Danger in Watercress.

The tempting punches of fresh green
watercress that are now found in mar
ket are never more welcome than at
this season, but great care should be
taken to wash them thoroughly; the
brook from which they came may have
been infested with typhoid germs.
says a writer. Experts tell us that
much typhoid fever comes from vege-
tables that have been improperly fer
tilted or from plants watered by pol
luted streams. Wherever possible
vegetables should be boiled, but in the
case of lettuce or watercress this is
usually impossible. The only thing one
can do if one does not want to give
up eating them is to wash them thor
oughly in several waters. One can
even make the first water cOapy one
without leaving any disagreeable taste,

FISH FOR THE TABLE
ITS PROPER SELECTION, COOK.
ING AND SERVING.
Almost lnnumerabIe Are the Ways In
Which They May Be Prepared
Either Broiled or Planked
They Are Delicious.

In 1851 Miss Beecher wrote: ''In
selecting fish take those that are
firm and thick, having stiff fins, thick
scales, the gills bright red and the
eyes prominent and full. When fish
are long out of water they grow soft,
and fins bend easily, the scales are
dull and soft, the gills grow dark and
the eyes sink and shrink away. They
should be dressed as soon as caught,
sprinkled with salt and cooked the
same day"
AT Saturdays remarkable market
was heard: Fish at five cents a
pound is surely a remarkable bless
ing without any disguise, but how do
you cook fish,"
Well, they can be fried, broiled.
baked with stufing, crimped, faxed
and in balls, and souff1es and creamed
and an occasional chowder.
One thing the cookery books direct
you to do is, ITO put the fish into as
much or more water as will cover
them" We never drown ours, for too
much water is bad. If you want to
boil the fish little more water than
will half cover is sufficient Keep the
lid of the saucepan well down and
simmer gently, it eats much richer
and has finer flavor than the book
way, which soddens it and takes
away the fine firmness we prize.
"And how shall I tell when it is
done?" Was the next query. When
the filet, or thick part next to the
backbone, can be easily drawn away
from the bone with knife.
Steamed fish is f1rmer and finer
than fish baked or boiled The max
ing Of filets and the baking of fish
requires more care in the cookery and
richer ingredients that is usually
given to fish cookery in the home,
and the excellence of these dishes
depends upon the sauces after all.
One fish dish we think well of is
made with mushrooms and sweet
peppers, quantity of melted butter
and some lemon juice. The fish may
be broiled or planked and then gar
nished; the long chill peppers are
more slightly than the large sweet
peppers. Cold fish faxed and mixed
with salad dressing and trimmed with
capers and served on a bed of crisp
lettuce always pleases. For season
ing, lemon juice is always popular,
and vinegar, either tarragon or the
ordinary sort, is acceptable.
salt is the stuff that spoiled the
fish when you did not put any on"
so salt the fish when starting it to
cook and serve celery salt and pap
rika with it at the table.-Henrietta
D. Grauel.

courses for RELIGIOUS Instruction.


The Wisconsin Institute of Religious
Instruction, which was begun here
last summer and which proved such a
success that it will be repeated again
this year, is growing to be a state
wide movement This year, in addi-
ton to the school to be held here, the
organization will conduct schools in
Eau Claire, Beaver Dam, Superior and
Rockford, Ill.
1t has been growing in the state
for the last twelve years, and during
the last three years the work has
doubled annually. It's object is to sup
plement the work of the public
school in the field of religious instruc'
ton
The modern missionary movement
has had profound effect on present
day political, industrial and social con-
ditions, and yet there is no compre-
hensive plan in operation for instruct
ing the youth in this movement, in
spite of the efforts that the Sunday
school is making. 1t has not, how
ever, the time, the teachers nor the
equipment for the general instruction
work The Wisconsin institute will
provide course of study in the Bible
and in foreign missions.

Increase in Cost of Paper.

Wisconsin paper manufacturers are
sending out notices of an immediate
advance in the price of paper and
withdrawing all previous quotations.
The reason is said to be the increas-
ing cost of wood pulp and the conse-
quent necessity of finding a substitute.
Experiments to this end are being
made at the United States forestry
products laboratory in Madison. Sim
liar tests will be made at the new
100000 laboratory at Wausau.

That the adoption of new state
land policy, by which the 100000 to
100000 acres lying idle in Wiscon-
sin could be developed and made pro-
ductive, would be the greatest agency
to develop northern Wisconsin, is
urged by DR.. Charles Mccarthy, chief
of the legislative reference library, in
a statement. For three months an in
dependent investigation of the land
problem has been prosecuted by the
state board of public affairs. DR.. Nc
Carthy believes that an administra-
tive land board should be created by
the next legislature to supervise con-
tracts between settlers and land
agents.

for 1913.
The Neenah and Menasha aeries
have joined in an effort to secure the

other aeries of the order that they
will support Manitowoc in the effort
to land the convention. Manitowoc
this year will send two delegates to

d large number of members, as has
been the case in former years, with a
view of cutting down expenses as

Manv 70 Have libraries.

Many TO Have Libraries.
One hundred and sixty cities and
villages in Wisconsin give their resi-
dents the privileges of free public Ii
braries, and yet scarcely half of the
citizens of the commonwealth are so
fortunate. This is the statement of
Frank A. Hutchins of the extension
division of the University of Wiscon-
sin
The figures are as follows: Total
population, 2,393.46O; residents of
towns served, 1,1OI733; people I'M
served, 1,225,727.
Within a few years, declares Mr..
Hutchins, nearly all the villages will
have local libraries, but even this ex-
tension will leave large share of the
1881 without service.

Will Resist Suspension.

Columbia, Aug. 8.-Samuel F.
Massey, who has been suspended
from the Confederate Home, will
very probably bring injunction pro-
ceedings against the board Of COM
missioners of the home to prevent
his suspension. He said to-day that
he had placed his case in the hands
of several well known attorneys OF
Columbia and that action would very
probably be taken in a few days.
The charges preferred against Mr..
Massey were insubordination, breach
of the rules, drunkenness and insult
ing an officer of the home. Mr.. Mas
sey stated that he was not cited to
appear before the commissioners and
that only two of the board were
present.
Mr.. Massey said to-day that he
would ask his attorneys to find out
whether the board has the right to
dismiss an inmate of the home.

PALATIAL PENITENTIARY
IS NOW BEING BUILT
The United States is Erecting Marvel at Leav-
worth-The Waldorf-Astoria Has Moth
ing on New Home of Convicts.

| only game barred is football, for that
would give too many opportunities
to get even with some enemies in
the lineup.
"The Leavenworth penitentiary
has been building for about six
years, and up to this time has cost
the United States government ST.
100000. Just what the completed
building will cost would be difficult
to estimate, but from the way things
look at Leavenworth another million
dollars or more will be necessary.
THE penitentiary is within a few
minutes ride of Leavenworth and is
located on part of the old Fort Leav-
enworth reservation. Almost every
thing used in the construction, ex-
cept, of course, the marble, tile and
lumber, was made and put in place
by convict labor. The stone is re-
ceived in large blocks and dressed

thing which can be is made, worked
up and put in place by convict labor.
"The Bellefonte penitentiary will
begin operation with as many con-
victs as are now confined in the Leav-
enworth penitentiary. Bellefonte
will have 5000 acres of fine farming
land, as against 1000 acres at Leav-
enworth. It's location is equal to
Leavenworth's from the farming
viewpoint and vastly superior to it
from others. For instance, Leaven-
worth has to depend on the city of
LeavenWorth for it's water supply
while Bellefonte has water in abund-
ance.
Taking all that was seen at Leav-
enworth, the acreage, the location,
the buildings, and all-important Wa
ter supply, Pennsylvania may be as
sured that in the Bellefonte peniten-
tiary, when completed, they will have
the most modern, convenient and up
to-date penal institution in the
world. .''-Pittsburg Dispatch.
