THOSE DISHES AGAIN

One would not mind getting dinner
If it were not for dishes afterward
A dinner represents artistic endeavor,
work in which the face may be toasted
and the back tied up in little, kinky
painful knots from much bending and
peering into the oven, but nevertheless
creative work in which the soul of the
artist rises jubilantly above the diff
ficulties. The dishes are a sad and
sodden anti-climax. With them staring
the family in the face from the fam
lily board, eating takes on the coarse
form of gluttony. Just when one feels
fortified to look fate in the eyes and
would turn to music, wit and laughter,
there enter the sad-faced dishpan, the
threatening dishcloth and all the tea
towels. One may trifle with duty and
endeaVor to eVade it by resorting to
the quite doubtful expedient of stack
ing" the debris in the sink, but there
has never been a household so philo-
sophie as to retain it's peace of mind
with a kitchen cluttered with un-
washed china. The silent protest
which comes therefrom will destroy
anything like serenity. These are Sc
rious matters for four and fiYe-room
fiatters and for modest homes where
the servant problem is an unknown
issue. Now, but unfortunately so far
only in New York, it is said to be pos
sible for the small householders to
gather up their dishes, place them in a
box and have them removed by gem
tlemanly and careful washers who
make a profession of cleaning up The
cost is small and the burden of the
dirty dish is removed from the over
burdened hands of the housewife IL
the idea be as economically sound as

THE CHATTING DISH

Never again will the chafing dish be
displaced in the favor of womanklnd.
We have found it to be thoroughly prac-
tical. 1t may be used for menus poth
large and small, and is designed to
break up formality and to add an al
Turing atmosphere to the breaking Oh
a fast.
It's use is for both men and women.
Quick suppers, dainty luncheons. Dutch
lunches and afternoon teas may all De
given by it's means. Besides being a
quick way of bestowing hospitality, II
is also an economical provider where II
is necessary.
1t can be used for a porch party.
Charming little table d'hote dinners
may be managed with the use of this
little article.
Camping out days is a good time to
resort to the convenience of the chafing
dish.
Then, too, it is most convenient for
the light lunch, chocolate, coffee, etc.,
with sandwiches or waters.
Some of the dishes most frequently
prepared by means of 1t are the Welsh

SUGGESTIONS WHEN CANNING

After canning very juicy fruits there
often remains considerable rich juice;
if this is strained and sealed separ-
ately it makes an appetizing and
wholesome drink for the winter.
When canning fruit never use a rub
ber the second time; it might be all
right, but rubbers are cheap, and the
comparative worth of the fruit will
not warrant the risk. Always put rub
bers to soak in warm water before
using.
Be careful about the use of tinware.
Do not leave lemons. jellies or any
thing acid in tin as it will change the
flavor. Any kind of crockery or gran
ite ware is much better.

THE POPULAR SAILOR

The smart sailor has declared itself
as usual after several styles have been
tried out. 1t is large, of rough straw
with a low broad crown and a brim
that rolls up a little all round, and
looks quite as we'll on matrons as on
maids, which is a great point in its
favor, at least with the matrons. Hats
have no limit in size apparently. They
have long ceased to be simply head
coverings only, but are primarily back
grounds against which the face and
coiffure are thrown up becomingly or
otherwise according to the face; though
when well chosen they often make
passing plain face appear pretty.

BREAKFAST IN SICILY

writing from Sicily, an American
tourist describes a typical breakfast
as follows: 1.-THE Sicilian breakfast
consists of strong, bitter coffee,
drowned in bowl of goats milk. The
goats are driven into town at about
o'clock in the morning to be milked
in front of or inside the house, in the
presence of the purchaser. This makes
watering impossible. Each goat herd
has from six to a dozen goats under
his charge. Both he and his goats
know the route. They come to house
and stop. Some one within indicates
how much milk is wanted. The milk
man has different measures, ranging
in size from thimble to a quart. A
quart of milk costs 10 cents

GREEN CORN PUDDING

To the pulp from ten ears of green

new milk, one tablespoon of sugar ana
one teaspoon of salt. hoy
Place the mixture in pudding dish
and cook in a slow oven for one hour.
Serve as a side dish With the meat

Vermont for years has prided itself
upon its impartiality in the matter
Of advancing the interests Of candi-
dates for nomination to a place on
the state ticket This pride has be-
come matter of tradition and senti-
ment, if there can be any sentiment
in politics. and the public would be
prompt and unsparing in denouncing
the committee that offended it. Fair
play is the rule here so far as the
party organization is concerned.
The probable candidacy of ex-Gov.
Fletcher d. Proctor for the United
States Senate at some time in the
near future is not believed by men
that know something about Vermont
politics to play any part in the pres
ent canvass at all. Mr., Proctor is
probably sure of a seat when Senator
Page retires, according to the present
trend of public sentiment and the
probability is that both Mr. Proctor
and Senator Page view the situation
in exactly the same light and have
no differences about it.
There is no secret or underground
plot in Vermont politics today, nc
matter how eager the gossip peddlers
may be to find one.-St. Adams Mes
senger.
