THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Substitute for Milk-Try this when
fresh milk is obtaina BILE and condens-
ed milk turns sour: Beat one or two
fresh eggs and add about twice as
much cold water; mix we'll. Baby will
like this in his morning cereal espe-
cially.
To Peel Tomatoes-Run fork through
stem end; light small fame of gas
stove, hold tomato over blaze and turn
slowly. The skin will soon burst open
and it may be easily peeled. This is
much better than dipping in boiling
water, as the tomato does not heat and
become soft, and Is so much more
quickly done.
After white shoes are cleaned and
dry, sprinkle plenty of talcum pow
der over shoes and polish with soft,
clean cloth, or rub very lightly with
the palm of your hand. This will
bring forth the pretty gloss they had
when new and will keep them soft;
also easy to clean, the dirt will
come OFF with the powder. Any cheap
talCum powder will do, but 1t must be
talcum.
To keep fish fresh in refrigerator
without spelling the favor of other
things, put fish in glass Jars with the
tops screwed on and set near the ice.
Thoroughly scald daily all vessels
used for milk

MANY BODIES APPEAR
Lieutenant Commander Powers Sym
ington, of Baltimore, Believed to
Have Been on Lost Ship

London, June g.. Unofficial re.
ports from the great battle in the
North Sea today brought word OF
the sinking of two additional war
ships, one a British destroyer, and
the other a small German cruiser.
The British destroyer Sharks is
reported to have bee nsunk, increas-
ing the number of English ships lost
to fifteen.
Unofficial Holland dispatches re-
port the loss of the German cruiser
Elbing.
Survivors from the Shark have
been landed at Hull by Dutch ship.
They said the destroyer acted as a
decoy for the British fleet. Eighty
five members Of the crew are believ-
ed to have perished.
All accounts from Dutch sources
agree that the German fleet was pro-
ceeding as one unit when the first
British ships were encountered. The
German fleet is estimated in differ
ent reports to have consisted of from
forty to fifty vessels.
The weather was misty and the
sea smooth. One Dutch report fixes
the time of the opening of the battle
at AIS in the afternoon.
All reports apparently agree that
the British were outnumbered at the
start and faced heavier vessels. Lat
er, as darkness approached, the Brit
ish grand fleet appeared and the Ger
mans began to retire.
One report from Ymuiden is to the
effect that while the British fleet was
in pursuit of the Germans. destroy
ers and submarines dashed back at
full speed and stopped the battle
ships. This was believed to indicate
the possible approach of additional
German warships.
Forty warships took part in the
engagement.
With reports of these additional
losses also came dispatches, telling
how bodies of hundreds Of German
and British sailors were seen float
ing in the water near the scene OF
the engagement by neutral ships
which arrived during "wednesday
and Thursday.

of them-have consented to take part
in this conference, which probably
will be held on Sunday. Any agree
ment reached at this conference will
not, of course, affec. the early balloI-
ing.
Colonel Roosevelt will not be rep
resented in this conference, and JUS
tice Hughes will not have any repre-
sentative present, although his friends
undoubtedly will look out for his in
terest in an informal manner.
The Hughes sentiment continued
to show itself impressively among
the Republican leaders, but it was
more clearly apparent than ever be-
fore that the feeling in his favor was
based solely upon the belief that he
would make the strongest nominee
the Republicans could name. All of
the leaders have misgWings as to
what may happen to the Republican
organization if Mr.. Hughes gets in
the White House and most of them
are gloomy over the thought that
they have absolutely no. assurance as
to what Mr.. Hughes attitude will
be toward party patronage. Never
theless they want to win and they
seem to feel that the associate JUS
tice will be more certain in carry
them through than any one else.
While none of the so-called Old
Guard leaders openly committed them
selves to Mr.. Hughes, several of them
expressed the belief privately that
the convention might be obliged to
take him. 1t was reported that Muir
ray Crane, of Massachusetts, was
favorably disposed toward Hughes
as the strongest candidate, and re-
ports were in circulation in Candidate
Row that even William Barnes, Jr.,
of New York, would be for Hughes
if it was shown that Governor Mccall
of Massachusetts could not be named
as the nominee.
