OLDDICKEY LOYAL
TO TOM MARSHALL
Republicans Stand by Him in His
Candidacy for Senate.
The Axtell. Goddard.Keyes Combination Elect
One Delegate At EIlendale After Fierce
Contest-The Lone Delegate is
Mayor Potter.

The opposition to Tom Marshall did
not accomplish much at the caucuses
held Monday evening to elect delegates
to the county convention to be held at
Monango tomorrow. The only serious
contest was in Glendale where the
battle was fierce and strong. When
the smoke had cleared away it was
found that DR.. c. H. Potter had
squeezed in in the First ward by the
narrow margin of four votes. Twelve
of the thirteen delegates from that city
are in favor of Tom Marshall as against
the Axtell-G Goddard -Keyes combination.
Axtell was beaten in the Third ward
by ten votes.
1t now looks as if things would be
very harmonious at Monango. Of the
outlying districts so far heard from
Marshall delegations have been elected.
Axtell, Keyes and Goddard were candi-
dates to go to Monango and their
tickets with them went down to defeat.
Potter was saved by the use of stickers.
1t is said that Keyes was betting next
day that he would be seated at the
Minot convention, but how is he going
to do it, if his own ward repudiates
him? The plan of. the Axtell bunch
was to bolt at Monango and take con-
testing delegation to Minot, and evident
ly they had promises that if the stall
warts controlled they would be seated
at Minot.
The friends of Tom Marshall at
Glendale did valiant service and they
are to be congratulated on their excel
lent work. It may be that the Ellen
dale papers will blame the whole thing
to Clay Mccartney as they did the
result of the city election there last
week. Keep away from Clay, boys.
He's a bad man-to elect Doc. mayor
of Glendale and then turn around and
elect Doc. delegate to the Monango
convention. What's that?,--a> 49, ~.

PRUNE SERVED IN NEW WAY.
Prepared Thus 1t Makes the Daintiest
Sweet Imaginable.

If you want the daintiest sweet
imaginable TO nibble on this afternoon,
go right ont to the kitchen now and
put some prunes on to soak. Several
hours later, perhaps right after din
neT stew them in the same water.
Then drain them, and when they are
cold, take the stones out, just as you
would treat dates.
Boil together IL cups of sugar, one
half square chocolate and three-fourths
cup of milk until a thick sirup is
formed; then add one-half cup chopped
English walnut or pecan meats. Re
move from the fire; add a half-tea-
spoon vanilla and beat until creamy
Fill the prunes with the mixture and
press the edges together. Dissolve
an ounce of gum arabic in pint of
water and dip each plume in it; then
in granulated sugar. Set in a warm
place until dry, and you won't recog-
nize your humble old friend, the prune,
in its new guise.

UTENSILS FOR THE KITCHEN.
New ContTivances That Simplify
Work Geek Has 10 Do.

Among the new contrivances for the
kitchen is knife for pairing potatoes
and cutting them into luted strips.
Compared with the complicated uten-
sil that has been constructed for this
purpose the knife seems wonderfully
simple. II slices and flutes with one
stroke, the action being the same as
when using an ordinary straight
bladed knife.
The grooves in the blade of this
huter make the ornamental lines in
the slices, giving a dainty appearance
to the potato.
Grape fruit has become popular
since doctors began TO recommend it
as one OF the articles Of diet conducive
10 longevity. 1t is a difficult task to
remove the seeds from a grape fruit
without spelling the appearance of the
fruit. A new knife especially designed
for this purpose is being shown. 1t
has long, curved, thin blade. This
blade is inserted into the heart of the
grape fruit, and with a skillful twist
the superfluOus part can be removed
without damaging the contour of the
fruit.
Several new styles of tunnels are
provided with strainers. One shows
the funnel with strainer attached and
also some that can be used apart. One
OF the best of the latter style is a
strainer that fits into the outlet of the
funnel. 1t is a bulb-shaped contrivance
about the size of a five-cent piece, and
1t hts snugly into the bottom of the
funnel. 1t can be left there or taken
out if desired.
A bit more elaborate is the strainer
attached to the funnel, and it has the
advantage over the other of being al
ways in place. The strainer can be
lifted back when not needed. When
straining is desirable it is dropped
over the top of the funnel and held
there by a catch.

TURPENTlkE IN The HONE.
lnnumerable Uses fer Which It Really
is invaluable.

After a housekeeper fully realizes
the worth Of turpentine in a household
she is never willing to be without a
supply Of it. 1t gives quick relief to
burns; is an excellent application for
cOrns; and is good for rheumatism
and sore thToats.
Turpenune is sure preventive
against moths; by dropping a trife in
the drawers, trunks and cupboards it
will render the garments secure from
injury during the summer.
1t will also keep ants from the clos
cts and storerooms if a few drops are
put in the corners and upon the
shelves, while it is sure destruction
to bed bugs and will effectualIy drive
them away from their haunts if thor
oughly applied to all the joints of the
bedstead. It Injuries neither clothing
nor furniture.
One tablespoonful added to a bucket
Of warm water is excellent for clean
ing paint.
Turpentine is used in laundry work
in conjunction with ammonia to re-
h9ye paint stains from cQlored clothes.
The two liquids are mixed and the
stain dipped in and rubbed until it
disappears. 1t is also used il cold
water starch to make the iron pass
along the fabric smoothly. Proportions

Often the binding of ones dress will
leave a dirty black mark across the
instep of dainty tan shoes and this
simply refuses to be cleaned with the
ordinary tan polishes. The shoes can
be washed, but the rag must be merely
dampened and rubbed on BRphtha
soap or any yellow soap, and all Of the
leather must be washed off. Rinse the
cloth and wipe the shoes and rub dry

sTIFFEN LOWER PART ONLY.
Mistake to Iron Bodice Part of Any
Under Garment.

The lower part only of a petticoat is
st1fened, as the softer the bodice part
OF any undergarment the more com
Portable it is TO the wearer. But two
thirds OF the skirt should be stiffened.
The degree of starch used depends
on the quality of the material, but as
these skirts are frequently made of
fairly strong muslin they require less
Stifening than thin material.
They may be stiffened in equal parts
Of starch and water, or at least two
Of starch to One-third of water. unless
they are desired very stiff, when they
must be dipped in full starch. They
should then be dried and damped and
they are ready for ironing.
To iron a petticoat, being with the
tapes, straps and then the bodice. The
skirt may then be irOned on a board.
The skirt should be folded into a strip,

back seam; then double the strip into
two, or fold in three according to the
length of the skirt.

ICov.rI1o for Feather Beds.

For a covering for feather beds
make a slip of cotton cloth eight
inches longer and wider than the ar
ticle to be covered, leaving an open

On each inside corner sew tapes six
inches long; also sew tapes six inches
long on the four corners of bed or
comfort, slip bed in cover, tie the
tapes, and either sew the opening at
side or use buttons and buttonholes.
Cotton challies can be used for COM

To Make Roasts Tender.

Try EAis once and you will always
follow it. When you put your roast
in the oven, put a small dish of vine
gar in also. 1t will not only keep your
meat from burning, but will make it
much more tender than it would other
wise be, improving the flavor as we'll.
A teaspoonful of vinegar put in a five
pound pot roast will make the meat
more tender and palatable.

TO Prepare Them-Peaehes and
Oranges Make an Excellent
Dessert Dish.


Nothing is prertier for the table
than jelly or ices served in orange
baskets or hdlved oranges with the
two sides tied together with ribbon.
One way 10 prepare these baskets is
to draw a circle around the orange,
cutting through save for an inch right
IN the middle Of each side for a han
die. Cut away the skin along each
side Of this handle and carefully re-
move the pulp Of the orange from the
spaces left. Throw the rinds into ice
water so they will not dry out before
using, Wipe carefully and fill with
any mixture desired
I If one has a very sharp knife the
top Of the orange and each side of the
handle can be cut into scallops with
A goodsized circle, cut in the center
OF each. Or the handles can be left
plain and twined with smilax or tied
with a bow Of paler yellow, violet or
green ribbon.

When this has dissolved put the sauce
pan over a moderate fire. Beat the

through. Watch it carefully and when
commencing to boil remove the scum
as il rises. Boil until the scum ceases
10 rise, then remove from the fire and
either bottle it for future use, or use
IT at once. This viii keep for a month
or more if made alright. The above
is the old-fashiOned method. but it is
the best.
