Household Recipes
Recipe for Camphor Ice.

An excellent camphor ice that
agrees perfectly with many skins and
whitens them marvelously can be
made as follows:
White wax. one-half ounce: almond
oil, one-half ounce: white vaseline,
one oupSs' camphor' one eighth of an
ounce. Mix together and dissolve in
the manner already described for the
cold cream.
Pour into n shallow dish and when
cold cut into cubes. This can be rub
bed over the hands several times
day.
Cheese FOndue.
A practical fondue, nicely adapted to
the chatting dish, consists of cupful of
fresh bread crumbs and two cupfuls of
grated cheese. Beat two eggs to a froth,
melt a tablespoonful of butter in your
dish over the hot water pan and add a
CupfUl of milk, a tiny pinch of soda, the
bread crumbs and grated cheese. Season
to taste with salt and paprika, and cook
until smooth. Stir continually for about
five minutes. Finally add the eggs. and
stir three minutes longer. The bicar-
Donate of soda furnishes the salts of
potash found in juice of fresh meat and
vegetables, an element in which cheese
Is lacking.
Breakfast Bacon.
II IS almost an insult to 8 fastidious
appetite to serve soSGy bacon cooked
after the manner employed by our Eng
lish cousins. Bacon, 20 be acceptable,
should be crisp and ready to crumble In
the mouth. You may produce this result
by frying it in deep, hot fat. and allow
ing it to drain on porous paper. or by
boiling it under a gas flame or over Goals.
In the latter case it should be turned
constantly. Serve your bacon on a bed

draining them well. season with salt and
pepper and put them aside until they are
required. Cut q large onion into slices,
three tablespoonfuls Of butter.
Add two tomatoes. sliced and cut into
small pieces, and as soon as the onion
begins to acquire a golden color, sprinkle
in a tablespoonful of curry powder and
let it cook very gently for ten minutes.
Pour in three cups of boiling water. and
when the sauce has boiled. draw the pan
to the side of the stove and let 1t simmer
gently for a quarter of an hour. Then
add n tablespoonful of tomato catsup,
teaspoonful of vinegar. two teaspoonfuls
Of lemon juice and the beans. Cover with
buttered paper and place the stewpan in
a moderately hot oven for an hour. The
curry should be carefully stirred once or
twice during the time and the heat should
not be allowed to increase or the curry
will, be too dry when done.

Once or twice a week the child may

According TO Dr. Hugh Cabot a
Boston surgeon, women doctors arc
"all right in certain cases" but they
can never make as good doctors as

Dr. Cabot is further quoted in his
address at the Massachusetts Gen.
ersI Hospital:
1T seems to have been a mistake to
believe that the woman medical stu

Does not this criticism apply with
equal force to 90 per cent of men
doctors as against the exceptional few
who demonstrate 4 real capacity for
medical practice? Men are not born
to be good doctors any more than they
are born to be good lawyers. and if
they are given the benefit OF the

On the first day of the present ses-

many were proposed in the house is
not stated. but undoubtedly the
number was large. Moreover. there
are many days left upon which bills
and resolutions may be proposed
and the mills will continue 10 grind
until congress adjourns.
Only an infnitesimal number Of
these bills will ever become laws.
The great majority of them will not
even be considered in committee.
but enough useless legislative pro-
posals will remain to clog both
houses of congress, TO prevent in
telligent and speedy consideration Of
the really important matters. Some
bill will doubtless be passed that
should not be passed, but the worst
phase of these indiscriminate pro-
posals is the obstacle they interpOse
not only TO careful consideration by
congress Of really important mat
tiers, but To public knowledge Of
what congress is doing.
