Delicious Preserve IS
and Desserts Can Be
Made of Fruit That Is
Neglected B ecause
Few Know of Its Fla
vor, and Which De-
serves to Have Wide
Popularity.

~"HE apricot is hardly appreciated
in America. One reason, per-
haps, for this lack OF appre-
citation IS that in the eastern
part of the country this fruit
is hard to grow and so seldom reaches
the eastern markets in its best condition.
Like all oriental trees-the apricot came
originally, ii is thought, from China, and
was brought from Asia to Europe by
Alexander the Great-it blossoms early.
The treacherous late frosts usual in the
east come along, nip the blossoms and
spoil the fruit.
In spite Of these difficulties, apricots can
be had in markets all over america in
good condition. Its flesh should be sweet
and sound and should give of q pleasant
aroma.
There are many good varieties. per-
haps the best being the Moorpark. Many
of the smaller ard coarser, and therefore
cheaper, sorts are just as good for cook
ing, as the sugar and other ingredients
used with the cooked fruit help to give
1t flavor and fine texture.
For canning only the best fruit should
be used, which is true Of all fruits. That
which Is bruised Is just as good for can
ming as that which Is uubruised. But
only that Of the best flavor and the finest
texture should be canned to be eaten
when fresh fruit is unavailable.
Many persons have q mistaken idea
that second-rate fruit Is quite good
enough for canning. AS a matter Of fact.
we should sort over fruit to be canned
and use that which is not so finely
grained and SO highly favored. for some
cooked dessert to be eaten Immediately.
Next winter when the north wind blows,
the appetite that Graves a bit of sum-
mer tastes will welcome the juciest and
sweetest Of summer fruits, canned though
they be.
Preserved apricots of various kinds
should be generously prepared, for april

Perhaps a net fan does not give quite

this lack because it looks twice as cooling
and refreshing as any other sort Of fan.

they are mixed with plums, tart
peaches. rhubarb or apples

There are several delicious desserts
made with cooked apricots. One of them,
simple enough for children. is apricots
with rice. To make this cook the rice
in a double boiler until each kernel is
dry and fiaky. Drain it and put it in a
pudding dish. Pile it In in dome fashion,
low at the sides and high in the middle.
Stone and halve two dozen ripe april

pour it over the rice. Serve hot. The
pudding dish containing the rice and
apricots can be kept warm in the oven
while the sirup is boiling down.
Apricot toast is another wholesome
dessert. For this dish a dozen ripe april

The Medicinal Value of Fruits and
Vegetables.

a T this season Of the year it is
n especially important to know the
value of fruits and vegetables.
Fruit, to be a good medicine, should be
eaten fresh, as soon as possible after
being gathered, before there has been
time for the medicinal properties to de-
generate or disappear altogether. Much
Of the value of all vegetables depends
upon the way in which they are cooked.
They should not be boiled in salt water,
as this deprives them Of much of their
strength, whereas cooking by steam
preserves their natural strength. That
is why the .lreless cooking process is SO
excellent for cooking vegetables.
II we take for granted all that has been
said about apples in legend or history
it is evident that they have often been
a source Of trouble and discord, but, re-
garded from a medicinal point Of view,
they are among the first of all fruits
in Importance. They have a magic effect
upon the human system, as they con-
tain quantities of water and large
proportion of potash. In the form of
cider they are a sovereign remedy for
gut.

There are some Of us who think that

cause Tony digs with the shovel we give
him until we think he must be on the
outskirts of China we think our theory
of talking to him in his own way Is
good one.
Poor Tony. If ne lived with us. wouio

Helen kellers famous teacher wrote an
interesting letter shortly after she began
to work with the little deaf and blind
girl She said in the letter that she was
spelling whole sentences into little Helen
hand She knew that Helen did not
understand all the words, and when Helen
began to spell sentences back to her they
were disjointed and made up of a few
words roughly joined. But said the
teacher, we talk to babies in sentences
and doubtless they understand many
words months before they are able to use
them.
Miss Keller's teacher proved the wisdom
of her method of teaching. Before long
the little blind girl had unconsciously
picked up the correct formation Of SEN
fences, the proper way to join verbs and
nouns and adverbs and adjectives and all
the other parts of speech to express her
thoughts. II the teacher had gone on
spelling into her hand such disjointed
sentences. as this: "Cat black soft fur. -
Miss Keller would have gone on indefi-
nitely answering in the same sort of dis
jointed way.

Afternoon.

children who, for the last week have
been enjoying the comforts of the sea-
shore at the City Camp at Avon-by-
the-Sea, will return home this after
noon, The party which will leave
the camp about 1854 o'clock is eX-
pected to arrive In this city on the
Central Railroad about quarter to
six o'clock.
But for the opening of the new
school term the vacationists would
have been allowed to remain over
until Monday afternoon.
Today marked the last day of the
season at the camp for the older chill
dren. On Monday the mothers" and
their small children will be taken for
a weeks outing at the shore.
From present plans 1t Is expected
that there will be about seventy
mothers in the party which will leave
the Central Railroad on Monday
morning. Following the visit of this
party the camp will be closed for the
season.
Officials at the camp declared to-
day that this season was the most
successful in the history of the camp.
New playthings, swings and other
forms of recreation were introduced
and proved a great success for the

OSBORNE SAYS HE HAS
FORCED COLBY INTO OPEN

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept g.
Edmund B. Osborne, with George l..
Record, spoke here at two meetings
last night. The Montclair man Is of
the opinion that Colby keeps adding
to his platform FOR the reason that
he has discovered the individuality
of fishing for Progressive votes with
near Progressive bait. Mr.. Osborne's
speech, in part, follows:
IT have been building fires around
Mr.. Colby for six weeks to smoke
him out and compel him to tell the
public where he stands on vital prln-
ciples which he ignored. 1t has been
slow process. Mr.. Colby stuck tn
his tent at first and plainly didn't
intend to come out But the tenn
perature kept rising, the smoke kept
getting thicker, and the tent where
he exhibited his views privately kept
getting more uncomfortable. A few
days ago, after refusing for weeks to
answer my questions, he came out
and announced himself positively in
favor of the initiative and referen-
dunn and the recall of judicial dect-
sions. He also announced that he is
not willing to take away from the
courts the power to issue injunctions
In strike cases."

MORGAN GIVES UP THE
NEW HAVEN RAILROAD

NEW YORK, Sept. 81. P. Morgan
& Co. today notified the New Haven
Railroad that ninety days from date
it would sever its financial relations
with that road.
The notice was given in letter adj
dressed to President Elliott, which
was read at the three-hour meeting
of the executive committee at the
Grand Central station today, and is
one of the most important events in
railroad affairs in years.
A large part of the time was taken
up in a discussion of the Walling-
ford wreck of last Tuesday. 1t was
resolved that President Elliott be in
structed to carry out the provisions
of resolutions adopted on October II.
1912, calling for a searching investi-
cation into the competency of the
engineers employed on the road, that
there shall be no limitation placed
upon the installation of signals and
safety appliances. and that the COM
pany shall purchase only all steel
euuipment in the future.

zAMACONA NOT TO
Be HUERTA ENVOY
Reception Would Not Conflict
With Negotiations of Lind
in Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The dec
laration by FREDERICK Gamboa, Mex
lean foreign minister, that Manuel
Zamacona is coming to the United
States In an unofficial capacity. is
interpreted by officials here as mean
ing that the latter will not be in
vested with power to represent the
Huerta government until the United
States indicates its willingness to re-
ceive him.
The view prevails that to receive
Zamacona would not conflict with the
negotiations being conducted by John
Lind, President Wilson's personal en-
yoy in Meximo. Administration off,
Gals were inclined to the opinion that
If Zamacona were received the par
leys here would supplement those car
ried on by Mr.. Lind.
Gamboas disclaimer that verbal as
surances had been etven to Charge
OShaughnessy that Huerta would
not be a candidate caused no sur
prise here; it is believed the Mexican
officials do not deem 1t the proper
time to make a public announce
ment of Huerta's withdrawal, though
the American government in all its
negotiations is taking that for
granted.
President Wilson went to the golf
links early today. He saw no callers
but occupied himself with a study
of the situation.

donna and promised a world wide

yided he follows out her instructions.
The instructions are that he study
four hours a day and refrain from
singing in public until September,
1914, He has given his consent. and
Yesterday Edward Collins, personal
pianist of Madame -Heink,
came here from Chicago to take
charge of Mcnamara.
The entire city has taken an inter-
est in Mcnamara and in order that
he might complete his studies Mayor
Andrew F. Mcbride, appreciating the
quality of the policemans voice, has
offered to assist him in any way he
can. Consequently, Mcnamara has
been given a post inside and per
mitted to work nights in order tn 1t
he can pursue his studies in daytllh
It was with the idea of continuing
his study of voice culture that Nc
Namara joined the Paterson police
force. Each day he has gone to New
York and put IN q rev hours Will
his teacher. Early this year, when
c. Mortimer Weiske was arranging
the details for the three days music
festival, which is the equal of any
affair of that kind held anywhere N
the country, Mcnamara was given
an engagement. He was asked to
sing two baritone solos. 1t was the
first time his talents had been recog-
nized.
The affair was held in the Fifth
regiment armory and the night Nc
Namara was scheduled to sing 5000
persons jammed themselves into the
drill shed. He was given an ovation
the like of which was never before
accorded a singer in the Silk City,
and that was the night he sang his
way into the heart of Nine. Schu-
mann Heink. She was present at the
performance and was so immensely
pleased that then and there, she says,
she determined to pave the way to
success for him.
Mr.. Collins arrived in Paterson
yesterday and Immediately arranged
with Mcnamara for their study
hours. Madame Schumann-Heink, 1t
is said, plans to hear her protege each
week and coach him in the numbers
she expects to feature him in on their
globe embracing tour.
