THE FlRELESS COOKER.

The revival of the fireless cooker
has passed through its fad stage and
settled down to a practical necessary
article. 1t hardly seems necessary to
describe its construction and merits,
yet there are many who have not &C
quainted themselves with its useful
ness, as there are SO many queries re.
garding 1t. One great beauty of the
cooker is that any one may have one,
for they may be made very satistac
tOrily at home. The manufactures
cooker is more easily kept sweet, but
one in my own kitchen, which has
been in use three years Is still in good
condition. 1t is packed with crushed
paper, and after cooking any Odorous
vegetable in it, it is taken out Of doors
and aired on the grass. The earth alb
serbs all odors in a very few hours.
The cooker above mentioned is
made from an old trunk, small-sized
one. It is lined with several layers
of newspaper, partition OF thin board
put through the center, which makes
two compartments. The utensils to
be used in each are set in and the pa
per crushed and packed in by hard
pounding. The dishes used should be
fitted with tight covers, as the secret
of successful cooker is alright
dishes. The nests made by packing
the paper around the utensils permit
their being taken out and put in
easily.
Cushions of excelsior and hay cover
each compartment tightly, and the
cooker is ready to use.
For the proper cooking of meats
there is no better device than this
cooker, as it is cooked rapidly for ten
to twenty minutes on the stove and
then as it is put into the cooker and
covered tightly it SINNERS for hours
below the boiling point. the ideal way
of cooking meat.
Rice and breakfast cereals which
take long cooking, If boiled for ten
minutes and put in the cooker are
ready in a few hours to reheat and
serve. Put the breakfast cereal in
the cooker at night for breakfast and
the fricasSee at breakfast time to be
ready for dinner.
AS a practical convenience in the
army it has been found invaluable, as
the men have been provided with hot
meals when fire would reveal their
positions to the enemy.

A Wedding Cake Novelty. -.
If the bride is as fortunate as the
one at recent wedding, she may have
a composite wedding cake. The
brides cake contained beside it's usual
ingredients, small portions of the
wedding cake of the brides parents,
her sisters and brothers, as we'll as
the silver and golden wedding cakes
Of the grand parents.
In the wedding cake which the
bride cuts there is often. hidden
ring, thimble, a dime and a raisin
These are wrapped in paraffine paper.
The one receiving the ring is properly
supposed to be the next bride, the
thimble foretells spinsterhood, the
dime wealth, in prospect, and the raj
sin an unannounced engagement.
Aside from the brides cake, which
may be either white or black fruit
cake everything is small and made so
that it can be handled without soiling
fingers or gloves. Usually the cakes
are made in sheets, then iced and cut
in squares, triangles or cubes. These
may be decorated with candied cher
ries, rose leaves or viOlets.
While most brides prefer to cut their
own wedding cake as a pretty touch
of sentiment, the fashion Of distrib-
uting small slices Of the cake, daintily
boxed, is prevailing one.

DUEL FOUGHT OVER
GIRL CAUSES DEATH
CHALLENGER DIES FOLLOWING
BATTLE TO AVANGE Al
LEGGED INSULT.
SLOWLY BLEEDS TO DEATH
Victims Adversary Is Held on Sim
pie Charge of Assault and
Battery.

Watertown. - Fighting prear'
ranged duel with his fists over an
alleged insult to girl, has cost the
life Of Clyde Dudley Of Grand Rap
ids, Mich, who challenged August
Brown, clerk at local hotel. Brown,
now held on simple charge Of as
sault and battery, may be exoner-
ated by a coroner's jury because OF
the strange conditions Of the case.
Dudley came to Watertown about
four months ago to visit a family
living near Watertown junction.
There was a daughter in the family,
a girl little over 16 years, who was
accustomed to visit frequently at the
junction hotel, where Brown was
clerk. Some time ago Brown, it is
said, told the girl to keep away from
the place, and Dudley declared this
was an insult to the girl and de-
manded that Brown fight him.
Brown is about LAC pounds in
weight, and only about 20 years of
age. Dudley is about the same age,
and weighs less than Brown. Brown
kept refusing to fight, it is said,
but Dudley kept calling him a
coward and kept pressing the fight
until it was finally arranged, &C
cording to testimony to be given at
the inquest, that the two meet in a
vacant lot near the hotel and fight
it out. There were to be no rounds,
but the two men were to keep at it
until one had enough.
Friends of both were present and
after the two had shaken hands be-
fore the fight, they met in a fierce
encounter, going to the ground al
most Immediately. The fight only
lasted few moments, when Dudley
cried out that he had had enough,
and his jaw was found to be broken
near the ear. According to the
stories Of friends, the two shook
hands and went home.
Dudley, however, was bleeding per-
sistently, and it was necessary to
send him to a hospital. The doctors
could not check the flow of blood and
he died.
The attitude of the authorities
toward Brown is shown by the fact
that he is only held on charge of
assault and battery. The claim that
the fight was forced on him and that
the two parted apparently friends
will go far, it is said, to extenuate
the charges against hm.

BONNY CLABBER.

Bonny clabber is an old time dish that
is worthy Of revival, and is good at
any meal. Allow good unskimmed milk
to sour without disturbing it. After
about the second day, dish it out in
spOOnfuls and serve with sugar and
nutmeg busted over it.
Nothing could be more delicious
than Devonshire cream served either
on berries or on the breakfast cereal.
Scald rich new milk, at least two
quarts, put in a cool place for the
cream to rise. The next day remove
the cream and serve OH fruit or cereal.
Fruit omelets make pleasant
change for breakfast dish. The fruit
may be added to the omelet and
cooked in it or served around it as a
sauce.
For hygienic reasons it is well to
have days throughout the summer
when a meal may be omitted entirely
or serve something very simple.
A favorite breakfast is composed of
rolls torn open and toasted in the
oven, then lightly buttered, to be
served with coffee and a cold cereal
in which some fresh fruit was stirred
while hot, this to be eaten with cream.
For another breakfast try whole to-
matoes that have been peeled the day
before and placed on ice, season with
salt, pepper and little sugar and eat
with thick cream and toasted bread

CHERRIES ARE RIPE.

The delicious cherry is one Of our
most satisfactory fruits for canning
and preserving, as it keeps it's color
and flavor SO well.
A well-tried recipe for preserving
them fresh, if carefully followed, keeps
them in such good condition that it
is hard to tell them from the fresh
fruit.
Pit the fruit and mix with equal
bulk of sugar, let stand II hours, stir
ring occasionally so that the sugar
is completely dissolved before can
ming. See that the cans are well ster-
ilized and air tight. Fill them with
the prepared fruit, seal and put in a
cool cellar. The secret Of keeping any
fruit in this way is the low tempera-
ture.
Other fruits keep equally well, cur
rants are especially fine canned in
this manner. Any fruit canned with
out cooking is more desirable for sal
ads and desserts.
Directions for Canning.
Fruit for canning should be fresh
ferment Allow nethird its weight
in sugar for canning, boiling the sugar
with water to dissolve, cooking ten
minutes before adding the fruit By
so doing the fruit is kept in better
shape.
Cook small quantity CT fruit at
time, put into sterilized jars, fill with
the boiling strip to overffowing If
spoon Is inserted between the fruit
and the jar the bubbles rise to the top
and break. Screw the tops on tight
and when cool tighten again.
When filling jars, place them On a
cloth wrung out of hot water.
To SteriIize Jars.

water (cold). Set them on a trivet,
and surround them with cold water

no ride too long; no country too stiff.

of Washington. He was bemoaning
his luck when Miss Howard laughed
at him.

ventured. Il don't see why you make
so much fuss over SO little a thing!p
One reply led to another and the
upshot of it ali was that Miss Howard
was invited to go on the next ninety
mile ride, and the invitation was as
promptly accepted then and there. I'm
der the rules prescribed by the de-
partment the officers must make nine
ty miles in three days. They must
ride at least thirty miles each day for
three days in succession. Each Of

gives him twenty-one hours in three
