SOUP WISDOM

In making cream of tomato, corn,
spinach or any other vegetable cream
soup, it is a good plan to thicken the
soup before straining the vegetable.
Then one straining will remove the
thick parts of the vegetable unsuita-
BILE for soup and will remove any
Jumps from the thickening.
Remember in mixing a cream soup
to pour the meat or vegetable liquid
on the milk to avoid curdling. AL
ways pour the tomato mixture in the
milk in cream tomato soup. Many
cooks do not use soda in mixing to-
mato soup, for they say that wher
the tomato is poured on the mill
there is no danger of curdling. How
ever, pinch of soda is safeguard.
To give an amber color to stock
add finely grated carrot to =. Toma
to juice gives red tone. Spinach
leaves, pounded until the juice i;
pressed out, give green color. Ado
enough of the green juice to gain the
desired tint. A little burned sugar
or -four gives deep brown color tc
soup.
The addition of cold or warm watel
to soup in the cooking spoils it. l.
it is necessary to adc more water tt
cooking soup, add bubbling, boiling
water.

THE TABLE
Iron and Steel Need Rest.

Although the iron and steel industry
is one Of the mightieSt of the world,
and offers such rewards that some OF
the greatest chemists and other sci
entists study nothing else, there are
lots of apparently simple puzzles
about it that no one has been able to
solve yet. The man who discovers
the right answer to one or more of
them may make a million dollars out
of it.
Every one who handles steel knows
that it gets tired" at times. After
a piece of steel has been subjected
to a severe strain for a certain period,
IL may suddenly snow decided weak
ness. Then the experts say it is
tired; and so it is, for if it is allowed
to rest awhile, it regains it's old
strength.
Recently it has been found that
steel beam can be made stronger ny
increasing the load on it gradually
in other words, by exercising 1t just
as a man exercises his muscles when
he wishes to make them stronger.
Very often new steel will not pass
tests that it should pass, but after a
few weeks it is found that 1t has
grown better and passes the tests
beautifully Then, again, steel that
was perfect when it was tested often
gets sick" 1t cracks or becomes
brittle, although other steel made at
the same time in the same way re-
mains perfectly sound. No man knows
why these things happen; but lots OF
people are trying TO find out.-New

TABLE WARE

Among the customs of our grand
mothers was that of giving personal
care to the fragile cups, saucers and
other pieces of fine china and glass,
and it was probably this appreciative
attention which made the china last
so long. A little tub or sometimes a
silver basin filled with hot soapsuds
was brought to the housemother on
a tray, directly after each meal. She
would then gather up the silver,
glass and egg shell cups, and wash,
dry and put them away

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

For Toothache-Heat two table
spoons vinegar. Dip a little ab-
sorbent cotton in the hot vinegar
and apply to the gum at the root of
the aching tooth.
To Relieve Pain-A turpentine
compress is made of half pound corn
meal, half cup turpentine. Make
mush in usual way, add turpentine,
spread between two cloths. Lay
flannel over the flesh, then mush bag,
then cover thickly, so the patient will
form a sweat. From thirty to sixty
minutes usually stops pain.

ROUNDS DEATH
People Of Dunlap Greatly Shocked to
Learn of tho Sudden Death OF
John e. Lowell
CAUSE OF DEATH a MISTER,
Body Found In Buggy From Which
. Team Had Been Unhitched-
Case to be investigated.

Dunlap, June Especial to the Re-
view)-The people in this vicinity
were very much shocked Tuesday to
learn of the sudden death of John f.
Lowell, who resided between this place
and Moorhead.
A mystery surrounds his death. He
farmed land near his parents place
and was in the habit Of going home
often as his mother was accustomed
to help him with his household work.
His father went over to his farm to
do the chores and noticed a buggy
some distance from the place and upon
investigation it proved to be his sons.
The team was unhitched and tied near
by and the lifeless body OF his son was
found in the seat, fastened in with
parts of the harness and a new rifle
lying across his knees.
Coroner Thomson, of Onawa, was
summoned and the case thoroughly
investigated. From what could be as.
certained the death was due to suicide
which it is believed was brought about
by his worrying over financial affairs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lowell and family are
completely overcome by the death OF
their son and brother.

Accident Was Luck in That No One
Was Seriously Injured, Eut the

Kiron, June 14--(Special to the Re-
view)-On Sunday afternoon while
Edwin Johnson and wife. together with
Lennie and Oscar Johnson, in their
afternoon spin in their auto, were
making the crossing near the Baptist
church, car driven by Schleswig
parties crashed into them, striking
their auto in the rear and pitching it
to one side, throwing out Mrs Johnson
and Oscar, who luckily escaped with
a few bruises and good shake up.
Edwin's Ford had both the rear
wheels demolished. The driver of the
schleswig car after hitting Johnson's
car, got excited and apparently lost
control of his car, which swerved off
the road and crashed into tree,
which stopped the car, after the radi-
ator and lamps were badly damned.
Luckily it was stopped or ii might
have upset and injured the four occu-
pants.
AS Mr.. Johnson was coming from
the west and going east the driver of
the other car. who was going south,
thought that Mr.. Johnson intended to
60 south instead OF keeping straight
east. and accordingly steered his car
to the left, but finally saw his mistake
too late to avert striking the other
car. Numerous remarks and complaints
were heard from the crowd that gath
cred. but which Is natural in mis-
hap of this kind The Schleswig party
regretted the accident and was willing
to settle the damages. 1t was very
lucky that no one was seriously hurt
or killed. While the affair is most
unpleasant to all concerned. it should
prove caution to all auto drivers to
exercise more care.

Monday morning and after an investi-
cation and consultation by the proper
authorities paid a fine of SO and
