SAYS:

XA7HEN frying doughnuts the bread
w test is most reliable Put cube
OF bread in the fat. When it begins to
turn golden brown, remove and add
another, counting slowly up to 10. The
bread should then be golden brown,
and the fat ready to use.
Salt is especially effective in setting
browns, blacks, reds and pinks, being
used in the proportion of two cupfuls
of salt to one gallon Of water. For
blues use vinegar in the proportion
of one-half cupful Of vinegar to one
gallon of water, or alum in the proper
ton of one tablespoonful of alum to
one gallon of water. For lavenders,
sugar of lead is more often used, one
tablespoonful of sugar of lead to one
gallon of water being the proportion
Sugar of lead is a poison and should
be handled with great care. Throw
out the solution as soon as used, wash
the hands carefully and put the sugar
of lead in safe place.

the Fifty-nint street bridge somehow

they managed to put the fire out. But
meanwhile something else had hap

and it descended to the roadway of
the bridge in the shape of strip and

Francis Albertanti tells me story
of Owney Madden, generally designat-
ed as racketeer and undesirable citi

mer chaplin at Sing Sing, once said
that he had helped more ex-convicts
go straight than all the reformers. 1t
seems that Madden had an office in a
building on Broadway where there
was frail looking elevator man. For
several days. this man was missing
and Madden asked where he was. He
learned that the elevator man was at
home in bed and it looked as if he
might stay there some time.
This was not so good, as the man

New Automatic Hammer
Saves Smashed FINGERS

Leipzig.-To hit the nail on the head
no longer requires patience and skill,
and smashed thumbs are thing of
the past. Nails and tacks may now be
driven home quickly without effort
by an ingenious automatic device
shaped like a pistol
The mailing pistol, just exhibited at
the Leipzig fair, is loaded with am

and held against the object to be fast

leased and the mailing is accomplished
in few seconds.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
How It Started
By JEAN NEWTON
Why Is 1t "Vixen"?

WYE HAVE no difficulty in under
Wv standing vixen" to be refer
ence to a shrew or scold.
However. that the word itself should
be the feminine form of "fox" will per-
haps occasion some surprise to those
of us who do not at first sight connect
it with the German fuchs" "filchsen."
Just why this word should be so
used. metaphorically, is difficult to
trace etymologically; it had it's origin,
however, undoubtedly. in the qualities
of syness and cleverness, as pos
sessed and practiced by some members
Of the fairer sex and likened to that Of

Dor of farmers in their communities.

having advised the city it no longer
will handle the work in the city and
with acting president A. H. Kurth
of the commission announcing the
city will refuse to assume the respon-
sibility.
Effective Monday, under motion
passed Saturday by the county board,
the services of Mrs. Elizabeth Camp

that the county continue to admin

necessary a court action will be in
stituted to determine who will handle
the work
In deciding to stop administering
poor relief in the city, the county
board advised city officials that the
county will pay rs per cent of mini
mum of So and a maximum of 81 per
month rent in poor relief.
The two boards held a joint meet
ing last Thursday to discuss poor re-

paid for house rent for the poor
should be pared.
Acting President Kurth intended
to lay full information concerning
the action of the county board before
the commission Monday afternoon.
Kurth said he already has told the
county court he is certain the city
commission will promptly refuse to
assume the administration of the re-
lief work in the city.
