New Recipes.

Don't be afraid to try new recipe
now and then. Provide sparingly of it
until 1t has been tested and approved
by the family; then add it to the list of

short is In the monotony of their bill Of
fare. Try something new occasionally.

returned to the basket and fell through
the net for 2 more points, or total of

Board of Finance Looking Up Money
 With Which To Do It.
 The board of finance met last night, Mayor Kilduff presiding, and after ap- proving the payrolls talked upon the subject of an extra tax. The ques- tion was brought up by the iltroduc- ton of communications from the board of safety and the board of public works asking for more money, the for mer $6, 800 and the latter $12,000. The board of public safety is short on ac- count of the trolley strike and the board of public works is not able to proceed further because it started out at the opening of the season with con- siderably less funds than were re quired to do the work ordered A committee consisting of City Clerk Ryan, Superintendent Kelley of the street department and Engineer Cairns showed work on the waiting list as follows: Aetna street, $500; Ashley street, S1,s0O; Baldwin and Mill streets, $500; Dublin street, $1,200; Edward street, $2,000: Farm street, $500; Fifth street, $500: Fourth street, $1,OOO; Lounsbury street $2,OO0; Pros pect street. $2,2OO; West Main street, $1,SO0; crosswalks $1,600; surveys, $1.O00; total. $16.9OO.
 It was voted to place the con1nsun1- cations on file and ask the comptroller to see if he can find any unappropri- ated revenues and report to the next meeting. so far as one could judge by what passed at the meeting there will be no special tax. MT McEvoy wanted to give the matter some con- sideration before deciding what he should do and MT Goss thought there was. nothing urgent in some of the cases to which attention had been called He didn't see why the Wa terbury Hotel Go could not build with reference to the new grade and let Prospect street remain as it is for the present He also thought there was no need of worrying about Dublin street. It has been in the present condition for the past fifteen years to his knowledge, and while it needed at tention he was of the opinion that Il would be hard to get the aldermen to authorize n special tax to raise money to do it with.
 The board adjourned for a week. -

My office is the place to get rents. Several new ones on hand.
 A man who represents New York real estate concern came into my office last Tuesday and wanted me to invest the occasional dollar I earn in a land improvement deal not million miles from Yonkers, N. Y. His arguments were convincing, but as I didn't have but 35 cents I couldn't invest. I then asked him: ''Mr Blank, if your scheme is going to make so much money for the working man who invests $10 or $2O, why didn't you get two or three rich New York men to buy up the whole tract of land and make millions in one bunch? Why do you come up here in Connecticut to sell such good property?" Moral: Buy your building lots and houses here in Waterbury.
