The Soup Kettle.


 The soup pot Is one of the great est sources Of economy. providing the housewife is careful to save all the scraps of meat or fowl that are absolutely unspoIled. The bones from roast or boiled cuts of beef or mutton. the end pieces of steaks, trimmings from chops, if these are nc very ia, the CarCasses of cooked fowl. the neck, giblets and skinned feet of unCooked poultry, all should be put on the ire with enough water to cover them and allow to cock slowly. l. Is unnecessary to say here that all of the scraps should not be put in the soup kettle togeth- CT, for il requires but a few beef, mutton or bones of fowls to make the basis of a rich soup stock.
 Few Col ks realize what delicious rich stock or j,lly may be made from the feet and legs of fowls These must be thoroughly cleaned, and then skinned before putting on he fire to cook very slowly for about six hours.
 By exercising such economy the housekeeper need seldom be without he cupful of soup stock or gravy so often called for in recipes for warming up left-oyers.

Jack Johnson is going back in the old game at which he shines. He's going to pass up the stage and leave the auto racing game to those who know more about them.
 Thought there was none who con sidered himself as having a chance with the conqueror of Jeffries, eh? Well. Joe Jeanette is not a fellow who ever talks very much about himself, but from the way we have seen him act he has an idea that the championship crown will come to him some day, and that Jack Johnson is the fellow from whom he is going to snatch it.
 The other day, Dan McKetrick, who locks after the affairs of Jeanette. suggested to Johnson's manager. Mortimer Theise, that a match in Paris between Johnson and Jeanette would be big card because Joe is red hot favorite over there.
 Well, what can we get for a fght?" asked Theise.
 q will guarantee Johnson $20,000 for his end of a finish fight" said McKettrick.

SOUTH AFRICA PRODUCES
LARGE AMOUNT OF CORN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Returning
prosperity to British South Africa has
been marked by extensive increases In
agricultural production, according to a
report from United States Consul Edwin
c. Cunningham at Durham, Natal, but
the principal factor has been the large
production of maize. Less than five
years ago American maize was sold at
johannesburg. but recently not only has
sufficient Indian corn been produced to
supply the home consumption, but
enough to support an export trade as
we'll. Consul Cunningham in a report
to the department of commerce and
labor also draws attention to the recent
shipments of large cargoes of maize to
Mexico from South Africa. He ascribes
two possible reasons for this-either a
remission of the import duty on maize
by Mexico owing to the pressing demand
for foodstuffs there, or the fact that
cheaper freight rate was obtained by
Mexican importers because the product
was shipped from South Africa on ves-
sells which alerady had discharged their
cargoes and were returning to America

TENNESSEE CLAIMS
ARE BEING DEBUTED
State Wants Government to
Reimburse it for Railroads
Destroyed During the War
(Rv Associated Press.l

l6v associated fress.l
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE long
pending claim of the state of Tennessee
for railroads destroyed by the federal
government during the civil war. was
taken up at a conference at the treasury
department today.
John ]. Vtrtrees, G. B. Stahlman. of
Nashville: Dabney NJ. Coles, of Memphis,
Tenn, and John NJ. Hickey, Of Washing
ton, appeared to represent the state. Sec
rotary MacVeagh. Secretary Dickinson
and Attorney General Wickersham rep
resented the government under an act
of congress of 1898 which authorized those
officers to sit as a commission for the
adjustment of the claim
The treasury is now holding about $780,
900 in bonds of the state of Tennessee
which were issued before and after the
war. There is no question of their va
lidity and the treasury has been trying
to force their payment.
The commissioners for the state, how
ever interposed counter claims OF an
equal amount for railroads destroyed by
the federal government. Before the
war Tennessee had made loans to rail-
roads under construction and took liens
upon them as security. 1t is claimed the
government destroyed the state security
and should reimburse it
When the claim was brought up before
the governments commission maintained
that the commissioners of the state had
no standing as Tennessee was in rebel
lion when the railroads were destroyed.
The states commission now takes the
position that the act of congress which
authorized the secretary OF war, the at
torney general and the secretary of the
treasury to take up negotiations was
recognition of the validity of the claim.
The conference today was cut short to
allow the three cabinet officers to inquire
what their predecessors in office had
done in the matter.

MISS ELK|NS' PATH

TO THE HOLY ALTAR
(By Associated Press.)


LONDON, Nov. 19.-Despite the fact
that Miss Katherine Elkins has return
ed to America, arriving in New York
advices, is now in washington, some Of
the continental papers continue to print
stories to the effect that she is stop
ping at Lugane, Switzerland. intimating
that the Ell1ins family, with the excep-
tion of the senator, recently returned to
Europe incognito. .. ...-.. I'D,
A dispatch received here from Lugane
today states that Miss Elkins is there
arranging with the bishop of Ticino
for her conversion to Catholicism and
that she was visited last Monday by
the duke of the Abruzzi.
Another dispatch from Milan, Italy,
quotes the Secolo as follows:
The Secolo has made an inquiry at
Lugane, where Miss Katherine Elkins
is stopping, and has discovered that the
duke of the Abruzzi motored to that
place on Monday incognito. On Wednes-
day Miss Elkins' brother, Davis, arriv-
ed. The bishop of Lugane came to their
hotel and later was visited by Miss
Katherine Elkins at the bishops house.
who sought to arrange for conversion
to the Catholic faith.
MARRIAGE TO TAKE PLACE SOON.
THE marriage of Miss Elkins and the
duke of the Abruzzi is likely to take
place late in December or early in Janu-
airy. King Victor Emanuel has given
his consent to the match and all diff
culties with Senator Elkins have been
removed.
Miss Elkins will take the name or
the duchess Of Terano. The Elkinses
are expected to leave soon for Nervo,
Italy. The duke has made Miss Elkins
a gift of jewels and has presented her
brother with superb hunting rifle"
1t is thought here that the Lugane
correspondents have mistaken another
party for the Elkins family. ~

AVIAT0RS HOPE TO MAKE
MANY NEW RECORDS

DENVER, Col, Nov. 17.-Now that
the success Of the first days of the avia-.
ton meet here has demonstrated that
Colorado's high altitude and rare field
atmosphere has no serious detrimental
effect on the air planes, at least OF
the Wright bi-planes, it is expected that
a new worlds record for altitude win
be established before the close of the
meet here next Monday.
The probability of a new record Is
based on the fact that the aviators
have a start of nearly a mile before
they leave the ground, leaving less than
5,OO0-foot climb between and new
altitude mark. where such a record as
the official altitude mark, or be put In
a special case, is a matter that would
probably be determined afterward.

any other charity in Chicago" asserted
Martin B. Pool. vice president of the
association. 1.-The matrons received small
salaries, the doctors charged practically
nothing for operations. Our large expense
was for food and heat.
But the public never had the interest
in it that has been shown in these worthy
charities. 1t has been an effort to main
tain the hospital ever since it opened
The directors have contributed large
