FOR LOVERS OF GOOD THINGS.
Three Reeises That Will Be Certain
to Please Them.

washington Pie.-Six yolks of eggs,
three light cups of sifted -four, two
teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar, two
cups of sifted sugar. all mixed thor
oughly; add the whipped whites of
six eggs, and just as the cakes are to
be baked add four teaspoonfuls of
sweet milk, with one teaspoonful of
carbonate of soda in it; bake in jelly
cake pans in quick oven. The mock
charlotte for filling between the cakes
is: One pint of sweet milk in a double
boiler and when it begins to boil put
in two eggs, whites and yolks well
beaten, one cup of sifted sugar, one
cup of sifted flour, and stir until thick
Flavor with vanilla and mix chocolate
with it, or keep it plain, and spread
between cakes and sift powdered
sugar on top of cake.
Marshmellow Souffie.-Whites of IL
eggs, II tablespoonfuls of gelatine
dissolved in half a cup of warm wa
ter, one tablespoonful of vanilla and
half of the juice of lemon, all
whipped stiff and put on ice. Serve
this with maraschino cherries on top
and yellow boiled custard, or whipped
cream around it.
Lady Baltimore Cake.-A big >ake,
or four layers; one cup of butter,
two cups of sifted sugar, three and
and one-half cups of sifted flour, one
cup of sweet milk. two level teaspoon
fuls OF baking powder, whites of six
eggs whipped stiff, one teaspoonful of
vanilla, and one teaspoonful of rose
water; add the whites of eggs last.
Filling and icing: Three cups of
sifted granulated sugar in one cup of
boiling water, whites of four eggs
whipped stiff. To this icing add one
cup of chopped raisins and one cup
of grated pecans, and six figs, cut in
small pieces; mix thoroughly, then put
between the layers of cake, and ice
on top and sides of the cake.

ORDERLY WAYS THE BEST.
How Much Time Frequently May Be
Saved In the Household.

AS careful as housewives are. they
sometimes neglect to keep the dress
er drawers in good order and the
handkerchiefs, sheets, stockings and
the like are thrown in any place which
will conveniently hold them. One
would have far more room and would
have much less bother if the articles
were all placed together. After the
laundry comes home put all sheets
together, all pillow cases and articles
of like kind in one pile, tie with
white tape and give them a place in
the drawer where they will always be
found. There is quite an art in fold
ing clothes to make each piece small
and easily packed. 1t is nice to have
all articles arranged like this. Place
between the various packages the lit
tie envelopes of sandal wood. 1t has
a lasting and delicate odor that is
pleasing to the most refined taste.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-06-20
A Valuable Tip.

With many washings blankets are
apt to shrink, and weary folk know
the discomfort of using one too short
for the bel Here is an excellent rem.
edy: Obtain a strip of stout, un-
bleached calico or sheeting the width
of the blanket, the depth depending on
how much additional length is needed
Machine this securely on to the end of
the blanket. Place this end at the foot
of the bed, tucking the calico well
under the mattress.
The outer edges of old sheets worn
in the middle can be utilized in this
way instead of new calico.-Home

Tomato Pie.

Chop fine any bits of cold meat, sew
eral different kinds will make the dish
more tasty. Line a dish with bread
crumbs, then put in a layer of the
meat well seasoned. and few bits
of butter; then layer of tomatoes.
Then more crumbs, meat, tomatoes,
etc, until all materials are used. Add
any gravy left over, to moisten, or
make little stock from the meat
bones, as the pies should be as moist
as a scallop. Bake in hot oven until
nicely Drowned.

LIGHT FOR SUMMER
HIGH TIME TO DISCARD HEAVY
DRAPERIES.
Cotton or Silk Fabrics Most Cool and
Cheerful in Appearance-cal-
cutta Net Also Used Ex-
tensively in Many Ways.

Heavy draperies should be replaced
by lighter weight cotton or silk fab
RIGS that are cool and cheerful in ap-
pearance. Curtains of Calcutta net are
reasonable and suitable for various
purposes. The net comes in all colors
and in several meshes. 1t is As inches
wide and so cents yard. The green
and tan shades are good. The white
and ecru wash well, and to avoid
shrinking, pull it gently into shape
when nearly dry Calcutta net is also
used extensively for den and living
room pillows. The cushions first have
slip of plain color and over this a
cover of the net in a suitable shade.
This gives a lattice effect to the pill
lows which is quite pleasing.
Then there are silkolines, taffetas,
soft silks and dimities, as well as
denims and cretonnes. Silkolines are
soft and pretty, but are most too
fiimsy for satisfactory curtains. Scrim
increases in popularity and great i'm
provement in weaves has been &C
complished the past few years. Linen
taffeta is very popular, and burlap is
fects, and is available for walls as well
as draperies. Dimity launders well
and can therefore be kept fresh and
clean.
Priscilla silk, coming in every shade
at 80 cents a yard, can be used with
cream Calcutta net to give color zone
to room. This silk resembles the
heavier raw silk used for draperies,
but which costs $1.50 yard. The silk
curtains should hang straight down,
and not reach more than four inches
below the window. Many prefer cur
tains only to the sill, but allowance
must then be made for shrinkage of
the washable under curtain, as at all
times both net and silk curtains
should be the same length.
OF course the domestic and import
ed cretonnes are handsomer each year
and still lead in cotton fabrics for
hangings and furniture coverings. EX-
quisite designs in domestic cretonne
can be had as low as 2S cents yard,
and are shown side by side with the
imported, which retail from 30 cents
to $3.50 a yard. The higher-priced
imported cretonnes are double width.
The demand this season is for the sin
gle width grades, which cost from 30
to so cents yard. AS over draperies,
cretonnes are effective. They should
not be hung next to the glass, for they
will fade rapidly. Plain net or scrim,
between them and the light, protects
the draperies. Some of the large shop
windows are showing the effect of a
room done entirely in cretonne. Where
it is employed lavishly, there is danger
In OVERRIDING 1t. This season the Gre
tonne in floral pattern is preferred,
and although blue, mauve and pale
yellow are in demand, pinks and reds
are used to greater extent.-N. Y.

Gamma Rhubarb.

If one has canned rhubarb it cs~a be
used during the winter to mix with
other fruits for pies and the filler
is never detected. 1t can be mixed
with apples for pies, is delicious when
added to berries and cranberries are
more delicate when mixed half and
hs;f with rhubarb. One way of pre-
pairing rhubarb is to cook it until done
without adding sugar, though often
persons find it keeps better If pre-
served in the ordinary manner, with
less sugar than is needed to complete
ly sweeten it. Add but little water,
for the rhubarb contains great deal
of its own liquid and needs only
enough to start steam. There are so
many uses for this cheap article of
food that a dozen or two dozen jars
will not come amiss when fruit is
needed in the winter.

1t is said of the late "Plunger" Riley
Grammar, who won and lost several
fortunes by betting on anything and
everything, from horse race to how
far a peanut would roll down hill,
that he was exemplary in his personal
habits, never touching either liquor or
tobacco, and model of good con-
duct in his family relations. Another
case of Buck Fanshawe, appar-
emily, who. according to his dis.
tinguished biographer, Bret Harte.
had his faults at the gaming table.
but who never went back on his
mother.

Spiced Salmon.

Select a flat can of salmor---the
kind usually put up as "st,imon
steaks" as this makes a better ap-
pearance when served. Open careful
ly, drain off the liquid, and remove
the skin and central bone, keeping
the fish as whole as possible. Place
carefully in an agate or earthen dish
of sufficient depth to allow of its be-
ing covered with liquid.
Take as much good vinegar as will
be needed and to each quart add one
teaspoonful of peppercorns, half
teaspoonful of whole allspice, dozen
cloves, one small white onion, one
half bay leaf, and a half teaspoon
full of salt.
Heat slowly, boil for five minutes,
then pour Immediately over the dish.
Let stand for at least IL hours before
serving. 1t will keep well for four or
five days.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-06-20
Prevent Line Twisting.

One of the greatest annoyances and
bothers which one has to put up with
on washday is clothes line which is
constantly twisting, and if the line is
stiff one the trouble is increased
fourfold. To prevent the line from
twisting hold the ball of rope in the
left hand and wind with the right hand
until the twist appears, then change
the ball to the right hand and twist
with the left hand, and the twist will
disappear. AS soon as another twist
appears change back to the left hand.
Continue to wind in this manner until
the line is all wound up.

Quick Coffee Cake.

Take three tablespoons of batter be-
fore you mix your bread. Break into
this two eggs. one tablespoon and a
half of melted butter, one cup OF
sugar, and scant cup of milk. Beat
this until well mixed. Then add a
cup and half of flour and two tea
spoons of baking powder. Stir up
again and spread in pan to bake On
top sprinkle cinnamon and a half
cup of sugar. Apples or raisins may
be added if liked. Bake in quick oven
at once.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-06-20
A Popular Dish,

A popular dish served in one of the
restaurants consists of half baked
potato, unpeeled, with enough of the
inside scooped out to make cup,
which is filled with shirred egg
dressed with white sauce favored with
cheese. The potato makes an excel
lent ramekin for the purpose, and it
retains the heat well, and makes the
dish more apetizing.

Pumice Stone for Pans.

When washing kitchen utensils,
such as skillets, frying pans, ETC.,
scour with fiat piece of pumice
stone, which can be procured at any
drug store for a few cents. and lasts
for some time. You will find it a good
help in keeping such articles bright
and clean.
The Colorado statesman., 1908-06-20
Fresh Douqhnuts.

Try placing doughnuts in hot oven
for few minutes before serving. Then
put them. one at time. in small
bag containing little powdered sugar
and shake well. In this way dough-
nuts several days old seem nearly as
fresh as those Just made.

DAIRY COWS IN STALLS.
Make Their Fastening as Secure ard
Comfortable as Possible.

How difficult it is to change the
opinions and the customs of men in
anything! There is perhaps no harder
task than to change the methods by
which farmers keep their cows. The
old stanchion is everywhere present
except in the southern part of the
country where COWS are not tied UP
much. In the cold parts of the coun
try the old rigid stanchion is the most
convenient method for fastening cows
and it is used. 1t is convenient for
the owner of the cows, but not for the
cows.
A good many people have been
working on the problem of obtaining
method of fastening COWS that would
be all strong parts and no weak parts
Such a method has not been discov-
cred and will not be. Every plan has
its drawbacks. The first thing to be
considered is the comfort of the cows
for it is evident that any plan that
does not look to the comfort of the
cows fails in the first essential
We have now a great many patent
in different parts of the country many
kinds of stalls that are not patented
bear a close resemblance to those
that are. At most of our dairy shows
new ideas in COW stalls are brought
out to the public view, and most of
them have in them much merit.
We notice that nearly all of these
Ilfo toy lot he So1
dom of the COW, at least so far as her
head and neck are concerned, says
the Farmers Review. Another point
that all provide for is that the cow be
kept clean at all times, so that the
least possible amount of cleaning may
be required. The third point that is
made much of is the security of the
COW, appliances being such that the
COW cannot get loose in the night and
injure other COWS. This is a matter
of great deal of Importance, and this
was one of the chief virtues of the
old rigid stanchion. It might make
the COW uncomfortable, but it would
not let her loose at any time of the
day or night The new kinds of
stanchions provide for this security
and also make the COW comfortable.
Every farmer should seriously con-
slider the question of keeping his COWS
in winter in stalls that are both COM
Portable and clean. The patent stalls,
or the rights to use them, de- not cost
much, and then patented designs are
numerous. So man can find a suit
able arrangement somewhere if he
has mind to. There is a Decessity
for this as much in the barn of the
farmer that owns four cows as in the
barn of the farmer that owns 40 COWS.
We find most of the latest improve
ments in the barns of farmers or dairy
men that keep large number of cows.
But the others should not be back
ward in adopting them.

Tighter Bust Line
Is Fashions Decree

The newer gowns and waists show
a tighter bust line than in many years,
and as all skirts are fitted closely
over the hips, underwear must be Sc
lected which will assist in securing a
sheathlike, or, as it is called, hip
less dress skirt.
To effect this, underwear must be
chosen that has little fulness and no
unnecessary gathers or pleats.
The petticoat pantaloon is being
universally worn, either as a separate
garment or joined at the waist to a
boned corset cover. The latter is also
a necessity, owing to the new bust
line.
These petticoat pantaloons are a
great improvement over the divided
skirt
They are draped over the hips with
out a ripple, being circular, conse.
quently bias, without darts or other
seamings.
Both divisions of the garment fare
to a width of yard and a half at the
knees, to which still more fullnSss IL
given by added ruffles, long or short
Soft, undressed materials, such as
China silk, pongee or nainsook, arc
employed.

WOLVES AND BEAR
IN HARD BATTLE
FRENCH COUNTESS WITNESSES
DESPERATE FIGHT IN CANA
DIAN WILDS.
RECOUNTS LIVELY EXPERIENCE
Lay Behind WincfaIi While Four
Ravenous Timber Brutes At
tack Bruin-Finaly Ends
Unequal Contest.

Seattle, Wash.-With four ravenous
timber wolves battling fiercely with a
black bear in the wilds along the
upper Peace river, in Canada, Count
ess Meherenc de st. Pierre of ST.
Brieuc, Brittany, France, lay concealed
behind a windfall less than 200 feet
away and watched the struggle for
nearly quarter of an hour. This oc.
Cured several weeks ago while the
titled woman from across the Atlantic
was making a trip through the unex-
plored region north of Edmonton, with
only Indian guides for her compan-
ions. Countess de st. Pierre, who is in
Seattle at present, in speaking of the
struggle, said:
For time the honors of war were
about even, and so intent were the
participants upon the fight that they
did not notice the approach of the In
dian guide and myself. We had been
breaking trail through a heavily
wooded forest the Indian making his
way through the timber and under
brush without any more noise than the

his moccasins. Following his instruc-
tons, l placed my feet in the tracks
left by his moccasins, and in this way
we were able to advance quietly.
MY first impulse when | came upon
the four wolves fighting desperately
with the bear was to shoot. l raised
my rifle, but suddenly the spirit of the
struggle seemed to take possession of
me and motioned to the guide to drop
behind a fallen tree. From the con
cealment thus afforded we watched the
battle for several minutes.
"The timber wolves assailed the bear
on all sides, swapping viciously at his
heels and springing away before the
slow-moving bruin could turn. AS the
