CYNTHIA GREY'S
LETTERS

Tomato catsup is something all
housewives should keep on hand,
as it is an indispensable accom-
paniment> to steaks and roasts.
Mrs. F. H.. P. ]. C. and Mrs. M. s.
all ask for a good catsup recipe.
| will give you an old and tried
recipe-one which can be relied
upon, absolutely. Boil a peck of
sliced, unpeeled ripe tomatoes
with six sliced onions until the
mixture is so soft it can be rubbed
through a colande. After strain
ing return to the fire with three
bay leaves. tablespoon each of
powdered mace, cloves, sugar and
salt, teaspoon cayenne pepper
and a tablespoon of celery seed
tied in a little cheesecloth bag.
Boil for six hours, stirring fire.
quently. Remove the bag of eel
cry seed and pour in one pint of
vinegar. Bring again to a boil.
and remove from the fire. When
cold, bottle and seal.
M. b. W., C...S. and Mrs. M. A.
ask for a. rule to pickle onions.
Select the small white onions of
even size for picking. Prepare
them and put in cold brine for
four days. Drain and cook them
In hot brine for five minutes. Re
move from brine and place them
in clear cold water, leaving them
there "a hours. Drain, put them
in jars. pour scalding vinegar
over them and seal.

HANG CURTAINS IN
WIND, THEN USE
YOUR SUBS
Slow Process Proves Most
Profitable in End With
Fine Lace.

Since every woman now believes
in the open window and fresh air
the curtain problem is a constant
problem.
Some practical housekeepers
have set of curtains in the wash
ing every week. Their curtains are
always fresh, but they are never
all clean at once, which is some
times important.
Coal SCOT rots lace, and is hard
to remove. But with fine lace, the
slow rather than the strenuous pro-
cess proves profitable in the end.
Hang the curtains on the line
and let the wind blow out the dust.
Then soak them over night in a
tub of tepid water in which half a
pound of white soap and two table
spoonsful of borax is dissolved.
Wash them in a fresh tepid suds
containing three tablespoOnfuls of
bOraX. Do not use hot water, nor
the dashboard, nor strong chem
icals. Sop and squeeze out the dirt
in a succession of waters.
The coarser the lace the more
starch it requires. All starch must
be strained, and it's stiffness may
be increased by the addition of gel
attn, borax and gum arabic
To produce the popular deep yell
low tone, use tea or saffron in the
starch or rinsing water. Coffee
gives good color, but is apt to
have an odor.

This proposition must be consummated 1t for the

producer in the country, to help consummate it.
The establishment of the building will cost anywhere

be under supervision of the school
faculty constantly, which would
not be the case were they in attend
ance at a public school and board
ing at one place and another out
in the town. Again many of those
who would come to such a school
would not be fitted to enter high
school course, and they would need
some little preliminary instruction
to fit them to take up that course
in an English school. A college or
academy could provide such pre-
liminary instruction, and within
its walls night and day the child
receiving it would have thrown
around him a restraint and in
Auences that would foster and care
for him as he could not be cared
for anywhere else except at home.
People living in Sonora and Sina-
loa will not send their children to
Nogales for FIVE or six hours school
ing every day five days in the
week, to 60 at will nights and the
other two days. And very few res
idents in those states are so
situated that they can bring their
entire families to Nogales, or send
them anywhere else, for the sake Of
having the children in school. So
they send them beyond Nogales, to
California or the East, where they
are cared for and kept under con-
troll all the time. Another objec-
ton offered by Mr.. Bachellier was
the insutficiency of the Nogales
public school, as constituted now,
and the strong probability that a
high school would be run on about
the same plan. The gentleman
said fatty that there are too much.
\ 3pGlitics and favoritism in the
schoul, and that the same evils
would creep into high school man
ag-ment. Mr.. BacheIlier disavowed
any sentiment except that for the
| public good, and he averred posi-
lively that could he see the ques-
ton from the same point of view
as some of the others IN Nogales.-
he would favor the proposition.
But as a matter of economy, fitness
and adaptability he believed that
a high school will not fill the bill
at this time.
Mr.. Charles L. Fowler said that
he is in favor OF the Proposition
if the management and control of
the school can be placed in the
hands of certain people he named
outright; but then M. Fowler is
such "josher" that no one knows
J whether he means really what he
says.
Mr.. Pat Hannah declared fat

Last week THE OASIS stated that
there was a petition in circulation
for signatures to call bond cleo
tion on the proposition to issue and
sell bonds to the amount OF w.
600. to build school edifice, and
to levy tax to sustain high
school. Since then a number OF
prominent and we'll known citizens
have been interviewed, and their
views upon the proposition taken
for publication. They are pre-
sented herewith:
Mr.. Harry W. Kelsey thinks the
proposition a good one, and that it
ought to be embraced. The town
is forging right ahead, many new
people settling here with their
families, and such an institution is
needed to round off the school
system of the place. 1t is needed
not only for those now here, but
the fact that there is here an ad.
vanced school will be an induce
ment for Others to come here and
seltle. Many men operating in
Sonora who have to send their
families to California and else
where, for the sake of school facil
ities, would make their homes at
Nogales were there provided here

End elsewhere. NogaleS has every
advantage of situation, and the
people of the town should supple.
ment the natural advantages of tne
place by providing educational and
other advantages that will be an
lnducement to families to make
their homes here.
Mr.. A. l.. Peck expressed him
sell as very strongly favoring the
proposition. The cost to carry OUT

Zine. And he is satisfied thor
oughiy that such an institution
will be the means of drawing man,

cause them to make permanent
homes here.
