SERVING OF WATERMEL0 ON.
How to Use the Rind as a 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
1t au naturel, as the pickaninnies do,
this is hardly proper and BETTING
manner for the luncheon table
The commonest method of serving
the melon is to cut it, not into the
crescent shaped pieces beloved by the
darky, but in pie shaped triangles. 1t
is pieasantest to serve these without
the rind, and for this purpose the fruit
should be carved in the following
manner: Slice off both round ends.
Cut the remaining portion in two.
Then cut the pink centers out of Ell
Their of these sections and serve them
on platters of ample size. At the table
pieces may be cut into individual por-
lions.
A more novel method is to utilize the
effective green rind as bowl for the
pink center. Cut the melon In half
lengthwise and trim it on the bottom,
that it may stand firmly on the plat
ter 1t may be brought to the table in
this manner or Scooped out with q
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 a decided addition
to fruit cocktails or fruit hash.
In serving melons one must always
remember 10 have them and the plat
tiers 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 lee in the followed
center is 10 detract from their taste,
as well as to bother the consumer
They may be eaten with sugar, salt
pepper, cinnamon or salad dressing,
according 10 preference.

oYMNAsIUM IN PUBLIC PLAYGROUND.
parks and Fairgrounds into an i'm
portant department of the city admin
istration.
The present function of the special
park commission. composed of nine
aldermen and twelve private citizens,
all appointed by the mayor. embraces
the establishment. improvement and
maintenance of about sixty small
parks. squares and triangles. comfort
stations, wading pools, fifteen play
grounds, two bathing beaches and the
office Of the city forester who has
sole charge of the care. maintenance.
planting and trimming Of trees in the
streets or parkways of Chicago. in
Guiding the removal of dead and un-
slightly trees and the general beauti-
flying of the streets.
The varied ownership of these mu-
nicipal playground sites and the com
missions method of acquiring play
grounds suggest several ways in which
other municipalities can initiate or ex-
tend their playground system.
The first method adopted by the com
mission nearly ten years ago was to
ascertain the pieces of property owned
by the city and either unused or else
available for playground purposes and
arrange with the administration for
such use by disseminating some other
municipal use to which the land was
being put The latter arrangement
was made by moving the department
which happened 10 be using the land
or by removing certain unsightly and
Improbable residence buildings which
;ne city happened to come into posses
sion OF This method formed the nu-
cleas of Chicagos present municipal
system.
The second method-that OF obtain
ing the lease of land suitable for play
ground purposes-has been found TO
be economical and comparatively easy
TO put in operation. In most cases
where the city obtained lease of
playground sites the commission was
assisted by aldermen of the wards in
which the sites We're located. They
found the owner who was disposed to
make lease of his property on condi-
! ton that he would be relieved from
/ payment OF taxes or special assess
ments during the term of the lease
and the proposition was submitted to
| the council for ratification. This ar
| rangement Is advantageous to the prop
prtv owner from n monetary point OF
view and affords the city an oppor-
tunity to get playground established
without mourning a heavy initial ex-
pense in the purchase price of the leas'
ed land.
The next method-that of obtaining
soliciting or accepting gifts of land
from clubs. private citizens and I'M
provement associations-is always 10
be recommended. 1t costs the city
nothing for the land. and the expense
| of improvement. equipment and main.

How to Clean Vanished Wall Paper

Vanished wall paper should never
be cleaned by rubbing with flannel
or cloth. Procure good soft white
wash brush, which can be bought at
any oil store then have a bucket OF
clean soft warm water in which vel
low soap has been lathered Dip your
brush into the water, slightly squeeze
it and commence rubbing gently from
the bottom of the paper, working up
ward. You will thus have your paper
free from smears and the varnish I'M
injured.

How to Keep oiIeloth Clean.

Those who use oilcloth as a covering
for floors often find il hard TO keep it
in good condition. 1t should never be
scrubbed with hard brushes or washed
with strong soap or soda. Oilcloth
should be cleaned by being washed
with soft cloth and tepid water. and
should II he very dirty a little ammo
mia should he dissolved in the water
When it is dry rub the oilcloth well
with beeswaN that has been softened
with turpentiue. Four ounces of bees
wax melted and thoroughly mixed
with eight ounces of spirits of turpen-
tine gives nice polish. Now and
then rub the oilcloth with boiled lin
seed oil TO feed" it and keep ii in
good condition. MIX also is good
for il.

fetal recorder Of the choice of the peo-
pie for President at the previous No.
vcmber election. 1t is impossible to
see in this the tearing down Of the
Constitution and the inroads upon our
Government as it is established that
some of the Senators have claimed.
The chief objection that we sec to it
is that, as in the cases Of Illinois and
Wisconsin, where primary laws prevail
and no majority candidate is selected,
the choice is really put up to the Leg
islature az though no action had been
had by the people. The surest, safest
way, it seems to us would be for the
States to provide that, an their nom
mating methods, they should nominate
a candidate. whether by convention or
otherwise, to be supported by the party
at the next general election, this can.
eft of his party at the leg
islative election; and then, which
ever party elects the majority OF
the Legislature shall, through that Leg
isIature, confirm the popular choice
made by the nomination, The legislative
deadlocks have become national scan
dal. and some method Of avoiding them
is loudly called for by the people. But,
inasmuch as any State can for itself
provide it's own methods whereby the
people may select the Senatorial can
didate of their party and then elect him
through the Legislature without frlc-
tion or trouble, it seems to us that the
Importance of the Constitutional
amendment on this subject is magnified
beyond all reason, both by those who
favor and those who oppose it. it is
pretty safe rule In public in affairs
of this kind to leave the remedies to
be provided where they are to be ap.
piled, especially when the remedies may
be made ample to meet the case; and,
inasmuch rs any State can, whenever
ii chooses, provide for the popular cleo
tion of Senators, and as a good many
of the States have so provided in diff
ferent ways, the refusal of the United
States Senate to agree to this amend
ment is by no means OF frst-class i'm
portancc. The important thing is that
each State, seeing the evil within it.
self, shall take action to remedy that
evil an it's own effective way.

THE PURE FOOD EXHIBIT.

The State purc food exhibit opens in
the Auditorium on Richards street to-
morrow 1t will be the greatest boost
for Utah manufacturers of foods and
products that has ever been seen here
The industrial workers who planned for
it. aim TO place before the community
a convincing exhibit Of the advantage
o. buying and using Utah-made goods;
and the sentiment at this exhibit will
be that Utah makes pretty much every
thing that is necessary in the scheme
Of life, and that it is to the advantage
of the community and everyone In it
TO support home industries, 80 that the
greatest possible number of people can
be employed and money be earned as
an assurance TO the advantage of IN
dustry and trade, The idea is to EN-
ploy more people. pay more money to
industrial workers, and at the same
time to give to the community the best
Of products at reasonable rates.
Those in charge of this exhibit have
their eye on the manufacturers as well
as on the consumers. They say to the
manufacturers, first of all, "Make
good, pure fabrics Of all kinds; see that
everything is sanitary, pure and whole
some, and that the price is made such
as the consumer can afford TO pay"
This desirable condition being estab-
lisbed the promoters of this exhibit
may say to the consumers. Here is
what you want; it is pure, wholesome; );
it meets every need that you may have
in the necessities of life. You need 90
no further, for here you can be assured
Of the best, and at prices that are sat
isfactory us anv you can find any
whore.
These two conditions are exactly
what should be fostered with the best
results both for the producer and the
consumer. And the producer and con
sumner meet in this exhibit on friendly
terms, come to a better understanding
with each other, and so trade IS sup
ported, the community interests en-
hanced, and everyone concerned Is bene'
fitted according TO his needs.
