WOULD BETTER
ALLEY CONDITIONS
Dr.. Thomas Jesse Jones Says Wash
ington Causeways Are
Worse in Country.

An urgent appeal for the betterment Of
alley conditions in Washington was made
in an address yesterday by DR.. Thomas
Jesse Jones, chairman Of the central
house committee, at the monthly meeting
Of the HOusekeepers' Alliance in the
Chamber OF Commerce rooms.
Mr.. Jones emphasized the construction
and distribution of the 80 alleys in the
city. He stated that the largest number
OF alleys were to be found in the best
residential sections. He claimed that the
residents OF these sections were exposed
to many diseases which their mode of
living otherwise would protect them
from.
The only practical method. he declared,
OF remedying the existing evils, would BE-
for Congress to appropriate enough
money to convert the alleys into minor
streets. Such plan has been submitted
to the Commissioners and they are being
urged to recommend it to Congress. Dur
ing the last five years 80 alley houses
have been condemned. and at that rate
it would be fifty years before the city

The harshness of the foorwalker

and said nothing. Her feet felt heavier

At last the hour of closing came. Tes-

during the time when she should have

Time Is Ripe for Making
of Christmas Fruit Cake

Mincemeat Is much better it is
made several weeks before it is to- be
used, as it improves in flavor by standing.
and the same is true Of the richer va
rieties of plum pudding. II the pudding
is made a week or ten days before Christ
mas and then boiled again or steamed
Just before it is served until it is thor
oughly hot it will be found not only
much more delicious, but a great deal
easier of digestion.
Fruit cake is also better If kept for a
while before it is eaten in an alright tin
box or closely covered crock, but 1t must
not be left where it VIII be exposed to
the air. or it will become dry and hard.
In making plum pudding. mince pies,
or rich cakes, it is well to have every
thing ready to your hand before the ac-
tual mixing of the ingredients begins.
Currants raisins, &C., should be well
picked over and the former washed and
dried and freed from all bits of stalk
that sometimes adhere to them. In max
ing cake 1t Is well to rub them thor
oughly in sifted flour, but this is not
necessary with pudding. In mixing a
pudding put in all the dry ingredients
first, adding the liquid gradually at the
last, and steam or boil at once. Instead
Of using the old-fashioned bag it is bet
ter to put the pudding into a mold or

so that the water cannot get into the

This is John Bulls own plum pudding,
