AT
OYSTER BAY

by United Press Leased Special Wire.
OYSTER BAY. June 22.-President
Roosevelt said to-day that John callan
OLaughlin, Of Washington. had been
appointed secretary OF the Japanese
Exposition Commission. O'Laughlln is
a we'll known newspaper correspondent
and is acceptable TO Toxic Govern
ment.
President Roosevelt fairly got down
to his summer swing Of work and play
to-day. Secretary Loeb brought to
Sycamore Hin a large sack full of ex-
ecutive correspondence and government
documents. and the President devoted
about two hours to It's disposal. After
that he went for a horseback ride out
the cove road with a couple Of his chill
dren.

Rotary Taft. who is to come the latter
part Of the week, would be the first
important visitor The Presidents
mail is now burdened with many -aSr
are making frantic efforts 10 get a jot
before the President leaves the White
House.
II may be said on behalf OF the
President and Secretary Loeb that they
do not intend TO make a large grist OF
appointments just before the adminls-
tration completes its work. The rumor
that Secretary Loeb may be chosen
chairman Of the Republican National
Committee TO manage the Taft cam
paign may be dismissed as foundations
less. Had Mr.. Loeb desired. announce
ment would have been officially made
long before this But he does not want
the job for more reasons than one. II
he took It the charge would at once
be made that the President was dictat-
ing and Taft's campaign injured
thereby.

THIS THE SEASON
FOR PRESERVING
Some Recipes for Keeping
Fruit For Use in
Winter

This is the time par excellence for
preserving fruit, and the housekeeper
whose brood is fond Of homemade
sweets can at this season make prep
arations for the winter which will
greatly reduce the bill for butter and
viii add to the deliciousness of cold
weather meals. In these days Of gas
stoves the work of making such sweets
is greatly reduced, and so the house,
wife no longer breads it.
There are plenty of cherries in the
market now, and one Of the best and
easiest ways of preserving them is as
follows: stone and stem tart cherries,
saving all the Juice. To every pound
of the fruit allow a pound OF sugar
Put the sugar and juice in the pre-
serving kettle over the fire and when
the sugar is entirely dissolved add the
cherries. Cook until the syrup is very
thick; put into glass jars and seal.
Red raspberries are also plentiful
and nothing could be more delicious
than lam made from them, as follows:
Allow three-quarters Of pound Of
sugar to pound of fruit. Put the ber-
ries on alone and boil for half an hour
stirring hard and often. Dip out the
eunerauous Juice add the sugar and
cook 20 minutes more. Put up IN jars
Another recipe for berry jam says:
pick over and wash the berries ana al
low equal weight Of fruit and sugar.
Put the berries into preserving ket-
tie. mash them as they heat, and When
considerable juice has been drawn out
add the sugar gradually. Let them
boil M all over and then either skim
out the fruit or turn all into stralner'
Set the Juice on to boil again ana COOK

frtrit for the last boil A still better
man is to dip out superhuous juice be-
fore the sugar goes in. Add pound Tor
