Heavyweight Kitchen Folks.

'It will do you more good to smell
food that is being cooked than it will
to eat it after it is cooked" was the
astounding statement made by res.
taurant man.
That is the reason why so many
professional cooks are heavyweights
You never saw anyone who became q
chef and stayed at it any length OF
time but became fleshy. Cooks never
eat to any great extent, except to
taste the food at times while it is be
ing cooked in order to see if it is done
1t is the odor of the food In the kettles
that makes them fat.
THE same will apply in the case Of
the housewife. Continuous work In
the kitchen makes feshy women ant
healthy women. Cooking is the health
test occupation In the world"

Fashion Fancies===What Will
Be Worn This Fall

1t would be foolish in anyone at this
time Of the year to attempt to say
with authority what will be worn in
November. The great dressmakers of
Paris have models after this date which
they show TO the buyers from the great
shops in America, and these return
home and give the designs to the manu-
facturers to make up in large quanti-
ties for the September and. early Octo-
Der openings.
Several weeks later other models are
shown to the dressmakers who create
and copy for the rich and fashionable
set The larger public are not so in
terested in these later models because
it does not usually have the money to
buy these gowns, or to go to these
dressmakers.
True, there are hundreds of fashion
able women who. with little money to
spend, always wait until the later mod
els have come over before making
seamstress or small dressmaker who
can copy the design for them The wo-
man in the great city has an easy time
OF it for the leading shops are up IN
the fashions in ready made garments in
an astonishing manner
1t is the woman in the small towns
who cannot go to the great cities for
her clothes or her ideas, who has the
hard time of it between seasons know
ing just what to get ready.
There never was time when ready
made clothes were in such demand.
Even the rich who IN other days al
ways patrOnized the dressmaker now
get clothes off the books in the large
shops. The reason for this is that the
shops bring over everything a dress
maker does. and they have experienced
and high class cutters and filters who
can please the most fastidious

Egg Dishes.

Many persons dislike meat in warm
weather, and prefer light dishes of
eggs, vegetables, salads. etc. Eggs are
at their best in summer and at their
cheapest, so one wonders that they do
not figure more frequently on the warm
weather luncheon and dinner menu.
The following recipes are from
French cook, who can cook eggs in al
most as many ways as he can cook po-
tatoes-and who averred that there
were as many ways of cooking potatoes
in Paris as there were people in Mont
maitre.
To prepare eggs in cases butter some
small. white fireproof china cases, put
into each a small piece of butter with
a pinch of parsley. pepper, salt and
very little cayenne. Break an egg into
each case, add a teaspoonful of grated
cheese and a sprinkling of bread
crumbs. Put the cases in the oven
for about five minutes and serve.
Egg Fritters-BoiI some eggs hard
and put them in cold water. Remove
the shells carefully and cut in half
lengthwise, covering the cut side with
a thin piece of ham. press it fiat with
a knife. Then wrap each piece of egg
and ham in a thin piece of puff pastry,
cut into an oval shape. the edges
brought together across the top and
pinched. Then brush each puff with
beaten egg and dip into fine crushed
vermicelh. Drop into boiling fat and
fry a golden brown. After draining
on paper dust grated Parmesan cheese
over and serve very hot
| Buttered Eggs and Mushrooms-Put
two ounces Of butter into q stew pan,
when melted, break in four fresh eggs,
add a good tablespoonful of chopped
mushrooms. little salt and pepper.
Stir this mixture over the fire till quite
thick Pour 1t on hot buttered toast,
and serve at once. II preferred mine
ed ham, chicken. or cold cooked vege-
tables can be used. also sardines or
lanchovies.
Eggs au Gratin-Boil four eggs hard.

FOR THE SCHOOL GIRL.

For etceteras, or rather, for the
other necessary articles and under
wear, these are as important in their
way as the outside garments. A dress
ing gown is an absolutely necessity,
indeed, two are needed; one of light
goods, such as flannel, fiannellette or
challis; the other Of blanket stuff or
eiderdown cloth Both should be made
long-to the floor. Then a short comb
ing jacket, although not necessity
IS very nice to have. Bedroom slippers
are needed in addition to two pairs of
walking boots, a pair OF low shoes for
house (and SCHOOL, wear and a pair of
nice pumps or slippers. Half a dozen
pairs of stockings are enough to start
with; more can be added later, and too
many are apt to be lost. So also with
handk erchiefs; a dozen are enough to
begin on, or at most dozen and a half
Everything should be well marked in
small dainty script
AS to underwear, four sets of every
thing are sufficient; this gives two to
be in preparation at the laundry, one
to be worn and one held in reserve.
If more is wanted one of these should
be the extra nice set kept for special
occasions.
In neckwear there can hardly be put
limit, for these are things that soil
easily and need to be always fresh.
The little needlework turnover collars
worn on a ribbon are the most stylish
as we'll as economical. A thrifty girl
can do them up herself. for they wash
without a bit Of trouble and can be
! ironed with one of the tiny hatirons
which a girl can have among her own
things, to be heated on the gas or a
stove alike, or even on radiator. #

that the sport is raising for itself

that will not endanger the lives and

= low, matched the sullen, fitful
mood of Glenister.
During the last month he had chafed
and fretted like an animal in leash
for word of Wheaton This uncertainty,
this impotent waiting with folded
hands, was maddening to one Of his
spirit. He could apply himself to no
fixed duty, for the sense of his wrong
preyed on him fercely, and he found
himself haunting the Vicinity Of the
Midas, gazing at 1t from afar, grasp
Ing hungrily for such scraps of news
as CHANGED to reach him. Mcnamara
allowed access to none but his min
ions, so the partners knew but vague
ly Of what happened on their prop
erty, even though, under fiction Of the
law, 1t was being worked for their
protection.
No steps regarding a speedy hearing
of the case were allowed, and the col
fusion between Judge Stillman and the
receiver had become so generally rec
ognized that there were uneasy NUT
terings and threats in many quarters.
Yet, although the politician had by
now virtually absorbed all the richest
properties in the district and worked
them through his hirelingS, the people
of Nome, as a whole. did not grasp the
full turpitude of the scheme nor the
systems perfect working.

spent much of his time in the hills

On this day, as the clouds broke
about noon, close down on the angry
horizon a drift of smoke appeared,

She lay to in the off1ng and through
his glasses Glenister saw that it was
the Roanoke. AS the hours passed and
no boat put of, he tried to hire a crew,
but the longshoremen spat wisely and
shook their heats as they watched the
surf
There's the devil Of an undertow
| settin' along this beach," they told
him, land the waters too cold to
firm hands upon his impatieEce.
Every day meant many dollars to
the watcher, and yet it seemed that
nature was resolute in thwarting him,
for that night the wind freshened. and
daylight saw the ship hugging the lee
of Sledge island. miles to the west
ward, while the surf, white as boiling
milk. doomed and Numbered against
the shore
Word had gone through the street
that Bill Wheaton was aboard with a
writ or a subpoena or an alibi or what
ever was necessary to put the "kibosh''
on Mcnamara, so public excitement
grew. Mcnamara boarded his gold in

| granted that there would lie the scene
of the struggle. No one supposed fol-
an instant that the usurper would part
with the treasure peaceahly.

A Palpable Hit.
[From Bryan's Commoner.

lFrom Bryan's Commoner.1
In an editorial entitled Wages Delu-
sion the Louisville Courier-Journal
makes an interesting answer to a Repub-
ncan newspaper that claimed that the
cotton mill operators in north Germany
get only $191.0 a year, while in America
they get $304.57.
The Courter-Journal says: "It looks a
little queer to see arguments for protec-
ton made on the ground that 1t gives our
laborers $304.57 a year. There are 313
working days in a year. barring holidays
with pay. SO that the wage is less than a
dollar a day. Now. a farm laborer at $40
q month and board gets $40 in money,
n the board would. even at a low rate,
bring the total up as high as that Of the
cotton mill operator. 1t Is well known
that the farm laborer has no protection,
and It IS hard to see how the cotton mill
/! operator gets n benefit from It La
borers in many unprotected ~empioyments
get more than q dollar q day. Moreover,
the owners Of cotton mills import iaborers
free from foreign countries. II tho pro-
tective tariff makes prices OF commodities

Gar and Douma,

Whether any Bourbon blood flows in
the veins of Gar Nicholas 1 do not
know, not being a genealogist, but it
may be safely asserted that he pos
sesses one Of the Bourbon characters
tics-he learns nothing. That fact is
quite likely to cost him his throne,
perhaps his head also. If history
teaches any n thing more than an
other, it is that when a great people
make up their minds to be free they
will sooner or later succeed. How many
English tyrants dissolved how many
English parliaments is not at this mo-
ment remembered, but parliaments
continued to assemble, and after eve
buttons and bloodshed, some of royal
blood, there convened a parliament
which was master Of the king, and
Englishmen were free. Charles I. was
much such a man as Nicholas, and ev-
erybody knows what happened to him.
The story of England was in many re-
spects repeated in France later on.
Louis XVI. was an amiable sort Of
king as kings go. He spent his leisure
in making locks to such an extent that
he came to be known as "the lock-
smith," He seems to have possessed
the domestic and private virtues to a
large extent for a king, but he repre-
scented a bad system, and he lost his
head for it. The sins of his ancestors
were visited upon him. Talleyrand said
that Louis made a dozen concessions
to the people any one Of which would
have saved his life and his throne had
1t been made twenty-four hours sooner.
It's a wonder that no king ever has
sense enough to read the handwriting
on the wall and to yield gracefully to
the Inevitable. There must be a dis
ease peculiar to monarchs which
should be named royal blindness.
Nothing is more certain than that Rus.
STA will be free.

A Tall Statesman.

Hats off to my good friend Hon. Cy-
u A. Sulloway, representative from
New Hampshire, who stands six feet
seven in his stockings. He is not only
taller than any Of his colleagues or
than any senator, but also taller than
any member of the house Of commons
or house of lords. The tallest common
er, Eric Hambro, who has just resign
ed, is only six feet five and three-quar-
ter inches, while Lord Ampthill, who
can't resign even if he wanted to, is
only six feet four and a half inches.
Thus, even in the small matter of phys
ical altitude, u statesmen beat the

The Irritable Japs.

On dit that the administration will
not send any of our battleships to Pa
cifc waters for fear that such action
would irritate the Japs to such an ex-
tent that they would jump IN us right
away. If the Japs are that irritable
and would jump SO suddenly and un-
provoked, then the oon we send all
our battleships into the Pacific the bet
ter. Part of them might act as an irri-
tant. All of them might act as a soda.
tive. The chances are, however, that
the tale is a lie.

The Georgian.

The immediate success Of the
Georgian, the new evening Atlanta
paper edited by my brilliant, eloquent
and lovable friend Colonel John Temple
Graves, is one Of the most interest
ing phenomena Of our times. The
Georgian had no experimental stage Of
living on short commons. 1t was a
magnificent triumph Of journalism from
the beginning and now has a circula-
ton Of fifty odd thousand, which is
remarkable for a paper in a city the
size of Atlanta, and it's circulation is
rapidly growing. Colonel Graves, At

Especial Washington letter.
MY good friends General Charles
NIL II. Grosvenor of Ohio and
IL Charles B. Lands of Indiana,
who have been swearing by
the beard Of the prophet for a decade
that under the benign influence Of the
Dingley bill, from which, according to
their philosophy, all blessings flow,
there is not a tramp in America, must
feel an unpleasant sensation when
they learn that the railroads kill from
1900 to 1900 tramps annually. Now,
it's clear as crystal that the railroads
could not kill tramps unless there were
tramps to kill. Nor can 1t be assumed
by these astute and agile statesmen
that the railroads kill all the tramps.
Perhaps, as a matter Of fact, they
do not kill more than one out Of a
thousand, which forms some basis
for asc~ertaining the whole number of
tramps in this land of the free and
home of the brave. The above figures
were given in a carefully prepared pa
per read by Mr.. o. F. Lewis, superin-
tendent Of the two largest charity So
cieties of New York, before the late
national charities conference at Min
neapolis. Will Brother Grosvenor and
Brother Lands admit their error and
cease to make such preposterous asser-
tons? Not on your life-not SO long
as they believe that anybody can be
roped In to vote the Republican ticket
by SO doing! They probably will fol-
low the White House example and de-
clare that Lewis is a liar and a horse
thief because he has dared to tell the
truth.
Worse and more Of it for Grosvenor,
Lands ct i'd genus omne, the Phila-
delphia Press, a Republican organ edit
ed by ex-Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith, admits the truth of the
foregoing figures, and the Washington
Herald, Independent, speaks editorial
ly of the Tramp Problem and. Its
Solution"

Bread and Wine.

History has a strange way Of re-
peating itself. Revolutions have been
caused before now by a rise in the
price Of bread. and it begins to look a
little as if there may come a revolution
in France from the price Of wine. It's
a fight by the natural wine" makers
against the artificial wine'' makers.
Any movement that can collect togeth-
err 100000 people IN short notice must
be of far reaching consequence, espe-
cially among a people SO mercurial and
emotional as the French. The hero OF
this wine crusade, Marcelline Albert,
has been dubbed labor's Napoleon.
