The big copper, iron and lumber
interests are said to be secretly be-

point of giving it every chance to

This combination of political and

believe the movement has more than
a fighting chance for success.

RULES FOR ROASTING PORK
Prepared in This Way, the Meat With
Be Found Both Appetizing and
DioestibIe.

After carefully wiping the meat with
wet towel, lay it on a rack in the
dripping pan and place it in very hot
oven, where it will quickly scar over
on all sides. Then reduce the heat of
the oven and pour into the pan with
the fat, which has come from the roast,
cupful of hot water.
Now cut in small pieces two large
tart apples and put these into the
pan where, cooking, they will give UP
their acid.
Basic the meat very often with this
liquid, adding water when necessary,
letting the pork cook slowly and thor
oughly. Season with salt and pepper
when half done.
A little flour may be dredged over
the roast at intervals and q few sage
leaves powdered may be sprinkled over
it. Sage and pepper scorch easily
and must be frequently basted.
Apple sauce and horseradish ma.
accompany the roast pork as usual.
When the roast is done take it up
and pour off all the drippings except
two large tablespoonfuls, being careful
to retain the brown substance at the
bottom.
Add two tablespoonfuls of flour, let
ting this cook for minute with the
dripping. Add pint of cold water,
stirring well. Add q slice of onion,
letting gravy cook a few minutes to
extract the juice, then remove the
onion. Strain gravy. This gravy is
free from grease and has good flavor.

WHEN SERVING TEA
LITTLE TOUCHES THAT MAKE OR
MAR THE OCCASION.
Hostess Should See That Tray or Table
Is Appropriately Set Off With
Flowers-To Properly Pre-
pare the Beverage.

Remember to add as a finishing
touch to the tray or tea-table vase
with few flowers, single rose, three
or four asters or a yellow daffodil or
so placed in a bud vase or held in
place in a fiat dish by Japanese
frog.
Always serve cream as well as
lemon. Many persons do not enjoy
tea without cream and of course they
will not be so frank as to tell you so
when they see that the tea tray is
not supplied with any.
Serve the cut sugar in the small,
half Jumps. For a small cup of tea
large lump often proves too much and
it is always awkward to have to break
a lump or to take a lump from the
cup when it is half-dissolved.
Take pains to see that the teapot
and hot-water jug are both well heated
before pouring in the boiling water.
BY doing so the temperature of the
boiling water will not be reduced in
bringing the teapot and jug to it's level.
Remember to carry the pot to the
boiling water and pour the water on
the tea leaves while the water is ac-
tually boiling. Many persons wrong
ly feel that if the water has boiled
it matters little whether or not it is
still boiling when it is applied to the
tea leaves.
Always serve sandwiches or toast
in small portions. 1t is very awkward
for the tea drinker to have to manage
large portions. Bread and butter
sandwiches should be of wafer thin
ness and should be cut in inch-wide
strips. A goodly supply should be on
hand to make up for the smallness of
the single pieces.

Simple Question to Answer.

The editor of the correspondence
columns had very busy day-a very
busy day, indeed. So busy, in fact,
that he had to enlist the services of
the "sub" to read out the correspond
ence.
"What is the next query?" he asked.
when he had gone half way through
the pile of letters.
"Oh," replied the "sub," ga reader
wants to know how to prevent the
hairs in his mustache from falling
out. What shall 1 put down, sir?"
SWELL" answered the editor, with a
sigh, "just put down: THE best way
to prevent hairs from falling out is to
brush them lightly apart, and keep
them from quarreling.'"

EGGS WITH ANCHOVY SAUCE
Method of Serving Is Something of {
Novelty-Makes Delicious
Luncheon Dish.

At most delicatessen shops or large
grocery stores may be bought tiny lit.
tie cans Of anchovy paste. These sell,
as rule, for 10 cents apiece.
To make the sauce, melt one round
ed tablespoonful of butter and one
tablespoonful of flour, heaped high.
When thoroughly blended, add one
cupful of milk and the contents of the
tiny can of anchovy paste.
When the sauce has boiled up, re-
move it from the fire, stir until very
smooth and pour it over hard-boiled
eggs that have been shelled, cut in
half and laid face down on the plate
on which they are to be served. Pour
The sauce over the eggs evenly, sprin-
kle with a little finely-chopped parsley
or celery and dust with paprika.
For luncheon, as an entree, it should
be served hot and then the sauce
should be poured in an individual cas-
serole or, should this not be handy, in
a baking dish. Fresh eggs, carefully
opened, are dropped in this hot sauce
and little cheese grated over the top,
and paprika, and the whole put In a
very hot oven long enough to "set"
the egg. This may be served as a
course by itself with thin biscuits.

CurdIed MaYonnaise.

Mayonnaise that has curdled can
usually be brought back again by add
ing it in spoonfuls to beaten egg yolk,
having the yolk both fresh and freshly
beaten, and beating the mixture after
each additional spoonful.
In the first place, the eggs must be
fresh; in the second place, the oil must
be about the temperature of the room
in which it is served. Thirdly, the oil
must not be added too rapidly at the
start. Never use CONCEALED oil; even
too cold an oil is apt to produce curd-
ling. Again, one must guard against
an excess of Oil in proportion to the
number of yolks Of eggs. The right
proportion is two and half ounces
of oil to each egg. One may use three
ounces of Oil if the dressing is served
Immediately. In any mayonnaise, never
add onion juice when the dressing is
to be used for fruit salad; if vinegar is
replaced by lemon juice, whittier dress
ing is obtained.

Shark Kills Fisherman.

J. L. Hanscom died in a hospital at
Fort Pierce, Fla, as the result of be.
ing attacked by shark at Sewells
Point, near Palm Beach. He was as
sisting some fishermen in hauling in
a fishing net, when large shark was
found entangled in the meshes.
Hanscom jumped into the net and at
tempted to take the monster alive. In
the struggle which followed the shark
seized Hanscom's right leg and severe
ly mangled it.
Hanscom was rushed to the hospital
in an automobile by a party of tour
lists passing at the time. His lacerated
leg was amputated, but he died a short
time afterward from loss Of blood.
This is the first known instance
where anyone has been attacked by
sharks along this portion of the East
coast, and even then the shark was
drawn into the net beyond the bathing
limits off the beach.

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY V. M. PIERCE, NJ. d.

The subject Of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
means of X-rays, the observations of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during di-
gestion is. necessary in good bodily
housekeeping.
II your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of the
neck, take little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any good drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
or old is, always drink plenty of pure
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets of Anuric three or four
times day.
Anuric acts much more quickly
than lithia. You will find it dissolves
uric acid as water does sugar.
