Grape Fruit.

GTdpc FTutt.
Grape fruit owing to its bitter prin-
ciple was on its first introduction
more of a curiosity than an epicurean
delight. It is a fruit, however, that
grows upon one. 1t is now generally
accepted as a wholesome fruit valu-
able also for its medicinal virtues.
Owing to the high price Of grape
fruit it is not as commonly used as
the orange. The most universal man.
ner of serving grape fruit is to cut
in halves and eat with a spoon. Served
after standing on ice with a little
sugar added there is no more ap-
petizing breakfast fruit to serve.
Grape Fruit Ice.
Extract the Juice from three or
four grape fruit. Boil the rind in a
quart of boiling water for Is minutes.
Make a syrup Of two cupfuls of sugar
and one of water and the Juice Of one
lemon, cook until thick, add the water
that the peeling was cooked in to the
fruit Juice and freeze.
Grape Fruit Sherbet.
Extract the juice from the desired
number of grape fruit and add about
two-thirds of a cupful of sugar and
one-third of a cup of water for each
average sized fruit. Dissolve a table.
spoonful of gelatine for six grape
fruit. Boil the juice and sugar five
minutes, add the dissolved gelatine
and freeze. When half frozen add the
well beaten whites of two eggs. Serve
with preserved cherry on each dish

Care Of Furs.

Furs are needed nearly the year
around in our uncertain climate and
many women do not put them away
at all.
Furs that are often used need con-
stant watchfulness and frequent sun
ming and airing. They should be kept
in air-tight bags and hung where they
will not be forgotten.
Very heavy long coats and furs,
rugs and wraps should be sent to a
professional packer. These firms keep
them in cold storage and are care
fully preserved from moths. Such
furs should be carefully tagged, SO
that no exchange will be made. Where
furs are packed at home, as most
furs are, they should be we'll cleaned
before putting away. A soiled spot is
often the nesting place for moths.
Rub dry bran or cornmeal into the
durable furs and powdered magnesia
into sable, ermine and chinchilla.
When very dirty, meal may be mixed
with gasoline before using. Do not
rub too vigorously. Never hang on q
line and beat, as such treatment will
mean torn skins.
In brushing use stiff brush, part
ing the hair evenly and getting at the
felt. To remove any cleaning meal
mans hat brush is good.
Sun and air furs for several days
before packing away. Brush with the
nap of the fur. Small furs If wrapped
in newspaper are we'll protected, as
moths dislike the printers ink. After
wrapping in paper tie up in a thick
cotton bag; a pillow case makes
good bag. A few cedar twigs put into
the top of the bag or cedar chips may
be used, but many successful furriers
use no preservatives when using this
method.

LONGWORTH'S
KEYNOTE SPEECH
DELIVERS ADDRESS AS TEMPO.
RARY CHAIRMAN OF REPUB-
LIcAN STATE CONVENTION.
ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE GOOD
Principal Issue Before the People
To-day Is That of the Tariff-Bids
the Hosts of Democracy
"Come On"

Columbus, O.-Congressman Mich
olas Longworth, of Cincinnati, as tenn
porary chairman of the Republican
state convention, Tuesday afternoon,
said, in part:
Gentlemen of the Conventional appre-
ciate more than words can express the
signal honor of having been chosen to-
preside over this Republican convention.
From my seat among the delegates
have seen, during the past ten years this
gavel held by men of national reputation,
men whose names are household words.
have listened to the speeches as temper
airy chairman of that eminent Republican
and former governor, Myron 7. Herrick;
of him who was one of the most dominant
and forceful figures of his day, the we'll
beloved Mark Hanna; of that man of real
eloquence, whose fame as a great de-
batter in the United States Senate will
never die. Joseph Benson Foraker; of that
tried and true public servant, the worthy
son of splendid sire, James r. Garfield;
and of that man whom We especially
honor here to-day, the greatest living
Ohioian, William Howard Taft president
of the United States. To be the success
sor of such men as these is distinction
so great that the day will never come in
my life when it will not remain green in
my memory.
Gentlemen of the convention, 1 thank
you!
Noteworthy as have been the Ohio Re-
have exceeded, if they have equaled in
far-reaching Importance, our meeting
here to-day. What shall result from the
deliberations of this convention will be
fraught with consequences of vast mo-
ment, not only to Ohio, but to the nation.

Fish Chowder

A delicious fish chowder may be
made of any of our fresh water fish.
Clean and boil them, removing the
bones and skin, then shed the fish and
add to the other ingredients prepared
as follows: Fry out piece of fat salt
pork (half pound, cut in dice), add
half dozen potatoes, sliced three
onions and sufficient water to cover,
cook until the vegetables are tender,
add quart of milk, half dozen large
crackers, butter and salt to taste.
Serve hot.
1t seems too bad that people living
inland should not enjoy the fish
chowders of the seashore; the fresh
fish may take the place of the salt
water fish and make a dish very little
inferior to the coast chowders.

Washing FIanneIs.

Do not leave wooden garments lying

Laundry Notes,

To preserve color in ginghams,
soak them in a pail of water to which
add a tablespoonful of kerosene an
hour before washing.
To bring back the pink into faded
dress, use dark red crepe paper in
the rinsing water and a little of the
color in the starch, using care to
strain the pulp of the paper out Of
the water. A dress will bear another
washing before it will need to be
dipped again.
