Beside his jocly, when it was found, was an ganpty unitoler, which bore traces of a white jsubstaiice. This leads to the belief hat Mummert drank some sort of poison before be shot himself.

10, i daughters. nation-wide Interest in the popular dish, corn beet and cabbage, and U. S. Senators, Congressmen, prize lighters, authors, artists and notables all over the land are going into more or less ecstacy over that celebrated dish, we feel it is only fitting and proper that a few of East (Berlin's prominent citizens intervened. Dr, Eugene Elgin, to whose influence we greatly owe our present loial improved road system said: "Yes, 1 am very fond of corn beef and cabbage.

When a youth in my southern home many a time on the banks ot the historic Potomac, listening to the ripple of its limpid waters, 1 have enjoyed that great dish and oh, the memory! My wife clipped from your paper of last week the recipe published and pasted it in the clock. We want to preserve it for our posterity." A. A. Gruver, the cattle dealer, who happened along just then said: "Yes Siree, I sure like to be about whei corn beef and cabbage is served When I was a young fi-llow out ii Kansass, working with a threshing outfit, I well remember one farn vhere there was a red-headed girl an low that girl could mcke a dish Maybe it was because I had the ap petite of youth and liked that--bu neither here nor there. was single then but I smack r.s yet wihen I think about it." Lavere Burgard, the tonsorial artist, who served six years before the mast as one of Uncle Sam's marines, "America's dish beyond a doubt! When corn beef and cabbage is on the table and there is plenty to go around I always hold my plate twice and some time a third time.

I tihink it should be made the national dish just as each nation has a national flowier. They prepare it differently in different part.s of the world. The Feji Islanders give it to you one way and the Esquimas another. Don't be asking anything now about the Feji Island belles or the Esquima beauties --ships ahcw on that kind of stuff. mate." Mr- Burgard often lapses back into the vernacular of the briny deep excited.

Guy W. Albright, local representative of the Metropolitan Casual! Company of Xew York, adds his words of praise: "I cannot speak too highly of corn beef and cabbage and when young mea contemplate matrimony to me about it. I always advise them to see that the lady of their choice can properly prepare, this dish, for corn beef and cabbage has a strong tendency to promote happiness and health around the family ROUTE 1 ITEMS A family reunion was held at the otne of W.
