PIN IN LIVER 20 YEARS: DIES
Operation Apparently Successful, But
Brooklyn Girls Strength Falls
First Case Of Kind.

New York-Miss Kathryn Roche,
Brooklyn, died in the Prospect Heights
hospital, and a surgical examination
into the cause of her mysterious Ill
ness revealed the fact that for 20
years small pin had been in her
liver
No similar case has ever come to
the knowledge of New York surgeons.
Twenty years ago Miss Roche was
taken to Seney hospital. It was then
thought that she was suffering from
an ordinary stomach malady and the
doctors sent her home. A recent op'
Grafton was apparently successful, but
the vitality of the patient was not
sufficient to carry her through the
reactiopary period.

ordered the property turned over to
the heiress, but before this was done
a new complication arose.
Miss Wilkins fell in love with a
handsome captain In the German

that the wooer was after her fortune
IN vain did the girl plead that she

the property in Baltimore so that the
captain would not be able to get hold

The captain proved a good husband
and he won his mother-in-law, who
subsequently married a general, and

OVEN HEAT NOT THE BEST
Hot Water Should Be Employed When
Necessity Arises to Keep Pre-
pared Food Warm.

To keep food warm is a very impor-
tant detail, to which sufficient atten-
ton is not paid. First of all. food
should never be put into the oven to
keep warm. This is a common prac-
tice and bad one The kind of heat
to which the article of food is subject
ed tends to dry the surfaces, some
times to a leather, sometimes to a
crisp. This spoils the flavor and
renders the dish unappetizing.
There is but one right way to keep
warm. Put it upon a dish, plate, or
bowl, according to it's consistency;
cover it closely with an inverted bowl,
dish, or plate; make it as alright as
possible. Half fill with boiling water
a pot or saucepan, into the top Of
which the vessel containing the food
will fit; set it back on the stove where
the water will be kept at boiling point,
place the dish or bowl under it, and
leave until required.
If this suggestion is followed, it will
be found that most dishes can be kept
for while without losing caste.
Croquettes and all fried foods are
the exception. BY standing they be.
come limp and soggy. If they cannot
be fried at the last moment, they may
be kept hot short time in the front
of an open oven.

GOO III NClIEON IDEAS.
RECIPES cuLLED FROM VERY OLD
COOK BOOK.
Method OF Carrying Cold Meats When
Travelling IL Worth Keeping Ia
the MISUNDERSTANDING on
.. the Sandwich. Il.

The needs Of travellers, people at pic
mics, or cut door parties, church sup
pers. ETC., have been provided for by
the makers Of cook books for several
centuries back. Recently in splendid
and sensible old book. published in
1880. Is found an idea in. reference
to q nice means of carrying cold
meats when travelling that is worth re-
membering.
/ 1t, instead of the loaves mentioned,
small rolls were used, the inside but
tered before they were filed with a
dainty minced meat, we should have a
variation Of the sandwich. The follow
Ing Is the recipe in question:
travelling Loaves-Take chickens
or pullets, pheasants, or cartridges, or
rabbits, and a neck of mutton or
lamb, and roast it of cold, and cut
your fowl in joints and your mutton
into outlets; take large French loaves
OF three pence apiece, or other bread:
cut a hole in the top and scoop out
the most part of the crumbs. You
may put fowl into one loaf, mutton or
lamb into another, a salad mogundy
into another, and sliced ham and
tongue into another, putting a little
salt In a paper with your fresh meat,
and as you travel you may eat any
where on the road in your coach
without staying by the way"
The author of this recipe had served
az cook for lords on "splendid embas-
s1es," for earls and barons, and for
great generals sent into Spain and
elsewhere to command. He thus had
ample experience in preparing food
for travelling expeditions.
The next recipe is somewhat ram
bling. 1t was written out for GER
tain pastors wife when her husband
changed from one charge to another.
She vouches for the excellence of
the meat so prepared in a large
quantity.
Pressed Fresh Meat-Take the low
er end of the shin for the sake Of the
jelly and the lower part of the round
for the solid meat. Boil the two to-
gether slowly until the meat drops OF
the bone. Then chop the meat, but
not very fine, and add salt and pep
per and powdered sage, seasoning to
taste. Add the liquor left in the ket-
tie to the chopped meat and stir we'll:
then pack the meat in small bread
pans to cool. 1t will harden and be
solid without any weight upon It to
press it. For large quantity you will
need the entire shin If you are to
have plenty of liquor to add to the
meat, say quart or three pints, &C.
cording to the amount of meat. You
may think this amount will make It
too soft, but it will not. The fat
may need to be skinned from the
liquor If much rises"

were issued, but there were only four
arrests. All the others had naturally
used the six months delay to vanish.
The United States at this period
was actively urging Peru to realize
the reforms. Strong representations
made In February, 1912, met with
general professions of good intentions
by the president of Peru, but the gov
eminent Of that country sought new
delay by appointing new commits
sion to reorganize the administration
of the Putumayo district, with orders
to report on June %, 1912. The COM
mission, however, was stillborn. the
members refusing to serve. For this
reason the patience of the American
and British governments finally was
exhausted and they decided to appeal
to the public sentiment of the world
through the publication of Sir Roger
Easements reports.

Old Methods of Rubber Gather.
ing Cost Many Lives.
Peru Failed to Keep Promises Made
Second Paper by Sir Roger Case
ment Shows Appeals for Re.
form Have Been Ignored.

London. "A sensational second
chapter in the expose by Sir
Roger Easement, the British con-
sul-general at Rio Janeiro, who
was sent by the British govern
ment to the Amazon to investigate
stories of outrages on natives In the
rubber district, came out recently In
the shape of a supplementary report
to the foreign Office, which shows that
there has been practically total fall
ure on the part of the Peruvian gov
eminent to respond to the demand for
a reform of the rubber atrocities In
the Putumayo district, says London
cable.
A mass of official correspondence,
which also was filed, completes the
story and indicates generally the cor
dial cooperation of the state depart
ment at Washington with the British
foreign Office to secure remedy for
the abuses.
The second Easement report indi-
Gates that Peru not only did nothing,
but seemed to have no intention OF
taking any action. All the measures
taken by that government were dila-
tory and feeble and wholly ineffective.
None of the reforms promised by
Peru, according to Sir Rogers report,
has been carried out. The civilized
methods of the plantation have been
abandoned and the old rubber COL
lecting methods resumed. The re-
turns show that the 10000 tons. of
rubber collected in IL years pro-
duced from $5,oo0,ooo to $7,5oo,ooo
and entailed the death of 10000 In
dams, whose bones are scattered
through the forest and have made GER
tain places resemble battlefields.
The responsibility for this, accord
ing to Sir Roger, Is strictly British,
as the whole output Of the region Is
placed on the English market and con-
veyed from Iquitos in British bottoms.
Some employers are British subjects
and the commercial future of the dis
trict is dependent on British capital.
In July Sir Edward Grey, after So
liciting the cooperation Of the United
States, pressed Peru harder not only
to punish the criminals, but to enact
legislation making slavery criminal
offense. The president of Peru was
reminded of his treaty obligations to
Great Britain and was also urged to
establish a religious mission in the
Putumayo district, with headquarters
in Iquitos, with government backing
and substantial subsidy.
Just about this time the United
States stepped in and brought pres.
sure to bear on Peru. On June IS,

I'm The FARM KIT CHEN
GENERALLY TOO MANY THINGS

For Correct Results In Bread Making,
for Example, Temperature Should
Be Gagged AccurateIy-Use
Of tho Thermometer.

In the modern up-to-date bakery
the thermometer controls the working
OF the plant, water, flour. dough. fer
menting room and oven. The tenn
perature Is gagged accurately so as to
produce the correct results. Every
move is dependent upon the thermom-
eter.
In the olden days and even yet.
where old-fashioned methods prevail,
the thumb Of the baker was the guide
as to temperature of water, -four,
dough and oven. In the home the
word "tepid" covers the ground, each
woman to decide for herself what
may be tepid or otherwise.
No dairyman would think Of con-
Quoting his business without a dairy
ing thermometer, and this same ther-
mometer, costing from rs to 30 cents,
should be in every woman's kitchen
who pretends to be good bread
maker and who wants ner bread the
same every time.
Making bread by rule Of thumb IN
the kitchen is the cause of much OF
the bad luck" you head discussed
and why this baking was SO much
poorer than the last.
There need be no guess work about
how hot your dough will be If a SIM
pie rule be followed. Let US presume
you wish to set your dough at 80 de-
grees F. by the thermometer. You
ascertain the temperature OF the
room, then place the thermometer In
the -four you are to use for a minute
and that tells how warm it is. Let US
suppose your kitchen is 70 degrees F.
and your -four 70 degrees. Now, how
hot should the added water and milk
be to bring the dough up to 80 de-
grees? Multiply 80 by three and that
gives you 270 degree. Add the flour
and room temperature together and
you get 40. You heat your liquid to
100 degrees by the thermometer and
test your dough and you will find 1t Is
close to 80 degrees, the temperature
required. Room 10, flour 70, water $50,
total up to 270.
It is said that the insane asylums Of
the northwest are harboring more
farmers wives than any other class Of
women; overwork because of lack OF
kitchen and domestic facilities gener-
ally, and many other reasons. not the
least Of which is worry, worry, worry!
How much has the making OF the
daily loaf to do with this worry? What
effect has the chilling of the sponge
or dough and perhaps the subsequent
souring of the dough and no bread for
meal or two on the table, unless
baking powder biscuits are made,
upon the nerves of an overburdened,
overworked housewife with farm help
to feed and a horde Of husky, hungry
children?
