SPEAKS TOO FAST

PARIS. Aug. BOA Paris sur geon is telling a good story against himself He was called in to operate on an American wo- man for appendicitis, and when the cure was complete the pa tient, seeking to show her grati- tude in some way that was not
 too commonplace, embroidered a cigar case and took it to the sur geon.
 Unfortunately the surgeon had just had a run of patients who had paid for his services by presents of little intrinsic value, so he could not help saying, No, really, Madame, take away such rubbish; a 1.000-franc note would be much more acceptable.
 "All right" said the American woman, and opening the cigar case she drew out a 1,000-franc bill from it. laid it on the table, and said coolly, "There were five others like it in the case

IRISH FREE STATE MAY HOLD
 ", ~ CAPTIvES SIX MONTHS LONGER
fContinueo Irc1n rase one.)

CTS are waging a deliberate campaign of disorderliness in jail in order to make political capital of their re. sulting discomforts. Such was the procedure of the ministers themselves against the British in the old days, the Free State officers say, and they charge that the rebels are initiating the tactics which they employed.
 At a recent session, government officials read letters from prisoners to. their wives saying they were well fed and cared for. Critics of the prisons discounted the letters. con. tending that the captives made light of their sufferings to reassure rela. tives.
 Little has developed to substantiate the charges that the prisoners are cruelty treated Evidence was pro duced at one investigation confirming the allegations of beating captiyss but these appeared to be isolated cases. Numerous prisoners. on being freed, have told newspaper correspondents that they found the jails irksome but were not inhumanly treated.
 Congestion in the prisons is trace able to the lack of space and the fact that the total of prisoners is far in excess of Ireland's jail accommoda- tions.
 The government, say it's representa- tives. is making every reasonable effort toward humane treatment of those in detention. To criticism of the Imprisonment itself, however they answer that the 12.000 captives "have taken part in reasonable revolt, have shot down soldiers and carried on a campaign of terrorism which throws the Black and Tan regime into the shade"

SLIME USED TO
 STOP OLD FIRE

HELENA, Mont, Aug 30.-Re- ports to the State Industrial Acci- dent Commission indicate. Chairman Jerome Locke says, that the fire which has been burning in one of the mines at Butte for thirty-three years has been brought under con- trol and will, it is believed, be ex tingdisaed before the end of the year. Victory over this fire. one of the most stubborn known to the mining industry. was made possible through the use of tailings which were pumped into the fire area prin- cipally through the Leonard mine of the Anaconda company.
 The slime was pumped through small drill holes from adjacent underground workings. Use of water which was employed for years was found to be ineffective and bulk headnig, which served to restrict the fire, also failed to choke out the blaze, which started with an acci- dent costing the lives of two men. The accident happened so long ago, HON ~ VT, tiidl ClilS q ltNs Ol lLtut tol- dents of the mining camp remember anything about it.
 Within a few months it will be possible to resume mining in the area which for a generation fire has controlled, Chairman Locke states. The fire has cost more than $1,- 900, 1000 in material, loss of revenue, labor, etc, it is stated.

Those Sour Pickles.

Picking time will soon be here SO
we are giving few general rules to
be followed, which will help assure
success with your product. Always
use a good grade of vinegar. Use a
porcelain or agate-lined kettle because
of the action of the acid. Do not boil
vinegar over IL minutes as it loses
its strength.
Keep the pickles covered with vine
gar in good clean glass or stone jars.
A few pieces of horseradish added
prevents scum from forming on the
surface Of the vinegar. If cucumbers
are soaked in brine over night
they will be firmer, milder favored,
have more of the salt taste and
will add to the keeping qualities.
A brine made Of about " cup Of
salt to a quart of water is the propor-
ton most commonly used. Let brine
come to the boiling point, but do not
boil. Cool before using. If too strong,
a brine is used for vegetables they will
soften and spoil Wash the cucumbers
in clean cold water. Do not use a
vegetable brush as this rubs off the
little points that make the cucumbers
shrivel when soaked

that is, 100000 marks. Therefore, you

Pulling huge wad of paper money
