FOR THE DAY OF CAKES,
Manly Wisdom ON the Management
of u SOapstOne Grtddle.

!
of u SOapstOne Gridd1e.
The soapstone griddle is one of the
easiest Of griddles to manage and one
| no housekeeper should be without If
she desires to surpass in the art of
griddlecakes.
| Many hOusekeepers have heard of the
difficulties attendant upon soapstone
griddle and thus have been discouraged
from buying one, but these difficulties
are purely imaginary. Once you know
how to manage your griddle you will
never eat the grease soaked, heavy
things you once called cakes.
Now, the secret of the soapstone
griddle is to have it hot, not what you
may call hot, but really hot
Put the griddle inside of your stove
or range the night before, this pre-
caution that you may not forget it in
the rush Of the morning meals, so that
it will get the very first heat your fire
gives out.
When you need your oven for baking
put the griddle on top of the stove.
BY the time you are ready to cook
cakes you will have a griddle that will
cook Immediately and will be light and
spongy.
Above all things do not grease your
griddle. Therein lies its charm.
Soapstone being porous, the grease
soaks in, and the mess you will make
Of the whole business will indeed be
discouraging.
II your griddle has already become
grease soaked by some uninterested
cook or through your own ignorance
take chisel and scrape of, the upper
surface.
The soapstone, being soft, will move
easily; afterward wash thoroughly.
and you have restored your griddle to
its pristine glory.
The price often holds one back from
buying what one considers luxury,
but the saving Of fat which must be
used on other griddles will in time
pay for the soapstone one, and the de-
liciousness Of the cakes will reward
you time after time for any sacrifice
made to obtain it.
One great care, however, must be
taken-do not drop your griddle, as the
disaster to soapstone is without rem
edy. 1t breaks easily because of it's

nitude of this? A. I don't think it i.
customary.
Q. Then you don't remember whether
the contractors brought you these spe.
cifications when the contract was
signed, or the city clerk or city attor.
ney? A. No sir. l could not swear as
to which one. Have never talked with
either about the matter, and could not
say which one. 1t was one or the other
At the time this contract was signed
it was signed either in the city clerks
or city attorneys Office.
Q. Did you know at that time where
copy of the original specifications
was that you could have access to. if
you wished to look it upo A. Well. l
didn't look at it as necessary: 1 sup
pose they We're in the engineers of
fee I did have the original manu-
script, but it disappeared
Q. You don't know what became of
that manuscript? A. No sir, / had
that in the absence of any typewriter
copy and went and got it to let party
read over who thought of bidding on
the work. and now whether 1 took it
back or not l don't know.
Q. You don't know, Mr.. Skinner, of
oh
the time the last bids were received and
the contract let; that is any general
change that would affect the plans? A.
I do not remember
Q. If the city engineer was going to
make any important change he would
first consult with the city council,
would he not? A. think he would.
@. In such changes as changing
those laterals and saving expense to
the contractors, and also in the matter
of the tunneling. he would consult the
council? A. think so.
BY Mr.. Kjos.
Q. After bids were made on these
specifications were there, to your
knowledge, any changes talked of by
the council? A. don't remember OF
any changes being talked Of; that is,
nothing Of any Importance. The at
tention Of the council might have been
called to some little discrepancy, but no
important changes.
@. Don't you think 1t would have
hardly been right after the bids were
received and contract accepted to have
changed the plans? A. No. not any
changes Of any consequence. but
mean II any changes were made it was
simply something left open for decision
later on: that IL what I meant by any
slight change.
O. No general change that would af-

The Press Fair Sex.

The daintiest features of dresses
made in diaphanous materials for af-
ternoon and evening wear are their
girdles, sashes and other waist trim
mings. These have never been so
varied and delightfully."- chic as this
season. Dresden and Vatican ribbons
are mostly used. Stout figures look well
in the corsage bands that support the
figure while curving into lines that
often lend grace and comeliness where
there is none. Sylph-likt forms re-
curing perfect freedom with certain
air of abandon for their greatest effect
are held in slightly with soft belts
1t is no longer the smart thing to tie
a belt in a bow at the back, neither are
long streamers worn. The Ascot sash
is the newest creation and very pretty.
1t consists of band of Dresden or
Watteau ribbon brought around the
waist and tied in a four-in-hand knot
at the back Instead Of hanging
straight and stiff, the ends Of the rib
bon are pinched up and finished with
silk tasses or looped through embroid-
cred silk rings.
There is no dimunition of the shall
craze and pelerines made OF camel's
hair or embroidered silk shawls arc CON
sidered very desirable to include in
ones wardrobe. The quaintest of these
draperies are finished with Melted
fringcs. Oftentimes two shawls are
used to trim one decolletage, one on
each shoulder. The painted ends cross
ing back and front and lucking into a
primly plated high Girdlc.

DO YOU DANCE TIE "TwILIaHT"7

Georgia Stone says she doesn't
dance the twilight" This is de-
cided relief; but The Press personally
hadn't the slightest idea that Georgia
danced the twilight" What Is more,
she won't even recommend it to the
next convention of national dancing
masters. The twilight waltz" has
charms peculiarly it's own. The Press
confesses to touching only on the
outer edge. The twilight" must be
seen to be appreciated. The Press
still insists that the twilight" should
make Spokane famous. Once the news
goes over the high hills the inter-
mountain country will go crazy over
the twilight" then. on toward wick
ed Denver; then, on to Toledo; then,
through ontario; and, finally, to New
York city, where the Bowery will
stand aghast, saying, What de II has
we bin tinkin', all dist tonne, ter let
de western bloiks git ahead of us dis
way?" We haven't the slightest doubt
that Tom Roberts, the originator Of
the twilight" will one day divide
international honors.

RICH MEN ARE

Croesus, the John D. Rockefeller of

however, and some of them were full

ing OF Scion, the Sage. lie finally had
to flee his kingdom for parts unknown.
Many of the rich mans troubles to-
day come from high living and could
be avoided. They are brought on by
eating all kinds of rich, heavy foods at
irregular times, lack of proper exercise,
undue mental strain, unnatural stimu-
lants, ETC., dyspepsia and weak stomach
They are serious troubles all right,
but not only can they be avoided but
can also be cured, and that without
loss of time or proper food and nourish-
ment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
certain relief of dyspeptics, rich and
poor alike. There is no such thing rs
stopping their onward progress now.
A great nation has placed its stamp
approval upon their noble work. The
thousands and thousands of cures they
have effected and the happiness re-
sulting therefrom have made their
name household word throughout the
land.
The story of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets can be told in a word. They
actually do the work that the weak
and wasted stomach is unable to do
and allow it to recuperate and regain
its strength. They contain all the es-
sential properties that the gastric juice
and other digestive fluids do, and they
digest the food just as q sound and
well stomach would They relieve the
stomach just as one rested and refresh.

ENOUGH FOR A KINGDOM.

TFrom the West Coast Trade Annual.
East and west the state of Wash

rolls the Oregon" 1t has an area
OF 69.994 square miles, or 44,796,1 60
acres, larger than all of the New Eng

bined This great state is an empire
within itself containing, or capable
of producing, all that Is needful for
the support or comfort of mankind
If Washington was completely land
locked, instead of being, as it happily
is. blessed with more than 1000 miles
foremost place among the greatest
states of America. The natural re-
sources locked in its mountain
breasts or buried in Its endless fertile
soil are so vast and varied that no
meaner position could ever be posi-

the rapid strides to the forefront dur

E1GHrY-THREE CENTS A DAY!

There are assistants in the public
library at the rate of SO cents a day.
Heretofore, it has been a policy of
newspapers, in this city. to suppress
this sort of talk under the plea that
publicity is a bad thing. 1t is-for
some of the politicians. The Press is
confident that save a few political
roustabouts who draw their backing
from the slum element, no one en-
dorses the miserable wage scale in
the library. To keep silent is much
the same as continuing to feed a
man on morphine, to make him for
get his troubles. under the crazy plea
that ut will do him good" Spokane
has been given conscience knockout
drops too long already by her slum-
politicians.
