The government lays down a recipe
for marrow bones."
Bones are cut in convenient
lengths" say the eXeprts, "the ends
covered with a little piece of dough
over which a Toured cloth is tied and
cooked in boiling water for two
hours. After removing the cloth and
dough the bones are placed upright
on toast and served. Prepared as
above the bones may also be baked

One way to economize on YOUR
meat bill is to extend the meats flaw

substances that are not meat. For
instance, serve the meat with Jump
lings, pie crusts or on toast and bis
cults. Your meat taste is satisfied in
this way, while really you have eaten

hominy and mashed potatoes on meat

this delusion.

President Jennings and Secretary
Reardon conferred Friday in regard
to the arrangements for the coming
meeting and tournament Of the State
Firemen's Association in Sumter,
June 21st 22nd, 23rd.
In view of the fact that the time is
short and nothing has been done to-
wards raising funds or otherwise
making arrangemnts it was decided

the Chamber of Commerce on next
Monday evening, April 18th, at 6:20
o'clock. at President jennings office
At this meeting committees will take
steps to complete arrangements. Sec

Sumter can not afford to fall down
on the firemen's tournament, but
something has to be done Immediate

work to be done, committees to be
appointed. funds 20 raise, and other
matters which can not be put off un-

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Some Trivial Cases Come Before tho

Several small cases have come be-
fore the Recorder in the last few

with biscuit cutter.
The cook book gives a long list of
meat pies that can be used to SUD-
plant beefsteaks, chops and prime
rib roasts. Meat turnovers, Turkish
pilafs, pork and beans, bacon and
COW peas. Mexican beef and a baricot
or mutton are some of the dishes that
experts find can be set on the table
at small cost and at the same time
give satisfactory nourishment.
The cook book tells how to make
use of the leftover corned beef hash:
"A slice of toast is sometimes used
under the hash. This suggests a way
OF utilizing small amount of corn
beef hash which would otherwise be
insufficient for a meal"
The department recomemnds that
wives be generous with their stuffing.
or course, you can not put stuffing
into pieces of meat that have no place
for it, but it is we'll If possible to cut
a pocket in the meat and put the
stuffing in anyhow
1T is often WE'LL" the exeprts add,
ito prepare more stuffing than can
be put into the meat and to cook the
remainder in the pan beside the meat.
Some cooks cover the extra stuffing
with buttered paper while it is cook
ing and baste it at intervals.
or course this is only another way
of carrying out that meat flavor ex-
tension idea.
The departments investigators find

They took pounds of shin, one me-

UNCLE SANS COOK BOOK.
Tells Some Secrets That Everybody
Should Have.

The secretary of agriculture's cook
book is out. In it Uncle Jimmy Will
son, through his experts, tells the
country how to make the poor cuts
Of meats taste as good as the best,
and also how to get just about as
much nourishment from them.
The experts who prepared the book
are c. p. Langworthy, Pm. D., and
Carolina l.. Hunt, A. B. They have
found that the cheaper cuts of bees,
such as the brisket, the chuck rib,
the hank and the neck, are just about
as rich in the substances which build
up and repair the important tissues
OF the body as are the porterhcuse
and sirlion steaks. For instance in
chuck rib there is 10 per cent. nf
protein, as compared with 21.9 in
portorhouse steak.
Also in regard to the flavor Of
meats, the departments cook book
says there Is a general mlsapprehen-
sion Of the facts. Most persons be-
lieve that the expensive meats are the
best favored, while in reality cuts on
the side of the beef often taste bet
ter than the higher priced cuts.

cation" says the book, this fact fire.
quently Is not detected"
The secretarys experts find that
there is a good deal of Unnecessary
waste in the average home in treat
ing the fats that come on high priced
cuts Of meat. The loins and ribs of
beef, for instance, contain from 20
to rs per cent. Of fat. Instead Of
being thrown out into the garbage
can, this, according to Secretary Will
sons cook book, ought to be utilized.
"If butter Is the fat used in maxi
Ing crusts for meat pies and in pre-
pairing the cheaper cuts" says the
official cook book, "there is little
economy involved. The fats from
other meat should be saved, as they
may be used in place of butter in
such cases as we'll as in preparing
many other foods. The fat from sau-
sage or from the soup kettle or from
a pot Of roast. which is savory be-
cause 1t has been cooked with veg
etables, is peculiarly acceptable"
The department gives minute in
structions as to the best process for
trying out and clarifying fat and for
making the drippings savory.
Uncle Jimmy Wilson's experts are
strong on gravy. They think no
chance should be overlooked to util-
ize the gravy. They also recomemnd
greater use of bones. Almost any
bones can be used for soup, they say,
and especially the rib bones, If they
have a little meat left on them, can
be grilled or roasted into palatable
dishes.
I'm this connection it may be not
ed," says the book, that many of the
dishes popular in good hotels are
made of portions of meats such as

for six hours. With the butter. flour
and the soup from the bone a brown
sause is made, and to this is added
the meat and the marrow.
The cook book tells how to make
tough meat tender by pounding II or
soaking it in vinegar how to accen-
tuate the flavor of tasteless meats.
how to make good milk gravy for salt
pork, much venison out of plain beef
and kitchen bouquet.

free to all who apply to the depart-
ment.

SUMNER SCHOOL FOR SUMTER,
The School is an Assured Fact For
This Summer

sumter county is to have a sum-
mer school this summer. 1t had been
a custom to have the school every
summer until last year when the
State Superintendent of Education
would not allow the County Board
to have, it stating that there was no
law authorizing it, and the members
or the board would be personally liable
for the expense. Now he is advocat-
ing the schools for all the counties.
Sumter will have the school, but
the details have not yet been perfect
ed. Announcement Of the time and
the teachers will be announced later.

STATE AND COUNTY RESULTS
Democrats Carried Only One
County Office.
Women of State May Now Vote.

The Democratic tidal wave of victory
that swept over the nation Tuesday
failed to splash over the borders of the
state of Washington and it remains
safely in the Republican column by q
majority OF $4,000 or more. All three
congressman are elected and the Repub-
lican Supreme court ticket. LaFollette's g
majority in this district, the third ia
fully $4,000.
The women of the state are granted
he right to vote by a good majority,
the details of which are not yet known.
The amendment providing for the gu
bernatorial succession also carried.
The state legislature is Republican by
a good majority, insuring the election of
Poindexter as United States senator.
In the state senate there will probably
be only five Democrats and in the house
but ten.

NEWPORT VOTED FOR LICENSE.
Majority of % Shows Reversal
of Sentiment.
Local Vote on County Ticket.

Election day passed off very quietly
in Newport. Some quiet work was done
and an effort was made to get out the
votes, but there was no attendant ex-
element. Considering the unfavorable
weather good proportion of the vote
was cast.
Most every one was surprised at the
complete reversal of the town on the
question of licensing the sale of liquor
within the incorporated limits. Little
over a year ago, on Sept. s, 1909, the
town by majority of l6 abolished the
saloon. On Tuesday the vets proved in
the majority, the vote on the proposal
being 1l2 to 80. Up to the time of be-
Cunning the count there were but few
who would have believed this possible,
even the most sanguine Of the vets feel
Ing that the day was lost to them. It is
very evident that the silent voter, whose
attitude on the matter could not be de-
termlned, was present in large numbers,
as the result was entirely different from
all polls of the situation.
Under the local option law the IL
censed saloon cannot begin business
until the first of the year. 1t is not
compulsory on the council to grant IL
cense, but it is assumed that the will of
the majority, as expressed in the elec-
ton, will be needed.
During the past week there was pc
tition circulated, representing the views
of a large number of representative citi-
zens on the matter of saloon regulation,
the recommendations of which are that
the number of saloons should be limited
to three or possibly four, that license
fee of $1,000 year be imposed, that clos
ing hour be II p. M, that no card tables,
games of any device, or chairs be per-
mitted in the saloon, that but one en-
trance be permitted. and that there be
an open view from the street of the
whole interior.
The action of the town council cannot
be anticipated at present, but it is likely
that new saloon ordinance will be
drafted, and that same will contain pro-

Socialists Gaining Strength

Marked gains in the socialist vote
throughout New York state are shown
in the returns from the elections. Fig
ures available indicate total vote for
Charles Edward Russell. nominee for
governor of IS, 900 votes, nearly double
the 1894 votes of 1908. In New York
city Russell received 27, 1880.
Most significant however, are the in
creases upstate. Sixty-fve cities that
gave vote of 1850 year ago, show
28,OOO this year. Outlying districts
which formerly showed less than 10
votes, this year report from 100 to 500.
Among the large cities that show
substantial socialist gains are Buffalo
Schenectady, Syracuse and Rochester.

DEMOCRATS GAIN IN NATION
Will Control Next House of Rep
resentatives.
Elect Total of Nine Governors.

The election of Tuesday proved land
slide for the Democrats, such political
upheaval as usually follows revision of
the tariff. In many states the warning
Republican factions united with the
Democrats in defeating the l,alty nom
inees, and the resulting housekeeping
may ultimately prove of benefit to the
party.
The most interesting contest was that
of New York. Theodore Roosevelt
threw his strenuous power into the cam
paign for Stimson, his choice for gov
ernor. Tammany and Wall street COM
bined in the support of Dix. the Demo-
cratic candidate. Stimson carried the
upstate region, but with only 5000
majority. Dix's majority in the whole
state is in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Late returns on the national house,
based on complete but unofficial returns,
show the Democrats will have safe
working majority of 80.
The outcome OF the United States sem
ale is now definitely settled. The Re-
publicans are assured of IL new sena-
tors. which, with "a holdover senators.
gives them total of 81. The Demo-
Gratis are assured of Is new senators,
which, with rs holdovers, gives them a
total of 40.
One senatorship is still in doubt-the
successor OF Mr.. Carter, in Montana,
where there is probability of a tie. A
Democrat will succeed Beyeridge in In
diana.
These determined totals, however,
leave Republican majority in the sem
ate as follows: Total membership, go F.;

81; Democrats, 40; doubtful. l.

cred assured are from California, Con-

Eight Killed In Freiehi Wreck

The Great Northern Railroad had
one of the worst freight wrecks it has
ever experienced on the Spokane divis-
ion Saturday night between Milan and
Chattaroy. Westbound freight No. 451
crashed into an "apple extra" eastbound
about four o'clock in the morning. Fail
ure of the crew of 451 to wait at Milan
is said to be the cause of the wreck, but
as the conductor and engine crew of tho
train were killed in the wreck 1t ia prob
able that the truth will never be known.
The engineer and brakeman on the
apple extra and three tramps that
boarded the train at Newport were also
killed.
About rs loaded freight cars were
piled in heap and totally consumed
by fire and the two engines were
smashed beyond repair. The FIRE
burned with such fierceness that an en-
gine from Spokane was summoned to
subdue the flames. Owing to the diff
Guilty in getting at the wreck it took 48
hours to clear the track. the first train
to get through being No. 4, Monday
night.

noon all passenger and mail trains were

Bonner county Republicans split their
ticket to such an extent that, though the
party carried the county, the following
Offices were carried by the Democrats:
Sheriff, prosecuting attorney, one repre-
sentative and two of the three county
missioners. The endorsement OF
these men by the dries was largely the
cause of their election. Recent scandals
in the party over miscounting primary
returns and non-enforcement of the law
contributed to the result.
