Near the Camp power plant, on the
Withlacoochee river, Mr.. Robert
Pratt, a nephew of the great Atlanta
chemist, has a restaurant, and is
building up reputation equal to the
eating house at Lloydys, on the Sea,
board railway near Tallahassee. In
his restaurant he has an electrical
contrivance by which he manufactures
his own ice at a minimum cost each
day. In addition to his manufacture
ing his own ice, and thereby keeping
his milk and butter and other neces-
sary articles always delightfully."- cool,
he can attach electric fans on his lit
tie dynamo, and keep his dining room
and kitchen cool and can use it also
for freezing the ice cream, churning
the butter, running the sewing ma
chine and doing other economic do
nestle stunts. Really every kitchen
ought to have an electric fan. A
small 8-inch fan, costing but a few
dollars, will furnish enough breeze to
keep an ordinary kitchen cool during
| the hottest days. Such a fan will OPP
crate at full speed for less than
quarter of a cent an hour 1t requires
less current than an ordinary mean
| descent lamp, and will last for years
and years The fan can be placed to
blow the heat away from the work
table, or it can be fastened to a wall
bracket to force the hot air out of
| the room and thus replace it with
cooler air. Almost every business of
flee has its electric fan, even though
the business man does not have to
work over a hot stove, and there is no
reason why the home should be with
out this useful servant which com
mands the four winds. The fan can
also be used in the dining room, the
sitting room or the bed room, when it
has served its purpose in the kitchen.
The Messrs. Camp are making it
possible, or will lin time, make it pos
sible, for nearly every farmer in Ma
rion county to possess one of these
domestic dynamos, which in large
degree will eliminate much of the
drudgery of the farm, and will largely
add to its pleasures.

Error spreads and multiplies much
faster than the truth can overtake it.
That generally careful and correct
paper, the Ocala Banner, contains
this statement in regard to the Car
negie gift to Vanderbilt University
THE bishops wanted to ignore and
reject the gift because the string at
tached to it was that all students be
admitted to the medical department
regardless of their UNCONVENTIONAL af-
filiations." No such illiberal and non
sensical reason was assigned by the
bishops for their veto.-Tampa
Times.
Well, will the esteemed and highly
respected Times tell US briefly just
what was "Uncle Andy's" offending
in making a gift of 100000 to Van
derbilt University?

Mr.. Oscar w. Underwood has de-
nounced Martin NJ Mulhall as a liar
and blackmailer." He says that he
never saw Mulhall in his life, and of
course had no conversation with him.
Mr.. Underwood thinks that Mulhall
himself is the author of his famous
batch of letters; that they are bare
faced fabrications written to the man
ufacturers to make them believe that
he was doing something" for the
money he was receiving.

When he was in Ocala the other
day, Mr.. J. G. Ferguson said to a re-
porter of this paper that Lakeland
had wisely put in her sewers, next
put her telegraph and telephone wires
underground, and when this was done
began putting down her vitrified
brick streets. Now, Lakeland says
that her white way" is a certainty.
Lakeland is striving to become city
right.

Suitable Dtsbee for a
 Halloween Spread

 ENOR the Halloween supper tomato
 cocktail is much more appropriate than the oyster cocktail Get tiny red round tomatoes and peel them with out scalding, cut in halves, quarters or cubes, and put them on ice to become thoroughly chilled. Place long stem med cocktail glass on a small plate. arrange crisp. tender lettuce leaves about the base and in these place the tomatoes, enough for one person. Rub your mayonnaise mixing bowl with bruised clove or garlic; then put in two tablespoonfuls of tomato ketchup. one of mushroom ketchup, a teaspoonful of worcestershire sauce. salt to taste, half a teaspoonful of paprika. two drops of tabasco and tablespoonful of lemon juice. Beat these Ingredients well together and put into the glass. Dip the pieces of tomato into this sauce as you would the oysters.
 Witch of Endor Salad.
 The salad ingredients are white grapes with seeds and skin removed, pineapple cubes, apples pared and cored and cut into dice, and tender. crisp white celery cut fine. Add a few Bra zilian nuts cut in thin shavings. Mix with nnayonnaises sharpened well with lemon juice and seasoned with paprika- Arrange on a shallow dish on crisp let
 
 or stiff whipped cream, spreading it to represent a playing card. and decorate with red and black spots cut from pi- mento peppers and truf1es-hearts. diamonds. spades and clubs. Slice rich yellow and Neufchatel cheese thin and cut in small rounds to represent gold and silver coin and arrange in little piles, one on each individual salad plate. Shake a little paprika over the whole.
 Apples on Stick.
 These honely old fashioned sweets furnish more amusement for a house party on Halloween than the apple on a string or diving for apples into a tub Of water blindfolded. Choose firm tart apples, not too large, and pierce them with slender little skewers or sticks convenient to handle. Prepare the coating by boiling two pounds of brown sugar in a smooth saucepan with a little hot water until the sfrup is stringy; then dip the apples in and turn them over and over until they are thoroughly coated with the sirup.
 Deviled Chestnuts.
 Shell large sized chestnuts of the common variety and cut crosswise in thin slices. Put enough butter in a frying pan to fry the chestnuts a rich brown, but not to burn them, or fry in deep fat in wire basket While they are still hot season them with papr1ka and either worcestershire sauce or ta- basco.
 Canton Cream.
 This is delicious and easy to make. If you do not wish to freeze the cream yourself order a plain vanilla cream, very smooth and frozen very hard, and stir in finely minced preserved ginger and enough of the sirup to flavor to taste and repack. With each service have a spoonful of nuts. chopped fine and carameled with a little sugar. sprtnkled over the top of the cream

IS YOUR OVEN RIGHT?

VOL can never make a success of
 baking unless the oven is exactly right. If 1t is a little too hot or too cold all your nice cakes or pies will be spoiled. You can always test the heat by putting a piece of white paper on the oven shelf you mean to use and leaving 1t there for few minutes. If the paper comes out white or very slightly Drowned at the edges the oven is cool
 If the paper comes out a good deal Drowned, but not burnt at all, the oven is moderate. If the paper comes out brown all over and b1ackened at the edges the oven is hot If the paper burns all to finder the oven is fierce.
 You can always cool an oven that is too hot by putting baking dish full of cold water into it. Let this remain for minute or two. then take it out and keep the door open until all the steam caused by the heating of the water has dried away.
 Use a cool oven for milk buildings and other things that need to stand in a gentle heat for a long while, so that i the hard substance of fruit may swell slowly
 l Use a moderate oven for rich cakes 1 and other solid things that have to be l baked slowly, so that the heat may
 work right through them while the -OutS1Q6 remains SOIL. IL IS a BOOQ plan ! to put a rich cake into a hot oven for
 a few minutes first just to make it rise
 and afterTard into a moderate one. Meat and fruit pies should be treated l in the same way, little strong heat to bring up the pastry and then mod crate heat to cook the contents of the l pie.
 1 Bake shortcake and puff pastry in a hot oven. Remember that when you are using a hot oven you must watch
 it all the time and be ready to see that the baking does not get burnt. l If your goodies are burning on top cover them over with a double sheet of greased paper. If they are burning l underneath stand the tin that holds them on a baking dish raised on a
 brick so that the tin may not touch 1 the hot floor of the oven. Some people always keep an old tin
 partly filled with sand in the oven or on the rack above the fire. This Is very useful, as anything that tends to burn underneath may be put into the sand tin and kept quite safe. But remember that you must not put your things into cold sand. The sand must be heated first or it will make your cake ''sad" at the bottom.
 A fierce oven is not much used ex-
 cept for very rich pastry and savory dishes that have already been cooked and only need browning.

Pousework as a Cure
 for NerVes

TRERB is nothing especially new in
 recommending housework as cure for nerves Women often take up the idea in a faddish fashion and speedily fall back into easy ways. lazy habits and too frequently indulge in rich foods and sweets that have Feen de- nied them
 Now in one of the sanitari1sms where fashionable women go to get back their poise, appetite and normal sleep a housework cure has been made a part of the recuperative cure.
 A splendid1y equipped sanitary kitchen is the scene of the cure. Here are the newest conveniences in the way of an- tiseptic glass tables, tiled floors and walls Electric heating and cooking devices, together with a brave Array of kitchen china in blue and white ware. make an inviting picture for the aesthetic eye. It Is certainly a more encouraging setting than a sun parlor full of nervous patients
 A staff of capable instructors in do- mest1c science takes turns in giving lectures and practical demonstrations. In a short while the patients forget their woes and ailments in the novelty of their work. and they take up their dustpans and broonns with interest and a lot of amusement.
 Of course there is plenty Of rest be- tween the classes.
 Washing is one of the arts that form part of the cure system, and when the chemistry of the process is made clear it is remarkable how fascinating this usually despised task becomes. Laces and dainty handkerchiefs are the arti- cles chosen, and the pupils are taught the art of bluing, starching. drying, sprinkling and ironing of these articles.
 By degrees the mind of the irritable woman is taken off her own ills and ailments and the cure begins to work. There are lectures by authorities, illus trated by moving pictures, showing the many different processes of culinary work and the right ways of doing cer- tain things as opposed to the wrong ways.
 '.It is good" said the director of a sanitartum recently. flor women to take interest in domestic tasks. It all becomes a sort of play, and that is the secret of curing nerve trouble for men and women. Teach them to play. Take them out of themselves and if possible teach them to be useful to themselves and to their families"

UELOURS DE LANE is coming into
 its own. Who could resist for long such a fascinating fabric? Introduced in the spring, 1t was obvious that its chance would only come with the au- turnn.
 veIours de Iaine has, like plush and neau de bete, a big future, and espe- ciaIIy in the more expensive sorts. in which the velvet surface is as thick, as warm, as rich and almost as expensive as fur. It is. besides, likely to remain exclusive as well as distinguished, for it cannot easily be initiated in the cheaper varieties.
 Both with a plain surface of thick velvet and in ribbings of every degree of thickness, from the organ tube to the favorite medium stripe which may be carried out in two shades. the rich and cozy fabric is much employed for the wraps which are now being shown

IF YOU NEED A
 DRESSING JACKET

A PRETTY and practical dressing
 jacket can be easily made at home by the amateur seamstress if the fol- lowing directions are exactly followed: A yard and a half of material twenty six inches wide are required. Fold this strip of material through the middle and cut slit five inches long down the center fold. Turn back the two sections to form a collar. If the ma teria1 is the same on both sides of these flaps hem them neatly or crochet an edge round them, using wool or silk of a corresponding shade. If the ma terial has a right and wrong side the collar flaps will have to be faced with plain silk or with the same material
 The cuffs are formed by turning back the material of the corners on a diago- nal line with the collar. Two large, flat buttons are fastened to each sleeve, and these are slipped into loops of braid. The remainder of the fabric is bound with silk ribbon or finished with a crochet edge. Two buttons with the corresponding loops of braid join the fronts.
 Crepe de chine or Japanese silk or a cheap cotton crape in an attractive shade is suitable for making this prac- tfcal little negligee, which only covers the shoulders and reaches well down the back. The open sleeves are placed oVer the arms and buttoned easily un- derneath.
 This is a particularly useful jacket for an invalid. as it is so simple mat ter to slip it on and off. If great warmth is necessary it can be made of blanketing or eiderdown-

 The table centerpiece might be Q witches caldron, made of . pumpkin and hung on a standard of three sticks, with sticks piled underneath to initiate fire, and batss cats and spi- ders about on the table among the goodies.

 : Before beginning the treatment ap- ply some cold cream to the face, rub bing 1t in well. This will avoid any slight cracking Of the skin if 1t is sen- ssitive. It is just as well to smear one's finger tips with the cream also. Just 8 word about the lips. These are often unattractive because they are pale and hard looking. To bring a little color into them for any special occasion the best thing to do is to apply some good cold cream, then a little eau de cologne and smear again with the cold cream This will take away the hard appearance. as well as bring color to the lips.
 It is not wise. however. to make a practice Of touching up the lips in this way, as continued applications of eau de cologne will crack them

The Little Girls School Bag

 She'll never forget that first text book if the bag for it is a pretty affair of fancy cretonne or raw silk with stout ribbon strings or hangers.
 The bag should be lined with oil silk and the child shown how to turn this side outward in case she is caught in a storm, By being taught thus early in her career to look after the appear ance of her books the child will con- tinue that sort of thing throughout her life
