THE COOKBOOK.

In making any sauce put the -four
and butter in together, and your sauce
will not be lumpy.
A heavy salad is always out of place
in an elaborate dinner. Mayonnaise is
permissible, but French dressing is
better. Il n
If corned beef is very red, which
means it is very salt, put it to cook in
cold water. This draws out a portion
of the salt.
When croquette mixtures are too wet
to mold and shape, put in more chop
ped meat or fish or IN a desperate case
finely pounded breadcrumbs.
In making custard for lemon pies it
is better to partly bake the crust be-
fore adding the mixture SO that it may
not be absorbed by the paste.
Gingerbread is improved by adding
to it, when mixing, a cupful Of chop
ped prunes. Use the juice Of the
prunes instead of water and mix the
dough a little sitter.
Fried breakfast bacon is much i'm
proved If cooked in some Of the bacon
fat saved from the previous day. There
should be just enough for the bacon to
float in, and it must be hot before the
rashers are added. Cook three min
utes.

N VALUATION.
About a Million and a Half Added to
the Valuation of Railroads in
the State.
Total ValuationWiM be Nearly $50 ,ooo,-
ooo-Board Working on Other
Property.

Under the new valuation fixed by the
state board of equalization the total
valuation of railroad property in the
state for purposes of taxation will be
about $2O,0OO,O00. Last year the total
valuation was about 1S,OO0,O00. With
the increase of 81 900 a mile made on
the main lines of the several roads,
there will be an added valuation of
nearly a million and a half of dollars,
the total main line mileage being near
ly 1900. In addition to this there
is the natural increase caused by the
additional branch lines built in the
state.
The state board this morning decided
to assess express companies on the
same basis at last year. The ASSESS
ment of telegraph companies was
then taken up. Superintendent l. Nc
Michael of the Western Union company
appeared before the board and made an
argument for reduction in valuation.
He stated that the present valuation of
S110 a mile was more than the original
cost Of the telegraph lines, which was
about 500, to say nothing of deprecia-
ton in value. The matter of the tax
alton of the franchises. he held, was a
serious legal question, and he thought
that amendment to the state constitu-
ton providing for the taxation of the
franchise was not in accord with the
constitution of the United States,
which granted a franchise to the COM
pany before the admission of North
Dakota and that in being admitted, the
state had accepted the franchise with
all the then existing conditions. The
matter is n that will probably have
to be settled in court. and the state
board will probably stand upon the
section of the state constitution which
declares for the taxation of franchises.
Judge Cochrane of Grand Forks ad-
dressed the board this afternoon on the
taxation of elevator ompanies. Auditor
Weinrich of Morton county was among
those desiring to appear on the subject
of land taxation. The board SO far
has taken no final action on the assess
ment Of telegraph companies.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Routine business

a wax-is slowly poured from the

its watery elements by evaporation
and becomes admixedt with dust it
forms a thin layer iwaxlike in color

It is Interesting to observe that the
exit of this layer Of wax Is accom-
plished by nature chiefly with the aid
Of the motion communicated to the

in chewing and talking, a motion read
lily felt by touching the orifce with
the finger tip during these processes.
The constant increase Of the secretion

This explanation serves to make
clear why the use Of ear spoons, pins
or hairpins is unnecessary. The use
Of such objects is not only superfu-
GUS, but it is often the. cause of the
very condition which those who use
them would prevent. +
Even too vigorous washing with a
twisted cloth Dr. sponge, for example,
may result in pushing the wax back
into the canal until a mass sufficient
to block the entire opening is accumu-
lated.
The first Nintimation of the presence
of impacted wax is often the sudden
occurrence of a considerable degree of
deafness. This is most likely to hap

ing a bath. A slight amount Of pois-

the narrow chink previously existing
between the mass and the canal is

mass may shrink and the hearing pow

lost again when conditions arise caus.

Firm, gentle Swinging with warm
