Stuffed green peppers.-Cut of the top
of each peper and lay them aside to use
as covers. Scoop out the inside, in
cIuding the core and seeds. Mix Ham
burg steak with soft bread crumbs
using about two and a half cuptuls ol
the crumbs Cpressed DOWN to every cup
full of the meat. Add a very small
chopped onion and season the mixture
with a scant half teasponful each OF
pepper, thyme and sage. Use leVeI
teaspoonful of salt, and, If preferred
quarter of a teaspoonful of sweet mar
joram. Moisten the whole with stewed
tomato pulp after kneading the crumbs
meat. and seasoning together. Fill the
pepercups with the mixture. Spread sort
butter over each, and replace the tops
that were cut off. Set them into an oven
10 bake or steam them until partly
tender on top of the stove, and then
finish them in the oven. The steamlng
prevents the peppers from drying before
they brown. Perhaps the best way TO
cook these peppers is in one Of the
paper cooking bags which come expressly
for the cooking purpose. They save the
trubIe of transferring the peppers from
the steamer to the dripping pan, and
then there is no washing Of utensils
afterward. A pound of Hamburg steak
will call for nine large peppers. Half
of this amount will do for five peppers
if they are not filed quite full
Apple cups-Take ripe red apples, cut
a piece of from the stem end, remove
possible of the inside of the apple with
out breaking lnS Shln. OOOh nd4L d
cupfuI of sugar with one cupfuI Of water
and, while still hot, add few clean rose
geranium leaves which have been
thoroughly washed and the pieces of ap-
pie pulp. When the sirup is cold add
a cupful of peaches Canned one can be
used) sliced in small pieces and the
Juice OF one lemon. Have apples
and sirup very cold; then fill the
apple cups with the mixture and serve
as first course at luncheon. The above
is right proportion for five apples. If
you are serving ten you can easily double
the amount
ck-o'lanterns-Cu the tops from per-
feet oranges, remove the pulp carefully,
and with sharp knife make features to
resemble a jack-o'-lantern. Fill in the
features with white icing and set the
shells away in a cool place until
wanted. Strain the juice from the pulp
and for four oranges allow a little grated
rind, one cupful Of sugar, a pinch of salt
a quart of water and the stifiy beaten
whites of two eggs. Mix thoroughly
freeze, and at serving time pack firmly
in the jack-o'- lantern shells.
AS for centerpiece and decoration, there
is such a variety to choose from I am
leaving that for the hostess. The graham
bread for the sandwiches has hazelnuts
stirred in. The sweet cider is served
from a punch bowl in the parlor.

ARE WOMEN
GROWING BALD?

The rapidly growing demand for
hair goods indicates decidedly that
full heads of natural hair are becom-
ing scarcer every day" says Mae Mar
tyn, noted beauty specialist.
only about one woman in a hun
dred seems to understand that alkali,
as found in soaps and most shampoos,
is the deadliest enemy to the hair. II
practically eats the life out of the hair,
causing it to become brittle, split at
the ends, and fall out.
ITO keep the scalp clean, healthy
and free from dandruf. and the hair
soft, bright and growing, shampoo
once in two weeks with a teaspoonful
of canthrox dissolved in cup OF hot
water. The hair will dry quickly with
out streaking. and there is no sham
poo like this one for promoting hair
health and preventing baldness."-Los

Here they are!
The first twin babies entered in the
Borden Baby Contest.
Little Ethel and Helen Murphy, who
live with their mother at 1913 T street
northwest. take the world very seriously,
considering the fact that they have been
coming in contact with things human
but ten little months.
They have brought their dreams along
with them, however, and hold them fast
in their steadfast eyes.
1 have often watched a baby in a
brown study, and wondered what were
the thoughts that made the little face
SO grave, and 1 believe 1t would prove
a revelation to us could we live for an
hour in some bright young mind Of
very little child.
I have looked into hundreds of baby
eyes since the Borden Baby Contest be-
gan, and each pair reflected a different
me a distinctive story.
The eyes Of the little twin girls are 50
full of the dreams OF fairies, and the
wonder of the big world about them, that
the little maids are not even considering
that $50 in gold, nor the lovely brass bed,
nor any other of the prizes offered the
prettiest, cutest kiddies in Washington
and its vicinity.
Just at the time you see them they are
watching the camera man and his big
shrouded machine with amazement, but

II is a long cry from Halloween in the
country with wood fires and big rooms
to Halloween in a city fiat
We may live in a five-roomed apart
ment on the third floor back OF board
ing house, but We still cling desperately
to our traditions, and it's interesting to
see how we adapt these ancient rites to
our city homes.
Did YOU ever think what has super
seded the wood fire. with its nut cracking
and apple roasting facilities?
1t is the chatting dish. Nuts crack very
nicely on the chatting dish, and lovers
may be revealed by the same old Hal
loween methods. Apples may be roasted
on the chafing dish, too, or In the oven
of the gas stove, for that matter, just
as successfully as they ever were when
they were suspended by string in front
of an open fire.
Autumn leaves. pumpkins. ears of yell
low corn, sheaves of wheat. and any OF
the autumn flowers that can be afforded
are appropriate for Halloween decora-
tions, or anything that glows with au-
tumn yellows and reds.
Dark Places Required.
Mystery is the keynote of this festival
of spirits and witches, and there must De
some dark places reserved for certain
rites in the celebration familiar to all or
you-holding a candle in one hand and
eating an apple while you look in the
glass; writing the name Of your choice
with the left hand in the dark, and
dozen other supcrstitions which tradition
has brought down to us.
Guests of this festival, to make II go
off with success, must be old fools or
young fools, as the case may be, but
fools in the good old acceptance of the
word Bobbing for apples, popping nuts
diving in a pyramid of flowers, race
first for ring, and walking backward
down the cellar steps at midnight, are
all familiar enough to us not to be eX-
plained in detail. Except for the cellar
steps they can all be enjoyed in nat
party.
There are a few more Halloween games
Of ancient extraction which may be
adapted to cramped quarters.
1.-The Rite of the Twelve Candles.
Place twelve lighted candles in row.
They represent the twelve months in the
year and should be named accordingly.
The player stands a few feet away and
endeavors to blow out the lights. The
one which stays lighted longest is the
month in which he is to enjoy great hap
piness, perhaps marriage, II that Is what
he desires most.
2-The Test of the Three Bowls.
Three bowls are placed on a table. One
is empty, one contains milk. and one
water.
The player Is blindfolded and led to
the table. He then places his hand in
one of the bowls. II It is the empty bowl
he is chosen to remain single, il the
- L. Nov nd
II the bowl of water, the girl Of his
dreams.
3-The Rite of the Seven stones.
Seven stones or pebbles are placed in
q plate or tray. Six Of the stones are

WHEN ONE MUST
EAT IN THE KITCHEN

When one must combine kitchen and
dining-room it is almost necessary to
use a screen to hide the sink and stove.
A carpenter will make a four-fold
screen frame for you, and the cost will
be very small. Stain it, fill each panel
with dark green or red denim, or bur-
lap.
Get four fruit or game pictures, bind
the edges with sateen to match the
panels and tack across the top Of each
panel. OF course they must be made
to fit.
On the back, or kitchen side of the
screen, make large pockets of the ma
terial Of which the screen is covered,
and tack across the lower edge. These
are great convenience in holding kitchen
towels, dust cloths, &c.
Hooks may be screwed in one panel
top and bottom and eyes screwed into
the wall, and in this way the screen
may be fastened without danger OF be-
ing knocked over.

SELLING RED PEPPERS TO
BURY 1000 PERSONS

There Is a man selling red pep
pers to bury 1000 souls in Toxic
Japan, today. On one of the prin-
cipal streets he may be seen dol
ing out the peppers and taking his
few coppers. He is dressed in red
and is known as the Red Pepper
Man"
His name is Yohei and he is
over 65 years of age. Yohei once
was the proprietor of a flourish
ing business, but his establish
ment was wiped out six times by
fire, so he concluded that the
wrath of the gods was upon him
and they had ordained that he
should be miserable in punish
ment for sins in a previous life.
He determined to compensate his
Regeneration offenses by deeds
of charity. He resolved to attend
the burial ceremonies of a thous-
and poor people, contributing to
their burial expenses. To get the
money for this he is selling red
peppers. He has assisted at near
ly 100 funerals, SO only has 900
more to attend.

A Railroad Democrat" to Head
Interstate Commerce Committee

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The
fate of railway legislation has
been committed by the democrats
of the house of representatives to
one of their "safe and sane" The
new chairman of the interstate
commerce committee, according to
the caucus schedule, is William
Charles Adamson, of Carrollton,
Ga.
Judge Adamson is railroad
democrat. By this is should be
understood that he has the "judi-
cial mind" He was judge of the
city court of Carrollton from 1885
to 1889, and has been a member
of the interstate commerce COM
mittee long enough to create a
record showing that he does not
favor legislation giving power to
the federal government to super
wise the issue of securities or to
have a physical valuation of rail-
way properties.
Under the reorganization of the
committees, chairmen will not
have as much power as formerly,
and 1t is quite possible that there
may be enough genuine democrats
in this committee to force out any
which is desired even
against the opposition of Chair
man Adamson.
Mr.. Adamson was born at Bow
den, Ca, Aug. 10, 1854,
