BLOOD STAINS ARE
CAREFULLY EXAMINED
State Board of Health Analysing Soil
To See II Stains Are
Human Blood.

Louisville, KY, March 81. The
State Board Of Health has received a
bloOd-stained sample of earth taken
from a mine at Carbonate near Mad
isonville, and Is making an analysis
with the view of determining whether
it has anything to do with supposed
murder at Carbonate.
Residents of Carbonate, according
to word which reached here are of the
belief that one or more missing per-
sons may have been in the mine which
has not been operating in recent
weeks
DR.. Lillian South is conducting the
analysis at the Board Of Heath labor
atory. She said she was certain that
the dirt was saturated with blood, but
could not say whether it was human
or animal. The analysis, she said, will
consume at least two weeks.

"EAT ONIONS" ADVICE.

Washington, March 81. - Eat
onions" was the advice given to the
American people today by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Unless there is
increased consumption of the vege-
table, the Department said there will
be great waste of the old crop of
which there is now an estimated car
ryover of $500 cars. Failure to con-
sumo this surplus will mean also a
large surplss in the spring crop which
was reported to be from two or four
weeks earlier this year than usual.
