of mankind and sympathy with the frailties of men and women Every case that comes into the Domestic Re lations court these judges first try to adjust without legal procedure.
 In the next instance the Domestic Relations court is a woman's court In almost every cG-o that has ap- peared the complainant has been a woman It is not more than once in several months that man appears as a complainant in this court. This is. of course. largely owing to the fact that a man is not usually dependent upon his wife for support, and even if deserted by his wife a man is not likely to be exposed to hardship and suffering, as the cas-. with a woman.

FOR THOSE FOND OF SALSIFY
Old Recipe That Has Been Popular With European Housewives for
 Many Years.

Wash and scrape the salsify roots, cut of the extreme joints, stand them up and grate them. Beat three eggs light and stir them gradually into a pint of milk, with sufficient flour to make a stiff batter Instead of grat- ing the salsify you may cut it into pieces and boil it till quite soft. so that you can mash it easily. Add a little pepper and have ready over the fire deep frying pan or skillet with plenty of boiling lard. Put in large spoonful of the batter, and into the middle of each drop a spoonful of the mashed salsify. Fry these fritters to a light brown on both sides and take them out with a perforated skim mer. You may fry the mashed salsi- fly without the batter, taking large spoonfuls and dipping each in beaten egg first, and afterward twice over in grated bread crumbs, SO as to resem- ble fried oysters. Or you may first boil the roots and merely split them in two before frying them in fresh but ter, or baking them brown in the oven.

Gotham,s Domestic Relations Court

NEW YORK.-One yea1 ago the Do " mestic Relations court was estab- nshed in New York and it has already gained a place as one of the perma- nent and most necessary institutions of this city. The tremendous work of this court arouses wonder that the idea had not been adopted years ago and that it Is not more widely emu lated in other cities throughout the country. Chicago and Washington are the only two other cities where simi- lar courts exist

In its prime office, indeed, 1t partakes of the nature of conciliatory court. sim liar to the conciliatory courts of France, through which all domestic difficulties pass before any divorce or other serious case involving domestic infelicity. abandonment or non-support can enter the courts proper.

When we make up." she said. ''it will be useless ask George to sign a pledge to spank me no more. He wouldn't make any such promise. and wouldn't even apologize for any of the spankings of the past. He is not the kind of man who apologizes In fact, I've never heard him say that he was sorry for anything he ever did.

 The investigation, started by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the gov ernment chemistry bureau. had to be practically abandoned by the govern ment because of leak through which the officials of the company were warned that they were being watch ed. After this, 1t is alleged that no more shipments were made abroad and the government. being left with out jurisdiction, the case was turned over to the state authorities for prose cution under its laws.
 The case worked up by the govern ment was outlined generally in let ter from Acting Chief F. L. Dunlap. of the bureau of chemistry, which was submitted to the state board of health by Dr. Fitzrandolph. In this letter Dr. Dunlap said that on June 10. 1911. his bureau was advised that the firm exported pickled horse meat to Hol- land; that this meat was entered at Rotterdam and was distributed throughout Holland for food purposes.
