SPAGHETTI WITH GRAVY.

When the housekeeper does not wish
to cook beef especially for her dish of
macaroni. almost any kind of leftover
meat with it's gravy will do. provided the
housewives brains go with the combna-
ton. Chicken or any leftover bits of
game are especially delicious. Start the
preparation for the gravy as before. Put
oil or butter in a frying pan, add onions
or two or three cloves of garlic, and
brown. If one has on hand some dried
mushrooms (and by the way, a package
of these, which may he bought at any
Italian or Chinese grocery store for a
very small sum, will be found a most
acceptable addition to the store room

The springs of red blood are

some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.

DEATH OF AN AGED RESIDENT.

DEATH OF AN AGED RESIDENT.
 Mary Meeker Merwin, widow of the late M. M. Merwin, died at her home on Merwin'S Lane, Thursday, July g, at the age of 82 years and three months. She has been more or less an invalid for many years, but has, except for brief intervals, been able to attend to her household duties. Abouta week ago she was stricken with a severe form of intestinal: trouble from which it be- came evident to her friends that she would prove too weak to rally. Her physician had succeeded in ameliorat- ing hers condition, however, when in- flamation set in, followed by immedi- ate and final dissolution. Mrs Mer- win was one whose lovable nature en- deared her to all with whom she came in contact. sQuiet and retiring and fond of home life she mingled but little in the realms of society. Her devotion to her friends and unfeigned kindness toward everyone will cause her to be remembered with loving respect for years to come. She has been mem- Der of the Congregational church for nearly 50 years. About 60 years ago she married Maurice. M. Merwin. whose death occurred last December. Their union was blessed by one son who died in 1898. One granddaughter, Mrs s. B. Lobdell, and one greatgrand- child are the only surviving members , of her family. The funeral took place Sunday, from her late home, at 2:30 p. m., Rev w. H. Cane of the. COngre- gational church officiated. Inter-
 ment was in Oaklawn cemetery.
