TABLE DELICACIES
ALL SORTS OF GOOD THINGS TO
TEMPT THE APPETITE.
Beef Tea as 1t Should Be Made-Hot
Water Sponge Cake-Apricot Sher-
bet Makes a Delicious
Dessert.

Beef Tea-Take a pound of gooo
steak, remove all the fat, wipe the
meat with damp cloth, and cut it in
pieces about one inch square. Put
this in a glass fruit jar, pour over it
two cups of cold water, and salt, and
let it stand for half an hour. Into q
deep saucepan put several thicknesseS
of newspaper and set the jar on this
Pour water into the saucepan so that
it will rise to the same height as
the liquid inside the jar. Let the
water reach the simmering point, and
let it stand for two hours, then in.
crease the heat a very little, and cook
little longer. Pour off the liquid
strain, add more salt if necessary, and
serve very hot.
Hot Water Sponge Sake.-Beat the
yolks of three eggs until very light
Add one cup of sugar, beating con.
stantly. Stir in a little at time half
cup of boiling water. Add one and
one-fourth cups of flour in which a
teaspoonful of baking powder has been
sifted, and little salt. Lastly add the
whites of two eggs beaten stiff and a
teaspoonful of any preferred extract

oven and do not open the oven door
until the cake has been baked nearly
20 minutes.

pieces to fill cup. Put it into boil
ing salted water, and let it cook until

helpless, deserving fellowman. Under the
fatherhood of God are we not all breth-
rem? And oh, how sad to think of the
good men whose time must be spent in
misery, for the state, when in them lies
SO much of the stun which marks the
true mani

circumstances, and as saw 14-year-old
boys, some young men, enter the bastile,
the very picture of health and manly Wig
or, others with locks gray and faces
marked by furrows of care, and some
bent and inflrm, on the very brink of
eternity, could not help but contemplate
the sadness Of 1t all. Knowing these
things, why should 1 not plead for the
needy and helpless fellowman?
Blessings Of Hope
1t is the blessed privilege of hope which
makes us all forbear and every breath Of
human cheer opens to the prisoner 8
heart the hope Of succor. Were 1 pos
sessed Of the eloquence Of a former
great statesman also could say much on
"Crimes Against Criminals" However,
I have no desire to be revengeful, for
verify we should all be tempered with
mercy when we sit in Judgment on our
fellow man, because we do not yet realize
the mixture Of good and evil that is in
every man. Like the immortal Longfel-
low, 'Let the dead past bury its dead;
act in the living present, heart within and
God overhead"
Politicians say that labor leaders are
opposed to the product of prison labor
and would oppose state reformatory for
the same reason.
1 cannet believe that that is true, for
the reason that more than three-fourths
of Elmira's reformatory inmates belong
to the poor 1aboring class who earn
their bread by the sweat Of their brow"
and as prisoners here are neither better
nor worse than in New York or else
where, It seems but reasonable to expect
that the same trades taught in New York
with their product will be favorably con-
sidered by the representatives of labor in
California.
The question has been asked many times
as to what argument was used at Sacra-
mento which in the face Of all opposi-
tion convinced every member of the legis-

lack of time or other reasons, Is un-
questionably farce.
Offers Remedy
"The remedy under existing condi-
tions lies with the lawmakers. Senate
bill 772 has passed both houses and now
awaits the governors signature. 1t
provides for the segregation and grad
ing of state prisoners as the facilities
afforded by the present prison build
ing permit, and as they are improved
further extensions of these provisions
shall be made.
Amended ass embly bill No. 1 pro-
vides for board which will have moth
ing else to do but look after the liber-
alton of prisoners. The board has
power to employ probation officers,
etc, whose duties are to find employ
ment for every prisoner before he
leaves the prison. The plan works
we'll in other states and there seems to
be no good reason advanced why 1t
would not work we'll in California.
There is also an indeterminate sentence
bill before the Legislature which, II 1T
becomes a law, may afford some relief
to the congested condition of our state
prisons"
In no better way can the legal scope
of the reformatory's work, as IN opera
ton in New York. be described than by
a renedTSdl OI tIlS bpSCidi laws oPPiyAib
to It, They have been enacted from
year to year since 1876 as circumstances

I will affirm that which is generally con-

SENTENCE SERMONS

Killing time is soul suicide.
Prosperity is stin test of piety.
No man finds fame by hunting it.
There is no obedience under compulsion.
Pickled piety is bound to give somebody pain.
Ideals Of character are the conscience OF So
ciety.
He never finds himself who, never denies
himself.
You never will nnd faith by running away
from facts.
The highest religion is to do the iowiiest
things WELL
They who pour out their hearts never empty
them.
A man may deceive himself but he never
fools destiny.
Truth cannot be found while squirting at
popular opinion
Revenge is never SO sweet as when We re-
Our toughest experiences often arise from
our smoothest tricks.
You cannot travel toward heaven If you
turn your back on truth.
Some talk so hard about duty they have no
strength left for deeds.
You cannot be a leader and lose sight Of
those who are to he led.
The shortness Of the day excuses no man
from greatness of endeavor.
The mournful saint works a good deal more
harm than the cheerful sinner.
I The faith that shows up strong on the fence
may fail altogether when it gets on the field.
II we never do the things We do not like we
never will be able to do the things we desire.
It's not the man who says the loudest amen
who makes the most impression on heaven.
There are too many folks trying to meet the
worlds hunger for love with essays on affec-
tion.
Lots of people let their daily mamma spoil
while they pray for butter and sugar to spread
on 1t.
Many man thinks his life Is clouded over
when the truth is he is burying his head IN
the steam of his own sighngs.
