SALADS A@LITTLE DIFFERENT
Two Unusual Ones and Two Good Dressings to Be Served
 With Them.

Fruit SaIads.-For fruit salads any combination may be used. Canned pine apple goes well with canned or fresh white grapes or canned peaches with oranges may be added as desired.
 Dressing for Fruit SaIad-This is an excellent dressing for fruit salads where mild but well-favored dressing is needed:
 Yokes of two eggs, two tablespoon fuls of butter, a scant half cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls each of vin- egar and lemon juice, two teaspoonfuls of olive oil. one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of mustard (groundD and a pinch of red pepper. Cream the but ter and sugar together; add the beaten eggs and other ingredients. Cook in a double boiler until thick. Keep in a cool place and, when ready to use, add One-half cupful of whipped cream.
 Another salad dressing for fruit calls for two eggs, One-quarter cupful each of lemon juice and sugar. Beat the eggs, add the other ingredients and cook in a double boiler, stirring con- stantly until the dressing commences to thicken. Cook and pour over sliced fruit, any combination desired.
 Frozen Cream Cheese SaIad.-Add a half cupful of cream to two cream cheeses and stir to a smooth paste. Season with salt, paprika and little lemon juice, then turn into a freezer and freeze slightly. Remove, pack in brick-shaped mold and cover for two hours with ice and salt. Then slice and serve on lettuce leaves with a French dressing.

FIRELESS COOKER IS BOON
contrivance Which Will Prove Big Aid to the Housewife Can Be Made
 With Little Trouble.

Dread of long cooking processes renders the fireless cooker desirable to the housewife in the cooler seasons as well as during hot weather.
 The following will be found to an- swer the purpose. A candy pail or butter tub makes the outside. Inside this is fitted a galvanized pail leaving a two-inch space. The intervening space should be filled with ground cork, shavings, sawdust, or even chaff. The cover of the candy pail should be built downward and also filled with the insulating material. A second cover is fitted just below the rim of the galvanized pail extending to the sides of the wooden bucket. This cov- CTS up the insulating material. It may be made of wall-board or thin wood.
 Cooking vessels can be purchased at almost any hardware store at a small cost. It is usually found best to use one stone below the cooking vessel and frequently one above. These are heated on the stove and with the heat of the hot vessel will continue the cooking process for several hours. Well shaped stones or even hard brick will answer though the usual soap stones are better.-E. w. Hamilton of Idaho University.

IOWA MAY VOTE ON
 SUFFRAGE AGAIN

A petition has been filed in the district court of Iowa in the name of Mrs. Ida Wise Smith asking that the suffrage cleo ton of June 5 be declared null and void for the reason of gross irregularities in the con- duct of the election. It has been found that 335,7O7 votes were cast on the amendment while only 3O5,794 were tabu- lated for governor. In fifteen of the forty-four counties in- vesitgated, 2,299 more ballots were certified than there were names on the list of voters. In certain counties the auditor made no record of the number returned by them.
 If the district court throws out the election and the su- preme Court confirms such action, the voters of Iowa may be given a chance to vote on suffrage again before an elapse of five years as provided by the statutes of that state.

POINTS ON NTcHEN'EcoNoMY
Little Suggestions That Will Be Found of Value in Every
 Home

Wash potato, wipe dry and put 1t in your breadpan. It will keep the bread fresh for days.
 If eggs you are about to boil are cracked, add a little vinegar to the water, and they can be boiled as sat- isfactorily as undamaged ones.
 Take great care of the milk; unless you have a very cool place to keep it, boil it as soon as it arrives. Keep 1t covered with clean muslin cloth.
 Tomatoes should always be skinned before being using for salad. To do this easily, place the fruit in basin and pour boiling water over it. Let stand minute, and then drain. You will find that the skin can then be removed without the slightest trouble.
 Remember beef loses only three ounces to the pound in baking, four ounces in boiling, and five ounces in roasting. Thus roasted meat should be avoided when butchers prices are high.
 If the boiler immediately after use, and while still warm, is rubbed all over with any good household soap it will prevent rust, and will help to make the suds when the boiler is filled for the next washing day.
 To clean black dress take a dozen ivy leaves and steep them in boiling water. Leave till cold, then rub we'll over the stained parts. This liquid will remove all stains and make the cloth look almost as fresh as when new.
 Don't throw bones that have been boiled for soup into the dustbin. Put them at the back of the fire, bank up with well-dumped small coal and they will burn for hours.
 Mincing machines are not easy to take to pieces for the purpose of cleaning, as there is much difficulty in properly replacing the parts. The best plan, and one which leaves the machine quite dry, is to take a piece of very stale bread, or, if this is not obtainable, piece of toast, and grind it through. This will be found to col- lect all the grease, fat and skin which adheres to the knives. Repeat until the crumbs come out quite clean and dry, and then carefully wipe the ma chine with clean, dry cloth.

Rice and Sausaues.

Chop an onion, and fry it with a tablespoonful of dripping until it is of nice golden color. Wash a tea spoonful of whole rice, put it on with cold water, and after bringing it to the boil, drain and stir it in among the onion. Add two breakfastcupfuls of stock Cor water with gravy) and two sliced tomatoes, and allow to sim mer until the rice is tender and absorbs the liquid. When ready stir in two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, with sufficient salt and pepper to season. Pile in the center of hot dish. Have some small sausages nicely Drowned. Place the sausages neatly around. This dish is quite complete without potatoes.

HOW TO CLEANSE CURTAINS
This Mixture Will Make Them Look Like New and They Will Not Be
 Worn Out in the Washing.

After shaking out the loose dirt cover curtains with cold water. Cut up half bar of good white soap, add large tablespoonful of borax and melt to jelly with hot water. Take this from the stove and add half a cupful of kerosene. Make a thick hot suds with part of this mixture and boiling water. Squeeze curtains from cold water and dip one at time into the hot suds. The dirt will simply run out. Put through second lighter suds, rinse in hot water, starch, add ing a little bluing and put on stretch CTS. The result is curtains which look almost like new and are not worn out in washing. With two large pans this can be done in bathroom or kitchen. This mixture is sufficient for four pairs of curtains.

A Real Economy.

The saving of drippings is a 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 a 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 off. Turn this into a saucepan with whatever drippings you may have on ifand, add two cupfuls boiling water and boil uncovered for an hour; then throw in a teaspoonful of salt and put the saucepan away. Let stand till there is solid cake of fal on top; remove this, which makes the best kind of fat for frying.

ANOTHER GAS TRUST

George, dear" said the girl in the parlor scene, "don't turn the gas too low"
 "Why not, sweetheart?" Queried George.
 Because" she explained, q read in the paper of a man who turned the gas so low that the lack of pressure extinguished the spark and he was asphyxiated."
 Don't you worry, darling,"' he re- joined. "Just feel the muscle of this strong right arm and assure yourself that there isn't going to be any lack of pressure in connection with this spark"
 But the dear girl, being an advocate of "safety first" turned the gas out.

ABOUT THE KITCHEN i
SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS FOR EVERY CAREFUL HOUSEWIFE.
':: 4: <: !: ;;:::: ;:: ;:::: Z; ;;1' < How to Remedy Se''- De- fleets and Lig'
 the Home

Many of us re- W -tticles and books, listen L. >.nd give advice on household ni;ti-ugenent. 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 a 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 wall bracket to the left of the sink and a foot or so above the head remedies this de- feet. Another remedy consists in screwing q double fixture in the cleo tric light socket in the center of the room and from one socket of this run ming a drop light to a 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? It costs only a few cents to keep a gas stove in ship-shape, and if there is any defect in yours you should send immediately for a repair man. If you cook by coal: Are the draughts clear and what they ought to be? It not only saves fuel, but saves your own strength to have all these things attended to.
 Is your refrigerator in a convenient place? Ideally it should be in a recess accessible to both the kitchen and the porch, so that the ice man can fill it without going through the kitchen. It should not besnear the stove. Yet the amount of ice saved by having the refrigerator in the cellar is usual ly enumerated by the consequent fatigue of the cook or housewife So have your refrigerator pie cnd as con- venfently for everybody as possible. See that the drain is clean and that it 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, baStfng 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 a comfortable place to mix cakes, buildings and other dishes? ? There is no reason why you should not be seated for good deal of the cook ing. A high stool is comfortable and easy to move about. If possible, a shelf or table beneath a window is a good work table for the cook OF house. wife,

Oven Frying.

The best way to fry ham, sausage, bacon and fresh or salt pork is in the oven. Use a frying pan or a tin or granite pan which is lighter to handle and much more easily washed. The meat browns above as well as below, does not spatter the stove with grease, and needs much less watching, also the extracted fat is winter and has better flavor than when the frying is done on the top of the stove.
