Household Hints For Homemakers VERSATILITY OF CANNED CORN—Canned corn can be used to many ways; Food specialists suggest that it be used in soups, fritters, puddings, cold vegetables salads, and vegetable combination dishes. Corn chowder is a natural for the wintry weather that's usual for late winter. Corn fritters are a novel accompaniment for a main dish, or good with syrup for lunch or supper. Corn sdds variety to pancakes and waffles, and corn pudding is a popular favorite. Succotash, corn , casseroles, fried corn, snd scalloped corn are some of the many ways that canned-corn has achieved its popularity—some of the msny ways that offer opportunity to use more of the liberal supply of canned sweet com that's currently available. SANITIZED SHOE LININGS— Sanitizing shoe lining retards the growth of bacteria and molds, thus inhibiting the development of perspiration odors and rotting of linings. It also'keeps lining leathers from becoming hard snd brittle.

But the peaceful reat of the last earthly remains of some uI the dead was disturbed recently when the earth literally opened up. A crevice, which started at the foot of the hill on the highway far below, climbed until it reached the cemetery and then spread across leaving a crack which divided some of the older graves taking a part or all of a few of them down the hill a short distance. Thar* were around 16 of these graves which had to be moved. Some of them were children's, some were unmarked except by native stones, which bore no inscriptions. Host of them had been there niany, many years with the exception of a soldier, a Cornett, who was buried there in IMS. Some of the graves were moved to the upper part of the cemetery, higher up on the hill und some others up to the cemetery of the Rock Creek Methodist Church and the Osborne cemetery back of ta«k. There we many the Cornett family t>u« there are — name*. Osborc Coi and others How did it ■on* ohUimers who wet* act too ■urprtaed, because the highway, while completed oneral yean ,go, .ligtillv undermine* the foot of the hill. The heavy rains this year ami [recces probably bad something to 1u with it, too. The hUhway department bow the expense of the removal of ihe Waves and yesterday began deal* j ing the tons of dirt. More .h<*a 12,000 yards were taken off to uie hillside, whose burden apparently became more than it could itand up under.
