Doesn't the very name make your mouth water? This delicious dish, prepared from left-over potatoes, is a favorite with Mrs. Belle De Graf, San Francisco home economics counsellor and writer. Chop fine 3 eupS cold boiled potatoes. Add 3-4 cup of cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Pack very solidly in buttered custard cups, or muffin pans.' Set in a pan in a very hot oven. Bake 30 minutes, or until golden brown crust has formed which will hold the potatoes together. Turn out in individual molds. * Baker Potato "Tips" Mrs. Sarah T. Rorer, Philadelphia cooking expert, adds two or three artful touches to baked potatoes which make them taste unusually good. "After scrubbing large, perfect potatoes, I soak them an hour in cold water," she says.?'. .. ; "I bake them on the upper grate of a medium oven, and turn them after 20 ipinutes. I let them bake another half hour, or until . they feel soft when pressed in a napkin. "Never try them with a foidc, for this allows the steam to escape and makes them heavy. Serve in a napkin at once. "The secret of good baked potatoes is a slow oven; for a hot oven hardens the skin at once and makes the potatoes soggy." * * Stuffed and Browned Miss Margaret Allen I^all, nutrition expert atthe Battle >Oreek College of Home Economics, has a decided preference for stuffed potatoes She fixes them like this: (5 medium-sized potatoes 1-2 cup milk or cream 3 tablespoonfuls butter 1 teaspoon salt Select well-shaped potatoes about equal size. Bake until soft, then cut or break each potato at about the middle. Remove the contents, mash, add salt, butter, and sufficient cream or milk to cause the potato to beatup light. When- very light, fill skins with the seasoned potato, piling it up in irregular shapes. Set .'the stuffed potatoes in oven a few minutes to brown. . * * ala Pittsburgh Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn, home economics director, of Los Angeles, teaches cooking tb 100,000 women every year.

Thaddous Villeponteaux und James Anderson. .Jeremiah Wright was de livcrtd to the sheriff of Charleston county Saturday night and the other foui were delivered this morning j about 11:30 o'clock by Sheriff Ballentine ol Berkeley. It is reported that the Berkeley sheriff is looking for Glennie Johnson. Ben Villeponteaux was in the Riverside infirmary here and tonight died. It was reported that he underwent an operation early this afternoon but the hospital authorities appeared reluctant to discuss it. Edward J. Dennis, former state senator from Berkeley county, was in I town today and conferred with some! of .the prisoners at the county jail. No statement has come from any of the prisoners, all of whom seem to be easy in their minds, not bothering about the outcome of the charges against them. They have been com- J mitted on warrants of Magistrate Harvey of Berkeley county and were brought into this county for safe- J keeping. It is declared that feeling in J Berkeley county is tense. - While it is generally reported that the homicides grew out of a raid Friday by prohibition enforcement officers, no statements have been avail-1 able. Friday five state agents and a federal agent destroyed ten stills, 10,000 gallons of beer and 1,800 gallons of cpm' whiskey in the Hell Hole swamp region. They also seized two motor vehicles, a coupe and a truck, It is not established which group, if either, was offended because of the seizures. The homicide occurred at the rail-1 read station at Monck's Corner, county seat of Berkeley county. McKnight, Mitchum and Johnson were in one car when the Villeponteaux I brothers, Anderson and Jeremiah Wright drove up in another, a sedan. The shooting is reported to have begun immediately. McKnight was shot in the back anX breast with buckshot and was in- J stantly killed. Mitchum, after being! shot in the side and back, got out of I the car and went about 300 yards before he fell, dying a few minutes j later. Johnson was unscathed. Ben Villeponteaux was wounded in the I neck and paralyzed. According to Deputy Sheriff Woodward of Berkeley county four empty cartridges were taken from Mc- j Knight's pistol and two from Mitch.um's. Ben Villeponteaux and Jere- j miah Wright had shotguns. Except for cuts from glass Jeremiah Wright Thaddeus Villeponteaux and Anderson were unijured. Solicitor James Allan went to Monck's corner late Saturday afternoon when reports of the homicides reached him. It was also reported | that one or more of the city police J detectives also went to Monck's Cor-1 ner. An inquest will be held but the date has not. been announced. All the men involved in the affair are well known in Berkeley county j and it is said that all of them live in the Cordesville and Huger neighbor- I hood*. j Death of Miss Nellie Corbett Miss Nellie Corbett, the _ only daughter of Mr. and Mrs, J.

Moultrie Guerry. * Miss Corbett is survived by her parents, one brother, Virgil P. Corbettj of Madison, Ga., and three adopted brothers, Fred, Dewitt and Clyde Clark.?Sumter Herald. The Psycholologicl Moment. Mr. Jones was no Napoleon, but his tactics when a drink was in sight were invariably sound. On'one occasion as he was rushing from his home, his wife asked:? "Where are you going in such a I hurry?" "Over to Robinson's house," was the reply. "He just telephoned to ask if I could lend him a corkscrew, anil | I'm taking it myself." "Couldn't you send it?" "My dear wife," said Mr. Jones in incisive tones, "the question you ask shows why most women are unfit to lead armies or make decisions involving millions in business deals. When the psychological moment arrives they don't know what to do with..it." ?Argonaut. , jj ***: ''faaiiii ALL OFFICERS RE ELECTED Greenville Reunion Closed With Grand Ball at Textile Hall Greenville, May 6.?Unanimous reelection of officers of the South Carolina United Confederate Veterans' division and the sinking of "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder" closed the reunion of the organization here this afternoon. Many veterans remained in the city for the grand ball, which was given .in their honor at headquarters, the Textile hall, tonight, however. Officers renamed for this year include Gen. 1). W. McLaurin, hf Co* lumbia, commander; <ie?. N. (?. Osteon of Sumter, commander of the First brigade; Gen. W. II. Cely of Greenville, commander of the Second brigade; Gen. W. A. Clarke of Columbia, chairman of the state Confederate historical commission, and General McLaurin, trustee of the Southwide Memorial association. General McLaurin immediately reappointed his staff, which includes, in part Col. J. B. Lewis of Anderson, adjutant general; Alex McBee, Greenville, major; J. D. Hardin, of Darlington, lieutenant colonel; Gen. C. Irvine Walker, of Charleston, honorary commander of the U. C. V. of the South; Capt. George W. Sirrine, member of staff through virtue of his be'ing commander of Camp Pulliam. Because no invitations for next year's convention has been placed in the hands of the commander, the matter of selecting another place of meeting was deferred artd placed in the hands of General McLaurin. He will be open to invitations and announce his decision at a later date. , A resolution asking that the general assembly at its next session authorise the treasurer of the state to deduct headquarters dues of fifty cents from each pension check before mailing them to veterans was approved after some discussion. Objection was removed when it was explained that such procedure would ?ot interfere with camp activities and would not include widows. And Belled Garters "Have you heard the latest?" asked one yesterday. "They tell me that Southern girls are starting new styles, one being of a tinkling nature. Newspapers are telling that Southern girls are wearing belled bloomers ?that is that they are sewing little tinkling bells in their bloomers. So far they say Broadway has not heard the belled lingerie but is expecting to every minute. There were belled garters last winter, but they soon rang out. There was too much traffic for the bells to be effective. In some instances they say that not only garters are belled, but bloomers and petticoats. "This is a ranging age. No doubt about it."-?Newlberry fierald.

I speak from the fullness of 30 years' experience with them. Oil is clean, economical, and dependable. It saves a world of work. No coal or wood to carry in, no ashes to carry out. And no dust. "I have just completed a special experiment on the 1926 model Perfection Oil Stove, testing it under all possible cooking conditieh9. I cooked many meals in my own kitchen. Every dish was deliciously cooked. . j * Immediate Cooking "Steak began to broil and my molasses cake began to rise almost a9 soon as I lighted the burners. There was no waiting for the heat to 'come up.' "The bottom of every utensil used in the experiment was as clean as a china dish. No scouring was. necessary. Those long Perfection chimneys certainly are insurance against sooty kettles. All at the Same Time "I cooked many things at once. For boiling beef I used a very low flame. I French-fried potatoes over a hot flame with yellow tips about 1% inches high above the blue area. I cooked white sauce over a medium flame. "I used all grades of heat at the same tinie satisfactorily. . , - ' II All flames remained steady and even. They did not creep or'crpwl.'This is a real blessing to the cook.
