Make Your Mirror Bright.

To clean looking glasses take off the
dust then dip a sponge or clean cloth
into hot water, wiring it dry and dip it
into some spirits of wine and rub we'll
over the glass. Now dust the glass with
some powdered blue or whiting crush
ed fine and sifted through muslin, wipe
the powder quickly off again, rub the,
glass once more and then polish with
bit of silk or chamois leather. This
method takes very little longer than
when the glass is cleaned in the every.
day way. and keeps clean much longer
and looks infinitely nicer.

MACAROON DESSERT
DELICIOUS LITTLE CAKE is USED
IN VARIOUS WAYS.
Pounded Crumbs Most Delightful Ad-
dition to Many French Desserts
Delicious Recipe for Pudding
Numerous Other Ways Given.

A macaroon, plain and unadorned, is
| such a delicious little cake that many
housewives will consider it useless Ia
! Dor to elaborate it further. Neverthe-
less, 1T serves as foundation for or
an addition to many dishes which
seem particularly appropriate for
| summer dinners.
In the hands of the up-to-date con-
fectioner the macaroon has been
dressed up beyond recognition. Some
of these little cakes are favored with
chocolate and almond and decorated
on top with citron. Others are fla
vored with almonds only and filed
with a combination of candied fruits.
Still others have pink and white bon
ated on top with crown of yellow
and white frosting, often in fancy
shape. Sometimes, too, macaroons
are pressed togther, with fancy col
| ored icings between them.
Pounded macaroon crumbs are a
most delightful addition to great
many French desserts, either sprink-
led over the top or used as a thick
ening instead of bread-crumbs. With
their crisp, almond flavor they are a.
distinct addition to dessert. Ba-
varian creams, ice cold custard and
many ice cream dishes may be i'm
proved by sprinkling of pounded
macaroons, while the popular ice
cream croquette is made by rolling
croquette shaped moulds of ice cream
in powdered macaroon crumbs until
they are thoroughly coated and are
exact reproduction of real croquettesl
Here is a delicious macaroon deS-
sert: Whip half cupful of cream
till stiff and sweeten with three level
teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar. Fla
vor with little vanilla and stir in six
macaroons that have been broken into
small pieces-not powdered This
will serve three persons. Pile it into
three sherbet glasses and decorate
each with three or four candied cher
ries.
For another macaroon dessert take
half dozen macaroons in just barely
enough cold milk to cover them. Pre-
pare a pint of corn starch custard in
double boiler and add the soaked
tmacaroons to it. Stir it well to in
sure smoothness and remove from the
fire. Sprinkle the bottom of a pretty
dish with half cupful of sugar. Pour
the custard pudding into it and sprin-
kle another scant half cupful of sugar
over the dessert. Peel three large
ripe and finely favored peaches and
slice them over all while the pudding
is still hot. Other summer fruits may
be used, but the peaches seem to be
the best Properly made this is de-
ilicious and refreshing sweet. 1t should
be thoroughly chilled in the refriger-
iator before serving.

PUT IN CUTOFFS.
Chief WiImarth Eavors Enforced Rule
for Automatic ones.

That an ordinance requiring Topeka
merchants, manufacturers and others
to install in their building fronts auto
matte gas cutoffs such as are used in
Kansas City and other large cities
soon will be drawn up and presented
to the commission was indicated by
conferences at the city hall today
The key cutoffs furnished by the gas
company on mains into large buildings
are considered slow and Ineffective IN
shutting the gas from the flames. Most
of the disastrous fires of the past two
years are attributed in large part to
the fact that no quick means of cut
tuing off the gas was possible the
loss of life in several we'll remembered
fires is cited as argument for the auto
matte devices.
In any one of the available number
of such cutoffs, small glass front box
about four inches square is embedded
in the building front. By breaking the
glass and pulling a small knob an
automatic valve drops across the gas
main entering the building and ex-
plosion danger is eliminated the mo-
ment the fire is discovered.
At present the cutoffs are operated
by reaching to the main with a long
key and turning the cock. These are
kept in most buildings and the firemen
carry them on their runs, but in the
majority of cases it is necessary to
wait for the fire company or the gas
company to come and shut off the gas

with gas explosions in fires TO know

NO ACTIVITY IN FLOUR.
Kansas Product Is Looking Steadier
at New York.

New York. Dec. 1.-THE outlook in
the local flour market is no brighter
than it has been recently, but it ap-
pears that if the trade is obliged to
come in it will have to do so at figures
slightly above those previously report
ed. The mills have advanced their quo
tationS for practically all kinds of -four
which they contend they are forced to
do in order to meet wheat values. In
the meantime, however, there is no in
crease in the volume of business, which
would be dull under any circumstances
at this time of the year.
There are rumors of the large mills
making concessions to big buyers, but
SO far none of them are willing to con-
large, while admitting the existence of
credit them than they usually are for
they believe that there would be more
evidence of an increased demand
throughout the general trade than now
appears. While local stocks are heavy,
they are rather irregular and some of
the popular brands are not overburden-
ed with supplies at this point.
Kansas flour is looking a little steadi-
er, for reasons already set forth and it
is doubtful if a real full stock Kansas
| straight made from choice Kansas
| wheat could be had as low as $3.50
| The local trade declared that anything
| offered at such prices should be scruti-
nized carefully and should not be taken
| without an absolute guarantee that il
| is what it claims to be. Soft winters
are a little firmer in tone, but are ex.
ceedingly dull.

should have an automatic cutoff set in
the front of the building" said Fire
Chief Wilmarth, "but whether our
people here would want to go to the
expense of installing them I am not
prepared to say.
1T seems to me, however, that any
owner of a large building would go to
the expense of SIS to $45 for a pre-
caution that in many cases would save
his building. The expense of putting
them in would naturally fall upon the
owners. The gas company now puts
in the outside cutoffs but the firemen
must carry keys to turn them and
very often the location is hard to fiIfd -

Grain Inspectors Permission.

eight of these checks and signed Mr..
Radford'S name.
Mr. Crotts, who is the principal wit
ness against Mr.. Radford, denied that
these checks were casheG for his per-
sonal use. He said that he had the
authority from Mr.. Radford to sign
them.

you received from the checks?" J. A.

STRIPPED AND BURNED.
Man Runs into Hotel and Falls I'm
SciOuS.

New York, Dec. 17.-With his body
from ankles to neck a mass of burns
and his face and feet frost bitten, Ed
ward Dillcher of Scranton. Pa, is lying
in the hospital at North Hudson, N J.,
today in a serious condition. Dil1che-,
absolutely stripped of clothing, ran
into the bar room of small hotel in
Granton, N. J., last night and fell I'M
conscious to the floor. When he re-
vived mementairly he was only able 20
tell his name and murmur weakly:
Burned in fire by men,"
Dillcher then relapsed into uncon-
seriousness and later became delirious.
He will probably die.
The mans terrible condition and his
disjointed utterances gave rise to the
belief that he had fallen a victim to t,
band Of railroad tramps who had tor
tured and robbed him and left him in
the open to die from his injuries and
from exposure. The police today are
working on this theory and seeking all
possible clues as to the identity of his
torturerS.
Dillcher was able to say that he lived
at 16 Harrison street in Scranton.

lines; that is what the lines were built
Tor. But this does not mean that
tnere is any discrimination or hard
snip against the producer of Kansas;
on the contrary practically everything
that is produced in Kansas can be
manufactured in Kansas to quite as
good advantage as far as freight rates
are concerned as can be obtained by
exporting it to other states or to other
nations.
L do not think that any of the state
mentS have made are at variance
with what you quote as the opinion
that What the company is entitled to
ask Is fair return upon the value of
that which it employs for the public
convenience" My contention is that
we have never had a flair return" and
am conceited enough to think 1 have
demonstrated this already in my pre-
vious correspondence. At all events
I have made certain statements as to
actual returns which we have received
and 1 have offered to permit you to
examine our books to prove the truth
of these statements, which offer has
been met on your part by sonorous
silence.
Kansas and the Railroads.
AS to your statement that the rank
injustice and discrimination in railroad
rates has robbed Kansas of industries,
population and benefits that justly AMI
naturally belong to it, and that with
reasonable rates the state would have a
half million more people," I can only
enter a general denial and ask for bill
of particulars. The statement is If
course too vague to deal with in detail
and may at least venture this gen
eral statement that if rates had been in
all cases based on costs, which seems to
be your particular fetch, Kansas would
have much less population and been
much less prosperous than it is today.
You apparently have lost sight of the
statement that I have made to you 70
the effect that the Santa Fe has not in
the whole forty years of its existence
received an adequate reward for its
services.
In conclusion you say that our rail-
road is governmental agency and
that as an officer of that railroad I oc-
! cupy an important relation to the pub
! lie and you ask for STRAIGHTFORWARD
earnest reply" I do not quite endorse
your idea of our being a governmental
| agency. We are a private corporation
| with private capital at risk. The gov
| eminent guarantees US nothing and we
therefore have a right to demand fair
play. We are not getting fair play and
the adoption of your policies would be
equally disastrous to the owners of our
property and the people of Kansas.
