Evidence Left in Express ONCE
When Authorities Drop Mys-
terry Investigation.

TAMPA. Fla, October 2.-Evidence
which may be important in determin-
ing the cause of the death of Mrs. E..
NJ. Steinhouse of this city, whose body
was found on the east bank of the
Hilsboro river early in the morning
about three weeks ago, lies in the ex-
press office here. while Coroner ]. E.
Williams, who is in charge of the in
quiry, is trying to persuade the board
of county commissioners that the
county should pay the $3.50 that is due
on it and which must be paid before
he can secure the package.
The evidence is the woman's stom-
ach and an analysis of its contents by
an Atlanta chemist to which ii was
sent by the coroner. Because there
were no marks of violence on the
body and because a brother of the
woman came here from Chicago and
announced that he was satisfied there
had been no foul play in connection
with her death, the board by tie
vote, 2 to 2. today decidH that the
county had spent enou>h money on
the case and would not pay the chem
lists bill and the expense charges.

GERMAN LEAGUE STATUS.
Herr Won Prittwitz Discusses Pact
Issues.

BERLIN. October 1.-Germany has
no occasion to try to force her way
into the present league of nations so
long as warfare is still being carried
on in proximity to her boundaries. Lee
cation Counsellor Won PrittwitZ, rep
resenting the foreign office, told the
delegates to the German peace league
conference in session at Brunswick.
Herr Won Prittwitz added that when
the time arrived for Germany's entry
into the league she would demand a
reform in the leagues organization,
which. he asserted. now leaves much
to be desired. "In connection with the
Lupen and Malmedy decision" Herr
Won PrittwitZ declared. "Germany's ex-
periences with the league as now organ
lied were dismal
He added that the government had
no official Information that Germany
was about to be invited to join the
league, but told the delegates. how
ever, that it would soon be called on
to reach it's decision.

There is no one thing that would
make easier the farm woman's work
than to have water power in the house.
The nature of her duties demands an
early rising and Late retiring; but
the countless steps in carrying water
and emptying water; carrying parings
and vegetables and unused fruits to
the pals for the pigs: carrying many
times day fresh water for the fowls;
carrying, heating, emptying tubs for
the bath, for the laundry, for the cook

work out the rest of her problems.
Her garden, her orchards, her fowls,
her dairy. her lawn, fill up hours which
city people do not need to use. She
will have more time for reading and
be less of a drudge If she can but
have a perfected system of water
works.
Several years ago the department

thousands of farm women asking what
their homes most needed. One OF
the letters in reply contained the

other letters
An adequate water supply is need

many homes is the reason why the
women doing the work in it are still
pumping and carrying water.

GOVERNMENT WARNS
AGAINST SACCHARlN
Use of Substance in Place OF
Sugar Is Condemned.
Many Housewives Do Net Understand
That Drug Is Serious Menace to
Healtt-Maj ority Of States
Prohibit Its Use.

The use of snccharin in place OF
being tempted to resort to in these
days Of sugar shortage, may involve
menace to the health, and therefore
is to be condemned, according to spe-
cialists in the bureau of chemistry OF
the United States department of a.'
riculture. In most cases housewives
have turned to this substance in their
emergency because they do not under
stand that saccharin Is harmful
drug; to consider it Il harmless. health
fuI substitute for sugar is absolutely
false, say the governments chemists.
The department of agriculture has
received a number of inquiries from
housewives concerning the properties
of saccharin, and in every case it has
answered by cOndemning the use of
the drug for cooking purposes. 1t
calls attention to the fact that the bu-
reau Of chemistry is now aiding In the
prosecution of Il large ST. Louis con
