FINES FOR THE PACKERS.
Freight Brokers Must Go to Prison
in Addition.
Burlington Railroad Fined $4,000
Each for Relating.

Kansas City, MO. = After
vigorously scoring dishonest practices
of railway companies, shippers ant
their agents in giving, receiving OF
procuring unlawful concessions in
freight rates, Judge Smith Mcpherson
in the United States court here Friday
pronounced sentence upon the follow
ing convicted corporations and per-
sons:
George L. Thomas, freight broker
four months Imprisonment and fine
of $4,000.
L. B. Taggart, chief clerk to Thomas
three months Imprisonment and fine
Of $4,000.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railway, fine of $15 600.
Swift & Co., packers, fine of S15,-
600.
Cudahy Packing company, fine OF
$4,000.
Armour Packing company, fine OF
$4,000.
Nelson Morris G Co., packers, a fine
of $4,000.
Regarding the equal guilt of all the
indicted corporations, Judge McPher.
son said:
81 assess the fines against all of said
corporations at the same sum. do
this on full consideration. These par
ties were all together in this scheme.
with like motive and purpose. The
corporation that grants concessions is
neither more nor less guilty than the
party who receives such benefits, and
the form of the indictment cannot
change this any more than in the case
of one who steals and and one who
knowingly receives stolen goods Rail
roads and shippers must be treated
alike in cases wherein they violate the
Elkins law.
"This is so both under the law and
under any code of morals. Both ship
pers and the railroads must under
stand that however artful the scheme
there is quail intelligence, which will
uncover and expose it's nakedness. And
if railroads and shippers doubt this
they are playing against stakes OF
large fines and judgment of imprison-
ment. And in playing the game they
take all the chances"
After stating that the testimony
showed that several Kansas City firms
had received large sums in rebates
through an agreement with Thomas
and Taggart. the judge said:
81 assume all these concerns will
be proceeded against for receiving these
unlawful rebates, which can be done
either by indictment or information, as
the last vestige of the plea of immuni-
ty for corporations has been wiped
out by the decision of the supreme
court of the United States of March IL,
1906, in the case of Hale VS.. Henkle.

and fry till light brown. Drain and
serve Immediately. In place of chick.
en- any kind of tender cold meat can
be used in this way, and when rightly
done it makes a delicious dish.
Chicken fricasse is made by cutting
a nice yearling chicken into small
pieces, then put in pot and cover
with cold water. When it boils skim
it, carefully taking off all the scum as
it rises. Use two-thirds of cup OF
flour with half cup of butter; let it
stand where it will be warm. When
the chicken is cooked put in the but
ter and flour, mixed thoroughly, with
teaspoonful of salt and half as
much pepper. Have ready pan of
nice warm biscuits, break them in
halves, lay them on deep platter,
and pour the chicken and gravy on the
hot biscuits.
For steamed chicken rub the chicken
on the inside with pepper and half
a teaspoonful of salt; place in a
steamer in a kettle that will keep it
as near the water as possible, cover
and steam an hour and a half. When
done keep hot while the dressing is
being prepared, then cut up, arrange
on a platter and serve with the dress
ing over them The dressing should
be made as follows: Boil one pint OF
gravy from the kettle, without the fat,
add cayenne pepper and half a tea
spoonful of salt. Stir a tablespoonful
of flour into a quarter of a pint of
cream until smooth, and add to the
gravy. Instead of the flour you may
use cornstarch. Some cooks add nut
meg or celery salt to the dressing.

Kitchen Weights and Measures.

Two cupfuls equal pint.
One teaspoonful salt to one quart

One tablespoonful salt to two quarts

One pint of milk or water equals

Two cupfuls of solid butter equals

One teaspoon extract to one loaf
of plain cake.
Sixteen tablespoonful liquid equal
one cup.
One teaspoon of soda to one cupful
of molasses.
One teaspoon of soda to one cupful
of sour milk.
One dozen eggs should weigh one

Three teaspoons of baking powder

various kinds which is probably due
to the prevailing high price of flour,
which has led housekeepers to cast
about for some way of making bread
more nourishing. Many excellent
breadmakers, especially in country
districts remote from towns, have
never discontinued the use of potato
bread, or bread made with potato
yeast. For them there is never do
nestle panic caused by a spasm OF
forgetfulness on somebody's part, nor
does somebody need to take a trip to
town to buy a few cents worth OF
tyeast.

If You Have an Oil Lamp.


The housewife who uses oil lamps
has now chance to learn some tricks
of the trade The testimony at the
interstate commerce commissions
hearing of the charges against the
Standard Oil Company has revealed.
among other things, how poor oil can
be made to burn we'll and how good
oil can be made to burn poorly by
fixing the lamp. The tricks that
the Standard Oil people used to the
injury of it's competitors will be criti-
cally studied by the housewife, be-
cause they will give her information
that she can use to profit in her own
business.
The wick, to begin with, should
hang straight down in the OIL Then
the oil will pass up more freely to the
flame, and a better light will be OBJ
tanned The wick should be cut with
as thin an edge as possible. If it has
a broad burning surface at the top
the flame will be yellow, instead of
white.
The chimney should fit tight to the
brass burner, SO as not to let air in
where air is not wanted. The holes
at the bottom of the burner should be
kept open, so as to let plenty of air
in where air is wanted. The wick
should not be turned so high that it
will char or smoke. An old chimney
lets a better light through than new
one and a shallow bowl lamp is bet
ter for poor grades of oil than deep
bowl lamp.

Some Ways of Preparing Chicken.

Mock prairie chicken is prepared as
follows: Slowly steam large fowls
until tender In deep skillet place a
heaping tablespoonful of butter, sew
eral slices of bacon, half a dozen pep
percorns and half dozen cloves. Roll
the pieces of chicken in sailed flour
and fry until brown. At the last mo.
ment add cupful of cream, allow it
to heat and serve at once.
For making chicken fritters cut cold
roasted or boiled chicken in small
pieces and place in an earthen dish.
Season we'll with salt, pepper and the
Juice of fresh lemon. Let the meat
stand for an hour, then make fritter
batter and stir the pieces into it. Drop
them, by the spoonful into boiling fat

Household Suggestions.

The habitual use of stimulants OF
any kind should be avoided. 1t tends
to weaken the system.
Cleanliness, fresh air and sunlight
will purify all living rooms.
Carpets or rugs filled with dirt or
grease, dirty furniture or walls COW
cred with old paper, defile the atmos-
phere as much as a refuse heap in the
cellar or back yard
Use good palatable food, not highly
seasoned; vary in quantity and char
acter according to age, climate, wealth
er and occupation.
Eating at regular intervals is more
important for good digestion than the
number of times each day, or the
quantity, as these must be governed
by the circumstances.
Sponge off neck, throat and chest in
cold water every morning, dry quick
ly with a soft towel, and rub until in
a glow, with coarse one, and sore
throat will rarely trouble you.
Common table salt makes a good
dentifrice. A teaspoonful dissolved
in two-thirds of a tumbler of water,
used in brushing the teeth, hardens
the gums, and whitens the teeth.
1t is common fault to breath only
from the top of the lungs while the
air cells in the larger portion of them
are inactive. Make a habit of using
the abdominal muscles in breathing
so as to utilize all the lung tissue. One
is better able to resist all diseases,
when the lungs are strong and active.
Ventilation cannot be accomplished
by simply letting the pure air in; the
bad air must be let out. Open win
dows both from the top and bottom;
hold a candle in the draft, and you
will find the flame turn outward at
the top and inward at the bottom of
the window. Windows on opposite
sides of the room ventilate more per-
fectly than those on the same side.
In papering a ceiling get the length
of the room and match and cut the
paper. Before beginning have a thick
interest on the cost of the outfit.
Baking dishes that become burned
in the oven and plates and platters
that become blackened with food
scorched upon them should not go
through the tedious process of scrap
ing. Simply put little water and
ashes in the dish, let it become warm
and the burned and discolored por-
tons may be easily cleaned without
injuring the dish.
A light egg omelet is made as fol-
lows: Beat up the yolks and whites
separately; do not have more than
three eggs to one omelet. Season your
yolks with pepper and salt, add one
tablespoonful of milk for every egg;
fold in the whites, put in the frying
pan in oven until you can put knife
through; if done, the knife will be
clean and dry when you take it out.
