The year-round usefulness Of the To-
mato has made its general preparation,
~ stewing, frying, baking, In soups and
salads, are pretty we'll understood; 90

Butter baking dish and cover the
bottom with bread crumbs, put In Q
double layer Of tomatoes, peeled and
thinly sliced; season with salt, pepper,
q little sugar, sprinkling Of onion jnice
and dots Of butter continue these layers
until the dish 10 full, fnishing with
crumbs molstened In melted butter. Bake

roll each slice In -four highly seasoned
with salt and pepper, then dip In beaten
egg seasoned with onion.juice, roll In

Ia deep fat.
BRoILEp TOMATOES.
Peel and cut into three slices each,

and, II liked, pour around them some
light, creamy, meat sauce, or serve as q
border to broiled stake or chops.
soUFFLE.

served quickly before It falls. Use
stewed tomatoes that have been "cooked
down." well seasoned with salt, pepper,
onion-juice, q little sugar, and generous
smount of butter and rubbed through q
sieve. To one pint add the beaten yolks

SOME PEACH DESSERTS.
PEACH WRITERS.

Put one cupful Of -four In . bowl,
blend In one-fourth teaspoonful Of salt
and one teaspoonful OF sugar. Beat two
eggs until light, add to them one-hslf
cupful Of cold water, and pour over the
flour, mixing TO smooth batter; lastly,
add one tablespoonful OF good olive oil
or melted butter. Halve the peaches,
roll In sugar. dip In the batter until per-
fectly coated, and fry In deep fat.

peaches cut 10 quarters. Mix one cupful
Of sugar with one tablespoonful Of -four
10 small saucepan, add one and one
half cupfuls Of water, and cook ten min
utes, stirring most Of the time; lsdle
this syrup over the peaches, dot well
with butter, and bake until the peaches
and crust are done. There should be
enough syrup to well moisten the fruit
all through the pan, the size of the pan
determining the amount Ii 10 necessary
TO make. 1t Is better, think, without g
top crust. All cobblers should be served
with cream.
FROZEN PEACHES.
Select ripe fine peaches Of good flavor,
peel and quarter them, sweeten by dip
ping into heavy sugar syrup. put into
u freezer, and pack In two-thlrds Ice and
one-third salt for one and one-quarter
hours. They should not be hard and
stiff, but just half frozen.
PEACH ICE CREAM.
!. Make plain vanilla cream by any
preferred recipe, freeze, remove the pad
die Of the freezer, and stir In one-half
the bulk (of creamy of finely favored,
ripe peaches cut into small pieces. Pack,
and allow to stand two hours.
g Mash the peaches to fine pulp or
rub them them through . sieve, add
twice the bulk Of pure cream, sweeten
and freeze.
A word here as to the proper method
Of sweetening frozen mixtures. For
ices, ice-creams, parfaits, ETC., always
use heavy sugar syrup instead Of plain
sugar, as the syrup gives much finer
and smoother grain to frozen mixtures.
To make the syrup, use twice as
much sugar as water, and boil twenty
minutes.-Womsn's Home Companion.

STREET CAR PROPERTY SEIZED
Sheriff Simmons Takes Possession to
secure Payment Of Taxes

At Il o'clock last night Sheriff Simmons
and his deputies, after having received
instructions of the county attorney. at
tached all the property of the Wichita
Electric Railway company to satisfy a
personal tax levy Of $500 for 1Se9. which
the street car company has neglected and
and refused to settle. The officers waited
until the cars had made their last t-i9
and been taken TO the headquarters on
Tenth street. Then they swO69ed down
upon the property and took possession Of
everything in sight, and placed a guard
over the property to prevent any inter
ference on the part of the owners or any
body else. There viii be no street cars
today unless the matter is Strengthened
up in some manner. but whether the at
tachment of the property viii interfere
with the building Of the new line is not
known. It is presumed that it will and
that everything will be tied uD too tight
to bulge.
The property Of the company listed in
the attachment papers consist Of tracks
and equipments, power house and real es-
tate connected Herewith, four lots on
North Main street, where the old car
barn formerly stood, several town lots in
Mathewson's addition. The company also
owns several suburban lots, which are Of
small value
Sheriff Simmons said after the property
was seized last night that he very much
disliked to take the action, but his duty
as an officer compelled him TO do so. The
county tax warrants were placed in his
hands to serve some time ago, and the
company had repeatedly refused TO settle.
claiming that the property was assessed
too high. Mr.. Simmons waited until the
first warrant had expired in hopes that
the company and county commissioners
would reach a compromise He then had
70 secure another tax warrant and went
to Mr.. CoIer Sim and Manager Church.
but could get no satisfaction. Other cor
porations and individuals had been forced
to pay up promptly, and the sheriff went
to the county attorney yesterday for in
strUctions as to how to proceed in the col
lection of the street car comDanys de-
linquent tax Getting his instructions and
the necessary papers, the officers pro-
ceeded 10 carry out the law in the mat
the company last night.
1t is thought the company will take
some action today TO release the property,
and it Is thought by some that they will
go into court over the matter. Kos Har-
ris, attorney for the company. said the
other day that matters were becoming
pretty badly mixed in his opinion. He
said that recently the city had gone into
court and swore that the property was
worthless and not fit for use on the
public streets, and now the county comes
up with an outrageous assessment
against the same property which the city
had claimed in court was worthless. He
intimated that there must be something
wrong somewhere. but the county and
city are very different in some respects
and so far the commissioners VIII not
give cents rebate on the taxes levied
against the company.
