At the meeting of the city COM
missioners last night the limits
wherein cattle and live stock are
prohibited from running at large
was extended considerably. This
was done because many citizens liv-
ing outside the present limits Pc
titioned for protection from the
wandering bovines, and it is the
policy Of the city to gradually ex-
tend the limits, without working
any more hardship than necessary
upon stock owners on the outskirts
of the city. The limit set by the
commissioners could not be ascer-
tanned by the Telegram, hut will

PROPER WAY TO MAKE SOUP
Preparation Worthy of More Attention
Than Usually Is Given to This
Part of the Menu.

To get the most out of soup bone
1t should be fractured every inch OF
its length. The soup should never
stop cooking from the time it is put
on the stove until it is done, although
1t should at no time boil furiously.
Once the soup is started cooking no
water should be added, as this spoils
the flavor
The soup bone should be put into
cold water, and no salt should be
added until the soup is done, as the
salt stops the flow of the juices.
The soup should cook from five to
seven hours at least.
All the spices used in a soup should
be put in whole-that is, whole black
and white peppers, cloves, bay leaves,
garlic, etc.
One quart of water should be al
lowed for every pound of meat and
bone, to begin with. This is rule
of the creoles, but they make rich
soup. If weaker soup is to be made.
or If vegetables as well as meat are
used in the stock, the amount of water
can be increased.

HANDY TABLE FOR KITCHEN
Having Everything Handy f:- the
Cook Saves Many Steps in the
Course of Day.

First off if there are no shelves
above the kitchen table she has some
built, also lower shelf on the table
itself. There she stands all mixing
bowls for bread and cake; the rolling
pin and board stand on the table shelf
also. On the shelves above the table
are all necessary provisions for the
preparation of meals. There are jars
of flour, rice, sugars, spices; there are
bottles of olive oil, vinegar, etc, for
salads.
Then, hanging from little hooks
screwed into the edge of these upper
shelves are all the instruments of
preparation which will not fit into the
table drawer. There are can opener,
corkscrew, potato masher and many
Others
One well-known housewife invented
an excellent device to save work. Ev-
cry cook knows how many dishes are
dirtied in pairing potatoes, fruits and
vegetables. This woman had a nice.
new, clean refuse pail put on the
lower shelf of her kitchen table and
directly above it she had circle of
wood cut out of the upper shelf, so
that it opened right down into the top
of the pail.-Exchange

ADDS TO FLAVOR OF STEAK
For Those Fond of Rich Dishes This
Mixture Is One That May Be
Recommended.

Take fillet steak, cut Ia inches
thick. An hour before cooking, place
in the following mixture, turning 1t
two or three times: Four tablespoon
fuls of mushroom catchup, two tea
spoonfuls of brown sugar. one tea
spoonful of chopped parsley. one-quar-
ter of a teaspoonful of pepper, one-half
a teaspoonful of salt and four table
spoonfuls of brown sugar.
After it has lain in this mixture for
an hour take 1t out, drain and dredge
it with flour. Broil it or cook in hot
skillet with large piece of butter for
fifteen minutes, covering the skillet
to keep in the steam. Remove the
steak; add the vinegar mixture to the
fat in the pan. boil it up and pour
around the steak.
This is delicious served with potato
chips.
