BrLLs-oF-FARE coNTRAsTED.


 Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: I was so much interested in read ing the Visit to the Insane Hospital, concluded I would try my hand at writing. Frozen gave a correct ac- count of that splendid institution. But give you facts how they feed the pa ttents, what food they get through the week, also, supervisors, attendants, nurses, etc., have.
 1t may be interesting for you to know a thing or two, and this article before I get through may open some outsiders eyes to truth. Now we will start with the patients:
 Sunday morning: Baked beans, brown bread (can't cut it with an axe). coffee, not 75 cents ID. (cheap, I guess.)
 Dinner: Baked beans, bread, butter. (what is called by you and I oleo- n1argarine) and mince pie for a change, tea Ca good deal like the cof- feel.
 Supper: Bread. butter. prune sauce, and you have to fish for a prune; tea.
 Monday morning: Oat meal, on some wards: bean soup on others; bread, butter and coffee.
 Dinner: Rice soup, bread, butter and tea.
 Supper: Cold rice. on some wards, soup on others, with bread. butter and tea.
 Tuesday morning: Pea soup, bread, butter, coffee.
 Dinner: Barley soup bread, butter, tea. Supper: Prune sauce, bread butter, tea.
 have seen about two quarts taken out for twenty mine men. How far do you think it would go? That's a question for you to answer.
 Wednesday morning: Oatmeal bread, butter. coffee.
 Dinner: Fish chowder bread but
 Supper: Dry toast, tea (the toast was four days old to my knowledge).
 Thursday morning: Baked beans and brown bread, coffee.
 Dinner: Roast beef. potatoes. bread, butter, tea.
 Supper Biscuit, butter and tea.
 Friday morning: Bean soup, bread, butter. coffee.
 Dinner: Mackerel and potatoes, bread. butter, tea. Supper: Dry toast and tea. Saturday morning: Pea soup. bread, butter, coffee.
 Dinner: Barley soup, bread. butter, tea.
 Supper: Dry toast, and tea.
 They hardly know a change from one week to another in food. Men go out to work on the farm with nothing more to stand by them than soup and oatmeal If you will follow me now, we will see what the supervisors and em- ployes have for the week: Sunday mornings; Baked beans, brown bread. cold meat. bread, butter, tea and coffee.
 Dinner: Boiled mutton, or lamb, mashed potatoes, can corn for side dish, apple. or mince pie, tea Supper: Apple sauce cold meat, baked potatoes, cake, bread, butter tea and cocoa. Monday morning: Oatmeal. cold meat. potatoes. tea, coffee, bread and butter Dinner: Boiled corned beef. mashed potatoes, bean soup, rice pudding, 1 Cbeets as side dish). bread butter, tea. Supper. Vegetable soup, baked ap- pIes, bread, butter, gingerbread. tea and cocoa.
 Tuesday morning: Oatmeal baked i potatoes. cold ham, boiled eggs, bread, butter, tea and coffee Dinner: Corn soup, roast beef, mash l ed potatoes, cottage pudding, (turnips, | side dish), bread butter, tea Supper: Johnnycake, baked potatoes,

 The water that was drained off I sweetened to taste. Perhaps it will bear a little more water.

Pour into a mould We had this for Sundays des- sert. I placed a row of sliced bananas around each dish and sprinkled nut meats over all and served it with cream. It was delicious. If there had not been enough rhubarb juice to flavor it I should have added some lemon juice. Of course it depends on how much you cook. I know I shall not throw the juice away. as I used to do as there are several ways I want to try it.

Talk,

The Washington Heralds course oi
lectures on cooking, being delivered every
afternoon this week by Mrs. Helen
Armstrong Ruggles at National Rifles
Armory. are nearly at their climax OF
interest.
The lectures this afternoon and to-
morrow afternoon will conclude the
course. and tomorrow afternoon brings
also the decision of the cooking con-
test and the award of prizes.
The many women who crowded into
the hall yesterday to see the exhibits
and hear the lectures expressed the
keenest interest in the contest. in which
most OF them probably will take part.
Aside from the value of the prizes
the desire to try out their skill under
the guidance OF Mrs. Ruggles Is spur
ring many of them on to the competition.
For the award OF the prizes to-mor-
row a committee from the Associated
Charities, will act as Judges. After max
ing the awards. they will sell the samples
of cookery entered in the contest The
proceeds will be given to the Associated
Charities.
AS usual the hall will be open from
noon to 6 o'clock this afternoon. The

juices In the filing are inclined to soak
the crust and make II soggy and In
digestible, II the pie stands very long
after 1t has been put together.
The idea OF n pan of water on the bot
tom OF the oven while the baking OF the
loaf cake is in progress proved novel TO
many women.
Though the course is by no means over.
people are already beginning to lament
that II is so short. Certainly, those who
have made II a point OF attending every
day.. received tremendous benefit and
would be eager for another week or
more of the lessons II II were possible.
II is safe to say, however, that the re-
suits of the course are more far-reach-
ing than any one realizes as yet, because
general principles make just as valuable
a foundation In cooking as in arithmetic,
and once sure of these first things. 1t is
possible to go on from one success to
another. trusting to the solid foundation
gained in the first lessons.
The question OF materials. of mixing. of
baking after the crust Is put together,
and of filing for the crusts when the
shell has been baked, formed the chief
topic OF the lesson.
Materials should BE Cold.
See that all the materials used in the
making OF pie pastry are cold, handle the
materials lightly and make the pastry
quickly. and you have mastered the
principal secrets of good pie crust" says
Mrs. Ruggles.
Il don't think any pie. except a mincs
pie, is fit to eat the day after It is

sprinkling OF business and professional
women and an interesting array of pretty
young brides. Milliners, stenographers,

society girls, and school girls, as well as
the exemplary housekeeper, make up
these gatherings, that SO decidedly en-
phasize woman's inherent love of home
and all thereto related. A number of
very elderly women have attended the
series OF cooking lessons. It would seem
that after so many years of household
work their interest In cooking would
wane-that a new method would fail to
attract them. but 1t is not SO for they

the talk of the teacher.

The most valuable thing about Mrs

that they are far-reaching.

AN OFFICE ROR WONrEN

A suggestion emanating from To-
peka and said to come from a promi-
nent state official is to the effect
that the women are TO be given one
and possibly two places on the demo-
cratic state ticket next year. 1t Is
not the province of any state official,
even a prominent" one, TO assume
to speak for the rank and file OF
democracy in such positive terms,
for neither he nor anyone else knows
what the democrats will do in the
primary next year. However. the
suggestion that the women voters
should be thus recognized Is a good
one and there is reason to believe
that democratic voters will favor
such action.
Women have long been recognized
in Kansas in the matter of Office
hOlding--were so recognized even
before the universal suffrage was ex-
tended to them. Women county su-
perintendents by the dozen and
scores have been elected, women
county clerks and clerks of court,
and women county treasurers, while
the county offices are filled with wo-
men deputies ana there have been
many women hlling the difficult post
of court stenographer The proposal
now that women be given a place on
the state ticket should not occasion
surprise, for 1t is the thing to be ex-
pected.
The post of state superintendent of
schools is peculiarly adapted to wo-
mans incumbency. The democratic
party will act wisely to agree by
common consent that some woman
shall have this post OH the next
democratic state ticket. There are
hundreds of women IN Kansas fitted
for this place and the energetic wo.
man who will get out and he candi.

BOUND OVER TO DISTRICT

The preliminary trial of Mrs. Hag-
gerty, charged with keeping a house
of prostitution and fornication and
where same is practlced and permit,
ted, was heard behind closed doors
last Friday before Justice of the
Peace Ray Millman, and the lady
bound over to the District court on
q $500 bond, which she gave. The
State produced evidence by three
witnesses that seemed to warrant the
case being held in the district court.
The girl, Mary Suiter, who seems to
be the star witness for the state in
the case, is bound over as witness
and ts in jail, not accused or con-
yicted of any crime, but that she may
have a place to stay until the trial
comes up in the next regular term
OF court.
The defendant objected to the
trial in Justice court being private
and II Is the general opinion that
should the case be won by the state
II will be carried to the higher courts
on the ground that the method of
conducting was not constitutional. A
letter from the attorney general
holds that a justice of the peace can
legally conduct private preliminaries.
The preliminary OF Luther Cox.
charged with intent to kill Robt Hall,
was heard Tuesday before Justice
Ray Nlillman and the accused bound

There is an old saying that 'Fis-

and that is the trouble with the TEL
low who writes this dope for the

between the appropriations OF ~ 3
and 1911. he added the reappropria-
tions to the direct appropriations IN
1913. but purposely omitted to add
the reappropriated items in 1911 to
the direst appropriations of that

re-appropriated unexpended balances

these to the direct appropriations for
