WITNESS IS ON HER GUARD of economy now to turn to your cook book and study the subject. Did you know that you can purchase more energy in dried fruits for the same money than lean meats? You may have used dried fruits before, but are you using them as widely as you should for the most economical diet? Prunes, tigs, dates, apricots, apples and peaches do not exhaust the range of choice among dried fruits. Yet how many even of these is it your custom to serve? I.riirnlnK to Know Comment Not only will those who thoroughly investigate the value and the various uses of cornmeal release the amount of wheat they have used for service to our armies, but they will save money for themselves.

STOCK CAREER ABANDONED FOR VAUDEVILLE. riaintlff's Attorney XTslng Much Time Discussing Medical Terms "With Dr. Carlo Vlsetti, Who At tended Woman In Last Days. . Jtrs. Etna Chattin-Fuller, Mrs. Fa ling's trained nurse during the last years of her life, again matched wits with Attorney Coy Burnett when she was recalled to the witness stand yes terday afternoon to testify in the con test over Mrs. Faling's will. She had Just testified that Mrs. Faling was re covering from a paralytic stroke of the right arm when she was called into the case as a nurse. "Isn't that taken to indicate that there is a clot on the brain?" asked Sir. Burnett. "They say it does," replied the nurse. Further attempts of Mr. Burnett to get her to admit that she as a trained nurse should know whether or not such a. paralytic stroke is known as direct evidence of a brain clot were ineffec tual. She stuck to her statement that he had heard it only as a report. Paralytic Stroke Frequent. Continuing his cross-examination re garding Mrs. Faling's mental and physical condition from 1914 to 1917, the latter year being the year of her death. Attorney Burnett etxracted from Mrs. Fuller the statement that Mrs. Faling, during those years, was frequently a victim of periods of coma -which lasted for as long as three days. "She was not sound asleep all of that time, but often she would lie still for so long that I had to shake her to see if she were still alive," testified Mrs. Fuller. "Sometimes she would get tip for half an hour or an hour and walk or sit up and then would go back to bed and relapse into sleep." The nurse said that Mrs. Faling had several such attacks in 1915 and others in 1916. The longest period she had ever gone without being subjected to these periods of dormancy, said Mrs. Fuller, was from June to October, 1916, the period embraced by the making of the will. These paralytic strokes of the right arm and the consequent periods of coma, continued Mrs. Fuller, began to affect Mrs. Faling's speech, hands and feet in more or less aggravated form from early in 1915 up to the time of her death. liw Point Disputed. Mrs. Fuller testified with some feel lug regarding the -physical misfortunes which overtook Mrs. Faling. in spite of all precautions taken. Paralysis agl tans, or palsy, was followed rapidly by a fall from a cot which resulted In a broken hip. an aggravated attack of la grippe and later by paralysis and neuralgia. She and the attending physi cian, she asserted, feared Mrs. Faling might succumb to any one of these. Mrs. Fuller was Insistent that Mrs. Faling's mind remained clear through an inene unnappy periods. A major portion of the afternoon was consumed in argument between John F. Logan, attorney for Thomas H. Strong and C. L. Mead, chief benefi ciaries under the will, and Coy Burnett, attorney for Dr. W. Tyler Smith, of Sheridan, Or., who is attempting to break the instrument on the ground that he is the nearest of Mrs. Faling's surviving kin. as to whether the court should force Mrs. Fuller, as a witness for the sustaining of the will, to sub mit six letters showing specimens of her handwriting, Mr. Logan asserted that a rule of law made it necessary that Mr. Burnett re call Mrs. Fuller as his own witness if he wanted this handwriting, in which case, under the same rule of law, Mr. Burnett would be bound by the evi dence and testimony resulting. ' Mrs. Burnett contended that the peculiar circumstances surrounding the drawing of the will should permit him to call on Mrs. Fuller to produce this evidence even while she Is a witness for the other side. Jadee to Rale Today. Mr. Burnett, in brief, informed the court that he wanted these letters written by Mrs. Fuller In order that he might prove that the signature at tached to Mrs. Faling's will was in i handwriting much larger than that used by Mrs. Faling at all other times. He asserted that Mrs. Fuller's hand writing was much larger than Mrs. Faling's and that he would attempt to prove by these specimens that Mrs. Fuller had guided Mrs. Faling's hand when the will was signed. Judge Tazwell took the matter under advisement until this morning. He said ne would give his ruling as soon as court convened. The morning session and part of the afternoon were devoted to the continued cross-examination of Dr. Carlo Visetti, Mrs. Faling's physician from the Fall of 1912, until her death, July 5, 1917, "When you took Mrs. Failing's case did' you know that two mental experts had pronounced her hopelessly .insane?1 asked Mr. Burnett. - x dirt not and never heard or it, was the witness' quick reply. "Did you know that it was a notorious fact around the Sargent Hotel that Mrs. Faling was regarded by everyone there as mentally deranged? "I did not." " AVltnee Will Be Recalled. Dr. Visettl's office was in the Sargent Hotel at that time and was on the same floor on which the apartment occupied by Mrs. Faling was situated. "Did you know that before you came into the case Mrs. Faling had been kept for months in a cottage in Irvin.g- ton because of her hopeless insanity?' resumed Mr. Burnett. ,"I did not." A tedious period dragged by whil Mr. Burnett and Dr. Visetti argued over the l-.eaning of medical terms and the symptoms produced by the diseases in question. Words of thunderou sound and spelling-floated over th courtroom like a flock of birds, as Court Reporter Dufur stopped th verbal war time and again to get the proper spelling of many words. Dr. Visetti said that he and a con suiting physician gave Mrs. Faling up June 20. 1917. She died July 5. 1917 . During this period he said she re mained in a virtual state of coma. Dr. Visetti and Mrs. Fuller will both be recalled to the stand today. IS Iluhla Pearl.

What do you know about cornmeal as a breakfast food? How long is it since you have served cornmeal mush? What do you know about the other uses of cornmeal? How long is it since you've served Johnny cake, fried mush as a dessert with syrup, it's particularly de licious cornmeal cooked with raisins or dates, Indian pudding, cornmeal polenta and cornmeal and oatmeal wafers? Add at least some if not all of these really delicious dishes to your family bill of fare. If you wish recipes for the use of cornmeal, write to the department of agriculture. Washington, D.

Now more than ever it is wise for the housewife to give thought to the waste of good rood that hurried prepar- ng for the table sometimes makes a ig percentage in table costs. No irections are necessary each cook must consider the problem in her own kitchen herself. For example, the careless paring of potatoes may cause a loss of perhaps 0 per cent. Scraping potatoes will educe the waste. Consider your other vegetable service in the same light. Thus you will save money for your- elf, food for the Nation and do your bit effectively at home in your own kitchen. TACOMA WOMAN INJURED Mrs. Catherine CoweH Jumps From Auto In Path of Train.
