the sun was fast disappearing, large
crowd OF friends was seen vending
their way TO Allison Sipes, it being

ter Ethel and two friends had planned

That anything out Of the ordinary was
going on. They just kept her going
out TO pick berries each day from the
middle OF the week before, so that she
did not think it strange when asked to
take trip to neighbours fields for
black-berries. They even had the fam
lly invited out for dinner on Sunday
SO as TO keep her in the dark until the
right hour arrived. On the way home
she kept wondering where all the peo-
pie were going, never dreaming until
near the house and seeing an auto
before the door and so many teams
around the barn, that they were stop
ping there. On gong around the
house, she saw friends everywhere.
There were 10 strangers present. They
were served with pies, ice-cream, cake,
candy, lemonade, ETC., and entertain
ed by music on the organ, playing
games and pleasant conversation. At
late hour they began to depart for
their homes, wishing Mrs. Sipes many
more birthdays as pleasant as this
one. Mrs. Sipes received many useful
and valuable presents; also, a large
number of beautiful cards,

OLD WAR FLAGS WILL Be CARED FOR
Placing the New Cases in the Capitol
ROtnnda.

The many old, tattered and
torn, bullet and shell-rlddled
battled flags that were carried by
the Pennsylvania military organ.
zations during the Civil war are
at last to have a permanent rest
ing place that will be so con-
structed as to preserve them
from falling to pieces and at the
same time afford a close view of
them to all who are interested.
The flags at present are kept IN
glass cases IN the flag room of the
State Museum building, but, de.
spite every precautlon, these
cases cannot be made air tight
and the silk IN the standards is
slowly rottlng and causing par.
ticles of the flags to drop off. To
obviate this and to more carefully
preserve the old flags the State
has ordered a umber of glass
and bronze standard holders,
perfectly air tight, which will
adorn the main rotunda of the
Capitol and place the flags IN full
view at all times.
This new arrangement has
long been contemplated. For
years the flags were placed un.
protected in the Adjutant Gener.
ais department IN the old Capitol
until the present flag room was
devised to hold them, and the
fact that they were left exposed
was the subject of much unfavor.
able comment But even the
present arrangement has been
failure because of the fact that
tfe flags are so placed in the
cases that 1t Is almost impossible
to see them to an advantage. |
The new arrangement of placing
the cases IN the new Capitol 70.
tunda was a suggestion of Gov.
ernor Stuart and has been carried |
out by Samuel B. Rambo, Super.
OF Public Grounds and
Buildings, the latter directing
the work.
There are other standards in
the present flag room not carried
during the Civil War, but possess
ed of much historic interest, and
they will be provided for so as to
preserve them.
1t is proposed to photograph
the old flags when they are moved
TO the new cases, the negatives
If photographs taken years ago
having been destroyed IN a fire.

New bread may be cut quite

Never put salt into soup when
cooking until 1t is skinned, as
salt prevents the scum from

When baking cake or bread if
the oven gets too hot, the TEN
perature may be reduced by
placing pau Of cold water in
the oven.
Before cooking canned goods
place in a colander and drain of
all juice and rinse with cold wa.
ter. The seasoning must be sup
piled with good fresh butter,
milk, salt and pepper. Leave
no canned goods in a can that has
been opened. Remove at once.
This may rob the vegetables of
some food value, but it is safest
and best to do so.
Oranges ard lemons will keep

When eggs are broken and can

salt be beaten into the egg. They
later can be used for cakes or

square meal. In most cases he left
the houses richer not alone by food

they can draw from their religion.
In the midst of this period of
mourning there recently appeared at
one house a rather good looking

sad brown eyes. Like all other COM

Plenty of stewed fruit and baked ap-
pies they should eat, but they must
Invariably be cooked the day before
and dished up cold. The nursery po-
