that this policy will be continued. Our
understanding Of the situation is that
the Seaboard stock is so held that no

that the system has such connections
and alliances that it can maintain It
self perpetually, regardless Of the dis
position or the policies of all other

it has never before known. The east

Tips For the Cook.

In baking bread it is better to over.
do rather than underdo the work.
To make good digestible pie crust
use cream instead of lard, and it will
be light and healthful.
If there is not batter enough to fill
the gem pan, put cold water in the
empty space before setting the pan in
the oven.
The rich cheeses, which have the
largest percentage of fat, are those
which blend well with bread in sand
wiches or with macaroni or rice.
For a quick cake beat until thicl,
four eggs. Add four tablespoonfuls of
sugar, half cup of flour. little Gin.
namon and lemon rind. Beat well and
spread on baking pan. Bake in quick
oven and cut out at once.
Sweet potatoes are much richer twice
cooked. Baked or boiled merely, this
vegetable is good, but when the baking
or boiling is followed by subsequent
cooking in the pan or in the oven they
are far better.
A fine cheese pudding is made by
grating five ounces of bread and three
of cheese. Warm two ounces of butter
in quarter of pint of fresh milk and
mix thoroughly. Add two well-beaten
eggs, salt and bake half an hour

Ways of Cooking Beef,

The homely bill of fare may be In
definitely varied when beef is used.
Beef is the staple meat in most house
holds because Of it's supposed nourish.
ing qualities. These recipes will bring
out all the best favors Of the meat:
Grilled Beef-Cut some beef in half
inch slices. Dip each in melted butter
or olive oil and broil quickly over a
clear fire. In a small saucepan put
two tablespoonfuls of hot water, two
tablespoonfuls Of butter, one table,
spoonful each of tomato and worcester
sauces, pinch of salt and pepper one
half teaspoonful of made mustard, a
little juice from an onion and one or
two drops of lemon juice or vinegar.
Dip each slice of meat In this. Serve
on toast and pour the remainder of
the sauce over each.
Beef Patties-Take underdone beef,
one onion, pepper and salt, some pie
crust. Cut the meat into small square
pieces, chop the onion finely and mix
with the meat, adding salt and pepper.
Roll the crust rather thinly, cut it in
rounds with small saucer; put little
OF the chopped meat on one half, fold
the other over and pinch the edges
together. Fry the pattles in hot lard
till q nice brown or bake them in a
good oven; time, about twenty minutes.

cleaning is apt to do more damage than

wife wears out her rugs by continual

putting them upon a line every two
weeks, or even once month, and there
having them whipped, is not to be

BARHAM GETS LEAVE.
He Will Be Absent From the State
for Sixty Days.

CALL HEADQUARTERS. SACRA-
MENTO. Jan. 24.-Guy Barham of Los
Angeles, the newly appointed Bank Com
missioner, has been granted sixty days
leave of absence from the State by Gov
ernor Pardee. Governor Pardee notified
him to-day. Although there is bill to
abolish the Board of Bank Commission
ers, it has been officially stated that Bar
ham and Colonel Jack Wright of Sacra-
mento will be reappointed on the new
board, which will be provided for by
bill that will be introduced by the Com
mittee on Banks and Banking.
The abolition of the board will have the
effect of depriving Dan Kevane of his pO-
sition. Ex-Governor Cages pet appointee
was actually a resident of Sacramento.
but in order to be eligible as a Bank
Commissioner he changed his residence. 1t
is impossible for two Bank Commissioners
to come from the same county, and as
Kevane and Wright lived and voted in
this county il was necessary for Kevane
to find another place of residence.
