IN BEHALF OF SANITATION.

It is a precautionary word in behalf cf sanitation which Secretary Town send of the s1a1e board of health offers when he warns against the hsphazard HzylnE of building lots because they seem to be cheap. but without giving due thought and consideration to the possibilities of their ever being prop e-ir drained or furnished with a safe supply of water. These are import arr details 10 which little or no thought iE given by the promoters. Their aim fs to dispose Of the property as quick lv and prohtahly as possible and such things as water and sewage must be taken up by the owners in the future
 Sanitation Is of vital importance both for the prevention of disease and the maintenance Of healthy conditions. II is a con stant necessity. not only In sections which are being developed but throughout every city. yet it's value to ths home seekers who are tempted by the cheap building lots Is greater than the new street or sidewalk which often accompany such bargains
 Tn calling attention 10 the lack of this provision a service Is being rem cered 10 community as well as indi- vtsuml The get rich quick schemes of the land promoters are too often dis closed too late but fn the advice of Sec retary Townsend there is timely notice given 10 prospective owners as well as towns where such conditions exist. Whatever lack Of water and sewage facilities may have existed in the past the need Of preventing it today must be Fully apparent.

OBSERVE THE EGG LAW.

Just at this time when the price of eggs is reaching the point where it is distracting attention from the cost
 of beef and making new record it is proper that attenton should be called
 to the enforcement of the law con
 cernlng eggs, It is the declaration of one authority that the high prices are due to the cornering of the egg market Tn the cold storage warehouses. It is also generally known that the hens are not producing as many eggs just now
 as they did some weeks ago and are therefore working in com mbination with the cold storage or to it's advantage, With this situation existing it Is there fore the proper time to see that all the requirements of the cold storage regulations are property observed.
 It is obviously unjust that cold stor- age eggs should be put on the market and disposed of as strictly fresh eggs a the same prices which are obtained for the direct from the hens nest product Even though the custom CTS are willing to pay any such figure for eggs which have been kept some time they should not be deceived as to the exact condition of the eggs which they buy Tn this regard the law is designed to protect the con- sumer. II calls for the marking of cold storage eggs as such and it should be seen that the letter of the law is observed regardless of the price at which they may be sold. Even though the customer is satisfied with the cold storage product he should be given the facts and not be made to believe that he is getting fresh eggs when he is mi

PRISONS ARE IMPROVING

When it comes to getting the real, everyday facts in a prison investiga- ton it must be admitted that the method pursued by the two women in vestisators at Auburn prison. in New ' ork state. was far better than the plan adopted by Thomas Mott Osborne. They entered upon their task without the publicity. either to the officials or the inmates of the prison, which char acterized Afr. Osborne's self imposed term" Thus they were bound to get an insight into prison methods which were not colored and have the best opportunity for studying the rules and regulations Tor the recommendations Of any reforms
 There was nothing so very shocking ln their report of conditions found Like Ar. Osborne they were glad to get out but no tale of shocking cruel ties and inhuman conditions were found. They recommend some inn provenents such as better cooked food sufficient toilet facilities and the cheek ing of misuse of power by attendants. while they found the silence rule and prison life fin general undesirable. vet such only tends to mark the contra st which exists between their mode of life and what might bs expected in peCsl institutions.

A LONG WAY FROM SOLUTION.

The time appears 10 be gradually approaching when Huerta will no longer be the dictator of Mexico. His inability 10 get financial backing is one Of the greatest factors for bring ing about such an accomplishment. His action in setting himself up as die rator and the frequently changed cab inet an indicate the gravity of his po- sition among the loyal subjects of the Mexican government.
 Whas a part CarTanZa. leader of the constitutional forces may vet have in rhe restoration of peace in the rep71f1- lc depends upon the turn of events. The end of H1erta should mean the end of the revolt which he is leading and open the way to the setting up of a stable government to which both the federalists and constitutionaIists would give their united support The cap ture of Juarez by the rebels gives strength to the position of the con stitutional leader. He is showing strength al time when Huerta is displaying weakness personally and in his army
 Even when Huerta has been elirn- mated a crisis still faces the repub- lie There remains not only the uues- rion of his successor. but the great necessity of reuniting this divided country. Whether the necessary con sessions required te establish peace following the withdrawal of Huerta could be accomplished is difficult 10 answer. though with the professed Patriotism from both sides 1t ought not to be Though it would advance it a step the compliance by Huerta with this country's demands doesn't mean tne solution of the Mexican prob lem.

WELL TO KNOW.

Two teaspoonfuls of butter make one ounce. Four tablespoonfuls of flour make one ounce.
 One cup of flour is equal to one pound.
 One cup of butter packed solid equals one half pound.
 One cup of granulated sugar weighs one-haIf pound.
 Five medium eggs without shells make one-half pound, or four with shells weigh one-half pound
 One cup chopped meat packed solid weighs one-half pound
 One cup of milk or water Is equal to One-half pound.
 In nearly every recipe, unless 1t calls for level measure, a tablespoonful or teaspoonful means that the sub stance should rise above the level as much as the spoon rounds under. To measure half a. spoonful divide length wise of the spoon and for a quarter take half of this.

WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN.
BRIDAL ARRAY COSTLY.

Brides all over the world like to make the best display possible on their wedding day, and the bridal attire of the various countries is invariably both costly and beaHtifut For sheer gorgeeusness, however, it would be hard to rival the wedding fnery of the belles of the island of Sumatra@ The dress is woven entirely of gold thread, and it's weight is so great that the wearer can hardly movei even stand ing up requires a distinct effort.
 Apart from this shimmering, golden garment, the bride is loaded down with gold ornaments, rings bangles, ear rings, pendants, girdles and necklaces and sundry ornamental purses of the same metal. The huge ornaments hanging on chains around her neck are hollow, but all the smaller charms are of solid native gold, most massively wrought One might almost think that the natives, having heard something about a good wife being worth her weight in gold had set out to prove the fact by loading their quaint little brides with the actual equivalent ot their weight in the precious metal.

RECIPES.

EegIess Cookies.-Here is a recipe for fine cookies that need no eggs and will keep for weeks in a closed jar. One large cup of butter and lard mix ed, one cupful sugar, one cupful mo- lasses, one half cupful water, one tablespoonful of ginger one of cin- namon, one teaspoonful of cloves, one teaspoonful of soda and flour for stiff dough. Roll thinner than for sugar cookies. Pour over the soda a little boiling water before using it. If your dough is mixed properly, the cookies will be shiny and spicy when done. This recipe will make five dozen.
 Jeilied Chicken-A chicken, one ounce butter. pepper, salt and half packet of gelatin. Boil the chicken slowly until the water is reduced to one pint; pick the meat from the bones in fair sized pieces, removing all gristle, skin and bone.

CLEANING FuRs.

Beaver and sealskins should be clean ed with hot salt.
 White fox fur should be rubbed with equal parts of calcined magnesia and dry flour.
 Clean chinchilla with talcum power, well rubbed into the skin and then shaken out.
 Tibet or angora, white or gray, may be washed in warm, soapy water, but the skin must be carefully stretched during the process of drying to pre- vent cockling. All Things should, of course be removed before the fur is placed in the water
 To clean light colored furs remove the wadding and lining, lay the fur fiat on the table and fasten one end firm ly with drawing pins. Then warm some bran in the oven and rub 1t into the fur, working with a straight movement against the way of the katr. When the bran will absorb no more dirt, remove the pins and shake the garment thoroughly.

FOR PERMANENT GOOD.

Many are the instances when the public is eager to be identified with certain movements which at the mo meut are before the worlds eye, but fails to give only a passing thought to those efforts which are steadily operating Sor the lasting benefit to hu- manity. Where immediate results can be obtained and the benefit of accom- plishment quickly indicated the arous- ing of interest and help is not difficult Much greate undertakings covering a longer period of time for fulfllment of the. purpose are likely to receive a diff ferent response and come to be looked upon as a natural course of events rather than as a matter of. intense inn portance.
 The dedication of a new municipal hospital and sanatorium for the treat ment of tuberculosis at Staten Island marks an event in the opinion of the New York Post more fraught with meaning for permanent good than all telegraph conversations spread abroad during the present year, yet very few citizens have been aware of this mag nifcent public enterprise Such is the fate of much constructive effort in the direction of social progress. IL is all ways more interesting to raise an out cry against evil conditions than to ascertain just what is being done to remedy them. There Is more excite ment in organizing crusades, move ments, leagues, banquets, and other forms of protest than in following up the patient spade-work by which all such popular agitations are sometimes justified and as often made ridiculous"
 Just as 1t is easier to criticise than it is to accomplish just so is it easier 10 tell of the duty which should be carried out without giving time to it's mplishment or learning what is being done in that direction.

TEA COSY.

White linen. embroidered in 2 French and eyelet design, would make a very attractive tea cosy, as it can be kept in immaculate condition. The two sides of the white embroidered cosy should be just alike and joined together with Cluny lace insertion. The linen cover is made over a padded lining, the color of which should be in harmony with the other tea table decorations. Several layers of wad ing should be used. enough to make the cosy serViceable without it being bulky A large crocheted button fastened to the top serves as a handle. IA cosy of white linen would make very attractive gift and is really in dispensabIe for the tea table.

 have been found elsewhere and are generally improving. The change from the prison to the reformatory is neces- sarily a slow process and still it must be realized that while healthful condi- tions must be maintained and efforts used to work upon the best instincts of the prisoner, such institutions can hardly be expected to be clubrooms.

SCARF SLEEVE.

The scarf sleeve is a dainty addition to ,he evening trock. The sleeves, diminutive in length, are formed of chiffon and each continues in a long scarf which is caught loosely in at the waist. The sleeves and scarf ends can be either of the same color as the rest of the gown, or of contrasting figured chiffon if the gown is of plain material.

 per half with large and small pockets to hold letter paper, envelopes, post cards and stamps, with one long mar
