HOT WEATHER HINTS.

The secret of keeping cool In hot
weather is not all Individuality. Prop
er food, sufficient exercise. sleep and
daily bathing. the avoidance Of stimu-
lants and a cheerful mind will insure
one against undue suffering In hot
weather.
Succulent fruits and vegetables. sal
ads and cooling fruit drinks are all SO
during hot weather. The
body, If given as little foods as possi-
BILE, will have less waste to dispose OF
and there will be greater comfort.
Lemonade is one of the best and
most cooling drinks; 1t thins the blood
and has a tonic effect upon the whole
system.
During the heated term is the time
for the house mother to take rest
from cooking. Let sandwiches, salads
and fruit with frozen desserts be COM
mon and much labor will be dispensed
with and corresponding increase In
comfort.

a pint jar of Canton ginger, add cup
of sugar, a quart OF water and boil

cup Of orange Juice, half cup OF
lemon Juice and three tablespoonfuls
of the sirup from the jar. Put into the
punch bowl with a quantity of cracked
ice and add a pint of apollinaris water
from time to time to give 1t sparkle.
This amount of punch will serve forty
people
Musk melons chilled and cut IN
halves the seeds removed and then
filled with ice cream makes delicious
hot weather dessert. Garnish with
roasted almonds or pieces of ginger to
simulate seeds.
Fig Sandwches.-Chop a few figs
and add water enough to cook smooth.
When paste is formed add few
drops of lemon juice and small
amount of chopped nuts. Spread on
thinly sliced and buttered bread.
When crackers are the only bread at
hand. spread them with cream cheese

Grated maple sugar with chopped
and Drowned walnuts is another good
sandwich filling.

Whether 1t pays to so into the mar

answered in the case Of Gandil. whose
addition to the Nationals virtually
made the team. says Joe Jackson in
the Washington Post. He continues:
1t is generally understood that Gan
dill cost $4,000. including the assessed
valuation Of four players and a cash
balance. the deal being similar in this
sense to the one by which Russell
went from Baltimore to the Athletics.
Russell's purchase was a dead loss.
but that was entirely the fault of the
player, who put himself out of the
game. So far Gandil has been sue
cess. He has proved that he Is star
fielder. and while possibly he may not
hit quite as well after he has been in
time. he shapes up like n man who

was not much more to learn In the art
of baking apples. but try these: Wash
and prepare the fruit for baking by
scooping out the stem and making a
hollow, by getting out as much OF the
core without going through to the BIOS
som end. The we'll that is left is
ffiled with sugar, bit OF butter and
tablespoonful Of water Pour water
around the fruit and bake as usual.
The apple holds all the favor. and 1t

pAINrIEs FROM THE PAPER BAG

Because the weather Is hot do not
let us neglect the delicacies from the
paper bag. These may be prepared
and put on to the oven rack when the
lower oven is being used for other
things.
Tripe Creoie.-Weigh out a pound
of tripe and slice in half inch pieces.
Chop one large onion. slice one green
pepper. add six fresh mushrooms ana
two tomatoes, skinned seeded and
chopped. Add salt and pepper and mix
with the tripe. Add a half cup OF
gravy or broth and put into buttered
bag. Bake forty-five minutes.
Sausage. onions and tomatoes.
cooked twenty minutes in bag is
nice luncheon dish.
Calls Brains With Brown Butter
Clean and wash the brain. add salt,
pepper, a tablespoonful of capers and
few sprigs of parsley. Brown two
tablespoonfuls of butter In pan and
pour over the mixture. Put into q bag
and bake twenty minutes.
Beef Loaf.-Cut six slices OF raw
beef steak very thin. fiatten and sea
stufflng of small onion. three slices
of bacon. little parsley and two ta-
blespoonfuls of ham and beef drippings
all chopped together. Season with
sage or thyme. add few bread crumbs
and roll up and skewer with tooth
picks. Place in a buttered bag. add
two tablespoonfuls Of butter and a
teaspoonful of caramel. Bake thirty
minutes.
Cooking in paper bags which are
made for that purpose appeals to most
women, as the food retains the flavor
and zest which no other method of
cookery even approaches.
The food once placed In bag large
enough and with the heat right, no
more looking into the oven Is neces-
sary until the time is up. 1t is neces-
sary to get used to the oven In order
tc time the cookery.
Soups are about the only food which
cannot satisfactorily be cooked in a
paper bag: Cabbage Is a vegetable
that is not improved by paper bag
cookery.

outfield vacancy.
However. Zian not only landed the
job as substitute outfielder. but in
three days clinched a regular position.
The poor showing of the team has
thrown a shadow over the good work
he has been doing. With Kilties up
in the race the praise of this youth
would be sung all over the city. Zinn
gives promise of developing into a
great batter. He hits the ball hard
and what is more, does his hitting in
the pincbes. Many times this season
he has made good with runners on
the trails Zinn is no Ty Cobb on his
feet, but he covers a big area of
ground in the outfield and is fairly
fast on the bases. He has made more
hits than any other member of the

he is in the big leagues to stay.

Bears for Polar Research.

north polar research. Dr. Nansen. who

porary as ''un des specialistes les plus

asks whether explorers would not find
a valuable auxiliary in the white polar
bear. The same idea had occurred to
Amundsen, who consulted Mr.. Hagen

of training the bears for draft pur-
poses in place of dogs. The Hamburg
