Kitchen Wisdom.

When baking cake one often has
the yolks of eggs left over. They
may be kept for several days if placed
carefully in a deep cup and just
enough water poured on to cover
them, then set in a cool place.
To make tomato soup strain quart
of tomatoes, bring the liquid to a
boil and thicken with a tablespoonful
of flour. Season with pepper and
salt, and butter the size of an egg. In
a separate vessel bring one pint of
milk to the boiling point, add to the
tomato and it is ready to serve. 1t is
delicious as oyster soup.
If, when making pie crust, one
will use sweet milk instead of water
the crust will bake a delicate brown.
Or if crust made in the old way with
water is brushed over with thick
buttermilk after it is ready for the
oven it will turn a delicate brown
and be more crisp.
Before putting kettle over the
fire rub the bottom and part way up
the sides with soap. Then the smoke
may be easily washed off. The writ
err learned this when using the old
brass kettle.
A quick way to make chocolate ic-
ing for cake is to put one-fourth
pound of chocolate candy in a pan
and add few drops of hot water or
milk, not more than tablespoonful
Cover and set over a steaming tea
kettle until the candy is melted, then
stir thoroughly and your icing is
ready.
To relieve a burn, put the affected
part in kerosene and hold there for
a while, when the pain will cease.
Then cover with coating of flour to
keep out the air.
TOMATO RELISH.-One peck Of
ripe tomatoes, chopped and drained;

Tigers 3, Jayhawkers 3.

Columbia, Mo-, Nov. 25.-Missou-
ri's ill-fated Tiger of 1911, wounded
near unto death, SCARED and MANNED,
emerged from its lair with mighty
roar to-day and fought the powerful
Jayhawk to standstill. The final
count was 8 to 3, the second tie game
the rival universities have played in
as many years. The erudite toe OF
Carl Delaney, left end Of the Kansas
eleven, sent his team into the lead
late in the third quarter, 8 to 0, and
the we'll trained toe of Captain Shuck
of Missouri enabled the Tigers to
make the twenty.first annual battle of
the gridiron a draw just four minutes
before the final whistle sounded this
afternoon.
The football teams that waged war
this afternoon for the glory of Kansas
and Missouri were as nearly evenly
matched as two rival elevens possibly
could be. The score tells the story
of the game. 1t was drop kick that
placed Kansas in front, and it was
drop kick that enabled Missouri to
fight its way back to even terms.
The field was muddy, making the
footing very insecure. The athletes
slipped and slid in the thawing,
mushy soil of the gridiron and neith-
er eleven could gain consistently from
scrimmage. The ends got down the
field with spectacular speed, but fire.
quently skidded in the marshy loan
just when ready to drag down the
man with the ball. Considering the
condition of the gridiron the playing
of the ends, both Missouri and Kan
sas, was one of the remarkable fea-
lures of the struggle.
The greatest piece of work in all
the game came shortly before the
end of the first period. 1t was the
marvellous defense Of the Tiger elev-
en- under the very shadow Of its goal
line. A forward pass, He'll to Brown
lee, the first of the game, worked
perfectly for a gain of twenty-one
yards, and Kansas had the ball just
two yards from the Missouri goal line
and three trials to take it over. Ev-
cry Tiger heart sank low, although

COwpeas Haymaking Notes.

Cowpeas are one of, if not the most
difficult, crops to cure, due to large
leaves and succulent stems.
The crop when made into hay
should be cut as the pods begin to
ripen.
Try to strike good weather as the
curing is slow, just as we'll have the
crop spoil out doors as in the barns,
which it will do if put in green.
They can not be cured in the swath
as the leaves dry off badly.
Sometimes in favorable weather
they may be cured in the windrow
and turned occasionally with a side
delivery rake, but as this extra ham
ding causes loss of leaves it is bet
ter to cure in tall, narrow shocks.
Where they are not too heavy the
mowers may be run until noon and
the hay raked and shocked in the
afternoon, however, where the peas
are heavy it may be necessary to let
them lay in the swath until the next
afternoon, stirring or teddering them
between time.
The longer they stay in the shock
the better, however, after they stand
two or three days it is better to haul
them in than risk the weather.
II rain falls on the vines before
they are in the shock they should not
be touched until the surface is dry
then thoroughly stirred; those in the
shock should be handled only enough
to allow a good airing.
II cowpeas are to be stacked out
tide they should be topped out with
hay or straw or some special cover

AN PETITION.
legislature Will Be Asked to Conserve
Human Life.

AukA81 AA1Cs
Jackson.-Petitions bearing the sigma
lures of more than $4,000 citizens will
be presented to the legislature at its ap-
preaching session urging that the several
measures endorsed by the Mississippi
Medical Association be given favorable
consideration and passage.
The petitions have been placed in
circulation by members of the medical
fraternity in every county, and are be-
ing numerously signed. Briefly stated,
the association asks that a bureau CT
vital statistics be created, a larger APP
preparation made for the campaign Of
education on sanitation and hygiene be-
ing waged by the state board Of health,
and that q higher educational STANDARD
be required of applicants for license TO
practice medicine in the state. The lat.
ter measure contemplates an amendment
that will require every applicant for
medical license to first take q standard
course of literary study in some reputa-
BILE college.
The caption Of the petition sets forth
that, according to government statistics,
forty-two per cent of the deaths that
annually occur in this country are
caused by p%reventable diseases, and the
most important question before the
American people today is the conservs
ton of human life.

TO DRILL FOR OIL.
Expert to Drill Wells at About Twelve
Points in the State.

Jacksonville Statewide Oil and Min
eral Company has perfected o~rganiza-
ton in this city with the avowed pur.
pose of drilling not less than twelve
wells in Mississippi with the hope Of
striking oil or gas.
1t is announced that the first well
will be drilled at or near jackson, and
operations will be commenced as soon as
machinery can be placed on the ground.
The company is chartered under the
laws of Arizona, the laws of that state
allowing broader latitude for enterprises
of this character, which are now re-
garded as a legitimate form of specula-
ton.
Hon. r. C. Lee, federal district at
torney, has been named as president
of the company, and Capt. John A.
Webb, chairman Of the railroad commits
sion, as secretary. Charles Hill is the
general manager, and w. II. Drummett,
the expert geologist, who will locate the
wells to be drilled. Both Of the last
named gentlemen have had several years
of experience in work of this character.

Carriers Thought to Believe Interstate
Commerce Commission Won't Stand
for Advance.

Meridian.-A tremendous victory has
been gained by the commercial bodies
of Mississippi and other states who en-
tered a protest against the action of the
railroads in their efforts to put into effect
November l, 1910, the advanced rates,
which have been suspended numerous
times, in the last instance to March /,
1919.
Secretary Moore, of the Meridian
Board of Trade, announced that accord
ing to information received by him, the
roads had abandoned the raise under the
belief that the interstate com
mission would not allow it, as the matter
il now before them.
The advanced rates affected both class
of commodies and were effective between
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Ohio, Western New York,
Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama,
and points in Mississippi and Louisiana.
The advance would have amounted to
five and ten per cent on nearly all
classes of commodities handled between
these states, with tremendous increased
revenue to the railroads.

Jackson.-A special train, to which
was attached three coaches, containing
about $50 sturdy farmers from the
Northwest, passed through Jackson Sat

Southern Mississippi, where they are to
inspect the ~cut-over lands which have
been extensively advertised in the North.
The farmers, while in the state, will be
given an opportunity of investing In

try from Holland, Germany, Sweden and
other countries. They are all interested
in the culture Of corn and wheat, and
have become interested in the lands Of
Mississippi through the medium of ex-
tensive advertising through the North.
Many of the farmers have already de.
cided to purchase farms in this state.
Some are already the owners of large
tracts. They are making the second trip
for the purpose of getting their farm
in condition to move their families.

Jackson.-As the end of the admins
tration approaches it is a matter OF con-
siderable interest to know just how
many pardons have been issued in the
four years drawing to a close.
A compilation made in the office of
the penitentiary board office about two
weeks ago gives the number of felonies
pardoned as being 800 to that date.
The misdemeanor record is also in
teresting, and there are 293 of them,
making a total therefore of $50 par
dons issued thus far and the admins
tration has until January 10th to run.
Also the ~offenses for which the mis-
demeanor pardons were issued are in
teresting, and curious to relate, the
greatest number were issued to whiskey
sellers, than any other one or two or
three offenses.
One hundred and ffty-one pardons
were issued to blind tigers" Assault

cost will be approximately $4,000.
Contractor Barnes stated that work
would be commenced as soon as the
building material can be placed on the
grounds.
The many applications for admission

approaching January session, for a do
nation to supplement the support fund
derived from voluntary sources.
