AT THE HLrTOIS.


Well the management of the IlIi-
nois promised as good a show as
last week and if anything it looks
little better. This is some feat in
itself when one considers the good
shows last week. The new show
opened Sunday and scored big. The
Musical Christies are just as must
cal as their name implies, the wo-
man has a wealth of golden sun
kissed" hair and the man wears his
uniform, yes, he is a soldier and
just returned from over there, but
if he forgot anything in the war,
this act they are now doing does
not seem TO show it. They excel
in music, but have some stories to
give full measure. But what is
worthy of special attention is what
they do with saxophone, a French
horn and the treat they bestow
when they get busy on the exylo-
phone. The Dixie Brownies are
two men, Covert and Joyner, black
face comedians, and dancers that
deserve to be called dancers. With
a lot of good quality comedy we'll
put over and some of the best &c
centric stepping ever seen here,
they go over for hit. Dave War
fael and company present an act
that includes some clever props
and how he works so many figures,
and talks and mimics so many
kinds of voices and twangs, it is
hard to understand. The act is a
sure novelty and the work of this
ventriloquist is so good that with
a figure on his arm he calmly
walks through the audience and de-
fies anyone to detect the movement
of his lips. He was well received
and rightly so. Miss Pearl Watson
vas the personification of class.
She has sweet voice and carefully
picks her way into ones heart. She
takes the piano as a toy and dis
plays some real ability as a must
clan and sings some songs of the
oIden days and some of the present,
to show the difference, and to prove
her talent is not wasted the audi
ence gave her a vote of thanks and
elected her chaperon of cleverness.
The Allarton Trio, well it is diff
cult TO give description or this
act, things happen so often and so
quickly one needs a guide to carry
one along over the road they build
paved with good natured fun and
see the fuzzy wuzzy creations of
costumes and hear the songs and
see the dances that~fnight have or
iginated anywhere between here
and any place. The character work
of the rube is commendable and Ihe
two girls are superior in their
work. The laughs come often and
stick with one and that's why the
patrons liked them and so will ev-
eryone who sees them. The other
things worth while are the Pathe
News and a good comedy reel, a
2-reeler of some sentiment and the
6-piece orchestra put the show over
for a goal.

Urbana, Ill, Feb. 1.-THE pro-

Monmouth was showed under by
Augustana at The college gymnas-

final top-heavy score of So to 10.
The Monmouth men were be-
wildered by the speed and team
work of the Swedes. The Angus
tana combination worked with the
precision of a well oiled machine
and soon after the opening whistle
sounded it was evident that it was
only a question of the size of the
score. Augustana rushed the Mon
mouth men from the start and
rolled up 16 points before the
downstate lads seemed to realize
that the game was on. The win
ners showed the top notch form
they displayed in the Bradley game
and scored practically at will.
After some show passing at the
start Samuelson shot a perfec.
pass to Bengston who counted
from directly under the basket.
Swanson cut in for four consecu-
tive baskets and Anderson, Sam
other allotment before any of the
wild and inaccurate tries of the
Monmouth lads fell through tha
loop. From then on Augustana
pierced the Monmouth defense at
will. The visitors fought hard and
tried as best they could to ward off
the clean Augustana attack but
seemed powerless. The first half
ended 2S-8.

about seven minutes of play Mon

Of condition and garnered a total
Of 10 baskets. Almer played a
strong defensive game and broke
up Monmouth rallies repeatedly.
Samuelson was always ready to
advance the ball into Monmouth
territory and Bengston came down
time and again for a score when
the opponents were busy hanging
on to the Augie forwards. Ander-

Monmouth was guarded with an
eagle eye. The Monmouth team

means by which she could get the
money. But to get the money she
was forced to do things which re-
suited in some amazing things.

HOW to
Keep
Honey

Some people do not understand
how to keep honey and are disap
pointed when it becomes thin, sour
or sugary. This is the fault Of the
way in which it is stored. Honey
should not be kept in the cellar or
any other place where it is damp, as
it absorbs moisture, and this thins it;
its keeping power is impaired and
in time it sours.
If honey is kept where it Is too
cold it will granulate, or candy. It
can be restored by setting the con-
tanner in pan of warm, but not
hot, water. The rule is that the
water should be no warmer than
you can hold your hand in COM
fortably.. Heat Injuries both the
color and favor of the honey. For
this reason the can should not be set
directly in the pan on the stove, but
should be placed on an iron ring or
a piece of wood so as to raise 1t
from the bottom Of the pan.
4 coed rule is to store honey In
9 place where salt will keep dry;
then it VIII remain at its best.
The Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., has issued
pamphlet: Honey and It's Uses in
the Home"-"Farmers' Bulletin
No. 653-giving many valuable
tested recipes for the making OF
good things for the table with honey.
It's tendency to absorb moisture
makes it desirable in cake or bread
making, as it binders drying.
Strained honey with gridds
cakes, plain bread and honey and
honey used as a sweetener for fruits
are all simple uses not to be over
looked.
1t is a wholesome sweet for GILL
dren, too, as sweets go. E. G. ".

Frozen Peach Cussard

spoonful Of cornstarch dissolved in
a little cold milk, sixteenth of a tea
spoonful Of salt and two eggs beaten
with two tablespoonful of sugar.
Cook the cornstarch and milk, stir

of a double boiler, for seven minutes.
then add the eggs and sugar and
cook for two minutes longer. Cool.
add cupful and a half of sweet
ened peach pulp and half pint of
double cream that has been whipped
solid with two tablespoonsful of
powdered sugar. Then turn into a
chilled freezer and freeze slowly
until firm and smooth. Repack in
a melon mould with a watertight
cover and bury in ice and rock salt
for two hours before serving.
Raspberry and Mint Water Ice
Boil together four cupsful of
water and two cupsful of sugar for
eight minutes. Remove from the fire
and add half a cupful Of fresh mint
leaves, the juice Of one lemon and
one box of crushed raspberries. Cool
and set in the icebox to chill. When
ready to freeze remove the mint. mix
in the whites Of two eggs, stifly
beaten, and turn into a chilled
freezer. Freeze slowly until firm
and smooth and serve in small
sherbet cups. For a lemon ice,
of a cupful of lemon
juice may be substituted for the
raspberries and mint leaves.
Frozen Fruits
The so-called frozen fruits are
made by adding a cupful of heavy
sugar syrup to each quart of cut
up large fruit or halved berries.
fruit creams are made by washing
and cutting the large fruit into
small pieces, or halving the berries,
Ind after adding a heaping cupful
IF sugar to each quart allowing

place, stirring occasionally. When
'eady to. freeze add one pint of

volving and in opposite directions.
This principle gives slightly quicker
results, but this freezer is a little
more difficult to turn toward the
end of the operation than with the
other types.
The fourth type of freezer ap-
proved by the Institute is the Amer
lean Twin, which makes two favors
at once in fifteen minutes. Deli
ciously smooth cream was made in
this freezer in the Tribune Institute
and the two creams were kept en-
tlrely separate. The motion in this
case is backward and forward, in
stead of revolving. The action is
easy at first, but becomes more diff
cult as the cream hardens.
Any one of these freezers will

year round, but especially from
June to September, and they repre-
sent a distinct economy besides.
A Lightning Ice Chip is useful
accessory tool in home ice cream
making. The four steel pin teeth
with bevelled ends, mounted on the
under side of the galvanized metal
frame, are effectively operated with
a minimum Of effort, when one has
a firm grip on the short wooden
handle. The operator in the illus
tration shows the happy results of
using this tool.

BY VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

VIZ HEN one stops and remembers
w that rice forms the staple diet Of
the majority of the inhabitants Of
nearly all tropical countries, it is not
strange that with the coming of the real
warm days of early summer the wise
home caterer begins - introduce it into
her daily menus instead of the heavier
forms of cereals, like oat and corn meal.
Fortunately, rice is not an expensive
food and lends itself admirably to any
number of appetizing dishes, embracing
cereals, meat substitutes, breakfast
breads, waffles, salads and a host of
delicious desserts; while even the water
in which the rice is cooked can be added
to the dinner soup or used as the basis
of sauce or gravy.
The polished rice with which all house
keepers are familiar is not the whole
grain, which is brown in color. This.
although not as attractive in appearance
as the polished grains, is really more nu-
tritious, containing more minerals and
making an excellent cereal for children.
1t can be cooked in the same way as the
ordinary rice, but it requires a little
more time.
To cook the white polished rice in
southern style, add slowly half cupful
of washed rice to a quart Of boiling
sailed water. Let boil rapidly for twen-
ty to thirty minutes then turn the whole
into a sieve and pour cold water over it.
Place the rice in a double boiler and
steam until each kernel is distinct and
dry. Or dry in the oven, shaking the
dish frequently to separate the grains.
