USEFUL HINTS FOR coNvERTs.

BY Martha McCulloch Williams.
Paper bag cooking Is liberal edu-
cation in other things beside economy
and flavor. It teaches you to beware,
also to take care. The being ware
applies particularly to the bags them
selves-their care and keeping. no
less their use.
II the paper bag habit 10 firmly es-
tablished do not keep the bags lying
about loose, nor huddled in drawers,
nor. worst of all, rolled up or crum-
pied. A large part Of their value Is
risked by such crumpling. Let them
lie fat whore 1t is dry, cool and airy.
To this send get light wooden
box. nail shelves inside It, say two or
three inches apart, and hinge on q
door, or hang q washable curtain
over the front Of 1t. Lay the bags
upon the shelves. each size separate.
RouIads OF vsal.-Get half a breast
OF veal. bone 1t carefully, lay 1t on q
board. skin side down. season with
salt and pepper. and spread thickly
over 1t sausage stumng. To make
the stufnng take half pork sausage
meat and half we'll dried bread
crumbs and moisten with a beaten
egg and enough milk to make It stick
together, but not to make 1t wet Roll
up carefully and tie with clean string,
taking care especially to keep the
ends close. Rub over with butter or
dripping and put in q we'll buttered
bag, laying around II slices Of carrot,
turnip and onion. Cook for i've min
utes in very hot oven, then slack
heat half. and cook for forty-flve
minutes more.
saute Of Chicken with Mushrooms.
Cut young tender chicken into
Joints, trim OF all projecting bones,
season with salt and pepper-not too
highly-and brush over with melted
butter. Put into q well-buttered bag
with eight large or twelve small mush-
rooms. cut in slices. Add a pinch
Of herbs, very small onion, and half
a gill Of good white stock. Seal bag
tight, give ten minutes In a very hot
oven. then thirty In moderate heat.
Take up on q hot dish and keep hot
while you make the gravy. Take for
the gravy the hot liquor from the bag,
put 1t In bowl with the yolk Of an
egg beaten up in half gill Of cream.
Stir hard over hot water, but do not
let boil. When thoroughly blended,
pour over the chicken, garnish with
chopped parsley, few mushroom
heads and half moons Of crisp puff
paste. Serve as hot as possible.

MUST FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.

"Be sure you are right-then g.
ahead" said Davy Crockett the back
woods sage. The saying has no more
pertinent application than to the won.
der-working of paper bags cookery.
Being sure you are right, you can go
ahead to admiration. II you are right.
you will have none but good words
for the process.
Baked Apple eauee-Peel and core
six arm apples Of good flavor. tart
rather than sweet. Stick three cloves
in each and put bits OF mace and Gin
namon in tho core-spaces. Put them
in well-buttered bag with two heaping
cups Of sugar and half tumbler OF
water. Cook thirty minutes. Have
the oven very hot at first, but slack
heat after seven minutes. Lemon

a cup more sugar at the outset.

ing the bag. Cook ca q trivet set
upon the grid-shelf. Serve with hard

This II eaten hot. II eaten cold,
whipped cream IL the thing for It.
Sweet Potato Puddlna.-Make q
batter as for apple pudding. Use q
cup more sugar. else only half pint
Of grated raw sweet potato. Sweet
potatoes take a. much sugar as crab
apples to make them taste sweet
The creamier the milk the better
unless It Is creamy increase the pro-
portion Of butter. Cook In a we'll
buttered bag-nfty minutes will not
be too long for It. Make q peep-hole
In the upper bag-unless the pudding
longer. .....

light, saving out one white. Add q
generous cup of sugar, cup of stale
cake. crumbled fine, half cup Of

Large Fossil Collection.

Iowa City, August 17.-Prof. H..
F. Wickham, professor of entomology
in the University of Iowa and assist
ant curator of the geological muse
UNI, returned today from Florrisant,
Colo, bringing with him the third
largest collection of fossil insects in
America, the product of a summers
hard work in the fossil bearing mio-
Gene shade of Colorado.
The collection is exceeded only by
those in the museums of Harvard
university and the University of Col
orado. 1t includes approximately
1900 fossil insects and 400 fossil
plants. The fossils were obtained by
digging in the thin shale which opens
like the leaves of book.
Included among these fossil insects
is a fly resembling the tse-tse fly of
Africa, which conveys the disease
that has stripped great areas OF hui
man and animal inhabitants. 1t is
believed that this fly explains the dis
appearance of the miocene horse
from the American continent, which
once fiourished in great numbers,
but disappeared for some reason UNI
known to science. The time which
this horse and these insects lived is
estimated at one million years ago.

COWS GET "SoUSED."
Eight Jersey Cows Drown i'm River
After Eating Fermented
Ensilage.

Sterling, H., August 19.-Bessie
Mccoy, she of the melancholy eye,
and erstwhile staid and sober, went
to her death this evening and led
with her to the same tragic finish
seven of her female friends. The
deaths of Bessie and the other seven
came after and as a result of an af-
ternoon of drunkenness and debauch.
All eight were drowned in the river
that flows across the Mccoy. farm
and tonight are being pointed to sad
ly as a horrible example to all COW
kind of what may happen when the
flowing silo" is looked upon too
freely.
They were the best Jersey COWS a
man ever owned said Farmer Nc
Coy, until today the proprietor of the
misguided animals. And / never
thought that they were the kind that
would go and get themselves drunk
and then drownded."
The end of the entire eight actual
ly was the result of drunkenness.
Through a break in the pasture the
cows secured entrance to the inclos-
ure of the frame silo. Led by the dis
sipated Bessie, they attacked the open
end of the cornstalk press and soon
all were badly soused. The ensilage
had fermented to such an extent that
all of the animals actually were reel
ing in an excess of intoxication be-
fore they had imbibed more than a
couple of quarts each.
Then a craving for water attacked
the jewellers and joyously they rolled
and ziZagged their way to the river.
Bessie, il the sheer glory of her new
ly acquired buoyancy, pranced on
ahead and was the first to stick her
nose into the deep pool of watering
landing. The Jersey took but one
draft and then toppled dizzily into
the brink. One by one the other
eight followed her. Within a few
minutes all eight were floating down
stream, the victims of inebriety.
Mccoy, who had rushed to the
scene, was unable to rescue single
one.

CHILD FALLS INTO WELL.
Perry Infant Has Narrow Escape

Perry, Iowa, August 21.-Little
Bertha Walton, the 5-year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Walton,
had narrow escape from death by
drowning Tuesday at their home on
FIRST avenue.
In the yard at the Walton home
is an old abandoned we'll, which was
filled up with stones and dirt several
days ago. The workmen tamped the
dirt into the we'll in what they tho't
was a thorough manner, but when
the child stepped upon it the earth
gave way and she fell into the hole.
Mrs. Walton was standing within a
few feet of the little girl when the
earth gave way and succeeded in
grasping her dress in time to save
her. She was in water up to her
chin and had the mother been a few
seconds later the girl would have
drowned.
