THE BEST FROM CEREALS.
Proper Methods of Cooking and serv-
ing and Dishes That Can Be Pre-
pared from Left-Overs.

Our oatmeal is always cooked the
afternoon before, and as this is the n
cereal rather the better for r~eheating.
we often prepare twice the quantity
needed for our small family. Before
putting on the stove a second time stir
1t clear of the saucepan. 1t will clean
off freely, and a little water will usu-
ally keep 1t from again cooking on.
We have given up the use of the
rather expensive and bothersome dou-
BILE boiler and cook all cereals in an open
saucepan set on an asbestos mat. After
the first boiling and stirring is owe 1t
can be left covered on a cooler part Of
the range to expand under slow cooking.
The cook should practice till by rapid
stirring over all parts of the receptacle
and an accompanying shaking of the dry
cereal into the boiling water, she can
insure a smooth blending.
Some of the darker and more glutin-
Gus cereals car be best managed Ey
drawing the saucepan to the back of the
range and seeing that the mixture is
thoroughly blended before rapid boiling
begins. We find that using a dark and
light colored cereal In equal parts makes
a variety very acceptable, combining the
good qualities of both. To use always a
pale cereal seems TO be sighting those
portions of the grain we wish to incor-
porate in our fare, yet In many house
holds the nearer the approach to fine
white four the more approved the prep
aration.
1t is a pity that into our simplifying
of the breakfast and increasing use OF
whole grain we have carried the sugar
habit. A suitable amount of sugar is
of advantage to the system, but mothers
do well who never teach nor allow their
children to learn the taste of a MORN
ing meal smothered in sugar. Some
adults find a sprinkling of salt r%econciles
them TO a sugarless cereal.
II the cook will add the proper guam
tity of salt before cooking, taking 1t up
on her dry spoon after measuring out
the cereal. she will see exactly how
much is used and be more likely to sea.
son the breakfast dish always exactly
right.
What makes a more tasty lunch or
addition to the last meal of the day, than
a cold cereal cut in slices, fried a golden
brown and served smoking hot? For this
cook rather stiffer than for immediate
use and pack while warm into molds
rinsed in cold water. Any slanting sided
receptacle will do for the mold. Jelly
glasses or the larger glasses in which
some brands OF smoked beef are bought
give neat. round slices. A clean tin beet
can also is suitable. Let stand till cold
and firm. Turn out on a Toured plate
and dredge the slices well before frying,

FOR A SHORTER SKIRT.

Trailing Skirts and Hanging
Them Uncleaned in Closet.

In the educational crusade against

illinois Medical society some attention
should be given to prevailing fashions
in woman's dress, says the Chicago Jour

The street dress which sweeps the
sidewalk is a death-breeder. II the
wearer of this dress went out deliberate

I: Golfers for April 30 quotes a pro-
fessor at the Tuskegee Agricultural
Experiment Station as saying: II
have here seven samples of bran. To
most OF you they look alike. The price
paid for each was probably about S22
n ton, and yet one sample is nearly
half sawdust. If you want sawdust
with your bran, We can give it to you
at much less that So a ton. You
wonder why your cattle are not salts
fed with the food, why they fail to
yield the milk and butter which you
have Il right to expect. Here is the
reason. Another sample, according
to Golfers, contained a large pro-
portion of ground corncob. AS corncob
and sawdust happen to be less nourish-
ing than bran to an ordinary COW, this
device for making profit may turn the
scale against a farmer just enough to
deprive him of his living. Some peo-
pie object to the crusade now being
worked up against adulterated food,

say, that adulterants are rs whole

BOY R0PED A CAR
BUT IS WISER NOW

Armed with section of his mother g
clothesline David Morrill,, a 12-year-old
lad, went out to lasso street cars today.
Selecting a likely-looking hunting
ground in front of the Berkeley hotel,
First avenue S and Thirteenth street,
he began to toss his rope at the head
lights of passing cars. .a... -.
His experience was somewhat similar
to that Of the cowpuncher of 1849 who
went out with his lariat, to put the rail
roads out of business by lassoing en-
gines and pulling them off the track
Young Davy finally made good toss
and roped a headlight on a swiftly
moving car. Unfortunately he had
taken the precaution to tie one end of
the lasso to his wrist, thereby bringing
grief in large hunks upon himself. He
braced back for the pull, but the cal
refused to stop and the lad was ierked
off his feet and dragged about forty
feet. The motorman had seen the pos
sibilities Of the young man 8 trick and
fortunately was able to make quick
stop. The lad was carried to his home

that his injuries were confined to few

.RINKER IS READY
FOR BRIDGE WORK
TO WIDEN ROADWAY ON WASH.
INGTON AVE. STRUCTURE.
Thorofare at Present Monopolized by
the Trolley Lines Money Available
for the Work Thru Bond Sales-Idea
of Raising the Roadway Abandoned
on Protest Of Property Owners.

City Engineer Andrew Rinker an
nounced today that the long-contem-
plated enterprise Of widening the Wash
ington avenue bridge would be under
taken next winter. He is now revising
the plans which had been kept in the
office turnout the numerous movements
TOR charging the structure. There will
there are a number Of bridge bonds still
unsold of the issue which supplied
funds for the erection of the Thirty
second avenue north bridge. The I'M
sold remainder amounts to $4,000,
which will be more than enough to
| cover the expense.
This bridge, altho one Of the most
wide, having roadway of eighteen
feet and two six-foot sidewalks. AS
the roadway is monopolized by the
tracks of the interurban trolley line
ordinary traffic is more or less incon-
venienced and relief measures are i'm
perative.
There has been some talk of raising
either end, but there have been pro-
tests from the property owners on both
sides OF the river against having their
lots left below the grade Of the streets,
and the project has been. abandoned.
When the work will begin has not
been determined, as the bonds have not
been sold, but their legality has already
been established, SO there will be no
difficulty in disposing Of them. Neither
should there be any difficulty in obtain
ing steel, as it is not wanted until next
winter.
Several Of the aldermen have taken
the position that the street railway
company should bear the expense of
widening, the bridge, holding that if the
railway tracks were removed, with the
consequent absence Of street cars, the
roadway would be Of sufficient width
to carry for many years. The street
railway company says in reply that il
spending 100000 or more in strengthen
ing the bridge it contributed as much
as it, should be asked, and it has re
fused to assume the widening expenses
There seems to be no authority vested
in the council to compel the company
to rebuild the structure.

MAY REQUIRE DRAINAGE
ONLY WAY THE CITY COULD PRE-
VENT DROWNINGS IN ABAND-
ONED QUARRY HOLES.

It will be a hard matter to compel
the owners of abandoned quarries in
Northeast Minneapolis to cover or drain
them, according to City Attorney
Healey, even tho such places are oc-
casionally the scenes Of drownings.
The QUART es are private property and
where the pits do not come up to the
street the company has little liability.
If the pit Is near the street, however,
or if no effort Is made by companies to
warn the people that it IS private prop
erty, they may be held liable. In con-
nection with the drowning Of Tony
johnson in the old quarry at First av-
enue and Fourth street NE yesterday,
the boy was evidently trespassing in
the technical construction Of the word.
Efforts have been made to keep people
away from the quarry and it never has
taken the place Of a common thorofare.
The health department, however, may
be able to compel the companies to
drain all the old quarries. If they can
prove that the water becomes stagnant
and is detrimental to the general health
the places will have to be drained. This
according to Mr.. Healy would be the
quickest method, as it could be tested
in police court in a criminal action an6
would not cost much to either side.
