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?

Not only will those who thoroughly

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.

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

ParlDK VeKetables Thin to Save.
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.
