HOMEMADE COOKER
CLEVER WOMAN UTILITIES HAT
BOX FOR PURPOSE.
Under Proper Conditions 1t Does the
Work as Well as the Most Ex-
pensive One That Can
Be Purchased.

Every one has now heard of fireless
cookers and OF the many delightful
things they make possible, and there
have been directions given as to the
making of ones own cooker at home.
However, it remained for Mrs. Giusep-
pima Bianchi ueisser of Turin, Italy,
to discover the way to turn a card
board hatboX into a fireless cooker.
This is how it is done, according to
report in the New York Sun:
Take your strongest cardboard hat
box, and make sure it is neither bro
ken nor cracked. See that the. cover
shuts tight. These two conditions are
absolutely essential. Fill your box
with either cotton wool, sawdust or
hay, well packed in and perfectly dry.
Make in the middle of this mass a
hollow big enough to hold your cas-
serole, covering 1t up with the cotton
wool, sawdust or hay-cotton wool is
really the abest. Put whatever you
want to cook into your casserole. Boil
it on the fire for from ten to thirty
minutes, according to the nature of
your food, then put it in your hatbox,
where it will cook as in the most ex-
pensive fireless cooker. Mrs. Geisser
says that you can leave it four hours
without hurting the meat or stew. All
the flavor is retained, for being her
metically sealed the juices are pre-
served. Boil the vegetables ten to fif-
teen minutes over the gas cooker or
fire before putting into the hat box
and keep them there for two hours.
Potatoes should be ten minutes on fire
and one hour in hat box, she thinks
and dried chestnuts twenty minutes on
fire and two and one-half hours in
hat box. Mrs. Geisser calculated that
even with the hardest foodstuffs her
system saves you from 80 to so pei
cent of firing. Food keeps hat for ten
hours in the box. The idea has sc
taken with Turin housewives that hun.
dreds of families are now using it.
All fireless cookers on the market
cost lot of money. This one can be
made by any practical woman for 6
few cents.

ADAMS0N LAW
CALLED INVALID
JUDGE HOOK HOLDS EIGHT-HoUR
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN
TEST CASE AT KANSAS CITY.
UP TO SUI RENE COURT
GULF ROAD TO AID IN SPEED
ING CASE TO HIGH TRIBUNAL
FOR FINAL DECISION.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Kansas City, Mo.-The Adamson
eight-hour law was held unconstitu-
tional here by Judge William C. Hook
in United States District Court.
Judge Hook directed the receivers
OF the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf
railroad who brought the original ac-
tion in this case to enjoin the law
from going into effect, to assist the
government in expediting the case to
the Supreme Court of the United
States for final decision and instruct
ed them through their attorneys to in
vite the representatives of every
railroad in this country to participate
in the hearings before the highest
court in the land. This was request
ed in the governments motion to dis
miss the injunction petition of the
railroad, the government desiring to
avoid prolonged, unnecessary and
scattered litigation through the hear
ing of countless similar suits filed by
every rail system in every federal
district in the United States through
which their lines run"
1t is expected that the ultimate de-
cision as to whether the law will go
into effect Jan l will be handed down
before that time. A transcript of the
present case will be filed at the Su-
preme Court before it reconvenes

creamed Ham on Toast.

Make six slices of nice brown toast
and butter them on both sides. Melt
four tablespoonfuls of butter, add three
tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until
well blended, then pour on gradually
and stir in constantly two cupfuls of
scalded milk. Bring to a boiling point
and season with salt and plenty of
pepper. Dip the slices of toast sep
arately in the sauce and put on a hot
platter. Then add a cupful of finely
chopped ham to the remainder of the
sauce and pour over the toast. Gar
nish with parsley or cress and circles
of hard-boiled eggs.

CALIFORNIA GOES FOR WILSON.
Secretary of Republican State Central
Committee Comedies Majority
of 38O7

of 3,807.
San Francisco, Cal.-President Will
sons plurality in California is 1907,
according to a tabulation of complete
official returns from every county in
California finished by the Republican
state central committee on the 22d.
There will be no split ticket from the
tate. The Republican committee has
figures on every elector in each of the
fifty-eight counties and these show
that Heney, the high Democratic cleo
tor, polled 466,l9 and Carlson, the
high Republican elector, 462,S90. The
total vote for Mrs. Tyler, the low Dem
ocratic elector, was shown to be 463.-
632, which eliminates the possibility
of split delegation from California.
Her plurality over Carlson, the high
est Republican elector, is shown by
the Republican tabulation to be PAP.
Sylvester ]. McAtee, secretary of
the state Republican central commit
tee, has officially conceded California
to Wilson and so telegraphed to Ma
tional Chairman Wilcox.

tn. hiking them dead, when all in the
VIC rid they wanted was to be let alone.
'Rhododendrons are often winter
killed. In many cases they die because
they get too much attention. Mound
up leaves around them, the higher the
better, first wetting the ground thor
oughly. Sun-scald, which causes much
damage, can be avoided by setting up
boards to the south of the valuable
specimens. Straw mats, or mats made
from burlap bags will protect English
ivy. Euonymous vegeta, the handsome
new climber which is being largely
substituted for English Ivy, does not
seem to need any protection in any sec
ton.
The perennial beds would not require
any protection if snow would only fall
at the beginning of the season and stay
until spring.
The alternate freezing and thawing
does the mischief. Peonies, German
iris, phlox and poppies of the Oriental
type really need no covering. Their
roots are strong. A light overcoat of
leaves, straw or pine boughs, however,
is good for many of the perennials. A
heavy blanket will not permit ventila-
tion.
Some of the finest perennials, like
japanese anemones and tritoma, are
sensitive to cold and are safest in a
cold cellar If covered with straw and
protected from standing water, pan
sizes, English daisies and forget-me-
nots will generally stand the winter
nicely.

SOME WINTER HINTS

There is no necessity for being idle

Rake the leaves and add them to
the manure pile.
Take out rocks by blasting.
Pick the stones from the fields.
Haul and spread manvre.
In the early spring don't forget that
a good application of lime is required
for the field.
