SAUCE for cottaae PUDDING.

A good sauce to serve with cottage
pudding, now when the season of
strawberries is here, is to add to the
hard sugar sauce most usually served
with this pudding a half cupful of
mashed Strawberries. This gives a
delicious flavor to the sauce. This
sauce is also good served on a hot
bread pudding.

As to Measuring Windows

The greatest care must be exercised
in measuring the size of the window
sash to be fitted with shades. A
slight fraction of an inch may make
a misfit. It is wise to use a wooden
yardstick rather than a tape measure,
for there is always danger of a tape
measure stretching a little with con-
slant use.

Cabbage for faded Spring Appetit,

For this spring season, when every
thing seems a bit tasteless, try baking
cabbage with tomato sauce.
Cut the cabbage into large pieces
and boil it in two waters, draining off
the first after it has boiled few min
utes.
When the cabbage is tender cover
the bottom OF a baking dish with it,
sprinkle bread crumbs over and turn
in some tomato sauce.
Continue in the same way until all
are used
Then cover the top with buttered
crumbs and bake about half an hour.

A STATEMENT.

Il is to be assumed that no citizen
would wf1fully or naIiciously say that
the republican party had wasted 500.
600 at Meadow brook The fact that
such & statement has been made and
published broadcast makes it imper-
zttve that the exact truth should be
known to every voter
The new Meadow brook dam was a
necessity Il was built to take the place
of an old dam which was laid on
gravel foundation and was unservice-
able because there was a large loss
OF potable water continuously from
that source.
Land vas purchased and a new site
for the dam Eas selected that a larger
basin for holding Bog meadow water
might be formed and the Improvement
s one that had been advised by dem
ocratic superintendent OF the water
works for several years
This financial transaction may be
officially stated for the benefit of the
voters as follows:
Total appropriation. $4,000
Cost Of land ----S 2,4S2-50
Cost Of new dam 11.3Iz-13
locals s13.7s4.ss 2t.oOO

This makes It apparent that there
Ss no truth whatever in the statement
that s7csoe has been wasted at Mead
ow brook
We al know how these two water
sheds were ru1erestiueted by the en-
EiDeers who were called here TO ex-
anime them and TO recommend new
watsrzhsds for development. Only one
OF them advised the expenditure of
q penny there. and that was Engineer
that an outlay of more than $4,000
there would be q waste of money.

that this investment was warranted
and all apprehensions became a mat

IN 1908 the rainfall tumbIed from an
annual measurement Of 1851 inches

PUTNAM s2, NEW LONDON 1-a.
Massacre of the Innoeents in satur-
 days Game.

There never was before, perhaps there never will be again, such slaughter of the innocents-no. inno- cents is not the word; it doesn't fit as the New London basketball team, alleged champions of eastern Connecti- cut, suffered in Hammond hall New Years. afternoon. It's equal has never been seen on a basketball court in Windham county and when the game was over and the bowling Bedlam Of noise had finally subsided this score was announced: Putnam 32, New Lon don 1-2. Under the amateur rules of scoring, 2 points for a field goal, 1 for a foul goal, the score would have been just double. New London made three field foals in the game
 Never, from the first blast of the whistle, did the visitors look the part of champions. N. Dupre caged the first goal in the first minute of play and from then on he shot them in like rain and the Putnam score swelled and between a mudscow and an aeroplane and when the first half had ended Put nam had made 20 1-2 points to New London's 1-2.
 The Putnam five played far and away the fastest ball they have shown this season. New London had nothing in their blue book that fitted the case and it was early evident that the only doubt as to the outcome was the size of the score.
 The visitors tried all the basketball stunts they knew, even working in some of the when we are at home with-our -own-crowd style of play but there was no coming back for them. Marland was at center for Danielson and what he had a chance to do was big satisfaction for some things that happened to him in New London re- gently. Marland played such good game that Davis tried to stop him with a few choice broncho busting stunts then he probably took a New Years resolution to be reasonable.
 This after he had been given a. few whirls and bumps on the floor for be- ing too strenuous. The Danielson peo- pie in the audience-and there was a bunch of them-smiled some. It helped square accounts. N. Dupre was the star of the game, equalling Sid" Mar lands record of IS baskets, made Christmas, during the game. He got them from all angles and played his best game of the year.
 It was a case of Marland getting the tap on the ball and the center batting it over to N. Dupre and then a basket. Ldzotte also played his fastest and best game of the year, as did Hetie and D. Dupre. The team work was better, the passing was better, than anything the local men have yet shown.
 But it was the finish of the game that was extraordinary. It's like may not be duplicated fin years. With an overwhelming lead and three minutes to play the Putnam five stopped trying for baskets and began passing the ball back and forth. New London, made desperate by the Imaginable situation and wildly cheering crowd of specta- tors, made frenzied attempts to get the | elusive sphere and then submitted
