LETTER TO THE CITIZEN

Yerkes, KY, Oct. 2S, 1912.
Editor Citizen,
Dear Sir:
We arrived at Yerkes last night
and are camped beside small stream
with a mountain on both sides of us.
The woods are beautiful with their
autumn tints, and the days are de-
hghtfully bright and refreshing BE-
/ tween the hours of ten and two,
but as soon as the sun begins to
decline 1t grows cold, and the chill
fog covers everything until late in
the morning.
AS we have no way of heating our
tent or wagon We have been obliged
to sleep in some house. and unless it
should warm up. it will soon be nee
essary to abandon camping altogeth-
err for when one is chilled to the
bone it is not easy either to read,
write, study. or sleep, as some of
you have doubtless noticed.
l find that, while Kentucky is sup
posed to possess a warmer climate
than that Of Wisconsin, yet, because
of the exceeding dampness of the
air, people SILVER and hug the fire
down here about as early as they
do in the north. In fact the wealth
er we are now having Is almost exact
ly the same az we have at this
time OF year in the famous grape sec
ton Of Western New York.
Our mectings are most interesting,
for everywhere VIC are greeted by
large and interesting audiences who
seem to drink in the songs and SER
mons, and sit in silent appreciation
as we show and explain our many
beautiful and instructive pictures.

spinach, well cooked. Cook a cup and
half OF tomatoes with two teaspoon
fuls OF sugar. Boil five minutes, add
six eggs beaten slightly. salt and pep
per to taste and pour into an omelet
pan and cook until creamy. Pour over
the spinach and garnish with toasted
bread points Drowned in butter.
Cream cheese softened with cream,
add few tablespoonfuls OF chopped
green pepper, makes a change in serv-
ing cheese, or may be used as sand
witch filling.
Salmon Souffle-Take one can of
salmon, flake and season with salt
and lemon Juice. Cook a half cup of
bread crumbs In one-half cup of milk
ten minutes, add to the salmon with
the yolks of three eggs beaten until
thick; cut and fold in the whites Of
three eggs beaten stiff. Bake in but
tered molds set in water. Serve with
PImento Sauce.-Melt three table
spoonfuls of butter, add three of flour
and stir until we'll blended. then pour
on gradually one cup of milk, a half
cup Of cream and half a cup of canned

Place a thin slice of cream cheese
on saltines, leaving room for the

into the cheese several pecan meats
