at the top to form two arms, with the
opening between them just wide
enough to admit the handle of q
spoon, inserted sideways, and with
the wide part just narrow enough to
keep the handle of the spoon from
slipping through. The lower part of
the holder consists of a fiat strip
which runs down inside the glass and
spring clip on the back which goes
outside the glass and clamps the
whole firmly on. The spoon, when
not in use, is hung on the holder and
does not fall into the bottom of the
glass. While the device fits on the
edge of any receptacle, it is chiefly
employed where the receptacle is
deeper than the spoon is long.

TO GRACE THE SUPPER TABLE
Formula for Fruit Omelet That Has
Recently Sprung Into Deserved
Popularity.

Hostesses are now serving a fruit
omelet made by the following formu.
la:
Chop raisins, currants, candied
pels, citron, oranges and lemons, figs
and French prunes or any similar
fruits until you have a scant half-cup-
ful when mixed. They can be put
through the meat cutter, using
coarse knife and having about equal
parts of the different fruits.
When the fruits are mixed add Just
a dash of powdered cinnamon Put
the mixture in a double boiler with
the juice of an orange and allow it
to cook for 80 minutes.
To make the omelet itself break
four eggs into dish and beat them
lightly and quickly, but merely
enough to mix the yolks and whites
together. Add a teaspoonful of pow
dered sugar and teaspoonful of but
ter. Melt a second teaspoonful of but
ter in the chatting dish. Get it hot,
but without allowing it to brown;
then turn in the eggs. Shake the pan
so that they will not set. Let them
brown until the egg is we'll cooked,
lifting the set part as this is formed
to allow the raw to run upon the hot
pan.
The moment the omelet is well set
pour in the hot fruit, folding over
quickly and turn on plate. Sprinkle
1t with powdered sugar and serve i'm
mediately.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much Of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
~. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1909-09-01

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

HE ARMY GENERAL STAFF.

When Elihu Root was secretary of
wal in Mr.. McKinley's cabinet and in
the first months of Mr.. Roosevelt's
first administration, he succeeded,
after a long and hard-fought contest,
in inducing congress to create the gen.
eral staff of the army, composed of
officers of high rank in different de-
partments of the service and charged
with the duty of considering war
propositions in a big way. The need
of such a STAFF organization had been
fully demonstrated and Its value has
since been proved. In spite of this,
congress is now attempting to impair
the efficiency of the military branch
of the government by reducing the
general staff by half and sending many
of it's members back to active service
at posts and barracks. The tel
offered is hat there is a marked
shortage of line officers in the army
and that the vacancies can not be
properly filled without ordering back
to the service some of the men who
have been assignd to general staf
duty. The general staff now consists
of forty-fve officers and 1t is proposed
cutting off all captains and majors
and returning them to their regi-
ments.
Congress clearly fails to appreciate
| tha foOf That tho cIonncc nf q NOR do
ponds fully as much on preparedness
as on numerical strength of the army
that may be placed in the field. The
general staff. for instance, in the per-
Torrance of its duties, has secured &C
curate typographical maps of China,
Japan and every other nation with
which the United States has any rela-
lions whatever. 1t has learned just
what we would have to do in case of
a war with a foreign power, just how
many troops of the different branches
of the service would be required,
where they should be sent, how they
could be concentrated most readily,
where supplies could be forwarded,
how the march inland should be con-
Quoted, the condition of the roads and
the facilities for transportation, in
short all the points that study and
foresight could have ascertained. This
preparedness would ave the country
tremendous initial losses at the out
break of war. The Information is
gained only after tiresome and pains
taking work and is. without doubt,
worth more to the government than
any extra number of recruits who
claim they can lick their weight in
wildcats every day in the week with a
double allowance on Sundays.
The plea of economy does not carry
much weight, as the officers of the
general star would be drawing their
salaries whether stationed at head
quarters in Washington or at Fort
Abe Lincoln or Fort Sam Houston.
The point is that the general staff can
be of more real service by attending
to its duties in Washington than II
half it's members were ordered back
to army posts.
