LATIN AMERICAN DISHES

This is the season when travellers from
the Latin American countries come to
the United States in greatest numbers.
and American hostesses are sometimes at
a loss to provide their guests with dishes
which will appeal to them. Latin Ameri-
cans are especially susceptible to and
grateful for consideration of this kind
Thanks to swift steamships and good
refrigeration. American hostesses are
now able to cater to the tastes of friends
from Cuba. Mexico, the West Indies and
the South American countries, and pro
vide them with at least a few dishes
which will smack of home. These can be
obtained in all the coast cities of the
country and in the larger interior cities.
Plantain is one of the staple dishes
of the Latin Americans, and in most
OF the countries is served in some form
every day of the year. The fruit sells
at three for quarter in seaport towns
and a half dozen will be ample for
family of six. Plantain Is served as a
fresh fruit when very ripe 1t is also
boiled in the skin in salt water for half
an hour. peeled. sliced and served with
butter and salt. The under-ripe fruit is
often peeled. sliced thin, and fried, after
the fashion of French fried potatoes.
Baked plantain is also delicious the
whole fruit being baked in quick oven
Lo hileeH minutes ana served without
dressing as sweet with meats Plan
tain frltters are also very tempting.
The mango is another fruit that Is
very popular in all tropical countries
and which can easily be obtained in this
country during the summer months. Ex-
celient preserves and chutney are made
from the mango. When very ripe the
fruit is much liked by those who are
natives Of the tropics. but Americans
from the north usually have to acquire
a taste for it.
The alligator pear. with which one is
sure to tickle the palate of the visitor
from the south, can be obtained practi-
cally the year around in the United
States 1t is more of a delicacy than
some of the other tropical fruits, selling
at 30 cents apiece in Atlantic coast cities
at this season. The Latin Americans like
these pears best when served merely
with salt, but In some of the European
countries, as in the United States
French dressing is used.
South American sweet potatoes long
since found their way to North America
can markets. and many inquiries are
made for this tuber by those who have
come to know its superior qualities This
sweet potato is cooked much after the
fashion of the native sweet potato, but Is
also popular for preserves and in the
making of puree. Creole confection Is a
decidedly popular dainty made from the
sweet potato in some sections of the
tropics.

With this costume are worn pink ana
white striped stockings-those accordion
stripes that are quite pretty-and the

rubber sole and no heels.
The sailor hat is of white satin with
an enormous black velvet poinsettla at
the back
There are all kinds of collars and de-
signs in these new collars. There are
plenty in black and white stripes, and
women who like a more brilliant touch
Of color than a plain surface gives. are
taking up the MARITIME stuffs with their
broad stripes against which are backed

Mushroom Tests,

The little town of Tarrare near Lyon,
France. boasts of a unique institution, a
theological bureau. where expert iudg-
ment may be had concerning mushrooms
brought to 1t for examination
The country roundabout abounds with
mushrooms of many varieties, and, of
course, many OF these are poisonous
Since the establishment of the bureau
at Tarrare no one thinks of purchasing
mushrooms without the bureaus ticket
of identification and guarantee.
All the country people for great dis
tances bring their mushrooms to the in
stitution for examination.

PARIS. August 3-The knowing ones

UMBRELLA TEA" PLEASES
CHILDREN AND OLD FOLKS

For the convenience of the family.
especially if there are little folks. or
young women that entertain very
much during the summer months,
every home, whether in the city or
country, should have a corner of the
grounds where small tea table might
be placed. 1t will not take up much
space. but is fast becoming a necessity
to the hostess.
It is also an important resting place
for the members of the family who
desire to sit outside and sew or en-
broiderer.
For the Children, Too.
The little folks can use it for their
tea parties, which every little one de-
lights to have in her own yard or to
attend at a little friends home One
important thing to consider is the cost
OF this Japanese tea table, which is
very slight though it would take some
members of the family a little more
than an hour to build and arrange.
The first thing is the quantity Of
material required to make the UNI
brella which covers small table.
which can be procured from the attic
or some storehouse. This table can
be brought out and dressed with a
coat of varnish. and. be it ever so
small. it will be large enough to hold
three or four cups of tea, a box of
candy, or the fancy work of two or
three women. You would need three
yards OF unb1eached muslin to cover
parasol, seven strips of bamboo about
the size of an ordinary curtain stick
six feet long and one and a half-inch
pole six feet long.
Putting It Together.
Cut a hole in the center Of the table
large enough to clip the pole through.
making-a brace for 1t on under side, in
order to hold it straight. Across the
top nail four braces six feet long and
let 1t extend across. When this is
completed. take a paper and cut a pat
tern for the pieces of muslin, which are
shaped the same as the space between
the two braces. Cut eight of these
pieces and sew them together on the
machine, and place over top and catch.
Fasten a circular piece all around the
edge of bamboo, taking the other three
pieces and splicing them together.
Tack the edge to this circular piece
When it is completed attach a piece
three inches wide all the way round
the parasol. It can be placed in any
part of the ground and moved when
desired.

DEATH OF JAMES d. AGNEW
Was Pioneer of Idaho and Had Been
Prominent in Masonic Circles

Boise Statesman: The last charter
member of Boise lodge No. 2, A. F. &
Ia NJ, James D. Agnew, is no more
News of his death which occurred at
Call ranch, Highland, Friday morning,
was received in the city Friday night.
Mr. Agnew was 80 years of age at
the time of his death. He came to
Idaho in so, crossing the plains in all
seven times. He is credited with hav-
ing brought the first load of passengers
in a stage coach to Idaho City, driving
the first stage over the hill on Moore's
creek, or rather he let the coach down
by ropes attached to trees, while the
passengers walked, the grade being too
steep at that time to attempt.
Mr.. Agnew helped to survey the
Boise townsite. He was a prominent
democrat in the early days, when
democrats were at premium, and
served as sheriff of Ada county one
term.
In the early days Mr. Agnew kept a
livery stable, always owning several
blooded horses. He was born at indie
pendence, Mo. He leaves four chill

SKATING

The sand pit is the most popular
gathering place these days. What 6
pity that the young people of Moscow
have not a larger, more convenient
and suitable place in which to enjoy
one OF the finest sports ever invented
1t ought not to be impracticable to
provide a few spots in Moscow where
the precious bits of cold weather could
be put to use that would carry many
happy memory into adult life.
If private lawns arc adapted to such
uses, perhaps the city could afford to
flood them in order that the neighbor-
hood children might gather in groups
for an hours sport after school and
another after supper.
Some public lots are surely available
for flooding. There was fine sport one
winter, we reeolect, on n piece of
land near Paradise creek There have
been miniature skating ponds on the
grounds now owned by the harvester
company. Perhaps both of these place
or better ones could still be secured
for few weeks use and perhaps the
city could pump them full of water for
a big freeze.
Any pleasure that keeps boys and
girls out of doors, full Of life and amin
alton, innocently and happily occupied
the city might well encourage to the
Limit of its ability, including labor, wa
ter, and whatever other outlay would
be entailed
About the sweetest sound on earth
in the winter time is the laughter and
merry shouting of jolly skaters, and
the most attractive sight is a healthy
young girl with fire-red cheeks, sway
ing rhytmically up and down an ice
pond Skating is capital device for
working off lot of superfluous energy
that needs good directing.

Comment on Lecture

MOSCOW, Dec. 14.-To Fellow
Christians: Having read in the Daily
Star-AIirror of the 18th inst, a report
of the lecture given by George Shaw
Cook of Boston we wish to state that
surely there is no law of God to sus-
tain disease in any form. His work is
perfect Deut. 1924 and he made Adam
our first father sin his own likeness
with freedom of choice in all things,
made him ruler lord of earth as
Jehovah is Lord of the Universe, but
Adam chose to disobey and thus and
in no other way the penalty of death
came upon him and all in him-ail
mankind AS it is written, Wherefore
as by one man sin entered into the
world and death by sin and so death
passed upon all men for that all have
sinned, for as by one mans dis
by the obedience of one shall many
be made righteous, for since by man
came death by man also comes the
resurrection of the dead and so dear
friends we place the blame or guilt
of all our sickness, pain and death
where God places it, on Adam, through
to his command. Then
we are prepared to see clearly His
love in sending his son as our ransom
to redeem us from the death state
John 3:16, Phil. 2:89.
And though death has passed upon
ali let us have undaunted faith in
Gods arrangement tli-t in due time

merited reward of all the obedientl

Yours in Christian love and defense

RED CLOTHES

If getting out of bed this morning
to put down your window seemed such
a hardship that it took a 4ood hour to
work your courage up to the process,
what must have been the sensations
of the persons who slept cold all last
night? 1t is easy enough to deny that
charity is needed in Moscow, but it
is nevertheless fact that there are
some houses in which the bed clothes
are too thin, too ragged, and too cot
tony to keep the children warm these
nights.

properly tended, so Chicago and other
cities have demonstrated, use less fuel
and give off less smoke. Good firing
is clean and economical.
