A small amount of meat may be cured In a stone JJar. Often a house keeper has an opportunity to buy cheap a piece of meat too large for one cooking. Thla may be cured for later use. Salt, sugar and molasses are the safe preservatives. Borax, boraclo acid, formalin and salicylic acid are considered by most authorities on the subject to be Injurious to the health.

New York A "pickpocket trust," and other compact organizations of criminals exist in thi city'a under world, according to testimony of Judge Swann, of the Court of General Sessions, a witness befoie the alder manic committee investigating vice conditions. Pickpockets dispose of their loot at central "fences" after being assigned to sections of the city to ply their trade, and when they are arrested they are abk jto get bail read ily and lawyers to defend them. The "trust" ia run like any lawful busi ness, he declared. "Many strong associations of crim inals exist, well organized and con ducted for the purpose of theft," said Judge Swann. "There are, however, many different kinds of associations. For instance, there is the blackmail ing association." To crush these "trusts" Judge Swann advocated that city detectives be divided into separate groups, nom inally known as the homicide group, bomb-throwing group, and so on. Referring to the "pickpocket trust," Judge Swann told of one mem ber being assigned to Broadway and Forty-sixth street for five years, rifl ing pockets and pocketbooks of men and women in the mctinee crowds. This member was arrested four times and always the "trust," through its representatives, came to his defense. FIFTH DAY'S FIGHT IS DRAW Another American Woman Killed by Flying- Shells.

London A bomb which was explod ed in the country residence of Chaneel- lor of the Exchequer David Lloyd- George at Walton Heath Thursday i morning, virtually destroyed the hand some house but injured none. Police inquiry brought the suffragists under suspicion and a message from Cardiff, Wales, quoted Mrs. Emmaline Pank- y hurst as accepting the full responsibil ; ity for the act. ; "We have blown up the chancellor of the exchequer's house," Mrs. Pank- hurst said to an enthusiastic meeting of sufTargettes at Cardiff. "The au- thorities need not look for the woman who actually did it. I personally ao cept full responsibility for it." Mrs. Pank hurst declared that if she ; were sent to penal servitude she would ; go on a hunger strike. "The government will then have to set me free, " she added, "or let me , die. If I drop out a hundred women are ready to take my place." I The beautiful Lloyd-Georee country residence is new and has not yet been occupied. Mr. Lloyd-George himself is on a motor trip through France. Most of the rooms in the building were wrecked. The bomb, which con sisted of two seven-pound cans of pow der, had been placed in oil-saturated heaps of shavings in separate rooms. Burning candles carried the flame to the wood and caused the explosion. The force of the blast split the brick walls in all directions. Finding of two hatpins in the wreckage at once led the police to sus pect women. Then came a report from neighbors that an automobile containing several women had passed through the village early in the morn ing. An official of the Woman's So cial and Political Union, however, told the police that the society had no knowledge of the perpetrators. "General" Flora Drummond, how ever, declared that the explosion was "undoubtedly the work of women." She exclaimed enthusiastically: "I think it is grand. It was a fine act, successfully carried out, and shows the determination of the women. I say 'all power to all kinds of militancy in tbe direction of harassing cabinet ministers, short of taking human life." This is the second time within a year that violent methods have been used against the residences of cabinet ministers, the first being an attempt to burn the house of Lewis Harcourt, secretary for the colonies, at Nuneham.
