MANY USES FOR SARDlNES
Suggestions for Dishes That Will Be Appreciated by Those Fond of
 the DeIicacy.

Combined with tomatoes, sardines make delicious sandwiches Pound a dozen of them to paste with little butter, squeeze some lemon juice over them and season with cayenne pepper. Butter thin slices of bread and cover with the mixture. On this place some thin slices of tomato, add pepper and salt, and cover with a slice of bread.
 A pimento-sardine salad is both un- usual and toothsome. Remove the bones from the sardines. chop and mix with an equal quantity each Of chop ped pimentos and celery and one=third the quantity each of olives and nut meats. Chill and serve in border of jellied tomato with a rich mayonnaise dressing.
 Stuffed sardines are tasty for infor- nal lunches and suppers. and are cas- fly prepared. Select the boneless va riety which are put up in oil, open and fill with Parmesan cheese, press to- gether and serve with sliced lemon.
 Chilled sardines are good. Wash can of large sardines and heat in a ta- blespoonful of butter Pour over them a white sauce seasoned with a table sauce. lemon and parsley. Serve on toast

LOOK INTO YOUR CELLAR
Plenty of Air and Unslaked Lime Make for Health, Says Writer
 of Experience.

Householders seldom know that their cellars are the storehouses from whence comes 50 per cent of the air of the first floor and 30 per cent of that on the floor above. If they did there would not be so many dank and noi- some places filled with refuse and mold, spiders, cobwebs and mice, to say nothing of decayed vegetables and fruits, writer in Mothers Magazine observes. Vapors from all these com bine to penetrate the whole house and add their poison to the air that is breathed by those living above them. Every cellar, even if kept free from dirt. should be ventilated as carefully in winter as in summer. A musty smell shows that mold plants are grow ing and are waiting to attack fruit and vegetables Cold will not kill these destructive germs. There should be plenty of air let in the cellar every clear day Moisture-laden air en- tering it condenses on the walls and pipes and soon makes it so damp that it is G menace to the house. All eel lars should have dishes of unslaked lime in them; this takes up moisture with avidity. When the lime crum- bles. losing entirely it's crystalline character, it has become slsked and will take up no more moisture. It should then be renewed

Immense Output Follows Discov-
 cry of Metal in California.
For Eleven Years, From 1850 to 1861, the Yield Was Prodigious, Amount ing in 1852 to Over
 $65,ooo,ooo.

Washington.-"The historically im- portant discovery of gold in California was made in January. 1S4S, at John Sutter's mill on South Fork of Ameri- can river, near Colema. a point only ten or fifteen miles southwest of the town of Auburn" says a statement by the geological survey.
 From 1850 to 1853 the greatest yield was derived from the gravels, and the largest annual output for this period was more than S65. 100000 in 1852. There was some reaction in 1854, due to previous wild speculation, but a production of about $50,000,0OO a year, chiefly from placer mines, was maintained up to 1861.
 At first the gold was won chiefly from the gravels along the present streams. Those who first got posses sion of the rich bars on American. Tuba, Feather and Stanislaus rivers and some of the smaller streams in the heart of the gold region made at times from s1.000 to S5,000 a day. In 1S4s 5000 to s700 a day was not un- usual luck; but. on the other hand the income of the great majority of miners was far less than that of men who seriously devoted themselves to trade or even to common labor.
 'The gold pan. the rocker, the tom the sluice and the hydraulic giant. or monitor named in the order of increasing efficiency, were the tools sueeessiyely used by the miners. Into the rocker and the tom the miner shoveled gravel or dirt rocking the machine as he poured in water and catching the gold often with the aid of quicksilver. on rifles set across the bottom of his box Sometimes a stream was diverted into Hume to lay bare the gravel in its bed so that the miner could get at it,
 Tn sluicing. the gravel was show eled into similar but much longer box through which a stream of water was allowed to run.
 "The hydraulic giant was employed to wash into long riffle-set sluices i'm mense quantities of gravel, especially from the higher (Tertiary) deposits

Most Popular Houses.

Perhaps the most popular types of dwellings being built at present are the twofamily and three-family houses. The reason for this is not hard to understand when one consid CTS that the rented apartment or apartments in such house carry all interest taxes, water rates and insur anee, and that any money paid in by the owner is in the nature of decreas. ing the mortgage, so that in time these payments will pay for the house and he will own it free and clear.
 An additional feature of the two family or three-family house is that after the house is fully paid for the rentals furnish steady income and means for the upkeep of the whole building.

Prepare for Cold Weather

When the cold winds of autumn be- gin to blow new cares and responsi- bilities confront the poultryman and woman. Broods of chickens which have been scattered here and there in order to keep them separated must be gathered in and housed. for the severe weather of the winter is at hand.
 Supplies of vegetables must be stored. gravel for the hens and sand for the ducks must be boxed or stored away in the dry while still finer sand or fine earth must be procured for the much needed dust bath Straw or some kind of clean litter must be forthcom- ing for scratching material to keep the biddes busy through the long dark days of winter Idle hens are not lay- ing hens Even the forest and fruit tree leaves may be utilized for this purpose.

PREPARE HOUSE FOR WINTER
First Move Should Be in Direction of leanliness-Disinfect Before
 Furnishing New Litter.

Before the cold weather comes on, put the hen house in winter shape, says raiser of chickens in an ex- change. The first move should be in the direction of cleanliness. Remove every movable object, boxes. barrels, etc. sweep thoroughly overhead and underfoot. after scraping out all drop pings. Then disinfect before refflling scratch-litter. Whitewash with un- slacked lime to which kerosene has been added, if other insecticides seem too expensive. and lay it on generous ly. Paris green in the wash is excel. lent as germ killer, but fill all cracks everywhere
 Next If water is prone to freeze in the eoldest weather, make the hennery warm with dead air space between the walls and a sheathing of building paper. l recommend a cheap grade of paper because it will need to be torn on in the spring when the periodical drive against insects is inaugurated Then put on a storm door, however rude. to overlap the cracks around tho ordinary entrance, disinfect drinking dishes, look to ventilation without drafts. and make sure that the floor is warm, even if a banking of earth or sawdust has to be applied Put in big supply of road dust for baths and plenty of gravel and sharp grit
 Now cull the flock and get the rest adapted to the changed appearance of things early, so the laying which is revived after molting. will not receive a setback, as is usually the case after any abrupt alteration.

The poultry house shown in the ac- companying illustration will appeal particularly to those who wish to keep the largest possible number of egg producing birds in a limited space. and is particularly constructed to give protection against cold. damp and wind. It really consists of an outer shed with a gabled roof covering the entire floor space, and an inner con struction with a non-eonducting roof to neutraIize changes of temperature. The whole floor, with the exception of a passage at the back. is scratching space.

MAKING MEAT SAFE
Sixty Per Cent Killed UnGer Fed
 eral Inspection.
Hundred Million Meat Animals Saugh- tered Each Year in United States Tuberculosis Is Chief Cause
 of Condemnation.

Washington.-Mor than 5S,000,000 meat animals were slaughtered in es- tabishments under federal inspection during the fiscal year ending June 30. 1915. Since approximately from 5S to 50 per cent of the animals killed in the country are slaughtered in estab- lishments where federal inspection is maintained. it appears that about l00.- 100000 meat animals are now being killed each year in the United States.
 Of the animals subjected to federal inspection. 299,95S were condemned as unfit for human use. and 644, ,6Ss were condemned in part. Thus litle more than F per cent of all the animals inspected were condemned either in whole or in part. These figures in clude only cattle, calves. sheep, goats and swine
 Tuberculosis was the chief cause of the condemnations More than 32,6i4 carcasses of cattle and 66,OO0 car casses of swine were entirely rejected on account of this disease and in ad. dition. parts of 4S.000 cattle and 10000 swine. Hog cholera was responsible for the next largest loss, nearly l02,- 600 swine being condemned entirely on this account.
 The annual appropriation for the fed eral meat inspection service is now about s3,375,0 900. so that the cost to the people would be between 3 and 6 cents per animal and earcasses. In addition, however. great quantities of the meat and products are re-inspected. In this item there was very considerable in- crease during the last fiscal year, the re-inspeetion resulting in the condem= nation of total of nearly 19000,000 pounds of products of one kind or another Furthermore 245,000,o00 pounds of imported meat or meat prod ucts were inspected, and more than 2,000,00 pounds condemned or refused entry.
 In the course of it's work, the bu- reau of animal industry. which is in charge of the meat inspection service. has discovered a new method of de- stroying trichinae in pork. which is an additional safeguard to human health. Refrigeration at a tempera- ture of degrees. F., or lower, for a period of 20 days, will destroy these parasites which occasionally give rise in human beings to the serious dis ease known as trichinosis. Hitherto the only known safeguard against this disease has been thorough cooking Of all pork and pork products, and those persons who neglect this precaution have always been more or less exposed to the danger. Unless pork is known to have been subjected to refrigeration as above indicated it should be thor oughly cooked. The microscopic ex. animation of pork for the detection of trichinae has been abandoned as the usual methods have proved inefficient.
 In this connection it is interesting to note that more swine were slaughtered in tho past year in establishments un- der federal inspection than ever be- fore. total of 36,247953 were in spected at the time of slaughter. and approximately 35,90o,00o passed for food.

WALL NEED NOT BE UGLY
Builder Who Works With Good Taste Can Achieve Results That Are
 of the Best.

There is no reason why brick wall should be so dull and monotonous, for there are numerous methods for brick walls of which any clever architect or bricklayer might make use, says writer in the Dayton Journal. Some times there is a clause in the specifi- cations calling for more or less orna- mentations of otherwise blank walls.
 In Holland, where much brick is used in domestic architecture, brick men take delight in showing their skill in making brickwork and nearly every cottage shows specimens of their handicraft.
 It is not the best thing to do to select bricks for facings if the bricks are sound and right in texture. It is pretty safe to say that labor put into that special picking is worse than thrown away, is positively injurious, and that all those slabs of raw, harsh color might have been rendered soft and harmonious by using the bricks just as they came out of the kiln, with all the perceptible and imperceptible graduations of tone conferred upon them by the accidents of burning
 Your great bare spaces will be full of variety and interests of what paint CTS call quality" but without preju- dice to the breadth of treatment, be- cause the smallness of the individual bricks distributes the variation of color so subtly over the whole surface that only those who are "in the know" can realize how it came about. And, of course, the larger the surface the wider the diversity of color that can be introduced without disturbing the general tone

The telephone directory has almost displaced the city directory, because of the completeness of the former and it's accessibility The last New York city telephone directory contains 350,- 000 listings for 566.0 GOO telephones in the city. The first telephone directory. issued in 1878, consisted of a card containing the names of 252 subscrib- CTS. The present directory has 970 pages. and an edition of 610.000 copies has been distributed The preparation of the directory consumed fifty car loads of paper, seven tons of ink and 230 miles of binding wire.
