cate that the young lady's con-
dition is most critical.
The accused man made his
escape, while his father, mother
and two others of the family
were arrested. They were given
a preliminary hearing yesterday
before Justice of the Peace R.
M. Ward, and released, having
had nothing whatever to do with
the crime.
This is one of the most das-
tardly crimes of recent years in
this county, committed, to make
the thing even worse, over cur
dog, which was not even killed
by the car. It is earnestly hoped
that Triplett may soon be ap-
pretended and given justice in
full measure.

OLD POTATOES IN NEW DISHES
The fall season to the housewife is a
time when she is seeking new ways to pre-
pare the old ~Stand-byS. With little thought
and trouble the same vegetables may be
served over and over again in new cOmbin-
atoms. The potato being one kind which
is cooked in the same way meal after meal.
Potato cookery is simple, yet it requires
a little thought in order to cook plain
boiled potatoes which are really appetizing.
Only use rapidly boiling water when
cooking potatoes and avoid letting them
stand in cold water for any length Of time,
since it draws out much Of the food value.
Cook quickly in a small amount of water,
then drain we'll, since remaining in water
after cooking results in dark, watery pO-
tatoes. In this condition, they are GER
tainly not attractive to look at, and far
I from being appetizing. They must be dry,
mealy and flaky.
When baking potatoes, select those of
uniform size, and with smooth surface. If
a crisp skin is desired, as is often the case,
rub it with a little Uasalted fat and bake in
a hot oven 40 to 60 minutes, according to
the size. If it is impossible to serve them
Immediately, pierce the skin to allow the
steam to escape, otherwise they will be
sOggy.
