having heard an unaccustomed
sound her curiosity was aroused
to see what was in the pantry.
So, returning alone she lit a
matched and peered in. There
lay a rattler, she says eight feet
long, but it is likely her magni-
fying glasses were on at the in-
stant. Beating a retreat she
warned Mr. Bryson who dipatch-
ed the snake. We have not seen
MrJ Bryson, but the girl says
there were eight rattles. How
the snake got into the spot and
remained without doing harm is
a mystery, but it is presumed
that at the opportutoity of an
open door and absence of anyone
from the room it crawled to the
spot, to meet death that might
easily have been that of the
child or girl—Comanche Van-
guard.
A WOMAN VOTER
WAS VISITOR HERE
Mrs. Geo. W. Hazlewood and
two children of 'Arizona were
visiting in the homes of C. E.
and J. W. Ferguson the past
week. Mrs. Hazlewood and her
husband left the Valley Grove
community soon after their mar-
riage twenty four years ago and
located where they now live.
This was her first trip back. She
reported they had succeeded
nicely in the cattle business in
Arizona. She and the children
visited her people at Albany be-
fore coming here. They left for
hoine Monday.
Mrs. Hazelwood is one of few
women ever seen in these parts,
who has exercised suffrage at
the ballot box. She says any
doubting Thomases as to the ef-
fectiveness of statewide prohibi-
tion will soon be disillusioned if
they will come out into Arizona
City Attorney Charles F. O! Don-
nell, of Dallas, were here on a
visit to the Thurber gas and oil
fields a day or two this week.
The result of their visit is not
known, but considering that
Dallas is looking for a new gas
supply to take care of immediate
future needs, and that Mayor
Lindsley recently had the Thur-
ber field inspected with a view
of considering it as an available
source of supply, their visit this
week is believed to have a bear-
ing on the gas question gener-
ally. —Thurber Journal.

SOME CLOSE RACES
IN HOOD COUNTY
There was considerable inter-
est in this city over the race for
county judge in Hood county as
two of the candidates were well
known here. The returns as
shown bv the Grapbury papers
gave the present encumbent
Judge W. L. Dean reelection by
55 votes over Junior Ator, the
present county attorney of Hood.
Some other close races in that
county were as follows: For
district clerk, Roy Hightower
elected by 49 votes over J. L. C.
Long. For tax assessor Clay
Johnson won out by 10 votes
over John C. Adams. For com-
missioner of the Granbury pre-
cinct J; L. Bagwell received 224
to R. W. Simmons 220.
THE CAUSE OF
PTOMAINE POISON
During the hot weather, one
often reads of ptomaine poison-
ing. Most cases while severe,
do not result fatally, but the af-
ter affects last a long time. Of-
ten ptomaine poisoning is the re-
sult of ignoifcnce on the part of
the new housekeeper, of during
vacation time when away, in or
dering foods that do not go to-
ous.
the can at once, and the best
plan is to cook all and use what
is needed. Put the rest in an
earthenware or glass jar, or if
one uses agate, be sure it is not
chipDed before you put your food
away in it. Housekeepers should
be very careful not to use nickel
or chipped agateware. v
Be sure to watch leftover chick-
en and chicken stock. When
boiling chicken for the next days
use strain the stock into a glass
jar. When cold put in the bot-
tom of the refrigerator,* but do
not cover. Next day remove fist
and bring to a boil quickly.
Chicken stock turns quicker than
meat stock.
Then fish. Tnere is no food
more wholesome than fresh fish,
and nothing more dangerous
when stale. Both fish and crabs
are frequently the cause of pto-
maine poisoning. Therefore, it
is very important to be sure one
buys only from reliable dealers—
ones who keep the fish well ioed
and nothing else in the box. It
is dangerous to buy fish from
meddlers, for sometimes they
have been out in the sun and heat
for hours before they come to
your door. As stated before if
one has ptomaine poisoning, it
takes a long time to get over it,
and it causes a great deal of pain
so to avoid that be careful of
combinations of foods and be
sure to have fresh foods and take
rood care of the left overs.
Bure they have cooled before]
ting them in the refrigerator.
