M - n !.
In response to the presentation and
in behalf of his successful team, Mr..
Huiskamp in a few well chosen words,
thanked the president, for the pre-
sentation of the honors and in part
said:
In behalf of all the members o.:
the Huiskamp Bros. team, wish to
thank the league for the 2. ,sentation
of the flag. We wish to take this
means of thanking Mr.. Joy who has
done perhaps more than any other
man in the promotion of the league
and through his generosity, some fine
games have been played during the
past seasons at Athletic park which
otherwise would not have been. We
wish also to express our great appre.
citation to the officers and other pro.
motors of the league and hope that the
league will continue successfully for
many more years."

Pennant Presentation Speech.

Pennant Presentation Speech.
N. A. King was then called upon by
Toastmaster Radcliffe and in neat
speech gave the honor and title to the
pennant of the season just passed, to
the Huiskamp Brothers Co. baseball
team.
Mr.. King said in part: 1.-Two years
ago there was some doubt as to wheth-
er or not the Commercial league Of
this city would be success. Tonight
we are enjoying our second annual
banquet and the league is success.
To be SO any organization, no matter
whether public or private, must be
backed by strong organization OF
some kind. 1t is necessary that the
Y. M G. A. Commercial baseball
league be backed by such an organiza-
ton as the Y M. c. A. and it must
be under the direction Of such an as
ISOLATION to be a success.
Hamilton must regret the fact that
year. Last spring, the president and
went to Illinois and paved the way
for that city to enter the league but
there were four votes against one for
entering team from that city and all
are well acquainted with the outcome
of the season for that city in baseball
this year.
1.-THE prospects for next year look
bright, the st. Peters young mems
club having entered this year and for
next season there are three more
teams which wish t. enter into the
league
I'VE have with us tonight, gentle
man who is one of your warmest sup
porters in city league baseball and
there is no one more enthusiastic
than Mr.. James Huiskamp, who is
manager of the pennant winning team
for the season of 09 of the Huiskana,
Bros. baseball team. And they GER
tainly have won it for there was no
more enthusiastic club in the league
than they"

Faos For women.

An ingenious invention for the house
hold is an article constructed for lift
Ing hot pots or pans from the stove or
for taking utensils out of the oven
without the use OF a rag or cloth.
The panalift. as II is called. Is made
from steel wire and Is guaranteed not
to bend under the heaviest weight.
1t adjusts itself to any pan and Is d
great improvement over the old meth
cd Of using a rag. which may or may
not be germ laden. Then, again. there
Is no fear OF burning the hands or
fingers.
The dustless duster Is something new
as a labor saving invention. You just
rub the place to be busted. and the
dust Is gone. not to another place II
the room, but into the duster. Once
absorbed II cannot be shaken out. as
In the case OF the usual dust rag. fol
II must be washed out with warn
water and soap. This cleansing proc
ess. however. does not destroy tht
chemical properties Of the cloth.
The duster costs 25 cents and cleans
furniture. metal. glass or wearing ap
parel when busting IS needed.
1t is very soft and may take the
place Of a silk handkerchief for clean
ing purposes.

SOMETHING ABOUT CRANBERRIEs
teverai Delicious Ways Of Preparing
This Much Used Berry.


There are all kinds Of WAYS II pre-
pairing crauberries. Some.cooks serve
them as Il very acid. thin sauce and
take the trouble To strain It. This IL Il
mistake. Cranberries should be heavi-
ly sweetencd and cooked with little
water So that they can be molded In
pretty individual molds.
\ quart of cranberriDs require only
a cupful OF boiling water Boil stead
lily rather rapidly for twenty minutes.
add two cupfuls OF sugar ,/:d cook for
ten minutes longer. An exnct time
must be given In cooking cranbcrries
II Ole wishes to have them Jelly prop

ly perfectly II cooked exactly accord
Ing To these directions. DO not strain
them. Pour into small china molds
This gives dark. rich looking mold
that Is not too acid. yet preserves all
the individuality Of the fruit.
Spiced crunberrics nrc something
like snlced currunts. Put two even
tablespoonfuls of ground cinnamon
one of grouI.d cloves and hnlf IL table
spoonful Of ground allspice into mus
lin bag and tie II up. Simmer it In Il
cupful Of cold water for half an hour
Then add the spiced water to seven
pounds OF cranberrics. three and half
pounds Of sugar and two cupfuls OF
cider vinegar. Cook slowly until thick
and then seal up In Jars. Some house
wives serve this In place OF the or

Arraroino \ Oivan.

Every one does not know that a
wide divan Is nude more comfortable
by having ut its back two huge. hard
pillows that will support the softer
ones.
Ii Is usual to heap up great vari-
ETY. Of these extra soft ones on large
divan so that any one sitting or reclin-
Ing may arrange them according to
ones comfort.
These are needed. 1t IS true. but they
also need support. The wall Is usu-
ally too far back from the front edge
OF the divun to serve. The two large
pillows made OF the material which
covers the divan are not only comfort
able. but artistic.
They may te stuffed with excelsior
into coarse muslin or ticking. then COW
cred with the chosen fabric. They look
better with q heavy cord around the
edging.
II the end Of the divan Is against
the wall as well NJ Its side third
pillow may be added to give an added
framework to the little pillows.
This Is not an expensive trick. but II
a housewife ever tries 1t she will never
let the divan so without this part OF
its equipment.

isn't It good news that wafiles are
really In style? Every one has always
known that waffles with sirup were
extremely good. but until recently they
have been half forgotten. Now they
are actually fashionab able. and 1t Is quite
the thing to serve them with brown
sugar or maple sirup as a separate
course Mt luncheon
This being the case. It is we'll to
know just how to make them. Made
with rice. they are delicious. A good
recipe calls for a cup Of boiled rice
three eggs. one ounce OF butter, two
cups of sour milk and one teaspoOnful
each Of salt and soda.
Stir into the rice the creamed butter
and the eggs. which have been beaten
to froth. Add the salt and soda. stu
in the milk and add -four enough to
make a thick batter.
Be sure that the waffle irons are
very hot and buttered. FIJI them three
quarters full with the batter and bake
carefully.

WASHING Brushes.

1t Is best not to put ones heavy
backed silver brush into common use
for their hair. Mt least not In cities
where the SCOT laden atmosphere
leaves a coating Of itself on the hair
each day.
This is caught by the brlstles Of
the brush. which makes 1t necessary
to wash It at least twice n week. II not
oftener.
This constant washing ruins a
brush that has an expensive back.
Therefore brush should be used
that has an ordinary wooden handle
nnd back with good stiff bristles to
Withstand the softening action Of va.
ter and boraX.

When to Add Gait.

According to a teacher Of domestic
science. salt dissolves and draws out
the heterogeneous Hesh forming sub.
stances from vegetab bles and meats.
Therefore II 1t Is added too early In
boiling It draws out the most valuable
parts OF the vegetables. 1t also tough
ems fibers and for these reasons should
be added few minutes before serving.

A Palpable Truth Plainly Stated.

Some women are born cooks; some
achieve cooking;
Some have cooking thrust upon them.
We may live without conscience and live

We may live without poe'ry, music and

We may live without friends; we may
live without books.
But civilized men cannot live without
