CONVICTS FIND
7 SKELETONS

sTRAsBURG. Va, oct. II.
Two human skeletons were ex-
cavated from shallow. graves be
side the Valley Pike. shout i5O
yards south of the old Artz Mil,
near here, by convicts working on
the road.
The condition Of the skeletons
led to the belief that they had
been buried there many years.
The bones were ordered re-
moved to the State convict camp,
. half mile south Of the spit. DR..
q. q. Crawford. who examined
them, reported that they were
the remains Of q man and q
woman. A plain gold ring was
discovered on. one Of the finger
bones.
SO far the discovery has proven
a mystery even to the oldest In
habitants Of this section. Some
advance the theory that they may
have been the bodies Of Indian
victims; others think they are
the remains Of Civil War soldiers.

rubbing elbows. It Is seldom that 4 state body meets
here with such interest manifested In clinical features,
whatever tine activity represented, Is this organisation Is
showing on the present occasion. It Is drawing on its
own best representatives and on expert and specialist
authority for increasing its knowledge and technical skill
in the practice Of the profession, and there is q remark
able display Of fixtures that 60 with modern dentistry.
The participants much surely return home with fresh
ened enthusiasm for their vocation.
May they also take with them q heightened opinion Of
Bismarck. The local dentists who are back Of the con-
vention as hosts are an up-to-date body Of practitioners
and good and sociable citizens. They should see to It
that the visitors get a favorable reaction from their COM
ing. Anyhow, Bismarck is glad to have the association
meet here and hopes that it will come again at some
future time. The flowers in May arc not a whit more
welcome.

II the various straw votes can be taken as q safe guide
the American people have gone on record very definitely
for some change in the present liquor laws. The pro-
blem that confronts congress, however. is not easy OF
solution. More than three million voters have been polled
by the Literary Digest in what seems to be a very i'm
partial survey OF the issue. That linked together with
the other polls made In the colleges and universities give
food for thought.
The New York Times in discussing the significance Of
the student polls says:
THESE statistics cannot be dismissed as the callow
reactions of young people, or the view of spoiled sons
Of rich VETS. In nearly every institution listed above,
the student body is drawn from all classes through
out the nation. It was further developed In the polls
that the following student percentages drink: Har-
ward, 6s.5; Yale, 20; Princeton. IS: Amherst, 65;
Pennsylvania. 80: Pittsburgh, 60. and Cornell, 66.
Laws which produce such dismal violation by the
~country's future leaders are laws which congress must
consider as at the bar Of public opinion under serious
indictment"
GandAi probably has in mind what the American col
onists accomplished with tea when he took up the sal
revolt.

ASPARAGUS AND AsrARAorN

Asparagus Is one Of the few peren-
NAL non-starchy vegetables which
bear year after year. Although the
plants are started from seed. they are
generally planted into permanent
beds which will continue to produce
for as long as one hundred years. IL
though the best crops occur between
the third and sixth years, and the
beds are usually replanted after about
ten years, as the stalks become small
er in size after this time.
The young and tender shoots are
familiar to everyone. The vegetable
can be obtained fresh most Of the
year, although at certain times It Is
very expensive. The canned product
may, however, be used during the
months when you cannot obtain the
fresh in your market. Although
asparagus does not contain much
rutritional value, It Is valuable In the
diet because 1t serves rs IN appetizer
and because 1t Is rich in mineral ele-
ments, especially sodium. calcium,
potassium and sulphur. Asparagus
also contains an odorous substance
called asparagin which stimulates the
kidneys and usually passes out Of the
system quickly. It forms a fairly
good test for kidney elimination, as
the odor Is readily discernible within
a few hours after you have eaten q
meal Of asparagus.
In preparing this vegetable, 1t
should be washed carefully to remove
the grit. Sometimes q small amount
Of dirt sticks under the larger scales,
and they should be removed, as well
as the toughest part Of the fibrous
end. When serving asparagus whole,
1t is q good plan to tie the stalks in a
bundle with all the tips even and cut
off the root ends 80 that the bunch
will stained on its base in the pan.
Leave about two inches Of water, and
cover the vessel. The tips will then
be steamed and unbroken. The Juice
may be used for soups and should not
be thrown away.
Asparagus may be served either hot
or cold, and II you wish q change try
choping up the raw tips and adding
them to salads. Here are q few reel
pes which I know you will enjoy
Asparagus and MIX
Wash the asparagus carefully and
cut into half inch lengths, all except
the part which is too difficult to cut
readily. Place in q pot and cover
with hot milk add q pinch Of baking
soda. and cook over q slow fire for
ebout Is minutes. Season with q lit
tie salt and butter Just before serving.
