 Arrange on a dish. Into the pan in wnicn you fried them put little stock, heat 1t and add truffies cut in small pieces. Over the sweetbreads put this sauce. Just little cayenne pepper and a few drops of lemon juice might reasonably be added to the sauce.
 In broiling sweetberads you might want them blanched first, then dipped In oil, saiteo and peppered bit and then brolleo.
 Sweetbreads and bacon get on beautifully together, too simple way for preparing them is to blanch them, fry In bacon fat and surround with thin slices of fried bacon. Inst a few slices of fried cucumbers used as n garnish for this dish make 1t a trlfie more acceptable perhaps.
 Sweetbreads, with mushrooms In combina- tions, are always a happy contrivance for appealing to those who Ike good things to eat. You may fry the sweetbreads and fry the fresh mushrooms also, If you like blend ing them together with bit of cream or you may broil both sweetbreads and mush- rooms and arrange them in pretty fashion on a dish. In either Instance, if you have a sure instinct for the using of wine in cook ing you may add with pleasurable results some white wine. THE EPICURE'

geiatinous preparations absolutely unfit for use. When artificial Ice is used care must be taken not 10 let fish come in contact with It, as the ammonia used in the freezing af- ffects the fish. Meat should never be laid directly on the ice, natural or artificial, as IL extracts all the good meat juices.
 Ice should always be washed and ,nid carefully In the ice box. not thrown In. Most housekeepers, contend from their own experience that ice wrapped in thick coat Ing Of newspapers lasts longer than when iett uncovered, but the manufacturers say l. shouid not be wrapped in anything, as that prevents the free circulation of cold air ihe inference is plain. If the saving in the Ice Dill Is the main object to be achieved, wrap the Ice. If, as In extremely hot weather, there is danger of the food spoil lng' uncover. One woman thinks sine has and top of her ice box with heavy blanket lined with newspapers.
 In getting Ice 1t is matter of economy to put Tn as large piece as possible at first, In order that the refrigerator may become thoroughly cooled, then keep full, or nearly so, as a small quantity of ice will melt much raster. In small icebox, twenty five pounds put In three times q week will last better than smaller piece put In daily In taking Ice from the refrigerator for table use no more should be picked of than Is needed on account of Its melting so much more rapidly. Covers and doors should al- ways be kept tightly closed Food must never be placed in the refrigerator until thoroughly cooled, as 1t occasions moisture Neither should food be kept In the refriger- ator without Ice and with cover and doors closed. Chemicals of any kind must be kept out of the icebox and all hooks should be heavily timed.
 Once week Is often enough to wash the refrigerator, If ordinary care Is given to the articles stored In 1t. Take everything from the interior. put the shelves In a large dishpan and wash in hot soap studs in which a pinch of soda has been dissolved. Rinse with cold water, wipe perfectly dry and put out doors in the sun to dry for an hour. Wash the sides of the refrigerator in the same way, using flexible wire for the drain pipe and skewers for the corners and grooves. Also pour warm water in the waste pipe to clear the slime that accum- ulates from the Ice.

No matter what form your sweetbreaas are to take at the instant of serving, the first thing to be done with them III eNsly case Is to put them to soak in colu "a'ei io about two hours. Then take them out alu boil for about five minutes in fresh water. Take them from the Dolhng Waee', i I.p .he them into cold water, and cut away all tn< winduipes and fbrous nerves. This opera- ton finished, you go about preparing tnem after any one of the following directions, or according to others which may please your fancy most.
 A dish that eminent authorities on the sub feet of cooking are pleased to call an atter- eaux of sweetbreads is delicious compound, and not very difficult of preparation. You boil the sweetbreads till tender, then when cool. you cut them up into slices. These slices sprinkle with pepper and salt, and fry in little butter. When you take them up nut on a slab to cool, putting light weight over them to press them Into shape Inen w,th round cutter cut them into rounus crt also some cold boiled beef tongue lnto rounds of the same size, and also soms

No sauce with these sxaetbread croquettes, and nothing to be served with them that can infringe upon their rights to the most distinguished con sideration.
 Some care very much for an addition or cnrry to sweetbreads, and particularly good way to add 1t is the following: Cut the sweetbreads Into dice shaped bits ana COOK s,It done In a little white stock-either that os chicken or veal. Cook with them an on,on too. and as they are about done take out the onion, leave only enough of the stock sa noisten them well and add the curry nox-der in the proper proportion Just few RR.a,,s of lemon juice may be added, too, and ths d,sh be the more pleasing to q good many.

You just cut same blanched sweetbreads Into rather sig able slices and fry till brown in butter.

Care Of the Refrigerator.

The refrigerator is one of the important household appanages for which the chate- laine must hold herself directly responsi- ble. Servants are prone to be phenomen-. ally careless in this respect, and refriger- ator in bad condition Is q menace to health. The position of the refrigerator Is i'm portant. It should not be kept In the eel lar or other damp location, but should always be placed where 1t can be well light ed and drained Never allow the drain pipe to connect with the sewer. A new refriger- ator should be allowed to stand from twelve to twenty-four hours after the ice chamber Is filled before any article of food is placed in 1t.
 In up to date houses there are separate refrigerators for milk and butter and meat, with stlll another compartment for fruit and vegetables. The vegetable and milk com partments are lined as well as shelved with heavy glass. Where one has no separated and Quarantined divisions neither fish, cheese, cabbage, onions, nor bananas should be kept in the general refrigerator. Their flavor will not only affect the other food, but will render the butter. milk and my

Reuben at the Fair.

Once upon time Reuben mounted his likely gray mare and went to the fair in an adjoining village, hoping that he might find an opportunity 10 make a horse trade that would be to his advantage.
 He met dapper. smooth-tongued man, with a high-stepping. showy horse, who in- vited him to dinner. As they ate they talked of the merits of their horses, and the dapper man finally agreed to make an even ex- change In consideration of the friendly feel ing that he had for Reuben.
 When Reuben got his high-stepping horse home and tried to put him to some practical use he found that he possessed most of the defects that horsefiesh is heir to.

the light costumes
 Light culored, mohair gowns are very smart this season, and indeed are rather smarter. than the white. They and the pongee are the best in the light color and in the rather lighter weight materials that can be worn In cool or warm days alike. The plan or the all one color Is again seen in these costumes and with the coat and skirt of mohalr or pongee Is worn silk waist of India SIX or of muslin as near as possible the color or the material of the costume. Made simply as are the coat and skirt, the only trimming is ih the stock collar and the pointed yoke of lace or embroidered linen and the turned over collar and cuffs.
 The changeable silk taffetas are also made in this style but are worn more by older women. There Is one shade of gun metal that Is very good, exceedingly hard to get and that Is very attractive for this sort of costume, but has the objection of not being always becoming, in which case. either white or black must be introduced into the trim ming to break the rather dull monotony of if. There are also narrow bands of black velvet with gilt buttons or of black braid with the same buttons that are put on mar row bands of white cloth These are in each seam and are used for revers and collar and in this way make the gown becoming.

Rates of water transportation are
necessarily open to the freest COMPETE
ton, are invariably low by comparison
and thus naturally furnish the stand
ard of rcasona bleness without express
regulation.
1t should be made unlawful to trans
port traffic by carriers subject to the
interstate commerce act at a less rate
than the published rate and all who
participate in violating the law should
be punished. Provision should also be
made to reach corporationh and COM
binationes which produce wholly with
in state but whose products enter in
to interstate commerce. This provision
should relate. first to concerns which
fatten on rebates, second to concerns
which sell commodities below the gem
eral price in particular localities or in
any other way in particular localities
seek to destroy competition.
There should be a comprehensive
plan to enable the government to get at
all the facts bearing upon the organ
ization and practices of concerns en-
gagged in interstate commerce, OF with
view to hampering and legitimate
business of such concerns but in order
to be in position to take action if neces-
sary.
To this end a commission or special
bureau in the proposed department of
commerce should be created, whose
duty it should be to investigate the
operations of concerns engaged in in
terstate or foreign commerce, to gather
information and data enabling it to
make recommendations for additional
legislation to report 10 the President.
This would be first step in securing
torneypfoper publicity. This commits
sion should have authority to inquire
into the management of any concern
doing an interstate business whenever
it becomes necessary or desirable; it
should have the authority to call for
tips from them, to compel testimony
from all witnesses and by the produc-
ton of books, papers, etc.
These recommendations are based on
the central thought that the first step
should be taken by Il law aimed at
what are certainly known to be I'M
reasona bic practices directly restrictive
of freedom of commerce and by a law
securing some governmental supervi-
sion as out lined above. A special act
should be passed at once to spend the
final decision of cases pending or to be
raised under the present antitrust law,
providing for the hearing of such cases
by a full bench of circuit judges and
for direct appeal from the circuit
courts to the supreme court of the
United States.
