good cooks think the flavor of the po-
tato is better if boiled in its skin.
Spinach should be picked carefully,
piece by piece, then be washed in at
least three waters. If gritty, it is
ruined. After cooking until tender, drain
in colander and press out all the ex-
ira water. Dress with hot butter, salt
and pepper.
Green corn must be carefully husked
and every particle Of silk removed. 1t
should not be washed, and may be cooked
with or without husks. 1t takes about
ten minutes. No salt is added. Corn
should be eaten the day it is pulled.
All vegetables should be carefully
drained after boiling before the dress.
ing is added If potatoes are stood in
the oven in colander after draining.
they are much drier and more mealy.
A tablespoonful of sugar added to
peas improves the flavor, SO does a tea.
spoonful of chopped mint.
Most vegetables are better dressed
with nothing but hot butter well sea-
soned or drawn butter. White sauces,
milk or vinegar ruin the natural taste
OF the vegetables.
Tomatoes should have boiling water
poured over them, then be peeled at once.
No matter how prepared, the tomato
requires q long time to cook not to have
a raw taste Little water is needed. as

ALONG BIG DITCH
Slides Showing Unusual Activity, But
the Engineers Are Not
Alarmed.

Washington, Feb. 22.--More than
100000 cubic yards of earth and rock
are in motion along the Panama canal,
and the slides are showing more than
usual activity.
This was the information received
from the canal zone yesterday In addi-
ton to the slides, which will involve
additional work before the water is
turned into the canal, there still remain
about 100000 yards Of excavation be-
fore the work is completed.

tury. the cat was tortured on the eve
OF st. John and at other times by an
ignorant and cruel people. But gradu-
ally, by the power of her caressng ten
derness and grateful attachment of her
friends, she won place among men,
and the object OF the veneration of an
cient Egypt insinuated herself into the
intimacy of writer's. thinkers, women,
artists, and people of critical tastes.
Her silence and the grave and insistent
persuasivenes with which she imposes
her society upon the companions of her
choice attract and hold the people of all
countries. In the eighteenth and nine
teenth centuries the rehabilitated cat en-
tered literature under the auspices of all
the writers.
Apart from rare exceptions, due TO
natural antipathy, the prediction of
writer's for cats is general Every real
literary man has his familiar cat rolled
in a ball, pursuing his flying pen with
wary eye or following it with light and
discreet side pats.
The eat is not traitor. In some
cases she is even more faithful than the
dog. Affection for her friends is instinc-
tive. and so also are her neatness. her
coquetry and her modesty. In all wealth
ers and in all company she cleans her
fur and her face. A trained cat prefers
to make her toilet before a mirror.
Mans love for his cat is free from
snobbery. The Persian cat, the cat Of
China. or the tailless Manx may be the
object OF our admiration or our astonish-
ment; the common cat of our own
household is the object of our love.
Camo-ens was too poor to buy
candle; he had no light but the luminous
eyes of his cat on the night when he
wrote his chant Of the Lusiad. Idle
ness and agility dwell together under
the velvet pelt of the cat; and her
savage atavism is linked with gracious
and grateful civlity. Her ways are
strange and contradictory. She creeps
through the night like a shadow. springs
from the darkness a. IL electrified. and
lies in the torrid heat like a worshiper

Taking Care of the Feet.

Women who spend hours caring for
their hands pay little attention to their
! feet. They are such hardworked mem
bers of the body that they deserve bet
ter treatment.
! Feet are best kept in condition by
shoes that fit. Never economic in shoe
leather, and do not yield to vanity and
get footgear that is too small.
Frequent bathing keeps the feet from
being tired and swollen, and it prevents
roughness of the skin that leads to cal
lous spots.
soda has been dissolved is restful. Hot
salt water is equally refreshing, while
a vigorous rubbing with alcohol will
quickly relieve burning sensation.
Pumicestone used frequently, keeps
the skin smooth. 1t is especially nee
essary on the heel and on the ball of
the foot, where the weight of the body
rests in walking.
Never cut the nails too short, as
they are more likely to become ingrown
And file them smooth with sandpaper,
so they will not catch and pull the
threads of your stockings. Il
Occasionally visit ehiropoodist. He
will detect any irregularity in the growth
OF nails, and money and pain are saved.
And remember that ones disposition
is quickly affected by painful feet.
Best Way to Cook Vegetables.
Cook green vegetables rapidly in salt
ed boiling water, the length of time diff
fering according to the vegetable used. |
Use as little water as will keep from |
burning. This keeps more of the flavor |
in the vegetables. Just enough to cover |
is good rule If it boils away too |
rapidly, add more boiling water.
If peas, beans, spinach, asparagus,
Brussels sprouts are cooked in a copper
lined kettle. the vivid color is better pre-
served. Cabbage and caulifiower should
De boiled in pot without a lid and
he water should be changed three times,
llso in cooking onions. This removes
much of the rank taste. pinch of
oda may be added to the water.
The water in which vegetables are
cooked should not be thrown out but
Used in making of stocks, to which i
lives a better flavor The tops of salad
vegetables and ends of asparagus may
'e used in the same way.
Preparation of vegetables is impor-
ant, SAYS the Kansas City Times. New
r buy wilted ones, as the flavor is far
etter if used the day they are cut.
When slightly wilted, soak in cold wa j
er. Onions, cabbage and cauliilower II ]
oaked for an hour before cooking, are
iuch less Objectionable in odor.
Peas and beans should be shelled and
trung then washed very quickly. The !
Did water if allowed TO act long upon
hem removes much OF the nutritious
ualities.
Carrots, turnips, potatoes and par
hips should be well scrubbed before :
repairing. Keep special vegetable
rush for them. Care must b. taken :

FRAMING UP PROGRAM
FOR PHOENIX RACE

| Once more it is planned to have a
and San Diego and Los Angeles will
probably both be parties to it. The san
Diego Union says of the proposal:
What's a dollar? Not much when
you are clipping coupons, but quite a
sum when you are "beanleSs." Yet a
dollar is small sum for person to
pay for a days amusement and for
that reason il is believed that when San
Diegans are asked to contribute a dol
lar for opportunity to view great road
road race through the city and county
it is believed that they will do so
cheerfully.
Again the auto race fever is permeat-
ing San Diego and combined with the
| good roads movement spells success
| ful enterprise. George Purdy Bullard
attorney general of Arizona and repre-
| sentative of the American Automobile
Association, is here. Bullard asks thai
san Diego raise $1,000 which will in
sure the Los Angeles to Phoenix race
being run through this city and county
! in November.
From Los Angeles comes the report
| that race enthusiasts there are anxious
to have san Diego on the course and
are willing that daylight control he
made here.
1t is planned to start the race from
| Los Angeles about o'clock the morn
| ing of November =. This would bring
| The cars here about Q o'clock the same
morning. After being in the control a
| suitable time they would proceed on
| the course and would reach Phoenix
November 3.
The next day the race from Ell PaSo
will finish in Phoenix and the two
races would show that the southern
route proposed for the tranSc0ntinental
! highway is open for travel. II would
| he an excellent opportunity to do good
work in the interests Of the southern
| route and would do much to offset the
| claims advanced for the northern
course across the country.
The plan to include San Diego on
| the race course was only proposed
| here yesterday. but ii already has been
indorsed by many. A meeting to con-
slider the proposition has been called
| for Tuesday at p. m. al the L. :.
Grant hotel. Bullard will be at the
meeting and will explain the PROPOSE
ton to include San Diego. He says
that only $1,000 is required to send the
ears this way and that the prize list
would total 10000.
Bullard believes that many of the
ears that We're in the Los Angeles road
race would be entered. 1t is certain
that San Diego will swell the field for
il sent twenty-siX racers into the san
DiegO-PhOeniX race held last year.
In that race San Diego raised purse
of $500 so the subscription work for
this race will be much easier. llerrio-
fore when purses for races have been
raised only few contributed. The re
suit being that the purse was not rep
reSentatiye. The contribution Of dol
lar would make a representative purse
and would give many san Diegans or
portunity to have an active rIteroot
in the race.
While plans for raising this sum are
not vet matured. one proposal is to sell
buttons at a dollar apiece and to sell
only 1000. Besides the purse san
Diego could offer cups and trophies.
Two hung UP for the race last year
would be raced for again.

Britaln's Largest Landlord.

Brooklyn Eagle: A certain c.. S. l..
Cover. better known as the Duke of
Sutherland, died the other day in Lon
don. A quiet, kindly man, caring little
for politics and nothing for society, ne
is said to have been the greatest land
lord in all Europe, except the car Of
Russia. His rent roll covered one
sixteenth of all Scotland, and very
large portions of Shropshire and Stat
fordshire. totaling ,35s,6OO acres. He
was good landlord. fair to tenants,
quick to make repairs, quick to make
allowances for bad harvests, and liked
by everybody; keen yachtsman, an
excellent type Of the hereditary aris-
tOcracy of the British islands. Primo
geniture made Mr.. Covers vast pos
sessions possible. Now that all things
are being subjected to the tOuchstone
of reason by English statesmen. the
death of the Duke of Sutherland can
not but compel attention to the prin-
ciple of primogeniture, which indeed
has not been wholly neglected by the
Asuuith-G George Lloyd school of
thought.
1t is said that 40 men own quar-
ter of England, that 70 men own one
half of Scotland. and that one-thirtictl
Of one per cent of all the population
own two-thirds of the United Kingdom.
Less than II per cent of the land is
owned by those who occupy it. The
title of the owners is like that of the
Il
grant. In spite Of these statistics, how
ever, it may be noted that single
Texas syndicate. a single artificial per
son. owns 5000. 200 acres of Texas, an
area twice as large as all the Duke Of
Sniherland's holdings. The Reid
Newfoundland company. founded by
Sir Robert Gillespie Reid, owns 2.3O0.-
900 acres in Newfoundland. But IN
newer countries land is so largely wild
and tenants so few that no great hard
ship y felt by people at large.
In the British islands it is claimed
Thai the trend is toward increasing the
land holdings of the few. and that this
trend has been marked since 1858.
Theorists say that all land titles, traced
back. rest on force or fraud. or both.
The answer of Blackstone. as we re
member it, is that organized society
must drop The veil over its beginnings,
But the tendency Of Asquith and Lloyd
George to lift that veil is one that stu
dents of civilizations development
cannot we'll ignore. SO far as land Is
concerned the tendency will be stlmu-
lated by an event like the passing OF
The domain of the Duke Of sutherland
to his eldest son.
