one pint OF boiling water; stir 1t to
melt the powder and then pour 1t into
a bowl, and as soon as 1t starts to
"jel" beat with q rotary egg-beater
until 1t is light. Then pour In half
pint OF rich. sweet milk, pinch OF
salt, two ounces OF crushed stale al
mond macaroons; II this Is soft. put it
on the Ice until IL stiffens again. then
add a few drops of sweet almond fla-
voring and one gill Of graduated
sugar. Wet "a mold. pour the water
out OF 1t and refill with the mixture:
put 1t in the refrigerator to ripen.
Serve with plain or whipped cream
and lady fingers.

Or instead Of top crust, cover the

meals to prepare. Not only because
the appetite Is then most capricious,
but one must use care not to fall into
the rut Of bacon, eggs, toast and cof-
fee until the sight Of piece Of toast
Is reason for saying things.
AS toast is so inevitable and withal
SO necessary, we should learn to spare
our families the infliction of under

pieces. Cereals which are light AMI
require little cooking are more favor
able for hot weather than the heartier
oatmeals and wheats. There Is no
more delicious breakfast dish in the
summer than fresh fish with radishes
and bit of French fried potatoes.

DAIRY CATTLE PERFORMANCE
HIuh Records Are Found Among All
Prominent Breeds and They Are

When a COW will produce twenty
times her own weight in milk In q
year, she may certainly be regarded
as valuable piece of property. When
a COW will produce 500 to 1000 pounds
of butter fat in year, she is a prize.
Such records as these are found
among all the prominent dairy breeds
and they are increasing In number In
each breed at a most satisfactory
rate. Just now there is competi-
ton for the championship In milk

GROWING BERRIES
UNDER THIN CLOTH
Plants Develop AbnormalIy Under
Shade in Experiments Made
in New York State.

Experiments in New York with
growing Strawberries under shade
show that the plants develop abnor-
mally under canvas.
The matted rows in the shade were
better filed because the plants made
more and larger leaves, and because
no plants under the cover were killed
by the drought. while some in the open
we're killed and many were seriously
weakened.
AS the result of heavy frost It was
observed that many of the leaves and
all Of the buds of any size not under
the cover were killed. while under
meath the cover none OF the leaves
were injured.
Only when thin cheesecloth was
employed was there any increase In
yield. With the heavier grade of cloth
there was a marked decrease In yield
with each of the 20 varieties grown,
and In no case was the increase in
yield sufficient to compensate for the
cost of shade.
In the case of the lighter grade OF
cheesecloth there was considerable
increase In the size of the berries OBJ
tanned In the shade, but with the
heavier grade no difference in size of
berries was observed.
With the lighter grade of cheese
cloth 10 quarts picked underneath the
canvas contained 1.102 berries, while
IS quarts picked in the open contained
1,452 berries, thus showing an In
crease of about one-third in size in
favor OF the shaded berries.
The material used for shading was
a thin kind Of cheesecloth. known as
Bombay" costing about four cents a
yard. 1t was sewed together and
hemmed, with rings attached for Sc
curing It.

fish there are always the canned and

 Hinh School, Although All Rooms Can Re Occupied by Monday Next.

At the Windham High school the builders and the sub-contractors are making excellent progress and by Fri day of this week, or by Monday of next, Principal E. A. Case is planning to occupy all the rooms of the .capa- cious and beautiful new building. Up to this time the classes have been, oc- cupying the same rooms as at the beginning of the year, and because of the crowded conditions. the schedule has been somewhat modified. Next week. however. the high school will have the whole educational plant at its disposal and then the normal schedule will be possible.
 The blackboardS will all be in this week in all the rooms and the floors are nearly all laid. Men have been putting them down in the chemical laboratory this week and the room is all in readiness for the tables. which are on the way. This department, therefore, will soon be in activity on it's practical side.
 But while the school rooms will be ready for use by next week. the build ing in it's entirety will not be com pleted for six weeks. There is much work to be done in the basement, where floors are to be laid, and paint ing to be done. The work left how ever. will interfere very little with in struction and order and system will succeed the rather unprecedented con ditions of this fall. which, it. may be said, have been met efficiently and successfully by cooperation between teachers and student body

are retired on Oct. 1, the total of out standing water bonds will be reduced to s12500o and the taxpayers will be saved the yearly payment of s2,000 in interest.
 The earnings of the city water de- partment- in the past few years are noteworthy. Five years ago, in 1909, a sinking fund of s50,o00 was estab lished and used to retire bonds that came due at that time. Thereupon another sinking fund was established and the earnings of the water depart ment were put into 1t. That in half a decade they have totalled $42, 1000 speaks for judgment in planning and efficiency in management. And it is even thought that to meet the bonds which, issued in 1885. come due next month, a sufficient number of collec- tions may be made by that time in the water department to reduce the sum the city must borrow from $8,000 to $7000. As soon as this borrowed money is restored by the earnings of the department, the procedure will be to establish another sinking fund.

TRACK TO NEW THAMES RIVER BRIDGE
Work Has Been Begun at East New

Preliminary work on the construc- tfon of the new main line of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road Co. in New London to the pro- posed new bridge across the Thames river began Tuesday. A large quan- tfty Of timber and other material for the new trestle over Winthrop cove is on hand and two hoisting engines are in position.
 The railroad company is still en- gagged in the purchase of land in East New London to be utilized in connec- tion with the coming Improvements. It is understood that all the transac- tions for the transfer of real estate are complete with the exception of two parcels. The buildings on some of the lots purchased are being sold by the company for removal. Numer- ous tenants will be compelled to seek new homes shortly
