WOVEN TABLE MATS POPULAR
For Use Under Hot Dishes Nothing
More Satisfactory Has Ever Been
Put on Market.

Nothing has ever been found more
satisfactory to put under hot dishes
than the old-fashioned woven table
mats, and of late there has been quite
a revival in their favor, especially as
it does not require any great amount
of ingenuity to learn how to manipu-
late the frames upon which they are
woven
These frames come in a box contain
ing several sizes, so that a set for
meat dishes and several sizes in vege-
table dishes may be made.
After being woven on the frame
crosswise, the points where the
crossed threads pass each other are
caught and knotted with either white
or light-colored twist. In cutting the
finished mat off from the frame, a
.fringed edge is formed and the mat
not only launders well, but literally
lasts forever. The writer has a set
of these mats made quite ten years
ago by deft old lady. These have
been in constant use, some of them
washed each week and they have
scarcely yet begun to show signs Of
wear.-Exchange

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottlesof the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plicatiOn or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick aud glossy

No Task for Tyros.

One of the men at the front has told
us how he tried to milk cow-with-
out the expected result. This is not
an easy task for an Impractical hand.
Leslie stephen was once on long
tramp in Switzerland, accom- panied
by his friend, Doctor Morgan. They
missed their way and found them
selves. parched and hungry. far from
any dwelling place. At length they
came across a COW. from whom they
determined to extract some nourish-
ment. but after trying their best for an
hour. each holding on to her horns in
turn, they had to abandon all hopes
Of milk. This, remarks Doctor Nor
gan, is "one of the very few occasions
on which | ever saw Stephen fairly
thwarted"

TO SERVE WITH LUNCH
SUGGESTIONS FOR DISHES EASY
TO COMPOUND.
VIII Frequently Be Found Valuable
In Emergencies That All House
wives Experience - Piquant
Suggestions From France.

Hors d'oeuvres are an essential part
of the French dejeuner, but here they
are not often served at the family
luncheon. They are often convenient,
however, to exc out and give a little
appetizer to a luncheon that might
otherwise be scanty, and a few good
ideas for hors d'oeuvres and savories
are valuable for the housewife. Here
are few sample recipes that can be
made and worked into luncheon at
the last moment:
Deviled SardInes.-Take .sardines,
warm them in their own oil, add a
little lemon juice. season highly with
salt, pepper and English sauce, serve
very hot on small rounds of toast.
SaVory Toast.-Chop very finely, or
run through a meat chopper. any
pieces of cold chicken, beef, ham or
tongue. Pound 10 a paste with the
yolks of two hard boiled eggs, a piece
of butter, pepper, salt, a little Chut-
ney and Worcestershire. Spread rath-
er thickly on thin strips of toast and
set in the oven to heat
Cheese canapes.-Cut bread into
pieces one-half an inch thick, then
stamp them into circles with a biscuit
cutter. Saute the bread in a little
butter until it is of an amber color on
both sides. Cover the slices with
thick layer of grated cheese, sprinkle
with salt, pepper and a dash of cay
enne. Fifteen minutes before the
time to serve place them in the oven
for a few minutes to soften the
cheese.
AnchoVy Canapes.-Spread strips of
fried bread with thin layer of an
chOvy paste, Sprinkle over the top
alternate rows of the white and yolks
of hard boiled eggs chopped very fine.
Sardine canapes are made by pound
ing the sardines to a paste, spread
ing it on strips of fried bread and
sprinkling the top with some sort Of
chopped pickle.
Stuffed Egss.-Cut hard boiled eggs
in halves. Take out the yolks care
fully and mix them with an equal
quantity of softened bread crumbs;
season highly with a little butter, salt
and pepper Moisten with any sauce;
add little raw egg. Fill the whites
from which the yolks were taken,
round off the tops smoothly, slice a
small piece off the bottom, so that the
eggs will stand upright. and serve.
Any fiavoring or seasoning that is
liked may be added to the mixture for
stuffing eggs-mayonnaise, mustard,
mushroom, tomato, or they may be
mixed with French dressing.

apple, with just a dust of nutmeg,
three-fourths cupful brown sugar and
grated rind and juice of one-half lem

done. Lift the crust and pour in pint
Of rich boiled custard Replace crust
and serve cold. This is a very old
fashioned Dutch dish and is delicious.
Whipped cream is very nice in place
of the custard. but if cream is used
heap it up high and do not replace the
upper crust.

ICED COFFEE OR CHOCOLATE
Ideal Beverages to Be Served at Card
Party or Other informal En-
tertainment.

To serve between games at a card
party. try iced coffee or chocolate.
For the coffee, make enough of what
is known as clear black after-dinner
coffee to fill at least two wine or
sherbet glasses for each guest. Sweet
en- this while it is hot and set aside
to cool. Then pour it into large
bottle or pitcher and set in a pail or
deep kettle, packing ice around it.
When ready to serve pour into
glasses three-quarters full and heap
on top either sweetened and whipped
cream, or a tablespoonful of ice
cream.
Iced chocolate.-Melt two squares
of chocolate in a double boiler and
add cupful of graduated sugar and
a cupful of water. Let this mixture
cook from the fire, add a teaspoonful
of vanilla and set away to chill in a
pitcher. When ready to serve half fill
large mixing glass with chopped ice.
add two tablespoonfuls of the choco-
late strip, fill up the glass with good
sweet milk, cover with a shaker and
shake thoroughly, strain into glasses
and put whipped cream on top of each.
Do not mix more than a large glass
of this at time. 1t will make three
small glasses. This method is much
better than boiling the chocolate and
milk and then chilling, which usually
forms a sediment.

ARGUES FOR JITNEY CHARTER
Charles G. stroh Asks for It-Dr. Stine
Calls for More Details

A subcommittee of the Public Serv-
ice Commission, with Commissioner
Wright as chairman, this morning
heard the application of the Harrisburg
Jitney Transportation Company for the
approval of its charter. This is the
company that proposes to install the jit-
ney service in Harrisburg. Charles C.
Stroh appeared for the charter appli-
cants, asserting that all of the legal
requirements for the securing of char
ter had been complied with and re-
questing approval.
DR.. H. NJ Slime, secretary of the AS
sociated Electric Railway Companies,
while not opposing the charter, insisted
that there should be some regulation
whereby the applicants should be made
to disclose the names of the streets on
which it is proposed to operate the jit-
ney service. At present, he contended,
the intentions as to routes are very
vague and there should be something
more explicit.
Mr.. Stroh held that at present the
only matter to be considered was the
approval of the charter, and, so far as
regulations were concerned, that was
something that could be taken up later.
The subcommittee will place the
matter before meeting of the full
Commission before adjournment this
week, and action will be announced la

late WAR news SUMMARY


Continued From First rage
towo, one Russian Battalion being an
initiated.
Two Russian delegates have arrived
at Sofia, Bulgaria, to arrange for rail-
way communication between Russia and
Saloniki, Greece. The Sofia dispatch
containing this announcement does not
explain by what means this could be
accomplished, as it would involve the
use of railways through neutral coun-
tries. Neither is it explained that
Russia desires to use the railroads for
military purposes.
Another attempt to force the Darda-
nelles apparently is under way. An Of
fetal announcement from Constantin-
ople states that d cruiser and torpedo
boat were struck by shells during a
bombardment of the outer forts on
Monday. The bombardment, 1t is said,
was without results and no serious at
tack was attempted yesterday. No OFF,
cial confirmation h rs come from Lon
don or Paris concerning this fighting.
The Turkish War Office reports re-
sumption of hostilities in the Caucasian
campaign. It announces that a Rus
sian force advanced on the Turks near
the frontier, but was driven back to
Russian territory, and that the Turks,
after 1S hours Of hard fighting, occu-
pied several Russian towns.
The Rome correspondent of Paris
newspaper telegraphs that Italy and
Serbia are at the point of concluding
an agreement under which Italy will
not object to Serbia's acquisition of
territory on the Adriatic, provided it
is not fortified. If this agreement is
concluded, as is expected, the CORE
spondent says, Italy's participation in
the war may be considered imminent.
/. German newspapers make few COM
ments on the American note to Great
Britain and France concerning the plan
of the allies for cutting off trade to
and from Germany. One newspaper,
however, expresses the opinion that the
United States is making ''far-reach-
ing retreat and is surrendering the
principle that blockade must be ef-
fective.
