Date Cookies-One cup Of sugar,
half cup Of butter, half a teaspoon
full of baking powder, two cups of
flour, yolk of one egg, cupful of
chopped dates and enough milk to
moisten. Cream butter and sugar to-
gether and add the egg yolk beaten
in a little milk; sift the flour and
baking powder together; add the
dates to the moist ingredients, with
the flour; mix well; add more milk if
the dough is too stiff to roll out.
Roll and cut the thin cookies and
bake in moderately hot oven.
Dried Apricots and Peaches-Pick
over the dried fruit, removing all i'm
perfect ones. For one pound, divide
in half and put half a pound into each
of two-quart self-sealing jars. Put
into sauce pan two quarts of water
and and two cupfuls Of sugar. Pour
this, when 1t has boiled few min
utes, over the fruit in the jars, using
it boiling hot. Screw down the lids
tight, and set away for day or two;
then open the jars and drain the syrup
off and boil again, and pour boiling
hot over the fruit, sealing as before.
After several days, they should be
ready for the table, tender, fine-flav-
ored and fine colored. Change the
syrup on them until they are tender.
If the windows stick, drop a little
powdered black lead from a paper
funnel down between the sash and

the window will move perfectly easy.
The black lead will also make the
door hinges work smooth, and stop
caeaking.

seeing who is elected, the interests
would not have such an easy time of
| it.
1t is only "a few years since straw
was burned to get it out of the way
and the corn binder was almost un-
known. There may be few who
wish for these good old, easy-going
times and practice them as far as
possible, but their homes do not bear
the signs of prosperity.
The question of making our roads
narrower is still being debated, and
as usual both sides have some good
points. If the narrow road would
bring wider and better grade with
no weeds growing along the sides it
would be an Improvement in many
localities.
Railroad companies spend a great
many dollars every fall in burning
weeds along the tracks in order to
prevent the waste of many more dol
lars by having snow blockades in the
winter. Would it not be a good plan
to pick up few pointers on road
making from them? Road making is
their business.
Some long-distance prophets are
saying that ten years from now all

Recipes.
The Commnner.
For Caramel Frosting-Take three
cupfuls of coffee C sugar and one
cupful of rich milk or cream, with
one hcaping tablespoonful of butter.
Put into granite saucepan and boil
without stirring until when dropped
in cold water it is hard enough to be
waxy; stir it only on the bottom to
keep from scorching, then set the
saucepan in cold water, and as it
cools spread it on the cake, as it will
harden very quickly. This is recon-
mended.
Jellied Prunes-Stew a dozen good
sized prunes and allow them to get
cold; take the pits out. Stew them
just long enough to have them tender.
Blanch dozen almond kernels and
brown them in the oven and put one
in each prune. Dissolve half a cup
full of gelatine in water enough to
cover it. Heat the juice the prunes
were boiled in, measure out one pint
and pour boiling hot overthe gelatine,
add half cup Of sugar and the juice
of three lemons, strain it and pour
over the prunes. Put into mold to
harden. Serve with whipped cream.
Salmon Loaf-Open and drain the
liquor from a can of salmon, turn the
fish out and mince finely; mix with
it one tablespoonful of butter, one
half cup of bread crumbs, a saltspoon-
full of salt, little pepper and two
eggs beaten very light. Mix we'll
together and put into a buttered mold
or pan and set the pan in another pan
of boiling water; cover the pan that
holds the fish closely and set in the
oven; cook for one hour, replenish-
ing the water in the lower pan as it
boils away. For sauce to eat with
the loaf, heat one cup of sweet milk,
beat one egg into it, some of the
liquor poured from the can of fish,
salt and pepper, and let come to a
boil, over the water. Chop parsley
very fine and put spoonful into the
sauce, and pour it over and around
the portions of loaf when served.
Quantity of Refreshments to Serve
Allow one quart of oysters to every
four persons; for one hundred guests,
allow twenty-five quarts.
Six large chickens and eighteen
large heads of celery for sixty guests.
Three gallons of ice cream for sixty
guests. One quart of ice cream
makes six portions.
One hundred and twenty sand
wiches for 100 guests. About one
and one-half pounds of butter will
scantly cover the sandwiches.
One quart of soup makes six por-
tons; one quart of salad makes eight
portions. One gallon of beverage
makes twenty-four portions.
For making sweet chocolate for
coating candies, use the unsweetened
to every half pound, when
melted add sufficient confectioner's
yranulated sugar to make it the de-
sired sweetness. The chocolate
should be shaved into cup or dish
and set in pan of hot water until
melted, no water being added to the
chocolate.
Southern Spoon Bread-Into pint
If nice sour milk break one egg.
Sift together into the sour milk one
leaped teacupful Of white corn meal,
lalf teaspoonful of salt and a half
of soda and beat thorough
y together. Have a well creased
'an, holding a quart, on the stove
,eating, and when very hot pour the
'atter into it and put into a very hot
wen. II should be done a delicate
,rown in fifteen minutes, and must
,e served at once.

Strike in Hotels Tonight.

y strike of thousands of walters, cooks.
kitchen workers and elevator runners in
the big hotels of the city has been set for
tonight. New Year eve, by the 1nterna-
tional Hotel Workers Union. The hotel
managers deride the idea, and say there
will be no difficulty in handling the
throngs which will watch the old year
out.
The announcement that there would be
a strike followed an all-night meeting of
the unions officers, and was entirely un-
expected by the hotel managers. Accord
ing to union officials, several big hotels
have already agreed to meet the walters
demands.
Although members of the Hotel Men S
Association thought there would be no
strike, hurried meeting of the organi-
zation was called to frame eleventh-hour
plans to meet possible emergency.
1t has been estimated that New Workers
spend a million dollars in feasting New
Year eve.
According to representatives of the union
it is planned to extend the strike tonight
to hotels and restaurants in Philadelphia,
Albany. Rochester, Syracuse, New Haven,
Hartford and other cities.

Although the union claims that it has
slowly but surely enrolled practically all
of the colored walters in it's ranks, a
strike of the colOred men tonight, as
stated is not looked for. Some of the
walters are of the opinion that the first

they say, will not be repeated
