RECIPES AT A
SIMPLE DEVICE THAT SAVES
MUCH TIME.
veteran Housekeeper Explains Means
by Which She Is Never at a Loss
In Any Emergency That
May Arise.

An cid housekeeper said that at the
time of her marriage, years ago, she
was presented with a hanging recipe
book, that was invaluable to her. 1t
was fastened or the kitchen door, and
the leaves could be turned back and a
recipe found at a minutes notice.
Someone stole this treasure, and it
could never be replaced. A friend,
knowing how it was missed, impro-
vised a book that was even more of a
treasure, as it had tried recipes from
sources that could not be found in any
printed book.
At a wholesale paper place she had
cut a number of sheets of stiff yellow
paper that would not tear easily and
soils less than white paper. These
were indented on one edge, as an al.
phabeted book, but instead of letters,
the divisions were, Bread, Sauces,
Salads, Soups, Desserts, Left-overs,
Cheese Dishes, Sandwiches, Emergen-
cy Dishes, Invalid's Food, and so on.
Each ~housekeeper can make her divi-
sions to suit her special needs.
Each sheet was supplied with
recipes typewriter in purple ink on
white paper, the title being done in
caps in red ink. The recipes were
then grouped on the page, leaving r.
inch-wide margin at sides and bottom,
and two inches at the top to allow for
the sheets being thrown back. They
were pasted with photographers paste.
At the same place where the sheets
were cut they had five holes punched
across the top of each sheet a half.
inch below the upper edge. When
placed together red cords were run
through these holes, and the book
was fastened in five places to a strip
of wood, supplied with five screw
hooks opposite the cord loops. In this
way the book could be kept firm, yet
turned back like a hanging calendar.
One of the groups that was invalu-
able both to housekeeper and maid
was entitled liable Service" Under
it was grouped the proper way to set
a table, down to smallest details;
rules of service, and also suggestions
for table decoration for different occa-
sions. The housewife later added IN
other list, including her own china
and the Isl to which it was to be put
both for formal and informal occa-
sions.
Another useful grouping was Clean.
ing Hints. These included trustworthy
recipes for doing owe all sorts Of
household belongings, washing laces,
muslins, spot removing, doing up fine
lingerie and renovations of every de-
scription.
Still another division was House
hold Helps, filled with useful augges-
lions to tighten labor in every depart
ment of housekeeping.
BY tying the sheets together, in
stead of fastening them, new ones
could be added as needed. To provide
for this emergency, with the book was
given a number of blank sheets, cut
the proper size and punched ready for
the pasted recipes.

New Vegetable Knife.

One of the useful kitchen tools Of
the housewife who likes daintily
served food is a auted vegetable knife.
There are many varieties of this knife,
but a convenient one has the tiuted
surface on the lower half and a plain
edge toward the point.
Small potatoes, sections of carrots,
turnips, or beets are cut with this
knife for garnishes. The vegetable or
fruit is first peeled with the plain part
of the knife and then sliced with the
grooved edge.
Potatoes when cut futed with such
a knife and fried like Saratoga pota-
toes are known as julienne potatoes.

Berlin Authorities Have to Do With
Most Remarkable Case of Par
ricide.

A strange question has been raised
in Berlin by the case of a student,
Josef Racke, who murdered his father,
a millionaire member of the Reichs-
tag. AS there was no ordinary mo
tive for the crime, the police con
cluded that it took place during a sud-
den access of mania. They, there
fore, sent Racxe to an asylum, where
he was to be kept under observation.
Racke has there proved to be thor
eughly sane, but there is, neverthe-
less, no idea of putting him on trial,
as it is still held that he was mad
when he did the deed. Racke, how
ever, urges that he should be put on
trial and punished with all the sever
ity of the law. He persists that he
was sane all the time and that he
committed the murder after proper
consideration, well weighing the con-
sequence His father. he declares.

AS Johns bespectacled face was at
that moment buried in his cup, he
could only waggle his head negatively.

tinued Mrs. Pringle, refastening her
eyes on the sheet. 81 never heard of

rising hastily, 81 haven't time to listen
this morning. There are several i'm.

But it won't take a minute" she
argued, "and it's very interesting.

claimed impatiently, struggling into
his overcoat and reaching for his hat.
"Such rubbish doesn't interest me IN
the least. A man that would allow

services of a guardian.

raised to be kissed, and, tanning on
his hat, Pringle fastened from the
room to escape the deluge.

ately plunged into the routine of bust

ness that kept him on the hop the
entire day, and the little incident of
the morning was quite forgotten.
Ffve-fffteen found him alone in the
Office. The clerks had gone and the
dull roar throughout the great build
ing was gradually subsiding. He felt
particularly good over the day.
And then the Sweet oung-Thing
f1oated in, approaching him nervously
and with some hesitation.
She was a very pretty girl; spar
king eyes, laughing mouth, peariy
teeth, a wealth of glorious dark hair
and all that sort of thing. Pringle made
haste to remove his feet from their
ungainly position on the desk and sat
bolt-upright in his chair.
"By George, she's a %stunner!" he
thought, taking in every detail of the
trim little figure before him. Must
be employed here in the building"
The girl had neither hat nor coat, and
a pencil was protruding from the mass
of puffs. A folded something was al
so clutched in one tapering hand.
ooh, Mr.. Pringle," she gushed,
tossing him a dazzling smile, Il hope
you will pardon my approaching you
in this abrupt manner, but I'm in rath-
er an awkward predicament. My
name is Madge-Valita Madge-Mr.
Jackson's stenographer just across the
hall, you know"
Now Jackson was his best friend,
but Pringle couldn't remember for the
life of him ever seeing Miss Madge in
the office. Oh, well, there were many
things that escaped his observation.
He was very near-sighted. But it
wouldn't do to acknowledge it.
Eyes, yes, to be sure, Miss Madge,"
he cried, beaming at her over the rims

the getting of it that gives the Eskt-

"The getting of It," the procuring
of food in the waste of snow and fro

whether it be hunting reindeer, ptar-
migan, seal or fish. AS a consequence
the hunter is the great man" In the
economy of Eskimo life, and the i'm
portance of a man Is reckoned by his
ability to kill seals. The best hunt
er in a village is the king. He has his
pick of the women, and he exercises
1t with a freedom rather startling to
conventional ideas of matrimony.
without hunters a tribe cannot ex-
ist," is the Eskimo's point of view,
and the tribes that have persisted are
the ones in which there were no
strong, able men to kill game for
food.
AS a hunter the Eskimo stands
without a peer in the world for hardi-
hood, daring and craft. Armed with
the most primitive Of weapons, a
piece Of sharpened stone fitted In a
stick Of wood to make a lance, he
hunts and Stays the animals OF his
country, from the swift flying ptarmi-
gan to the ferocious polar bear. The
sea is where he must look for most
of his subsistence, for the sea holds
the seal, and without the seal the Es-
kimo could not live. The seal fur
nishes him food and clothing; its fat
provides the oil which lights his
lamps and cooks his food, and its
bones and skins make the boat n
which the tireless native paddles over
the stormy seas in search OF his prey.
OF the kindness and catholic hos
pitality of the Eskimo there is but
one verdict-they. are the kindest and
most h%ospitable people in the world.
Even wrecked explorers whose COM

sumo a great amount of the common
store of food, are hailed with the
greatest of delight, the best is set
forth before them, and they are in
vited to make themselves at home for

THREE DEAD AS RESULT
Parkersburg, W Va, Flooded
by Bursting Tanks.

Parkersburg, w. Va, March 49,
Three persons were killed, three 9TH
ers probably fatally injured and many
more slightly hurt and ten or more
houses completely wrecked and forty
more badly damaged when the two
large water tanks supplying the city
with water burst. The dead are Mr.
and Mrs. Maggie and small child. The
bodies were found in the ruins of
their home.
When the break occurred an i'm
mense stream of water rushed down
Prospect hill, sweeping everything be-
fore it. Houses were swept into the
street and the residents were knocked
from their beds. One whole family
while sleeping in all up stairs room
was carried down a street seventy-five
yards, the house being split almost
into ribbons, yet all escaped serious
injury except one girl, who had her
co]larbone broken.
The two tanks contained the entire
city water supply and famine is
imminent. The damage will amount
to between 100000 and s25O,OO0.
