sand pounds Of butter was seized in
cold storage houses and freight cars
In Chicago by federal agents yesterday
and Department Of Justice men started
out on the trail of more than 100000
pounds more in their first active
drive against food pirates.
The butter was seized on tech
nicality, but 1t was announced in the
federal building that the purpose was
to get immediate action on profiteers
and hoarders. The same course will
be followed in sugar and canned
goods seizures, 1t was said in the
district attorneys office.
The government intends to make
the warehousemen and hoarders dis
gorge the immense stores Of food
that has been discovered in Chicago
and warrants are to be issued for
the owners Immediately upon the re-
turn Of United States Attorney Clyne
from Washington.
The warrants have been prepared
and are awaiting his signature. A
score OF deputy marshals will scour
the city TOR the hoarders named.
ne puii.eis raids we're led ny Ie-
putty U. s. Marshal Henry Deike. At
each place libel writs were served
on the cold storage men and the slOre
rooms were sealed. Three hundred
tubs Of butter were found in a car on
siding in-the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy yards. M
The largest seizure was made in
the Chicago Cold Storage company's

fiscated. or this amount $50 tubs

During the warm days of August the
sensible housewife does very nttie
"fussing" over her Sunday night teas
Most families prefer to eat very plain
fare. rather than have the cook of the
family overdo in the exhausting heat
Indeed, the tendency among the ma
jority of families, is to have the Sum
DAY night meal more of a bite" gen.
orally eaten on the porch), than reg
ular meal.
b Such n meal as this should consist
of all-cold foods. The following menu
is sensible one:
Hard Boiled Eggs
Potato Salad
Cream Cheese Sandwiches
Iced Tea Ice Cream
Hard boiled eggs are ideal for little
picnic meal of this sort, and they
should be put on the porch table IN
their shells, each person removing the
shell from his or her own egg.
Stuffed eggs or cold sliced meat might
be offered in place of the hard boiled
eggs, If desired, to furnish the protein
element of the meal.
The starch element Of the meal is
provided by the potato salad. This
can be made early in the day and put
on ice Either a mayonnaise dressing
or whipped cream dressing (made by
adding whipped cream to the mayon-
naise drcssing) may be used:
Mayonnaise Potato Salad Dressing
Two tablespoons of mustard. i tea
spoon salt, teaspoon black and red
pepper mixed. Blend these thoroughly
and sift them over the boiled, sliced
potatoes. Now take the yoke of 3
eggs, tablespoons Of salt, and
tablespoon of butter. Put the vinegar

How Advertising Saves.

Clipped from an exchange
Did you ever stop to think how much
more quickly you can buy an adver-
tiSed article. or how much time YOU
can save in huying goods at Il store
whose advertising has made you ac-
quainted with the fact the store is on
the square. and that its management
is capable Of providing the latest and
hest goods.
Advertising. says Il bulletin from the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World. makes buying quicker as well
as safer. for through advertising the
housewife finds where she can get the
kind of goods slle wants. 1t saves her
the time of going from place to place,
many times. and enables her to buy
more quickly when she does find what
suits her.
This fact is sharply demonstrated.
the bulletin suggests. by the slowness
with which people buy from small ven
doris about summer resorts and under
other circumstances wherein they are
not acquainted with the merchant.
They examine the goods, and ask many
more questions than they would at a
store whose policies are known to
them.
Advertising is news. says the bulle-
tin-ncwS Of what is best to buy. news
Of what the article is good for, and
news of where it may be obtained ut
the best advantage.

Under the heading. A Card" lead
inng citizens of Bossier Parish pro
tested against an article that appeared
in the New Orleans Republican under
the heading of Outlaw Killed in Clai-
borne" and the Objectionable article
read: I'VE have received Il private
letter from Minden. Claiborne Parish.
stating that the notorious DIR. w. NJ.
Swami was killed near there on the
Goth. The writer states that lie was Il
pest Of whom the community is well
rid. and that he was killed on an eN-
peditiOn with his men," TO which ar
ticIe the citizens protested as follows: !:
The above paragraph does DR.. w. NJ.
Swami Il gross injustice. and is false
in every particular. DR.. Swami has
not been killed. but is still alive and i'll
good health: has been engaged in no
expedition with his men, and instead
of being the leader of band organ
lied for unlawful purposes. as the
above paragraph inSinuates. he is con-
nected with no organization of any
kind whatever. He is highly esteemed
by the community in which he has re,
sided for nearly Il year. and in justice
to him we cheerfully lend our names
to contradict the asperSions upon his
character in the above article" And
that paragraph was signed as follows
a. Il. Levisee. Judge Tenth District
Court: James :. Ashton. District At
torney: J. 4. Heron. Foreman Grand
Jury for Bossier Parish: l.. W. Baker.

The foregoing is a valuable docu-
ment. which many citizens of BOssier

ago. DIR. Swami died about forty years
ago. after practicing his profession at
