Good way 60 Cook Tomatoes.

A good and unusual way to cook to-
matoes is the following: Peel aud slice
eight tomatoes. Put them in a coarse
cloth and press most of the juice into a
bowl. Save the juice. Chop the toma-
toes and mix in two tablespoonfuls OF
melted butter. Stir up well, put in a
buttered mold, fit on the top, set in a
pot Of boiling water, and keep at a fast
boil for. one hour. When done turn out
on fat dish and pour over il the fol-
lowing source: Heat the tomato Juice,
stir in tablespoonful of butter rolled in
flour, season with pepper, sugar and salt,
and boil one minute.

The Powder magazine.

To the Editor of the Press:
The Sunday Times asks ''if there is any
reason why the city should build powder
house to accommodate few dealers in that
article" 1t is not question simply of the
accommodation of few dealers; it has
wider bearing than this, and includes the
relation of the whole community to the
traffic in explosives. That gunpowder and
other explosives are necessity in the COM
munity, no one can deny. They are in use
in this city nearly every day in the year, in
preparing foundations for buildings, making
drains and sewers, removing distractions
from the streets and for various other pur-
poses. The progress of our civilization has
been, and is largely dependent upon the use
of these articles. They are public neces-
sity, and cannot be dispensed with. But,
almost every one will say, powder is dam
gerous. This is true to some extent, but
much of the danger feared is imaginary.
Powder properly cared for and handled, is
no more dangerous than many other articles
OIL commerce, and not so much so as some.
However, it is well to allow that 1t is dan
gerous, and great care should be exercised
10 dealing with it, Now, as it has been
shown to be necessary thing to have, it
SnOuiu D6 Hdue conveniently accessible TO
such as have occasion to use it. To this end
1t is necessary that dealers in it should be
constantly supplied with quantities sufi-
Gent to meet the demands as they are made
IL 1t is dangerous, then suitable provision
should be made for its safe keeping The
law makes it the duty of the mayor and
aldermen of the city to have it under their
immediate supervision, and rightly so. In
the exercise of this supervision, the city has,
for the last fifty years or more, provided a
place for its storage, and has made
stringent regulations for its keeping and
transportation. This has undoubtedly been
done with the idea that whatever danger
there might be in the traffic, could be better
guarded against by their oversight In
diyidual interests might lead to degree of
carelessness in handling it that would be
inimical to the safety Of Others Is it not.
therefore, better that the city should con-
tinue this control and provide means for its
exercise, especially as at the present time 1t
Is not to be put to any expense for the cree
ton of building, but only required to
furnish site for one, it being a part of the
contract when the land on which the present
magazine stands was sold to the Maine Gem
tral Railroad Company, that when It was
removed said company should at its own ex-
pense, build a new one in such place as the
city might designate? r.

She Travelled FIVE Hundred Miles
and Was Cured by rrs. Smith and
McMulIen,

One year ago, when Drs. Smith and McMullen
were at Springfield, Mass, Miss Minnie Brown,
VINO resides at Machiasport Maine, went to
Springfield, and was cured by them. Twelve
years ago Miss Minnie fell and injured her knee.
Sne received treatment at the time from her fami
~ physician, and partially recovered; but the
Knee was swollen and very weak. Five years ago
le fell on the sidewalk, and from the injury sus-
aimed by this accident she was confined to her
ped for nearly year. She finally arose from her
ed only to find herself helpless cripple, and
was unable to walk only when supported by
crutehes The knee joint was very much enlarg-
Gu, caused by an ehusion of serum into the Joint
anu was SO weak that she coul 4 not step on the
Iooe. she did not suffer from very much pain, but
on account Of the dropsical condition of the knee
anu ankle the leg was useless. Her general
health became very much impaired by her long
confinement in bed She had consulted several
tmment physicians, who recommended her to
ave the limb amputated. Her uncle Edward II.
Bowers, OF Ola Main street, Springfield, sent her
apaper containing notice of cures that were be-
ing made by Drs. Smith and McMullen. She i'm
mediately went TO Springfield, called upon the
doctors and received two magnetic treatments
and as strange as it may seem she was cured
then and there. Anyone reading this statement
can imagine the surprise of her family when they
saw her, on her return home, walking without
crutch or cane, and well girl. This cure was
made without giving single dose of medicine;
simply by the laying on of hands. Miss Bowers
remained in Springfield several weeks, and was
visited by great many people who viii testify to
the truth OF this statement. Drs. Smith and Nc
Mullen are permanently located at the United
states Hotel and may be consulted free Of charge
from . a. m. till p. M, daily, except Sundays.
They cure all forms Of chronic diseases, and will
cure you If YOU will give them an opportunity
