Baked and Served In AppetIxlno Form
They Are Excellent for Invalid
Various Methods Of Picking
Can Be Recommended.

Baked Onions for an Invalid.-Pre-
pared in this way, onions are served
frequently in sanitariums, when onions
the large white or yellow onions. Do
not peel, but arrange in a baking dish,
still In their jackets and add enough
water to prevent burning. Bake until
they are thoroughly tender. the center

ready to serve, remove the outer jacket
of skin, season with salt, pepper and
butter and serve very hot.

Cut in slices and soak in milk ten min
utes. Then dip in flour and immense In
boiling fat hot enough to brown in
stantly. You cannot keep the slices
whole after they have fried six or seven
minutes. Take out with skinner, lay
on brown paper few moments to alb
sorb all fat and serve with steak or
veal outlets. They will be firm and
delicious.
| Glazed Onions.-Choose mild onions
for this way of cooking. Melt half a
cupful of butter in a saucepan, then
put In as many peeled onions as will
fit in without crowding. Move about
until all are well coated with butter,
sprinkle with a tablespoonful of sugar,
then pour over them a weil-flavored
soup stock. If you have no stock on
hand dissolve a little beef extract In
hot water and salt well. Simmer until
the onions are tender. take off the lid
of the saucepan and let the stock SIM
mer down to about half cupful. Serve
In heated covered dish as an accom-
paniment to a roast of pork or NUT
ton.
Picked Onions.-Use the smallest
onions you can find, pour hot water on
them and let them stand until their
skins can easily be removed. Make
enough brine to cover the onions; let
them remain in 1t from one morning
until the next; replace the old brine
with new, allowing it also to remain on
the onions "a hours, and change the
brine again on the third morning. On
the fourth morning put the onions In
fresh water and heat them to the scald-
Ing point, stirring frequently. A pint
Of milk added to the water will help
whiten the onions during this boiling.
Drain well and place the onions In a
Jar, pouring scalding hot vinegar over
them.
If spiced pickles are desired, place
one-half pound Of prepared" spices
such as may be procured at the gro
GERS. in thin bags, and steep them In
the vinegar 15 minutes. But If the
Wilderness that is so appetizing In
!, picked onions Is to be retained, the
spices must be omitted. AS the onions
are placed in the jar. distribute sliced
red peppers through them. These
, pickles present a very attractive ap
pearance when put up in glass Jars

A new bag for a lady's toilet arti-

clever. 1t is made-at-home affair Of
heavy silk, plain or figured, lined with
silk or cloth in contrasting color. 1t
is circular and draws upon a silk cord.
Upon opening 1t, all the toilet requis-
ties are discovered very tidily and coz
lily arranged. This particular bag may
be made In miniature, with complete
fittings, like an amplified vanity bag.

the circular piece of silk. This small
bag closes with a silk cord and pro-

compartments contain all those things
including a small hairbrush and comb,
hand mirror. toothbrush and paste In
a glass holder, toilet powder. clothes

The arrangement Is so complete and
compact that there Is still room for a

If you are looking about for pretty
model for an afternoon gown it almost
goes without saying that you want a
smart one-piece straight-hanging frock.
There are many materials that provide
choice for making 1t, but satin or
chiffon velvet, or both combined, lie up
permost in the mind, If the dress is to
be elegant rather than practical.
The one-piece dress offers the de-
signer the best of opportunities for
making effective combinations of ma
terials. Serge and satin, and other
cloths with satin or velvet, crepe with
velvet, or fur and cloths with fur-fab-
RIGS, are q few that have been made so
successfully that they pave the way to
many more.
A lovely combination of satin and
chiffon velvet is shown in the picture.
In this the chiffon velvet is cut in
redingote style over satin that has the
effect of an underdress. A panel of
satin, from collar to hem, is defined
on the edges, with small velvet-covered
buttons, set about an inch apart. The
dress has long waistline and a mar
row velvet belt edged with fur. The
belt terminates at each side Of the
front panel, where 1t is fastened to
the dress with large velvet button.
A small plated cape of velvet, fin
ished with a narrow banding Of fur
falls to the shoulders. This Is a feature
which marks this dress a design for

Disciples Of Bacchus "Swore on"

Cafe Was Invaded by Swarm

take 1t from divers erstwhile customers
of cafe down Broadway, remarks the
New York Telegraph. The aforemen-
toned former disciples of Bacchus
tried out the treatment on a recent aft
ernoon and know whereof they speak.
1t was along about three o'clock that
Mr.. and Mrs. George McFadden and
Mrs. e. Il. Connaughty walked up the
street past the cafe In question, when
Mrs. McFadden's attention was attract
ed to a vendor of ANIMALS who offered
his wares from the curb. Mrs. McFad-
den already possessed parrot and
dog, both of which she keeps in her
apartments, but a menagerie is never
SO large there isn't room for one more.
Accordingly. when she spied several
tiny monkeys peeping out from various
pockets of the vender she instantly de-
cided she must have one forthwith for
her very own. Friend husband agreed
and the salesman rendered the most
diminutive specimen of his collection.
His hand proved q bit unsteady, how
ever, and the young animal was
dropped to the sidewalk, where 1t set
up terrific bowling that galvanized
all his sisters and brothers into in
slant action.
The animals sprang from their hiding
places in the vendors coat and made

CHANGED to be the cafe. Nearly two
| dozen patrons of the place were lean
ing In various attitudes of ease about
the mahogany bar as the monkeys en-
tered. The first man to see the animals
glanced a second time In a startled
manner and then turned hastily to his
neighbor to loudly discuss the weather,
lest the other should notice his strange
manner.
When several of those present had
noticed the invasion, however. the first
sightseer gained bit more courage
and he was able to ask In a rather
squeaky voice:
"Say, fellows, do any Of you see
what do?"
Upon being assured they did, he
gained more courage and turned to
take a second look. BY this time, how
ever, the band Of intrepid invaders had
begun to feel more at home and two OF
them were already making free with
the bar. while third was getting into
intimate acquaintance with a vast
array Of cut glassware that fianked the
shiny mirror behind the mahogany.
One of the glasses was accidentally
upset and the sounding of crashing
glass seemed to unloose all the pent-uI
energy In the bodies of the animals.

also prohibits the transportal ion of

Poison for Grasshoppers

From the fact that grasshoppers
are again doing much damage TO the
fields, at 7he request of several of
our readers, we give below the for
mula recommended by the Depart
ment of Agriculture of poison for
the determination of the pests.
The constituents are wheat bran
25 pounds, Paris green l pound, or
white arsenic l pound, lemons or or
anges, finely chopped; lew grade
molases such as refuse from sugar
factories quarts, water 2 to4 gals
Ions. The bran and Paris green or
other arsenical are thoroughly mixed
while dry, the fruits finely chopped
and added and lastly the water and
molases are poured over the bait and
the whole thoroughly mixed. A
course faxed bran is most desirable
although where this cannot be easily
| obtained, ordinary middlings or al
falfa meal may be substituted. A
low grade, strong smelling syrup or
molases. however, is essential to the
entire success of the poison. The
white arsenic may be substituted for
the Paris green or twice the given
amount of powdered arsenate of lead
may be used in its stead. Water
should be added at the rate OF at
least four gallons TO 25 pounds of
bran as the mixture dries quickly
and the water is necessary 10 attract
the hoppers.
The bait should be distributed
broadcast over the infested areas in
the late afternoon or early evening
just before the grasshoppers reas-
cend the plants on which they usually
pass the night. They are apparent
ly hungry and thirsty at this time
and readily take TO the bait. if it is
available In applying this bait in
orchards, care mnst be taken not to
place it too near 70 trees, because
severe injury sometimes results from
heavy applications OF arsenical poi

couraged if the grasshoppcrs do not

An Undesirable Companion.

An accident. the like of which only
occurs every million years, says the
Richfeld Recorder, occurred with
W L. Gordon last Monday, when a
rattltsnake entered his Ford road
ster whila the machine was moving
at least ten miles an hour.
He was driving to Shoshone and
at some point south of Marley noticed
the creature lying near the road. -Ho
turned out to run over it,and in some
manner run upon stick which
YIELDED with a tilt, the end encoun-
teiing the snake, thrusting 1t into
the seat. Zzz it went-and without
a thought of Ford brakes or throw
ons, out went Gordon. He encoun-
;ered the earth with a thump no
douo e., and he panted witt fear no
doubt, for he did net relish riding
with that strange companion. Some
few yards away the Ford stopped.
Gordon peeped in through the back
window and got himself together for
the big offense. The reptile was
coiled on the floor, seemingly con
tent With a stick Gordon Drained
it. Seven rattles and button attest
TO the worst predicament that man
was ever in.

Of lying peacefully but mangled, in

was driving up the Blue Lakes grade
Sunday afternoon and when he got

by his acts said nothing stirring In

little boy was riding two horses and
leading another, and these animals
took fright at the antics of the Jen-
sen steed and also few up the grade
behind the buggy. After they had
raced up scventy-fve yards they
heard a rumble and looked around
to see an immense body of dirt and
rock fall across the road, where
they would have been had the Jen-
