Charity Board Shut Out.


Not only has the governor estab-
lished complete quarantine against
the Kansas City club women who
wanted to investigate the penitenti-
airy, but has extended these regula-
tions to the exclusion of the state
board Of charities and corrections.
In letter to one VI the Kansas City
club women which has been given to
the public, the governor says that the
state board has no authority in law
for making an investigation Of the
prison.
In a previous statement, which the
governor gave out, he told Mrs. Hen
ry N. Ess, president of the Susan B.
Anthony Club at Kansas City, that
if committee of club women came
here, they would be admitted to the
prison only under the rules that ap-
ply to visitors generally, Following
this communication the women de-
cided there would be no use in their
coming here, since they would not
be allowed to investigate anything,
and they then asked that the state
board of charities and corrections be
authorized to make the investigation.

TO WASH WINDOWS QUICKLY
AS In Most Other Cases, There Is
Right and Wrong Way
of Doing 1t.

Take large cloth, yard long, pat
1t into a close swab like a sponge.
Wet soppy, but not dripping, with wa
ter. Dent the center and pour in ker-
osene and sop it into the face of the
cloth. With this swab quickly wash
the outside Of the windows to loosen
all fyspecks, dust, old paint or aka
line deposit Follow at once with a
large, soft and dry cloth.
The first cloth leaves it smeary, but
the polishing will make it very clean
and shiny. This first swab will clean
a large number Of windows, simply
turning so as not to scratch the glass
with the dust on it. The polishers
need not be renewed until damp.
The windows become very brilliant
and clean and there is no freezing of
water, or wetting the hands, as gloves
can be worn. Especially good in cold
or windy weather.
The same method can be used in
side. Pure kerosene can also be used,
but the above combination appears
to more quickly soften the varieties
of deposit.

Keen Cupboards Clear.

The majority Of women do not seem
to realize the danger there is in ac-
cumulations in closets. The dust and
lint from old clothes are very infam-
mable. Lighting match to look for
some article in a crowded closet, or
taking a candle into such place often
causes fire. Old clothing, rags, waste
paper and every sort of rubbish should
be cleared out of closets. A spark in
a dusty closet has been known to
ignite whole building; even an ac.
emulation under bureaus and sofas is
dangerous. If you do discover a fire
in your closet close the door and get a
bucket Of water and broom. "a wet
broom is the best fire extinguisher
ever invented" said an official of the
fire department. "You can throw a
solid sheet Of water with it or only a
spray; you can beat fire out with a
broom or you can pull down a blazing
curtain with it"

BREAD MADE IN A HURRY
Just as Good as When Done in the
Ordinary Way and Quickly Ready
tor the Table.

Break two cakes OF yeast into one
cup of water at blood temperature. Put
a tablespoonful of sugar on the yeast
to stimulate its quick growth While
this soaks, warm two cupfuls OF milk
with one cupful of water. This, with
the water over the yeast, makes a
quart of wetting. sufficient for four
loaves.
In a large mixing bowl put several
sieves OF -four and make a depression
In the middle of the -four, into which
put level tablespoonful of salt and a
heaping tablespoonful Of lard. Pour
the liquid and the yeast upon the -four
and mix with the hands, working the
-four from the outside into the liquid
in the middle OF the mass. Make a
stiff dough and lift the ball out, put
ting away any remaining -four for fu-
ture use. II the -four is granular, let
the dough lie on the board for ten
minutes, covered with warm bowl,
that the -four may properly absorb the
moisture. If the flour is not granular,
this wait is not necessary.
Now shape the dough without knead-
ing, lay the ball in buttered bowl,
and butter the surface of the dough to
keep it soft. Cover and let it double
in warm place, an hour to an hour
and a half. If you wish still further
to hurry it, set the bowl in warm wa
ter and place a smaller bowl of warm
water on the lid of the large bowl
containing the dough.
When doubled, shape quickly into
the baking pans for the second rising
and bake when again light. This reci-
pc is excellent for use when one must
have bread in a hurry. Half of the
dough may be made into crusty rolls.
