U f NOT already acquainted with
the many possibilities of gelatine
cookery lose no time in cultivat-
ing them, for Friend Gelatine may
often serve you we'll and econo-
mically. In soups, salads, entrees
and desserts, gelatine finds the same
welcome from the amateur cook as
from the master chef. Nothing
could be simpler than to add water
to- the ready-to-use mixed gelatine
desserts; and, on the other hand,
few branches of cookery are consid-
cred more difficult than some of the
chefs elaborate gelatine concoc-
tions.

The Cocktail Dressing

CLANS, shrimps and crabmeat all
make delicious cocktails, and they
are just the right appetizers when
the meat course is light one. To
make them place the chilled clans,
the shrimps broken into small pieces
or the faxed crabmeat in cocktail
glasses and pour over each individ-
ual service the following sauce:
Blend together half tablespoonful
of grape juice and lemon juice, half
teaspoonful of grated horseradish,
one tablespoonful of tomato catsup,
quarter of a teaspoonful of celery
salt, one drop of tabasco sauce and
a'few drops of Worcestershire sauce.
Let the shellfish stand in the dress

crabs and shrimps.
CLAIMS
In selecting clans there are the
large chowder, the ordinary stewing
and the Little Neck varieties, the
latter being reserved for serving
raw or steamed.
The latter is perhaps the best
method of cooking these popular BIZ
valves, and served with plenty of
good melted butter (into which the
steamed clans are dipped) they
form an epicurean treat.
When the other varieties of clans
are cooked the hard part should al
ways be finely chopped, as otherwise
it is uneatable, but, like oysters, the
soft portions are cooked only long
enough to have the edges curl
Frequently when clans are util-
lied In cooked dish the liquor is
not included, or only small portion
of 1t. If this is the case scald the
liquor, strain and set on the ice, to
be used either as clam juice or
bouillon. When serving the latter,
after it is poured into the cup,
garnish with large spoonful
of pimento cream. This is very
ornamental and gives, as we'll,
a delicious favor to the bouil-
lon. To make it whip six table
spoonfuls of thick cream solid, add
two tablespoonful of stiff1y whipped
egg whites and teaspoonful of
canned pimento puree. Salt to taste
very little is needed.

A PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES.
Was Alive at One O'cIOck-FOund
Dead at Four. End Of Peaceful
I Career Closes Like a Romance.

Mr., Jerry Taylor, one of Dallas
County's Oldest and most highly re-
spected Colored citizens was found
dead in his room at 1908 Allen St.,
Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock.
Mr.. Taylor arose Sunday morning
as usual and was about the house
and yard in his usual manner and
was in fair health apparently, moth
ing revealing in his facial expression
to indicate the end being so near.
He conversed freely with members
of the household at intervals until
about O'clock. at which time he
retired to his room.
At 4 o'clock the following after
noon Mrs. frankie Williams, one of
the occupants of the home, who pre-
pared dinner for the TayloTs, went
to the room occupied by the Senior
Taylor to notify him that dinner was
ready; but to her surprise before
uttering sound saw the lifeless form
of the aged man face downward on
the floor. She made an alarm and
VIII Taylor, a son, rushed TO the
room where the body was found
cold in death. Just how long
he had been dead no one in
the home knew-although he has
been in feeble health for some time.
Mr.. Taylor was 81 years of age
and came to Dallas in the early days.
Was active in business here for many
years, having been responsibly con-
nected with Transfer Company.
Up to q few years ago Mr.. Taylor
owned valuble property in Munger
Place one of Dallas most beautiful
suburban residential sections. With
the rapid growth of this addition
came a greater demand for these
properties. Mr.. Taylor held out as
long as he could under conditions,
and was forced to sell at a price
that was agreeable. After dispos-
ing OF this property for neat sum
he purchased the building at 1908

Sacred Mohammedan Rock.

A report on the Dome of the Rock
of Jerusalem is shortly to be pub
lished and will be of great interest to
the Mohammedan world, /, may not
be generally known that this place Is
the third in sanctity of all the sanctu-
aries Of Islam, and indeed for a short
period 1t actually formed the Klbla
toward which all Mosiems Frustrated
themselves in prayer.
Among the more important religious
associat ions Of this rock we may men,
ton 1t was here that David and Solo
mon were called to repentance, and
on account Of vision David chose
this site for his temple. From this
same spot Mohammed assembled to the
seventh heaven after his night journey
from Mecca, and lastly 1t Is to be the
scene Of the Great judgment. The
historical associations are not less
striking and such famous names as
Omar Abdei -MalelS, Saladln and Sulei-
man are all connected with the rock,

Mr.. Taylor was a Baptist in belief
and is said to be one of the charter
members of New Hope Church He

the early days, as one Of the fore
most leaders OF the laymen forces.
Surviving Mr.. Taylor are three
sons, Walter, viii and Vann. The
former resides at Forth Worth and
the last named in New York, and
viii lives in Dallas and was in the
home when the body was found, and

Under the present system of oper-

The matter in question was refer
red to the views of President Wells
recently by members of his organiza-

Texas League, who has in hand

president of the Texas Colored

Dear Sir:
We are addressing you this letter

We have in the past seasons used
the League Parks at Beaumont, Dali

rangements at Dallas, Houston and
Fort Worth have been entirely sat

for parks at Beaumont, San Antonio
and Wichita Falls has been too high,
and the result was that our clubs
lost money at these places last above
mentioned, and are barely able t

We have been advised that various
park owners are contemplating a
charge of 20 per cent gross and we
submit that same is entirely toe
high, and If compelled to pay such
price for the use of the parks, our
clubs will be operated at distinct
loss to their owners.

We further submit that arrange

prohibitive rate charged for others
has held up the making of the con-
tracts.
We respectfully solicit your as
sistance in our behalf to the end
that you secure a reasonable rental

thereof, and we thank you in adj

may see fit to give us in the prem

Columbia light and power users are
being supplied in part from Halos ban
and other water powers for the first
time since electricity was first install
ed here. Due to an accident to the big
engine at the plant of the Columbia
Water & Light Company, which tenn
porarily put 1t out of commission, pow
er is being secured for portion of the
day from the Southern Cities Power
Company which brings hydro,eectric
power here from the mountains and
rivers of the eastern section, as well
as securing it in Duck river.
One Of those unaccountablc acct
dents that are always taking place
with the operators of machinery, a
bar on the huge engine of the Water
& Light Company broke and it was
necessary to shift the load to the
small engine. The shift was made al
most without being observed by the
power and light users of the city. But
the small engine while sufficient fol
most of the day demands and between
midnight and day light, is not sufli-
cient for the hours when the peak of
the load is reached
In order to supplement- the power
from the small engine the power from

was turned on and the powers, We're,

were merged or supplemented each

No chances are being taken with an
accident to the transmission lines,
which is always the nightmares of hy-

the large engine as rapidly as pos5i
