The dinners of occasions are always
begun with an appetizer of some kind,
and although 1t seems to be u custom
to belong to the last g years, 1t is
really an old one. 1t is said that the
physician OF Louis XIV, who was a
gourmand, ordered that he should
first be served with thin slices OF
toast spread with marrow, caviare and
| other pungent foods, for the purpose
of appeasing his appetite and con
serving his health. Thus came about
the Introduction of the canape. Can
apes are made from white, graham
and brown bread, sliced very thin
and cut in various shapes. They may
be toasted, buttered or fried and COW
cred with any number of mixtures.
Cucumber and csviars.-On q cir
cular piece Of buttered toast place q
slice of cucumber and In the center
OF the cucumber put a little caviare.
Anchovy canapes.-Cut bread IN
slices ~one-quarter of an inch thick,
cut in circles, dip in melted butter,
sprinkle with salt and cayenne;
spread with anchovy paste and
sprinkle with a few drops of lemon
Juice.
Nut and Olive canape.-Cut bread
In ~crescents. Fry In deep fat. Mix
| equal quantities of chopped nuts and
garnish with small diamonds of pimen-
toes.
Tongue canapes.-Toast triangles of
| bread, spread with butter. Cut slices
of cooked tongue In small pieces. Mix
with creamed butter; add two table
spoonfuls Of capers to a half cup of
tongue. Spread on the bread.
Sprinkle with salt, cayenne and gar
nish with water cress.
sardlne canapes.-Cut brown bread
In circles, spread with butter and heat
in the oven. Pound sardines to a
paste. Mix with an equal amount of
| chopped hard eggs. eason with lemon
juice and Worcestershire sauce
Spread on the bread and garnish with
one slice of cucumber and hard

EGG CROP
From West Virginia Are at

The rainfall has been so abnormal
ly heavy during the last few weeks
that the egg production has been
materially decreased. Reports from
various parts of the country indicate
that the atmospheric conditions have
had like effect upon the egg pro-
duction generally and that Clarks-
burg is not alone in its phenomena.
1t is a fact that the egg production
has fallen OF materially of late and
the rainy weather is to blame. ac-
cording to unofficial reports from
the West Virginia state experiment

Acres OF Flowers.
California has always been known
as the land of sunshine, fruit and
mowers. At the Ranama4Calitornia
international Exposition to be held
In 1915, at San Diego. the claim OF
the state to pre-emminence in these
lines VIII be demonstrated. The d.
rectors of the exposition have de
.terimned on a vast scale of floral
and horticultural decoration which
viii be a surprise and a delight to
the average visitor. It was found
that to secure the plants required
for this scheme would require
canvas of the entire country and
even then that it would hardly be
possible to secure the quantity
needed by the plans as formulated.
Director General d. C. Collier, was
not willing to abandon the plans
which had fascinated the board OF
directors and he thought out way
to meet the OlLuCu4Iys II "S%S ~
as much of Balboa Park, where the
exposition is to be held, as might
be needed-all of its d,4OO acres If
they should be required-for city
farm and nursery. wherein the expo
sition could propagate the plants it
would require. The city officials
adopted the idea enthusiastically
and thirty acres were at once pre-
pared for a nursery, and two com
mercfal nurseries were bought out
right as a starter Citizens donated
cuttings, and for weeks 100 men
were kept busy carrying these to the
park and setting them out. Gerani-
ums, roses and peoples have been
planted by the millions, and al
kinds of trees and ornamental
shrubs have been set out in large
numbers. The exposition is four
years away, but the floral display is
to be on grand scale and the
preparations were begun none too
soon to make it a success.

man has the wrong view of life. He
is going through the world like an

one he can. The judgment of the
court is that he be imprisoned for a
period of years ranging from one 10
ten, and that his sentence be deter
mined by his behavior
Attorney Roscoe f. Nelson, repre-
senting Winslow, made a plea for
leniency, saying the defendant OF
fered to repay Dr. Mueller much OF

Winslow was remanded to the
