There are several different ways of pre-
serving strawberries, this being the SIM

the berries in the preserving kettle in

While we of the city can scarcely refer
to our own gardens as indices OF the sea-
sons progress, the burgeoning hucksters'
stalls and shrill-voiced vendors on every
street crying ''Strawber-r-r-r-ries. Straw
berri-r-r-r-ies." warn us that it is time
to avail ourselves of present bounty and
at the same time lay aside store of
these most delicious and evanescent of
berries for future use; for the present use
berries au natural of strawberry short
cake ride the top wave Of natural favor.
The perfect strawberry, according to
Col Watterson, comes to the table di-
rectly from the garden bed, picked in the
morning and served at breakfast with
granulated sugar ION the side and real
cream served in tall glasses.
While the wild berries can be sent direct
to the table without washing. the culti-
waited berry. especially if purchased from
the huckster, must be thoroughly washed.
This should not be done until ready to
serve. To do this without breaking the
berries or wasting their juices put in a
colander or wire strainer and dip this
into pan of water. Alternately lift and
lower the colander several times, allow
ing the dirt to fall into the pan. Large,
fine berries are better with the stems left
on, but smaller ones should be hulled. If
hulled before serving, little pineapple
or orange Juice is deemed an addition
While strawberries are healthful for most
persons, particularly those of a bilious
or gouty system, there are few indi-
VidualS who are prone to most unpleas-
ant rash after eating the uncooked ber-
ries. For these unfortunates there is the
old tradition that little pepper eaten on
the berries will dispel all i'll effects.
Strawberry Shortcake.
The real American strawberry short
cake is a totally different creation from
the sponge or layer cake affair filled with
berries and topped by an extravaganza
OF whipped whites of egg or cream. This
latter looks most attractive, to be sure,
as ostentatiously displayed in the ordi-
nary restaurant windows, but cannot hold
a candle to the real country strawberry
shortcake made of rich biscuit crust,
baked in layers. split and buttered while
warm. then filled with a bounteous layer
of partially crushed berries, we'll sweet
ened to make plenty of rich sirupy juice
When these layers are put together and
crowned with whipped cream or more of
the crushed berries blended with the
cream, words cannot adequately describe
ii.
These biscuit-crust shortcakes may be
made from the rule on the baking powder
boxes, adding. If desired, a beaten egg
and possibly a teaspoonful of sugar or OF
sour milk and soda. For the latter put
four cupfus sifted flour into the mixing
bowl, add a half teaspoonful salt and
teaspoonful sugar and sift again. Chop
or rub in three tablespoonfuls butter.
Dissolve a teaspoonfu soda in little
warm water, add 1t to a cupful sour
cream or loppered milk and stir until 1t
stops "purring. Add to the milk a
beaten egg and mix with the -four, using
spoon so as not to handle the dough
more than is necessary. 1t should be as
soft as it can be rolled. Bake in well
creased round tins, split, butter and
spread with the crushed berries. Cut all
hot shortcakes with hot breadknife.

AT BANKERS DINNER.
Senator Aldrich Guest in Cummins's
Home Town.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 12.-Senator
Aldrich was the guest of honor at a
bankers dinner here last night. He
again discussed the necessity for the
reformation of the banking and cur
rency laws with the end in view of
preventing future panics like that of
1907, and by way of information went
into details concerning the operations
of central banks in the countries of
Europe.
This being the home of Senator
Cummins, it had been expected that
Mr.. Aldrich would make some refer
ence to that gentleman who has
shown an inclination to antagonize
his policies but if any thing uncompli-
mentary was anticipated there must
have been disappointment. The only
allusion to Mr.. Cummins was court
eous and being made in connection
with mention of the name of the
late Senator Allison could not have
aroused any but the kindest feeling

TOPEKA ISN'T EASY.
City Has Outgrown Its Former Repu-

Topexa-which used to be consider

outgrown its name and no longer lends

American tramp.

limits of the municipality. are almost

such was not the case.
