Tutti Fruit With French Brandy.

Tutti frutti is generally begun in the
spring with strawberries, sugar loaf pine
apple, cherries, etc, continuing through
the season with the addition of each light
colored fruit in turn. You can, however.
begin now with pineapple. cutting it in
thin slices, with core and eyes removed,
following with sliced peaches, pears, plums,
white grapes, oranges and bananas. To
make it put into a stone jar holding about
a gallon quart of the best French brandy
and five pounds of powdered sugar. Now
begin adding the fruit as you have it.
There should be just enough brandy to
barely cover the fruit when all Is in. If
there is not enough, add little more from
time to time, with sugar in proportion.
Grapes are picked from the stems and are
seeded or not, as preferred. If the large
Muscat grapes are used. it is an easy mat
ter to slit them with penknife and eX-
tract the seeds. To keep the fruit from
moulding on top cut out circle of white
paper the size of the jar. dip in pure
eIycerine and place over the fruit, remov-
ing temporarily when fresh fruit is added
If you wish to put it in closed cans later
YOU can do so. 1t should be allowed to
rlpen for several weeks before using.

FATHER BIRD HELPS.
Cedar Birds Nest so Late Both Birds
Have to Sit on the Eggs.


From St. Nicholas.
In the Catskill mountains a pair of cedar
waxwings were found sitting as late as the
9Th of September
had seen one of the pair on the nest
during the daytime in the latter part OF
August, and thought it must be very cold
to hatch eggs. The weather was then be-
tween freezing and temperate in early morn
ing In September it seemed impossible
that any bird could sit on eggs in a nest in
an exposed place.
Going to the nest one evening 1 found
both of the waxwings upon 1t. The nest
was plainly in view in low cedar tree,
and, seeing them from every side, l made
sure that both birds were actually inside the
hollow of the nest
l found that the birds thus sat together
from late afternoon, when it began to grow
colder, until early the following morning.
when it began to grow warmer, and some
times during the middle of extra cold days
On September only one waxwing was on
the nest at 5:45 pm. About five minutes
later the other came to cedar near by. He
soon flew to the nest, and, after much turn
ing on the top of it, finally settled down ON
the back of the other bird-or, at any rate,
inside the nest The next day the heads of
two young waxwings showed over the edge
of the nest. They seemed three or four
days old. and one Of their parents was
brOOding them.

the purposes for which it was created.
Reports Called For.

The members of the Red Cross are re-
quested to report to the executive COM
mittee all such use of the Red Cross. not
connected with the national society, that
may come within their cognizance. The
society has a list of those manufacturers
who obtained the Red Cross as a trade
mark previous to its reincorporation under
the present charter in January, 1903. 1t
should be the duty of every American to
see to it that in eur. country this Red
Cross insignia, created for 50 benefcent
a purpose, is protected as far as possible
from the degradation Of becoming mere
advertisement for money-making designs
The election of officers and reports of the
treasurer will be the. business of the at
ternoon session. which opened at 3;H
O'Clock The old officers WIFI be Reelected,
it is believed, with onesseAception, Gen
George W., Davis will succeed Brig. Gen

House. and tonight. Miss Mabel Boardnan

Hair Ornaments.

Smart hair ornaments for evening Golf
fures come in two extremes this fall. One
is the large opera bonnet style In flowers,
while the other is the small aigrette bow
effect in spangied ribbon. Both are stun
ming and may be worn with either high or
low hair dressing and In simple or elab-
crate fashion, to suit the wearer.
Black velvet bows with either white or
black aigrettes will be affected by young
girls quite much as imitation feathery
fern sprays or sem-circles of delicate pink
roses or punches of lilies of the valley.
These bows are attached to bands of vel
vet ribbon twisted into circles that fit
snugly around a coil of hair on the top OF
the head and hold the bow and aigrette
securely in place on the side of the head.
These ornaments may easily be made at
home by any woman who is ingenious with
her needle, for once the velvet ribbon Is
twisted around circular pieces of cap wires
the finishing of the headdress Is simple.

RELIEF MONEY NOT MISSING.
Red Cross Funds at San Francisco Ac-
counted For

Secretary Taft today received the follow
ing telegram from Mr.. James D. Phelan,
president of the San Francisco Relief and
Red Cross Funds Corporation, denying re-
ports of large loss of relief money:
Eastern press advices state on authority
Of local newspaper report that large sums
of money subscribed have gone astray, and
that the President of the United States and
secret service men are investigating the
matter. The report apparently originated
from express company's failure to deliver a
thousand dollar package from Searchlite,
New, which has since been delivered Apart
from this no funds whatever are missing
Rumor entirely groundless Every sub
scriber who sent relief funds to San Fran
cisco should have numbered official receipt,
signed by president, controller and cashier
OF this corporation. In justice to San Fran
cisco and our generous friends in the east
please give widest publicity to this state
ment."

and after full discussion these subjects

In the absence of Secretary of War Taft,
who is president of the American National

"So-Called Training Schools"

In two cases that have been brought
to the notice of the executive committee,
it was stated during the discussion, So
called training schools for nurses that
provide in one case a course of a few
weeks, with no hospital experience, and in
another a training by correspondence only
called their nurses Red Cross nurses. AS
1t Is the object of the National Red Cross,
its nurses only such as have had a regular
two or three years course with hospital
training and whose efficiency and charac-
ter have been thoroughly vouched for so
that the American National Red Cross
nurses will rank as highly as do the Red
Cross nurses in many of the other coun-
tries. this use of the Red Cross by such
must act as strong detriment to the Ma
tionai Red Cross. and prove especially in
furious to it's efforts to secure the enroll
ment Of the highest class of trained
nurses.
Red Cross nurses are enrolled for serv
ice In time of war or of great calamity as
provided in the charter. and false impress
sion is conveyed, she thought. when nurses
not enrolled by the National Red Cross
make use of this name of Red Cross nurse.
There can be in each country but one Red
national Red Cross committee of Geneva
upon proof that the society has received
official recognition from the government OF
Its own country. and only its nurses are
really Red Cross nurses, so that all others
using this name convey to the public
false impression that they are nurses OF
the Red Cross was the consensus OF opfn-
ion in the discussion. and pubic opinion
should most strongly oppose the abuse OF

Tendency of the Debate.

aroused much interest leaned toward a
Suppression Of so many auxiliary Red
Cross societies, as the speakers felt that
it tended to confuse the mind of the pub
nc, and especially to place the American
National Red Cross Society in bad light
before foreign countries who had. 1t was
stated, a much higher idea of the Red

cans have.

being the real trouble. and not the naming
of small societies Red Cross" He himself
had brought suit against number OF So
cieties and people in Ohio who are using
the insignia of the Red Cross unlawfully,
so he declared.
Miss Mabel Boardman made a statement
of the troubles met by the American Ma
tional Red Cross in protecting its insignia.
She said that while the Red Cross insignia
is now protected by law, that unfortunately
in the United States the use of this insig-
MIA. created for the special purpose of iden-
tfying and protecting in time of war those
caring for the sick and wounded, ambu-
lances, hospitals and hospital equipments,
has never been properly safeguarded, as
has been done in most other countries
which are signatory powers Of the treaty
of Geneva, and which recognize the neces-
sity for the protection of this insignia.
She stated that a number Of manu-
featured articles bear as a trademark
this insignia, their manufacturers haV-
ing obtained from the patent Office, pre-
vious to the incorporation of the Red
Cross, a legal right to such use. Others
| using that mark claim a right to use IT
because they had used it previous to the
granting of the charter. In a number Of
cases, their attention being called to the
clause of the charter intending to pre-
vent as far as possible this use of the
Red Cross for purposes of trade, manu-
facturers and others have kindly and
promptly abandoned their use of it. In
other cases the request to desist from
it's use--it might be called is abuse-was
refused

Disposition of Funds.

Then arose a long and varying discussion
of the question: "Shall 80 per cent of the
interest on life membership dues be re-
turned to the treasurer of each branch in
which such life members are enrolled upon
yearly application from the executive COM
mittee of the branch if such interest is re-
uured by the branch to meet running ex-
penSeS?
This was referred to the executive COM
mittee for settlement. The same fate befell
the next question to how dues should be
apportioned.
The next subject for discussion was:
.Shouid regulations for branch societies,
article s. be amended to read: The fiscal
year of the branch societies will end Octo-
Der 81, so that all accounts can be audited
before the annual meeting of the state and
territorial societies. to be held at the call
of the state or territorial executive COM
mittees. on or before the third Saturday
of November?
After a discussion Miss Boardman an
nounced that the rules of the society would
govern that.
The next subject seemed to be of i'm
portance to all and was fully discussed by
Gen Hunt of Ohio. Mrs Loring OF Massa-
chusetts, Miss Boardm n DIS ret OF o.uT n
bia, Miss Gill of New York, Mr.. Magee of
California and many others. The question
propounded was: Shall State Branches
