GLAD TO BE CITIZEN
Learns After 21 Years He Is Not CitiZen-Travcls 5000 Miles to Be NaturaIizcd

Omaha, Jan. 5.-Max Schroth, of Manila, r. l., travelled 5000 miles to the United States in order to com- plete his American citizenship after he had labored for 21 years under the delusion that he was a citizen of the United States
 Bern in Germany, Schroth came to this country, and in 1892 enlisted in the United States army at Norfolk, Neb., serving in the Cuban campaign in the Spanish American war and later in the Philippine insurrection. He had his first papers and thought that his citizenship could not be ques- toned, only to learn that he would have to leave the Philippines, where he was employed in the government transportation service, and return to America to obtain his final papers.
 Schroth set out nearly year ago, leaving a native wife and six chill dren in Manila, and came to Nebraska where he took up residence in Omaha while his naturalization case was pending in district court When his final papers were handed to him Schroth said:
 T feel like getting down on my knees and thanking God that I am now a bona fide American citizen"

BELIEVE PARENTS
 DECAPITATED BODY
Winona Police Think Superstition to Prevent Other Deaths is Re-
 sDOnsiblc for Act.

Winona, Minn., Jan. 6.-Opening oi two graves in a cemetery here today has been decided upon by Winona po- lice in an investigation of report that the body of Miss Frances Bloch. buried five years ago, had been eX- humed and decapitated in super stitious belief that such action would end series of deaths in the family.
 This decision was reached by po- lice and cemetery officials following a statement by the sexton of the cemo- tery that two graves, one of them Miss Bloch's, had been tempered with during the past ten days
 A superstition, said to be common in sections of Europe and which po- lice say is reported to be associated with the present incident, is that in families where death claims several the spirit of the first to die is respon- sjbe for the death of the others. By cutting off the head of this body and placing it in another part of the cas- ket, the superstition runs, the evil powers of the body are ended.
 Since the death of Miss Bloch five of her brothers have died, the fifth last Saturday.
 Parents of the dead girl deny any knowledge of molestation of her grave.

THE RACE.

When Johnnie Green turned Twin kleheels and the old horse Ebenezer into the pasture, the first thing they did was to drop down on the grass and enjoy a good roll.
 There was vast difference in their actions. TWinklehcels vas as spry as a squirrel. He rolled from one side to the other and back again, jumped up and shook himself like dog Spot, almost before Ebenea-. had picked out a nice, smooth place to roll on.
 Ebenezer bent his legs beneath him in a gingerly fashion, and sank with something like sigh upon the green, grassy carpet. It was only with a great effort that he managed at last to roll all the way over; and then he couldn't roll back again. Clumsily he flung his fore feet in front of him. self, and by a mighty heave pulled himself off the ground.
 "Sow, isn't he % 'Twinkleheels re- marked to Muley Cow, who was chewing her cud and looking on.
 He doesn't get up the right way said the Muley Cow. When rising from the ground, one should stand on his hind feet first"
 T don't agree with you" TwinklN heels told her. "llbenezer uses the

right method. But he's terribly poky about it. You can almost hear his joints creak.'
 The Muley Cow was somewhat of fcnded.

 TwinkleheeIs moved away. He felt the least bit uncomfortable.

 "Oh, he's not bad sort" Ebenezer replied ''IIe has good many things to learn. Perhaps he'll be wiser by night. I shouldn't worry about him, if I were you

SHE IS "FULL OF PEP"
 THEY SAY

Why is girl popular? Look around and see what a good time the good looking ones have all the time. Men seek them out and ask them to par ties, dances and entertainments. And notice that it is not the doll-face type real men like most, but the red blooded girl with pep" and happy good nature. Any girl who is tired and languid and has a poor complex ion and dull eyes can improve her condition and be far happier if she will simply take Guides Pepto- Man gan until she has put her blood into good condition. Red blood means full of life" and full of life usually means happiness.
 Try Gude's Pepto- -Mangan and see how much better you feel. Doctors have used it nearly thirty years for weak, run down people. It helps them get well. Sold in both liquid and tablet form. Advertisement.

The picture feature Is "The Ten- Dollar Raise" and this screen version of Peter B. Kyncs wonderfully plens- ing Saturday Evening Post story is a hummer for action, adventure, hu- man interest, humor and satire. It puts right on the screen a page from business life in n city. II Is the story of the trials and tribulations of the great middle class, and the cast in- cudes such well known performers as William V. Mong, Marguerite De La Mote. Pat O'Mallcy and Helen Jer- ome Eddy.
 "The Mansfield of the Screen" Montague Love is most aptly called and in his present act he gives some of those character impersonations for which he has achieved his enviable reputation as a star. In addition, he gives a brief intimate talk on studio life.

The old-fashioned buckwheat cake made with yeast is not difficult to di- gest or prepare. The modern house. wife seems to regard yeast as a great mystery, but in fact it's one of the simplest of ingredients and insures success.
 Buciiwheat Cakes
 One cake yeast l-4 cup warm water, l quart water, bucl1wheat flour, i scant teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon soda.
 Soften yeast cake in luke-warm water. Add to quart of water also luke-warm. Stir till dissolved and add salt and enough buckwheat flour to make stiff batter
 Cover and put in a warm place over night. The crock in which this sponge is "set" must be of good size for the sponge rises during the night.
 When about ready to bake the cakes dissolve the soda in hot water and beat into the sponge, Let stand 15 minutes and bake on hot we'll greased griddlo
 The soda swectens the cakes and makes them very light. As buck wheat flour differs in it's purity it is
  necessary for the sponge. This bat ter may be kept from day to day and really improves with age.
 The second night do not add yeast Add two or three cups of water. salt and buckwheat and put in warm place to rise. In the morning add the soda, just as the first morning. Keep the leftover batter in q cool place during the day.
 Pork Sausage.
 Put the sausage in the frying pan and add enough hot water to half cover. Cover closely and cook until the water is all cooked away.
 When the sausage begins to sizzle prick the skin with q fork. Turn and prick the other side. Cook brown on both sides.
 Sausage must be well cooked and
New Britain herald., 1922-01-06

if cooked entirely by frying is apt to be hard and dry. The small amount of water cooks the meat through and keeps it moist.
 Cake sausage is Drowned first on both sides, a little water is then added and the sausage cooked slowly, tightly covered until water is cooked away
 Buckwheat cakes may be made without yeast, but they are not as good.
 Buckwheat Gridd!c Cakes.
 Two cups buttermik, about h cups bucllwheat flour, l teaspoon soda, 1a teaspoon salt.
 Mix flour and salt. Dissolve soda in buttermilk and add to flour. Beat well. The secret of the success of these cakes is in the beating. Bake on a hot, well greased griddlc.
 Baking Powder Buchwheat Cakes
 One cup buckwheat fiour 1 table spoon sugar, F teaspoon salt, ? tea spoons baking powder, IA cup milk, 1 IA cups cold water.
 Mix and sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add milk and water and stir well. Bake at once.

AT PALACE THEATER.

The Keith vaudeville bill at the Palace for the balance of the week in conjunction with the Dempsey fight pictures is one of the best bills ever seen at this popular theater. All the way through from start to finish the vaudeville acts are heartily applauded. Manlfin, the peer of contortionists, and certainly the most wonderful act that has ever been offered here, startled the big audiences yesterday with his remarkable nimbeness. Dressed as a frog and with be1utt- full setting he offers a remarkable act. Jim and Lee Francis are clever couple of boys in blackface who offer comedy and songs. Ted and Frankie Burns were well received with their comedy singing and talking offering that gives real good entertainment; and the big hit of the bill is McDevitt,

Can't Be Cured form the Outside
 External treatments seldom cure Piles.
 Nor do surgical operations.
 The cause is insidc--bad circulation.
 The blood Is stagnant, the veins nab- by.
 The bowel walls are weak. the parts almost dead.
 To quickly and safely rid yourself of piles you must free the circulation send a fresh current through the stagnant pools. Internal treatment is the one safe method.
 J. S. Leonhardt, M. D., set at work some years ago to find a real internal Pile remedy. He succeeded. He named his prescription HEM ROID, and tried it in 1000 cases before he was satis- fled. Now HEM -ROID is sold by drug gists everywhere under guarantee. It's easy to take, and can always be found at the Clark and Brainerd O., who will gladly refund the purchase price to any dissatisfied customer.

 Well, late in the afternoon, John nie Green came slowly up the lane, and stood by the pasture bars and whistled. Twinklehecla and Ebene2or happened to be together when they heard that cheerful ehirp,
 "I'll race you to the bars!" Twinkle heels exclaimed. Agreed" cried Ebcnczer, The word was no sooner out Of his mouth than he started with a rush, He was three jumps ahead of TWinkleheelS before that surprised pony began to run

 Before Twinkleheels came to the brook Ebene2cr had crossed 1t in one mighty leap. He was pounding along with a powerful stride over the firm turf of the pasture. And behind him Twnkleheels' pattering feet struggled 10 shorten the distance between them.
 TO Twinklehcels' dismay, he saw that F.benezer was steadily drawing away from him. Although Twinkle heels ran his fastest, Ehenezer reached the bars six good lengths ahead of him.
