FRIED H0MINY WITH BACON
Should Be Made the Staple Dish for
Breakfast, With, of Course,
Little Fruit.

First fry the thin slices of bacon in
frying pan, then cut the cold hom!ny
in slices and fry in the fat. 1t is well
to have plenty so as to avoid the
need of another meat or hearty dish
for the meal! Rolls or cold bread OF
almost any other little ceremonial
dish will complete the ordinary light
breakfast, with the coffee. OF course
little fruit is always in order at any
meal, whether custom or fashion calls
for it or not. That usually is more a
matter of convenience and economy
or luxurious indulgence sthan other
wise, although for breakfast the fruit
is of especial value as an appetizer
and clearer of the taste and whole sys
tenn than at any other time. We are
all so apt to have no appetite and also
to be sluggish in the morning that
fruit is a very desirable addition to the
first meal of the day at any season.

FAv0RITE DISH IN ORIENT
Saffron PLAT, Mainly Composed Of
Rice, Considered Great DeIicaey
In the Far East.

This is also called wedding pilaf,
because it is invariably made and
served during wedding dinners and
other great occasions in the Orient.
1t Is composed Of two parts, the first
being plain pilaf, which should be
made before the second part is COM
menced. For this first part:
Ingredients: Five cupfuls of stock.
two cupfuls of rice, two tablespoonful
butter, salt and pepper.
Method-ln deep vessel roast well
the rice in the butter and add the
broth. Season to taste and boil over
a strong fire. When nearly done
slacken the fire and cover the pilaf
with piece of muslin under the lid
OF the vessel in order to prevent the
water from the steam falling back into
the vessel. After five or ten minutes
stir the rice lightly with a perforated
spoon and put into a hot oven till all
moisture has evaporated and the rice
remains almost dry.

half cupful Of sugar.
Method-Put the washed rice and
the sugar together in a deep vessel
and boil over a moderate fire till near

saffron (Which must have been soaked
in the rose water for twenty-four
hours) and mix well. When the rice
is well cooked the pilaf may be con-
sidered done, when it should be poured
over the first part of the dish. Serve
in deep plate. If the entire quantity
is not to be used at one time then
it Is advisable to keep the sections
separate and heat separately, mixing
just before serving.

md the great locks have been con-

be done is largely detail, and is but
:hild's play as compared with that
which has been done. More dirt is

his will be done with suction dredges
hoating upon the waters of the canal.
There still remain some finishing
touches to be placed upon the locks,
but this work will take comparatively
little time and presents no engineer
ing difficulties such as have been en-
sountered in the past.
The fact that the canal stands prac-
.ically complete more than a year be-
lore the time originally set as the
tate for its completion is one of the
remarkable features of the work
When Count de Lesseps, the great
French engineer. abandoned his eff
lorts to build the Panama canal after
eight years of Tabor, he had scarcely
made a beginning upon the gigantic
task. In nine years, the American en-
sineers, starting almost at the same
point as de Lesseps, for the latter's
work was of little value to the Amer
leans, have virtually completed the
undertaking. When the work was
started the world scoffed at the idea
hat it could be completed within the
lime limit set. but hats are now OFF

ALMOST COMPLETE
Removal of Gamboa Dixie Means
End of Work Is Near.
WATERS OF OCEANS MEET
First Steps Are Taken Toward De-
struction of Big Embankment
Which Holds Gatun Lake Out
of Culebra Cut.

Colon, Panama, Oct. 1.-The climax
of nine years of untiring work on the
part of the men who have been build
ing the Panama canal came today
when the waters of Gatun lake were
permitted to run for the first time
into the Culebra cut. This simple
operation marked the virtual compile
tion of the great isthmian waterway.
The water was permitted to flow
into the cut today through four &c
inch pipes extending through the
Gamboa dixie, which has held the
waters of the lake back from the cut.
This was done in order that there
may be enough water in the cut to
prevent any damage when the dixie is
finally removed.
The final destruction of the big dixie
is scheduled for October 10, when
charges of dynamite placed in holes
already drilled in the dixie will be ex-
ploded. The explosion of these
charges will not completely destroy
the dixie. but will weaken it and loos-
en- the dirt so that the force of the
waters from Gatuan lake will carry it
away. Steam shovels will remove the
remnants of the dixie, leaving an open
passageway from ocean to ocean.
Canal Really Complete Now.
Although the canal will not be Off
'cially declared completed for some
time, and the formal opening Of the
waterway to the commerce of the
world more than a year distant, the
canal engineers look upon the de-
struction of the Gamboa dixie as mark
Ing the real completion of the canal.
The big engineering feats have all
been accomplished, the excavation
work practically has been completed.

dredges floating on the waters of the
canal, and will not interfere with nav
igation of the waterway by such boats
as may be allowed to pass through.
Immense Artificial Lake Created.
Gatun lake, the waters of which are
now flowing into the Culebra cut. Is
the pivotal point about which the en-.
tire canal system revolves. and the
creation of this lake, together with the
construction of Gatun dam, consti-
tuted another great engineering feat
in the construction of the canal.
Gatun lake is an artificial body of
water covering about 164 square miles
of territory and was created by the
building of the immense Gatun dam
and the impounding of the wild wa
ters of Chagres river. Beneath the
waters of Gatun lake lies what few
months ago was the valley OF the
Chagres, dotted with native Villages
and plantations. The channel of the
canal passes through this lake FOR a
distance of "a miles with width vary
ing from 500 to 1000 feet.
At the northern end of the lake
is the Gatun dam, which is in reality
an artificial ridge more than a mile
and half long. Figures alone give
an adequate idea of the magnitude of
this dam. Nearly half a mile wide at
its base, about 400 feet wide at the
water surface, and 100 feet wide at
the top, the dixie which many engi-

spite unforeseen difficulties that have
beset them at every hand.
Goethals to Make Final Test.
The first vessel to pass through the
canal probably will be a boat of the
Isthmian canal commission, Col.
George w. Goethals. chairman of the
commission and chief engineer of the
canal, and his principal assistants.
The final voyage through the canal is
scheduled for some time during this
month. Within another month it is
expected the waters in Gatun lake
will have risen high enough to bring
the waters in the entire canal up to
the deep water level required for the
passage of the largest ships.
1t is said that as long ago as the
early part of August, assurances were
given Washington officially that if the
emergency should arise, the entire
Atlantic battleship fleet could be put
through the canal into Pacific waters
within 60 days from that date. The
work has been hurried with that end
in view, it is said, as no emergency
has existed, but this assurance is an
indication of the belief OF the engi-
neers that their work is now practical
ly finished.
Culebra Cut Caused Trouble.
The excavation of the Culebra cut,
into which the water has just been
turned, has been one of the engineer
ing feats connected with the building
of the canal, and has caused the en-
gineers more trouble than any 9TH
er portion of the big ditch" To
Col. d. D. Gaillard, the engineer OF
the cetnral division, is given the
credit for carrying this portion of the
work through to a successful termina-
ton
The disastrous slides in the cut
were discouraging to the engineers
nullifying in a few hours the work OF
many weeks. but Colonel Gaillard and
his assistants have kept untiringly at
their work, and at last have conquer.
ed the treacherous banks of the deep
cut. The engineers believe that the
danger of slides will be eliminated
now that the water has been turned
into the cut.
A little more than a month ago the
giant steam shovels finished their
work in the Culebra cut. Since that
time the workmen have been busy
removing the shovels, the railroad
tracks and other machinery used in
the excavation work There is still
some dirt to be removed from the cut
before the channel is finished, but
this work will be done by suction
