GOLF QUITE POPULAR SPORT
Becoming Close Competitor With
Baseball for Title of National
Game-Has Firm Hold.

1t is an indication of hopeless pro-
vlncialism for anybody to deride the
game of golf nowadays. This sport
has taken such a firm hold upon all
classes of people, it has become so
universal and its popularity is SO per-
manently founded that the jibes and
wheezes of dull wits no longer have
any force. Only the hopelessly igno-
rant now characterize it as SISSY" 1t
is, In fact, n full-blooded, strong-bodied
and absorbing sport that demands the
best brain and muscle that can be put
into 1t. Golf is really becoming n close
competitor with baseball for the title
of the national gane.-Kansas City

ABOUT THE KITCHEN
SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS FOR
EVERY CAREFUL HOUSEWIFE.
How to Remedy Several Possible De-
fects and Tighten the Work of
the Home-Proper Lighting
a Big Help.

Many of us read newspaper articles
and books, listen to lectures and give
advice on household management. But
we forget to look at our own kitchens.
Here are some pointed and pertinent
questions for you to ask yourself:
Is your kitchen properly lighted?
Is shadow cast on the sink by the
person who washes dishes? Very often
the only light in small kitchen is
in the center and, as the. sink is al
ways at the side of the room, it is
awkwardly placed for the one who
washes dishes after lights are on. An
old-fashioned oil lamp placed on II wall
bracket to the left of the sink and Il foot
or so above the head remedies this de
feet. Another remedy consists in
screwing double fixture in the cleo
trio light socket in the center of the
room and from one socket of this run
ming drop light to n hook above the
sink.
Probably you cook by gas. If you
do, is the stove in perfect working
condition? Is the force of the gas what
it ought to be? Do all the stops turn
easily and are they tight? Is there
any odor of escaping gas about the
stove! 1t costs only few cents to
keep gas stove in ship-shape, and
II there is any defect in yours you
should send Immediately for n repair
man. If you cook by coal: Are the
draughts clear and what they ought
to be? 1t not only saves fuel, but
saves your own strength to have all
these things attended to.
Is your refrigerator in convenient
place? Ideally it should be in n recess
accessible to both the kitchen and the
porch, so that the ice man can fill II
without going through the kitchen. 1t
should not besnear the stove. Yet
the amount of ice saved by having
the refrigerator in the cellar is usual.
ly counteracted by the consequent
fatigue of the cook or housewife. So
have your refrigerator placed as con.
Veniently for everybody as possible
See that the drain is clean and that il
does not leak. If there are any very
large cracks in the refrigerator lin
ing, they should be repaired.
Are the cooking implements con-
venient to the places where they are
used? Are the kettles and frying pans
within arms reach of the stove? Are
soup ladies', basting spoons and meat
forks within the same easy distance? :?
Are dishpan and draining pan, with
dish mop, clothes, soap and securing
implements, all neatly placed about the
sink?
Have you comfortable place to mix
cakes, puddings and other dishes?
There Is no reason why you should not
be seated for n good deal of the cook
'ing. A high stool is comfortable and
easy to move about. If possible. II
shelf or table beneath window is n
good work table for the cook or house

Herr Rumf Laughed at Such Story

people sicken and die. If you must
live in that house, at least see that
Madam Gottfried moves out. She may
be good woman in her intentions and
in her life, but she is accursed."
Herr Rumf laughed at such a story.
He was hard-headed, practical man,
and didn't believe in the evil eye, or in
accursed houses. So he took posses
sion of the house, he and his family oc-
cupying the two lower floors, and Mad
sam Gottfried moving upstairs. She
made pathetic plea to be allowed to
remain. She was a sad. lone woman
the victim of unparalleled misfor-
tuues. In brief time she had lost her
father and mother, her brother, three
children, and had been twice widowed
The story of her troubles made such an
impression upon Herr Rumf that he let
her remain. and made his terms re-
markably liberal.
She was a fine buxom woman, of
gracious manners, and possessing n
sad, sweet smile that melted the hearts
of men. Her hair was brown, and
her complexion marvellous. Her teeth
were snowy, set rather far apart and
pointed. Had modern criminologist
noted her teeth, he might have been
impervious to the appeal of her eyes.
Her upstair rooms were handsomely
furnished. and she had fine library,
chiefly of religious books, which she
spent much time reading. Her piety,
while not obstrusive, always attracted
attention.
In a few weeks Madam Gottfried
was practically member of the Rumf
family. She spent most of her time
in their part of the house, and husband
3nd wife agreed that she was god
Aeld to them, she was so helpful, so
sympathetic. She was a great comfort
to Madrm IN Rumf, and when the latter
fell dangerously sick, the widow sell
dom left her bedside. The invalids
illness was mysterious, and seemed
to baaie the doctors. She suffered
excru.iating pain. Now and then she
SHOWED signs of improvement, only to
experience a relapse, and at last she
died. The grief of the husband was
equaled by the affliction Of Madam
0ottfried. who seemed inconsolable.

A Real Economy.

The saving of drippings is very
wise economy. "Drippings" come from
the fat that cooks from the roast, that
Is skinned from the soup pot, that
fries out of different meats or that is
left on the trimmings of the meat from
the butcher. These scraps of fat meat
should be put together in saucepan
with cold water, or cover them and
simmer till the meat is cooked to
pieces. Set away to cool and the fat
will rise to the top in cake which
can be lifted of. Turn this into Il
saucepan with whatever drippings you
may have on hand, add two cupfuls
boiling water and boil uncovered for
an hour; then throw in teaspoonful
of salt and put the saucepan away. Let
stand till there is solid cake of fat
on top; remove this, which makes the
best kind of fat for frying.

DEATH AND MADAM eoTTFRlEo

n NE fine day in 1925, Herr Rumf, a
" respectable and prosperous wheel
wright of Bremen, felt much like dane
Ing and singing. He had become the
owner of large handsome house in
the Pelzerstrasse at an absurdly low
price. The owner and occupant of the
house, Madam Gottfried, had fallen
into financial difficulties some time pre-
viously. and had mortgaged the prop
erts. The mortgage fell due, and she
had no money for the occasion, so the
man who held the instrument fore
closed and offered the place for sale.
Herr Rumf made a ridiculously low
bid and it was accepted at once.
So this merry wheelwright felt that
the occasion needed a celebration, and
he went to his favorite gasthaus and
invited everybody to have something.
He told the good news, and was sur
prised and grieved because nobody con-
graduated him. His cronies shook
their heads and seemed to pity him.
Herr Kaufman, the attorney, finally
tndulged in plain speech.
You have been so busy these many
years" said he, that you don't know
what's been happening around you.
The house you have bought is house
of death. The undertaken is the most
frequent guest. Madam Gottfried has
