bunch of them spoke of it while they
lunched together at noon

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Oysters are good during months,
the names of which contain an r."
They are wholesome during the
summer months If fresh, but are not
solid and are of rather poor flavor.
Oysters r easily digested. Eaten
raw or in a plain stew they are ex-
cellent food for children and inva-
lids.
When oysters are served raw they
are usually left in half the shell or
served in cocktail glasses. However
grapefruit shells or green peppers
may be used very attractively. The
oysters should be thoroughly chilled
for serving.
Oysters on the Half Shell
Allow six oysters for each person
Have the fish market man open
them. Arrange on a bed of crushed
ice and serve with a quarter of a
lemon on each plate. This is used
as the first course at a formal
luncheon or dinner.
Oyster Cocktail
Seven small raw oysters, 1
dessertspoon tomato catsup, l tea
spoon lemcn juice, Il teaspoon
| grated horseradish, few grains salt,
l teaspoon minced celery. paprika.
This rule is for individual cock
tails. Wash, drain and chill oysters.
Mix ingredients and chill thoroughly
Serve in cocktail glasses or green
pepper cups on a bed of ice. While
peppers are in season they are a
happy choice. The in this
recipe makes an oyster cocktail less
easily digested than oysters On the
half-shell.
Plain stew
One pint oysters, 2 cups hot milk.
2 tablespoons butter, l tablespoon
salt, few grains pepper.
Put oysters in a colander and pour
over one cup water. Save this
liquor. PICK over oysters. Heat
liquor to the boiling point and strain
through a cloth. Add oysters and
cook until plump. Remove oysters
and strain liquor again. Add butter,
oysters, liquor, salt and pepper to
hot milk and heat thoroughly but
do not let boil. Serve at once.

The loosely fitting coat and trou-

extreme, they add a pleasing color

RAY MORRIS IS
VICTIM OF
DEATH

The sudden desth Saturday noon
OF Ray Morris, splendid young citizen
Of our city, and the belief expressed
by the attending physician that II
was caused by sewer gas poisoning,
due to defective plumbing, caused a
great deal Of comment In Gunnison
this week, the deepest sympathy being
expressed for his wife and daughter.
who were SO suddenly bereft.
Mr.. Morris was young man in the,
prime of life, and apparently of most
vigorous health. He came to Gun-
nison q year ago from Denver, being
associated with A. H. Chipper6sld in
the carpenter business, and living
with that family until three months
ago, when the Morris family moved,
into the house alongside. Consider.
able difficulty was experienced with
the plumbing, which was alleged to bo
out Of order and after unsatisfactory
negotiations with the ownes. Mr.
Morris had thrown up his lease and
packed his household furniture, pre-
paratory 70 moving to Denver this,
week to work at his trade until tisr
spring. A pet canary bird had dieds

TWO SERIOUS

Two rather serious fires during the

7RA|L STRIKE IS
THREATENED
AGAIN

When the public thot the railroad
strike was settled, it was too hopeful.
To be sure, the men accepted their Is
per cent cut Of July first and the Lab
or Board agreed that Il would cousid-
er no more reductions until the roads
had put down freight reasonably.
Nevertheless, the roads have failed to
make any l6 per cent reduction ss
ordered in spots, but propose instead
n horizontal 10 per cent reduction in
freight for SIX MONTHS. or until
the next crops have to be moved. They
now post notices of another drastic
wage reduction effective in 80 days.
The percentage of the new cut is not
declared, and conferences are called
for the 20th Of this month between the
men and the roads. During this con-
ference, which may last many days,
the various crafts and brotherhoods
will present their side Of the argu-
ment.
1t looks very much as tho the Labor
Board was buncoing the men. 1t
cannot and dare not enforce its orders
against the railroads. which openly
houts its orders as without any sug-
gestion Of authority. The roads are
also buncoing the public and commit
ting crime against business by
keeping up exhorbitant freight rates
which paralyze trade.

plete the installation of complete

The College has recently received
