TABLE DELEGATES
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 good
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
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 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
teaspoonful of any preferred extract
for flavoring. Bake in a rather quick
oven and do not open the oven door
until the cake has been baked nearly
20 minutes.
Dreamed Macaroni with Cheese
Break up enough macaroni into inch
pieces to fill cup. Put it into boil
ing sailed water, and let it cook until
tender, which should take about 20
INT, II lot
the cold water from the faucet run
through it until the pieces do not
stick together. Make white sauce,
using three tablespoons of butter, one
and one-half tablespoonful of flour,
one and one-fourth cups of milk, and
salt to taste. When nearly cooked stir
in half a cupful of grated cheese.
When the cheese is melted turn the
sauce over the macaroni, mixing it
carefully. Turn into buttered bak-
ing dish, cover with cracker crumbs,
and dot the crumbs with butter. Cook
in hot oven until the crumbs are
brown.
Fruit Filling for cake.ACook togeth-
er in boiling water half cup of seed
ed raisins and half as many candied
cherries, until the fruit pumps out
nicely. Turn out all the water, chop
the fruit, season with lemon juice, and
then return to the liquid in which the
fruit was boiled and add enough pow
dered sugar to make the mixture
spread easily and keep stiff.
Apricot Sherbet.-Select a good
brand of canned apricots and re-
move the fruit from the strip. With
a sharp knife remove all the skin from
the fruit and cut the apricots In small
pieces. Return the fruit to the strip,
add two cups of sugar and little less
than a quart of water Stir well to-
gether and freeze. Serve in sherbet
glasses and pass sponge cake with it,
unless it is used between the meat
and salad or game course.
Crabapple Jelly. To change the
sometimes insipid taste of crabapple
jelly, cook small bag of mixed spice
in the jui-e. 1t will give a fine flavor
and is delightful change to serve
with meat.

About the Garden.

Seedlings should never be taken di-
rect from the greenhouse to the gar
den. You should harden them off
gradually by putting the boxes out of
doors whenever the weather is suit
able during the daytime, says Home
Chat.
A few days of such airing makes
all the little plants sturdy and indie
pendent, SO that when they are care
fully transferred from the boxes to
the flower beds they suffer no shock
from the sudden change

When Flies Come.

To prevent flies from settling on pic
ture frames and chandeliers, boil three
or four onions in pint of water and
apply the water with a soft brush
In many city homes or where houses
are to be closed for the summer COM
mon unbleached cheesecloth is used
to protect pictures and frames from
flies. Cut a piece of cloth large
enough to go all around the picture
Let the picture face down on this, put
the cloth around and haste up at the
back. A glazed tarletan that is trans.
parent makes a still better covering.

adopted an agreement to discharge
any and all employees found carrying

the oil fields about Beaumont, Tex,

France established the weekly rest
day and employers liability last year;
now church and state have been COM
pletely separated, and the present gov
eminent is committed to an eight-hour
day, old age pensions, purchase OF
railroads by the state and the transfer
of the heaviest burden of taxation up
on the rich by means of income and in
heritance taxes.
Mechanics of all classes in France,
such as carpenters, plasterers, black
smiths, ETC., receive 81 to $1.20 a
day. High-grade machinists receive a
little more In Paris the wages are a
little higher than in the provinces,
but not much. Common laborers re-
ceive from 40 to so cents a day, dress
makers and milliners 40 cents. Until
a few months ago, the laboring man
worked IL hours per day. Women are
not now allowed to work at night and
child labor is prohibited.
The annual Labor day parade in
Pittsburg may soon be relegated to the

GOOD UNION TALK
Straight From the Shoulder and From
Business Concern.

People who skip the advertisements
often miss some mighty good reading
matter. The Wageworker is carrying
an advertisement for R. l.. Mcdonald
&, Co., of ST. Joseph, manufacturers Of
Red Seal and Unicorn" shirts and
overhalls. Last weeks advertisement
read as follows
I'VE are not selling UNION LA
Bells We do not ask you to buy RED
SEAL or UNICORN shirts because
they are the products of one of the
largest and oldest union manufac-
tories in this country, operating the
most intelligent free labor under the
most modern sanitary conditions.
But we do feel that we have right
to ask you to investigate and, if our
claims as to unequaled intrinsic value
are substantiated, to favor our pro-
ducts with your patronage, not only
in protest against the unfair stuff with
which the markets are teming, but in
strict justice to yourself. Is this too
much to expect of union men,"
That's good straight talk from the
shoulder. People who employ union
labor have every right to expect the
patronage of union men and women.
Especially is this true when the pro-
duct is equal to the best and
superior to any non-union product on
the market. The R. L. Mcdonald Co.
has employed union labor exclusively
ever since it engaged in business. Its
factory is a model in every respect
1t pays the best wage scale in the bust
ness Its product has no superior
price, and quality both considered
And surely r. l.. Mcdonald & Co.
have right to expect the patronage OF
trades unionists.
o. you ought to read the advertise
ments every week. Besides paying you
in dollars and cents it will pay you in
information.

To Can Reets.

Small beets are the best for can
ming. Wash as for present use, and
leave an inch stalk at top to prevent
bleeding. Boil in slightly sailed wa
ter; peel as for table. Have ready in
a neighboring saucepan enough cider
vinegar to cover the beets. You must
use your own judgment as to quality
To each quart of vinegar add two ia
blespoonfuls of sugar, a teaspoonful of
strained onion juice and teaspoonful
each of pepper and salt. Bring the
vinegar to the boil. Pack the beets
while hot into heated cans and cover
with the vinegar from the boiling

Judge j. A. Williams, one of the
three members of the Nebraska Rail-
way commission, recently spoke at
Palmyra, Neb., on the question of rail-
road regulation. In part, Mr.. Williams
said:
1T is becoming the settled convic-
ton of the thinking citizens Of this
country that the railroad business
must be more and more regulated by
the people If justice is to be done.
There must be more rigid regulation of
interstate traffic by, the congress of the
United States and regulation of the
interstate traffic, that is, traffic that
begins and ends within the state by
the people through their Legislature
and bodies to which the legislature
delegates powers, as for example, the
railroad commissions. The railroad
Having been created by the state it is
naturally and rightfully under the con-
troll OF the state. It Is created for a
public service, and SO that it may be
able to serve the most people it is
given the right to have land con-
demned through which to run its
tracks. Being given such an extra
ordinary right it is bound to treat all
people alike and treat them all fairly
and justly. 1t is bound to serve the
poor man as faithfully as it serves
the rich man and to be as thoughtful
OF the safety and rights of an orphan
child as it is of the safety and rights
OF the most prominent man in the
state.
I'VE are going to try to see to 1t
that the managers of these public SER
vice corporations shall be made to
understand that in defying law they
are NO better than the ignorant,
bloody-handed anarchist, and that
from a moral standpoint they are
held to a vastly greater responsibility
to the people than are the vicious
Williams who place distractions on the
tracks and blow up honest men.
I'VE want to see to it that all
communities shall be treated alike so
far as it can possibly be done and that
the different lines of railroads in this
state shall provide mutual connections
SO that the greatest number of pec-
pie can be served with the least de-
lay and the least cost consistent with
just and reasonable compensation for
the service rendered. A great many
people believe that there is no good
| reason why Nebraska should not have
an adjustment of local distance rates
similar to the adjustment reached in
Iowa, IlylinOis and other states And
as complete refutation of the state
ment that the local distance rate sys-
tenn of Iowa has retarded the progress
of that state it may be said that from
1890 to 1900 the population of Iowa in
creased Is per cent, while during the
same period Nebraska increased only
| Z Of 1 per cent. And furthermore a
good many people are beginning to
think that the people of one town
should have the same rate for the
same distance and same material as
any other town in the state.

character so strong and reliable that
the pen of the libeller can not be made
sharp enough or long enough to reach
the heart of their life. We want men
and women so truly encased with pub
lie confidence that the tongue of the
slanderer can not be found keen
enough or long enough to reach them
where they live. I think we have now

Independent that they can look the
fiatterer in the eye and shame him
from his wicked folly; who are SO
strong and independent that they can
look upon million or billion dollars
as nothing more than. heap Of rub
bish when interposed between them
and duty. Until man can do that,
admidst the calls or jeers of million
men, and until he can stand alone for
duty against all the devils of earth and
he'll, If need be, he is not yet fit for
public office.
Il think that there is good deal Of
misapprehension as to what our great
president thinks in regard to the part
general government should take in the
regulation of our railroad affairs. In
his Memorial Day address I fail to find
any warrant for the belief that he in
tends to urge the assumption by con-
gress of the control of the transporta.
ton business in the states. A great
many most excellent citizens seem to
think that that is what the president
is tending towards. Notwithstanding
the fact that the railroad magnates are
trying to make it appear that the presi-
dent is with them in their efforts to
take control of the railroads from the
states of the Union still we do not be-
lieve for a moment that the president
contemplates any such revolutionary
movement.
"The history of every state that has
had strong and loyal commission
under a vigorous law enacted by the
people in the interest of all the people
shows that for correcting abuses, Sc
curing justice to rich and poor alike,
and for restraining the arrogance of
great bodies o. capitalists, unhamper-

vantage ground of independence as
the representative of all the people,

IN the presence of personal threats

It should stand always for square

and the humblest citizen. II a corpora

it should be given credit for its stand.
If corporations or citizens do wrong
the law should be enforced.

TRAINING ANIMALS.

obeyins the Word Regardless of the

1t is true that animals can be taught
to obey tone alone-that is, a mere
sound having no place among the lists
of words. So may a human being.
Therefore that proves nothing 1t is
likewise true that you may say thing
in tone that contradicts the word,
and the animal may or may not re-

effort will produce the same effect on
any sensitive child, woman or man.
Again, horses and dogs are the most
sensitive of all brutes, the most easily
offended, encouraged, discouraged.
Therefore, need one be surprised If he
