The trouble which resulted in Cap

San Francisco Captain Smith was
placed under arrest.

He was reappointed chief of police

DANGER IN THE CUP
Efforts to Abolish the Common
Drinking Vessel.
Illinois Follows Kansas in Legislation
Effectlng Use of the Public Cup
A Safety Drinking
Fountain.

Springfield, Ill.--Illinois has fol.
lowed Kansas In legislation to effect
the abolition of the common drinking
cup. Death turks In 1t. tuberculosis.
diphtheria and other deadly diseases
are distributed by it.
There is no question whatever
about these facts, which may be said
briefly to summarize the results of a
special investigation recently made
by the board OF health of the state Of
Kansas
Kansas led the way in movement
to do away with the common drinking
glass. Such receptacles, which carry
all sorts Of infection from mouth to
mouth, are not to be in future allowed
In railroad trains, railroad stations
and other public places In that state.
Their use In the public schools ia no
longer to be permitted. And now Illi-
nois has followed with similar regula-
tons. 1t Is expected that before long
this movement will become nation
wide.
One might say that the problem Is
satisfactorily solved by the paper cups
for individual use which are sold by
slot machines in many public places
nowadays. All one has to do is to
drop cent into the slot, and out pops
beautifully-made tumbler Of paraf-
fine paper, we'll put together and stiff
enough to hold liquid for drinking.
But when one comes to think about It,
one perceives that such cups as these
are of small practical use for every
day folk; they are luxury for the
rich. Only the well-to-do can afford
to pay penny for a drink of water.
The problem of the drinking cup In
Its relation to health Is much more DIFF
Hcult and much more important than
most people imagine. Recent investi-
cations of the subject by the Kansas

COLOR FOR fRosTINGs
DIFFERENT METHODS BY WHICH
THEY ARE TINTED.
Diluted Saffron for yellow Icing, Choc.
olate for Dark Brown, Carmine
Powder for Red and Spinach
Curd for the Green.

Here are some different ways OF col.
oring frostings White icing is made
with white of egg beaten stiff and
mixed with powdered sugar. If you
add tablespoon OF lemon juice it will
be a purer white.
For yellow icing take a few drops
Of diluted saffron and add to the white
frosting. Chocolate is the best for
dark brown frosting. Cinnamon FROST
Ing is made by adding a teaspoon Of
cinnamon to white of one egg. This is
rather pretty frosting.
For red frosting take little car
mine powder, dilute with few drops
of lemon juice and add to your frost.
Ing Carmine powder Is also to be
bought at the druggists. but is rather
expensive. You can also get pretty
pink by using few drops of berry or
currant Juice.
Green frosting Ia made by adding
spinach curd to the white frosting.
To curdle spinach bruise few leaves
thoroughly. squeeze the juice into
clean saucepan and boil till 1t curdles,
then add few drops of water, strain
through napkin and with that which
remains In the napkin color your frost
Ing green. OF course, you can get
green color by making little indigo
with saffron, but It is not healthy.
Blue is colored with violets, which,
by the way, makes handsome jelly or
cornstarch pudding. You take hand
full of violets, soak them over night
In little water. then stir thoroughly
and strain.
You can make any Of these In wa
ter icings II you wish by mixing sugar
with the juices and beating good. But.
Of course. the egg Is always an add.
zion.
Some people make caramel by melt
Ing the sugar without any water, but
the water makes 1t much easier. be-
cause 1t is not likely to burn.
