Federal Grand Jury Indicts
Nicholas L. Cogan.
USE OF MAILS ALLEGED
Salcman Said to Ilave Failed to
Deliver Sets Sold to Oreogon
and Idaho Men.
Book agents of the old days, who
could sell anything with leaves and
cover, have been displaced by a new
order, who even omit the formality
of delivering: the article at all, ac
cording to the findings of the federal
grand Jury. Nicholas L. Cofran was
arrested yesterday In San Francisco
on a federal warrant, according to
word received here, on a charge of
lusinir the mails to defraud.
A secret Indictment was Drought
gainst Cogan on the charge that he
had collected hundreds of dollars from
"victims" throughout the northwest
through orders for a collection of
tooks. Seventeen business and pro
fessional men In Oregon and Idaho
ire Included in the number who com
plained that they paid Cogan. sums
ranging from $25 to $70 for sets of
fcooks tbat he failed to deliver.
History la Sold.
Coran posed ss a representative of
ne "Syndicate I'resa association- ana
lwa selling a "Library of American
Ulstorv." accordin? to Hall S. t,URK
assistant United States attorney. He
collected the purchase price In full.
plus delivery charges, or tooK a sud-
tantial deposit at the time tne oraer
was taken, it was said. The selling
talk of the agent was to the effect
that the price was a mere fraction of
the cost, but was an introduction
price, and each purchaser was to fur
nish a testimonial of the works alter
lis had inspected them.
Portland Men Buy.
Coran operated in Portland, the In-
dlctment charged, and carried on fre
quent correspondence with purchasers
who had become Impatient over the
delay In delivery. Some were said to
have threatened prosecution and to
have protested about the delay of
ets that should have been In their
hands by Christmas, but were months
overdue. The sales took place be
tween March, 1920, and early in the
present year.
Included In the list of men' whom
Cogan was charged with defrauding
are: J. W. Vogan, Portland; Dr. Ed
ward Labbe, Portland: A. C. Emmons

ruKTLAND, Sept. 28. Dear m r,
Richet: I bave a white walit like sample I
made with round nuclt- not Virv low. fin- TA

been cut away, leavlnc It plain; 13i4 inch . -f
front from th hollow In In throat, mak- 1 A
Ins it three inches below waltllne: 10
Inche middla of back. Has a long- set-In
sleeve made sort of bell-ihaped at bot
tom: opens on each shoulder; pulls on
over ead. Will you suggest bow to make
over this walat so I can wear it? I
thought of fringe or band of silk or sash
I don't know what. Will leave it to
your Judgment, loll me what color to
uae with il. My description en other heet.
I have a soft silk drens, like sampie
enclosed. Skirt Is one yard and 20 Inches
around bottom; top slightly gathered and
88 Inches long. Walat plain In back
with high neck; front hu alight V In
neck and slight surplice on left front;
sleeves of green georgette with folds of
silk for cuff; set-In on under waist; has
crushed belt six Inches wide. Please
suggest, how to make this over Into a
dresi. what material and color to use and
trimmings, if needed. I am 38 bust, 5
feet 2 Vi inches tall, waist 31), short neck,
40 yoars old, dark hair and quite fair.
How many yards of material will it take?
Thanking you, MRS. N. K. J., 82d fcL.
Mrs. N. K. J., Eighty-second street:
Tour waist having stripes would not i
be as tastily trimmed with bands as
with fringe of the same shade, about
three inches In depth, the edge of
which would be very effective fin
ished in black chenille run in and out
of margin. Cut your sleeve to below
elbow, giving it all you can of the
wide effect, and edge with fringe,
also neck line. If your waist seems
too plain, why not combine with plain
georgette crepe set in panel effect,
upon which have a dainty design run
in black ruffles? This would be very
effective. I -would advise keeping
the "slip-over," using small black vel
vet buttons and hooks of black silk
made of nufloss. This will give an
added touch and a pretty shoulder
trim.
Your green silk Is too narrow to
use even as the drop skirt and so I
advise that you combine with serge
of same shade or hue and use your
silk ae overtrimming on the serge
skirt. Have your sleeves and waist
sides of serge and a panel back and
front of your silk, the front panel
being cut in one with girdle and
forming the. now popular long waist
line.
Work the taffeta with band
touches done in black rlbbonette or
nufloss. A serge collar about three
Inches wide extending rather far
down, trimmed and edged in hand
work would be good form. Have
nitric round In back, eouare in front.
Four canels of taffeta over a skirt of
serge and embroidered to matcn tne
waist would complete a pracucaDie
and wearable dress.

RS. L. B. O., Dallas, Or.: Lack
of space in this department has
made it impossible to give you an
earlier reply and I trust this column
will still be of service. Tour broad

and rather deep girdle of matelasse

bodice Joined to a rather straight, full

of waist, wide sleeves and neck line.

ERE are some recipes for eour
milk griddle cakes. These are
easier to make with sour milk than
biscuits are. because usually the
amount of m'lk needed to give the
right consistency will be Just about
right to neutralize the amount of soda
needed for leavening.
Sour milk griddle cakes (plain)
One and one-fourth cupa flour, one
fourth teaspoon salt, one-half (level)
teaspoon soda, one egg, one cud well
soured milk, one tablespoon shorten
ing (optional). Sift the dry ingre
dients together, etlr smooth gradually
(but quickly) with the egg yolk and
milk mixed together and fold In the
melted shortening and stiff-beaten
egg white. Bake on an evenly heated
griddle. If desired, add one table
spoon sugar to improve flavor and
brownlnc.
The exact amount of flour varies a
ittle. You need to learn how to Judge
Just the right thickness of batter, and
sometimes it is necessary to 'scant
the wetting slightly.
If you have a spoonful or two of
sour cream with the milk, the short
ening may "be omitted or "scanted,'
according to the richness and quan
tity of the cream. The above is
small family' quantity that can
easily be doubled or trebled.
If you have only oneihalf cup sour
milk on hand, use it and make up the
wettlnff with water or sweet milk.
taking either one-fourth teaspoon
soda and one teaspoon baking powder
or one-half teaspoon soda with one
half teaspoon cream of tartar, as may
be most convenient.
If you bave only one-fourth cup
sour milk, make up the amount of
wetting with sweet milk or water and
use one-eighth teaspoon soda with
one and one-half level teaspoon bak
lng powder or one-thalf teaspoon soda
with three-fourths teaspoon cream of
tartar. '
If you have also a few sifted bread
or biscuit crumbs that you want to
utilize, you can try the following:
"Bread crumb griddle cakee One
cup sifted crumbs (not too dry; use
less if "bone dry"); one-half cup flour,
one cup thick well-soured milk, one
half egg, well beaten; (you may be
using the other part of the egg to egg
and crumb fish, or chops, or croquette
"for two"); one-half teaspoon soda,
one-fourth teaspoon salt, one table
spoon sugar (optional). Mix and use
as above. May also be similarly mod
ified if less sour milk is available.

Is Your Blood Free
of Waste Products?
Many Human Ills Are Due to Waste Products in the
, Blood.

How Nature Shows Her Danger Signals.
' The human system is farever
striving to get rid of the waste
matter which accumulates. It is a
life work that goes on forever.
- When waste products remain in the
system and get in the blood, they
cause sickness and poor health.
- Nature then needs help.
If your face is pale and drawn;
if you are under weight; if you
suffer with rheumatism or skin
eruptions, such as eczema, sores,
pimples, or boils, you may know
that your blood and general system
is filled with these poisonous waste
products. In this condition you are
an easy prey to all kinds of diseases
because your strength and vitality
is "below par" you haven't the
power to fight off disease.
S. S. S., through its blood purify
ing and system building qualities,
aids nature in throwing off these
poisonous waste products. It has
proven this by the fact that it has
relieved thousands and thousands of
cases of rheumatism, skin diseases,
and has restored health, strength
and vitality to untold numbers of
men and women who were weak and
run-down.
If you, or any one of your family,
are not enjoying perfect health, look
out for the waste products which
have accumulated in the system.
Get rid of them before they wreck
your health.
Get S. S. S. from your drug store
and use it according to directions.
Give yourself, or them, a chance to
enjoy life again.
Our Medical Director, a specialist
in blood disturbances, will be glad to
