EASY TO KEEP FOOD FRESH
Fruit and Vegetables May BE Bought

most indefinitely.

II Is much more injurious to food to
keep 1t in box with a scant supply
OF Ice than to leave Il covered on q
pantry shelf where there Is a good
supply OF fresh air. II one must be
economical with ice wrap each cake
In a piece OF old wooden blanket.
which must be removed and boiled In
water and baking soda once a week.
Fruit and vegetables may be bought
at the height Of their season, when
they are at their best and cheapest,
and by simple and safe methods kept
until a later time, when they will be
more of delicacy because out of sea-
son and more expensive to buy, and
more than likely not in the market
at all.
Lettuce, parsley and all other green
things may be kept deliciously fresh II
t1rst washed In cold water, shaken and
then packed in tin pail that has a
very tight cover, so that the air may
not penetrate to them. and set in a
cool place. In the case of lettuce,
when the cover Is removed the leaves
Will pop up and you will find them as
crisp and fresh as If they had just
come from the garden.
Even lettuce that has wilted to a
sorry state will revive wonderfully II
subjected to few hours Of such treat
ment. To purify greens that are to
be eaten raw, use pinch of boric
acid powder in the water in which
they are washed.
Tomatoes picked when just ripe and
firm and attached to the stems will
keep almost indefinitely with no no
ticeable loss of freshness if covered
with brine made by dissolving a. tea.
cupful of salt in gallon Of pure,
fresh water. Place them in an earthen
vessel. A mixture OF water and vine
gar will also keep them fresh for a
long time.
To treat cabbage in order to have
1t retain all its fresh, crisp, clean
qualities for long time, strip off the
root and old outside leaves clear down
to compact head. Take two or three
thicknesses Of clean newspapers and
wrap up each cabbage in a tight. neat
little bundle. Place in box or barrel
II you will take freshly gathered
green corn on the cob or carefully
shelled peas or beans and dip them In
boiling water. then dry them in a
room in which there is free circu.
lation of air, they will keep for long
time and retain all their freshness
and flavor.

Rhubarb Ice.

Use the red-stalk variety of rhu-
barb. Wash we'll, cut finely and stew
until soft in plenty OF water, making
thin sauce Then strain and meas
ure. Add a cupful of sugar to a
pint Of Juice. Stir until the sugar is
dissolved and the mixture is cold, then
freeze. A dash of orange peel may
be cooked with the rhubarb, and the
.uioe added to the cold mixture. This
may be made into more elaborate
ices by adding meringues-plain or
marshmallow or almond, candied or.
ange peel or cherries and various 9th
er dainty touches will modernize the
original idea.

Eresh Butter.

A firkin of fresh butter, which must
have been made generations ago, has
been dug up in swampy ground at
Ballinahove by workmen employed
by Mr.. r. H. Mitchell Of Desertmartin,
Ireland. A@
The firkin Is about two feet In
height, with q circumference of about
ten inches. 1t appears to have been
scooped out Of tree trunk, and on tn
sides are a couple Of handles with
holes through them probably for the
purpose Of holding cords. so that the
firkin could be carried on the back.
It contains 2S pounds Of butter, which

motor.car Window Opener.

The cumbrous method OF raising and
lowering the windows OF motor-cars
and other carriages by means Of 4
strap will soon be superseded by Z
German invention. BY the new de-.
vice the inmate of the carriage presses
upwards or downwards a handle, and
the window rises or falls according.
". Moreover the window can be
raised or lowered to any required
height, and will automatically stay
where placed. The ingenious device
has been brought before the notice Of
the motor-car body builders and Eits

In justice to MI. Oswald Garrison

desire to reply to letter Of A. S.
Edmonds in the Public Mind" column
of the Times of the twenty-second,
writes H. o. Cook in a communication
to the Kansas City Star.
Mr.. Edmonds, in comparing the
views of Mr.. Willard and Mr.. Booker
T. Washington in his Atlanta address,
sees wide difference in the opinions
Of these two men, and concludes that
certainly Mr.. Washington knows. II
anyone does, the best means Of solv-
ing this problem" If Mr.. Edmonds
would talk with, Mr.. Washington today
he would find that he (Mr. Washing
ton) has made long jump since that
Atlanta address. Moreover, Mr.. Ed
monds, as a great many others, has
the impression that the men who be-
lieve and are working with Mr.. Willard
are opponents of Mr.. Washingtons
policy. These men, on the contrary,
thoroughly believe in the policy Of in
dustrial education and the accumula-
ton of property for the negro, but do
not believe that these alone will Sc
cure all those rights and privileges
that are justly due him as an Ameri-
can citizen. -.s...a ...-.......
Mr.. Willard, with thousands OF 9th
ers in this country, feels that the ne
gro needs not only this education and
material wealth, of which he Is secur-
ing more and more every year, but
that he deserves justice in our courts,
equal opportunities in civic and politi-
cal life and the privileges of enjoying
the best in country which he has
helped to ;'uild and protect.

In this much bemonumented land 1t
is rather curious that no monument
has yet been set up anywhere to
} commemorate the loyalty of the
slaves that remained on the planta-

commemoration Of that sort belong to
the old slave states, but citizens of

sion Of esteem for the faithful slaves
that stayed at home while their mas
tiers went to the army, guarding faith
fully the women and children whom
the white men Of the South had to
leave at home when the call to arms
came. ...r
Now the omission will probably be
rectifed since at the recent reunion
of Confederate veterans at Jackson
vile a motion was adopted recon-
mending that such monument be
erected in the capital city of each OF
the former slave states. A little re-
Election serves to show one how rich
ly the commemoration is deserved.
Singularly beautiful and touching was
the loyalty of those black people to
the families of their masters. The
fact that the white men dared leave
their wives and children to the protec-
ton of the black men who were their
slaves is in itself tribute of which
the American negro can always be
proud and now monuments In the
capital cities of the South will per-
manently recall to mind a reliance
that was not misplaced.
