PREPARING sALTED ALMONDS

Everyone knows how nice 1t is to
have some salted almonds in the
house, and there are two ways of
browning these, either of which will
be found easy.
First. of course. the almonds must
be blanched, and this you may do by
pouring boiling water upon them
after the shells have been removed
and allowing them to soak for ten
minutes. or even less. Too long
soaking softens them. Their rinse in
cold water and the skin will be found
to be quite loose and easy to remove,
This done, the first method of
browning them Is to scatter them in
a ran in which has been melted one
half teaspoonful of good butter, and
put them in the oven until delicately
Drowned. You must be very careful
that they do not burn, for they brown
very quickly, and too hot an oven
would make the result very pre-
carious.
When done, put them in a. colander
sprinkle table salt upon them and
shake them we'll before laying them
out on a plate to dry.
The second way is to pour one-third
cupful of olive oil in a frying pam
and when hot put in enough almonds
to cover the bottom of the ran. When
these have become a light brown, on
the top of the stove in this case skim
them from the oil, spread on a brown
paper to dry and sprinkle them with
table salt.

GREEN CORN RECIPES

Most of us crave variety; and in Au-
gust. when corn is plentiful, 1T is only
the lazy housewife who serves corn day
after day Just "plain boiled" OF course
there are some persons who think that
the onlv way to serve green corn is on
the cob. But some of these persons,
even, do not know how to COOK IL II
this way SO that it keeps all OF its dls
tinctiye flavor and apears on the taple
as tender, crisp and succulent as Wheh

Corn on the Cob-For eating on the
cob, corn should be very caretuily
chosen, and this choice should never De
left to the discretion of the vegetable
man. The better shops make no op-
lection when the woman who does heF
own marketing pulls down the outer
sheafs of the husk to see that the ker-
nels are white, plump and even. Inc
secret of tender corn, once the right
kind is chosen, lies in plenty Of boil
ing water. Be sure to have enough
water in the kettle to cover the corn
and be sure to have 1t actively bolllng'
Remove all but the inner leaves of the
husk from the corn, drop the ears
quickly into the boiling water, cover
tightly and boil about ten minutes
not longer-When the corn is young.
Some cooks say that a bit of butter the
size of a walnut dropped in the water
keeps the corn white and it certainly
doesn't hurt it. Corn should be eaten
the moment it is done. 1t should be
taken to the table covered with nap
kin, and each person to whom 1t is
passed should have special plate for
it, on which lies a small folded napkin
or dolly.
Baked Tomatoes Stuffed With Corn.
Corn and tomatoes are especially
good together and for cool August
evening the following dish will be
found very appetizing. Select medium
sized even tomatoes. Cut off the stem
ends for covers-if they have little
stems for handles all the better-and
remove the pulp from the inside. Cut
corn from enough freshly boiled ears to
fill the required number of tomatoes,
mix it with a few dry bread crumbs,
salt, pepper, butter and little cream.
Put this mixture in the tomatoes, on
top of each put a thin slice of bacon,
cover them with their own lids and
bake half an hour in a good, hot oven
Put a little water in the pan holding
them to keep them from burning. Be-
fore serving remove the bacon and re-
place the lids.

meals. It is for each member of it to
turn over a new leaf. Each one must
come to the table prepared to show his
best side-the side that comes out with
evening clothes and party dresses-the
side too often withheld from family
life, be 1t bestowed never so abundant
ly elsewhere.
Every member Of the family must
realize, as evening closes down and the
Vari-colored threads of the busy day
are gathered home, that there must be
a little unselfsh effort made by each
if the family unity is to be preserved
and the family life kept harmonious.
This freshening up Of the family IRE
as q unit by these little tributaries,
whose tides ebb and flow from its cen
ter, can only be accomplished by indi-
Vidual effort and personal unselhsh-
ness. A daily renewal Of patience, af-
fection and self-control is needed.
The two characteristics most impor-
tant for the family to cultivate at
meals are cheerfulness and conYersa-
ton. They are both necessary.
BY cheerfulness is meant light, pleas
ant, happy talk. DO not bring your
troubles to the table, but interesting
stories, anecdotes, incidents about the
people you have met, things happening
in the corner Of the world where you
work. Bring the pleasant things home
life Is real and glowing to those who
love you and believe in you and can
see it only through your eyes.
To be cheerful is not to be artificial
neither is it forcing insincerity upon
your friends. Cheerfulness is a form
Of unselfishness, a difficult, noble form,
which is too seldom given the appreci-
alton it deserves.
In asking for more conversation at
meals an especial appeal Is made to
preoccupied fathers and Indifferent
brothers.
Can they not both come forward and
bring to the table stories of their life
in the world interesting bits of infor-
nation, happenings of national impor-
tance? Can they not lift the mild,
gossip loving trend of the conversation
as it is when left entirely in the hands
Of mothers and sisters to a higher level
divert 1t, strengthen it, form it after
bigger DatternS?

Family Dinner Hour Test of Good Breeding

Let the father stop reading his news
paper at the table, let the brother brlns
down his preoccupation and lndli1er-
ence from their nebulous home in the
far away corner of the room-Iet them
both bring to the home and to the taple
q new infusion of masculine thought,
and try to make their daily lives VITAL
interesting and educating to the young
er members of the family.
Young parents whose children are
growing up beside them, still in the
dangerously initiative stage OF their
DEVELOPMENT, should aim first at haV-
ing the material form Of the daily
meals correct-good service, careful and
accurate in all details.
They should then demand from their
children prompt attendance, good man
ners, low voices, and respect to all those
others who sit at the table with them
whether they be old or young, says an
exchange.
The parents should themselves be the
first to talk cheerfully, happily and
contentedly; avoiding unpleasant SUB
iects until some other time controlling
the spirit of fault finding, and bringing
each child into the conversation to the
extent of his or her ability The par
ents should exhale warmth and mag
netism, and draw out by sympathy
the minds OF their children and their
guests.
This atmosphere of congenial and
pleasant talk at table cannot gro"
over night It takes years to cultivate
it, it. and only a persistant ideal in the
minds of the parents themselves will
enable them to fight through the con-
ficting elements that are always az
war for possession of the hearth, and
heIn them toward establishing at their
meals the grace and courtliness be-
longing to an older and more punctii-
Gus age. iii. .Lo
The home cannot progress with the
Growth unless every member Of the
family contributes a little gift of, per
sonaI unseIfshness, and puts his shout
der to the wheel with a good will in ms
effort to make the daily life of the nome
successful. ,..,,,
It is worth trying for-this family
unity-for it is a blessing that brings
In it's train host of minor gifts.

NEUCH is said to the child about
NH what he must do and be when
A'A he goes out to visit; but little In
comparison of what he must do and be
at home.
Yet nowhere Is the very inner spirit
of the family more evidenced than the
dinner table. Every effort should be
made to teach the child to appear at his
best when at home, and more particu-
larly when he Is at meals.
The amount of genuine culture a
family has probably, shows more dis
tinctly at table than in any other one
place, and a thousand little windows
are opened by the cursory conversation
about the breakfast table, through
which to look into the deeps and shall
lows of the home.
If it were necessary to sum up the
members of a family at q glance, no
where would 1t be possible to judge
them with more accuracy and find
cred unconsclously about the table at
their evening or midday meal.
why, then, is not more thought TAX
en- about the conversation and general
family tone at mealtime?
Enthusiastically there is not enough
formallty connected with the daily
taking of our food in this land Of haste
and nervous effort.
To the ancient Hebrew the family
table was an altar, and the goblet,
touched by the lips of the father and
the mother, was the symbol of spiritu-
al and heavenly things. Every year
had it's seasons, every season its form
and symbol, both carried out at the
family dining table.
But how different 1t is today? Too
often there seems or(y enough time for
each member of the family to sit on
the extreme edge of his chair, bolt but
a small quantity of food, and make for
the street.
Sometimes the only meeting place of
a family of growing boys and girls is at
the table. Yet as a rule how much is
there still left to be desired in the
way of cheerfulness and conversation
during the meal of most large families!
There is only one way to create a
revolution in the family conscious of
having dull, silent and uninteresting

For a mother to be a companion to
her girls is a very beautiful thing, but
the companionship should be the result
of her lifting the girls to her level and
not STOPPING to theirs.
When 1 was a girl l knew woman
who attempted to be companion to
her two daughters using their slang
and in all ways initiating their imma-

I don't know what her daughters
thought of her, but, although we girls
enjoyed romping with her, we were Sc

RUSSIANS WILL HOLD
MEETING or PROSEST
Address Circular to Labor Unions,
Inviting Them to Join in Process

at the Plaza

The local Russian colony proposes to
form in procession and hold an open
air meeting at the Plaza at 1:3O this
afternoon for a double purpose-first,
to protest against the proposed extra
dition of Rudowitz and Pourin, ac-
cused of crimes against the cars gov
ernment; and secondly, to commemor-
ate January %, 1905, generally known
as Bloody Sunday"
The committee in charge has sent
out the following circular, addressed to
the local labor unions:
"On Sunday, January "a. the Rus
sian colony wishes to hold a demon
stration for the purpose of protesting
against the attempted outrage in the
extradition of Rudowitz and Pourin.
THE only crime these men have
committed is their espousal of the
cause of the Russian people in their
struggle for political freedom. The
Russian government wishes to obtain
possession of these men, but knowing
the impossibility of taking mere poIiti-
cal prisoners, it has trumped up against
them the false charge of murder.
"We gather to protest against this
outrage to innocent men, and we wish
to call your attention to the fact that
this extradition will not alone affect
Rudowitz and Pourin. If these men
can be taken under false charges no
political refugee can longer find haven
in this land that has hitherto always
offered shelter to those fleeing despot-
ic power
