VITAL ORGANS OF
MR.. F. D. SHEPARD
EXAMINED HERE

FORT VALLEY, Ga, Nov. S.-The
viscera of Mr.. Fred D. Shepard. whose
death on June 2 is under investiga-
ton as the result of an order by
Superior Court Judge Mathews. was
taken Sunday to Atlanta by DIR. M.
S. Brown for analysis by DR.. Aber-
crombie, state chemist. The analy-
sis, it was said, was to. be made
for the purpose of determining
whether Mr.. Shepard's death result
ed from poison.
The body was exhumed and re-
buried Saturday after the vital or
gans had been removed, and the
armed guard which had been on duty
at the grave since. the court order
was issued earlier in the week was
removed.
|. Solicitor General Charles H. Gar
rett stated last night that DIR. Aber-
crombie would be the most impor-
tant witness before the coronor's
jury when it reassembles November
II. The solicitor stated that the
laws of Georgia do not permit en-
balmerS to use embalming fluid that
contains arsenic or mercury.
DR.. Brown testified before the cor
onor's jury that the symptoms of
Mr.. Shepard's illness when he was
called in indicated arsenic or mer-
curial poisoning and at the opera
tion performed in a Macon hospital,
he said, black spots were found on
the intestines of the patient
Solicitor Garrett asserted that the
autopsy confirmed the statements of
DR., Brown as to the condition Of the
body.
The appearance of a will, mailed
anonymously to Mrs. Alice Gran
dali, Mr.. Shepard's sister, about two
weeks ago, lead to the investigation
of Mr.. Shepard's death.
At the time of his death, his wife
took charge of the estate. The will
gives her $4,000 and 500 a month
during her life time. and takes away
a large portion Of the estate which
she claimed.
Mrs. Shepard married Mr.. Shepard
in December of last year. Six weeks
ried DR.. F. E. Elmer, of Jackson
vile, Fla.
The case will be taken up agar,
Friday when a coroner's jury will
again sit at Fort Valley to- hear fur
Their testimony. At this hearing, the
state chemist is expected to be one
of the principal witnesses, testifying
en- from Mr.. Shepard's body show in
djcations of poisoning.
In order that there may be no mis-
take ms de in the analysis on account
of the preserce OF embalming fluid,
Solicitor General Charles H. Garrett
obtained the formula of the fluid
used in the preparation of Mr.. Shep-
ards body for burial and forwarded
it with the vital organs to the state
chemist. Georgia laws poVerning en-
balming do not permit the use of Ell
Their arsenic or mercury IN embalm-
ing, it was said, and it was these
kinds of poison which DR.. Brown
and d.. w. L. Orr testified Saturday

cial questions" should be obligatory.
Mr. Root wrote that the United
States ought to be willing so far as
questions were concerned to stand
''precisely on the same footing as
other nations but that with re-
gard to questions of policy, some dit.
ficult considerations are apparent.
He added, however:
THE great and essential thlng
about the plan contained in the cove
nant of the League of Nations IS
that it makes international confer
ences on political questions compul-
sorry in times of danger; that 1t
brings together such conferences
upon the call of officers who repre-
practically impossible for any ma
ton to keep out of them"
Structural Worth Preserving
Mr.. Root praised the scheme tor
international conference but pointed
out some of it's serious defects. The
important thing. however, is that Mr..
Root cabled Senator Harding from
London after a personal observation
of European affairs that the struc-
ture of the present treaty and the
league was worth preserving and was
by no means dead.
Some people will profess to see a
clear break between Senator Harding
and Mr.. Root Others are confident
that Senator Harding will do the
right thing when he calls confer
ence of the statesmen of America
and that the value of Mr.. Roots
judgment then will be fully tested.
The Root cablegram, which it is only
fair to say he did not give out for
publication, is the deliberate judg-
ment of a man who was secretary of
state under President Roosevelt and
the American representative at the
second HaOUn cOOf4renca
In Marion, however, there is dis
position to look upon Mr.. Root as
| having advanced to such an old age
as to be out of tune with the spirit
of the last election result and as
having such affiliations with the in
ternational banking groups as to
make his advice of doubtful value.
| Those are the two views and when
| President-eiect Harding returns to
his home 1t will become apparent eX-
actly how much Elihu Roots advice
| will be taken on matters of foreign
| policy.

PEACHES AGAIN.

There is no fruit that lends itself Ia 50
many interesting and easily made desserts
| as do peaches. And there Is no danger that
peaches Will induce hives or rheumatism
They are not supcr-acid as are straw
| berries, nor have they troublesome seeds
as have some Of the berries, nor trouble
| some pits as have cherries. They are 50
large that the task Of ptting enough for
dessert Is not great task
II peaches are good 10 look at and TO
taste perfectly ripe but not too ripe,
serve them raw. If they are a little sour,
cook them IN some way before serving
them.
When you are serving peaches whole on
the table, remember that the furiness Of
the skins Is unpleasant to some persons.
Wash them In cold water and dry them on
coarse towel or else rub them with a towel
wet in cold water. This process removes
most Of the fur.
When YOU are serving cut-up peaches,
slice them Just before they are needed If
you must slice them ahead of time, sprinkle
them slightly with sugar. The sugar forms
a syrup with the peach Juice and helps
keep the fruit from turning black. If
anyone dlslikes the fruit sweetened a
whole peach or two can be provided for
him
Raw peaches served with cooked syrup
are good. Boil equal parts Of sugar and
water for five or six minutes, and pour
this syrup, hot, over the fruit Peaches
without much flavor can be treated in this
way, and few drops Of lemon juice can
be added to the hot syrup.
PEACH WHIP
The following peach whip is delicious
Cut ripe Juicy peaches in cubes, and cover
them with sugar Stand them on the ice

THE ADVENTURES OF MR.. AND
MRS. REDDY FOX.

Part l.
Mrs. Reddy Fox dropped the big iron
spoon she was using right on her toe
when her husband Reddy Fox, came in
with a rush and banged the door behind
him.
Whatever is the matter?" inquired his
wife, as size rubbed her hurqtoe. IL do
not see anything chasing YOU
Reddy Fox bolted the door and fastened
the windows and shutters before he re-
piled and then, sitting down in his big
chair by the kitchen stove, he told Mrs.
Fox how he had fooled the dogs that
were chasing him.
1T was risky trick played on them"
he said, but here | am safe and sound,
| and | left those dogs in the icy water
feeling very unhappy, ! am sure"
20, do tell me all about it, begged
Mrs. Fox, who loved an adventure as well
| as her husband.
Reddy peeked out of the window first
| and when he was sure he was quite safe
| from the dogs he sat down and began:
II was taking a run along through the
woods, never giving n thought to the
| farm over the hill. where all those nice
| turkeys live, for was on my way to call
| on Mr. Coon to ask him about another
| farm where he calls.
well. as | was saying, | was running
along when all at once | heard a terrible
| noise like someone running and when |
turned around what did | see but the
whole pack of dogs that live at the farm
over the hill
ut is bad enough to be chased when
YOU have been doing wrong, but when
you are not guilty it is much worse.
"Of course, | ran out of the woods and
n. Il J.. a IA
me they came, making a most unfriendly
noise, 10 say the leads.
Under the rail fence | crawled, though
| had half a mind to jump on top of it and
stand there and laugh, for | knew very
well with all their jumping and barking
they could not catch mo =
why didn't you?' asked Mrs. Reddy.
Il Just love to tease those fellows
II was not sure that they were alone
and afterward | found ] was right, for
when got a chance stopped and looked
back and there over the fence came
several men on horseback.
Il knew where there was q sudden
drop in the field and made straight for
it, and there was where ] gair~d on them
leapcd but those silly dogs did not know
about it, and down they went, tumbling
over each other as they fell
When they we've on their feet again
! had reached shc big pond beyond the
field and almost laughed out loud when
saw that the pond was covered with thin
ice for then | knew | could have some
fun
Il ran along the edge until | was sure
the dogs were close and would follow
me, and when they were ON the ice |
made for the middle Of the pond and
bounded over to the opposite bank
But though the ice was strong enough
10 hold me it would not hold pack Of
fussy dogs. So when they reached the
middle Of the pond whore it was nice and
deep, "crackle-crackle' went the ice and
down into the cold water went all the
dogs, and all the men on horseback who
had just then come along seemed to be
very cross at the poor dogs
