DEMAND FORFEIT
Time Allowed Contractors to
Complete Building Ex-
pired December |.
OFFICERS SAY NOTHING.
PROBABLE ACTION OF BOARD OF
DIRECTORS YET UNKNOWN AL
THOUGH THE SECRETARY SAYS
THERE WILL BE NO TROUBLE.

Officers of the Richmond Y. M. c.
A. refuse to state what action they
will take in regards to the failure of
the contracting firm which construct
ed the building, to complete it's work
by time specified in the contract, Dec.
l. Under the terms of the contract
the contractors agree to pay a forfeit
of SIS per day for every day after
that date it takes them to comr,ete
the work. The construction WORT is
finished but all the work Oh the build
ing has not been completed. Caldwell
and Drake of Columbus, Ind, are the
contractors.
Il don't care to discuss that mat
ter" said Secretary George l.. Good
win of the Y. NJ. c. A. when asked
last evening what action the directors
of the association would take. The
contract calls for forfeit of SIS per
day after December l and you know
the building is not yet completed.
However the directors will safely
guard the interests of the association
and at the right time a complete re-
port will be made public.
No Trouble Anticipated.
'Is it true that the contractors have
threatened to bring suit to enjoin,
should the directors of the association
make an effort to collect the forfeit
money!" Mr.. Goodwin was asked.
I'VE have not heard that the con-
tractors have contemplated such ac-
tion. There will be no trouble be-
tween the director and the contrac-
tors, I am certain" he replied.
1t is an absolute certainty that the
new building will be dedicated on
Sunday, December 27. Mr.. Goodwin
states that he has not yet secured a
speaker to deliver the dedicatory ad-
dress but that he thinks he will be
able to secure quite a prominent man
for this purpose. He states that he
hopes to be able to announce who the
speaker will be by the middle of this
week. He also states that at that time
he will probably be able to announce
wno the speakers at the other enter
tainments held during dedicatory

Thunder and Milk.

i, To many persons the eurding of milk
in a thunderstorm is a mysterious and
unintelligible phenomenon. Yet. accord
ing TO scientists. the whole process is
simple and natural. Their claim is that

tians millions of bacteria. The milk hac-
terra that in day or two under natural
conditions would cause the fluid to sour
are peculiarly susceptible to electricity.
Electricity inspirits and inyigorates
them, as alcohol. cocaine or strong tea
affects them. Under the currents intlu-
ence they fall to work with amazing ener-
gy, and instead of taking a couple of
days to sour the milk they accomplish
the task completely in half hour. With
an electric battery it is easy on the same
principles to sour the freshest milk.

ZOE Oven Nranagement.


The safest guide for the novice with
regard to the heat of an oven is that
provided by NJ. Gouffe, once the royal
chef:
Tear up sheet of kitchen paper into
not too small pieces, and try the oven
by placing in it one Of these every eight
or ten minutes, till you obtain the de-
sired temperature. If on being put into
the oven the paper blazes up or burns
at once, the oven is manifestly too hot.
IL after stay of two or three minutes
the paper turns dark, almost choco-
late, brown, the oven is a hot one,
Mt for patties and small pastry. Ii
after the same time the paper becomes
a Havana or cigar brown, the oven is
quick" and ready for tarts, yel-au-
vent, aud such like. If the paper in the
same time only turns a yellowish brown

lastly, when left in for this time, the
paper is barely tinged with yellowish
