EFFICIENCY AIDS
IN THE KITCHEN
SAVE MUCH TIME

One Of the most important aids to
good cookery Is to have your kitchen
properly equipped, writes Domestic
Science specialist in the London
Daily Mail. What used to be lux
uries In this line-cabinets, refriger-
ators, and so on-are now within
the reach Of the majority of careful
housewives. But even If you cannot
afford these labor savers, there is
scope for efficiency In the smallest
details. 1t pays to give attention to
such things as really sharp knives
for filleting and trimming, a sharp,
two-pronged steel fork for turning
the breakfast bacon, really efficient
tin opener, and wooden spoons that
are not too clumsy or too worn.
In this connection l always keep @
pair of sharp scissors handy for
chopping parsley. trimming fish and
bacon, cutting paper for cake-tins,
and many other jobs.
My aluminium saucepans were an
investment-the best quality I could
afford. Being secured daily, inside
and out, with patent cleanser, they
are kept bright and shining with very
little trouble, and economic fuel by
heating in the minimum time.
have drawer full of papers Of
all kinds-lace and dish papers, cut
let frills, and little paper cups for
cakes and souffles. Here | keep pa
per for draining and grease-proof pa
per for cake draining and grilling fish
when l have few spare minutes
I cut out some cake Innings to fit my
tins, and thus save time when l am
"up against it"-and tissue paper for
wiping out frying and omelette pans.
Also, make sure that your furni-
ture is arranged so that steps are
saved in moving from the table to
the stove and sink. A badly planned
kitchen means that needless miles
are walked in year.

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons2

Illinois country which Great Britain
had just taken over from France.
From the beginning Morgan made
himself popular with the wild Indian

Delawares thought so highly of him
that they conferred upon him the
name of their greatest chieftain.
Taimenend, or Tammany. Unlike so
many other white men of the time, he
treated the Indians kindly and justly

them that soon after the outbreak of

Continental army and rose to the rank

he became a leading citizen and a
trustee of the college.

Frontiersm e n
One of the "Long Hunters"
ELMO. SCOTT WATSON

One of the "Long Hunters"
LIE SIGNED his name "Kasper
! Mansker," but you'll find him re-
ferred to In frontier history as Gas
per Mansko." as Casper Mansker"
and as "Caspar Mansco." But what
ever the spelling of his name, the fact
remains that this German-American
(who was probably born In some
Pennsylvania Dutch" settlement early
In the Eighteenth century, was one of
the greatest hunters and Indian fight
ers in all border history. He spoke
only broken English but the voice of
his favorite long rifle. to which he
gave the affectionate name of Nancy"
was a sharp, clear crack that spelled
doom for many a deer and many a
hostile red man.
In 1863 he was one Of party Of 40
"Long Hunters" who passed through
Cumberland Gap and began exploring
the rich country Of Kentucky and
Tennessee. During the course of his
wanderings Mansker discovered the
salt ticks in the present Davidson
county, Tennessee, which were after
wards to bear his name.
After several months of hunting,
some of the party returned home to
North Carolina, some went north into
Kentucky and the remainder under the
leadership of Mansker built boats and
started down the Cumberland. After
series of adventures they reached
Natchez on the Mississippi. where
they sold their furs. hides and tallow.
The next year Mansker was back in
the Kentucky country as the leader of
another party of hunters They gath
cred together an enormous store of
buffalo, elk and deer hides. Then a
party Of Cherokees swept down upon
their camp while they were absent and
destroyed all their peltries, whereupon
one af Mansker's party carved on the
bark of poplar tree this embittered
record: 1890 Deer Skins Lost Ruin
alton by God!"
But they continued their hunting
and on the banks Of the Green river
one day an amusing adventure befell
Mansker. To his ears came strange
sound. Like a shadow he crept
among the trees in its direction. Be
fore him he saw "a man bare-headed,
stretched fiat on the gound, singing
merrily at the top of his voicew The
singer was Daniel Boone, thus consol-
ing himself In the solitude of the
wilderness while he awaited the re-
turn to camp of his brother, Squire
Boone. Such was the first meeting of
these two great pioneers.

covered and to the end of his days

had helped lay"

Baldwins Prepare
 for Minstrel Show

Baldwin Props, one of the new- ly formed organizations in the southeastern section of town have just concluded most successful gridiron season, and are now flashing their thoughts into the future for their first minstrel and dance to be held on January 18th. All members of the club are urged to put in their appearance tonight at 7:30 o'clock at the Washington Hill Community house where one of the most important meetings will be held concerning their com ing minstrel. The boys have worked strenuously and gave their utmost skill and labor in order to make the show a successful one.
 An unusual feat will be that of an all male chorus consisting of 40 voices and from advance re- ports the sporting public is due for some real harmony. Two other excellent warblers will also put in their appearance, Freddy Han- son and Ed McNerney, the latter who is also a comedian is bound to make a hit. Mike Brady, the youth admired by the Hill resi- dents for his Irish songs will be on the program. If ever there was a benefit or any other social func- tion going on in Washington Hill, and Kay Darling and "Ginger" Phelan were omitted on the pro- gram, natives of the hill would go wild. Those two pretty and comedy lassies have agreed, to break a date to be there and lper- form for their friends of the hill. Proceeds gained will enable the Preps to outfit themselves in new football outfits for next year.

TAFT TEAM WAS REAL CLASS DURING
 PAST GRID YEAR
Prep School Boys Coached By Al FusOnie Had
 Perfect Record

Watertown, Dec 1 The 1884 season has been brought to a close, and for the third time in the last four years, the Taft school football team has remained in the unde- feated. united ranks. Though there have been other great teams al Taft, there has never been team equal to this one in power, fight reserve intelligence and speed.
 The opening game with West minister gave ample proof of the power of the Taft team, and re- cognition was immediately felt throughout by the other scheduled opponents. Although they were out weighed, the Taft aggregation out fought the Westminster eleven winning 13-0.
 Taft met a strong Loomis team the following week, and despite a letdown in the first quarter, smash ed out Q 26-7 victory. Lou King, playing brilliantly, counted for two touchdowns, and Dixie Tucker did the same.
 The succeeding Saturday brought the Hotchkiss game and Father s Day. Definitely the underdog al the opening kickoff, Taft emerged victorious by the staggering score of 47-0. Hotchkiss was constantly outfought and outcharged, due to the splendid performance of the entire Taft line, and the backs were not slow in realizing their unique opportunities.
 There was a noticeable letdown in the following game when Taft conquered an unimposing Pomfret team, 33-6.
 The Kent game, a week later, was one of the most bitterly con- tested struggles in the entire ser ies. In this game, Sweeney, by his gripping line crashes, made him. self the most outstanding player on the field. Score, 18-0.
 The final game was heralded as a fitting climax due to the fact that Berkshire had been defeated only once. It proved to be a thrilling struggle from the opening whistle. The scoring power of the Taft backs was almost offset by the play ing of one Berkshire back. Ga lonka. but the irresistible attack of the Red and Blue line decided it and Taft emerged victorious, unde- feated, and united 19-7.
 The success of the team cannot be laid to any one thing, but a great deal of tribute must be paid to the ''unsung heroes the line, who made it possible for the great set of backs to work effectively. Several reserves also deserve a great deal of credit for making the season a truly splendid one-Bar- nard, Head, Crystal, Phillips and Daddario.

TRINITY COACH TO
 HEAD FOOTBALL
 ASSOCIATION

Hartford, Dec A. Ray Costing, track and basketball coach at Trin- ity College, was elected president of the Connecticut Football Asso- citation at the latter's regular meet ing at the Hartford YMCA last night. Fritz Martin, of Middle town, was elected vice-president, and Christ Mccormick, of Man. chester, was reelected secretary treasurer.
 Thomas Kelley, Manchester High school coach and retiring president was elected as a member of the ex- ecutive board with Clyde M. Wa ters, of Bristol, an official in many of the most important college games in the east this season, who was nominated for president and vice-president, but asked in both instances that his name be with drawn with the protestation that he was one of the newer members of the board and desired that some member of longer standing have the offices.
 All the 1894 officers magnani- mously offered to retire to give their positions to other members of the association upon the choice of the members, but Chris McCor- mick, whose plea for retirement was perhaps the strongest of all, was, nevertheless, unanimously re- elected to the office of secretary treasurer.
 The annual banquet was dis cussed and a report from Harry Ginsburg of New Britain, chairman of the banquet committee. was heard but no official action was taken, except to place the date in- definitely before December 22.
 The probability is that Lou Lit tie, coach of the Columbia Univer- sity football team, will be the principal guest speaker although the Lions famous mentor has not yet accepted an invitation to the banquet. Other guests, some of them perhaps including some of the most prominent college coach- es and officials in the east, will probably be invited.
 The meeting had only a com paratively small attendance, 22 casting votes to elect the associa- tion's 1885 officers.

Crucial Games in
 Elk Billiard Loon

Two of the games to be played this week in the Elks three cushion billiard tournament will have a great bearing on the standing of the leaders. George Gearing is scheduled to meet Tow Lawlor and Hugo Lange will match his skill with Bill Stanton.
 Gearing and Lawlor finished last week in tie for second place each having 13 victories and four losses. Gearing will be shooting for 35 and Lawlor needs 21 to win.
 The Lange-Stanton match should be dandy because of the result of their game in the last tourna- ment. It will be remembered that Lange beat Stanton in his last game thereby causing tie be- tween Stanton and Cahill. Cahill won the playoff and the champion ship so Stanton is anxious to re- turn the favor to Lange.

Buff and Fitch
 Paired Again
Especial to the Democrat.)

(SpeClaI 10 the DeIHOcFdt.D
 New Haven, Dec 4.-Johnny Buff, Waterbury middleweight knockout artist, will clash with George Fitch, local Negro star, in a return bout on Matchmaker Dick Gray's all-action amateur boxing show at the Arena on Thursday night. This feature battle will mark the resumption of simon pure punching at the Arena after a holiday layoff.
 Buff and Fitch put on a sensa- tional fight on the last amateur card here several weeks ago in which the local boy, who went into action the underdog, came out of the bout with the plaudits of the fans ringing in his ears, as he stepped out and held his own with the Waterbury Italian youth who has had much more ring experi- ence.
 Buff finally emerged winner but not until he had tasted plenty of Fitch's thumps and he didn't like them any too we'll. Usually rematches have habit of not iiv- ing up to expectations, but this one bids fair to down that old bugaboo as both boys are raring to get at one another.

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec 4.-(UP) --Maxie Rosenbloom, ofrmer light heavyweight champion, shot holes in Al Gainer's chances of again meeting Bob Olin for 8 crack at the title when he defeated the To- cal negro here last night in 12 rounds.
 It was high grade boxing les- son for Gainer. The former cham pion was given 10 rounsd and only lack of steam in Maxie's punches saved him from a knockout. Gain- CT was unable to break through his opponents defense to land a single weighty wallop during the entire 12 rounds.
 Rosenbloom entered the ring at top weight, 1S1 1-2 while Gainer weighed 173 .1-4.
