Do Not knead Bread

Many people do not make their own
bread because they cannot knead it
properly, not knowing that a superior
quality of bread can be made without
this labor. Mix your sponge in the
usual way and when it rises stir in
with a wire fork enough flour to roll.
First flour the bowl and dip your chop
ping knife into flour; chop the bread
sponge by drawing the knife through
1t, but do not pound it, adding more
-four as needed. When it has been
cut so that pieces are about a half
inch square put together smoothly
enough for each loaf and put into pan.
70 rise for baking.

PAPER FOR VARIOUS ROOMS.
Wall Decorations to Add to the Coki.
ness cf the Home.

Light but not bright should be the
guiding note when selecting the papers
with which to decorate the walls OF
your home.
Where there is light there is always
a cheerfulness which nothing else can
produce, but brightness of colors soon
er or later will affect the nerves.
Where the rooms are small a small
figured paper should be chosen, as this
will make the rooms appear larger,
and vice versa with the rooms which
appear too large.
Here are few suggestions: For the
Vesubule, grove-like effect: for the
halls. plain felt paper or tapestry de
sign; for the bedrooms, a fiowered de
sign, with lighter or a darker body ac.
cording to the amount of light ad.
mitted to room.
For the parlor a quite decorative de.
sign, chosen with judgment to match
furniture; for sitting room and dining
room, arbor or orchard effects are eff
fective and becoming; bathroom, kitch.
en- and laundry are best painted.
One paper should not be placed over
another, as disease germs breed there
easily, and the thickness causes the
paper to fall from the walls.

INTERESTING TEST OF OIL POTS
IN CANON CITY Or
CHARD.
RISES
ORGANIZED EFFORT TO PROTECT
FRUIT IN THE ARkANsAS
VALLEY.

Under date of June 23d the Denver
Republican printed the following from
its correspondent at Canon City, Colo
rado:
Ever since the disastrous freeze Of
last April, when large part of the
fruit of the Arkansas valley was killed.
the fruit growers of this community
have made special study OF the sub
ject Of orchard heating, with view Of
averting a similar catastrophe in fu-
ture. The county commissioners ap-
propriated $1,000 to be used in making
practical tests and gathering data con-
cerning the most approved methods in
this line.
committee recently returned from
tour of the western slope, where
heating and smudging were success
fully tried, convinced of the success
Of the methods there employed The
committee of Colorado fruit growers
sent to California secured much valu-
able data in this connection, and sta
tistics have also been gathered from
Florida
The first test was made in the Trout
man orchard last night. where hum
dreds of fruit growers had gathered. An
acre of orchard was covered by 100
oil pots and the pots lighted at 1850
O'Clock, at which time the thermometer
stood at IS. In an hour the tempera-
ture in the heated zones was so de-
grees, while outside of it there
had been a fall to "A. At As the tenn
perature inside showed rs degrees and
outside it had gone down to &C. show
ing difference of II degrees. At 11:15
there was Il difference of 13 degrees,
the pots of burned oil making flame
six feet high, with considerable illumi-
nation. At midnight they were still
burning well and continued to do SO
until about / o'clock.
In order to insure the cooperation
of all fruit growers in the valley.
agents of the committee will canvass
the district and obtain pledges from the
| growers to cooperate, with a promise
to use the methods adopted by the
fruit growers committee, and also to
learn the number of acres of orchards,
the number of trees of all kinds, their
ages, the number of acres and differ
ent kinds of small fruit, vegetables,
alfalfa, etc. 1t is believed by the lead
ers in this movement that if the plans
being formulated are carried out, fruit
crop failures in future will be elimi-
mated, and that not only apples can be
grown without danger from frost, but
that peaches need not now be buried
as is now the custom here. It is also
believed that sweet cherries and other
tender fruits can be grown here,
matter heretofore considered impos-
Sible.

Various Orchard Heaters.

Our Colorado fruit growers, says
Field and Farm, are now throughly
aroused as to the Importance OF
smudging and are casting about for
every piece of information they may
acquire as to the best methods to fol-
low. In California where smudging
has been made more of study half
dozen schemes have been evolved.
One device is a wire basket holding
about twenty-five pounds of coal, be-
sides the kindling material necessary
to start ii. These baskets are sus-
pended in the orchards at the rate OF
from twenty-five to fifty to the acre.
They are quite effectual, but have OBJ
jections. 1t requires much labor to
keep them burning They are difficult
to light if the. kindling is damp and
they are expensive to refill. Oil pots
came into favor and proved effective
and economical. The same fault ap-
piled to them as to crude oil burners.
They make vast amount of smut.
Then came the briquettes, com
pressed combination of asphalt, oil and
sawdust. These are less expensive to
handle than the coal baskets, but are
difficult to keep burning. Portable boil
ers for creating a constant blast of
steam were rugged up and sent on
nightly rounds through the orchards.
but they were too cumbersome, expen-
sive and impracticable. The latest de-
vice is sheet-iron stove in which ma
terial similar to the briquette is burned.
This material is shipped in sacks,
loose, and has proved quite satisfac-
tory. 1t is the best thing yet produced,
but is little more expensive to install
than some others. 1t certainly does.

Dor. All these devices are employed
on the heating theory.

RECIPE FROM NEW ENGLAND,
Salt Goldfish Dinner a Great DeIicacy
Of That Section.

AS served at one of New York's
most noted hostelries the following
arrangement that has Goldfish as a
foundation is well worth sampling and
passing on. The fish itself, to begin
with, is of the best quality, thick and
delicate. This is boiled on a fish tray
or in a cloth, then taken up and placed
in the center of hot platter. Over II
is poured a generous quantity of ricl
white sauce into which the riced yolk
Oh hard boiled egg has been stirred.
little fine minced parsley is now
sprinkled over the fish and sauce,
while around the edge of the platter
are ranged slices of boiled beets,
boiled carrots, two or three small
boiled onions and small boiled pota
toes. A sauceboat passed with the
service of fish contains finely diced
fat salt pork with some of it's own fat.
Tiny pickles accompany the dish also.
1t goes without saying that the dish
should be served very hot.

Ruef Secures Bonds.

San Francisco.-Abraham Ruef was
released from Jail Monday night on
bonds aggregating sl,560.00O, the larg-
est amount ever given in a criminal
case in this state. This sum is the ag-
gyegate bail upon seventy-eight indict-
ments returned by the Oliver grand
jury, charging Ruef with bribing the
former board of supervisors in con-
nection with the granting of fran
chises to public corporations and upon
which he was arrested March s, 1907.
Twenty sureties. including Ruef's
father, sister and himself, signed the
bonds. Ruef's trial has been set for
July 18th.
1t developed during the examination
of his sureties that Ruef owned real
estate in this city which he recently
transferred to his father and sister,
upon which real estate expert on the
witness stand placed value of ST.

this property was $4,000.

Large Amount Of Bunting Used.
In the auditorium the balcony ex.
tends all the way around the huge
building, but the galleries are limited
to each end. The front of the balcony
and the fronts Of the galleries and
boxes were draped with bunting, $4,000
yards being necessary to complete this
part Of the decorative scheme. At
intervals OF five feet shields, three feet
high, were placed.
Thousands of yards of bunting
were used in draping the corridors of
the building and the walls of the bal
cony and galleries. Delegates were
supplied with small American flags
to wave when their feelings reached
a pitch that compelled an extraordin-
ary demonstration,
Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets, three of the main
thoroughfares in the city, were reve-
lations in color. On Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets there are eight iron
ornamental electric poles to block,
four on each side of the street. On
these streets the poles were draped
with red, white and blue bunting.
Wires were stretched across the street
from these poles and from each wire
two American Gags were suspended.
The flags hung over the street and
were weighted" to prevent them from
becoming tangled and torn by the
wind.

TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN BELL
ESCAPES FROM FLOODED
ZONE At LINCOLN.
BRYAN STILL LEADS
DEMOCRATS GATHERED AT DEN.
YER READY TO UNITE IN HIS
NOMINATION..

DtuNeT.-l cLupOidis >hullllidu i HeO-
dore A. Bell made a Spectacular exit
from the flooded zone OF Lincoln Mon
day afternoon in order 70 be here at
his post at noon Tuesday, when the
convention opens.
Mr.. Bell went to Lincoln from Den
yer to consult with Mr.. Bryan over his
opening speech. When tho great cleo
trical storm struck there he found he
was marooned and could not get back
to Denver in time.
The Rock Island railroad came to
Mr.. Bells assistance in the nick of
time and at the special request of Mr..
Bryan. Following out the hurried
plans of officials of the road in Denver
and Lincoln, Mr.. Bell was started out
of Lincoln on handcar at 3:25 o'clock
in the afternoon.
All the railroads running through
Lincoln were put out of business tenn
Lorarily by the immense quantities of
water that flooded the district. In
some of the stations in and around Lin
coin, the water was five feet deep over
the tracks.
The hand car Travelled eight miles
over the flooded tracks to Rockeby
In some places the water was three
and four feet deep and the man who
will hold the gavel in The opening ses-
sion of the convention had to stand on
box on the car to keep the water
from his feet.
1t at first was the intention of the
officials to get Mr.. Bell on the Kansas
City train at Belleville, which was one
hour late, but later it was found nee
essary to get out special train in or
der to get the chairman in Denver on
time.
Accordingly, a special train of three
cars was made up and sent to Rockeby,
where Mr.. Bell and three newspaper
men boarded it at O'Clock In the even
ing, expecting to arrive in Denver at
a. m. Tuesday.
Above the hubbub of the last siren
uous day before the Democratic ma
tional convention, these main develop
ments of the day stand out prom
inently:
The wave of Bryan sentiment has
increased to apparently overwhelming
and irresistible proportion, and the
nomination of the Nebraskan seems
now assured beyond any reasonable
doubt unless some unlocked for re-
versal Of present conditions occurs.
All efforts to unite on vice presi
Dental candidate have proved futile,
and the convention will begin its de-
liberations with the contest for second
place apparently wide open.
A majority of the Penns. lvania dele
CATION in caucus named Col. James NJ
Guffey as national committeeman, in
open defiance of Bryan's demand for
his displacement.
The New York delegation appointed
committee of ten to draft platform
and named Judge Alton B. Parker, the
Democratic standard bearer of 1904, as
the New York representative on the
platform committee.

Estimate of Bryan's Vote,

Denver.-The New York Herald's
canvass of state delegations shows that
Bryans vote on first ballot will be
larger than indicated in previous polls.
A large majority Of Pennsylvanians
will vote for Bryan. Ohio and Massa-
chusetts will both be solid for Bryan,
clear gain of twenty-five over previ-
GUS estimates.
The exact figures of the Herald poll
are: Sure for Bryan S25, or 157 In
excess of the necessary two-thirds;
probably for Bryan SO; Bryan's grand
total 1884; instructed or probably for
Johnson 81; instructed or probably for
Gray 80; other anti-Bryan delegates
30; uncertain how to vote 25.

For Rouuh Irons.

Often the irons will become either
rough or rusty and it is most annoy
ing to try to iron with them. To a
fiat board nail long strip of sand
paper and use this for smoothing the
irons on, If you find that the bees
wax does not accomplish this If the
sandpaper is not convenient, sprinkle
little salt on a folded newspaper and
them with a cloth and finally rub with
the wax. Ironing will be pleasure
if the irons are treated in this man
ner.
