and Mrs. Booth, whose husbands are
connected with relief work in Armenia.
They were fleeing before the bolsheviki
advance and were forced to give up
their money and iewelry at the point
of a revolver.
The pirates boarded the steamer at
Batum, either as passengers or members
OF the crew. At o o'clock on the night
of May o, 10 men sprang up from va
rious parts of the ship. covered officers
and passengers with pistols and shout

Ii you're feeling the usual spring
lasstude this year, try the vegetable
rure before YOU resort to the tonic.
There are many vegetables possessing
tonic qualities as well as high food val

plcted by the fatigue of the winter
season, with the vigor making ingredi-
rnts, says the Burlington Clipper.
There is. for instance. the old reliable
aandelion greens. Two pounds OF

touch of acid
Canned spinach can be cooked in the
same way. OF course, if you prefer to
cook dandelion greens in the old way,
that may be done; nevertheless, the
method here described will be a wei
come change.
Another vegetable which is among
the best from the tonic point of view
is the carrot. These should be scraped
and cooked Immediately in little
water, without soaking. Draining is
then unnecessary. They may be sea
sQned with salt and pepper and served
in melted butter or with a cream
sauce. If the carrots are to be creamed,
they may be cut in quarter lengths I;
when old and woody in the center, cut
off the dark outer layer. which is the
tender part, for the boiling.
Then there are parsnips, those home
ly vegetables which most of us have
hated as children, but which possess
food values particularly adapted to
spring needs. They are usually boiled
whole and relocated Gin some. form.
They may be scrubbed and cooked ten

when fried brown in butter OF oil.
They may also be mashed while hot

WILL LOUISIANA

That Is One of the Most Important
Questions Uppermost As Legis-

Baton Rouge, La, May l0.-The gem

write history. Three questions of
paramount interest will be placed be
fore IL:
First-WiIl Louisiana become the
Seth necessary state to ratify the ma

Second horse racing be con
tinued in Louisiana and if so how
Third--Will the $1,000. 900 needed by
the state treasury be secured through
severance tax on national resources
OF by direct taxation of the citizens of
the state.
The suffrage fight promises to be
keen. Both sides are well organized
and both claim victory. The governor,
John NJ Parker, is for ratification and
the following he has secured during the
last two wears Is admittedly large
But, in Louisiana, state rights are not
easily forgotten and that principle will
rally many staunch supporters.
Led by the young mems business
league of New Orleans. dozens OF or
CARNATIONS throughout the state have
adopted resolutions demanding either
that there be a state racing commits
sion, a short season and pari mutuel
betting machines or that racing be
abolished by state legislation The OBJ
iections seem to be raised principally
against operation of hand books in the
cities and the so-called Qualities at
the tracks at jefferson and the fair

The severance tax legislation is not
expected to cause much opposition. 1t
puts a two per cent tax on every in
dustry from the natural resources OF
the state, oil gas. lumber, moss, salt,
sulphur. gravel, rosin, turpentine and
few other commodities. Altogether, u
is estimated the taxes would total
close to the much needed 100000.
