EGGS WITH ANCHovY SAUCE
Method of Serving Is Something of a
Novelty-Makes Delicious
Luncheon Dish.

At most delicatessen shops or large
grocery stores may be bought tiny lit
tie cans of anchovy paste. These sell,
as rule, for 10 cents apiece.
To make the sauce, melt one round
ed tablespoonful of butter and one
tablespoonful of flour, heaped high.
When thoroughly blended, add one
cupful of milk and the contents Of the
tiny can of anchovy PASTE,
When the sauce has boiled up, re-
move 1t from the fire, stir until very
smooth and pour it over hard-boiled
eggs that have been shelled, cut In
half and laid face down on the plate
on which they are to be served. Pour
the sauce over the eggs evenly, sprln-
kle with little finely-chopped parsley
or celery and dust with paprika.
For luncheon, as an entree, 1t should
be served hot and then the sauce
should be poured in an individual cas-
serole or, should this not be handy, In
a baking dish. Fresh eggs, carefully
opened, are dropped In this hot sauce
and a little cheese grated over the top,
and paprika, and the whole put in q
very hot. oven long enough to "set"
the egg. This may be served as a
course by itself with thin biscuits.

Trifes Seemingly Of Small Significance

M124. The wife buys shoes quar-.

them of under the table Mt dinner.
Then she loses them and develops
great agitation. This fills her hus.
band with an unuccountable rage.
MICS. The wife is afflicted with the
cliche habit and can generally sum
up situation by phrases such rs:
"All is not gold that glltters." Or,
"Such is life" or well, we'll, It's a

RULES FOR ROASTING PORK
Prepared In This Way, the Meat VIII
Be Found Both Appetizing and
Digestible.

After carefully wiping the meat with
wet towel, lay 1t on rack in the
dripping pan and place it in very hot
oven, where 1t will quickly scar over
on all sides. Then reduce the heat of
the oven and pour into the pan with
the fat, which has come from the roast,
cupful of hot water.
Now cut In small pieces two large
tart apples and put these into the
pan where, cooking, they will give up
their acid.
Baste the meat very often with this
liquid, adding water when necessary,
letting the pork cook slowly and thor
oughly. Season with salt and pepper
when half done.
A little -four may be dredged over
the roast at intervals and few sage
leaves powdered may be sprinkled over
1t. Sage and pepper scorch easily
and must be frequently basted.
Apple sauce and horseradish may
accompany the roast pork as usual.
When the roast is done take 1t up
and pour off all the drippings except
two large tablespoonfuls, being careful
to retain the brown substance at the
bottom.
Add two tablespoonfuls of -four, let
ting this cook for minute with the
dripping. Add pint Of cold water,
stirring well. Add slice Of onion,
letting gray cook few minutes to
extract the juice, then remove the
onion. Strain gravy. This gravy is
Tree from grease and has a good flavor.

That wrapping twines which give

lTEn Introducing Her.

None,bbut the residents consider
Mount Mark, Iowa, much Of town,
and the, very most patriotic Of them
all has no word Of praise for the ugly
little red G. B. & @. railway station.
Mount Mark is anything but proud of
the little station. At the same time 1t
certainly does owe the railroad and the
state debt of gratitude for its pres
ence there. 1t Is the favorlte social
rendezvous for the community! The
arrival Of passenger train In Mount
Mark is an event-something in the
nature of a G. b. & Q. "at home," and
Is always attended by large and en-
thusiastie gathering of "our best
people" All that is lacking are the
proverbial flight refreshments |"
So 1t happened that one sutry morn
Ing, late in the month of August, there
was the usual flutter of excitement and
confusion on the platform and In the
waiting room Of the station. The ha-
bitues were there In force. Conspicu-
Ous among them were four gayly
dressed young men, smoking cigarettes
and gazing with lack-luster eyes upon
the animated scene, which evidently
bored them.

But the Methodist minister, gazing

curl of smoke announced the coming

Of this conversation. He WAS not
HANDSOME man. His hair was gray at

often and with relish.

UNCLE SAM ON WHEELS
Takes Travelling Shows Through
out the United States.
Government Is Fitting Up New Rail
road Car Every Year to Carry
Benefits Of Experts Work
to the People.

Uncle Sam believes that while roll
Ing stone may gather no moss, roll
ing demonstration produces great re-
suits in the way of increased knowl-
edge, saved lives and righted wrongs.
And he backs up this belief by the pur-
chase every year of railroad car, fit
ted up to carry his discoveries to every
corner of the United States.
Some six or seven cars he owns now
and an order has just been placed for
another. 4.
Education on wheels seems to at
tract the interest and the plaudlts of
the multltudes. The travelling show
has never needed to make a strong out
side bid for favor; it carries its sue
cess with it; people welcome 1t newt
ably. Uncle Sam remembered this.
Also he remembered that he has a
tremendous family of nieces and
nephews to reach. Why not combine
their inherent curiosity about a show
from "furrin parts" with their need
for enlightenment? The problem was
simple-just matter of inoculating a
little seriousness into the show or put
| ting some "sure enough" tonic into the
mixture beneath the sugar coating and
inoculating a little novelty into the
demonstrations.
Hence, the federal special" which
were they all coupled together in one
train, would be made up Of a car each
from food research laboratory, the bu-
reau of animal industry (both Of the
department of agrlculture) the bureau
of mines, of standards and of fisheries,
with another, already appropriated
for and soon to be added, from the bu-
reau of chemistry.
The car from the food research labo-
ratory demonstrates methods for re-
ducing the appalling $50000,000 yearly
egg waste.
The wool-exhibit car of the bureau
of animal industr" shows ranchmen
how to prepare their wool for market
so as to increase their profits.
The fish commission car transports
fishes from the Pacific, from the
Atlantic and from the great lakes
to stock the individual and public
plants of those who are following the
new pursuit, "fish raising"
The bureau of standards car is de-
signed to go about the country testing
track scales on railways and weighing
equipment of grain elevators and such
establishments where commodities,
destined for the general public, are
weighed in bulk, to see if the measures
conform to standard.
The bureau of mines car is an ultra
modern emergency kit on wheels which
Is rushed from Its siding by swift
locomotive and fastened to the scene
Of every mine disaster for rescue work.
The newest car, which really is not
yet a car, but only an order for one, is
to be a peripatetic laboratory which
will operate in connection with the
pure food act. On the general lines
Of a Pullman car, 1t will be designed
as n complete chemical and bacteria
logical laboratory, where the qualities
of food products may be definitely es-
tablished as in any other laboratory.

Americans Living in Russia Declare Will
sons Speech Had Stabilizing
Effect.

London, April IA group of Amer
leans having large interests in Russia
has sent a report to London to the effect
that the situation is stabilizing itself
and that the provisional government of
Russia has been strengthened greatly as
a result of President Wilson's speech,
which made profound impression on the
Russian people.
Present indications point undoubtedly
to the establishment of republic by the
constitutional assembly which Is to be
held. The whole sentiment of the Rus
sian people is in favor of democracy
similar to the United States. This has
produced great feeling of affection and
kinship toward Americans.
The report says that the provisional
government would be strengthened great
ly if liberal credits were provided in
America for Russian accounts An Amer
lean commission of national character
would be welcomed in Russia, where its
cooperation with the new government
in providing for financing and for NUM-
lions and other supplies would be OF in
estimable value now and for the future.
The Russians probably would desire
that such a commission be accompanied
by railroad and engineering experts to
assist the government in reorganization
of the transportation system.
That such a commission would appeal
to the masses of the Russian people and
would do much to cement the stability
of the institutions which have resulted
from the revohtionists' general opinion,
as reflected in the report.

The region is of unusual interest in the
