The Sentinel is pleased te
note in the New Orleans pa
pers that our distinguished
fellow townsmen, Judge L
P. Caillouet, is being urged
by many prominent citizens
to become an aspirant fol
congressional honors from
the third district.
Judge Caillouet is recog.
nized throughout the state at
large for his ability, integrity
and scholarly attainments,
and were he to enter the race
he would indeed prove a for
midable antagonist.
We have not however the
faintest idea what the Judge
thinks Of the matter but we
are inclined to believe that
his boom has not disturbed
the even tenor Of his way.

Sand BAD for Sickroono.

One of the most convenient articles
to be used in a sickroom is a sand bag
Get some clean. fine sand; dry it
thoroughly in pan on the stove.
Make bag about eight inches square
Of flannel, fill it with dry sand, sew
the opening carefully together and
cover the bag with cotton or linen.
This will prevent the sand from sift-
ing out, and will also enable you to
heat the bag quickly by placing it in
the oven or even on the top Of the
stove. After once using this you will
never attempt to warm the feet or
hands OF sick person with bottle
of hot water or a brick. The sand
holds the heat long time, and the
bag can be tucked up to the back with
out hurting the invalid. It is a good
plan to make two or three of the bags
and keep them on hand, ready for use
at any time when needed.

TO MAKE GOOD ANGEL CAKE.
Important That the Whites of Eggs
Be in Proper Shape.

Mix seven ounces of fine winter
flour, one ounce of cornstarch, three
quarters Of pound of powdered sugar
and one heaping teaspoon of cream of
tartar, together, and then sift them
five times. Take IL pint of the
whites Of eggs and beat them until
stiff and smooth as possible. Your
cake will be tough and leathery unless
the whites are sufficiently firm to
bear an egg, and the texture very firm
and fine grained. Now stir in the
sifted materials as lightly and quick
ly as possible, using for the purpose
a wire spoon or egg beaten. Bake in
an INCREASED Turks head, or, better
STILL a Van Dusen cake mold, in a mod
crate oven for 35 or 40 minutes.
When done, take it from the oven,
turn the bottom up, allowing the pan
to rest on the table to cool. When
the cake is cold pass a timber knife
around the sides, shake lightly and the
cake will drop out. Ice it with
vanilla, orange or almond soft icing.

Art in Ice Cream MoIds,

It is almost an art now to design
molds for ice cream. Often the GUS
toners of the large shops suggest
what forms they wish the cream or
ice for a certain occasion to assume,
and the caterer arranges to have the
idea carried out. In this way many
odd molds are acquired. Flowers and
fruit are always a favorite. One may
have roses to match the color scheme
of the table decorations. There are
also tiny automobiles, Teddy bears"
and dolls.

Small Girls Hair.

To dress the hair of the baby girl
who is not blessed with curly locks,
take a piece of ribbon just long enough
to reach across top of head from ear
to ear, fasten to each end bow or ro-
settle and a narrow elastic to fit snug
ly around the head beneath the hair.
Brush the hair back or part in mid
die or on side. Place the ribbon on
the head, a rosette above each ear.
This will keep the hair in place and
be becoming.

After an instant or surprise Sne re-
membered that Mrs. Hawley had in
structed her to leave the back door
key at home that day and to let her
self in at the front door with the key
which she would find under the car
pet on the first step of the stairway
which led to the third floor.
Stopping just long enough to catch
her breath and to deposit her packages
on the refrigerator outside the kitchen
door, Gunhilda made her way down
again and around the building to the
front, where she found the key as di-
rected and let herself in.
That was just ten minutes before
Mrs. Hawley came home. During
these ten minutes Gunhilda's voice
was lifted up in walls that brought
the inmates of several other flats to
inquire who was being murdered.
The cause of these walls was that,
while Gunhilda was on her way from
the back door to the 'front.' some one
had snatched and run away with the
bundles she had left on the refrigera-
tor-precious bundles, one containing
a new lingerie waist and the other
dress goods for an Alice blue suit.
"Oh, Mees Hawley, it was So
pretty Aylees blue!" Gunhilda reiter-
ated through her tears, evidently feel
ing that the color lent blackness to the
crime. II not know this was stealing
place."
There, there, Gunhilda! It's not
stolen. There's some mistake; we
shall find it," Mrs Hawley spoke
soothingly.
After thorough investigation, how
ever, she was almost ready to admit
that Gunhilda might be right. Then
she discovered the laundry bundle
that day and went straight to the tele-
phone.
The wagon was still out, she learned
from the laundry. She might call up
again in an hour. Through that hour
Gunhilda's tears flowed copiously.
Well lind your things safe at the
laundry, Gunhilda," Mrs. Hawley kept
answering. "The man must have come
up and taken them, thinking they were
the soiled clothes put out there for
him"
But when the hour had ended bacis
came word that no bundle of any sort
had been collected from the Hawlcy
fiat that day.
Now, Gunhilda," said Mrs. Hawley.
