In this dinner we have to avoid excess
sive labor and time in preparation. Mrs.
whitaker, who furnishes the recipes for
the cream Of asparagus and the veal
souffle, says: The menu for Sunday s
dinner will not require over three-quarters
of an hour to prepare 1t is not cxpen-
sive, as the souffle takes the place Of o
roast and makes use of left over. The
desert can be made the day before and
the salad material prepared ready for
combining at the last moment. Real
brown bread made from rye and corn
meal and steamed in baking powder cans
will be relished and also can be cooked
on Saturday. The same menu would
serve better for luncheon. but It Is given
for the Sunday dinner because so many
mlstresses of small households are their
own cooks and cannot spare the time or
strength IN the kitchen on SUNDAY t.
make heavier menu.

APPROPRIATIONS RUNNING LOW.

APPROPRIATIONS RUNNING LOW.
The Governor and state Auditor
Graham were in conference Saturday
at Montpelier on the subject of fl
nances. The appropriations in some
of the departments are running low
and doubt is expressed that they will
hold out until the end of the fiscal
year, June 80. The auditor called this
to the attention Of the executive in
order that provision could be made
to carry the departments through to
the end of the year under the Coming
and going" fund. The two depart
ments under consideration are insane
and the industrial school at Vergenncs
1t is estimated that it will require
$4,000 in the department for the main
tenance of Insane and $4,000 for the
industrial school An increase in the
price of board at the Brattleboro re-
treat, the high cost of living and the
extra expense caused by the commit
ment of so many habitual drunkards to
the State hospital for treatment, are
matters said to have caused the ex-
haustion of the appropriation in the
department of the insane sickness
and fires are blamed at Vergennes.
The Governor will meet the heads of
these Departments during the week and
have matters explained before the ap-
preparation is extended.

handful of the men who fought in the war
with Mexico, 1Si6-lS4S responded to the
call of the commander of the National
Association of Mexican War Veterans to
meet in annual reunion here to-day, the
war spirit was dominant with those who
were able to be present.

despite his age. more than 90 years, well
coined the less than a dozen survivors
who were guests of Chillicothe for the two
days celebration. He is president of the
national association.
If l were not blind" said Captain
Fisher, Il would offer my services to my

Mexico. My infirmtles are great but my
love of country is not lessened by age"

STATE WITHDRAWS OFFER

The recent offer made through State
Highway Commissioner Charles w.
Gates to purchase the old Peru turnpike
Of John j. Flynn Of Burlington for $40, 900
has been withdrawn. It Is understood
that road, as surveyed, can be built
for about the sum offered the owner of
the turnpike and that it can be con-
structed without the steep grade that
characterizes the turnpike. This prop
erty is the connecting link between the
east and west sides OF the Green Noun
tains. The road, built by Gen. Peter
Dudley, was maintained by him for near
ly 70 years. The road and about 1000
acres Of land were bought by Mr.. Flynn
some years ago and the land has been
sold for great deal more than he paid
for the whole property, still leaving him
the turnpike. The road was for years not
a paying property, but through tn adj
vent of the automobile and the fact that
the Peru road is the easiest way of
crossing the Green mountains it has be-
come very much used route.
