SOME SIMPLE FOOD TESTS
How Ptomaine Poisoning Can Be
Avoided b. Testing Contents of
Can for Copper.

Chicory is not harmful and some
like it, but when we buy coffee we
don't want to pay coffee price for chic
DRY. To find out whether you are buy
ing the real thing. put a tablespoonful
of the coffee in a glass; pour cold wa
ter over it, and watch
If the coffee is pure the water will
hardly be stained. If chicory is pres
ent it turns the water a deep brown
color.
Here is a good test for canned
foods; Put bright, clean steel knife
in the contents directly you open the
can. Leave for a minute. If copper is
present it will be seen on the knife's
blade and you've escaped ptomaine
poisoning.
Fresh eggs will always sink in wa
ter. Stale eggs have smooth and
CLASSY shells; fresh eggs have a lime
like surface.

TO CAN FRUIT IN OVEN
BY This Method Fruit Retains its
Shape, Cc1or and Flavor to
Remarkable Extent.

Cooking canned fruit in the oven IS
easily and quickly done, while the
fruit retains its shape, color and fla.
Vor better than when cooked in a pre-
serving kettle.
Cover the bottom of the oven with
a sheet of asbestos, the same as used
by plumbers for covering furnace
pipes. This is very reasonable at any
plumbing shop. If it is impossible to
purchase the asbestos, use large pan
in which. there is about two inches
OF boiling water. Thoroughly sterilize
the jars and utensils. Make the strip
of sugar and water as sweet as need
ed. Prepare the fruit the same as
for cooking in the preserving kettle.
Fill the hot jars with this, pouring in
sufficient strip to fill the Jar. Run
the blade of silver knife around the
inside of each jar. Never use a steel
knife) Place the Jars in the oven
either on the asbestos or in the open
pan of water.
The oven should be moderately hot.
Cook the fruit ten minutes. Remove
from the oven and fill each jar with
boiling strip. Wipe and seal. If the
screw covers are used, tighten them
after the glass has thoroughly cooled.
Large fruits may require a pint of
strip to each quart jar of fruit The
small fruit will require a little over
half a pint Of the sirup-Ladies'
World.

Kitchen Tables.

Two tables in the kitchen lessen
work, one preferably uncovered to
be used for such rough work as pre-
pairing vegetables and meats and dish
ing up meals, the other for general
convenience. Close to the first which
should be on casters but stand near
sink and stove, should be meat-block,
meat-saw, meat-knife, small cleaver,
food-chopper or a bowl and chopping
knife, pairing knife, vegetable cutters,
skewers, basting spoons and such
other articles as are frequently used
at this table.

NO GUN ON BOARD is CLAIM
putes Report of United States
Consul.

Montreal, Que, Sept. There was
no gun aboard the liner Hesperian, &C.
cording to an opinion expressed by
Andrew II. Allan of the Allan line, in
comm enting on the dispatch of the
American consul in Queenstown, which
indicated that the seamer had Al
rife mounted astern.
Il am practically certain there was
no gun mounted on the Hesperian,"
said Mr.. Allan. I'VE have no guns
mounted on any Of our ships unless
they have been taken over by the gov
eminent for use as transports. Then
they can arm them as they like, for
they are then Classed as auxiliary
warships.
But our passenger liners are not
armed in any way, and when the Hes
perian sailed from Montreal she GER
tainly carried no gun. She was in
port in England a week and we have
no information whatever that during
that time anything was done to her in
the way Of putting on gun. A Al is
pretty big gun-it was with guns
OF this calber that the naval brigade
did such fine work when going to the
relief of Ladysmith-and in order to
mount one of them Oh a liner the
whole of the inside OF the ship would
have to be braced up. | don't think it
possible that a gun could have been
mt on the Hpsnprian"

JUDGE KNOWLES SLAIN
ASSASSIN SHOOTS RHODE ISLAND
JURIST TO DEATH.
Victim Shot From Ambush While on
Way to Take Car for Town
Had Several Enemies.

Providence. r. l., Sept. 7.-Justice
Willis S. Knowles of the Eighth judi
cial district was assassinated just
after he had left his bungalow in
| North Scituate 10 take a trolley car
| for Providence. He received three bull
let wounds, two in the back and one
in the jaw. The attack occurred about
a hundred yards from the house and
apparently the shots came from
bushes that lined the village road
leading to the car line.
After having been wounded at least
once, the justice turned back and
nearly regained the gate opening into
his place when he fell dead.
The murder was witnessed by no
one except the assassins, who es-
capped. Later the police detained two
men on suspicion. They are Italian
laborers and, according to the police.
one of them carried a loaded revolver.
The body was found by Knowles
housekeeper, Mrs. Warddell, who had
run from the house when she heard
the shots fred. As she reached the
lawn she says she heard a mans
voice with a foreign accent cry:
Now, judge, I've got you" She saw
no one. but that the voice came from
the shrubbery.
Justice Knowles was forty-eight
years Of age and unmarried. His legal
residence was at Cranston, but he had
occupied the bungalow at North Sci
tuate this summer. His Office was in
Providence.
The police are proceeding on the
theory that he was killed in revenge
by some litigant against whom he had
given a decision His circuit was
made up of the city of Cranston and
the towns of Johnston, Foster and
Scituate, in each Of which he held
court once week.
The police subsequently exonerated
the two Italians detained. They are
looking for a man who once was taken
into custody at the instigation of
Justice Knowles, who alleged that the
man had threatened his life.
