FOR The HOUSEKEEPER
SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE
WORTH CONSIDERATION.
Proper Serving Of Summer FruIt-Ex.
tension Cover for Cooking Pot
Wire Rack the Best Thing for
the Pot LIDS.

Even though melons are served in
the simplest manner their appearance
should be attractive. This is an excel
lent way to prepare an entire water
melon:
Hold the melon lengthwise toward
you. Insert the knife near the top and
cut diagonally downward toward the
other end. leaving four or five inches
as base. Three inches to the left of
the point where the knife is first in
serted cut again. this time diagonally
toward the far end Of the first line OF
cut. thus making pointed tongue. Con-
tinue TO cut up and down in this man
ner until the melon is cut completely
around, when two equal sets OF points
will result, and these jagged halves OF
the melon can easily be pulled apart.
To cut baskets of cantaloups: Tie
string around the melon so that the
half may be plainly marked. Then
from one end cut strip both ways
an inch wide to the strings to form a
handle. Remove the side sections and
cut the sweet pulp carefully so that 1t
will be a dainty bit. And from the
baskets thus formed take the seeds
and thread. Place the baskets and
pulp separately on fee, and when ready
to serve fill the hollow with the pulp,
with the addition of ginger strip.
Whipped cream or ice cream can be
used TO fill the melon basket and
ribbon may be tied around the whole
or knotted on the handle.
When the cooler weather comes we
will commence to use more fried and
greasespattering foods. An excellent
cover has just been put on the mar
ket, which is adjustable to almost any
size pot or pan. 1t is made of good
tin. in a cone shape, and looks like a
gigantic candle snuffer 1t is so made
that this cone can be made fiat for a
wide pan or higher for smaller dish;
one cover doing for several pots.
The high, cone-shaped top keeps odors
in and is very much better for frying
purposes than the usual fiat tin cover.
Its price is only rs cents.
One of the seasons novelties is
little fruit cutter which will scallop
the edges OF grapefruit, orange or Gu
cumber 1t consists of small wooden
board with knife-like parts so ar
ranged that when the fruit is rotated
over the board scallops are easily cut.
This device costs so cents and is ex-
cellent for decorating the edges OF
fruit. and especially for making Gu
cumber baskets
A very simple and useful article in
many kitchens and pantries is new
rack for pot lids. This consists Of
narrow strip of pins with loops Of
wire of varying diameters into which
lids of different sizes can be slipped
The rack is made to hang on a wall
and can be folded up fiat when not in
use. Although it is better to keep a
lid near the pot to which it ebelongs,
this rack may be useful to many hous ,
wives to keep number of lids which
are ordinarily poked into a deep
drawer-the most inefficient way of
keeping them. In retinned wire it
costs 80 cents

HOW "RICHEST MAN"
GOBBLED UP TIMBER

Los Angeles, April 6.-Frederick
Weyerhauser's popular fame dates
from January, 1907, when a maga-
zine writer in describing him hit up
on The phrase "richer than Rockefel-
ler." Mr. Weyerhauser denied he had
more money than the oil magnate.
'I have enough to pay my debts,
with sufficient left over to keep my
family and myself comfortable the
rest Of our days." he said.
But the truth of the statement is
still in doubt. 1t has been said that
in 1907 he he'd 32,OO0,OO0 acres of
timhered land Most great fortunes
arc largely in :tOcks and bonds, the
value cf which is always approx
nately kncwn to the owner Mr..
Weyerhauser himself did not know
what his timber was worth. He GER
tainly was the richest lumberman in
the world. He reid the lumber stu
alton of the whole United States in
the hollow of his hand.
The future forest lord was born
at Niedersaulbeim, southern Ger
many, November 81, 1884, and
worked until Is years old in his faith
er's vineyard, when he emigrated
with his mother and sisters. They
stayed four years in Erie, Pa. Here
young Weyerhauser worked in a
brewery. He was by reputation hon
est, thrifty and Industrious. Leaving
Erie for Rock Island, ILL.,, he started
work in a sawmill and there met
fellow employe of like character, F.
C. A. Denckman. They married sis
ters. Within six months Mr.. Weyer
hauser was manager of the sawmill.
Then he and Mr.. Denckman bought
the mill. A little while after MIR.
Weyerhauser went to Wisconsin and
came back filled with enthusiasm for
the northern forests. The two part
ners saved every penny and in 1864
bought a large tract of Chippewa
land for song. This was the be-
ginning of their large operations.
They bought and bought. Then Mr..
Weyerhauser began to show a genius
for combination. He became known
as the man of a thousand part
ners.
In 1891 Mr.. Weyerhauser moved to
st. Paul. His operations became ma
tionwide. He controlled the Appa-
lachian situation equally with the
Pacific coast lumber business.
