HOW TO RRolL A STEAK.

The first requisite for the palatabil-
ity of beefsteak is the choice of the
steak itself. A good steak is the ex-
ception, not the rule. A steak should
be broiled over white hot Goals, by
placing the broiler close to the Goals
and turing frequently. The intense
heat sears the surface of the steak
and drives the juices back into it, in
stead of allowing them to escape and
dry up. The surface of the meat be-
comes Drowned, producing the delight

me cooking should cease while the
blood will still follow the knife. A
steak should never be sailed until aft

It is more novel to use just the lace
squares or ovals for the mats than to
combine with linen or other lace. The
hostess can use them over a color for
variety. Edges are sometimes fin
ished in a buttonholed Vandyke, or if
the machine net is used the strands
are turned in along the bar and but
tonholed over to make a straight
edge a quarter of an inch deep.

some sets by combining with a little
hand embroidery in satin stitch and
cut work.
Another good-looking set for one
who does not embroider is made by
combining small lace squares with
cluny or filet insertion. Thhese can be
finished with a narrow picot edge or
with an applied linen hem.

Ice Cream From Sour Milk

Some half dozen years ago there
was young, college educated Dane
living in Sioux City, Iowa, who had
mania for experimenting with sour
milk drinks. While in college he be-
came acquainted with the famous
theory Of Metchnikoff thai the pro-
longation of life depends largely on
the introduction into the system CT
plenty Of the bacilli found in sour
milk.
Pampered on sweets, however, the
young American has a prejudice
against the sweets which have
spoiled, and so hurries pell-mell
into a grave which might have been
barricaded behind a sour milk can,
This young, inventive Dane was not
slow in discovering another national
tendency. The American will partake
of things with a relish if he does not
know for sure what the are. So he
set about to doctor up his sour milk
drinks with fruit juices and fiavoring
extracts, working al the time to-
ward a beverage which should con-
tain the healthfpl bacteria without
,the-to. the American-unpalatable
flavor
1t was not long until tho little
workshop of the Dane was the Mecca
of men who knew a good thing when
they tasted it. Railroad and travel
ing men had a habit of looking for
ward TO spending Sunday in Sioux
City and dropping in to see the Dane
and incidentally to quaff some of his
pleasing beverages. They never as
ISOLATED their better health with
the drinks, but were content to tickle
their palates with various and sundry
colored and favored concoctions, the
like of which no man, not foreign
born had ever tasted.

EFFECTIVE LUNCH SETS.

The omission of a tablecloth for
breakfast and lunch is so general that
no housekeeper can have too many
plain doilies. This is a tip to the
girl who is wondering what she can
give a wealthy friend.
1t is possible with little effort TO
make complete luncheon set, center
piece, plate doilies and tumbler doilies
to match. The first should be twenty
eight or thirty inches in diameter,
the plate doilies nine inches and the
tumbler size five and a half inches.
Use a good round thread linen of
fine, firm grade, as some women do
not care for the coarse crash effects
for table use If possible, get hand
bleached quality. It costs more, but
wears much better.
Both cOlored and white embroidery
are in good style, but if elaborate
work is to be done the all-white set
is more satisfactory. as it stays in
style longer and washes better.
Do not attempt more elaborate de-
signs than you can do well. There is
nothing uglier than rough, coarse en-
broidery and simple chain stitch or
briar stitched set is prettier than
badly worked satin or eyelet stitch.
A novel effect in arranging rows OF
scallops is to form shallow pyramids,
pointing TO the center. This needs
careful measuring and some compu.
tation before any stamping is done.
Arrange the design for the three
sizes on paper, and trace or take an
impression from that. It takes less
time and is more accurate than to
draw on the design free hand.
A crocheted lunch set is always in
favor and lovely simple patterns can
be found. s
If you want this kind of set to
be appreciated work very firmly, as
the loose mats will not launder in the
stiff forms now in vogue for such
mats.

She had read an article about being
young with your children, and SO she
had let the youngsters invite in their
young friends, and she was playing
games with them. She was going into
them with all the enthusiasm she
could muster, because she wanted to
do the right thing by her children.
But she had to confess to herself,
that it was great bore and in the
bargain, exceedingly wearisome.
A practical neighbor leaned over
the fence and asked what she was do

Lots of women are, like this
anxious little mother, wearing them

gressive, They are terribly ambitious
to do the right thing, whether it is to
keep themselves in touch with the

they ought to be has got them OH the

That was the genesis Of lacto. the
new frozen dairy product which has
recently come upon the market, and
which is nothing more or less than
ice cream made from sour milk.
Doesn't sound a bit good, does It?
Well, that is what several score of
college professors, college students
and ordinary garden-variety of human
beings In and around Ames said a
few months ago. And so Professor
NJ. Mortensen, the young Dane of the
Sioux City experiments, now head of
the dairy department of Iowa State
Agricultural College, set about to
show them how little they really
knew about this particular subject.
He set his dairy students to making
lacto and he sent it about the campus
and even down to Ames for sampling.
Some he told, but others he left in
peaceful ignorance. All he asked was
that they take a taste and let him
know, honestly and truly, just what
they thought of the stuff. This was
the result: Out of 179 persons who
sampled lacto, 1913 pronounced it very
good, thirty-seven good, six fair and
eight poor Comparing it with COM
mon vanilla ice cream, III reported
that they preferred lacto, nine con-
sidered it equal to ice cream and fifty
nine preferred ice cream. Comparing
lacto to sherbet, 1913 preferred lacto,
thirty preferred sherbet and twenty
six considered lacto equal to sherbet.

sary it is to keep ones physical APP

they owe themselves to be dainty and

1t is all we'll intentioned. And they
are in the right in their efforts. But
they defeat the very ends they are
trying to accomplish by going about it
in such a frenzied fashion, or over

effort itself, but in the fact that they
have no standards of their own as to
what they ought to do, no inner voice

guided entirely by the voice of others.

start in to accomplish the possible.

seek will be theirs, and the current of

This Is the time Of the year when
the salad bowl is welcomed on almost
every table, and is felt to be an ap.
propriate addition to every meal. In
hot weather nothing can be more deli.
ciously cool and refreshing to the
palate than salad.
Its very appearance, if properly
served, is at once an invitation and a
delight and It is we'll that we are
realizing its value more than our
grandmothers did. A badly arranged
and badly dressed salad is an affront
to good taste, and certainly nothing s
better calculated to create discord in
the internal economy.
Salads should invariably be served
cold and made of absolutely fresh ma
terials. Never add the dressing at the
last minute, especially to green salads.
Okra Salad.

Nuremberg Salad.
One or two lettuces, according TO
size. One small cooked beet, three
inches of cucumber, six fillets of an
chovy, four olives, two or three picked

teaspoonful of chopped parsley and
some salad dressing.
Wash the lettuce very thoroughly,
dry it gently in a clean cloth, then
pull it in pieces with the fingers. Peel
the cucumber and beet, cut them and
the anchovies and the olives into
strips. Mix these with the lettuce.
Put all in a bowl, sprinkle over the
chopped parsley and, if liked
a very little chopped onion; or, what
is preferable, rub the inside of the
basin over with a piece of the onion
before putting in the salad. This i'm

Afterward Failed-Crime Enact
ed Near Kittitas.

Ellensburg, Wash.-In fit of jealous
rage, T. II. II. Gardner, travelling
preacher, beat his wife to death with
club, a mile east of Kittitas, Sunday,
and after attempting to drown himself
in an irrigation ditch, gave himself up.
In the county jail Gardner confessed,
saying that he feared she would have
been influenced by his enemies and be-
come unfaithful to him. He admits
that he had no reason to suspect his
wife of w-ong-doing, but says he re-
ceived occult messages to that effect.
Gardner, who is AZ years old, and
his wife of SO, has been a travelling
preacher for years, but for the last
eight years has been affiliated with no
sect, but preached religion of his own.

Atlantic City, N. IA condemnation
of the use of intoxicants by diplomatic
representatives of the United States in

of the closing session of the 123rd gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church. A resolution was passed by ac-
clamation calling on the secretary of
state to discourage the use of intoxi-
cants, both here and abroad. This ac-
ton was taken as a result of remarks
alleged to have been made by William
J. Bryan at a temperance meeting here
last night, in which he is reported to
have said that on his visit to South
American countries he had found that
apparently the chief business of the
diplomatic corps was absorbing
