CHAMPIONS LOSE
Imperial at Last Wins From Fl Centro
 in a Loosely Played Game.

in a Loosely Played Game. A large and mildly interested crowd watched Imperial defeat 'El Centro in a listlessly played |game Sunday. The termination |of the league series and uncer- |tainty regarding future arrange |ments had their effect on the players, whose work was by no means up to standard. Thomp- son, who has been playing with |Holtville, was in the box for Im- perial and pitched creditably. Neither team was up to full strength, Fl Centro being with |out the services of Ferlin.
 It is apparent that the excel- lence of future games depends largely on the making of a defin- ite and satisfactory arrangement between the teams so that the men will know what they are playing for.
 The score by innings:
 23 4 5 6 z 89 Imperial 014 % 1 O. 6 Fl Centro 0 4 900 = 4
 Struck out by Thompson IA, by Abbott 2. Bases on balls off Thompson 2, off Abbott 8. Hit by pitched ball by Thompson 4, by Abbott 0. Hits off Thompson 5 singles 1 double, off Abbott 8 singles 1 double.

A Box Social

A box social, under the aus pices of the Ladies Aid of the Methodist church, was held in the Blackinton hall Wednesday evening. It was one of the most enjoyable events of the winter and was largely attended. Selections by Mrs. Nettie M. Hayden, soprano soloist, the Fl Centro male quartette, the orchestra, Miss Swindle, Miss Tout and Miss Futile, provided an entertainment of more than ordinary excellence. The box feature of the evening was amusing and enjoyable.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 9.-The Russo
crisis. Alarmed at the unchecked
Turkish penetration of Persia and
mobilization in Armenia, the Russian
government has dispatched compact
expedition of 10000 select troops from
central Russia with full war equip
ment to the frontier.
The war Office has drawn up plans
of the expedition and submitted them
hurriedly for legislative enactment to
the duma Friday. The committee OF
national defense assembled in virtually

money necessary to carry out the
plans. AT the same session the war
department obtained sanction for a
floating batteries along the Baltic
coast which, owing to the weakness or
the navy, is at the mercy of Germany.
Rome, Feb. 9.-The situation in the
Balkans which suddenly has attracted
attention here through the reported
recall of Price Urusoff, Russian ambas-
sador to Austria Hungary, seems to be
grayer than official statements make it
appear. Austria and Germany charge

venge for her failure in the far east

east and is resuming her ancient ira

COOKING Mushrooms,

Among the many different ways of
preparing them there are two simple
ones-broiled and saute-which prove
best. on account of their retaining the
mushrooms own flavor. In all in
stances cut the stem off close to the
gills and peel the cap from edge to
crown. If to be broiled cook them
over low fire. laying them upon an
oyster broiler, placing, the gills down
for few moments with fork turn.
Carefully scatter very little salt over
them and, previous to their getting
tender place a pit of butter in the CEN
ter Of each mushroom. In melting it
will pass through the gills, improving
them greatly. Serve on hot toast,
which allows all of the mushroom
flavor to come forth. In saute place
them in saucepan with a tritle of but
ter-nothing else-cooking them, be-
meath a cover, about three-quarters Of
an hour over boiling water. The brown
juice cooks out, which moistens the
toast. Cream may be used 1t is i'm
portant to serve them hot, for a draft
or chill is sure to spoil the best
cooked dish.

NEW IDEAS IN COOKERY.
candied citron and Banana Pie Are
Both Recommended.

A novelty for the home candy max.
ers is candied citron. Go make it.
Feel and core the citron and cut
1t into strips or cubes. Weigh the
fruit, and to each pound of it allow
a pound of granulated sugar and a
teaspoonful Of water. Put sugar and
water into a porcelain-lined kettle and
cook to strip, laying the citron in it
as soon as the sugar is dissolved.
When the fruit is tender take it out
OF the kettle with a perforated spoon,
and spread on broad platter while
you add little ginger to the sirup,
then boil it until it is thick.
Stir in little lemon juice, return
the citron to the kettle and stir until
candied and thick with sugar, then
drain and lay on platters to dry.
Banana pie is the latest for the pie
weary. This does not mean that the
fresh fruit is sliced up-it is a much
richer fruit than this, and is made Of
evaporated bananas. They are treat
ed like dried apples Of old before be-.
ing made up into pastry.
The evaporated bananas hold a
dozen things for the house that gets
tired of it's bill of fare. Breakfast
food, pancake flour and cookies with
dainty flavor all their own are made
from the banana flour, "of which,"
say the cooking experts, you can
make anything that can be made of
white -four" Banana figs, which are
dried in their own strip, are new
form of the fruit to add to the Christ
mas preserve table, and banana strip
is put up as a rival of maple strip in
flavor
A noted Boston cook has a trick of
substituting flour for one of the eggs
ordinarily required to every quart of
milk in custard pudding.
The recipe calls for quart of milk,
four tablespoonful of flour, three
eggs, half teaspoonful of SALT a
tablespoonful of butter, teasponful
OF vanilla and half cup of granu-
lated sugar. Reserve half a cup Of
the milk and put the rest on the
stove to boil Mix the flour, after sift-
ing, with the cold milk and gradually
stir them into the boiling milk, taking
care that Jumps do not form. When
thick add the egg yolks, which should
have been beaten with the sugar, salt
and extract. Then take the boiler
from the stove and add the butter.
Put Immediately into baking dish
just small enough to put inside of a
pretty pudding dish when ready to
serve. After baking cover with a
meringue made with the whites of the
eggs that were left over after making
the pudding. Serve very cold.

They packed the pavements, crowded

CHICKEN HAS TuBgRcuLAR.
Housewife is Mortified by Discovery
of Its Condition.

Council Bluffs Tuberculosis from
a hitherto unsupported source has
sent a chill through Council Bluffs
housewives. Mrs. G. j. Stillwell, re-
siding on Glen avenue, purchased a
chicken from one OF the local mar
kets. While dressing the chicken
which looked fat and plump, she saw
something that attracted her atten-
ton as not having been observed i'll
fowls before. They were white spots
under the skin of the appearance of
small patches of fat.
Mrs. Stillwell cut out portion of
the flesh with it and the liver, which
she sent to DR.. Miller, state health in
spector. Later in the day Mr.. Miller
reported to Mrs. Stillwell that the
white spots she saw in the chicken
were tubercular pus spots. He also
told her that the liver of the fowl was
filled with pus and that the chicken
had been a walking invitation for
death to those who might have eaten
it,
