Sisters of the column, think what your
Aunt Madge has gained through the open
ing of the column. How many new
friendships we have all formedl
have been.thinking of the busy house
wives and especially of the young house
keepers at this warm season of the year.
1t requires such an effort for many of
them when the haying season is '.on", to
prepare the meals which must sometimes
be delayed and sometimes be hurried onto
the table. Then many have to depend
upon the resources of the farm ana there
is thought and time required to plan and
execute.
1t seems to me there are some readers of
the column who are in these circumstan-
ces, and have wished this geek in think
ing what could fill the column that
would be helpful that could give some
hint or suggestion to just this class.
Do you ever bake peas instead of stew
ing them or making pea soup, ifyou pre-
fer calling it by the latter name? You can
parboil the peas little, and if they seem
quite hard add little soda TO the water,
piece of pork and as much water as you
would add TO beans, taking care to keep
the supply good. Bake these some day
when you are ironing or obliged to keep
fire.
Keep some cans of salmon on hand, il
you haven't time to make, or do not care
for salad, fry the salmon brown in butter
and have it with potatoes, and if you can
have them, green peas. With bread
crumbs or rolled crackers make scaIIoped
salmon, placing layers of each with the
top layer crumbs; putting pieces of butter
and a little pepper on the layers and filing
the dish with sweet milk. 1t will bake in
half or three quarters, but is one OF the
dishes that can wait without hurting it,
and is good warmed over.
Have scalloped potatoes. Slice potatoes
raw, put a thick layer in and put pieces of
butter and a sprinkling of pepper and
salt; fill the dish nearly full, then turn in
sweet smilk to come up to the top of
the potatoes; bake a number of hours.
This dish can be prepared in the morn
ing. Make omelette-a good many like
bread omelette. Fill cup of bread
broken up, with sweet milk, let it soak a
little while, then add beaten egg to it
and fry in butter. Make more in same
proportion-goo for breakfast.
All these dishes are quite inexpensive
and easily prepared. Now think ahead

S1.00 DAMAGES

Robt. Lass was tried in municipal
court Thursday and Friday on a charge
preferred by his neighbor, John Raasch.
1t appears that Damon and Pythias
love has not existed between the two
for several moons and Lass attempted
to exclude his neighbours company by
building high board fence between
the two, which, as Raasch claimed, ex-
cluded old Sol's beams from the latters
windows and disturbed his family's
peace of mind and made the house I'M
pleasant and unhealthy. He brought
suit for 5000 damages and a jury COM
posed Of the following, sat on the case:
Fred Blume, John Barden, Geo Forcey,
Robt. Kuhlman, Henry Ziebell, Ii.
Hardell, John Buelels, Frank Young,
Chas Bronson VIM. Welch, Geo Bart
lett and VIM. Zingler.
The jury Visited the premises and
viewed the fence and then testimony
was taken and arguments made. The
jury, in its deliberations, decided that
Raesch was entitled to some considera-
tions, and fixed the amount of damages
at 81 90, which decision of course also
throws the costs of action on Mr.. Laas.

SERIOUS CHARGE.

Aug Maibach, a west side barber, is
having an examination in Justice
Clarke's court this afternoon to answer
to a charge preferred by Martha Giese,
a girl of eighteen. Miss Giese's parents
live at Edgar, but lately she had been
visiting friends at Oconomowoc. Learn
ing that her sister was dangerously i'll
in hospital here she started home and
arrived here Thursday evening. She
says she met Maibach and enquired the
way to the hospital. He escorted her
there, carrying her valise for her. At
the hospital she was informed that it
being late she could not see her sister
until next morning, and she then decid-
ed to go home. She went to the depot
to wait for the west bound train and
fell asleep in a chair. She says Maibach
came into the depot, awoke her and in
vited her out. She accompanied
him and when near the end of
the railroad bridge she alleges
that he attempted a criminal assault
and failing in this, snatched her pocket
book and ran. The pocket book con-
tanned all the money she had, Sc 25, and
a ticket to her home. She reported the
matter to the depot employees, who in
turn reported it to the police and
Maibachs arrest followed. He admits
going as far as the hospital with her,
so we are told, but says that was the last
he saw of her. After the robbery the
young woman sat in the depot the bal
ance of the night and the following
morning went home.

RECRUITING OFFICE.

Thos. l. Holt, recruiting officer of the
United States army service, has opened
a recruiting office in Wausau and ex-
poets to remain here several months.
His territory covers all the east portion
of Wisconsin west as far as Marshfield
and nearly all of Northern Michigan.
This district is at present under the
super vision of Maj. John G.. White, re-
tired, who VIII later VISIT Wausau.
Mr.. Holt is taking enlistments for coast
and field artillery, infantry, cavalry
and the signal, hospital and engineers
corps. Enlistments for the coast
artillery and cavalry go to jefferson
barracks at st. Louis; those for the
field artillery and infantry go to the
Columbus, o., barracks and men enlist
ing in the signal, hospital and engineers
corps viii be sent to Fl Meyer, Va.
Mr.. Holt has been in the recruiting
service one year and five months and
has secured 102 recruits in that time.
Heretofore the requirements for getting
into the army service have been very
strict but it is expected that these will
be lessened in the near future so that
more soldiers can be secured. This
year terms of enlistment of about 90
coo soldiers will expire and there viii
be greater activity to secure recruits.
Applicants classifying their age or max
ing false answers to any other questions
are subject to dismissal from the SER
vice and Imprisonment. Criminals
joining the army to escape civil pun
ishment are no longer immune from
such punishment. The government
gives such men a dishonorable dis
charge and turns them over to the
civil authorities
