WAYS TO PRESERVE AND SERVE
 GOOSEBERRIES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: These are more ways to preserve and serve gooseberries:
 Gooseberry ReIish-Stem and wash one quart of gooseberries, add one cup of sugar and boil the mixture 20 min utes; add two tablespoons of vinegar and season with alIspice, cinnamon and cloves to suit the taste. Seal the relish in jars still hot
 Gooseberries Canned (syrup method) Prepare the berries and place them in jars as for the cold water method; jar to overfowing with heavy boiling syrup and seal it at once. Proceed likewise with the other jars.
 Gooseberry Pudeifng-Put a quart of green gooseberries into a saucepan with two tablespoons of water; boil until soft and pulp through a sieve; add 10 ounces of sugar. one ounce of butter and sufficient fine bread crumbs to make a thick consistency. Butter a pudding dish, pour the mixture in and bake one-half hour. Serve hot with sauce, or cold with cream.
 Gooseberry Boiled Pudding Boil some gooseberries until soft enough to pulp through a sieve. To every pint of pulp add one-half pint bread crumbs mix with quarter of a pound flour. Beat well together and mix with three eggs well beaten, the grated rind of a lemon and one-half tea spoon of cinnamon; have ready a but tered mold; pour mixture in. tie with a fioured cloth and plunge into boiling water. The water should come up e-quarters on the mold and it must be kept boiling at least two hours: turn the pudding upon a, dish. sprinkle with sugar and serve. No su- gar must be added to the pudding be- fore boiling; it would render pudding heavy.

 The most economical cuts of beef for roasting are the shoulder, the face of the rump. ard the chuck ribs: be- ing of good flavor ard fairly tender.

For a medium cooked roast allow seventeen minutes for each pound of meat. The oven should be very hot for the first fifteen minutes, after which the heat should be reduced.

SOME VERY USEFUL HINTS.

HANNAH WHO,
The Cordova daily times., 1917-07-10

Hong Kong were retained by British firms, the Germans had captured a substantial portion of it by taking business-as their books showed-on miserably inadequate terms, some times even at a loss. This had tenn porarily benefited Manchester and Bradford merchants, but many of the enemy firms were getting deeper and deeper into a state of such chronic over-trading that very little would have been needed to upset the whole fabric and bring about a crash which would have seriously injured British mercantile and banking interests.
 "It is not at all surprising to learn that German firms at Hong Kong ad. ded dishonesty to their recklessness in trading The windlng-up inquiries disclosed the fact that the bulk of their business was actually done on capital borrowed on what were vir. tually false pretenses from London financial houses. Nor is 1t surprising to learn that merchants who treated their own letters of lien as so many scraps of paper, deliberately violated the conditions under which they were allowed to continue business in Hong Kong for two or three months after the outbreak of the war"
 The periodical says that MT. Moss certainly shows that the methods oi German traders "are for the most part methods to be avoided" and adds, in | cinclusiOn:
 And Hong Kong is not the first place from which We have had proofs 1 that German commerce, about the growth of which we used to hear SC much, rested on a very unstable foun dation."

Cooney's was the first triple play unassisted ever made in the Western league. It happened in the sixth in- ling. Hartman beat out an infleld hit and Kelleher and Oakes singled, Butcher hit a hot one through the box. which O'Toole. Omaha twirler, fumbied and Hartman scored. McCor. mick was next up and slammed liner to Cooney. who was standing just off second base, 1t looked a sure hit. Butcher on first was off for second like a shot, and 0akes on second sped for third. Cooney grabbed the ball on the fly and Mccormick was out Cooney touched second base and Oakes was out and tagged Butcher for the third putout.
 The last time triple play unassist ed was recorded, according to recog nized baseball records, was in 1912 when two were made. Roy Aiken. oi the Waco team in the Texas league and J.. Foreman of the Kankakee team in the Illlnois-M Missouri league achieved that distinction.

WELSH |S STILL CLAIMING HE |S
 CHAMP |QN
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, July To- - Fol lowers of boxing in California were interested in the report that Freddie Welsh, former lightweight champion, still was claiming the title by advanc- ing the technicality that he was not counted out by the referee when de- feated recently by Benny Leonard. The great battle between Ad Wolgast and Elttling Nelson was recalled, when the former won the title from the Dane in the forty-third round of what was scheduled as a forty-five round match. Nelson, battered md bleeding, was fighting blindly through sheer instinct and the bout was stop. ped before the inevitable knockout Boxing men point out that the techni. cality Welsh Is said to be advancing would be a boomerang on himself, for if ne did not lose the title, neither did Nelson, and so the title could not have descended to him.
