NOURISHMENT IN DATE
ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE
OF NATURES FOODS.
Excellent When Eaten Raw, Though
There Are Many Approved Meth
oes Of Cooking Them--Mske
Dainty Filling for Sandwich.

An old legend relates that one OF
the Arab chieftains supplied each OF
his soldiers with bag of dates and
a loaf OF barley bread and that with
this equipment they started OF on a
ten days march. Because Of its very
high sugar content the date offers In
a condensed form an unusual amount
OF energy. II is particularly good
sweet for children. much more TO be
preferred than artificial candy.
Dates are most frequently eaten
raw, but are equally good in many
cooked forms. as many OF the follow
ing recipes will indicate. When COM
bined with nuts and used with milk
they form, indeed. a complete meal. as
vegetarians have often proved.
Dates With Cereal.-Wash a pound
OF dates and let them stand In a pint
of water overnight. Let them come
to a boil, then simmer gently for a
few minutes, favoring with a few
drops OF lemon or lime or orange
Juice. Remove the fruit, add a little
sugar to the liquid left In the sauce
pan and simmer until thickened. Pour
over the fruit and serve cold.
Date Sandwiches. - Chop stoned
dates until soft enough to spread. Use
thin slices OF buttered bread and make
sandwiches. Instead Of buttering the
bread one may substitute finely
chopped nuts, II desired. These sand
wiches will make a most satisfying
luncheon.
Date Gems.-Stone and chop half
cup OF dates. Beat separately the yolk
and white OF one egg. Add the yolk
to the dates, with a pinch OF salt, a
half pint sweet milk. two scant cups
OF flour. into which two teaspoonfuls
OF baking powder have been sifted.
Add tablespoonful OF oil or butter
and beat in the whipped white OF egg.
Bake briskly for 20 minutes.

UNDERGOING NATURAL DECAY
President Wilson's View of the Huer-
ia Government.

Washington, Jan. 27.-President
Wilson characterized as interesting
fiction" published reports that orders
had been sent to Rear Admiral Flet-
cher to land marines at Vera Cruz
and keep open the road to Mexico
City In case the Huerta administra-
tion collapsed. From the White
House point of view the situation in
Mexico is changing slowly and the
Huerta government is undergoing a
natural decay"
There is no particular development
or critical situation in the Mexican
problem or any other foreign question,
the president explained. which has
caused him to call the senate foreign
relations committee into conference.
A general consultation on foreign
affairs was the reason given for the
meeting, the president making 1t plain
that although he had tried to keep in
touch with the committee heretofore
he would be able now to give a rather
systematic attention to foreign rela-
tions.

SecretaryLan Explains Gov
ernment Plans.
TAKE SHARE OF PRODUCT
Would Permit Prospectors to Work
Certain Areas With the Under
standing That Uncie Sam Get a
Percentage of the Mineral Found.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Secretary
Lane told the house mines committee
that congress should break up the
monopoly that keeps radium at a
fabulously prohibitive price" and en-
act legislation to put the curative
mineral on the market cheaply for
large numbers of sufferers.
Secretary Lane declared it was the
government duty to get all the ra-
dium it could.
He combatted arguments against
withdrawal of lands, saying there was
no intention of setting aside vast
area nor to lock up the minerals or
lands indefinitely, but simply to get
radium out for public use where 1t
would not be in the hands of mo-
nopoly.
Secretary Lanes proposal was to
divide a certain area into tracts of
$50 acres, allow exclusive licenses
to prospect and if prospector found
radium to allow him to all the usual
rights except that the government
would take 20 or 20 per cent OF the
radium obtained.
He would also have the government
have absolute control over certain
definite area for the development OF
radium on its own initiative.
IL believe that we should not be
confined TO developing the ores on
any single withdrawn area" said Sec
retary Lane. I'VE should say to all
the prospectors in the West: Go out
and find these ores, the government
will buy the ore from you at reason
able compensatory price and will re
duce the ores itself. Thus we world
have all of the radium ores that might
be discovered at our service"
