USING THE NEW cHAFINe DISH

using THE NEW CHATTING DISH,
Thousands of chatting dishes have
been received by young and old as
Christmas gifts. They have been
given to men or women, boys or girls,
housekeeping in home, so-called light
housekeeping in few rooms, or the
young man or woman in a single room
at college.
Denatured alcohol is used in a lamp
/ for the heat or electrical dishes are
now becoming very common. This
article is really for the beginner in
the use of this cooking appliance as
many have said to me, Il have a chat
ing dish but have been afraid to try
to use it, There are lew things
cooked over a fame or on top of the
stove which cannot be cooked in a
chatting dish.
The greatest help is in having
everything in readiness for the work.
See that the lamp is filled with de-
natured alcohol. This can be pur-
chased by the quart or gallon, which
is about so cents, and should be kept
well corked in a cool place. 1t is an
inexpensive fuel if used properly, as
the burner is turned low much of
the time after the first cooking and
the food placed over the hot water
pan to cook slowly or be kept hot.
The chafng dish serves its pur-
pose perfectly at the breakfast table,
luncheon. supper parties, or Sunday
night suppers. The table should be
laid OF the meal and the chatting
dish on a tray and all materials to
be used in it conveniently arranged
on either side. This is placed at the
service of the one who is to do the

Judge Davis OF the Ionia circuit
court has filed his decision in the case
of c. c. Briggs and wife VS.. the Beld-
ing Base Ball Club and the city OF
Belding, by granting the base ball as
sociation the privilege of playing ball
on the grounds known as Athletic
Field and adjoining the Briggs pro-
perty. He has forbidden the build
ing of a grand stand in the southeast
corner of the field except under GER
tain conditions and requires that the
city properly police the entrance to
the grounds and the street i'm front of
Briggs residence during ball games.
Judge Davis decision is as follows:
THE temporary injunction hereto
fore granted will be modified in the
following particulars: First, the de-
PENDANTS are permitted to play ball
upon the grounds described in the bill
of complaint but the same must be
played in manner to absolutely
prevent foul balls from passing over
into the yard and against the residence
of the complainant in this case.
Second. no grand stand shall be erect
ed in the southeast corner of the
premises occupied by the said base
ball club in case IL should require any
higher elevation than the present
fence that now stands between the
said base ball grounds and the resi-
dence Of the complainant And the
City OF Belding will be required during
any time such games are being played
To properly police the entrance to said

front of such entrance and residence
of said complainant and prevent any
and all persons from trespassing upon
the lot and premises of the said COM
plainant. and also that improper con-
duct shall be prevented as far as pos
sible by such police surveillance. The
game OF baseball is not Of itself a
nuisance and properly played rs a
healthful and pleasurable game. and
the parties should not be enjoined
from playing and charging spectators
for witnessing such games because OF
the cheering or loud noises connected
with the game so long as it is not OBJ
scene or profane"

He entered into conversation with
some young men standing on the walk

ing's great Chautauqua assembly.
For one entire week the people of
Belding and vicinity will have an op-
portunity of hearing the very best of
entertainments and lectures at a won

fore in the Banner season tickets may
be secured at almost any business
house or office in Belding for the en-
tire course for 50 for adults and 81

every one of the 81 entertainments
to be given during the week. This
brings the cost per entertainment
down to little less than seven cents.

FLAT RIVER HAS
IDEAL ADVANTAGES
FOR THE CANOE|ST
OVER THREE MILES OF BEAUTI-
FUL SHADED WATERS AWAIT
THE PLEASURE SEEKER
BEAUTIFUL SHRUBBERY
AND SHADY GROVES
Rare Pleasure of Drifting Back Home
With Only Slight Effort Being
Necessary

The waters of Flat river and the
groves along the border of this stream
afford an ideal place for pleasure
seekers to spend an afternoon, a holi-
day or outing trip.
The dam near the Richardson mill
holds the otherwise swift water i'm
check and makes of the river a long
narrow fresh water lake.
After leaving the immediate vicinity
OF the factories of the city. the canoe
list going up the river passes one of the
most beautiful parks in the state of
Michigan. Here may be found, IL one
does not care to go farther, plenty Of
natural material for a days complete
enjoyment.
Along the groves border may be
found shady pooks having enough Sc
clusion to make an outing individual
and exclusive. Unreasonable guam
titles of the very best deep well water
are continually being throw from the
pipes of the flowing wells at the water
works. Lawn seats are placed at ran
dom about the park in convenient and
cozy places. Swings and merry-go-
rounds are provided for the children.
Above the plane Of the swings and
play ground equipment one may find
ample room for spreading a sump-
tuousN feast under the roof Of the large
brick pavilion. Here wooden horses
and broad boards are found in such
quantities that when they are all plac
ed as tables the whole pavilion may
be made to present the appearance OF
a large banquet hall.
