Squi-es May Force the Fighting.


The impression prevails that Burns will
let Squires do the forcing for the first
eight or ten rounds in the expectation that
the Australian will tire himself out. JEFF
fries finally prevailed upon Burns yester-
day not to wear his pneumatic belt at
tachment. which has been the source of
trouble and argument before.
Il look for good hard fight" said JEFF
fries last night. II don't see why Squires
Is so much a favorite. for he Is an I'M
known quantity. Burns Is a better man
than the Pacific coast fight fans think. If
Squires wins. and if the public demands it,
and there Is enough money in sight. 1 will
fight him"
II haven't fully decided on my style of
fighting" said Burns. Il always select my
fighting method after 1 have measured my
man. l never felt more sure of winning
in my life
II don't expect the fight to go over ff-
teen rounds" was Squires' statement. II
am in perfect condition, and the fight will
be on the square,
The prelimnaries preceding the main
event will begin at o'clock. Many sport
ing men from Los Angeles. the Nevada
gold fields and other points arrived last
night and this morning.
The rounds of the Burns-Squires
fight will be described through a
megaphone at The Star building this
afternoon.

A DRESSY FR0CK ON
THE MILITARY ORDER.

A dressy frock seen this week was
fashioned of stone colored broadcloth. The
coat was fitted in the back and the double
front was paneled to initiate a vest and
crossed with handsome black bands OF
braid in military effect. The coat was al
most the length of the skirt In the back
yet cut sharply at the knee line in 'front.'
sloping gradually to the back. The lower
edge of the rounded coat portion was
trimmed with two bands Of black braid.
The lower edge of the skirt, with the ex-
ception Of the front panel, was treated IN
the same manner. The sleeves were long
and finished like the collar with broad
black braid. The neck arrangement was
neat, being a fine hemstitched linen collar,
plastron front and very small black four
in-hand silk tie.

1t does me good when / see a young
woman make a nice appearance on a
small salary.
So few have the knack of stretching
a dollar to its utmost, and this is just
what has to be done If one desires to
maintain a neat, modish a~ppeaaance.
1t is so cas- to be tempted into buy
ing useless ribbons and furbelows when
you have just received our weekly
stipend. You spend a little here and a
little there, and before you know 1t
you have invested in several dollars
worth of, well, not useless, but almost
useless fripperies.
Now, If you are going to carry out
that plan Of action you will be wailing
as did Flora McFlimse, that you have
nothing to wear only with more
cause than walled that unreasonable
young woman.
Spend your money carefully, making
SURE thai the articles o purchase will
repay you by wearing well, and you
will be bound 10 look nice.
I am well aware that being economical
is not much fun, but 1t certainly pays
in the end.
Buy few clothes, of good material,
rather than a variety of pretty but
unreliable fabrics, and you will not re-
greet it.
This rule applies to every arNcle of
wearing apparel. 1t is comfortable to
feel that one is "well' dressed, and
really good clothes are bound to give
that feeling, beside showing their
worth until they are "clean worn out"

I ave noticed on your woman's page
many good recipes for cakes and such
things. VIII YOU be kind enough TO lei
me a v a recipe for plain sponge AXE
Also a recipe for good cookies. Please
oblige me by answering In the near future,
olnd win the thanks of M. N. b.
Sponge Cake-One cup Of sugar two
eggs, one cup Of flour, one large teaspoon
full of baking powder, one-third of a cup of
boiling water. Beat the yolks and whites
separately, mix sugar with the yolks, add
the frothing whites, flour and baking
powder and the hot water. Beat until the
mixture Is very smooth and light, and
bake in a quick oven.
Spice Cookies-One cupful of molasses,
one teaspoonful of soda, one-fourth of a
teaspoonful each of salt, cinnamon, all
spice and one-eighth of a teaspoonful Of
paprika. two tablespoonful Of vinegar,
two-thirds Of a cupful Of warm water, one
package fig mince, three eggs, four cupfuIs
of flour, one-third of a cupful Of butter or
lard melted. Bake in shallow pans for
twenty-five minutes.
Plain Cookies-One cup Of sugar, one
half cup of butter, two eggs, two table
spoonfuls of milk, two teaspoonfuls of bak-
ing powder, a little nutmeg, and flour to
make q soft dough. Mix well, roll out
very thin and bake.
Please publish on the womap's page a
way to clean a child's lambs wool furs,
as I do not want to go to the expense Of
having them cleaned by a professional
cleaner. I am an interested reader of your
paper. Thanking you, MRS. b. II.
Heat a pan of white cornmeal, rub it
into the furs, shaking out the soiled meal
frequently. When the meal is no longer
soiled as 1t is shaken out. the furs will be
quite clean. Heated bran, used in the
same way, will prove effective.
Kindly let me know on the woman's
page, as soon as possible, of something to
take the stains from steel knives, and
oblige, HOUSEWIFE.
Use a mixture of sweet oil and bath
b~rickdust. Leave it on for several hours,
and then polish with channels skin. Raw
potato is also excellent for removing obsti-
nate stains from steel.
Please tell me through the Question Box
how to remove muddy footmarks from
straw mating, and oblige, ANGRY.
Put three pints OF bran in two quarts OF
water and boil. When 1t is nearly cool,
wash the mating with it, and dry 1t well
with a clean cloth. Add a little salt to the
water for white mating and vinegar for
red. to set the colors.
