from being torn if hung on hook.
Sew the loop on the wrong" side of

Remember when frying fish that If
the fat in which it is fried is not
quite boiling the fish will be greasy,
sodden and unwholesome. Never put
in the fish till blue smoke is rising
from the fat.
The next time you wish to beat the
yolk and white Of an egg separately
try this plan: Break the egg, leaving
the yolk in the half shell. Beat the
white stiff, then drop in the yolk and
beat together. 1t is not only done
better, but you save washing an extra
dish and losing a large proportion of
the egg yolk that sticks to dish and

TASTY GERMAN DINNER
MENU THAT EVEN AN AMERICAN
WILL ENJOY.
Wholesome and Appetizing Dishes Of
the Fatherland Are Easily Pre-
pared and Worth the Trouble
for Variety They Afford.

Noodle Soup-Take a nice piece of
short rib and a shin bone and cook
slowly for about two hours. Then
strain. Then take three eggs, one and
half cups of flour and make stiff
dough. Work it we'll until the dough
is very smooth, then roll out very thin
and let dry medium. Cut in long
strips and fold; then cut very fine
some parsley, add few dashes of
nutmeg to soup. Now the noodles are
added and all is to be boiled 10 min
utes, then served.
Bread Dumplings-Take some stale
white bread and cut in small squares.
then pour over them half cup of
very hot drippings and stir; then COW
er and let stand for a while SO that
the bread softens. Beat four eggs
lightly add salt and nutmeg and about
one cup of bread crumbs (not cracker
crumbs). Stir thoroughly and make
into balls. Drop these into boiling
water and let boil 20 minutes. Then
serve with meat gravy. They will be
very light and delicious.
Sauerkraut-Take as much sauer-
kraut as wished and if too sour put in
collander and let little cold water
run through it. Put in pot with a
little water, add caraway seeds and
let cook slowly until soft. Then CRATE
raw potato and mix with a little
flour, then beat quickly into sauer-
kraut. Pour about two tablespoons of
grease from the pork roast over this.
This will be dish that even an Amer
lean will enjoy.
Pork Roast-Take a nice roast of
pork from the end of the loin. wash
well, then rub salt and pepper in and
let stand while before roasting. Cut
half of an onion and a small piece of
garlic and two leaves of fresh sage,
not ground, into it. Then add some
water enough for gravy. Roast slow
ly and baste often. Serve on well
heated plates.
Mashed Potatoes-Take the best po-
tatoes, peel and boil then strain and
mash them. Add butter and salt and

milk. Put in warm place to raise.
Melt half pound of butter, cup of
sugar and beat to a cream; add two
eggs, half teaspoon cinnamon, half
teaspoon lemon flavoring and little
salt Add to raised dough and beat

sugar, cinnamon and small pieces of
butter over it. Let it raise once be-

| ing water over it slowly. This takes
the bitter taste away. Let stand On

ton of it. But, alas for the credulous
newspaper man! The railroad super.

that the published report of the acci-

on the daily press, which innocently
published the item; and, it being a
most attractive calamity, the news
was reprinted broadcast throughout

 Clarence ]. Shearn, counsel for Thaw, has announced his intention of introducing many alienists to prove that the eccentric millionaire is com pletely cured of his mental malady and should now be released. MT. Shearn has also moved for hearing of the case by jury and will press this demand upon the court, despite the opposition of the court which con- tends that the testimony of alienists is entirely too technical to merit com petent decision by twelve laymen.
 The present action for a jury trial is similar to one made in 1908 by Thaw. At that time Justice Mills de- cided that the slayer of Stanford White had no right to such trial and his deicsion was later upheld by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court.
 There appears to be little liklihood that the 28 volumes of testimony talk en at Thaw's trial for murder, will he requisitioned for recapitulation at the present hearing. Both MT. Jer- ome and Mir. Shearn have expressed themselves as opposed 60 again airing the famous case in court.

THAW WILL FIGHT FOR HIS FREEDOM Application ! of Slayer of Stanford White to Be
 Heard June 3. NEW DEVELOPMENTS William T. Gerome Employed By The State to Resist Every Effort of
 ThaW Counsel.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS

New York, June 1.-The habeas
 corpus proceedings looking toward
 the release of Harry K. Thaw from
 the insane asylum at Matteawan, where he was committed in 1906 af-
 ter being adjudged insane at his sec
 ond trial for the murder of Stanford
 White, will be heard before Justice
 Keogh, of the New York Supreme Court, on June 8. Both William T. I Jerome, who has been retained by the state to fight Thaw's action, and Clarence J. Shearn, the young Pitts burgers counsel expressed confidence today as to the outcome of the case
 Great interest has been aroused in the present proceedings because of the fact that Thaw's wife, the for mer Evelyn Nesbit, is reported to have borne a child, and because a heretofore unknown letter is said to have been found in which Thaw threatened to kill other beside the New York architect. Both of these reports have been denied, but it is believed that they will be thrashed out in court and that much interest ing testimony will come to light.
 In addition to these interesting fac tors, the present proceedings will be an occasion for the most determined attempt to gain freedom for Thaw yet made by his family. It is said that the Thaws will spare no expense in the hire of alienists to show that the young man is now sane and compe- tent, and it is predicted that the hear ing will drag along tor weeks.
 The retention of former District Jerome for the state is talk en to mean that every obstacle will be put in the way of sThaw's release. It was Jerome who handled the prose-t cution of Thaw for-the commonwealth in his two trials in 1906, and the former District Attorney. besides be- ng conversant with every part of the rhaw case is known to be strongly of

His Own Bills.

Butchers are not generally credited with an especially sensitive tempera. menu, but New York has one member of the guild whose skin must be ex. traordinarily thin. At any rate, he goes to unusual lengths to exonerate himself from the charge of extortion. Above the cashiers window he has hung this sign:
 If prices are high don't blame me. They have hit me, too. Here is the meat bill of my own family. Read it." Then follows an itemized ac- count of the chops, steaks, roasts and cats meat consumed by the butchers dependents in one week. The prices recorded are sufficiently altitudinous to appease the most disgruntled cus- toners, and they settle their own bills with good grace.
