Inc appreciation believes that what
tastes nice looks nice.
Watercress, radishes and mustard are
disastrous to any lettuce salad. The
first is mean and purposeless, the
second crude and indigestible and the
third a mere impertinence. Certain
delicate herbs, however, always are well
come. The French, with no especial
advantages in supply, are wiser than
We are IN their use of fresh green food.
No day passes that the majority of
French people do not partake at one
meal, and generally two, of green vege-
tables as a salad.
When we eat salad we generally es-
chew the mild and wholesome oil and
drench our greens with bad vinegar,
to the ruin of the flavor of the salad
and the injury to the lining of our
stomachs
In breaking up lettuce, as in mixing
different vegetables, in stringing beans,
IN sprlnkling herbs, do not be afraid of
using your fingers. ''Fingers were
maze before forks although the lit
tie girl who heard the proverb for the
first time said" Mine weren 't!' The
first instructions in the cook book per-
tanning to salads usually is "First,
wash the salad - This is wrong. 1t
should be: First, wash the hands,
There IS historical precedent, too. In
the olden time salads were mixed by
the prettiest and youngest woman
present, and she did it always with her
fair hands

SEASON OF DELICIOUS SALADS

This is the season of salads, and fol
some reason or other they are sys
tematically, carefully and stupidity neg
lected by a majority of people. AL
that the most Jealous salad advocate
can hope to bring about is a general
agreement on principle and striving
toward a higher artistic ideal. The
rough conception of a salad is a prepa-
ration of steel cut outer leaves of sod
den lettuce soused in vinegar and fla
vored with stale watercress.
The ordinary hotel salad is disgrace
to civilization. 1t is concoction of
moribund garden leaves dressed with
bad vinegar and petrol. The only var
iety known to the average chef is a
pseudonymous mayonnaise-an oily
cloak for fish or chicken that has been
aging rapidly.
The pure delight for fresh crisp
young lettuce intelligently and becom-
ingly dressed, is well within the reach
of any household. One may be a salad
lover without being a vegetarian. There
are degrees in all things and a proper
salad is welcome addition to almost
every meal
Most published salad recipes dwell
too lepgthily and lovingly upon its
the powdered egg yOlks and
the brilliant beet. All this is entirely
beside the question. An otherwise
good salad is none the worse for look
ing nice and appetizing, but the genu-

USED BIBLE AS CIPHER.

When she left her home in the small
town to come to New York to take Ut
a special course of study, her pet sister
was fast reaching the crisis Of love
affair. The pet sister was most WIN
some young lady, and had long kept a
goodly train of suitors assigning. Was
this affair to be the grand affair? The
older sister hoped so, for she liked the
young man cordially-thought he was
| just the sort to make a proper brother
in-Iaw.
But the weeks passed and not bit
| of definite news about the progress of
| the affair did the older sister receive
in her city boarding house. She be-
came anxious, Louise, she thought
must not go on recklessly trifling in
| such important matters.
| Then one night about 10 o'clock, just
as she was going to bed, came a tele7
| gram. The servant brought it up. The
| older sister was country girl enough to
! be thoroughly frightened by the pale
manila backed linked envelope. How
ominous it looked! At length she gath
cred courage to open it. This is what
she read:
Solomon six three. LOUISE"
Solomon six three! Whatever in the
world! oh, why, yes, stupid, 1t or
course meant the Song of Solomon
sixth chapter, third verse. But-and
her cheeks flushed with shame-she had
no Bible!
There was a great scurrying about
the boarding house to find q copy or
the sacred book. The girls were rout-
ed out in vain. On all sides the cry
arose, Who's got Bible?" Just think
of the sister trying to sleep that night
without knowing what that verse was!
1t would have been just like woman
to lie down to pleasant dreams, COM
tent to know that she could satisfy her
curiosity in the morning-not!
The landlady, good soul, came to the
rescue. She was no heather. She had
a Bible. Up to her room with it flew
the sister, and shut the door. Such a
turning over of pages by eager, nervous
fingers! Solomon six three. She found |
it, and then she cried "Hurrah!" and |
laughed, for the verse was:
Il am my beloved's, and my beloved |
is mine. New York Press.

Experts say that camphor makes the
teeth brittle. 1t is employed because
it helps to make them white and, be-
ing an antiseptic, keeps the gums
healthy.
For poison ivy use a solution of bak-

An eminent dental surgeon advocates
the cleansing of the teeth daily with

The voice should be used sparingly
when one is suffering from a cold in
the head, sore throat, or weakness af-

added huskiness and harshness which

A German doctor has discovered a
new cure for sickness at sea, which
will be welcomed by hosts of travellers
The passenger simply lies on his back
with handkerchiefs soaked in hot water
twisted very tightly around his fore
head. The treatment is said to cure
in about half an hour, and those who
it are said never to be troubled
with sickness again during the voyage.
Many persons who are obliged to be
much upon their feet suffer greatly
during the hot weather with swollen,
tender feet. Relief will be found in a
hot foot bath containing a tablespoon
each of borax, spirits of ammonia and
alcohol, a teaspoon each of witch hazel
and camphor. Keep the feet in the
water about ten minutes. In the morn
ing rub taIcum powder or other good
on the feet and wear high
shoes which have broad soles and low

state board of bar examiners and
former president of the Kansas Bar

effects Of fall from the roof of his
house, committed suicide or met an
accidental death still remains a mys-

over $500, 600, some of which he had
secured only recently.
Insurance agents here decline to
discuss the case, which has been re-
ported to the general offices of the

lecting evidence and say that special
adjusters will be here soon to go

Der Of mysterious cases of horse pois-
oning that have occurred in that
neighborhOod in the past four or five
months. Examinations of four horses
which have died in that time have
revealed the presence of some poison.
while there is a suspicion that the
deaths of several others which have
occurred within that time have also
been the result of a poisoner's work.
The officers found the community
wrought TO a high pitch as a result
OF the Outrages, which eliminated i'm
the burning Of a barn belonging to
Frank Fritz farmer living near
Valencia, which occurred on May II.
Mr. Fritz lost several head of horses,
farm implements, feed, etc, to the
value Of about $4,000. Since that
occurrence there have been a num-
Der Of meetings held to investigate
the burning of the barn and the kill
ing OF horses.

Phoenix, Ariz., June 5.--John Fer
guson, alias John Wright, husband of
Mrs. Eva Wright, who lies at the
Mesa hotel suffering from a broken
skull caused py falling into a we'll at
Chambers ranch two weeks ago, was
found at noon, lying upon the floor
in his room, which Joined that of his
wife, in an unconscious state.
On the table nearby were several
bottles, a Smith q Wesson revolver
and a pasteboard box containing a
note explaining his action. He de-
ciared that fear of his wife's death
caused him to take the poison. He
died an hour later.
The young couple have been a study
to the people on Chandler's ranch
since their arrival in the valley a few
weeks ago. They never referred to
their past life and had but little to
say, aside from business affairs, to
their acquaintances.
When Mrs. Wright was injured the
doctors wanted to notify her relatives
knowing that the woman was In a
serious condition, but the husband
refused to tell where they were To-
Gated and since Mrs Wright has been
able to speak she also refuses to
speak Of relatives or friends.

UNDER SUSPICION

House After Body Was Dis
covered. and Threatened to
Kill Officers Sent to Place
Him Under Arrest.

Minneapolis, Mimi. June 5.-The
body of Mrs. Catherine McCarty, of
Minneapolis, who has been missing
since May "a. was found yesterday
by detectives in an abandoned we'll
on the farm of George Katelbach, a
few miles from the city.
Her head was crushed and her
body only partly clothed.
Katelbach. brother-in-law of the
dead woman, barricaded himself in
his house last night and refused to
permit officers to come near the
place. He threatened to kill the Off
GERS who were sent to arrest him.
Mrs. McCarty was a comely wo-
had left home for some private rea-
son, but later developments led to a
search and finally her body was
found.
No Motive for Murder.
Her head had evidently been crush
ed with some blunt instrument, pre-
sumably a club or blunt side of an AK
The reason for the killing is not
apparent, though there is every rea-
son to believe that Katelbach COM
mitted the crime. Jealousy may
have been the cause.
Katelbach is of peculiar disposi-
ton, reticent and unfriendly at times
and neighbors have noted that he
was unusually irritable after the dis
appearance of the woman.

Millionaire Involved.
That the day OF sensations in graft
revelations is not yet passed and that
in the near future, the public will be
treated to some choice finds of the
muck rake. is the prediction of those
who are close to the graft prosecu-
ton.
william j. Burns has been investi-
eating the relations between one of
the millionaires and Mayor Schmitz,
and as a result of these Investigations
new scandals are promised.
When these new developments in
the graft situation are brought to
light 1t is stated. the motives for the
strenuous efforts on the part of a GER
tain millionaire i'm particular and
other friendly millionaires to save the
indicted mayor will be obvious.
Fear Ruef VIII Hedge
1t is declared by those who are IL
close touch with the prosecutors that
Ruef is carefully estimating whether
he could better himself by repudiat-
ing grand jury testimony and sub
mitting to a conviction for perjury.
William j. Burns, however, has
confidence in the steadfastness of
Ruef and predicts that the fallen boss
will vindicate his declarations of
repentance and reform on the witness
stand in all the trials by testifying
even more startling things against
the indicted millionaires than he has
told the grand jury.
"Do you believe in the sincerity OF
Ruef's professions of repentance
Yes" Burns replied, "Ruef has
been thoroughly on the square with
us, and l am convinced Of it. be-
lieve that in his confession he has
told all of the various deals he en-
tered into with the corporation mag
Mates"
Yesterday Burns called upon Ruef
and was closeted with him for some
time He would not admit, however,
that Ruef had made any further con-
fession to him.
