COMMANDER PoLIAkoFF CASE
TAKES MORE SERIOUS TiNGE

Cologne, Germany. March 1s.-The
arrest of the Russian naval comman-
der, Poliakoff, during the carnival sew
eral weeks ago which the German
press assumed was due to police
blunder, now appears of more serious
import than at first though. Accord
ing to the Cologne Gazette the testl-
mony of three reputable witnesses be-
fore the examining judge confirmatory
of the charge of attempted theft
against Commander Poliakoff was so
strong that the Judge could not do 9TH
erwise than hold him for trial. Com
mander Poliakoff protested his inno-
cence, but was unable to controvert
the testimony of the witnesses.
The paper expresses the hope that
the trial may show that the officer was
the victim of a misunderstanding and
was really innocent.

CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

The question of the platform to be
adopted by the Democratic State con-
vention Thursday at Indianapolis shall
contain, is absorbing the attention of
party leaders. The correspondence
made public Tuesday by Senator Kern
in Washington, where President Will
son and Secretary Bryan Endorsed the
idea Of statewide primary, has add
ed great interest to the situation.
Many party leaders are outspoken
against the abandonment OF the con-

convention will ask that the question
be submitted to the people of the state
for decision.

Dr;ed Fruit.

Unquestionably sun dried fruits and
vegetables are better than most pre-
served foods. Yet the many difficult
ties in drying them out Of doors In this
climate prevent most people from con
sidering II. But nothing is easier If
you own a hotbed, such as where you
start vegetables or flowers. Lay a
floor on top Of the earthj spread a
clean cloth over the boards and put the
fruit or corn, peas or beans on this.
After placing the articles to be dried
in the frame put the covering sash
back on 1t. taking care to raise both
ends about two inches to give free cir
culation Of air over the fruit, for the
air carries OFF the moisture and pre-
vents the fruit burning. Insects can
not stand the heat in this frame, and
rain canDot reach the fruit, although
it is advisable to put the sash tight on
the frame In case of storm.

herman Potato Salad.

The Germans excel in the art of pre-
pairing potato salad In a variety of
combinations. Their first consideration
is the potato, which must be just right.
They use a hard little potato, which
Nboils tender. but does not crumble.
These potatoes may often be bought In
delicatessen shops in your city and are
usually called German salad potatoes
or Hamburg potatoes. Blend them
with onions, green peppers. beets.
string beans, radishes, okra. carrots.
cucumber, tomato, parsley, cress and
lettuce for a vegetable salad.
With salt or smoked fish. shrimps,
salmon, sardines. oysters or scall9ps
you may have a different potato salad
every day. so well do they combine
with other good things to eat, All
cooked meats, fresh or salt, make most
excellent yasads combined with potato
u~s'6nrfy and fresh fish, except those
mentioned, are an exception.
Potato salad is the one exception to
tie rule of serving salads as cold as
possible. They are very good served
hot and Outlines should be served In
this way, particularly for luncheon OF
supper with cold meats, or, If combined
with meat, as a warm supper dish
Potato salad should never accompany
a regular dinner Of roast and vegeta'
bles, as it IL too hearty a dish in itself

Culinary
Notes
When Preserving Fruit.

When Preserving Fruit.
The secret of preserving fruit is sim
ply the killing of ferment germs and
bacteria by intense heat and the ex-
clusion of air.
Fill Jars brimful-this excludes air.
then see that the lids are screwed
down just as tight as possible. After
screwing the lids on tight place the
Jars upside down until cool. Any leak
caused by cracked cup or faulty sealing
rings will be instantly discernible,
Be sure your jars are well sterilized-
that Is, heated through and through by
placing in hot water and let come to 0
boil. This sterilizes and also toughens
the jars, so they are not so apt to break
when filing with hot fruit.
Don't take any chance of losing your
fruit by using sealing rings from the
previous year. Rubber Is very snscep-
tible to climatic conditions and rots
very easily. Provide yourself with
new rings each year.
II Jelly does not set well q few
days In the rays of the hot u will
improve 1t.
To seal jellies pour melted parafin
over the jelly in each glass. Fruit
Jars may be sealed in practically the
same way. After filing jars with fruit
screw lid on as tight as possible, turn
upside down till cool, then dip tops in
melted parafIin, using care that the caps
and rubber sealing rings are complete
ly covered.
Fruit may be kept several years in
this way.

MAKING CABBAGE piqestibIe.

Cabbage that is crisped in cold wa
ter before it is cooked or served raw
will agree with almost every one II
you do not commit the error Of over
cooking it. Overlooked, water soaked
cabbage is an objectionable sin against
the powers of digestion. If you find
that the peas. green beans. cabbage
ETC., have grown beyond their tender
youth you may resort to the use Of Q
little baking soda added to the water
in which they are boiled. But use
soda very %judieiously. The slightest
excess viii injure their favor.
