COLONEL SAYS: "PuRE FAKE"

New York, May 31.-Ex President
Roosevelt said, today, that the re-
ports that he intended to go to the
Chicago convention are untrue. His
attention was called to a statement
made in Chicago by Harry 5. New.
chairman of the sub committee in
charge of the National Republican con-
yention arrangements, that the colonel
had engaged rooms at a Chicago ho-
tel for use during the convention.
Pure fake, said Col. Roosevelt.
"of course. i may alter my plans. but
at present / have no intention of going

BOSTON IS DRY.
Her Weather Man Fails to See That
We Have Had Wet Spring.

Boston, MAY 31.-Statisties compli-
ed at the local weather bureau, today,
failed to substantiate the impression
that the present spring has been un-
usually wet.
Even the rain in this city of, yester-
day and today. failed to reduce ma
terially deficiency of two and a half
inches from the normal which existed
on May l.
Yet so well have the showers been
distributed that the hay crop in east
ern New England is expected to be
one of the heaviest in many years.
Including today, rain fell in this city
this month on 13 days and the total
is likely to be near four inches, a
trifie above the normal for May.

The high fuel bill this month
is caused by the bad condition
the old machinery has gotten
into and the extremely high
price of oil. The new machinery
has started to arrive and we
have made some repairs on the
large engine that materially i'm
prove its efficiency and we have
every reason to believe that we
will use very much less oil in
November and be able to show
no loss.
The work on the new founda-
tons is practically complete and
will be ready by the time the
machinery arrives.

SOME HOT BREAKFAST DISHES.

For cold frosty morning hot
cake is most acceptable. Waffles are
cakes that are more wholesome than
the ordinary griddle cakes as they
are cooked crisp and brown.
Waffies.-Mix and sift one and a
fourth cups of -four with fourth of
teaspoonful of salt and half tea
spoonful of soda. Separate the whites
and yolks of two eggs, beat we'll and
add one cupful of thick sour milk to
the yolks; stir in the dry ingredients
and add three tablespoonfuls of melted
butter. Cut and fold in the whites of
the eggs and bake on a well-greased
waffle iron.
Oatmeal Muffins.-Mix and sift to-
gether one and one-half cupfuls of
-four, four teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der, one-half teaspoonful of salt, two
teaspoonfuls of sugar Cut In one
fourth of cup of butter, add half
of cup of milk gradually, one beaten
egg and two tablespoonfuls of melted
butter, with cup of cooked oatmeal.

tered pan.

TO KEEP THE SKIN CLEAR

For more than generation, Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment have
done more for pimples, blackheads
and other unsightly conditions Of the
complexion, red, rough, chapped
hands, dandruff, itching, scaly scalps,
and dry, thin and falling hair than any
other method. They do even more for
skin-tortured and disfgured infants
and children. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers throughout the world, a
liberal sample of each, with 32-page
book on the care Of the skin and hair
will be sent post-free, on application
to "Cuticura," Dept. l.. Boston.

cAREFuLNEss IN LITTLE THINGS.

Most people are sufficiently watchful
Of the la. se leaks in household man.
sSement. but the little leaks are those
that often sink the great ship. 1t is
necessary that certain amount OF
care and thought should be directed
toward even the simple processes of
housekeeping, to make the machinery
run smoother. If we are visitors in
home we do not care to hear the
wheels go round, the most perfect
running machinery, especially in the
home, Is the noiseless kind. The ta-
king proper care of supplies after pur-
chasing is hardly secondary in impor-
tance to intelligent buying.
Perishable food should never be
bought in large quantities beyond the
leeds of the family.
Food left in paper bags that come
from the markets are more apt to be
favored by the chemicals present in
the paper. This is especially true Of
foods containing moisture.
Cereals of all kinds should be kept
in glass jars, tightly covered. in a cool
place.
Flour is highly absorbent and should
be kept in a dry cool place.
Butter and milk should never stand
uncovered.
Coffee should be bought in small
quantities and ground as needed.
Eggs are porous, and for this reason
should never be placed near food OF
strong flavor.
Soap should be unwrapped and piled
in an open place to dry.
Fruit should be spread out to pre-
vent decay, and all portions Of decay
ed fruit should be at once removed.
Oiled papers that come in cracker
boxes and other foods for wrapping
should be carefully saved. They are
useful for many things, wrapping
sandwiches, eggs and are especially
good after the second use, for clean
ing fiat irons while ironing.
One of the old-fashioned wire coffee
stands make the best kind of a trivet
for use in boiling puddings In cloth
1t is sufficiently high to hold the pud
ding well up from the bottom of the
| kettle.
When making ginger cookies, try {
cup of coffee left from breakfast fol
the liquid instead of milk. The flavol
is excellent with ginger.

OIL serving and garnishing 1t will
awaken a sluggish appetite.
When serving baked or fried fish,
and wish to add sauce to further the
food value and make 1t more attrac-
tive, try:
Green Sauce for FIsh.--Make good
rich white sauce, using much rich
milk, or, better, cream in the making.
Melt two tablespoonfuls Of butter, add
an equal amount Of flour and when
thoroughly cooked add cup Of rich
milk or thin cream. Cook until
smooth, add yolk Of egg, beaten, and
two tablespoonfuls of cooked spinach
put through sieve. Season we'll with
white pepper and salt and fold in a
quarter Of cup of thick whipped
cream just before serving.
Baked Corn With Minced Meat
Into two large cups of corn put cup
full of minced chicken or ham, one
half cup of thin cream; season with
salt, pepper and onion juice, add one
egg beaten. Mix and put into ba-
king dish, cover with crumbs and
pdhS. boI Will DAlS Vi UulIct anu

Combination Salad.-For this salad
there is wide range, as one may use
almost any vegetable or fruit. Toe
many kinds Of either fruits or vege
tables are not good to serve, or toe
many colors. A few string beans that
have been marinated in little
French dressing and added to potato
salad, makes good combination.
ANY little left-overs like corn or bits
Of green peppers are also an addition
to a plain potato salad. One should
not forget to add little shredded
/, onion for flavor to almost every ,ege
table salad.
A few cut-up dates or hgs or raisini
added to an apple salad, or in fac
almost any fruit salad.
The pineapple is delicious to thu
taste, a remedy for indigestion and al
all-'round good fruit tonic. In combi
nation with grape fruit 1t makes ,
most delectable salad with French
| dressing.

SOME COMPANY SALADS.

When serving luncheon or dinner to
few friends, one likes to have
salad that is little unusual for the
occasion We're are few to choose
from:
Goldsmith Salad.-Take half cup
Of apples minced fine, one-fourth Of
cup of minced celery, fourth Of a
cup of chopped hickory nut meats. a
fourth of cup of chopped green pep
per and olives mixed. Serve in green
pepper cups and garnish with mayon-
naise dressing.
Apple, nuts and celery served in
head lettuce is simpler salad and one
/ that is generally liked. Mayonnaise
may be served with this or plain.
less expensive. boiled dressing.
Salad plants contain but little nour-
ishment. Their chief value lies in the
mineral salts they contain, and when
mixed with dressings of oil they are
food.
Lettuce and green vegetables, II al
lowed to stand in dressing, will wilt,
so 1t Is best to keep the lettuce crisp
and fresh, and serve 1t freshly pre-
pared.
Grape Fruit or PomeIo saIad.-There
is no fruit salad equal in deliciousness
to that prepared with carefully-re.
moved sections of grape fruit added
very gently to celery and nuts, and
mixed with mayonnaise. Sometimes
even the nuts will crush the fruit and
the utmost care should be used in
mixing the salad, otherwise the Juice
is crushed from the fruit and the salad
is watery and unsightly.
Grape Fruit and cherry.-Cut the
ripe fruit in halves, using the large
cherries when obtainable. Cut the
grape fruit and remove the sectionc
with care; let all stand few mo
ments in French dressing to season
Serve with mayonnaise en- lettuce and
garnish with maraschino cherries.

As night approaches and the SUMS
