'INSIDE" INFORMATION

Season veal outlets or chops with
little lemon juice and Worcester
shire sauce as well as salt and pep
per, before cooking them.
Save your baking powder tins to
put leftover cooked cereals in. When
these are sliced and friends to a deli
cate brown they are good to serve
with meat in place of other starchy
foods. Or serve the friend cereals
with sirup, honey, or preserves, as a
lunch dish.
Apple betty and other fruit "bet-
tvs" are generally popular with the
family and easy to prepare. Mix
bread crumbs with enough melted
butter to moisten, and place them in
alternate layers with fruit, spice, and
sugar in your baking dish. Serve
hot or cold, with or without cream
or hard sauce or custard.
The best butter can be made from
clean, sweet cream. The better the
quality of cream delivered, therefore,
the better price the creamery will
be able to pay the producer. Be sure
the cream that you produce is first
grade.
High-producing dairy COWS not
only excel low producers in produc-
tion of milk and butterfat, but they
show more economy in utilizing feed.
Records of more than 100000 dairy
COWS, compiled by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, showed that the
cost of feed for COWS producing 5000
pounds of milk a year per COW was
only about 40 per cent more than
for cows producing 4,5O0 pounds.
The one difficult phase of dahlia
culture is successful storage of the
dormant roots. AS soon as the tops
are killed, lift the plants and cut
the tops off 8 to IL inches above the
crown. Let the tubers dry in the
air for a few hours and store them
in FROST free cellar that is not too
dry. If the cellar is too warm or too
dry, as is apt to be the case, store
the roots in barrels filled with dry
sand or sawdust. Great care should
be used not to injure the roots in
digging as decay that starts in
wound will soon spread to healthy
roots.
If you find small, blackish, white
winged ants flying in large numbers
in your house in fall or spring, do
not sweep them up and forget about
them, advises the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. They may be termites
or so-called white ants" and per-
haps are destroying the woodwork
of your home. Leaflet Bill, recently
issued by the department, tells how
to recognize these pests, how to build
a house so as to keep them out, and
how to get them out and keep them
out if they are already in. This leaf

A Delicate Subject

I have a little mustache
Which grows upon my lip;
It's most a millimeter
From the roots out to the tip.
1t soon will be a year old
1t has not grown so much
But it has a velvet feeling
The girls all love to touch.
To Barbarosa it would seem
A very poor example,
But of the mustaches today,
1t is goodly sample.
For all the boys nowadays wear
Is a little growth of fuzz

HUSBAND HELD
FOR DEATH Of
GIRL PREACHER
Body of Young Evangelist
Is Found in Park; Scout
Suicide.

BIZ United Press
PHILADELPHIA, July 81. -
George c. Jester, %, was arrested
today and charged with suspicion of
murder in connection with the death
OF his wife, Gwendolyn, 10, girl
evangelist, whose body was found
with a. bullet wound through her
temple in Paramount park here
Tuesday night.
Mrs. Jester was a friend of IN
dine Utley, well known as the child
evangelist"
Police at first believed Mrs. Jes-
ter's death was suicide. Beside her
body was found lying a .32-caliber
pistol from which the fatal bullet
had been fired.
In her hand was clasped a pho
tograph of her husband.
Further evidence, tending to point
to suicide, was the finding of note
addressed to her husband and
pinned to his pillow in their home.
This note read:
Dear George-Forgive me if you
can. I realize our lives will never be
happy together, and your happiness
means more to me than life. hope
you will find happiness and content
ment after I am gone. Always re-
member that I have never stopped
loving you and it is for you I am
doing this.
TRY to let grandma see that it is
for the best, as I am tired Of being
sick and suffering all the time. Tell
her what the doctor said. Kiss the
Riddles, Eleanor, Naoli and Frank,
all goodby. Also mother and dad.
Your loving wife, Peggy.
"P. S.-Look for my body in tho
woods where we were on Fourth Of
July. Lovingly, Peggy"
Suspicion was directed against
Jester when friends of the couple
called the attention of police to the
similarity between the handwriting
on the penciled note and specimens
of TESTERS writing found in his
home. A handwriting expert will
be asked to make a comparison, po-
lice said,
Jester denied having anything to
do with his Wife's death, and re-
manned calm during questioning by
officers and at the magistrate S
hearing when he was arraigned.

to Victor.

In these warm, sultry mid-sum-

dominant part in a girls outdoor
regalia. The vast sweep Of beaches
and the swimming pools reveal
multitudinous female forms in
tight fitting bathing suits, most Of
which get actually wet. for the
wearers are swimmers.
II is when these girls are in their
bathing suits that one can see that
the athletically inclined, robust,
vital type Of girl is in the majority
And when she stands next to her
extremely slim, bOyish sister that
the allure, charm and attractiveness
Of the two can be contrasted.
The athletically inclined girl is
girlish in every way and her Sexless
sister is not at all eye-filing. Say
what you may about the board-like
type of girl who seemed to be a
fad. but died out rapidly, the girl
Of proper proportions is the ultimate
winner in all contests, not only the
occasional beauty campaign she
may enter
Only on rare occasions does the

rather victorious. But even so, it is
a victory that is as fleeting as a
