reserve Ia meant the capacity os the

1t may seem quite 4 simple matter TO

How to Make an Omelet.

The most successful way Of proceeding
is to beat the whites and yolks of the
eggs separately until both are light; then
add to the yolks one tablespoonful OF
milk for each egg and the frothed whites
Stir lightly together and turn into the
omelet pan, which must be ready on the
stove, with just enough hot, browning
butter in it to keep the omelet from
sticking to the pan. AS the omelet set;
slip thin bladed knife under one edge
and lift it enough to let the uncooked
egg run under. As it hardens roll up q
little and turn ont on a plate Do moi
wait for it to be entirely cooked, The
heat remaining in it will make it solid
without hardening. No salt must be
added until the omelet is cooked, as il
will make it tough. So made, an omelet
should be light, puffy mass, brown Oh
the outside and golden hearted within.

OUR FOREST RESERVE.

Preservation OF Government Timber
Becomes a Serious question.

with 70. est reseTvas he's become u seri.
Gus question in the department of the
interior. Congress passed law pro-
viding for setting apart tracts of

from lime to time set apart tracts

Plans For Their Protection.
One of the most enthusiastic forestry

Part of the scheme for the preserva-

timber from them to pay for their pro-
