WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON MAY 28 1924 FAIR DIVORCEE AND ~ mBBMMK Mrs. Lydig Announces Her En gagement to Marry Dr. Grant Has Been Broken NEW YORK, May 28.—Mrs. R ; ta de Acosta' Lydig has issued a formal announcement breaking her engage ment to the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, rector of the Church of tlm Ascension, because of the opposition of Bishop Manning diocesan head of the Protestant Episcopal church. The announcement reads: “Mrs. De Aco’Sta Lydig,‘of thd Hotel Chatham, announces that her engagement to th e Rev. Percy Stick ney Grant has owing to the refusal of Bishop Manning to give his consnt to a marriage in the Protestant Episcopal church.” Bishop Manning refused to sanc tion the marriage because Mrs. Lydig’s divorced husband is still liv ing. Bishop Manning based his refusal on a canon of the church which stipu lates that no minister shall perform p marriage ceremony for any per son “who has been or is the husband pr wife of any person then living.” Mrs. Lydig’s first husband was W. E- D. Stokes. Her second was Maj or Philip Lydig. The engagement of Mrs. Lydig and the Episcopalian rec tor was first announced in Augusta 1921, two years after Mrs. Lydig had been divorced from Major Lydig in Paris. The rector is 64 years old and Mrs. Lydig 45.

Healthful, depend able, economical—you’ll find it a handy flour which thorough tests have shown can be used for .every purpose where flour is needed. Mrs. N , of Tennessee, writes: ”1 have used self-rising flour for many years and find it a perfect success. My biscuits and hot bread are lovely. . . . I get fine results with it for cakes. . . . It is a great satisfaction to know that your biscuits will always rise properly.” Foods made from self-rising flour are always the most wholesome and most economical you can serve your family. They are easily prepared. The pure phosphate baking powder has been added so that you can’t make a mistake in mixing. Look for the Blue Shield. You’ll find it on every bag of guaranteed self-rising flour. Accept no substitutes. FOLLOW THESE FIVE RULES For Making Perfect Biscuits with Self-Riling Flour. (1) See that your oven is hot; (2) Always use sweet milk or cold water; (3) Never add baking powder, soda or salt; (4) Use good shorten ing—lard, vegetable fat or butter; (5) Make soft dough —bake quickly.

PROPAGANDA OF RMDS ATTACKED Rail Lines Accused of Spending Monye to Influence Public Sentiment WASHINGTON, May 28.—The senate late Monday voted, 41 to 29, to consider the question of whether an investigation should be directed into expenditures of railroads for “creating favorable public senti ment.” Over protest of Senator Reed, re publican, Pennsylvania, that such an inquiry would mean “an inquiry into all creation with no adequate re ward for it” the senate voted to take up the Gooding resolution which would authorize the interstate com merce commission t 0 inquire into the subject. Senator Reed declared the cost of the inquiry would approximate the amount disbursed and Senator Edge, republican, New Jersey, contended the investigation would interfere with legitimate advertisement such as that designed to popularize tours, resorts, or farming section which they touch. Senator Brookhart, republican, lowa, said every railroad traversing his state, was spending money to de feat him in the coming primary, ad ding that his own friends were pay ing for it by increased freight rates. “I want them to know a gang of financial pirates in New York is using their money to fool them,” he explained. “One paper in Cedar Rap ids, has just received 5,000 for A four-page political adverstisement against me.
