LoQUATs

Loouats are not as universally used
as they should be. They make delicious
pies and may be put up for future use
in many ways.
LOQUAT PRESERVES.
Use the largest fruit. Remove the
skins by pulling off with a knife as
you would with tomatoes. Seed and
halve, carefully removing the white
skin that envelops the seed. Add spices
according to taste. Lemon extract and
cinnamon are recommended, though
not enough of either should be used to
give a lemon or cinnamon flavor, Dut
simply to give a snap to the preserves
The loquat is a very handsome pre-

FIRELEss COOKERS

Of all the inventions for tightening
the work of the housewife, it seems to
me, there is nothing of greater value
than the "fireless cooker" The theory
on which they are built is not new
one. 1t is the same principle on which
the refrigerator is constructed. While
there are as many forms of cookers as
there are refrigerators, they are all
built to retain the heat the greatest
possible length of time.
The simplest one is, of course, the
old-fashioned, homemade "hay box" q"
that has been made for generations.
An old trunk or box was tightly packed
with hay or excelsior, with nests left
in it for the accommodation of tightly
closed buckets.
These answered the purpose very
we'll, and the meat cooked in them was
probably as tender as that cooked in
the most scientifically constructed
cooker on the market, but there was
a great draWback-the filler became
steam soaked and was soon muSty and
unwholesome. This was partly over
come by making pads which could be
taken out and summed and aired or re-
filled occasionally. This, however, was
both unsatisfactory and troublesome.
The first ones commercially made
were after this style, but as the de-
mand increased and their use became
more general they were constantly i'm
proved, and now we find them metal
lined throughout, and they may be
washed and scalded like milk bucket.
The space between the two walls
is packed with asbestos, mineral wool
or some other good insulator. The
vessels for cooking are of granite
ware or aluminium.
With these cookers the food is placed
in 10 I1ta stove
boiled, varying lengths of time accord
ing to the food to be cooked, from ten
minutes to half an hour. Then without
removing the covers the boiling food
is shut in the cooker, where it remains
hot for hours.
By this method the poorer cuts of
meat may be utilized. as they become
perfectly tender and none of the juices
are lost For cereals the cooker is
IDEAL They should be put in at night,
and in the morning your breakfast is
ready to serve. Steamed puddings,
brown bread, rice puddings, soup,
vegetables, meats, in fact nearly every
thing can be done as well or better
than in any other way.
When you wish to roast or bake,
heat the bricks or stones that are
furnished with most cookers. Put one
under your utensil. Put into the uten-
sill whatever you wish to cook, with
rack over it. Place the other brick
on the rack and close the cooker. 1t
will take about twice as long as IL
cooked over a blaze, but it costs moth
ing to run it after the bricks are hot,
and there is practically no danger of
burning 1t keeps all disagreeable
odors out of the house. You may COOK
onions, caulifiower or cabbage without
your neighbors knowing what you are

MAN SOUGHT HERE
IS HELD IN FRESNO
Mystery Over Non-Appearance of AI~
legged Burglar Explained Away
by Record of Charges
Filed in North

Mystery over the non-appearance OF
M. j. Murphy charged with burglary,
in court before Judge Davis to be ar
raigned yesterday resulted in bench
warrant being issued for his arrest, al
though he was supposed to be in the
county Jail. 1t was finally discovered
he is in Fresno, where he is being trled
on a prior charge of burglary.
Several days ago the date OF Mur-
phys arraignment arrived and he was
demanded in court. He could not be
found, and the court, presuming that
he was out on bail and had become
mixed in his dates, continued the ar
raignment to yesterday morning.
When he failed to appear yesterday
morning Judge Davis decided 1T was
high time to do something to uphold
the majesty of the law and he ordered
that Murphy be arrested and brought
into court.
Bailiffs went on an investigating tour
and found Murphy had not been al
lowed his freedom on bail. This meant
that he had either escaped from the
county Jail or was confined under an
other name, and hence the mystery.
Working on this theory they sought
the taller and found that Murphy had
been taken to Fresno for trial on
prior charge several days ago and the
proceedings had been carried out in the
ordinary manner.

DURBlN TO CONTEST
FOR CITY GARBAGE
Head of Vernon Live Stock Assocla-
ton and Hotels and Restaurants
Combine for Disposal
Of Table Refuse

More legal battles over the coiiectlon
of garbage are likely to follow between
charles Alexander, the garbage con-
tractor. and p. J. Durbin. who is really
the Vernon Live Stock association.
Durbin had collected the citys gar
bage until Alexander took charge OF
II and had been feeding 1t to his hogs
in Vernon. He notified w. M. Hum
nhreys, inspector of public works, yes
terday that he did not intend TO go out
of the hog raising business In vernon
hut would try to get the garbage from
the hotels and restaurants that is not
garbage. These hotels and restau-
rants are sorting their table refuse
and calling part of it garbage and the
rest of II they are selling to Durpln
under some other name.
The civic committee of the Woman's s
club of San Pedro yesterday filed
petition calling the attention OF the
hoard to the fact that no provision had
been made for collecting the garbage
at the harbor. They say they want
their part of the city as clean and
healthful as other parts. Specifiea-
tIons for the collection of garbage in
San Pedro have been adopted by the
board of public works and referred to
the city attorney for his approval.

MAY ABOLISH LICENSE

Private water companies, nearly all
of which show a deficit instead of a
surplus, should not be forced to pay
any license fee. is the opinion of the
finance committee. The committee
sent the reports of these water COM
panies to the public utilities commits
sion for a report. These companies
have complained that the license fee
of S25 a month which is assessed
against them is unjust, inasmuch as
they make no profit on their water.
Most of these private companies are
maintained in connection with land
development. and the profit is made on
the land and the water thrown in for
good measure.
