CULINARY HINTS
Many Dainty TIffies to Tempt the
Jaded Appetite.

A recipe for using pieces of dry
bread is a bread-and-butter custard.
Beat two eggs, without separating, un-
til light. Add four tablespoonfuls OF
sugar and u pint OF milk, mix and add
a grating of nutmeg. Turn into an or
binary baking dish, cover the top with
buttered bread, butterslde up. Bake in
a moderate oven, as you would ordin-
AIRY custard, until the handle OF a
spoon can be put into the centre and
come up free from milk.
One of the best ways of utilizing
cold potatoes is called, according to the
place where they are served, plain
hashed, brown creamed potatoes, Del
monicO potatoes, or potatoes au gratin.
To four large cold potatoes chopped
fine,is allowed pint of cream sauce.
TO which has been added four table
spoonfuls of grated cheese. Mix the
potatoes with the sauce, turn into a
baking dish and brown in quick oven.
A salad which few people make, and
which is recommended by de Loup, is
made OF Little Neck CLANS. The raw
CLAIMS are cut into small pieces and
mixed with twice their bulk of let
tuce. A French dressing is used. with
q few drops of onion juice from an
onion of not too pronounced flavor.
The cheese fingers to serve with
salads are made by sitting a cup OF
flower into a bowl and working into 1t
with the fingers tablespoonful of
butter and adding half teaspoonful
OF salt. a little paprika or other mild
pepper, and half teaspoonful of bak-
Ing powder. Beat the yolk of one egg

Chicago has turned out anothe-
freak. in the shape of an artist who
has invented a cannon which is in

has determined TO cease drawing pic
lures and instead draw the winds of
heaven TO their untimely destruction,
has spent much time on his invention.

his work to the Government. and ex-

women Smoke Tea Cigarettes

A recent crusade against tobacco Gig
arettes in London has developed the
fact that a large number of women
are slaves to the tea cigarette.
These cigarettes are made of coarse
grade of green tea, which has but lit
tie dust, and is composed of an unbro-
ken leaf. This is dafnpened. so that
the leaves may he stuffed into the pa
pcr cylinders. The taste is said to be
disagreeble at first. the effect on begin
ners being sense of oppression in the
head. After a few cigarettes have been
smoked. intense exhilaration follows
the depressed feeling. Physicians claim
that the effect on the nerves of con-
tlnuously smoking tea cigarettes is as
deleterous as drinking absinthe. The
first step toward cure is cup Of
strong tea.

SILENT BILL sTRoTHeRs
Not All Cowboys Waste Their Breath
In Yelling or Talking.


Don't you believe that all the cow
boys OF the West waste their breath
in yelling or talking" said the Major
as he was telling of life on ranch.
1--WE got a man named Bill Strothers
who hasn't wasted word since he was
old enough to speak. Men who have
chummed with him have told me that
he would go three or four days with
out uttering word. I'd been trying TO
find him for a year. One day | heard
that he was over at Red Hill. and
rode over and found him sitting in the
shade of tree. He nodded 70 me as
got out of the saddle, and l sat down
beside him and said:
"'Well, Bill, I'll give you $50 a month
to come over to the G.. p. ranch. I've
got a dozen herders who need a hard
boss for a few months. l suppose
you've got some private affairs to
straighten up, and I'll give you week
to do it in. What do you say?'
81 said all that and perhaps more.
Bill gave me look of reproach, and
slowly got up and mounted his cayuse.
| thought I'd lost him, and in some
anxiety asked where he was going.
Ranch, of course he srudgingly
replied, and he rode alongside OF me
for thirteen miles without opening his
mouth again.
About eight months after he came
to me / took two days ride in his
company. In those two days | uttered
just ten words, as duly recorded IN my
notebook, and those ten words were in
regard to the body OF a man we found
hanging to a limb. l was mighty lone

started out with the intention TO pre-
serve my dignity. Bill muttered a
'Humph!' over the corpse, but let out
no word. When we got back home
prided myself that had won medal,
but in the midst of my self-eongratula-
lions in walks old Bill and says:
Major, I'm goin'!'
"'But what's the trouble?' | asked.
Anything wrong with the work.

There was third shake, and. draw

some desperate thing. Bill replied:
"'See, hyar, Major. | was out witch
you for two days and you talked too

laughed the Major, and I'm sure I've
done it. I've spoken to him only twice

Rev. B. w. n Simms the beloved
pastor of the Baptist church at Key
tesville last Sunday morning asked for
and obtained leave Of absence from
his congregation for the winter. In
making the request Brother Simms
spoke IN tenderest terms of the happy
relation existing between him and his
congregation and his high apprecia-
tion of their efforts in caring for him
during the several months OF illness
and suffering he had experienced
since he had been their pastor. The
temporary separation from his con-
gregation was not of his own choosing
but he had consented to it at the
earnest suggestion of physicians and
other friends in order that he might
spend the winter in Cuba in quest of
a full restoration to health. A kind
relative who lives in Cuba, had very
generously proposed to bear all the
expense of the trip of himself and
wife to and from Cuba and during
their stay there. The tempting offer
connected with the absolute necessity
OF rest had actuated him In con-
senting to ask for leave of absence
The congregation willingly granted
the request, deeming it best for al
concerned, but at the same time re-
gretted the state of affairs that made
it necessary.

and measures are being adopted by

gwen the subject much attention have
reached the conclusion from actual
experience and observation that to
give food o. clothing without furnish

THE NEW LAW.
Prohibits the use of Arsenic or Alum in Food
Articles.

AIblCAVo'
The law enacted by the last legiS-
lature, a copy of which was recently
published in our columns, and which
prohibits the manufacture or sale OF
any article intended for food, which
contains alum, arsenic. ammonia,
ETC.. places Missouri at the head of
the states in the matter of sanitary
legislation.
Laws restricting the use of alum in
bread have been in force in England,
Germany and France for many years.
In this country, in Minnesota, Wis
consin. Michigan. OHIO, Kentucky,
and several other states, direct legls-
latien in reference to the sale of alum
baking powders has also been effected
In several of these states their sale
has besn prohibited unless they are
branded to show that they contain
alum, and in the District Of Columbia
under the laws of congress, the sale
of bread containing alum has been
illegal.
Following are the names of some
of the brands of baking powder sold
In this state which are showB by re-
cent analysis to contain alum. House
keepers and grocers should cut the
list out and keep it for reference:
