STRICKLAND RtlS PLANT.
Inpressin Prevails That inie,.nr-
ban Win be Built to san Antonio.

Taylor, TeXas, Oct 24-A bust
ness deal Of more than ordinary
Impotence, and one which doubt
less affects the permanent growth
and development of the city, Was
finally consumated here when the
Texas Power and Light Company
of Dallas, Of which J. f. Strickland
OF Dallas is president. became pur-
Light and Power Company OF Tay-
Tor. Of which Charles A Zilker Of
San Antonio. A. ] Zilkcr Of Austin
and Garrett L, King OF Taylor were
the recent owners. The deal in
volved approximately 500, 200, and
WAS a cash consideration The new
management is now in charge Of
the Taylor plant.
The fact that the Texas Power
and Light Company is Il kindred
corporation of the Southern Trae-
ton company Of Texas, with j. f.
Strickland Of Dallas as president Of
both associations has led TO the
impression that the accumulation of
these several electric power plants
means trolley system from Red
River to San Antonio, with TAYLOR
on the direct line Further evidence
that such is the ultimate intention
of the new management OF this
chain OF electric power plants, the
Citizens Light and Power Company
of Taylor was only last week grant
ed a franchise by the county com
mlssioners' court Of Williamson
county to build IA fine Of electric
cables from Taylor 10 Circleville. on

NOTE IN COLOR HARMoNlEs
Modistes Have Achieved Really Elk
quisite Effects With the
Materials This Season.

The subtlety OF the color harmonies
of fabrics, combined with multi-col-
ored embroideries Of the evening
gowns, are quite sensational this sea-
son. Take, for instance, two shades
of soft gray chiffon marquisette. 1t
is wonderful what effect can be Great
ed by the graceful draping. Then an
emerald green tulle over Jeweled en-
broidered satin, which was shown at
a recent exhibition, had suggestion
of Titania's gossamer draperies. An
other gown suggestive of mystery and

opening over a side panel OF embroid.
cred Parma violet silk.
A regal white satin and diamond
evening gown, with narrow lace
trimmed train, which had a black note
in the velvet how at the waist and tall
feather headdress, was very striking.

TO COOK VEGETABLES
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS FROM 90.
MEsTIc SCIENCE EXPERT.
Green Peas, Beans, Cabbage, cauii-
flower and Such Like Should Be
Cooked In Uncovered Dishes to
Remove Acid Taste.

Vegetable foods include the cereals,
legumes and tubers, roots and bulbs,
green vegetation and vegetable fruits
and flowers. OF the whole list the ce-
reals are the most valuable, including
as they do the grains from which the
bread of nearly all the world is made,
but rice and corn are the cereals not
commonly referred to in lists of vege-
tables.
Legumes all belong to the pulse fam
| lily and the edible portion is In
the shape of pod, usually and
though there are many thousand
species only few kinds are used
on the table, beans, peas and lentils
being the ones most in use. All
legumes are rich in heterogeneous mat
ter, and If properly cooked and con
sumed in reasonable quantities may
to some extent replace portion Of
meat in the daily dietary. There is
scarcely any fat in the leguminous
foods, SO oil or some fat Is wisely
added.
When green beans, peas and ten
their pods they should be cooked
gently in simmering water, but when
the pods and all are used they should
be boiled rapidly.
When the green peas and beans, etc,
nave grown little old, but must be
cooked, tiny pinch Of soda will
make them tender If added TO the
water they are boiled in and 1t
helps to retain their bright green
color.
All green vegetables should be
cooked in uncovered pans Vegetables
are blanched WHEN cooking to re-
move the strong acrid taste; this
process is sometimes called par
! boiling With very old, strong
favored tuberous vegetables the
water is often changed several times
in the cooking process.
| To boil cabbage or caulifower, Sc
lect small heads of these vegetables,
rather than large ones, as they will
be more delicately favored The
| cabbage should be cut in quarters
and soaked for an hour in salt wa
ter. Have a deep stew pan full of
boiling water and add tablespoon
Of salt. Put In the cabbage and cook
briskly without covering for 80 to
40 minutes according to the age
Of the cabbage. When cooking open
the kitchen windows at the top
and there will be no noticeable
odor. Drain and chop the cabbage
and to every pint of the cooked veg
etable allow teaspoon of butter and
add more salt II it requires it and pep
per to suit taste. Cooked thus. cab
bage will be tender and full of flavor
and will no longer be considered a
coarse vegetable.
When pork is to be cooked with
cabbage put the meat to cook first
and when 1t is commencing to grow
tender add the cabbage.
All the above applies to caulifower,
except the latter is never quartered
when put to cook and It's flavor is so
delicate that the water need not be
change during the cooking The time
Of cooking this lovely vegetable
should never exceed 80 minutes.
1t may be served with very rich
white sauce or with only drawn but

Science Lecturer.

Cultivate Neatness.

Tidiness is one of the most attrac-
tive Of feminine qualities. 1t is also
one Of the rarest. Early and persistent
must be the training which carries
the girl into womanhood with her
bump of neatness" we'll developed.
Unless Inherently fastidious during
school days, she is liable to drift into
careless habits which she never out
grows.
One girl may have trick of leaving
shoes about her room. As child she
was permitted to do this. and as she
grew older the untidy custom was
never abandoned. for the simple rea-
son that she herself did not notice
anything unusual about it, and prob
ably nobody else took the trouble to
correct her. Another slovenly habit is
leaving a bunch of combings in the
comb or on the dressing table. Con-
slant vigilance on woman's part is
necessary in these small matters If
she would be thought really tidy.

Rolled Oats Bread.

Two cups boiling water, one-half

ing water to oats and let stand one
hour: add molasses, salt. butter, dis.
solved yeast cake, and -four; let rise,
beat thoroughly, turn into buttered
bread pans. let rise again. and bake.
BY using one-half cup less flour the
dough is better suited for biscuits, but,
being soft. is difficult to handle. To
make shaping OF biscuits easy, take
up mixture by spoonfuls. drop into

DAlNTIEsT OF TABLE LINEN
Most Elaborate and Expensive Is
That In Use In Partisan
Establishments.

Table linen in Paris today is of the
most elaborate and expensive descrip-
ton Teacloths are made almost en-
tirely of lace composed OF squares
with insertions of finest embroidery,
and serYiettes and napkins must also
match the cloth Another expensive
habit is to have all the crystals in
colored Bohemian cut glass to match
the hue Of the hostess afternoon

At recent reception given by a
society leader harmony OF color was
very successfully carried out. Plates.
glasses and decanters were of pink
cut crystal. while the lady of the house
wore teagown OF rosecolored nous

also preserved in the flowers on the

were everywhere about the room.

at the same time original. The af-

crushed 1t out and buried it from sight

It is impossible to attain 1t. A genu-
