turns pasty for me- meyer ngnt ana Iuny
Mrs. A. w. c.
Here Is the Creole recipe for boiling
rice. which is over 100 years old. and
| which, II carefully followed, Is always
| successful:
Wash the rice in three waters, rubbing
1t dry with clean cloth after the last
washing. Have ready a deep sauce
pan of boiling water. Sprinkle the
rice into it. The water should be deep
enough TO allow the grains to play
about freely. Do not cover. After
boiling IL about twenty minutes. test
several grains to see that all are tender
at the heart. II not boil two or TIN ee
minutes longer. about twenty-five min
utes In all, Remove from the fire and
throw into a colander. When drained
| thoroughly dry, put the rice into a
saucepan and add large lump Of but
ter. say a tablespoonful to each cup Of
dry rice, and plenty OF salt. stand this
on the back Of the range, where IT will
get. as much heat as possible without
SSoANi"e. AO hOt CONCt dIu W hOb
stir. Every now and again turn It
lightly from the bottom with fork.
and scatter any Jumps that may form.
/ In about forty minutes the rice will be
dried So that every grain will stand by
itself. but should II be too soft, it will
take much longer to dry. Should II look
.pasty, hold II under the cold water
faucet and let the cold water dash
through II. then shake dry, put into the
saucepan with the butter, and finish as
above. The recipe is one that has been
in daily and successful use in Creole
homes for many years. Visitors to the
South carry away with them memories
Of rice cooked so that every grain is
separated and covered with butter,
something quite different from the
pasty. soggy messes called boiled rice
that are served at Northern tables.

Will you please tell me what will remove
tar from white goods; also what will remove
machine grease from same? Very truly
MOTHER.
To remove tar from goods first rub
pure unsaIted lard over the spots, then
wash in the regular way, with soap
and water. Apply oil of turpentine, and
allow it to remain an hour, then wash
again, and the spots will be entirely
removed. This same recipe will remove
machine grease.

When going to be teacher, do you have
to teach the kindergarten first?

....-,, - VIRGINIA.
The two courses are entirely separate.
Those who have passed a regular
teachers course commence teaching in
the first grade; those who have taken
a special kindergarten course, remain
kindergarten teachers. There Is no fee
either in the high or normal schools
for residents of the District There is,
believe, small fee for students resi-
ding outside OF the District OF Colum-
bia.
Miss Helen Taft Is the only daughter
OF the President Of the United States.
She is said to be studious girl, a grad
uate OF Bryn Mawr College, and de-
voted to outdoor sports, especially ten
mis-, horseback riding and golf. She
made her entrance into society early

Was Surely the Cause Of
Broker JacksOn's Death.
Young GeidekAdmlis that Ne Was
Means OF lis Falling.
But Counsel Insists Broker Died
Through His Own Fault.

New York, Aug. 29.-In the fight to
save Paul Geidei from the electric
chair the defence today introduced
testimony tending to show that Will
liam IL jackson died of heart failure
and not as a result of chloroform ap-
piled by the 17-year- old bell boy.
Geidefs counsel is attempting to prove
that the boy Went to the brokers room
ON invitation and that the aged man
died of apoplexy or heart failure dur
ing a struggle which he himself mi
tiated.
DR. Max Z. Talney qualified as an
expert witness for the defence and in
answer to a hypothetical question, de-
ciared that ne believed the cause of
death was heart failure due to degen-
Grafton of the heart" Other testimony
was introduced to show that Jacksons
complexion had blush tinge' such
as might exist in the case of a person
physically disposed toward apoplexy.
DR.. Talmey, on rigid crosse xamina-
ton, however admitted that some OF
the conditions of Jackson's body point
ed to strangulation, but that the pre-
ponderance pointed to myo-carditis.
Coroaer's Physician Timonthy Le-
hane admitted finding a diseased state
of the kidneys and of the principal
nGurishing capillaries of the heart, but
gave as his opinion that neither OF
these conditions necessarily caused a
weakening OF the heart.
DR.. Melton Albert Mobiles of Phila-
delphia, put on the stand by the de-
fence as another medical expert, said
that Mr. Jackson died of hemorrhage
caused by a diseased condition of the
arteries near the heart. The session
closed with Dr. Mobiles testifyins. He
will be further questioned tomorrow.
