THE SIN OF sTUFFINEss.
Pertinent Words Concerning Our
overheated Houses and Remedies
Suggested for This Weakness.

The two things that strike visitors
from the west and south Of Europe
most unpleasantly in the habits OF
Americans, at least those living in the
northern states, are the overheating
Of houses and the oyercooling of stom-
achs. If they arrive in summer they
may become converts In time to the
ice-water habit, but they never cease
complaining of the hot and stuffy
rooms In winter And there is, indeed,
nothing to be said in extenuation OF
this custom.
In summer there is complaint OF the
temperature when the mercury rises
much above 80 degrees Thick fan
nels are discarded and the lightest OF
outer garments donned. Iced drinks
are made and electric fans set going
and people wonder if the intolerable
heat will ever moderate But In win
ter the same persons bundle up in
woolen and heavy outer garments,
and sit all day and sleep all night in
an atmosphere between so and 80 de-
grees-and see nothing inconsistent
in it,
The practice is absurdly inconsistent
as we'll as harmful. 1t is excused on the
ground that one cannot sit and shiyer IN
cold rooms all day long, and many per-
sons are fond of saying that while ther-
mometer may be piece of scientific ap-
paratus and an instrument OF precision,
its readings do not appeal to our feelings
with anything like the emphasis OF the
nerves.
If the atmosphere of the room must be
heated to S5 degrees before one feels
comfortable then up to S5 degrees 1t
must go. But it is forgotten that such
course is only preparing oneself for still
greater suffering, for when one goes out
into the cold with an overheated body
and damp undergarments one feels the
change most bitterly, and is also in ex-
cellent condition for the chill that pre-
pares the way for catarrh or pneumonia.
The blame for overheated houses rests
partly on the American people and part
iy on the mode of heating. If persons
would stir themselves, go out every day,
no matter what the temperature or the
weather, for brisk walk, or take cool
or cold sponge or plunge bath every
morning, take an air bath every morn
ing or evening, eat well but temperately,
and sleep with open windows, theme
of the skin would soon begin to act more
in keeping with the thermometer. Then
If water be kept In shallow vessels on
every heater or by every register in the
house, so as to moderate the extreme
dryness Of the air of the artifcially heat
ed house, a lower temperature would no
longer seem uncomfortable Youths

New Uses for Electricity.

1t is a French engineer who seriously
announces his invention Of suit OF cleo
tric clothing, with fine wire woven in
the goods and a storage battery. BY
means of this invention he attirms that
the body can be kept in comfortable
temperature in the coldest weather.
There is no apparent reason why we
should stop with this. Little If any cur
rent would be needed to produce light
such as persons on the vaudeville stage
display. Thus every pedestrian at
night would become walking lamp
post, with electric force enough to shock
an inebriate who might wish to cling
to him. 1t would be practicable, too,
for an American inventor to connect the
current with roller skates, thus allow
ing every man to be his own trolley car

GOOD HOT SUPPER DISHES
Some Practical Recipes for Toothsome
Made-Dishes for the Perplex-
ing Evening Meal.

Escalloped Potatoes: Nearly every
one who happens to eat with us when
this dish is served. tells me it is the best
that they have ever eaten, and asks me
how to prepare it. Probably my recipe
varies but little from the ones generally
used, but the secret lies in the cooking.
l slice the required amount Of raw pota-
toes in deep earthenware dish Ga bean
pot is excellent), seasoning well with
onion, salt, butter and little pepper,
and adding enough milk to cover well.
never allow less than four hours for
cooking; a longer time improves 1t. Have
the oven hot at first until it gets to cook
ing, then moderate the heat. Cover If
necessary, to keep the top from becom-
ing too brown.
Meat Escalloped with Tomatoes: An
excellent way or using IeII overs, pieces
of bread and scraps of beef, either
steak. roast or boiled. Chop the meat
finely and mix with bread crumbs in the
proportion of one cupful meat, two cup
fuls bread. Add one cupful tomatoes,
raw or stewed, butter the size of an egg,
salt and pepper to taste Add enough
hot water to thoroughly moisten. Put
into a buttered baking dish in which 1t
may be served. Cover with layer OF
bread crumbs dotted with butter. Bake
until Drowned.
These proportions may be made quite
elastic, according to the amount of meat
at hand. If smaller amount is used in
crease the amount of tomato and be sure
that it is seasoned well.-American Ag-

The vegetable should, Of course, be
skinned. and, with the exception Of to-
matoes, boiled until tender, but not
broken. Drain, cool, and at serving
time fiji with a salad and serve each on
bed Of parsley, cress or lettuce leaf.
Sometimes apples are used for this pur-
pose, and are nice for rich compete
or melange Of fruit popularity called a
salad. In using apples for cups" scoop
out the inside, leaving a wall about half
an inch thick. They may be partly
cooked OF not, according to the form Of
salad they contain. A melange Of fruit
in apple cases or cups should be served
with cream. When tomatoes are used
for cups hold each tomato in boiling
water an instant to loosen the skin.
then scoop out TIE inside, leaving thick

day looking over the new offices of

the st. Paul Offices Mr. Jerome said
that the work of reorganizing the sys-

he understood that as far as the pas

the most radical of the changes had
already been made.
The new Seattle offices of the New
York Central lines" said Mr.. Jerome,
will not be opened Immediately, as
was planned. In fact, they may not
be installed until the middle of sum-
mer on account of the difficulty we
are experiencing in getting adequate
quarters. 1t is necessary for the sys-
tenn to have prominent location on
a good street, and as some obstacle
intervened in getting the location we
desired, the whole matter has gone
over rather indefinitely"
City passenger offices of the New
York Central system are being estab-
lfshed in many of the Western cities
OF the country. The latest of these is
the one in Kansas City.
