WITH THE HOUSEWIFE

There is no room in Mexican
home so radically different from
american rooms as the kitchen. The
.cocina contains no wood range or
heater, but a long, fiat charcoal CRATE,
made of thing or bricks, that serves
.as stove. Frequently these are
made of pale blue and white thing,
In of spotless white, and consequently
|thev are very neat in appearance
Some are red, with paintings of white
.or blue about them; rather ornate
|for such unitarian purposes.
The cook stands before the opening
.;n the sides of this charcoal oven, with
1 small woven fan, and coaXes the
.flame into boiling the frijoles which
|fll the red earthenware pot, resting
on the CRATE over the Goals. Suppose
american housekeepers waited for
cooks to fan their stoves!
The matter of cooks in a Mexican
kitchen is always a plural one, since
an entire kitchen full may be obtained
almost as easily and cheaply as the
cheap clay ware in use for utensils.
Half a dozen cooks to small kitchen
are frequently found. AS rule, they
are dirty and slow, but we'll trained.
Each can do but one part of the work,
except in particular instances. Their
hours are from early morning to
eleven at night and never a holiday
except to go to mass each feast day.)
The kitchen ware of a Mexican
kitchen, even among the better class,
is a very simple affair. There are
no tin, copper, or agate ware dishes;
only two or three large earthenware
bowls (ollas), some fiat dishes of the
same material, the small jarros that
are somewhat like pitchers, set of
wooden spoons, the metate and mol
cahate for the tortillas and salsas. A
few other small pieces such as the
wooden heaters for the chocolate. and
the little oddly-colored and oddly
shaped clay ware constitute the rest
of the kitchen supply.
Dining room dishes are practically

tween cruSts.
A Mexican bakery is an unsanitary
place in the eyes of an American The
Vienna rolls and fancy shaped pan
dulces are the only bread the average
panderia sells. These are displayed
on open counters, where each pur-
chaser fingers the entire lot in making
selection. 1t is a common sight to
see Vienna rolls piled up six feet high
against the grimy walls of the store,
almost black with a covering of flies.
Besides being thus exposed in the
baker shops, the bread in delivery is
carried around in open baskets on the
heads of poems, and a door to door
selection is made This allows ano-
Their lingering of the entire basket.
1t is daily sight to see nets filled
with Vienna rolls being carried around
on a woman's head, as the delivery is
made from large bakery to a small
bread shop. These nets are large
enough to almost hide the man under
meath, and, as he joys along the prin-
cipal streets, the rolls get full of dust
and germs.

strain that predominates. They are
usually boiled to tastelessnesS, seldom
fried. Molle, the national method OF
preparing these fowls, is boiled tur-
key or chicken, served in great dish
of gravy, made red with tomato, and
favored with onion, native seed and
chocolate.
Vegetables.
Mexican cooks as rule do not
season vegetables we'll. nor cook them
enough. The market in the city, par
ticularly, has a variety of fresh vege-
tables every month in the year, and
these are usually cheap. English
peas, string beans, June corn, cauli-
flower, tomatoes, and celery are pre-
pared as in American homes. Caraba-
nthus Ca firm yellow peal and calaba-
"a Ga pumpkin-like SQUASH are popu-
lar native vegetables. A combination
of peas, cabbage, carabanthus, carrots
and served all on one dish is very
common. Needless to add, all these
taste exactly alike after such treat
ment.
Tomatoes are of two varieties, the
red ones we know, and a hard-Shelled
green kind used in making gravies and
condiments.
White potatoes are mashed and
creamed, but most often boiled.
Frijoles (beans) are the main diet
of the poems, and last course before
dessert in an average home. These
beans come in black, red and white

No nation can serve the bean so ap-

has dish of beans simmering over a
slow fire. After two days of this, the
beans are read to be put into a fiat
dish and thickened by cooking down
with lard. Frijoles with salsa and tor

dessert

A Municipal Pier and Railway

The municipal pier recently dedicat
ed in Santa Cruz is the result Of the
work Of committee Of private citi
zens who realized the need for water
transportation facilities in addition to
rail facilities ut Santa Cruz in order
to forward the city's Industrial inter
ests. Santa Cruz in former years de-
pended entirely upon the Southern Pa
cific railroad The fine harbor which
Monterey hay provides made shipping
by water easily possible. however. The
citizens therefore voted almost unani-
mOusly in favor of issuing bonds in the
sum of $165.OUO for the building of
municipal pier. The pier was COM
pleted in December. It is little over
half mile long and eighty feet wide
at its outer end. A railway, also mu-
nicipally owned and operated. runs it's
entire length, and this connects with
the Southern Pacific railroad at it's
shore terminus, also with the Ocean
Shore railroad. Two lines of steamers
now touch at the port of Santa Cruz
1t is said that a decided Improvement
has already been observed in the city
as result Of the construction of the
municipal pier.

Take a glass of Salts to flush out your
Kidneys and neutralize rri-

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the

causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passe@ sometimes with q scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from 1l.ur pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass OF water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is source of

SULPHUR DRIES
Up ECZEMA AND
... STOPS / ITCHING
This old time skin healer is
used just like any
cold cream.

Sulphur, says renowned dermabol-
ogist, just common bold sulphur made
into q thick cream will soothe and heal
the skin when irritated and broken out
with Eczema or any form of eruption.
The moment it is applied all itching
ceases and after two or three applica-
tions the Eczema disappears, leaving the
skin clear and smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers to get from
any good pharmacy an ounce of bold
sulphur and apply it to the irritated
parts the same as you would any cold
cream.
For many years common bold sulphur
has occupied secure position in the
Practice OF dermatolosy and cutaneous
affections by reason of its parasite-de-
stroying property. 1t is not only para
siticidal, but also antipruritic, anti
septic and remarkably healing in all
irritable and intlammatory conditions of
the skin While not always effecting a
permanent cure it never fails to in
stantlv subdue the angry itching and
irritation and heal the Eczema right
up and it s often years later before
any eruption again appears on the skin.
