FOR BREAKFAST TABLE
APPETIZING TIT-BITS THAT ALL

Rice Rorridge the Children Eat With

Have Plquaney Of Flavor.

Rice Porridge.-Place one-half
pound OF rice into three quarts of boil
ing water, and let 1t stand until the
rice has softened into jelly. Add to
this quarter pound of oatmeal, mixed
with water, and stir It well In. Add
also about an ounce Of finely chopped
onion, one-half ounce of bacon fat or
butter, salt and pepper to taste, and
boil all together in a double boiler.
stirring every little while until done.
II desired. the quantity of oatmeal
may be larger. This porridge Will be
found to be an agreeable change from
the usual ones, and children who have
tired of the plain oatmeal or rice
usually take to 1t with zest.
Real French Muffins.-Put an ounce
Of butter In a saucepan with half a
pint of milk and warm slowly. Beat
four eggs until they are frothy and
add them to the milk. To this mix
ture add a medium sized cake OF yeast
which has been dissolved in warm wa
ter and then stir in very gradually a
quart of -four. Butter well the mufnn
pans, pour each about half full and
set in warm place to rise. When
well risen bake lightly in a modern
oven. An appetizing method to serve
is to pull them apart while they are
very hot, place a generous piece OF
butter in each and put on the table at
once. Never cut them, as to do so
makes them heavy.
Lemon Biscuits.-Into three and a
half pounds of -four rub one pound OF
butter, mix in one and half cupfuls
of sugar, and when the whole is abso-
mtely smooth add eight drops of lemon
essence, a teacupful of honey, water
and sufficient milk to form a thick
dough. After breaking the dough
smooth, divide it into pieces about the
size of a walnut, flatten, and cut out
with a biscuit cutter. and bake till
lightly colored in a moderate oven
Serve cold, when they are delicious
and keep in a tin canister.

Hnutchn Annie Pie.

Line pie dish with good paste and
I'LL dish with sliced tart apples. Blend
one teaspoonful of -four and a little
cinnamon with one cupful of sugar
and pour over apples, together with a
few drops of rose lavoring, If liked.
Over all pour three-quarters of cup
full of thick cream, either sweet or
only slightly secured. Bake with one
crust only and serve while fresh. This
is a particularly delicious member of
the apple pie family.

Best Shape for Pots and Pans.

When we used the old form of coal
fuel extensively, we also used the old
form of deep iron kettle which set
down in the embers. Our modern
fuels of gas, electricity and alcohol are
distributed by a broad, fat burner,
and the radiating surface is broad, not
deep. Therefore the old high style of
pot or kettle is very inefficient on our
new stoves or heating surfaces. Moth
ing could be worse than to use tall
coffee pot on a gas range, If we wish
to save gas. The best shape for the
new fuels is the broad, shallow vessel,
as seen best in the familiar egg poach-
er. For boiling and steaming the pans
should be broad and shallow.

NEW ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF NAVY

For the second time New YORK
state furnishes a Roosevelt as assist
ant secretary Of the navy. The Illus
uious Theodore served in that capa'
city under Mckinley. and now his
cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt but
sturdy Democrat. has been appointed
TO the same post.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Is fighter

that Of our ex-president. The spring
box and the deceitful dik-dik need not
fear him, and 1t is unlikely that he
win ever lead a charge up San Juan
hill or any other hill. The biggest

ever attacked was the Tammany

A trained eye can measure the
most tenuous flms by watching the

green means that the film Is twenty
millionths OF an inch thick. Varying
colors mean varying thicknesses.

French DESIGNS In Lamps.

Some of the old French. designs in
porcelain lamps fitted for electric light
are very quaint and original. The
shades are carried out in the same
patterns and colors and are hand
painted on silk or gauze, according to
the style. Some have porcelain shades.
The shades are charming and are quite
a change from the ordinary style.

SUFFRAGISTS AND
ANTI-SUFFRACISTS

The fundamental principle
of our Republic is this: In
deciding what is to be done,
Where eUeryb0dy's interests
are concerned, we take every
body's opinions and then de-
eide according to the wish
of the majority as expressed
through the casting of votes.
In getting at the wish of the
majority certain persons, whose
opinions evidently are not worth
counting, are passed over.
In Maryland these persons are
idiots. lunatics, criminals (not
pardoned) and tUOnien.
Maryland Sufsragists believe women's
opinions are worth counting and want
TO be promoted from class made up OF
the ofseourings Of the earth TO the dig
nifty Of citizenship.
i.Suffragists are not only willing
TO be ranked politically with the cursed
and degraded. but publicly plead and
petition against promotion. They do
not want their own opinions counted
and they are cndeavoring to prevent
other women's opinions from being
counted.
