maker during the summer.
Roasts. fried fish and kindred heavy
dishes should be avoided, and simpler
edibles that require short cooking or that
can be prepared in the early morning
selected instead.
In this connection the different varie-
ties of canned fish, poultry and meat
are recommended, for as they have al
ready been cooked they merely require
relocating, or, if combined with raw meat,
as in the headcheese, half the meat
is prepared and only the veal has to be
cooked.
In all instances where canned goods
are used (save those put up in OLD the
contents of the can should be quickly
rinsed in cold water; Immediately
drained and exposed to a current Of air
for at least half an hour. Also remem-

over the piled shortcake in deep dish;

CARUTHERSVILLE FREIGHT
DEPOT IS BURNED

The Caruthersville Democrat has
the following to say relative to the
big fire that occurred in that city
early Monday morning:
The Frisco freight depot, located
at Bushy avenue and Second street,
caught on fire early yesterday morn
ing and was entirely consumed, with
its contents, also three box cars and
most OF their contents standing on
the siding close to the platform,
went up in smoke, Four other cars
were saved, the engine which pulls
the kennett train bing sent down
for that purpose.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but circumstances all point to in
cendiarism. Just what the object
of any fre-bug could have been is
hard to see and there is always a pos
sibility that rats may start blaze
where matches are or may be stor-
ed, and again, a match or cigarette
carelessly handled could have been
the cause. but these are unlikely.
Scott Carey, acting as nightwatch-
man for the road, was on the prem
ises until three o'clock that morn
ing. when he became i'll and left. af-
ter making an investigation and see
ing that everything was all right.
When the fire was discovered and the
alarm turned in at 4:45, it had
reachd such proportions that it
would seem unlikely that it could
have made much headway from a
trivial start.
Figuring all the rolling stock, the
contents of the warehouse, the build
ing, etc, the railroad company has
loss of about $4,000, it is esti-
mated, and this is partly, at least,
covered by insurance. One of the
worst features of the fire is the des-
truction of all the records, freight
bills and everything of this sort,
which can never be replaced. 1t
also works a hardship on some con-
signees of freight, whose goods were
still in the warehouse and who had
been notified of its receipt there, as
such holdings probably will be a
dead loss. Fortunately the con-
tents OF the safe were uninjured,
there being some checks and other
valuable papers belonging to the
company, as we'll as some bonds by
Agent Pickard and his subordinates,
which were saved. the safe being

ary use, one as an office and the
others for freight storage, as soon as
the track work can be done. Mean.
while the business of the office is
being transacted at the passenger
station and freight will have to be
delivered directly from the cars un-
til temporary storage Accommodations
can be provided.
The city fire department reached
the scene in a very short time af
ter the alarm was given, but the fire
had gained such proportions that it
was powerless to save the structure.
Among other merchandise stored in
the warehouse were about four hun
dred cases of whiskey, we are told,
and colored folks-and some others
a great time salvaging what
was left of this. Partly broken bot
ties were carried away and one man
brought tub or other large vessel,
the liquid through a cloth
into it so as to remove bits of brok-
EN- glass, etc, in order to make use
