Although Roswell had am income OF
something like $4,000 hast year for
municipal purposes, or seven times as
much as the city of Santa Fe, the out
going Democratic city administration

Ths existence of the Bateman act is
not sufficient notice to persons fuTn-

The normal income of the City of

Yet the main contention of the New
Mexican that a municipality should
not ~repudiate or attempt to repudiate

THINGS A WOMAN SHOULD

How to Discover Adulteraton of Cotton in Aleqed
Wooen Goods-Plannng An Economical Afternoon
Dress-To Test Wearing Qualities of Silk Materials
By HELEN ID. PURDY

Fabric knowledge comes with eyperi-
ence and familiarity with goods. There
Is certain feeling to cottOn-and-wool-
mixed cloth that makes us look for the
COTTON even when il Is skilfully con-
cealed. The infallible test for this. of
course, Is to unrayel a thread-two
threads In fact-one In the cross-width
and one on the length a WOODEN
Unread breaks with an Irregular. fringy
KIND OF severing OF the Gbres. while
cotton makes a clean, crisp break.
Even here we have 10 consider some
o1 the processed cottons. which are
given character more like silk. with
consequent softness that fosses ont
iather than breaks. One way of in
PRODUCING cotton into supposedly ALL
WOOL fabrics is by making A cotton

course untwistlng and breaking a

Cotton and Linen.

Cottons sold as cottons depend most
upon discriminating tasto IN selection.
Cotton foulards and cotton voilcS are
made up on the same lines generally
as their silk and wool namesakcs. The
foulards have silky finish and close
ly follow the silk designs. Cotton
wolfe IS proving a most satisfactory
material. crisp and light and very much
liked for summer costumes. There
are many cotton fabrics intended for
suitings that are woven In close imita-
ton OF popular linens and tussahs.
Usually they are sold as cottons. 1t Is
when buying linens. sold as pure linen,
that we must again watch for the un-
credited cotton thread. To an expert
enced shopper there is a certain crisp
ness TO the feel OF linen, whose lack
is quickly recognized if the fabrics
purity is open TO question. There are,
TO be sure, different grades of flax,

Although this term is not used now.
the process is nevertheless largely
practiced. Very tough meat and some
fish. also some Kinds of game. are said
to become improved In favor by twice
cooking, with an interval of one day
Indeed, when cooking Is performed on
large scale. most Of the dishes served
are in manner twice cooked. We
have two examples TO quote, viz: Bis
cult and toast. where this method Is
employed. The biscuit is perhaps the
oldest example. for IBIS" means twice.
and cult means baked or cooked, al
though this word is now but seldom
used in the literal sense. Toast, how
ever. serves as good example OF
twice cooking: so do pulled bread and
rusks. In these articles the change to
dextrine Is more complete than In once
baked bread or biscuits. and therefore
the food becomes more soluble
