EXPERT TELLS ABOUT SALADS
Some of the Fine Points That Must
Be Observed to Insure Per-
lection

Expert advice on the making OF
salads was given by Hermann Sem,
described as master of his sub
ject," at the Horticultural hall, Lon
don. England
According to this authority all salad
plants must be thoroughly washed but
not soaked. Then they must be
drained and torn, not cut into shreds,
Above all, he urged, never cut up the
materials with a steel knife. When
the shredding is accomplished put the
whole into a salad basket, or into a
cloth and swing thoroughly to remove
the superfiuous moisture. Dressing
should be done as near as possible to
the time when the salad is required
for the table.
Mr. Sem added: "A good way to
flavor with garlic is to place piece
of toasted bread in the salad bowl,
cut a piece OF garlic and rub the toast
with it. That is all You then place
the salad on top OF the bread, and it
acquires just the delicate soupcon OF
garlic which is desired"

MAY HEAD CHINESE REPUBLIC

DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the Chinese re-
former, who was banished from the
empire not long ago and is now in
The United States, is believed to be
slated for the presidency of the re-
publican government when the Chi
nese revolutionists can take time
enough from fighting to organize
There is said to be standing offer
from the Pekin government of $4,000
for the body of Sun Vat Sen, dead or
alive.
Each succeeding day has added to
the gravity of the situation in China
The imperial government, having dis
covered that the usual methods used
in uprisings throughout the empire are
entirely inadequate in this case, has
gotten down to the business of real
warfare. But the misjudgment of the
situation, and the consequent delay
in real repressive measures, have CIV

that useful variety known as semi

signed for general wear. They
are of substantial materials we'll put

1t goes without saying, almost, that
every woman should walk in the open
air for a time, every day of her life.
Most of them do, going about the bust

getting out to other lines of endeavor.
Very plain hats will answer for wear
in the morning, but every woman
needs tailored hat for church-and
other occasions demanding the proper
attention TO her personal appearance.
Women going to and from business
choose the palmer types of tailored
millinery, or rather those made of the
most durable millinery materials, such
as beavers, felts and cloth covered
shapes, with trimming of silk velvet
or fancy feathers.

Clarence S. Funk, general manager
of the International Harvester Com

leading citizens, was recently sued by
John Hennng, who asks $4,000 dam

alienated the affections OF his wife,
Josephine Henning. TO say that the
suit created sensation is to put it
mildly. Funk has recently been be-

moral uplift movements, which well

and his talk of furthering such causes
has made him more or less well

cANADA'S ROYAL GOVERNOR

The Dominion of Canada deeply ap-
preciates the honor which has been
conferred on her by the appointment
OF the Duke of Connaught as governor
general and will give his royal high
ness most enthusiastic welcome on
his arrival The distinction which is
Canada's in having, as a representa-
tive of the British throne, an uncle of
King George will be more readily I'M
derstood when it is stated that never
before has prince of the royal blood
been sent as governor general to any
of the British possessions over the
seas. The nearest approach to such
distinction was when the Princess
Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria,
resided in Canada with her husband,
the Marquis of lorne, who was then
governor general. The marquis aft

of Argyle.

The proposed reconciliation Of Benjamin

Despite the glowing tribute paid by the
husband last week to his wife's character
and ability to manage his property and
business when he acknowledged their do

at $35, and requiring the husband to pay

FULL SALARY FOR KNOX.
Secretary of State Will Receive SIC,
600 After March 4.

Beginning with the new fiscal year,
Secretary Knox will receive the full SAL
airy of $4,000 per annum paid to his
brother cabinet officers. The Secretary has
been estopped from receiving more than
5000 per annum by reason Of the fact
that the compensation of cabinet officers
was increased by Congress to $4,000 per
annum during the term for which he was
elected to the United States Sersate.
1t Is true that the Secretary had aban-
doned his senatorial Office in March. 1869,
but it was held that as his senatorial
term to which he had been elected would
not terminate until March 4. 1911, he
could not profit by the increase Of $4,000
in the cabinet salary. This period OF ex-
clusion will expire March and the leg
isiative appropriation bill which has just
passed the House makes provision for the
full salary of $4,000 for the Secretary of
