DAINTY DISHES IN AFRICA
Long Distance Can on Possible
Menus for the Roosevelt
Hunters.

When Colonel Roosevelt is in Africa he
will have an opportunity Of tasting that
delicious dish, baked elephants foot. The
Elephas Indicus or Eelephas 0oxodonl
A~frieanus walks on his toes and the balls
OF his feet. The real foot of an elephant
extends up some distance from the ground.
Like the "trotter' Of the hog the foot Of
the elephRnt Is full OF gluten, and the flesh
II properly baked, is very tender, tasting
something between pork and chicken. From
a freshly killed elephant the foot is cut off
at the ankle, and baked in a hole IN the
ground which has previously been heated
with hot stones. The hole must be red hot
and a few heavy stones left in the bottom.
The foot having been put into the hole,
which is made Just about big enough TO re-
ceive it-some natives line the hole with
green leaves-sand is shoveled over 1t and
It is left TO cook. One must not be in a
hurry for his Inner. When taken out and
the thick skin is peeled away a delicious
morsel awaits the epicure.
Alligator soup and roast lion may be had

II you go to M Blue Mouse expect
ing that something bordering on the risdue
will be presented, you'll be disappointed.
II you can say "Honi soit." ETC., and keep
on saying II, you'll not see anything that
you couldn't permit in you own home.
The rounder may see some things he has
heard OF before, but 1t is done In such an
innocent way and with the purpose made
so apparent that no objection can well be
laid. And II is just as well that Clyde
Fitch does not rest his claim to fame on
the adaptation he has made from the Ger
man farce, for II IL flat, stale and unpro-
fitable In many ways, and its cltmaxes
lack snap. The start is fast, but ne pace
is not maintained. Ever and anon comes
a burst of fun, but the going in the main
is a repetition that becomes tedious.
The material is as old as farce itself. A
young man, devoted to his wife, is private
secretary to the president OF a railway
company, also devoted to his wife, but will
ing to have a little fun If 1t doesn't cost
much or go too far. The young man wants
a promotion, so that his wife can get some
money her close-fisted father is hanging
on to. To set the promotion, ne employees
an actress, known as the Blue Mouse" to
impersonate his wife and weedle the ap-
pointment out of the president. OF course
the real wives are introduced, the father
in-law meets the railroad president, the
fiance of the actress is thrown In for good
measure and Identities are obscured until
the close of the farce. 1t takes a mighty
clever lot of people to keep the fun moving,
and these have been supplied.
Else Ryan has the lead. and Is doing
very well. She is a clever actress, is pretty
and chic, and carries her share Of the work,
which lie large, with ma and verve. Ida
Palmer, as the railroad presidents wife, is
also a success In a difficult character role.
Miss Pearce Is well situated in the ingenue
part and Miss McGregor is doing well as a
German chsperone to the Blue Mouse"
Mr.. Taylor gets roars of laughter with his
comedy as the near-sporty old railroad
magnate. and Mr.. Stein acts the part OF
the private secretary very we'll. The others
all make the most Of their chances, and
the laughter is sustained very we'll from
first to last.
The Burwood was filled last night to well

Treatment for Fire cracker Burns.

The time fast approaches when
| the small boy and the giant fire
cracker will hold the center of the
stage, and as it is by no means an
uncommon thing for the two to
come together at the most inoppor-
tune time, with results disastrous to
the fingers of jubilant Young Amer
lea, few suggestions as to the prop
er manner of treating wounds caus-
ed by the premature explosion OF
firecrackers or blank cartridge guns,
will doubtless be we'll received.
One prominent physician says the
most important thing to be observed
when treating such cases is to keep
the wound clean and free from dirt
He says that Immediately after an
accident where the flesh has been
torn open by the explosion of pow
der, the wound should be washed
with peroxide of hydrogen or some
other good antiseptio, which will
clear out any of the burnt tissues
and remove the danger of tetanus.
After the wound has been wash
ed and treated it should be BAN
daged, but not SO tightly that it will
keep the air from it, said the ply
sician. zone of the most important
things to be remembered is to keep
the wound so that the air can get
to it. as tetanus germs do not thrive
unless they are shut off from the
air."
Every year the physicians of tn
city usually work overtime on Inde-
pendence day bandaging burned fin
gers and repairing torn bodies, and
instead of being somewhat of a hol-
iday it is day of hard work for
them.
With the elimination or blank car
fridge guns for the use of young
sters and a vigorous attempt on the
part of the city authorities to cele-
brate in a sane manner it is hoped
That the number of accidents which
usually come with a celebration will
be CONSPICUOUS by their absence this

Help Increase the Hospital Fund.

There are about 200 women who
are members of the Visiting Nurse
and Hospital Association. The work
has been a success from the very be-
ginning. Three months after the or
ganization was started the visiting
nurse was at work, going from place
to place as she was needed, caring
for the sick, instructing in those
things so necessary to the comfort
of the suffering one and the safety
of the rest of the family. Food and
delicacies have been generously pro-
vided by means of neighborhood
basket, which has been placed a
week at time in different locali-
tesc. Clothing and bedding, when
necessary, have been provided from
the loan closet in charge of the char
ity board. Everywhere the work has
been a blessing. The first month
the nurse made 90 calls spending 81
hours at her work. The last report
shows that she made 1877 calls,
spending los hours. Number of pa
tients 23, new patients IA. Number
of tuberculosis patients 5, calls
made on tuberculosis patients 54
So the work is steadily growing.
Just now the hospital committee is
pushing their part of the work.
1t is the aim, ambition and purpose
of this organization to build a hos
pital in the near future which will
be the pride of every citizen of
