OLD-TIME DISTILLERY
One Relic cl the Past Is Still Busy
Producing Corn Liquor in Alabama
Alabama has one thing no other State
has—that is the only corn whisky dis
tillery of the old type so prevalent a
few decades ago. In this case the
seeming ack of progress is real prog
ress, for by the old method the distiller
g<-t only two and a half gallons of liq
uor from a bushel of corn, and it was
considered to be a generally healthful
and palatable beverage.
By the newer modern method the dis
tilleries add what Is known as a cooker
to their equipment, and boll out the last
drop of Juice from the corn, getting as
much as five gallons to the bushel But
the quality Is said not to be so good
This olo-time distillery Is busy every
day turning out corn liquor for people
who prefer the old-time article.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-—Signed con
tracts instead of religious vowe united
Frederick A. Carpenter, a wealthy
Chicago business man, and Miss Ger
trude Wakefield Hassler, the “velvet
slipper girl,” *as man and wife in the
first ceremony of its kind on record.
Miss Hassler, who was a popular
concert and church singer, recently
came Into public notice through her
$500,000 ’’love balm" suit against Carl
G. Fisher, multi-millionaire automo
bile dealer and race promoter of In
dianapolis. The suit was settled for
$25,000.
The marriage contracts were signed
at Kenosha, Wis. The one signed by
the ’’contract bride” reads as follows:
“L Gertrude Wakefield Haasler,
do by the signing of this contract,
give myself to Frederick A. Car
penter to be his lawful wife, to
have, to hold and to love. I prom
ise to be faithful so long as he
proves true and I will strive to
fill with a vast measure of con
tentment each a<v of our lives
thus Joined.”
This was the agreement signed by*
Carpenter:
“I, Frederick A. Carpet. >r, by
{his contract, take a's rny lawfi* 1
wife Gertrude W. Haasler, and
solemnly promise and agree ta
faithful in words and thoughts
and deeds, to protect apd love and
devote mv life to her to bring her
the happiness and contentment
she so well deserves.”
After the reading and signing of
tiie contracts Miss Hassler’s mothef
put both her daughter’s hands in
Carpenter’s and said: “May all the
good and truth of tlie universe com
bine to keep your hearts bright.”
Miss Hassler’s suit against Fisher
attracted widespread attention. She
herself furnished the climax, when
she took the stand and told her story
of the millionaire clubman. She said
that Fisher at one time had begged
her to allow him to take one of her
velvet slippers with him to Europe.

Bees Acquire Opium
Habit From Poppies
COLUMBUS, Dec. 6 — Just add this
one to all the queer things that have
happened In the year of grace 1913. and
believe it's true because W. E Baker,
Deputy Auditor of the State of Ohio,
says he can prove it.
The honey bees near Fostorla, which
is Baker's home town, have contracted
the opium habit. Like the Chinese, they
get theirs from the poppy. Baker and
many other residents of Fostorla grow
Oriental poppies.
The bees have found this out and of
late they are leaving acres of clover
blossoms to hunt out the poppy beds.
They work vigorously for an hour or
ho and then fall to the ground appar
ently as stupefied as are Chinese opium
smokers after "hitting the pipe."
Pastor Says Cooking’s

CINCINNATI, Dec. 6.—in a sermon

“Cooking Ip the biggest single busi
ness in America. The American house
wives spend $14,000,000,000 annually for
food. Ten per cent of this is wasted
before it reaches the dining room table.
Women spend 90 per cent of the money

He is 78.
A housekeeper cares for the old-
