Baked Rhubarb

will you tell us of some new ways of
cooking rhubarb? I am told that 1t is
very wholesome and slightly medicinal,
and therefore should be eaten freely in
the early warm weather. Why? And is
there anyway of preparing 1t that will
make it more palatable than the ordinary
stewed pieplant familiar to us all?
MARTHA H.
Rhubarb contains ctric and malic acids.
Both are cooling and anti-biious 1t is
wiser as we'll as more agreeable to use
the plant in the delibltating days of early
summer than to take a course of spring
medicine and ever so much cheaper than
to send for doctor
This is an excellent recipe for dish
that will vary the monotony of "stewed
pieplant.'
Baked Rhubarb-Wash and cut the
stalks into inch lengths without remov-
ing the skin. Wash In cold water and
drain in a colander. Arrange in a bake
dish, strewing sugar plentifully between
the layers Fit on close cover and bane
in steady oven for half an hour. Then
uncover and squeeze the juice of an
orange over the rhubarb. Cover again and
bake tender. Keep covered until the dish
is cold. Eat as the first course of break
fast or with cake as dessert after lunch
con or dinner

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, June 22.-G p. M)-Tem-
peratures are still high in all interior
cotton districts, and while there was some
local cloudiness and occasional thunder
showers, fair weather continued to be
the rule over the greater portion of the
south. Tampa, Fla, reported "A hour
total of 2.10 inches, while Atlanta had
:26 inches during the same period, and
a maximum wind velocity of 64 miles
per hour. New Orleans received &c
inches with a so mile wind. These rains
were local thunder squalls, due to the
high day temperatures and rather slug
gish condition of the atmosphere that we
have experienced during the past sew
eral days.
The bank of high barometric pressure
in the southeast seems likely to remain
in its present position Monday, so we
have little prospect of any material
change in the weather during the next SO
hours.
The high temperatures of the past few
days in our section of the country are
subsiding as gradually as they came.
Sunday the average temperature in Bir-
mingham was only two degrees above
the normal and one degree lower than
Saturday. While no material tempera-
ture change is looked for Monday or
Monday night, probably no higher read
ings than we are now having will be ex-
perienced.

Preserved Persimmons

"a am a student in household science
a. the University of Illinois and am work
ing on Japanese perslmmons. If you have
any recipes for persimmon preparations
will you please send them to me?
IN. II. g."
This is an old Virginia recipe.
Preserved Persimmons-Ihe persmmons
must be perfectly ripe and beginning to
wrinkle" Wash and cover with cold
water for six hours or more. Drain
without wiping and simmer in clear water
until they plump slightly and are heat
ed through Drain and spread upon a
sieve to cool and firm" Make a syrup
of as many pounds of sugar as you have
of fruit with a cup of cold water for
every pound of sugar. Boil until clear
and free from scum; put in the persm-
mons and cook gently 10 minutes after the
boil begins anew. Take up with skim
mer and spread in the sun to dry for an
hour. Meantime add the juice of lemon
and a pinch of ginger "a little DASH to
each quart of the syrup and boil down
thick. Put in the persimmons once more:
boil gently for 10 minutes. Have jars and
covers scalding hot: fill with the persm-
mons within an inch of the top. Pour
in boiling syrup until the jar runs over
and seal at once.
This, made with Virginia persimmons,
i. a delightful conserve. The japanese
are much larger and more juicy and
pupy. Perhaps some housewife can tell
us how to preserve them?

California, he said, X Okazaki, member
OF the japanese parliament, arrived to-
day from Europe on the Carmania. In
his mission he represents the interests
of his political party, of which former
Premier Katsura is the leader.
I'VE know that the attitude of the west
is mostly against us" said Mr.. Okazaki,
but the eastern people and those in the
middle west seem to be neutral. L am
here to find out exactly what their SEN
fiments are. We do not, of course, ask
for citizenship rights for the japanese.
We understand that the law is against
our people being naturalized in the United
States. But we do ask for the right to
own property, such property as we might
wish to purchase"
Mr.. Okazald who left Toxic April II

the traveller to investigate the situation
here, he said, as the advices to Japan

Wednesday afternoon, will consider a
report from caucus budget committee
including Representatives Underwood,

favoring budget committee to super

fix a maximum for the session. The
caucus likely will discuss other mat
ters, including the currency bill.
Members of the democratic congress

The subcommittee of the democratic
majority of the committee on finance
of the Senate spent today in perfect
ing the income tax amendment to the
tariff bill. The members put the con-
clusions reached last night by the full
committee into shape to go before the
caucus. 1t is understood that the
amendment will go to the printer to-
morrow and be taken up In caucus
Tuesday.
The committee reached the conclu-
sion that incomes of mutual insurance
companies should be exempted from
taxation under the Underwood bill, in
sofar as the companies are mutual. The
mutual insurance company question has
been one of the most difficult that had
to be dealt with In rewriting the in
come tax law. The committee finally
decided that many companies that
claim to be mutual are only partially
so and decided that the only exemp-
tions allowed this class of taxpayers
should be upon SO much of their in
comes as may be actually mutual. The
committee also decided to put in the
bill an amendment specifically exempt
ing the incomes from investments by
states and municipalities.
