VENUS CAUSES TROUBLE

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 20.-The
latest in trouble-makers is marble
statue of Venus, which is the center
of a court dispute between Dr. C. A.
Nahl and his former sister-in-law.
The statue reposed in the drawing
room of Virgil Nahl and his wife JOS
ephine for 13 years. They were di-
vorced. Later Dr. C. A. Nahl, broth
er of Virgil, claimed the statue from
Josephine, as he was the. original
owner of it. Josephine, however, re-
fused to return it unless paid $135
for the care of the expensive bric-a-
brac. DR.. C. A. Nahl now demands
$1OO for the use and pleasure Joseph
inc has had from the statue.

Strawberries in Desserts.

The strawberry is at its best when
served in the simplest way. 1t has such
a unique, delightful flavor. that il is a
culinary blunder to combine 1t with any
thing that hides it. Strawberry salads
are not only anomalies, but an extrava-
ganee also, for the flavor of the berries
IS wasted. according to tile New York
Tribune
The only kind of strawberry salad
worthy of mention is that delicious con-
coction known by the French as a ina
eedoine," where strawberries are dressed
with whipped cream and combined with
other fruits that assist in either accentu--
ating or absorbing mot hiding) their
unique flavor. bowlful of bananas and
Strawberries mixed together is delicious
when dressed with whipped cream ana
literally sprinkled with cocoanut.
1t is in combination with whipped
cream that the strawberry attains per-
fection. To bring out its full flavor no
other addition is needed. except sugar,
If the fruit is slightly acid. If the ber-
ries that are now in market, which come
from the south, ares prinkied with sugar
and allowed to stand half an hour or
more in a sunny window before serving
they will be melower and more like the
thoroughly ripened fruit that will come
a little later from nearby gardens
The great chefs use this pastoral COM
bination of strawberries and cream as a
foundation for many of their most aris-
tocratic desserts. Strawberry Bavarian
cream and strawberry mousse, for ex-
ample, are used as base for many OF
the elaborate sweets that have graced
the tables of royalty.
Unite the Strawberries with plain lay
ers of the plebian biscuit and one has
the alluring shortcake which has spread
the fame of the American woman as a
cook all over the world. In Toxic ii is
said that an American observation-disclosures
has made a fortune selling real American
strawberry shortcake to the Japanese.
A plain strawberry pie becomes a fes-
tive dessert when ornamented with
whipped cream tinted pink with the
berry juice.
The ordinary cream puffs take on a
festive air when Ornamented with ro-
settle of the rosy eoored whipped cream
and big, fresh berries.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

ings of State Deputy Sealer.

Deputy State Sealer of Weights and
Measures Pennell, is busy Inspecting
the new equipment now being obtained
by. the different towns throughout the
State, in accordance with warning
sent out by State Sealer Roberts, earii-
er in the season. that the law would be
strictly enforced aad all old and use
less standards, which some OF the
towns still had would be condemned.
over 100 towns, few jointly, have
purchased new standards, or parts OF
sets Many of the selectmen of towns
are entirely ignorant of the law, ana
are of the idea that weights ana meas
Ires in q town are not in need of m
spection only once in great while.
Not a long while ago, an incident DEM
anstrated that the selectmen of towns
are usually lax in informing them
selves as to the law. In a little island
town on the coast of Maine the select
men had no standards, and upon belng
informed of the necessity of such,
wrote to the department. that 1t seem
ed a hardship To inf'ict the necessity OF
purchasing u new set of STANDARDS, as
there were only two stores in the town,
and that they would be used only
about once in 10 years. The department
agreed il WAS a hardship to compel the
town to nuy a new set, ana suggested
that some arrangements be mace with Il
nearby mainland town. whereby the
standards could be used Jointly. How
ever the law saws that once every year,
and as often as the town sealer sees IT.
the weights and measures OF a town
shall be inspected.

tho towns are responding readily to the
renlacinc of ola and Worn out stand
