What to Eat

In selecting a lobster prefer a small,
heavy crustacean to a large one, for its
age is indicated by the proportions. The
creature is killed before boiling by running
sharp-pointed knife Just between the body
and tail shells. There is no excuse for the
tnhumanity that would plunge a live lob
ster into the boiling water. The following
are unusual ways Of cooking Holsters.
Scalloped lobster.-This dish may be made
with timed lobster as follows: Butter a
shallow tin and strew over 1t a layer of
fine breadcrumbs. Remove the lobster from
the tin, drain away all moisture Mince
and season well with cayenne salt and
lemon juice. Spread over with bread
crumbs and put in the tin. Strew thick
layer Of the crumbs on the top and place
little Jumps Of butter over all. Bake in a
quick oven for a quarter Of an hour and

Matinees and Teas.

And now a return to them. Most charm
ing are the matinees and tea jackets made
of the new Shantung pongees, which are
now appearing in the richest colors. A
dim shade of old rose, Venetian red, tapes
try blue and Chinese green are the most
effective colors in these silky textiles. Yel-
lowed laces trim them handsomely, even
the cheapest varieties contributing some
thing of a luxurious air and combining
beautifully with black velvet ribbons.
On a tea gown of ivory white Shantung

A plain, limp skirt that trained slightly,
and a lace trimmed jacket with a round
Puritan collar composed the model of the

A Few Marketing Rules.

There are few rules to remember in
buying beef, mutton or poultry which the
inexperienced housekeeper does well to
bear in mind. To test beef, press it down
with the thumb. If it rises quickly the
meat is good.
Beef should be fine grained of a bright
red color, with streaks of clean. white
looking fat. The meat will be tough un-
less there Is plenty of fat.
Mutton should be dark colored with the
fat a clear white.
Veal should be fat
Soup meat should have as little fat as
possible, and come from the round; and
also meat intended for beef tea.
In buying fish, the gills should be red
Poultry should have smooth legs and
short spurs, with the feet bending easily
and the eyes bright. If the fowl has be-
gun to turn blue it is not good.
Grouse and quail both have white flesh;
the pfnnated grouse, however, has dark
flesh. Birds with white meat take about
ten minutes longer to cook than those with
dark meat.

Park Illness.

New York Corr. of the Pittsburg Dispatch
Park illness, new disease. is puzzling the
physicians The first to call attention to it
is DIR. Goldsmith of the park ambulance
system. The doctor blames it on tight
lacing. He says women come to the parks
laced as tightly as they can draw up their
corset strings. Then they walk and walk
and get over a great deal OF ground in the
unfamiliar park paths. with no street in
tersections to guide them on distances.
They walk more rapidly than usual, too,
and they drink lemonade or buttermilk-
perhaps beer. Compression Of the blood
below the waist follows. The brain be-
comes affected, and suddenly the tightly
laced woman is seized with syncope Out
of 900 ambulance calls answered last sum-
mer in the park the doctor attributes 400
to what he calls park Illness" He also
thinks that in the case Of the poorer people

tenement to the pure balsam of the park

on one in faded pink. Never were colors
more beautifully blended.
Two shirts on the same model for ordi-
nary wear were made of pink and blue
striped flannel, with bias borders of plain
color taffeta. They were all vastly becom-
ing.
Another fetching detail Of this trousseau
was boX-pleated bodice of azure mousse
line, with a deep yoke of lace in the same
color This extended over the sleeves in a
tight shoulder cap; elbow puffs of the NOUS

the hips a lace band, repeated by one In

Announcement Fees.

The fees that have been charged
10 announce candidates for State
office. no doubt, will suffer con-
siderable reduction in the APP
preaching campaign. The pri-
mary election law provides that
candidates for State and County
office shall fare alike in assess
ments by the executive commit
tees. 1t might be determined on
equally equitable grounds to
charge state and county candidates
alike for their announcements.
However. this Is matter which
each paper has the inherent right
to adjust for itself. The announce
ment fees throughout the state
should be uniform and considerate,
both OF the press and the candi-
dates. For This reason, a modest
discussion of the matter would be
timely and satisfying. 1t IS not
out Of place to say just here that
suggestions from the outside can
be dispensed with. The press
knows what its space and service
are worth and has never been
guilty Of extOrtion. 1t should,
therefore, consider this matter,
which is now squarely up to it,
and let the aspiring gentlemen for
state office know what announce
ments Will cost them. 1t is right
that state candidates should pay
as much for their announcements
as county candidates. The sug-
gestion contained in the Mississip- |
pi department of the Commercial |
Appeal Mondays issue) intima-
ting that candidates for state office
pay y for their announcements is
out Of the question and would I
beggar the ne Nspaper business.
No fair minded paper would
charge a county candidate more
for an announcement tia an it would
a state candidate. This being true,
would pay little
more for the space they would oc-
cupy than the most ordinary ad-
verrising matter The Mississip-
pi Bureaus of Memphis and New
Orleans daiIies should be careful
about debating what space and
service are worth in Mississippi
newspapers. The proprietors of
these organs can adjust that mat
equitably and to the satisfaction
of their patrons.
