these conditions Of the

LITTLE HELPS AND HINTS

Ever try to empty the ashes from q
fireplace or furnace and have them
blow all over? II you will sprinkle
q little water over them, they will not
blow about.
Next time you forget and set q hot
dish on top of your polished table,
dampcn soft cloth with little wood
alcohol and rub the white marks left
by the hot dish. They will quickly
disappear without marring the sur
face Of the table and will not take on
the vafnish.
Save q cleaners bill and clean your
white kid gloves at home, by simply
mixing q little benzine with cornstarch
and applying it to the soiled gloves.
Use only enough cornstarch to make
the benzine milky. This will also
clean white shoes.
If you cannot afford to buy alumi-
mum utensils for your kitchen, and in
stead buy the tin variety, they may be
kept clean and shiny for long time
II well oiled and placed in q moderate
ly hot oven for short time. This will
make it practically rust proof. Old
tinware may be secured thoroly and
treated in the same way.
Ever try to thread q needle with
wool when sewing? II you will fol-
low the method described here it will
be an easy matter to insert the thread
in the eye Of the needle. Fold the
end Of the wool over the needle near
the point, then slip the needle out
leaving a sharp fold held tightly be.
tween the thumb and finger Of the left
hand. With the right hand push the
eye Of the needle down over the fold
and draw the wool through.

for the little girls. Just cut off the
worn-out upper, and stitch up the side
openings. Make waist Of heavy
unbleached muslin, or, if long enough,
finish the top Of the petticoat with q

Another good way to use the tails
