STEAK A LA BRlGAND
A CAMPFIRE DELlCACY

The art Of cooking beefsteak "a la
br!gand" is thus described in Golfers
by Mary Edith Gris1old:
First you build large ire OF hard
wood-oak, hickory or willow. II you
can get Through this rule. like all
rules for &C okins, must and VIII con-
form to the law that you Will use what
YOU have. Build fire In little hol-
low, natural one between rocks or
dug out. II nee essary. Pile on at once
ali the wood you will require, rs you
want the wood TO reach the glowing
coal state before YOU use 1t.
While the fire is progressing. cut a
young hickory saplirg. an inch thick
or so and seven or eight feet long, to
use for spit. Peel off the bark and
whttle smooth all the rough places
whore the twigs were broken off. Mean
time others OF the party are preparing
the potatoes, onions and meat.
The potatoes are peeled and cut into
half inch thick slices, in the middle of
which is cut hole large enough to
admit the saplng spit Slice rhe onions
so the small inner circle will slip out,
leaving a hole large enough for the
spit. Slice the bacon very thin and
cut the meat into pieces not more than
an inch tick. and little less than four
inches across.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

MY little son, boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc.
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used TO stick to
his skin and in removing them il used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application OF Cuticura Oint
ment began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced &c
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now / can say that he is
entirely cured. and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam

until all are strung. Then sprinkle
well with salt and pepper. When the
fire has burned down to the live en-
bers, place the spit over the Goals, close
enough to broil, but not so near as to
let IL burn. II there are no rocks upon
which to support the spit at each end,
use notched sticks driven into the
ground. The spit Will have to be
turned occasionally and must be
watched continually.
While the steak Is broiling. bury the
potatoes remaining unsliced In the hot
ashes to roast and start the coffee boil
Ing at one side OF the fire. BY the time
the meat Is done, the potatoes and on
ions will be done likewise, and the
bacon will be crisp but not greasy. For
those who like their beef rare, pieces
can be cut off first. leaving the rest to
broil little longer.
Some one slices the bread in good
hungry style; another buffers It for the
tantalizing odor OF beef broiling over
Goals, cingling with the incense Of
coffee. has coaxcd an appetite which
would make even less toothsome food
taste good.
Then comes the moment when the
brigand chief proclaims the meal ready.
He takes the spit from the fire and
brings ii to the company sitting around
for forks. Each selects his favorite
morsel on the spit and holds 1t, while
the chief cuts IL off with big knife.
Beef broiled I'm this fashion is deli
cious not only because of the tang of
open air. and the unique setting Of the
woodland. but chiefly because such
broiling lets the juices OF the meat
and potato and onion flow into one an
other. thus giving an appetizing SAVIOR

TO WASH EMBROIDERY.

Those who have fair success with
washing white embroideries find that
colorcd pieces soon lose color through
laundering. Yet there Is NO reason why
such work cannot be skilfully done by
the amateur laundress.
Indeed, IL is much safer to trust to
ones own washing than to give hand
some embroideries to a laundress who
Is not especially trained In fine needle
work.
A good soap Is OF utmost impor-
tance. This should be a pure white
soap in the fine toilet grades. Avoid
ordinary washing soaps, also washing
powders, ammonia. soda or borax.
Make strong lather Of warm soap
suds and wash quickly, not rubbing
hard. and paying special attention to
soiled spots. Rinse four times through
cold water. squeeze out most Of the
moisture without wringing, and iron
while still damp.
If the piece is to heavy to iron with
out long drying put it within a thick
Turkish towel and press out most Of
the moisture. Never have wet pieces
Of embroidery heaped upon each other.
Sometimes owing to poor rinsing
after first washing, the color Of the
silk will stain the foundation material.
This can usually be overcome by keep
ing on rinsing in an abundance Of wa
ter.
When colored embroidery Is done on
washing silk it should be put through
q soft and tepid water. the drying
should be quickly done, and instead
Of ironing the material should be pulled
and stretched into smoothness. Tack 1t
when tightly stretched into position,
ard leave until entirely dry, seeing that
the threads OF the material are in right
direction. II the embroidery itself
needs pressing run moderately hot
iron over the back Of work.
Sometimes foundation materials are
too dead white after laundering. They
can be given a creamy tint by treating
as one does laces-that Is by dipping
In water 10 which a little coffee or
tea has been added.
Iron on the wrong side, with the
work face down into a thick flannel
or Turkish towel covered with fine
linen. Use a moderately hot iron and
press each part until dry. The work
is improved by making a pad OF fine
until no drops can fall from It.: then
press It on back of embroidery and iron
at once, moving the iron slowly and
not taking Off until all moisture from
the pad is evaporated.
If linen Is much wrinkled 1t should
be put between two linen cloths and
ironed face downward. This takes of
the ugly shine at the back and makes
scorching less probable.
If good qualities Of colored silks or
merceriged cottons are used. there Is
little danger Of running. With cheaper
grade material 1t Is wise to set the
color by soaking In cold salt water
or in a little sugar OF lead.
Never hang colored embroideries in
the sun to dry. Nothing fades them
more quickly.

A NEW BATH SPONGE.

Those who dislike sponges because
OF the round shape. and those who
do not care to battle with washcloths
because OF the texture. will both be
satisfied with the new sponge wash
cloth, which Is six or eight inches
square. and which Is made up of small
spinge particles left over from the
trimming OF expensive bath sponges

tuberculosis in the West Indies.

Cuba, Porto Rico and Trinidad. In
Cuba there are over 100000 deaths from
tuberculosis every year, and the death
rate from this disease is nearly three
times as high in the United States.
In Porto Rico there are over 5000
deaths every year out of 100000 In.

from tuberculosis in Port-au-Spain, the
only place where figures are available,
was AIS In 1909, nearly three times

In the unsanitary, dark. and poorly

islands.
