LACK Of. PuNTING
OhOER new RULES

Eliminated.

the Actson OF the new rules.
From all over the country there IL
agreement on this ono point in connec-
ton with the nadtcally changed regu-
la&ions-punttng has virtually been
eliminated
Now q team can kSep the bali and
make gains. hence there . no reason
to surrender 1t by q punt. Instead.
there 10 recourse to The forward pass.
whach means big gains II 1t works. and
should 1t fail. carries no penalty Sc
verer than q lost down. unless. OF
course, tho ball should be cleanly
caught by the enemy and be carried
for . big gain.
This lack of puntinS may be said to
be the most notable change worked by
the new rules II was . reform that
was desired, for in tho last few years
the defense had gained strength to a
point where the offense had little
chance TO make consistent progress
against a team Of anywhere near its
own cahbre HaAce, there was the
constant use Of tho punt Two tries, a
petty gain and then . punt That was
tho program.
The football authorities sought to do
away with this condition. They weak
ened tho defense. The forward pass
was made legal anywhere on tho field
and tho number Of downs was in
creased from three to four
The removal Of the restrictions on
the forward pass makes It q play that
Is likely to be used all the time. and
compels the team on defense to play a
more open game in order to guard
against a surprise.
With tho defense thus opened. there
Is a better chance for feet backs to
run tho ends. or for heavy plunging
backs to hit the line for small gains.
Tho added downs makes this style of
play the more successful, since with
four chances to make ten yards. the
comparatively small average OF only
two and one-half yards TO a plunge
suface to hold the ball.
During tho three or four last seasons
the coaches ran around breathless to
ind punters. and to develop their dis
lance kicking ability.
Now the ppnt comes so compar ative-
ly seldom that the Importance of the
punter 10 much reduced. The abolition
Of the onside kick also does away to
q large extent with the need for a
man who can punt accurately.
Only for the field goal k1Oker is there
still a strong demand, and unless later
games bring some change, IL Is likely
that in this department the use Of the
skilled toe will have its best develop
ment

BOXES OF BRONZE LEATHER
ReceptacIes for SpooIs, ThimbIe and
Needles That All Little Girls
Will Appreciate.

Extremely attractive in that partic-
ular way that girls very much ike
are the tiny little bronze leather
boxes which are made to hold spools
of thread. thimble and needles. These
are meant for little mending kits to
put in ones bag when one is visiting
for few days. The boxes are very
small, some of them containing only
black silk and white thread. while 9TH
ers have a row of four or five spools
They have lids of the leather, and the
edges of the box are bound with mar
row satin ribbon or with silk or SILK
braid The boxes are long and mar
row and the lids are hinged to them
by the ribbon binding. which is sewed
together at the end.
Some of the boxes are the same
width through the length. and others
are tapered at one end. The boxes
which are meant for more than one
spool are usually the same width
throughout. The width is just enough
to admit spool being put in side
ways. When only one spool is to be
put in the box 1t goes in lengthwise.

FAMOUS FARM SAUCES
OLD RECIPES HANDED DOWN
THRCoGH GENERATIONS.
Many Have Eeen Patented and Ac'
auired Worldwide Regulations
Such as Orlginators Never Dreamed
of-Tomato Mustard.

Country farmhCuses years ago pos
sessed good many other treasures
besides their tallboy chests and their
carved oak presses, although most
of these treasures seem to have van
ished nowadays.
In the days before every village
market town had its city products,
and Inherent peddlers were the chief
statesmen, they thought, in fact,
great deal of their own old recipes
for homemade sauces. They were
made according to directions which
were handed down through genera
lions, and formed the special pride
of many a busy housekeeper. AS a
matter of fact. many OF the old recipes
have become patented. and the orig
inal has acquired a worldwide repu-
tation such as its originators would
never have foretold for 1t.
Among the forgotten recipes is one
for tomato mustard, which is worthy
of the consideration of those whose
stock of tomatoes is greater than can
be used for cooking and salads.
To two gallons of tomatoes three
peppers should be added when
minced. and these must be placed in
large preserving pan with table
spoonful of freshly ground black pep
per, an ounce of powdered ginger,
quarter of an ounce OF cloves, half
an ounce of mixed spice, two ounces
of salt and the grated rind of lem
on. These ingredients should be we'll
minced together and boiled for an
hour to an hour and a half. At the
end of that time the contents OF the
pan should be allowed to cool, and
when cold an ounce OF curry powder
and an ounce of powdered mustard
| added, with a breakfast cupful OF
vinegar This mustard mixture
should be bottled and corked down
tightly.
Another sauce which is equally ex-
cellent to eat with cold roast or boiled
meat is also made OF tomatoes.
! To a gallon OF tomatoes a full
| breakfast cupful of minced red pep
pers and large cupful of minced
onion should be added. the tomatoes
having been cut up very small. Half
pound of brown sugar, in half tea
| cupful of sailor less ii this is con-
/ sidered too much-a small teaspoon
( full each of powdered ginger, cloves
/ and cinnamon, can be worked in with
half teaspoonful of grated nutmeg
and rather less of powdered mace. To
all these should be added pint and
half of vinegar, and the ingredients
turned into a preserving pan and
boiled for three hours.

A number of years ago blackbirds
were exceedingly abundant through

poisoning the birds A single grain OF
corn soaked in strychuine was enough
to kill blackbird In the years that
followed. gre at numbers Of these and
other birds were destroyed during the
spring and fall. At the same time
thousands of quail, prairie chickens
and other game birds were killed in
every county to supply the market

took to living entirely on locusts. In
such localities fair crops were Sc

the birds

were SO complete that 1t was impossi.
