Delicious Recipes.

Sailed ALMONDS OR PEANUTs.-Shell
the nuts and blanch them by covering
first with boiling water for two or three
minutes, then plunging into cold water.
The skins can then be easily slipped of
with the finger. Don't let the nuts re-
main long in water or they will taste
water soaked. Better to give them a
second plunge if necessary. Spread the
nuts to dry and place them in hot drip
ping pan with a good piece of butter,
stir gently on top Of the stove until we'll
covered with butter, then place in the
oven to brown, taking care to remove
them before they get too dark. As soon
as they are taken from the oven sprinkle
thoroughly with fine dry salt, and place
in colander or on dry towel that all
surplus butter may drain off.
PEACH MoUssE.-To one pint of sweet
whipped cream add one cup of sugar and
one can of peaches cut into small pieces;
add also quarter of a box of gelatin
dissolved In as little water as possible,
beat well, then put in mould, pack in
salt and ice two and one-half hours; cut
and serve as ice cream.-McCalrs Maya

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. Aug. 25.-Having apparently
succeeded in warding on an extra session
of Congress as early as October, the lead
ers Of the Republican party are now con-
centrating their efforts to prevail on the
President not to call an extra session at
all.
In addition to this and In view Of the
hopelessness Of financial legislation in time
to do any material good. members OF the
Cabinet and important Senators have al
ready advised the President not to make
in his forthcoming message any recon-
mendation for financial legislation as a
remedy for present or future Ills!
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. Senator
Platt Of New York and possibly Senator
Hanna of Ohio are unalterably opposed to
any extra session. and, il the President
should seek the advice of these men. he
will be strongly urged against calling it.

Among those opposed to any financial rec

Shaw himself, who does not think 1t wise
to call prominently to public attention that
there is necessity in the business situation
for any emergency legislation.
1t is thought altogether improbable that
the party leaders will be able to induce the
President to refrain from his November
session programme. The leaders, however.
will bring forward the argument that while
two reasons were sufficient to call an extra

of them has disappeared, 1t would be IN
