should be thoroughly cleansed by rub-l

the teeth. particularly the inside and up

Water Ices. There are two ways OF
preparing ices. One, by boiling the wa
ter and sugar, and then cooling. The
other, by simply mixing the sugar and
water without cooking. The former is
decidedly the better method. An I'M
cooked ice lacks body, and melts rapidly
when exposed to the air. Where sugar
and water are boiled the time must be
noted exactly, the scum removed and
syrup strained while hot through 9 fine
cloth. The freezer must be packed the
same as for making ice cream, only stir
ring occasionally. Fruit jelly may be
used in the place OF fresh fruit, allowing
half pint of jelly to each quart of water,
sweetened to The taste. When water ice
is to be served in form, proceed pre-
cisely the same as for moulding ice
cream.
Frozen Fruits. Frozen fruits are mixed
and frozen the same as water ice, mash
ing and cutting the fruits but not strain
ing. All fruits must be mashed or cut
into fine pieces, as the fruit juice cbills
more quickly than the liquid. A whole
strawberry wilb for instance, in ten min.
utes freeze as hard as bullet, while the
surrounding liquid will be quite soft. II
canned fruits are used only half the guam
tity of sugar gwen in the recipes for fresh
fruits will be required,
Strawberry Sherbet. One quart Of ripe,
red berries, one pound of sugar, one
quart OF water, juice Of two lemons. Boil
the sugar and water together for five min
utes. A id the lemon juice to the straw
berries and mash them. When the syrup
is cold pour it over the berries and strain.
Freeze and add the whites of two eggs
beaten to froth, put in just before it is
finished Delicious.
Current Ice. Add one pound of granu-
lated sugar to one pint of water, boil five
minutes, then set away to cool. Mash
and squeeze red currants through jelly
bag until you have one pint of juice, add
this to the syrup and pour into the freezer
to freeze. Serve in sherbet glasses.
Roman Punch. One quart of water,
one pint of sugar, juice of six lemons.
Let the sugar and water boil from five to
ten minutes and when cold add to the
lemon juice and freeze. When ready to
serve fill the sherbet glasses ami pour

Cold water Candidates for office.
The prohibitionists held a state conyen-
ton a. Seattle last week and nominated
full ticket for the November election.
In some way Yakima is not represented
on the ticket. 1t is somewhat OF a sur
prise that the cold shoulder was given to
our cold water people as they have been
quite active in the cause and while they
have not been able to control the appe.
titles of citizens they have managed to
close the saloons and general business
houses of North Yakima on Sunday and
drive large amount of trade from the
city. This should be glory enough and
should have entitled them to representa-.
Iion on the state ticket. The ticket az
nominated is as follows

Pope Leo X once honored his banker,

a banquet at the latter's palace on the
Tiber. AT the termination of the feast
Don Agostlno flung the whole of the su.

claring that he was determined that plate
thus sanctifed by the use of his holiness
should never be used again. The pom
tiff was greatly impressed by this COM

shortly afterward in happy ignorance of
the fact that Don Agostino had taken the
precantion to place net carefully con-

the holy father from the palace he exper-
fenced no difficulty whatsoever in recov-
