cut down operative cost.

Now Comes the $3.50 Price

And now comes another big reduction. We have
built additions which will double our capacity. We
have worked out countless new ideas in efficiency.
We are building here now, under ideal conditions,
more high-grade cars than were ever built in shop
AS result, giving you now the greatest value
ever known in a class car
Last year we reduced this car 5000. This year
we reduce it 5000 more. We are selling this model

Why This New-Day Type

This Hudson was the pioneer Of entirely
type of car. The type was conceived four years ago
by Howard E. Coffin, our famous chief designer. 1t
took him two years. aided by whole force, to work
out his conception.
The idea was refnement-the elimination of
crudiy-to result in a light staunch car The first
step was a new-ype motor, small bore, high speed By
a hundred engine parts.
The next step was aluminium in place of cast iron:
The next was special stees In the next, thousand
parts were re-designsd to combine Gghtness with
strength

The Vogue of Simplicity

Howard E. Coffin saw years ago that the trend
was toward simplicity. Now everybody knows it.
Excess and waste unpopular. Good taste now calls
for satisfaction without show
Thus Hudson has become the class car. It's
owners, in large part who have paid two and
three times its price Hudson yp6es the ideals of the
times. This fact is conspicuous, wherever you look
about.
All questions regarding this new-type have been
answered on the road There are 5000 Hudsons of
this type in use. In two years have driven them
many million miles And every owner vouches that
the car staunch. enduring, faultless as well as
economical.
Hudson now embodies all that any want
1t is the fine car of the modern type. Only those men
who still take pride in form of excess will Ind

BOY HERO SAVES PLAYMATE
George Hughes, Ten Years Old, Res
cues Companion From Wheels
Of Railroad Locomotive.

Washington, Pa. - Ten-year-old
George Hughes proved himself a hero
when his playmate, Paul Enoch, Of
the same age, became entangled in
the wheel of a moving railroad loco
motive on the Waynesburg and Wash
ington railroad here.
The two boys we're standing by the
track when Paul Enoch slipped and
his leg became entangled in the wheels
of the engine. Before 1t could be
stopped or anyone could reach him the
lad had been whirled around twice by
the wheels revolution. Then George
reached him and, grabbing his com
panion by the leg, pulled him free and
saved his life.
The boy was unconscious when res
cued, but physicians, who were i'm
mediately called, said that his only
serious injury was a deep cash in the
right leg. George Hughes was pro-
claimed a hero by the persons who
witnessed the rescue. He could not,
however, understand that he had done
anything remarkable, and insisted that
he merely grabbed his playmate and
pulled him out of the wheel.

BEANS AND BROWN BREAD
Appetizing Combination Not as Easy
TO Cook as Most People Seem
to Imagine.

When considering the results, the
bean and the bean pot are most i'm
portaDt. The bean pot must be brown
earthen, with a handle at the side
and a closely fitted cover with a white
glazed lining. The beans must be
pea beans. To a quart allow a pound
of salt pork, a solid chunk, lean and
fat about equally divided. Soak the
a over night in the bean pot.
In the morning set them on the
range and let the water Just come
to a boil, but do not let them cook
at all after that. Drain off the water
and take out about a oupful of the
beans. Pour boiling water over the
pork and score the rind with a sharp
knife. Put 1t into the center of the
bean pot and dispose the beans you
took out around it. On the rind place
a half a t%easpoonful of bicarbonate
of soda and three tablespoonfuls of
molasses.
Fill up the pot with boiling water,
cover closely and cook in a very slow
oven all day, filling up with boiling
water from time to time. If you use
a gas oven have the real burner lit
and turned down to the lowest point
of ignition and the door of the lower
oven open.
There are many recipes for the
so-called Boston brown bread. Some
call for rye meal and some for flour
to be used in combination with the
cornmeal. The following is the recipe
which the writer's family has used for
years, almost in sight of Bunker Hill,
so it deserves the name; One cupful
of cornmeal, one cupful of graham
flour, one cupful of white -four, three
fourths teaspoonful of soda, n tea
spoonful of salt, three-fourths cupful
of molasses and one and three-fourths
cupfuls of sweet milk. Mix the dry In
gradients, add the milk and molasses,
mix well and put in buttered molds.
Fill the molds about two-thirds full,
leaving space for the bread to rise.
Steam until the bread is done and then
set in a hot oven to brown. To cut
hot brown bread, draw a clean, strong,
white thread sharply and firmly across
the loaf, pushing it down equally on
either side. The result will be clean,
smooth slices, free from the sticki-
ness that comes from knife cutting.

QUITS HUSBAND FOR TRAMP
Woman Twice Crosses Continent With
Man Arrested With Her on
Serious Charge.

act.
According to information received
by Detective Captain Baty from True
Van Sickle, attorney, of Oakland, Cal,
Halstead caused the woman to desert
her husband and three children at
Oakland.
When they first fed, more than a
year ago, Halstead and the woman
worked their way to New York and
made the return trip in a similar man
ner.
Mrs. Slade is suffering from a dislo-
cation of one of her hips, the result
of a beating administered by Halstead
when he found out she had written to
her husband.
Evidence intended to show that Hal
stead is guilty of violating the federal
law was taken by the detectives and
turned over to the federal authorities.

National Religion of Russia.

Prince Vladimir of Russia, who
brought the Greek religion to Russia
in 9s2. preferred it because of its
oriental form, and thought itstood close
er to the Russian character than the
rites of the Roman. He made Kieff
the seat Of the metropolitan, while the
patriarch remained just the same In
Constantinople. But Peter the Great
forbade the Russian clergy to recog-
nize the foreign patriarch, and found
ed the Holy Synod in 1872, which be-
came the head of the Russian church.
There are about 10000 monks and
10000 priests in Russia, the former
celibates, the latter married. Besides
there are some 5000 nuns with $50
converts. of which Novo Devitchy is
the largest of all.

An old ham is best, but any thor

Scrape 1t all over with a blunt-edgedI
knife, then sprinkle we'll with a good
washing powder and scrub in tepid wa

then throw in a pint of cold water
and let II stand two or three minutes;
skim off the scum, then throw into the
pot a dozen whole cloves, as many
allspice and black peppercorDs, a.
small pod OF red pepper, slit length
wise, and a blade of mace. Watch
closely, and when boiling begins lessen
the heat SO that there will be bare
simmering. The water must stand
two inches above the meat-fll the
boiler up as it wastes away. Keep on
the lid, but loosely, and let the ham
simmer until it is very tender-the
time depends upon the age, weight
and hardness of the ham. When the
haunch bone shows a little through
the meat the ham is likely to be done.
Let it cool in the water in which ID
was boiled, take 1t out, drain well and
trim off the rusty fat from the edges
and a little of the smoke daTkened
tesl underneath. (The hook had bet
ter be sawed off before boiling, but II
that has not been done, loose the pro-
jecting bones and cut to a neat
end.) Skin carefully. Then stick
all over the fat portion whole cloves
in a lozenge pattern, after which,
dust thickly with black pepper and
paprika, sprinkle lightly with soft
sugar, and fit the ham into a deep
agate or earthenware vessel Pour
in sound claret or sweet cider and
let it soak six hours. Then PIT on
a low rack in IN agate pan, pour the
soaking liquor around and bake very
slowly from one to two hours, &C
cordlng to size. Basic with the liquor
in the pan two or three times each
half hour; as the liquor e~vaporates
add either cold water or more wire or
cider. If the ham is very fat cool
the pan after taking it up, and re-
move most of the grease on top; then
add a dash of boiling water, a light
seasoning of herbs am ten drops of
onion juice; cook for three minutes,
stirring constantly, and then pour ito
your gravy boat. Pass with the ham,;
else use the V stews and minces.
1t is, perhaps, worth while to add
that in judging a ham, dry, b~lack-greeni
mold upon the flesh side is ranked by
epicures the hallmark of excellence.
highly desirable. D
To approximate fairly the famous
French connection, jambon au madere,
you should pour the boiling water on
the ham while it is still hot, after
the ham is done, then let it simmer
for an hour in enough of either ClaretI
or cider to foat it, turning the ham
from time to time and letting i cool
in the liquor.
