escaping from vessels from some of
the tropical ports where the plague
has a foothold.
"In New Orleans they are thor
oughly awake to the necessity of
guarding against this danger. There
are assembled In that city at the
present time the governors of Flori-
da, Alabama, Georgia, Texas and
Louisiana to take measures to ward
off the plague and consider the 4ues-
tion of quarantine regulation. After
the call for the conference was is
sued one infected rat was discovered
in New Orleans and this fact no
doubt gives increased zest and great
err point to the deliberations of the
conference of governors.
Porto Rico has had the plague,
but it is now nearly abated there
through the systematic destruction of
rats. The government entomologist
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, Winthrop V. Tower, has been
In charge of the determination of
plague and ats simultaneously in
Porto Rico. Speaking about his
work there he says:
"In the city of San Juan the houses

from the ground, or the foundations
protected by a concrete wall extend
ing into the ground, while all rat In
tested locations have been razed.
Forty men are at work at present
with three thousand traps and with
poison, cleaning the city, which is d.
vided into eight districts. Each rat
caught is carefully examined for bu-
bonic germs. Fruit trees have been
protected with bands Of tin, which
the rodents are unable to scale. In
a short time there will not be a sin
| gle rat left on the island.
ut Is easy to see with such thor
ough work how the plague may prove
to be a blessing In disguise to Porto
Rico. Rats are vermln and their
proximity ought not to be endured by
decent people. In former years gen.
tlemen and ladies, too, were tolerant
of some kinds of vermin which now
find refuge only on outcasts. With
advancing civilization we are conf
dent no self-respecting city will per-
NIT the existence within its limits of
such lothsome vermin as the destruct-
i've and disease-conveying rat"

SHOULD BE SIMMERED
BOILING CHICKEN Is A CASTRO
NoMIc ERROR.
Fowl Always Should Be Rubbed With
Lemon Before CookIng-Mlstake
to Salt the Water to
Start With.

Our most scientific cooks say that
the way to boil an egg is not to boil
It. ~Paradoxioally, We may say thu
same thing about a chicken, for the
way to boil a chicken Is not to boil 1t,
but to simmer it.
In nine cases out Of ten in cooking,
the lesser fire does the better work,
and this Is especially true In the boil
Ing Of all meats. They must be boiled
very, very slowly, which Is the same
thing as saying they must be sim
mered.
Any ancient bird can be simmered
until the meat will part from the
bones, but any young chicken can be
boiled as tough as the %proverbial old
hen-ths meat olinging to the bones
and seeming to be all bone and ten
don.
The best way to start the prepared
chicken Ia to pour boiling water over
It, let 1t boil up for a few brief min
utes-fvs Is usually about all 1t will
stand-then lessen the fire. Skim and
keep covered while cooking.
Do not salt the water to start with,
as our old-fashioned recipes told us to
do. Put the salt in when the chicken
is half done. A good cook with the
knack can do almost anything In this
way, and spoil neither the broth nor
the bouill. but there are others who
must follow rules to the letter.
To insure greater tenderness, some
cooks rub their boiling chicken with a
lemon before putting 1t on to cook.
Others put a tablespoon or two OF
vinegar into the water. Neither of
these things do any harm, and either
may lessen any rank quality present.
But they are not absolutely necessary
to the securing Of a tender product.
Notice that 1t is the pot for boiling
rather than the stewpan. There is
just as much difference in the boiling
of things in a thick iron pot, which
holds the heat and distributes even
gas heat, as between the thin bot
toned frying pan and one thick bot
toned. For very quick cooking the
thin-bottomed frying pan is out Of the
question, as we know, because a meat
will burn 10 quickly IN 1t.
We have q greater number Of uses
for cold chicken in ummer than in
winter, and, by the way, 1t is general
ly better to let u chicken cool IN
the liquor in which 1t was cooked and
stay IN 1t until We are ready to use
1t.
II there Is one thing more than an
other concerning which tastes differ,
1t Is in the making of this salad. The
amount Of celery used varies from
onethird as much as chicken to one
and a half times - much celery as
meat. Equal parts OF chicken, celery
and cabbage are sometimes used, and
the dressings are legion, from the
expensive mayonnaise to the ine1pen-
sive boiled dressings. The salad may
also be garnished to suit the taste.
Some Of the older Earnishes were
boiled beets and hard boiled eggs.
which a Japanese cook will turn into
roses. tulips and some quite uniden-
tifable blossoms. plus checker work
and various parQuetry.

KEEP OUT THE RATS,

That 1t is absolutely necessary to
be cautious everywhere when such a
thing as the bubonic plague threat
ems, Is evident from the fact that
an infected rat was discovered re-
Gently In Philadelphia. Rats are on
all ships and they carry the disease
as nothing else can. AS long as there
are vessels coming In to Perth Amboy
from West Indian ports, where tho
disease RACES, just as much vigilence
Is needed here as at Philadelphia or
any other seaport.
Discussing this the Newark Star
says:
Discovery Of a rat infected with
bubonic plague in Philadelphia
brings the possibility Of the pesti-
lenoe further north. The campaign
against rats has been taken up vigor-
ously by the health authorities OF
that city, while In New Orleans.
where a similar discovery was made
last Saturday, the officials continue
watchful and active. F~umigation Of
all ships entering American ports, no
matter whence they come, should
now be imperative, and a national
war should be declared on the ro-
dents. The time to fight the bubonio
plague is now, before it has secured 2
foothold."
1t is gratifying to know We have a
federal health officer here in the per-
son of DR.. Charles w. Naulty, who Is
thoroughly aroused to the serious
ness of the situation, and Perth Am
boy can be assured Of every protec-
ton that can be afforded. DR..
Naulty should have the hearty coop
Grafton of the local health authori-
ties in every move he makes, as the
plague once found here, will cost the
city vastly more money, not to men
ton the probable loss of life, than
will ever be necessary to spend in
a~ffording adequate protection for the
port.
Discussing the situation in Phila-
delphia, the Press, of hat city,
says:
even though only one suspicious
case has yet been discovered here in
the archaeological examination of
dead rats by the Department of
Health there is reason enough, not
for alarm, but for ~unceasing vigi-
lance. Our health department can
not afford to rest in any mistaken
confidence. All seaports are In
danger Of the plague bacillus being
introduced into them by infected rati

AL dia Siguiente, a las cuatro de
la tarde, llegue al alto de las cru
ces. Apeeme para pisar aquel suelo
desde donde dije adi0s para mi NAL
mi terra nativa. Volvi a yer ese
vale del Cauca, pals tan bello como
desventurado va. Tantas veces ha-
bia sonado divisarle desde aquella
montana, que despues de tenerlo con
toda esplendidez, miraba mi alre-
dedor para convencerme de que en-
tai momento no era juguete de un
sueno.
Nh corazon palpitaba acelerada-
mente como 81 presintiese que pronto
lba reclinarse sobre el la cabeza de
Maria; y mis- oidos ansiaban recoger
en- Ell vlento una voz perdida de ella.
FlJos estaban mis- ojos sobre las CO.
linas iluminadas al pie de la sierra
dlstante donde blanqueaba la casa de
ms padres. Lorenzo acababa de dar.
me alcance trayendo del diestro nm
hermoso caballo blanco que habla re-
clbido en- Tocota para que yo hieie-
Sc en- 81 las tres ultimas leguas de Ia
jornada.
Mlra-le die, cuando Sc dispo-
MIA ensillarmelo, y mi brazo le mos
traba ell punto blanco de la sierra al
cual no podla 20 deiar de mirar
Manana a esta hora estaremos ALA.
