Mayor to Take Matter up With

Enforce Ordinance Against Throw
Ing Trash In Street.

Just as soon as the new city coun'
Gil committee on highways and sewers
is named and organizes, Mayor
Marquis Jones will take up with it the
matter of sweeping the city streets
and putting the storm sewers and chi
verts in various parts of the city in
repair.
For several months the matter OF
keeping the streets cleaned and pre-
Neutrality-suspicious. from the storm sew
ers after heavy rains has been giving
the mayor much trouble and worry,
and he has asked the committee on
highways and sewers TO relieve cohdl-
tons, but the old committee never
took any action.
New Equipment Needed.
City Engineer Pearse says that ne
has not the force and equipment ne
cessary to keep the streets clean ana
his recommendation TO the council
for new equipment. including four
mules, never were favorably acted up
on. The engineer says that he needs
another sweeper and several mules
in the street department and tnat 1t
will be impossible for him to keep
the streets in proper condition uhtii
this equipment is forthcoming.
Mayor Jones said yesterday that the
streets are now in a very filthy con-
dition and that he is only awaiting
the appointment of the new coahcii
committee TO make another effort to
have matters remedied. With the al
vent Of the fall season the shade trees
are shedding their leaves and these

from throwing paper. banana nuns

RULER A PATRIARCH
One of the Worlds Most Inter-

nicholas of Montenegro AffectIonate;y
Known as "the Father Of His
People" Literally Worshiped
by His Subjects.

Vienna-One os the most interest
ing monarchs in Europe. perhaps any
where, Is Prince, now King. Nicholas
Of Montenegro, who has recently cele-
brated the fiftieth anniversary OF his
reign. During this half century he
has been to the people father and a
friend, and it is asserted that he knows
every one of his subjects by name.
which probably Is an exaggeration. He
spends his summers In Cetinje and his
winters in tAntivari, down on the
Adriatic coast but has residences in
the principal towns of the kingdom
and occupies each for few weeks
every year in order to keep In touch
with local affairs. He Is very demo
cratic in his manners, and although he
dresses in the national costume Of his
country, which looks fantastic for
man of his age, his tastes are simple.
and his habits and manners are those
of country gentleman.
Nicholas was born at the little vii
lage Of Njegos, a nest in the noun
tains, in 1841. His uncle, Danilo, the
late Vladika of Montenegro, designated
him for his successor. He was edu-
Gated in Vienna, Trieste and Paris,
and was not quite twenty years old
when he was elevated to the throne.
In 1860, few months after he was
crowned. Nicholas married a Monte
negrin girl, Milena Vukotich, daughter
Of Peter Vukotich, president of the
council of state, who was also farm

in the country, and she has been

Hints for the Housekeeper.

Hints Tor the fousekeepcr.
Many women prefer to write off val
liable recipes rather than use good
cook book in the kitchen. When this
is too much trouble, have pane Of
glass cut to fit the size Of the open
book, bind the edge with the binding
used in passe partouting and always
have it handy when using the book.
as it serves two purposes, keeps the
book open and clean from the spat-
tiers in cooking.
For change add minced green
pepper to scrambled eggs with few
mushrooms. Watery custard or Gus
tard that wheys, is caused from cook
ing In too hot an oven or too long in
cooking. Set the dish in hot water
and never allow the custard to boil.
A cupful of ripe olives added to a
beef stew makes an elegant dish out
Of common one.
Use tomato juice instead of water
in the omelet.
Cleaning pots and pans is the bug
bear of the cook. 1t is hard work If
left until after the dishes are washed
and hangs over one as a burden. One
easy way Is to keep supply of news
papers in the kitchen and as soon as
greasy dish is emptied wipe it out
with the paper and wash it as soon as
possible. The paper may be burned
and SO the grease is kept from the
cloth and sink.
A dish which is a great favorite
with many is Goldfish served in a white
sauce made of sour cream instead of
sweet; 1t makes pleasing change.
Some one says that sour cream is
good in mashed potatoes. 1t is worth
trying.
For plant stimulant use a few
crystals of iron sulphate dropped into
the watering can once a week. This
chemical being a combination of iron,
sulphur and oxygen, acts as tonic
to the plants tissues.
To c,ean kid gloves with little
trouble and expense try this method:
Soturate bit Of clean muslin with
gasoline and shake IT. out until 1t is
no longer wet. With the glove on,
wipe gently from finger tips to wrist
Hang the gloves In the air for few
hours to air thoroughly.
Rice, oatmeal or other cereals left
over from breakfast make delicious
pancakes. Take equal parts of the
leftover and flour, add little sugar,
salt and one or two eggs and enough
milk to make heavy batter. Bake in
hot fat until brown. These little cakes
make a nice dessert when served with
jelly.

All Sorts Of Hints.

A good umbrella with proper care
will last for years. Never roll up an
umbrella when wet, as the dies rot it
and soon it will crack in the folds
When a wet umbrella is left to drip
in the rack, alwoys turn 1t handle end
down, as the water settled in the top

It Is strangely true that those who
have the fewest clothes are they who

wear that makes drabbled mass Of
your best gown in few months. It
is lack of care when not worn. If
hung badly or folded 6Jld put away
a gown will soon lose its freshness.
A best way to hang waists and
skirts is on coat hangers; these may
be made Of barrel hoops If the bought
en- ones are unattainable. Women
who wear their clothes well put them
on carefully and take the stitch and
brush often to their garments are al
ways we'll dressed. 1t Is an economy
to have two or more pairs of shoes to
wear, as leather, like people. need

the leather rots quickly unless aired
and changed often. Sprinkle little
powder in the shoes or burnt alum is
a good remedy for that trouble.
Use the least dressing or blacking
possible, but do not slight the brush.
Did you ever get little shock on
seeing the backs of muddy heels on
an otherwise well dressed woman?
When the heels wear out unevenly as
they do with so many Of us, have the
shoemaker put on another lift and
straighten them. An authority on
such matters says that many ills that
women are prone to are caused from
wearing turnover heels which keep the
body out of plumb.
When putting away shoes for sea-
son Of a week, STUFF them to keep
them In shape il you cannot afford a
few shoe trees.
Rough braids on the skirts wear
shoes in a very short time.
When shoes get wet let them dry
naturally away from the fire, then
rub with little sweet oil and they
will be as good as ever. Shoes should
be aired as well as clothing and
oftener. Put them in the window at
night to air

Culinary Suggestions.

S0isb0sy SNS9SSS'S'Ss
Mashed potatoes are such common
accompaniment for roast poultry or
broiled steak that 1t seems surprising
that so few cooks serve them properly.
When boiled in rapidly boiling water
with tablespoonful of salt to quart
Of water they should when cooked fall
into snowy mass at the first blow OF
the masher After draining them re.
move the cover and shake over the
fire to remove all moisture, then mash
until smooth, adding the cream or milk
heated, then the butter and salt. Pile
the potatoes into hot dish; but 90
not pat down, that makes them heavy.
Potatoes mashed and served in this
manner are a strong contrast to the
ordinary mashed potatoes as served.
Many people like cooked cucumbers,
for those few suggestions may be
welcome. When they get little too
coarse of seed to serve sliced, pare
and slice in lengthwise quarters,
scrape out all the seeds and cook them
in slightly sailed boiling water until
they are tender; then drain, butter
them, season with salt and pepper and
serve ON narrow lengths of toast well
buttered.
Fried cucumbers are very appetizing
for breakfast dish. Prepare them as
above except in the manner of slicing,
leave them in half-inch slices. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper, roll in cracker
crumbs and fry quickly on both sides
in hot bacon fat These are delicious
served with cheese omelet.
Here are some new catsups, at
least new to some:
Pear catsup.
Add two tablespoonful Of stick Gin
namon, two teaspoonfuls each OF
cloves and mace to three cupfuls of
water and simmer Is minutes; pare,
halve and core dozen rich, late
pears, lay In baking dish and pour
the spiced water over them, cover
closely and bake until the fruit is
tender. but not soft, and skim out. Re-
turn the syrup to the fire, and simmer
until reduced to one pint, strain. tie
the spices in bags (three OF them);
add one pint of strong vinegar and
three pounds of sugar to the hot liquid
add the pears, few at time. Skim
out into quart jars with a spice bag In
each, and when all are cooked, pour
the pickle over and seal hot. These
should more correctly be called sriced
pears.
