DRIED FRUITS in DESSERTS
Properly Used, II May Be Made to
Serve to as Good Purpose
as the Fresh.

Dried fruit is quite as nice as fresh,
but II has been overworked in the al
legged interest of economy. II win
make dessert second to none, II
properly used.
The covered enameled ware casse-
role is the proper cooking utensil for
dried fruit. Let 1t soak over night.
and cook very slowly, and It will re-
gain its shape and also its finest fla
vor. In addition It should have some
sort of accompanying flavor. Prunes
soaked in Just enough wine to cover
them and then cooked in this way
taste like something costly. Apricots
cooked with raisins are EoeS. So are
dried apples cooked in the good, old.
fashioned way, in cider. A mixture
of two or three kinds of dried fruit, all
cooked together, is good. Dried peaches
add little vanilla to the strip when
they are done. Dried cherries are not
used here to any extent, but in Eng.
land, where the cherry is an old and
famous fruit, they are used with cur
rants in plum cake, and very nice they
are. 1t is perfectly practicable to use
any sort of dried fruit, cooked slowly
in this way, to add flavor to bread pud.
dings or steamed puddings. The fruit
can be either mixed with the bread
pudding or put in the dish with the
bread on top, or in layers; but when
it is used the bread should not be
soaked in milk; the fruit Juice will
make enough moisture, and the bread
should merely be soaked enough in
water to make it soft, and cooked
with the fruit, covered.

COLLIE HERO KILLS SNAKE
Dog Sacrifices Own Life to Save That
Of His six-Year-oId Mis-
tress.

Don, collie dog owned by John
Miller of Fairfield avenue, West Cald-
well, N. J., gave up his life to save
Agnes, the six-year-old daughter of his
master.
Agnes and her elder sister, Clara,
were romping with the dog when it
bounced upon copperhead snake di-
rectly IN the path of the little grill.
The elder sister grabbed Agnes and
ran home with her and informed their
father
Miller ran TO the scene with club,
but before he got there the dog had
killed the snake, but had himself been
bitten. Shortly after he got back to
the house he showed symptoms of
poisoning and soon after died. Miss
Clara Miller said that had not the dog
tackled the snake when he did her lit
tie sister would have been bitten.

CHINESE FEAR THEIR FOWLS
Odd Superstition That Causes q
Shortage OF Chickens
and Eggs.

Details Of Chinese superstitions and
'1;klore are related in a letter from
Gilbert Mcintosh, Presbyterian
missionary in Shanghai, which was
made public by the Presbyterian
board OF foreign missions Mr.. McIn-
tosh in HIS letter says, according to
the New York Herald
The railway has brought much
nearer to Shanghai a Taoist hell in
tho province Of Chekiang, which
brings great profit to the priests. In
the temple are long rows of figures of
kings OF hades; efiigies of the spirits
O. the lower world, ready to seize the
victims and escort them below: gods
IN the torture chamber passing judg-
ment. and demons carrying their or
ders out, and many other gruesome
contrivances to work on the fears and
credullty Of the pilgrims and swell the
&c -Gues :. Tic priests.
You possibly are surprised at the
superstition and credulity that prevail.
The other day the local papers in
Shanghai referred to the fear of i'm
pending trouble arising out of the re-
crudescence Of a peculiar superstition
which exists in the minds of a num-
Der of Chinese regarding FIVE claw
chickens. l quote from a local ac-
count:
The superstition is one which has
been believed for centuries, latterly
more especially if not exclusively by
the people in the lowest spheres, al
though at one time influential people
were disposed to attach considerable
Importance to it. Like many other
superstitions, however, it has felt the
effects of education, until now it is
believed in only by the more unedu-
Gated classes.
THE superstition is that all chick
ems having claws on their wings are
poisonous. and that they generally
foretell disaster. 1t is not necessary
that all affected fowls should be pos
sessed of five claws, but the more
there are the more poisonous is the
flesh
The superstition is now causing a
good deal of trouble at Liuanchow. AS
the result of the destruction of fowls
because of the FIVE claws fowls and
eggs are practically unprocurable, and
the farmers are feeling the position
acutely."

Carafe Erappe.

Frappe, as most persons know, is to
freeze, and carafe is the glass decan-
ter smart folk use at their functions
for holding drinking water. Fill the
bottles with distilled water to within
an inch Of the top and then sink
them to two-thirds depth in a tub Of
ice, as for making ice cream; use less
salt than for cream, and do not have
the ice cover the decanters any higher
than stated, as the glass may break
Stopper them with bits of absorbent
cotton during the freezing. The ice
forms at the bottom of the bottles
and the displaced water rises, and as
long as the ice remains the decanters
can be reflled and used after a few
minutes.

Purified Water.

Throughout the whole country the
word has been passed to beware OF
bad water.
Your family doctor will tell you that
the safest thing to do is to boil every
drop of water that you drink.
Here is a simple arrangement fer
distilling water:
Slip one end of hose over the ket
tie and let the other end pass down
through tightly fitting cork into al
earthenware jug.
The steam rising from the kettle
spout passes through the hose to the
jug. and as the latter is cooled by the
water outside, the steam eondenses,
or once more becomes water minus all
impurities.
Once the device is set up you will
not need to pay much attention to H.
for the steam that usually goes 10
waste will be constantly forming into
water.
The water surrounding the jug
need only be changed once day.

Walking is the best exercise. Do
some Of it every day. Next to walk
ing comes bowling. You can't throw
a bowling ball without STOPPING clear

the liver and exercises the intestiness
Fifty per cent of the sickness In tho

body bowled. Walk or bowl every day.
And at night lie fiat on your back and
raise your legs above your head, slow

SOCIALISTS FORCED
TO GIVE UP LEASES
Agitators Not Wanted on Big
Farms of Southwest-Want
Large Families as Tenants.

Dallas. Tex, March 2~O.-Economic
changes in farming due to the entry of
large companies into agriculture on
farms of thousands of acres, conditions
among Mexican farm laborers and
completion of testimony about tenant
farming on the Pagitt ranch in central
west Texas, were on the program for
today's hearing of the American land
question here. The federal commission
on industrial relations conducting the
hearings, expected to secure informa-
ton regarding big farm conditions
mainly through men in charge of OPP
erations in the Taft ranch in south
west Texas. These great farms are said
to have developed new methods Of
economy n efficiency, which in turn
have produced new rural social con-
ditions.
c. A. Rives. of Ryan. Okla. former
superintendent of the 1oadgitt ranch,
testified that in 1912 ~so-called social
cialists caused so much agitation that
he had refused to permit the Padgitt
ranch tenants who called themselves
socialists. to renew their leases in 1913.
These tenants. numbering -four fami-
lies, thereupon moved. Mr.. Rives said.
The confusion was so great that the
anti-socialfst tenants on the Padgitt
farm said they would not stay on the
place If the socialists We're permitted to
remain"
There were about 20 families on the
ranch. Mr.. Reeves said. The agitation
was not confined to the ranch, but was
general in Coleman county.
w. T. Davis. a Coleman county farm
'er. said he believes land owners. in
selecting tenants. desire to get a man
with plenty of force (children) and a
mule and push them down the road"
