Held In Hutchinson.
Hutchinson, Nov. 7. A repetition of
the twenty-five live bird shoot, which
occurred here between E, O. Hudson
and Ed O'Brien, of Florence, has been
matched for Thanksgiving. As these
two are considered among the best live
bird shots in the state there is a great
deal of interest among sportsmen in
the second match.
On account of the interest manifested
in the Thanksgiving match letters will
be sent out to the sportsmen of the state
as a preliminary for arranging a general
meeting- here for Thanksgiving.
POOR FARM THIEF.
Abilene Inmate Bobs a Trunk and Se
cures $71.
Abilene, Nov. 7. John Poole who has
been an inmate at the poor farm for
some seven or eight months, is now in
the county jail charged with stealing.
The complaint which was sworn out
in Justice Quinn's court, charges that
some time on Saturday Poole took $71
from the trunk of George Galloway, who
is employed at the farm.
Boole same into the city Saturday af
ternoon, and was about to leave this
part of the country, but the officers
were on his track and he was taken from
the Santa Fe train as it was about to
leave. Considerable money was found
on hi3 person, which is rather uncom
mon for inmates of a poor farm.
TO PAY INDIANS.
Government to Make Settlement
With Chippewa Tribe.
Ottawa, Kas., Nov. 7. The govern
ment will make Its final payment to the
Indians of the reservation here Thurs

$41.43 per capita. This sum is paid
to each Indian of 18 years or age or
over, and to the legal guardian of the
minors under IS. Parents who draw for
their children must be appointed guar
dians by the probate court.

tion will also be issued.

VICTORY FOB Mil H LEY.
Continued From First Page. J
can landslide in Michigan, and Presi
dent McKinley has carried the state by
a majority variously estimated from 75,
000 to 100,000. The entire Republican
state ticket has also been elected, al
though by a smaller majority.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 7 The latest fig
ures this morning give President Mc
Kinley a plurality in Michigan of 82,017.
Col. A. T. Bliss, of Saginaw, the Re
publican candidate for governor, ran
considerably behind his ticket, receiving
60,430 plurality. The state legislature
will be overwhelmingly Republican, the
returns showing a soiid Republican sen
ate and but 11 Democrats in the house.
There was little if any opposition to the
constitutional amendment authorizing
the taxing of railroad and other corpo
rations on the cash value of their prop
erty instead of their earnings, as at
present, ana it was adopted by probably
the largest vote ever cast for such, a
measure.
CONNECTICUT.
New Haven, Conn.. Nov. 7. The clu
rality for McKinley, with practically all
the returns in, is about 23,000. The sur
prise of the day was occasioned by the
fact that the Republican state ticket fol
lowed closely the figures of the presiden
tial contest, and was elected by plu
ralities of over 21,000. The Republifcan
congressmen were elected by majorities
ranging from 10,000 in the First district
to a narrow margin in the Second for
fcperry. The Connecticut general as
sembly will seat nearly all of its sen
ators as Republicans, while the lower
house will be surprisingly Republican in
its complexion.
Nearly all of the cities of the state
gave safe Republican majorities. The
feature of the day was the tremendous
vote cast.
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 7. The re
vised election returns for Connecticut,
with every town and district in the state
heard from, gives the state to McKinley
by a plurality of 2S.415. The Republican
state ticket, headed by Geo. P. McLean
for governor, is elected by a plurality of
14,340. All four Republican congressmen
are re-elected.
The state ticket will contain, 22 Re
publicans and two Democrats as against
21 Republicans and three Democrats two
years ago. The house is Republican by
202, a Republican gain over the last
house of 2L
VERMONT.
White River Junction, Vt., Nov, 7.
Returns have been received from all
but 63 towns in the state, mostly small
agricultural places. Those will prob
ably give additions to the Republican
majority. From the towns which have
made returns Bryan received 13,891 and
McKinley 33,795. This will give a Re
publican plurality estimated at 30,000.
The net gain for the Democrats in this
election over that of 1&96 is about 29
per cent., while the Republicans have
net loss of about 11 per cent.
White River Junction, Vt., Nov. 7.
With half a hundred small towns to be
heard from out of a total of 26, Mc
Kinley's plurality is 30.000 with a prob
ability of the missing- towns augmenting
this 1,200, in a total ot 45,000.
IOWA.
Des Moines, la., Nov. 7. Iowa is Re
publican by a hundred thousand, and a
solid delegation- of eleven Republicans
will be sent to Washington. 523 out of
2,137 precincts in the state have been
heard from. These give McKinley 299,
07 and Bryan 205,842, a net Republican
rain of 20 to a precinct. If this ratio is
maintained and there is little doubt it
will be, McKinley's plurality will be
104,000, the largest on record in the state.
In 1896 McKinley's plurality in Iowa was
65.552.
The entire Republican state ticket is
elected by the largest plurality ever
rolled up m Iowa.
Des Moines. Ia., Nov. 7. With lim
ited returns from SOO precincts McKin
ley's plurality in Iowa will, it is thought
be 80,000. The entire congressional del
egation in the state is Republican, and
Democratic losses are reported in every
county.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 7. No doubt
remains that the Republicans have won
a complete victory in South Dakota.
Frank Crane, chairman of the Repub
lican state committee, has persistently
refused to be quoted during the present
campaign on the probable outcome of
the election, but at midnight he said:
"We have secured sufficient returns
from the state to conclusively show that
we have carried the state for McKinley
by a plurality of from ten to twelve
thousand and that we have elected our
two nominees for congress and the en
tire state ticket. We will have a ma
jority of 40 on joint ballot in the legisla
ture, insuring the election of a Republi
can to succeed Senator Pettigrew. The
result has been a surprise to both sides
as the fusiomsts expected Bryan to
carry the state, while the Republicans
did not expect McKinley's plurality to
reach more than six or eight thousand.
MONTANA.
Helena, Mont., Nov. 7. Bryan's ma
jority in the state will be not far from
18,000. The fusion state ticket is ap
parently elected by several thousand.
Governor Toole is running ahead and
will have at least 10,000 plurality. The
rest of the Democratic state ticket is
elected. The legislature is controlled by
straight Democrats, known as friends of
Senator W. A. Clark.
Helena, Mont., Nov. 7. Although the
returns are incomplete this morning the
Fusion-Democratic-Populists-Unioa La
bor ticket has been elected and the
friends of W. A. Clark, Democrat and
candidate for the United States senate
seem to control the legislature. Of the
counties heard from decisively be has a
clear majority in the house.
Caldwell Edwards, Populist, who ran
for congressman on the Fusion ticket is
undoubtedly elected.
Helena, Mont., Nov. 7. Returns are
far from complete but Democratic State
Chairman Water Coopers claims that
Bryan has carried the state by from
10,000 to 15,000, and Toole (Clark Demo
crat) for governor, and that the re
mainder of that ticket has been elected
by from 4,000 to 8,000, seem to be
well founded. Republican Chairman
Webster concedes that Bryan has car
ried the state, but claims the election
of Folsom for governor and Murray for
congress by small majorities. The latter
is running ahead of his ticket and may
puli through, but this is regarded as
doubtful by conservative politicians. In
fact, it looks like a Democratic sweep.
W. A. Clark's legislative tickets have
won over both Republicans and Daly
Democrats in Butte, Helena and Great
Falls, which will give him a majority on
joint ballot in the legislature, and that
he will be returned to the federal sen
ate seems beyond all doubt. For the
first time in its history Butte has repu
diated Daly, every nominee on the Clark
ticket having a majority over all. while
in Helena the Republicans were only
able to elect one district judge. West
ern, Montana, or the agricultural section,
es usual returned small Republican ma
jorities. Caldwell Edwards, Populist,
who ran for congressman on the fusion
ticket, is undoubtedly elected.
NEVAE-JL
Reno, Ner., Nov. 7. Late returns
throughout the state indicate that
Bryan will carry Nevada by from, L200
to 1,500' and that Newlands, Democrat,
is re-elected by a safe majority. Washoe
county that was supposed to be largely
Republican went Democratic and from
present indications the Republicans will
not elect a man on the ticket.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia, S. C, Nov. 7. A very light
vote was polled in South Carolina. The
full state ticket and full congressional
ticket was elected by the Democrats.
There was seme opposition to Bryan by
prominent cotton mill men, but it failed
to develop much strength.
MISSOURI.
St. Louis, Nov. 7.- While complete re
turns have not been received up to 8:30
a. m. it appears probable that Bryan
and Dockery, Democratic nominee for
governor have carried the state by re
duced pluralities. No complete figures
can be given for some time.
St. Louis gave a handsome majority
! for the World's fair amendments and re
ports from all over the state indicate
there was no opposition to speak of.
This insures the carryingg out of the
project to hold a Louisiana Purchase ex
position in 1903.
St. Louis, Nov. 7. Returns from all
but four precincts in the city of St.
Louis give Bryan 57,755; McKinley 59.
174; Dockery (Dem.) for governor 56,837;
Flory (Rep.) for governor 60,728.
The Democrats elected every candi
date on their city ticket.
St. -Louis, Nov. 7. Twelfth district,
James Butler (Dem.), elected.
St. Louis, Nov. 7. At Republican state
committee headquarters almost com
plete returns from more than 30 counties
showed an average Republican gain on
state and national tickets of 500 com
pared with four years ago. This lent the
Republicans some encouragement, but
Chairman Aikens gave up the state as
the falling off in the party vote in St.
Louis had marred their hope of success.
The Democrats have elected congress
men in 12 Missouri districts and the Re
publicans in two with still two, 12th
and 14th to be heard from. These are
claimed by the Democrats with the pro
bability of their getting them.
In St. Louis the Democrats made
great gains, securing one of the three
congressmen and all the city offices. The
Republican plurality of 15,717 given Mc
Kinley four years ago was cut down to
less than 3,000 on both national and
state tickets.
St. Louis, Nov. .7 Returns from all
but 67 precincts out of a total of 333 in
St. Louis, give McKinley 46.364, and Bry
an 47,803. a plurality of 1.499 for Bryan.
In 1896 the city give McKinley a plural
ity of 15,717. Most of the missing pre
cincts are Republican. Flory, Republi
can, far governor received 47.991 and
Dockery, Democrat, for governor 46,364.
Tenth district, Richard Bartholdt, Re
publican elected.
Eleventh district, Charles F. Joy,
Republican, elected.
Kansas City, Nov. 7. Kansas City,
Mo., complete: McKinley IS, 966; Bryan
17,328. A Republican gain over '96 of 9G
votes.
For governor: Flory (Rep.) 19,094;
Dockery (Dem.) 17,750.
GEORGIA.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 7 Bryan's majority
in Georgia will be about 40,000, which is
28.000 less than given Governor Candler
one month ago. The majority for Bryan
shows an atmarent increase over that of
four years ago of about 4,000. But little
interest was manifested, and a very
light vote was polled. The Georgia del
egation to Washington remains solidly
Democratic. Coffey county in South
Georgia went for McKinley and the
town of Fitzgerald registered a heavy
Republican majority. Bryan's majority
in Atlanta showed a large increase, the
Republicans failing to carry the Fourui
ward, whieh went for McKinley in 1896.
ALABAMA.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 7. Returns
from state are too meagre to give any
figures on vote for president. Bryan
carried the state by a large majority on
a light vote. A full Democratic con
gressional delegation was chosen.
WASHINGTON.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 7. There is every
indication that McKinley has carried
the state by 5,000 majority. In this city
Frienk, Republican fer governor, is run
ning behind McKinley. The election of
governor is too close to be determined
at this time.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 7. It Eeems im
possible to get any definite figures on
governor. Returns are coming in slow
ly. Indications point to election of Re
publican ticket with exception of Frink
for governor, who is defeated by Rogers.
In King county much scratching was
done, resulting in splitting the ticket
between Democrats and Republicans.
COLORADO.
Denver, Nov. 7. The fusion of Dem
ocrats, silver Republicans and Popu
lists made a clean sweep in Colorado.
Bryan's majority, according to the re
turns received up to 7:30 a. m., which
are far from complete, will be 35,000 or
more. The entire fusion state ticket,
headed by John B. Orman for gov
ernor, ia elected by smaller majorities
than for Bryan. The fusionists will
probably have a large majority in the
legislature, but it is impossible as yet
to give any figures cm the result.
Denver. Nov. 7. The returns up to
10:30 o'clock indicate that the Fusion
state ticket has carried 46 out of the 57
counties in Colorado and Orman's net
plurality for governor over Goudy, Re
publican, is estimated at 27,000.
Denver. Nov. t. xne Republicans
concede the legislature to the fusionists,
insuring the defeat or United, (states
Senator Wolcott.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7. Later returns
indicate that Pennsylvania gave over
son nna nluralitv for the Renubliean tick
et, exceeding even the record breaking
plurality of 295.027 in 1896. Of this plur
ality Philadelphia furnished over 125,000
and Allegheny county, including Pitts
burg nearly 50,000. Bryan carried Id
of the 67 counties in the state.
Returns are not yet complete but the
indications are that the next Pennsyl
vania delegation in congress will stand:
Republicans 26; Democrats 4, as against
20 Republicans and 10 Democrats in the
present congTess.
The result of former Senator Quay's
effort to secure control of a sufficient
number of members of the incoming
legislature to insure his return to the
United States senate is yet in doubt.
There is no disputing the fact that the
attempt ot his opponents to defeat him
in certain counties by fusing with the
Democrats was practically a failure.
Phiiadelphia.Nov.i. In the Thirteenth
congressional district George R. Pat
terson, Republican, defeated Congress
man James W. Ryan, Democrat, by 1.SC0
majority. Ryan two years ago had 2,500
majority. This district comprises
Schuylkill county in which there are
more mine workers than any other
county in the state. The entire Repub
lican county ticket was elected and Mc
Kinley had 1.500 plurality.
Philadelphia, Nov. .v. Pennsylvania's
next delegation in the house of represen
tatives will stand:
Republicans 26; Democrats 4: a repub
lican gain of 6.
The four Democrats elected are:
Eighth district Howard Mutchler.
Ninth district Henry D. Green.
Seventeenth district Rufus K. Polk.
Twenty-eighth district J. K. H. Hall.
The last three were re-elected.
Amang the Democrats to go down to
defeat is Congressman Wm. McAleer in
the Third district of Philadelphia. Henry
Burke (Rep.) who defeated him had 1,260
majority. McAleer claims that the elec
tion was a farce and that the mayor of
Philadelphia sent 1,500 police into the
district to intimidate voters.
Philadelphia, Nov.7 Republican State
Chairman Reeder claims that Mr. Quay
will have 151 votes on joint ballot in the
next legislature for re-election to the
United States senate. There are 254 votes
on joint ballot and 128 are necessary to
elect.
The state senate may be a tie on the
question of Quay and anti-Quay.
Returns from the Twenty-eighth con
gressional district indicate the possibil
ity that A. A. Clearwater, Republican,
defeated Congressman J. K. P. Hall,
Democrat, by a small majority. This
would make the next Pennsylvania dele
gation in congress 27 Republicans and 3
Democrats, a Republican gain of 5.
IDAHO?
Boise, Idaho, Nov. 7 Only 43 precincts
out of the 400 in Idaho have been heard
from. These gave the following results:
McKinley 4,774; Bryan 4,810; Standrod
for governor 4,647; Hunt for governor
4.67S; Morrison for congressman 4,767.
Glenn for congress 4,551. '-the same pre
cincts in 1898 gave Moss, Republican, for
governor 2,370 and Steunenberg, Fusion,
3,918.
The net Republican gain is 11.3 per
cent. A gain of 9 per cent is needed to
carry the state. From many of the
heavy Republican precincts nothing has
yet been heard and it seems some of the
predicted percentage indicated will be
maintained. On a basis of 50.000 votes
cast for the Republican and Fusion tick
ets which seems likely to be about the
correct figure, the Republicans would
have 26.400 and the Democrats 23,600, a
Republican plurality of 2,800. It is rea
sonably certain that the Republican na
tional and state tickets have carried the
state. No intelligent forecast can be
given on the legislature.
OREGON.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 7. Oregon gave
McKinley the largest plurality ever
given a candidate for office in this state.
With more than half of the total vote
of the state counted the result is as fol
lows: McKinley, 27,126: Bryan, 17,073;
McKinley's plurality, 10.053.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 7. One hundred
and seventy-one precincts in Washing
ton out of 1,637, give McKinley 8,771,
Bryan 6,582.
For governor, Frinke, Republican, 7,
355; Rogers, Democrat, 7,173.
Returns show that although McKinley
will carry the state of Washington by
6,000 to 8,000, Rogers will probably be
elected governor by a small plurality.
Cushman and Jones, Republicans, are
elected to congress.
Nearly complete returns from all but
six of the 32 counties in Oregon give Mc
Kinley a plurality of 14,105. It is pro
bable that later returns will increase
this plurality.
, DELAWARE.
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 7. Returns
are not all in yet from Kent and Sus
sex counties and it may yet not be pos
sible to say before this: afternoon which
party has control of the state legislature.
In any event it will be very close. The
Democrats are claiming a majority on
joint ballot, but the Republicans say
they will control the legislature and
elect two United States senators. The
result of the vote in the country dis
tricts is brought in by men on horse-
ba'ck and there are no telegraphic or tel
ephone facilities to aid in getting the fig
ures quickly.
Dover, Del., Nov. 7. The legislature is
very close as indicated by the returns
up to noon. The Republicans are claim
ing the organization on joint ballot, and
say that they will elect two United
States senators.
The Democrats say they are appre
hensive that Senator Farlow, of Laurel,
the Democrat who finally gave his sup
port to Addicks, Republican, in the last
legislative deadlock over the United
States senatorship, will hold the balance
of power in the incoming legislature.
Wilmington, Del., Nov. .7 Returns re
ceived this afternoon definitely determ
ined the political division of the next
Deleware legislature. It is Republican
in each branch and will two United
States senators of that party.
In the Twelfth Republican district the
vote for representative was a tie be
tween Bayard Heisel, Democrat, Theo.
F. Clark, Republican. The house will,
resolve the tie in favor of the Republi
cans. of the upeRlibasnc
of the Republicans the next legislature
will stand:
House, 15 Democrats and 20 Republi
cans: senate, 9 Republicans and 8 Dem
ocrats; joint ballot, 23 Democrats and
29 Republicans. This will insure the Re
publicans the United tSates senators if
the two factions can agree upon candi
dates. KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 7. At 6 o'clock
this morning the Courier Journal still
claimed the state for Bryan by 13,091
and for Beckham for governor by 6,000.
Republicans, however, claim the state
for McKinley and Yerkes for governor
by nearly 8.000. Over 200 precincts are
still to be heard from.
Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 7. Democratic
leaders here on unofficial advices from
over the state claim Bryan has carried
the state by upward of 11,000 and that
Beckham Is elected governor by over 7,
000. The defeat of Hall (Dem.) for ap
pellate judge is conceded. This gives the
Republicans a majority on the appellate
bench, the highest court in the state.
Complete returns from this. Franklin
county, give Bryan 1,081 majority over
McKinley. and Beckham 1,064 majority
over Yerkes.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 7. Congress:
Kentucky Fourth district, D. H. Smith,
Democrat, elected.
Fifth district H. S. Irwin, Republi

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 7. At 11 o'clock
the claim was made at Republican
headquarters here tnat the state was
safely Republican by from 7,000 to 10,000.
No returns had been received since early
morning at either Democratic or Re
publican headquarters.
RHODE ISLAND.
Providence, R. I., Nov. 7. The Repub

to be supplied is 15.000. Both Republi
can congressmen were elected by ma
jorities aggregating 15.000.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Manchester, N. H-, Nov. 7. The Re
publican majority in the state on both
the state and national tickets will be
18,000. Every county was carried by the
Republicans. The legislature is Repub
lican by a slightly larger majority than
two years ago.
INDIANA.
Indianapolis. Ind., Nov. 7. Latest re
turns from Indiana indicate that the
Republicans have carried the state by
from 28,000 to 32,000. The Republicans
will have probably elected 11 of the 13
congressmen. The legislature ia safely
Republican.

NORTH DAKOTA
Fargo, N. D., Nov. 7. Returns are
coming- in very slowly but those receiv
ed seem to indicate a Republican plur

McKinley while the Republican state
ticket is elected by a much smaller fig
ure. Wipperman, Democrat, for gover

probable that Major White, Republican,
will pull through for that office.
OHIO.
Columbus, O.. Nov. 7. The Ohio elec
tion returns are still incomplete but
the Democrats concede about 60.000 and
the Republicans claim about 80,000 for
their national and state tickets as com
pared with 61,109 for McKinley in lS'.ii.
The only dispute is over the Third,
Twelfth and .Twentieth congressional
districts and the Republicans claim the
election of ISevin in the Third and or
Tompkins in the Twelfth, which will
make seventeen Republicans and three
Democratic congressmen and one doubt

congress stood sixteen Republicans to
five Democrats.

Are Hot Breads WbolesomeP
That hot breads should be more Indi
gestible than other hot foods does not
sppm reasonable to many, even though
thestatements be made on good author tv.
These statements are deducted from ac
tual results in rnont instances, but there
are always two sides to a question, and it
is only fair to give both, that the intelli
gent housekeeper may f rm her own con
clusions. Sweeping asserti ns, with citms?
poss4ble exceptions, irequently have tVie
opposite result from effect aimed at to
remedy an evil, especially when they run
counter to some favorite hnbit or indul
gence on the -part of another.
WHY NOT HOT HRKADR?
When one considers the fact that other
cooked foods ar.e considered more benefl ial
when eaten warm thn cold, the theory
that hot breads are " nwholesotne makes
some one seek an explanation. The rea
son that hot breads contain a certain
amount of moisture should not interfere
with their healthful digestion, all other
conditions being favorable. Kmptoyintr
good materials, especially flour, yeast and
baking powder, and subject them to the
proper process of mixing and baking, and
why should the bread not be as whole
some fresh from the oven other
Btnrchv foods that are cooked vith the in
telligent knowledge of how to convert raw
material into proper food substances?
Soggy bread and rolls, half d me by put
ting such a mass of dough together that
the length of time riven for baking is not
sufficient to complete the work in a thor
ough manner. If the heat is intwno
enough to reach tho center of the dough,
and there generate sufficient volume of
steam from the moisture incorporated in
the mass, the result is the bread is burned
on the outside before the starch gran
ules in the middle are disintegrated. If
the ferment used is yeatft the plant is not
killed, and when this is swaliowed with
the moist, warm, sticky mass of half con
verted starch the ferment is in its elem-nt
and continues its work without any incon
venience to itself, but very eonM'terab'e
inconvenience and discomfort to the un
fortunate consumer. Vnless the nature
of yeast ferment is understood we do not
see anv remedy for the exisling evil ex
cept the use of other leavening principles,
which furnish the carbon uioxide fiaa
without fermentation.
KNOWING THINGS.
A knowledge of the common things of
life is imperative for our comfort and
well-being. Call it household chemistry,
and, alas! many a housewife shaken hr
bead in a doubt i ng wav and thinks it
sounds all very fine; but hr mother never
studied chemistry in order to be able to
cook, and she was famous In her day not
onlv for her good dishes, but for having
brought up a strong and vigorous fam
ily. And why? Not only were conditions
then very different and the food materials
in use of the tdmplfrst and most whole
some kind, as it was probable before the
age ff food adulterations, but that mother
realized that she was building up a part
of the nation's brain and brawn and di
rected her work accordingly. Unfortun
ately the many exnmph-s we have to show
as the result of mother's system of feeding
do not lead us to conclude that they ail
worked wih the m.-jrne lntel)irnce.
OUR GRANDMOTHERS KNEW SOME
THING OF CHEMISTRY.
That our grandmothers did have some
considerable knowledge of chemistry in
application to household uses is Khown in
many of their old fmi y recipe b .okfl. Be
fore the ue of baking powder was known
they knew that in order to obtain the de
sired lightness in their cakes thy m ist
depend upon. the amount of air btat n into
the batter a nd a No incorporated in t he
white of egg. The heat expanded thij
air and the albumen of the esrgn. being n t
or hardened by th heat, formed the little
cells that confined it and gave them a
light cake or bread.
THE FIRST BAKING POWDER.
Necessity being the mother of invention
and the housekeeper considering the
amount of time and labor Fpent in this
one direction, put on her thinking cap, and
the result was a homemade baking pow
der from wood a&hea and sour mil, tha
two giving her the combination of acid
and felJ&Ui needed. This, probably, was
