NEW ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
CAUSES CHANGE.

Due to the fact that the uniform
system of accounting now being in
stalled in the county Offices under the
new state law, which entails a great
deal more work, County Clerk Bur-
nett and County Treasurer Dean will
insist that the state law, regarding
the making out of orders for the pay
ment of bounties on noxious birds
and animals be followed. The law
says that no order for bounties for
less than five rats or ten sparrows be
made out.
The township clerks, under the law,
make out the orders on the county
clerk, who in turn makes out an or
der on the county treasurer. The
bounty on one rat is ten cents and if
an order on the county was made out
for each separately, the paper used
in making out the orders and vouch-
ers would be worth more than the
face of the order.
Township clerks have all been ask
ed by the county clerk to instruct
those to whom they issue bounty or
ders to have them cashed at the banks
instead of sending them to him. When
the banks get number of them they
send them in and an order for the
entire amount can be made out, saw
ing work and paper.

DEATH OF MRS. SETH BEERS.

Many friends in all parts of this
county were deeply grieved by the
death at Memorial hospital in this
city Saturday of Mrs. Seth Beers of
Durand. Mrs. Beers underwent san
operation for appendicitis short
time ago, and the many complications
discovered made the operation
most serious one. Although the pa
tient exhibited remarkable will power
in an attempt to offer resistance, little
hope was entertained for her recov-
cry.
Edith Walters was born thirty-nine
years ago in this county and shortly
afterwards came to Owosso with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Walters.
She was married in 1900 to Seth
Beers, at that time county clerk and
Mr.. and Mrs. Beers made their home
in Durand.
During her entire life, Mrs. Beers
has been known as one of the most
public-spirited women in the county.
Her philanthropic work has made her
we'll known among a large circle of
friends who revered her as a woman
of unusual executive ability and
strong, winning personality. For the
past three years she was county presi-
dent of the Kings Daughters and
through the channels of this organi-
zation was able to accomplish Won
derful results in altruistic work. She
was a member of the First M. E..
church of Durand and her many ac-
tivities there will be sadly missed.
She was also a member Of the East
ern Star lodge.
The funeral was held Tuesday
afternoon from the home in Durand,
Rev. Haller officiating. Surviving are
her husband and her mother.

Although corn meal is now used
chiefly as a breakfast cereal or In the
torm of bread, yet there are many
other ways OF using it to advantage.
Tho particles of corn meal when mix
"A with water do not tend to stick to-
sather and form an elastic dough as
wheat -four does. This is because the
nrotein of corn is lacking in tenacity
allowing the somewhat granular par
ticles of meal to separate. While this

bread making, it is an advantage In
making waffles or griddle cakes, as it
lenders them very tender. Some re-
Sdpes for the use of corn meal rec
mmended by the economics

PROFICIENCY IN KITCHEN

Arrange your kitchen equip
ment so that 1t will give you
the most help and take the least
work.
Choose things easy to clean
and care for.
Try to locate the stove, sink,
work table, and storage places
so there will be no unneces-
sary steps in moving from one
to the other.
Have good light where you
work the most.
Adjust sink and work table
to the height most comfortable
for the person who uses them.
Group your utensils so that
you can reach them easily. Put
those most frequently used In
the most convenient places.
Small ones may be hung on lit
tie hooks fastened to the wall
or the edge of shelf.
Group them near the places in
which they are most used and
put those used together near
each other.
Get rid of useless things.

USE OF SUMMER VEGETABLES
They Should Be Cooked as Soon
After Being Gathered as Possible
to Hold the Flavor.

Cook summer vegetables as soon
after they are gathered as possible, in
order to preserve the flavor. If they
must be kept over, keep in the ice
box or some other cool place.
Let wilted vegetables soak in cold
water to freshen them. If vegetables
must stand after pairing, cover with
cold water to prevent whiting and dis
coloration.
