to view this new situation with some

they are buying shares themselves
in the hope that they may avert

many babies die of summer complaint

Many are unable to buy enough ice

hours. Most mothers. however, buy q
five or ten cent cake every morning
and by following the suggestion of DR..

small cost an excellent milk refriger-
ator that requires only very little ice:
obtain box from the grocer. Any
wooden box a foot in depth will an
swer the purpose. Buy tin pail with
a cover. one deep enough to hold a
quart bottle Of milk and slightly
larger pail without cover. Place one
inside the other and stand them in the
center of the box. Now pack sawdust
or excelsior beneath and all about
them to keep the heat from getting in.
Complete the refrigerator by mailing
about fifty layers Of newspaper to the
undersurface Of the box cover.
THE refrigerator is now ready for
use In the morning as soon as the
milk is received it should be placed in
the pail, and 5 cents worth of ice
should be cracked and placed about
the milk bottle. The cover should be
replaced on the can and the lid on the

SERVING or WATERMELON.
How to Use the Rind as q Bowl For
the Pink Fruit.

How to Use the Rind as . Bowl For
the Pink Fruit.
Though most true lovers Of the wa
termelon will insist that the only way
to enjoy the fruit thoroughly is to eat
it au naturel. as the pickaninnies do,
this is hardly a proper and betting
manner for the luncheon table.
The commonest method of serving
the melon is to cut 1t, not into the
crescent shaped pieces beloved by the
darky, but in pie shaped triangles. 1t
is pleasantest to serve these without
the rind, and for this purpose the fruit
should be carved in the following
manner: Slice of both round ends.
Cut the remaining portion in two.
Then cut the pink centers out of ell
ther of these sections and serve them
on platters of ample size. At the table
pieces may be cut into individual por-
tions.
A more novel method is to utilize the
effective green rind as a bowl for the
pink center. Cut the melon in half
lengthwiSe and trim it on the bottom,
that 1t may stand firmly on the plat
ter. 1t may be brought to the table in
this manner or scOoped out with a
large berry spoon. The platter should
be garnished with large green leaves
from vine or bush.
When one owns French potato ball
scoop the pulp may be shaped in little
round balls and served in sherbet
glasses with lemon or pineapple ice.
These balls are also decided addition
to fruit cocktails or fruit hash.
In serving melons one must always
remember to have them and the plat
ters from which they are to be served
thoroughly chilled. Some people are
of the opinion that salt brings out
the flavor, while others prefer sugar.
The same rule for chilling holds
good with muskmelons To serve
them with chopped ice in the followed
center is to detract from their taste,
as well as to bother the consumer.
They may be eaten with sugar, salt,
pepper, cinnamon or salad dressing,
according to preference

1t was thought better for the

to put the Democratic governor

it is this: The Democratic party

The Governor, the General AS

There is no crowd of sports so fickle
as baseball fans. If the home team
wins a dozen straight and then drops
a game it is rotten" If player has
a faultless record for a month and then
makes a break or happens to lose his
batting eye he is roasted to turn.
The Roman popuace in the days OF
Nero didn't have thing on the aver
age American baseball crowd in this
matter of fickleness. A case in point
is the Pittsburg team. winner Of pen
nants and world championships. Dur
ing it's recent slump the team was
abused beyond all belief by the Pitts
burg crowd. Then there is Hans
Wagner, the greatest ball player in the
country, insulted and reviled because
he failed to come up to past records
and comparing him with the poorest of
players. No wonder ball player must
be thick skinned in order to stand the
gaff.

before the completion Of the Pan

treaty with that country of 1894
is about to expire and that thu
President has submitted to thu
Senate the text of a new treaty
with Japan. Protests from Cal
ifornia against this treaty ar,

exclusion clause preventing the
importation Of Japanese coolies
or laborers is omitted from the
new treaty. The situation is ug.
ly, no matter what viewpoint
one may have. San Francisco,
the nerve-center of the Pacific
slope, is the most intensely un-

hemisphere, if not in the world.
Two years ago it came near dis
rupting our peaceful relations
with Japan by the exclusion of
Japanese children from the

more than thirty fiers manned

1t has appropriated one hundred
million francs for improvements
in military aviation. AS many
as seven types of aeroplanes are
used in the French equipment.
Besides, there are hundreds of
aeroplanes owned by private in

come for military operations, the
French army would be strength

these private fiying-machines.

Washington Letter.
Washington, Feb. "a

|
Washington, Feb. "a
| Less than a week of the ses
sion remains and Congress will
doubtless crowd as much legis'
lation as possible in the final Sat.
urday, and probably move the
hands of the clock backward in
order to secure a few minutes
more time. The President will
be busy on March 4, afixing his
signature to the delayed bills.
Congress is working frantically
in order to finish things before
twelve o'clock March 4. Men,
legislators, statesmen, making
laws for the greatest nation of
the world, fritter the early days
of the session most flivolously
and then do hurry -scurry work
in final feeting minutes. So it
has been, so it is, so it will be.
x Xxx
Whether there will be an extra
session called Immediately after
March the 4th depends entirely
upon the action Of Congress on
the reciprocity agreement which
the President has made with the
Canadian government. Much of
the time of Congress has already
been taken up listening to the
selfish plants Of isolated inter
ests-interests that have so long
been favored that they imagine
themselves the people and the
nation. They are active and
loud, and, like a scant brigade
marching around a hill, by their
activity and noise make an i'm
preston upon one-sided on
locker, of the whole army. They
have their representatives in
both houses of Congress, too,
though some of them will not
stay much longer. Bellwether
Aldrich is at a southern resort
having, as he says, the time of
his life, and Bellwether Hale of
Maine has just seven days more,
but he is playing his role of OBJ
structionist and will play it till
the curtain falls. There will be
no encores as far as he is con-
cerned. After he is out of the
Senate his inability to learn or
forget will hinder progress no
more.
