SOBRIETY JMROWIIIG Statistics Show Licensed Public Houses in Great Britain Are Decreasing. REPORT CONSUL GRIFFITHS Washington, Sept. 23. Sobriety Is in the ascendancy in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and licensed public houses are decreasing In number, according to statistics communicated to this government by Consul General John L. Griffiths, of London. The decrease of drunkenness is attributed primarily to the increase In the price of whiskey, due to the tax, and to the organization of social clubs where persons may drink without frequenting licensed premises. There are 7.660 of these clubs in England and Wales. A decrease' of 10 per cent Is shown In convictions In drunkenness in England and Wales, from 19 to 27 per cent in Scotland and 8 per cent in Ireland. A greater decrease was shown in the convictions of women than of men. ' Statistics show a falling off In the licenses In England and Wales In 1909 of 1470. ; The , total licenses in force January 1, 1910, were 92,575.

Eaton returned the shot, the bullet going through the leg of Lewis and causing a flesh wound, while the bullet from Lewis' gun lodged in the hip of Eaton.

WAS SHOT WHILE DRIVING MURDERED MAN WAS WELL KNOWN BY LOCAL REAL ESTATE AND BANKING MEN ASSAILANT IS NOT LOCATED. Norman E. Black of Muncie. an uncle of Mrs. O. K. Karns of this city and well known by local real estate men and banking officials was mysteriously murdered in South Muncie Thursday evening. Absolutely no clue has been obtained by the Muncie police. Mrs.' Karns went to Muncie Friday morning. An account from Muncie says: Norman E. Black, 62 years old, one of Muncie's most prominent real estate men and vice president, of the People's Trust company, was myster iously shot while out driving in the southern part of the city shortly af ter 7 o'clock last night He died at the Mix hospital at 10 o'clock from a bullet wound In the head. The shot entered the back of the bead and lodg ed above the right eye. A Mysterious Case. The killing is the most mysterious that has occurred in the city for years The police have no clue. The entire department was placed at work on the case, but at a late hour nothing had been found that would tend to solve the mystery of the shooting. Shortly before 7 o'clock Mr, Black called at the Thomas livery barn for his rig, stating that he was going to the southern part of the city. In less than an hour afterward the horse returned to the barn with its fatally Injured driver lying across the seat, with his head resting on the side of the phaeton. Employes of the barn seeing the horse standing in front, went to the rig and found Mr. Black dying. i Lap Robe Around Head. A lap robe had been thrown entire ly about his head and it was saturated with blood and portions of his brain were scattered over the seat. He was hurried to the hospital, but died without uttering a word. There seems no doubt that he was murdered. Black was-not known to have an enemy. All evidence points to the con" elusion .that he was shot while put of the phaeton and his body placed in the rig and then covered with the robe. The lines were wrapped around the whip socket in the usual way as when a horse Is left standing. His clothes gave no evidence of a struggle and none of his valuables were missing. He was known as a Bober man. He had been a resident of Muncie fori twelve years and was active In public life. He owned considerable property. Besides the widow he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. William Williams of Terre Haute; three sons Earl and Clark Black of this city and Harry Black of Terre Hante.

MUST L0VEJ0 COOK Brides and Kitchen Ladies

Mix Affection with Dough, Stew and Coffee. ADVICE OF NEW THOUGHT New York, Sept. 23. "Stir in a littie love," no matter whether you are making biscuits, batter cakes or Welsh rarebit Let love be the inevitable ingredient Sift It with your flour, melt it with your cheese and ale. Brides and cook ladies are supposed to heed these remarks. That is, you must do these things, if you wish to be a successful cook, said Mrs. Mary E. T. Chapin in expounding the metaphysics of the culinary art to the Clubs of Domestic Science in the Pure Food show. Mrs. Chapin, lecturer on humanitarian topics, is. the daughter of an artist and it was through her influence free art lectures for the people were established, in the Boston public library- ' She Is a believer in "New Thought" Mrs. Chapin says the only way to be a good cook is -to love the persons for whom you cook. "Food does not taste right without this ingredient of loving those whose breakfast you are cooking," she says. "No really nourish ing meal was ever prepared without it. The wife who does not care for husband can not possibly prepare as good a meal for him as the woman who makes every little detail of cooking an act of devotion. "This explaining the superiority of home cooking over that found in res taurants, qulck-luncheries and hotels. A chef can't' possibly love the quick lunch public as a woman loves her husband. Seriously, you can't cook unless you love. " "It is because the cooks have to love the work they do that men are better cooks than women. All the great cooks have been men. That's because men care so much more about eating than women do. They may not eat more, but food has more zest for them."
