COMMISSION PLAN ; ADVOCATES READY
 FOR NEW EFFORTS
Citizens Invited to Meet Next Wednesday Night to Ar
 range Campaign.

A meeting of aI citizens interested in commission form of government has been called at the board of trade rooms in the Newheld building next Wednesday evening at o'clock when plans will be- formulated to have a committee named to draw up a com mission form of government charter. It has been found that the home rule bill giving municipalities the right to change their form of governm ent does not go into effect until August and it is not believed that the spe- cial election can be held and the change made to commission form, to have it become operative when the coming municipal election takes place.
 At a, meeting held in the Newfield building last night the executive com mittee of the Commission Form of Government league mapped out the following program which it is propos- ed to, press in order to carry out the change in favor of which the people have voted:
 Circulate Commission Govern
 ment petitions until 1900 or
 more registered voters have been
 secured as signers.
 Present petitions to mayor and
 common council, thereby bring 9 ing about the calling of Ia Com
 mission Government referendum
 election.
 If the Commission Government
 idea is again endorsed by the
 people at this election, a com
 nittee will be appointed to draft
 a charter, and this will be sub
 rnitted for the approval of the
 voters at a subsequent election.
 In order to be finally success
 full, the charter election must
 bring out at least 60 per cent. of
 the registered vote, and the char
 ter must be endorsed by ma
 jority of those voting. , Petitions will be &epared and cir culated at once for the 1,s0O sigma lures.

YELLOW STRIPES AS
SING SING PENALTY

0ssining, \. Y, July 19-Members
of the Mutual Welfare league, the self
rule organization of the inmates Of
Sing Sing prison, have adopted a novel
method OF inhicting punishment for
attempts TO escape from prison or vio-
Iation of prison rules.
Suspension from the privileges of
the league is the basis of the punish
ment Offenders who are suspended
for fve days or more will be compelled
to wear a yellow circle as large as an
orange on the breast OF their gray
shirts.
Those suspended for 10 days or more
must wear not only the yellow circle
but yellow stripe down the middle Of
the back. In case of suspension for
20 days yellow stripes on the trouser
legs will be worn. The heads of all
Offenders suspended for 80 days will
be shaved and in addition they must
wear yellow stripes.
Warden Thomas NJ Osborne said
that the idea originated with the pris-
oners and was based on the feeling
that if man offends against the rules
he shows the yellow inside Of himself
and they devised this plan to show
/ the same color on his uniform.
Two prisoners found intoxicated
from drinking q mixture of alcohol and
water will be the first TO wear the
yellow stripes.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am young
married woman; have been married
four years and have two children I
have no mother to go TO, and so
come TO you. My husband comes from
family that has had very little bring
ing up and are too ignorant to know
what to do. He is good to me and the
children; does not mistreat US or go
out nights or spend his money foolish
~ But he has one bad mistake, which
Is that when we have quaTrels he'll
use slang language, swear and tell me
anything that comes into his mind.
Some things break my heart. Now /
admit that / am not perfect, / am
stubborn and have many faults, too.
But I think if he loved me he would
try to stop this, although ne is sorry
for what he says afterward- He tells
me that he loves me Just the same,
but it's his temper that's got the bet
ter Of him. I also admit that when
we have quarrels I throw up things
about his parents 10 him / cannot
help doing this. because they do moth
ing but make trouble. They come to
our house drunk and start trouble [
have forbid their coming more than
once, but they don't seem to care
what I say. Every time they come to
our house there is sure to be quar-
rel, which they always start It gets
me so disguised that I'm afraid there1l
be Just one qU2rreI TOO often and that
it will end all. I don't know if I'm
right or wrong, so tell me what TO do
and how to treat them.

would advise you to try to smooth
out few wrinkles in your own dispo-
sition. Never show stubbornness
whatever happens and you will no
tice a change in your husbands dis
position. Forgive his shortcomings
readily and by all means never refer
to the misfortune of his parents, and
your troublesome quarrels of the past
will become helpful discussions in the
future. After you have ceased to be
stubborn and show willingness TO for
give do not think your husband will
have occasions to use slang and pro-
fame Language. BE as kind and forgiv-

CAMPTNG RECIPES.

Hoecake-Take two cups of corn
meal and pour over it enough boiling
water to wet it all and swell the
grain. Then mix to the consistency
OF a thin batter with more hot water
adding salt to taste. Heat the griddle
quite hot over the gypsy campfire,
grease it with a bit OF salt pork. and
then pour on the corn batter in a
thin cake. When the cake is parched
on one side turn on the other and
serve hot with butter It takes
about five minutes TO cook each cake,
but if it is made the size OF a large
griddle it viii do for three persons.
Fried Ffsh-If a supply of fresh
fnny creatures is handy, whether
these are caught by the party or not,
dish of hot fried fish will prove
delicious event at an open air meal.
After the fish have been scaled and
cleaned wash them in several cold
waters and then dry thoroughly on a
clean cloth. Use the small ones
whole, leaving on the heads, and cut
the other in fair-sized pieces. Salt
and pepper and dip lightly in corn,

in the frying pan, and when there is
enough fat fry the fish a nice brown
on both sides. Serve them ON little
wooden plates, covering each with
big, clean oak leaf.
Steamed Mussels-Visitors to the
seashore are well acquainted with
these little bivalves, which, despite
some belief in their being unfit fol
the human stomach, make the most
delicious eating. The safest supply
lis gathered from the big rocks sub
merged by the tides, with the gather

Take only the musseIs with shells

death. Wash the mussels off first in
sea water, freeing them of weeds
and mud with an old kitchen knife
Then give them several baths in
fresh water. Put half peck in a
big pot, pour over half a cup Of wa
