Vol. XVI The Second Annual Ball, Held at the Armory, Monday Was a Most Brilliant and Long MRS. WILLIAM EMANUEL AND THE GRAND MARCH. AND BETWEEN FIVE AND SEVEN EN WHO WERE MOST TUMED AND JEWELED. PRODUCING A MOST DAZZLIN THE CREAM OF THE FOUR HU FORCE. A DETAILED REPORT AS TO APPEAR IN THE NEXT MRS. EMANUEL CANNOT BE THE GREAT EFFORT S HALF OF THE CHARITA COLORED PEOPLE IN The Second Annual Grand Charity Benefit Ball, under the management of Mrs. William Emanuel, which was held at the 7th Regiment Armory, last Monday evening, was in every way a most brilliant and long to be remembered pleasant affair. Promptly at half past eight, the celebrated 8th Regiment Band, under the direction of Captain Berry, struck up the dancing music, and the ball was on in full force, and from that time until after 10 o'clock, the people continued to pour into the Armory notwithstanding the fact, that it was a bitter cold night, and two or three other balls were being held in other places. The grand march was formed at 10 o'clock. It was led by Mrs. Emanuel, and Julius N. Avendorph, the Ward McAllister of Chicago, and between five and seven hundred, men and women, who were most richly and elegantly costumed and jeweled participated in it. The calcium light was brought into play during the grand march producing a most dazzling and bewitching effect. The cream of the four hundred was out in full force and never in the history of Chicago in the past, have so many well deported Colored people assembled together under one roof. No rudeness of any description appeared above the surface, to mar the slightest pleasure of the evening, and it is safe to say, that, well on to twelve or fifteen hundred people were present. In every way, it was a social function, long to be remembered and as the 2nd annual charity benefit ball under the management of Mrs. Emanuel far surpassed the first one a year ago. It is freely predicted that her third effort in this direction, January 1, 1812, will far surpass the two that have now passed into history. A detailed report, as to its financial success and the expenses in connection with it will appear in the next issue of The Broad Ax. Mrs. Emanuel cannot be praised too loudly for the great effort she has put forth, in behalf of the charitable institutions among the Colored people in Chicago. The following were the most richly, elegantly and jeweled ladies in evidence at the 2nd annual Grand Benefit Charity Ball. Mrs. Wm.

I beg leave to submit the third annual report of the Louise Juvenile Home the work this year has been hard and full of many dufficulties, and at times it seems almost impossible to continue, but when I look around and see so many in need of a little help that I in some way could give. "Then I think of the words of the divine Scriptures. He that puts his hand to the gospel plow and looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of Heaven," then remembering the promise that I made to God and to man, that "I would die at my post." I forgot then the darkness and the gloom passes away, and I go on struggling and praying for strength. Spiritual work this year I have held prayer meetings 230. Converts thirty-five.

Am I kind in word, and tender, am I all I ought to be, am I always His Defender, Is he satisfied with me? Do I tell the blessed story of the Christ On Calvary, doing all for His own glory, Is He satisfied with me?

MANY OF THE LEADING AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNALS ISSUED FINE AND INTERESTING HOLIDAY EDITIONS. The New York Age, issued by far the best and most interesting holiday edition. It was brimful of live and instructive reading matter. Its stage notes and theatrical news, by Lester Walton, was its leading feature. The Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind., consisted of 12 pages, and contained the cuts of many prominent theatrical people and much space was devoted to Booker T. Washington and his work at Tuskegee. On the whole, the Freeman was not as good as in former years. The Bystander, Des Moines, Iowa was very neat and attractive and it showed that editor and brother Thompson, had done some tall hustling to keep it up to its high standard. Our Review, of Little Rock, Ark.. is worthy of mention. Its editor and owner, E. M. Woods, deserves much credit for turning out such a bright holiday number. It contained a full article from The Broad Ax, on the new play the "Nigger" by Attorney Walter M. Farmer. The Independent, of Denver, Colo, was by far the best of all the western papers. It consisted of 12 pages, of a high quality of paper; and contained cuts representing the homes, owned by well onto 50 or 60 of the leading Colored people of that city. It is an interesting and valuable number and reflects much credit on its owners and publishers. The Illinois Chronicle of December 31 contained a very interesting review and notes as to the number of Colored people engaged in various lines of business in this city. It would well repay any one to familiarize themselves with the holiday issues of the above mentioned papers COMPLIMENTARY BANQUET GIVEN IN HONOR OF SENA- TOR WILLIAM LORIMER.

Cooper is putting forth every effort and is meeting with every encouragement towards establishing a Sanitarium, where special attention can be given to the prevention, care and treatment of Tuberculosis. This Sanitarium is to be known as the Paul Laurence Dunbar Memorial, an ideal sight has been selected in a nearby suburb. The sum of $25,000 is needed to purchase this beautiful building and 9 acres of ground and to erect some cottages necessary equipped for persons in need of Recreation and Recuperation, as well as care for Tuberculosis. To aid in this worthy cause a series of social affairs are being arranged for among the Smart Set. An Entertainment and Dance will be given on Wednesday night, Jan. 11th, 1911, at Woods Annex Academy, 63rd street and Washington avenue. Music by Prof. Garfield Wilson Orchestra, Director. Admission 25 cents. Anna R. Cooper, M. D., Pres. Mrs. Louise Waller, Sec., Mrs. Fannie Turner, Treas. WHICH SHALL IT BE: DOLLARS OR DEATHS? Cities having increasing appropriations for health work show a decreasing death rate. Of these New York is a good example, as a large city, having a great density of population and at the same time a large foreign eelment. Here with an appropriation for health service nearly three times as great as Chicago's there has been effected a steady reduction of the death rate. The comparison is shown by the following table: New York City—Decreasing Death Rates, 1908, 16:8; 1909, 16.0; 1900, 15.9. Chicago—Increasing Death Rates, 1908, 14.0; 1909, 14.6; 1910, 15.2. New York's deaths have decreased 9 per cent 10,000 of population in two years; Chicago's deaths have increased 12 per 10,000 of population in two years. Chicago's appropriation for health conservation decreased 35 per cent during this period. The preventable diseases killed about 15,000 Chicagoans during 1910, these being nearly one-half of the total deaths from all causes. Pneumonia and all other causes with 5679 deaths, tuberculosis comes second in order of highest mortality with 3812 deaths, while diarrheal diseases hold third position, having claimed 3084 little children under two years of age as victims during the twelve months. Other preventable diseases killed as follows : Diphtheria, 840; scarlet fever, 367; typhoid fever, 302; measles, 176, and whooping cough, 175. Six thousand, eight hundred and three children under one year of age and 3269 between the ages of one and five years died during the year. About 65 per cent of these deaths were unnecessary; they were caused by the preventable diseases, the chief of which were the diarrheal diseases. Chicago now has a twenty-one cent per capita Health Department. Some of this money is spent for things not closely connected with health; some part of it is relief. A twenty-one cent Health Department for Chicago can hold the gross death rate under 16 per 1000 for a few years. It can hold the number of deaths from diphtheria at about 800; from scarlet fever at about 600; typhoid at about 300 and baby deaths from summer complaint at about 3000. It can keep smallpox epidemics about twelve years apart and paralyzing epidemics of diphtheria or scarlet fever about four or six years apart. A Health Department spending fifty cents per capita should put diphtheria down to say, 100 deaths per year; scarlet fever to about 500; typhoid to 120; and cut off 5 per cent from the consumption mortality. It should be able to add 10 years to the smallpox intervals, and 3 or 4 years to the diphtheria and scarlet fever intervals. The final conclusion is that we can have freedom from preventable diseases in proportion as we are willing to pay for it. We cannot have something for nothing. A twenty-one cent Health Department means about 15,000 deaths from preventable disease a year. If we pay more, we will have fewer. If we pay less we will have more. AMANDA SMITH'S BIRTHDAY. Amanda Smith birthday occurs January 23rd, and it finds her still active and bringing forth fruit at the ripe age of seventy-four. As the founder and manager of the Orphanage bearing her name, Mrs. Smith has been giving all her time and energies to the care of this institution. During the summer a complete breakdown was threatened, but fortunately the way was opened for her to take a trip to her old "stamping ground" in the east. After an absence of two months she returned very much refreshed, and just in time to superintend the completion of a much-needed dormitory, funds for which have been forthcoming. Her right hand of power is an executive committee, whose purpose is to assist in placing the Orphanage upon a sound basis financially and otherwise. CHATEAU RINK NOTES.

Graham & Sons, bankers, opened their new $100,000 building at 659 West Madison street, the first of this week, the bank having moved from its old quarters next door since it closed Saturday. A large crowd of depositors was on hand, as well as financiers and personal friends, and all inspected the new structure with approval. Joseph W. Graham, son of Andrew J. Graham, founder of the bank, opened the institution in its new location by making the first deposit. The building is a handsome structure of concrete, with bronze and marble finishings, and with a heavy granite front. The bank now has 18,000 depositors, having grown twenty-four per cent during the last year. It was founded twenty-two years ago by Andrew J. Graham, the old number being 174 West Madison street. Frank J. Graham and Ralph Graham are the sons associated with Andrew Graham in the bank. The former was married last May to Miss Carlye Gray. Mr. Graham, Sr., celebrated his twenty-fifth wedding anniversary last November. Mr. Graham expressed himself as delighted with the outlook at the opening of his new building, said to be the handsomest banking structure outside of the Loop district. TUBERCULOSIS MILLIONS DOUB LED IN 1910. $15,000,000 Spent in Consumption Fight —Over 62 Per Cent. Public Money. How the money spent last year in the anti-tuberculosis campaign practically doubled that spent in 1969, is shown in the second annual statistical statement published today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in its official organ, the Journal of the Outdoor Life. The statement, which is based on reports from all parts of the United States, shows that in 1910, nearly $15,000,000 was spent in the fight against tuberculosis, as opposed to $8,000,000 spent in 1909. The largest item of expense in 1910 was for treatment in sanatoria and hospitals, $11,376,500 being expended for that purpose, or more than double the amount for 1909. The anti-tuberculosis associations spent $760,500, and the tuberculosis dispensaries, $889,000. The special municipal and state expenditures aggregate $1,750,000. The statement declares that the most significant fact in the survey of the year's work is the increase in the percentage of public money spent. While in 1909, 53.5 per cent of the total expenditures was from federal state, municipal or county funds. 62.6 per cent. came from public appropriations in 1910. The actual amount of public money spent in tuberculosis work this past year was $9,267,900, or more than double the amount from this same source in 1909. This fact indicates, the National Association declares, that anti-tuberculosis associations are gaining ground, by securing increased appropriations from public money. New York State again leads the country in the money spent, her total of $4,245,000 being more than double her expenditures for tuberculosis work in 1909. Pennsylvania is the second state and Massachusetts comes third. RECEPTION AND WHIST PARTY IN HONOR OF MISS W. H. COOPER. There was a grand reception given in honor of Miss Willie H.

DODGING THE TAX MAN How One Wealthy New York Family Laughs at His Bill. One method by which the rich man evades his legal taxes and leaves the poor man to bear the tax burden alone Mr. A. T. Nock describes in the American Magazine as follows: "Let me tell you a story of a wealthy New York family, one of the many resident nonresident families whose legal headquarters are in New Jersey, but who are New Yorkers for every purpose but taxation. "The family consists of three persons—man, wife and mother. They have a magnificent home in New York and under the nonresident law were assessed moderately on their household goods and ornaments. "The assessment, $10,000, was entered against the man as head of the family. He appeared before the commissioners, swore that he did not own the property, and the assessment lapsed for that year. "Next year it was entered against all three—man, wife and mother. Each appeared and swore that he (or she) did not own the property, and again the assessment lapsed. When asked who the owner of the property was they replied, by advice of counsel, that it was the commissioners' business to find out. "The long and short of it was that to save the tax bill of about $170 a year the three had incorporated themselves as a New Jersey corporation for the sole purpose of holding those household goods. The property was owned by the family as corporation property, and none of the three was personally liable." BUMPED IN A BAG. The Newest Scheme For Stealing Gold From Uncle Sam's Coins. Secret service agents of the United States government have been working for some time in Maiden lane, New York, in an effort to trace robbers who have devised a new form of coin trimming. Gold coins are put in a burlap bag and shaken briskly for an hour or two. The result is that tiny pieces of the metal are knocked off the surfaces and edges and cling to the bag. The coins are then put into circulation apparently no more worn or battered than most money that has been in use for a year or two. The bag is burned up, and this leaves the melted gold, which is gathered up and sold to the jewelry manufacturers. The subtreasury and the treasury department at Washington have been receiving large quantities of gold coins of recent date which are short in weight from 5 to 15 per cent and which seem worse battered than coins subjected to the usual wear and tear. On microscopic investigation they discovered that the gold pieces had been subjected to some violent treatment, and they sought clews and discovered the method of stealing from the coins by shaking them in a sack.—Christian Herald.

"Men who thought there was danger that the America might be torn to pieces by a storm had not reflected well upon the physical conditions surrounding a ship of the air." says Walter Wellman in Hampton's Magazine. "A steamship or sailing vessel is butfeted by the wind and wave, but it is partly immersed in an ocean of fluid which offers great resistance and subjects it to violent shocks. "An airship is completely immersed in a medium which offers so little resistance that shocks are impossible. It is not an easy fact to grasp, but is still a fact, that the only resistance an airship offers to the wind, the only strain or pressure upon her parts, is that which she herself creates with her engine and propellers. "To understand this principle imagine the America in the air far out over the ocean. It is calm; no engine is running; the crew, perchance, is asleep. Up springs a gale, fast gathering force till it reaches a velocity of fifty miles per hour. Nothing whatever in the motion, the vibration, the pitching or rolling of the ship alarms and awakens the crew. The America being a free balloon, because no engine is turning, simply becomes a part of the wind, so to speak, moves with the wind, offers no resistance to it, flows along as peacefully as if it still were dead calm. A member of the crew awakes, rubs his eyes, goes to his post, but if it be night and he cannot see the ocean he has no idea whether the ship is standing still or moving fifty miles per hour. If he strikes a match to light his pipe the flame curls straight upward, precisely as if he were in a closed room—an experience which many of us have had in ordinary spherical ballooning. "Suppose now the crew be roused. An engine is started, a pair of propellers set in motion. Then, and then only, does the ship offer resistance to the wind, and the measure of her resistance is the energy exerted by the propellers—just that, no more, no less. Nor does it make any difference whether the velocity of the wind be ten or a hundred miles per hour nor yet any difference whether the ship be headed into the wind or with it—the result is the same. Obviously, as long as the ship had sea room—could keep herself up in the air—no storm that ever blew could hurt her. But it makes a tremendous difference as to the course and destination of the ship from what quarter the winds come and with what force they blow." Rats and the Plague The bubonic plague has killed 160,000 people in the last fourteen years in the city of Bombay alone, the highest mortality being 20,000 in 1903 and the lowest 5,000 during the past year. The reduction of the mortality can be traced very largely to the number of rats killed in the city, which are the industrious carriers of the disease. A half million rats were killed last year in that city alone, of which number 90,000 were examined by the bacteriologists of the health department, and 9,000 of them were found to be infected with the plague. The wholesale destruction of these rodents was accomplished by the most careful municipal plan and co-operation of health and police departments, which scattered bread smeared with poison certain --- A.

Ten Largest Cities Of the ten largest cities in the world the United States has three. These are New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, which rank respectively as second, fifth and ninth in the world list. No other country has as many as the United States, and only Russia has more than one, St. Petersburg and Moscow ranking eighth and tenth. The largest city in the world is London, which has 7,500,000 population, or nearly 3,000,000 more than New York, which is the second in size. Paris is third on the list and is one of five cities that have between two and three millions each. Fourth in order is Tokyo, and then after Chicago comes Berlin, while the seventh and only remaining city of the ten is Vienna.-Kansas City Star. Won by a Word. Sol Gage, superintendent of transportation, recently recommended a man in the Lake Shore's employ for an increase in pay. Mr. Gage and this employee engaged in some correspondence over a technical detail of some transportation regulation. In reply to Mr. Gage's third letter this letter came: "Instead of clarifying the situation, your letter of yesterday serves rather to obfuscate it." "Any servant of a great corporation who can use the word 'obfuscate,' and use it right, deserves more than $60 a month, and I am going to see that he gets it," says Mr. Gage.-Cleveland Leader. Superstitious Hungarians. In many country districts in Hungary superstition is still rife. One of the latest evidences of this comes from Grosswardein. In the communities of Vaskoh and Baresd severe earthquake shocks were experienced, and in the former place the church bells were started ringing. A "witch" living in the neighborhood persuaded the peasants that the devil was hungry and was shaking the earth in his anger. Thereupon they collected a number of calves and goats and drove them into a cave where the devil was supposed to be dwelling. After this they set fire to the forest in two places to drive out the devil living there. rnew to Avoid Sagging Skirts. Even when properly made a skirt of few gores will sag in the wearing, because the cloth is heavy or is twisted in the laundering. There are too many bias lines to them. To avoid this choose whenever possible a pattern of many gores. The seams give strength, and the lower edges are not wide enough or bias enough to do much if any drooping. How to Tie Dress Shields Instead of sewing or pinning shields in a waist, sew a thin ribbon at each end of the shield and sew similar pieces at the proper distance apart in the armholes of all waists. The shields are quickly tied in place, they are easily changed in wash walsts, and there are no pins to rust or prick. How to Draw Threads Easily. To draw threads easily in articles for hemstitching first soap the goods where threads are to be drawn. Make a lather and apply with a shaving brush. When the linen is dry the threads will then pull out easily. TREATMENT OF HORSES. How to Feed and Water Them In Hot Weather. Extremely hot weather brings more or less suffering to a horse, and if the animal does not receive proper care and attention at this trying period disastrous results are sure to follow. Above all things else, says Country Life In America, do not overwork the farm horse or force the driver for too much speed or make long drives without frequent rests. At this season, when water is usually more or less scarce and horses apparently have an insatiable thirst, the matter of watering deserves considerable attention. Do not give the horse too much at a time, and it is safest to give none at all while he is very warm. A bran mash twice a week will assist in keeping the system cool, and in case of overfat a dram of pulverized saltpeter added to the mash will be beneficial. On very hot days allow work horses two hours for dinner instead of one, and do not feed until they are somewhat cooled off. Also remove the harness at this time; this extra labor is more than offset by the comfort it gives the animals. In a three horse team the middle one is most liable to heat exhaustion because of the additional heat radiated upon him by the horse on each side. On this account it is advisable to change the horses so that one will not be compelled to be in the middle for more than half a day at a time. The pernicious pestering of files is another matter that cannot be overlooked. The dairy cows and calves, as well as the horses, can be well protected from flies by such preparations as are for sale at almost all drug stores or are advertised in the farm papers. These preparations are not expensive and are best applied with a sprayer, although a brush or rag will do if a sprayer is not available. For the work horse a light treatment every morning will afford better protection from flies than a net or blanket and is much cooler. According to another writer, it is allowable when a horse is hot to let him have three or four swallows of cool water, but no more. The few swallows will help cool him, and another limited drink may be given every few minutes for four or five times, after which he may drink his fill without danger. In careless or inexperienced hands, however, the only safe way is to let the horse stand for half an hour or more with no water until he is fairly cooled off. Salt is necessary to horses, but it should not be given to them in large quantities and irregularly. An excess of salt at one time produces congestion of the stomach and induces excessive thirst. The best plan is to keep rock salt in reach of the horses at all times, so that they can satisfy their appetite by an occasional lick. If you have not followed this practice, introduce it gradually by giving the animal a little salt with his regular ration for a week. TEST OF FABRICS. How to Detect Frauds In Silk, Linen or Woolen Goods. Of the goods sold as "all wool" there is not one-tenth that is genuine. Generally the main component is cotton. The test for this is simple. All that is necessary is to pull out a few threads and apply a lighted match. Cotton will go off in a blaze; wool will shrivel up. To distinguish pure linen from counterfeit is even easier. The intended buyer need but wet the finger and apply it to the goods. If they are pure linen the moisture will pass through, the spot touched will be soaked at once, and almost immediately one side will be as wet as the other. Frauds are more numerous in silk than in any other fabric, but here also the material of adulteration is cotton. Its presence can be readily discovered. Draw a few threads out. The piece of cotton will snap off short when pulled, while the silk will stretch and permit a considerable pull before breaking. The boasted silk of our grandmothers that "stood by itself" is not necessarily the best. Modern ingenuity has devised means by giving the poorest articles the best body requisite for this purpose. Shellac and other sticky substances mixed through the fabric will produce as stiff a silk as ever graced the wardrobe of our ancestors. Such stuff is quite worthless, however, as it quickly rots. How to Make Oatmeal Lemonade. Lemon oatmeal is a drink of which invalids rarely tire. Mix a tablespoonful of fine oatmeal into a smooth paste with cold water, then pour over it three pints of boiling water, stirring well all the time. Place in a saucepan and boil until the quantity is reduced to two pints. Set it aside to cool and then pour the clear gruel away from the sediment. Add to this the juice of a lemon and a small quantity of powdered sugar. This may be served hot or cold, and it is good either way. Artificial Mummies: Artificial mummies are made in Italy, Germany and France and thence shipped to Egypt, where they are sold to dealers in antiquities. A real skull is used, but all the rest is ingenious imitation. Umbrella Economy. Umbrellas last much longer if during fine weather they are never kept rolled up. If this is done the silk will soon begin to fray at the folds, and a rent will be the result. When wet an umbrella should be opened to its fullest extent on entering and dried with the handle downward. Ivy Bushes. Ivy bushes used to be hung over the doors of taverns as signboards, because the plant was sacred to Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. The Uses of the Sword. The uses to which the sword has been put seem to have been almost as varied as its appearance when we recall the anecdote told of Charlemagne, who said as he used the pommel of his sword to put his stamp on treaties, "sign them with this end, and with the other I will take care that they are kept." Bamboo Pens. Bamboo' pens have been used in India for over a hundred years. They are made like the ordinary quill pen and for a few hours' writing are said to be very serviceable. Smallest Book. The smallest book in the world was made in Italy. It is the text of a letter written by the inventor of the pendulum clock in 1615. Although it is four-tenths of an inch long and a quarter of an inch wide, it contains 208 pages, each with nine lines and from ninety-five to a hundred letters. Alaska's Fisheries Apart from its fur wealth, the greatest fishing waters in the world are probably those of the Alaska seas and her tidal streams. Dates and Cream Cheese For a date and cream cheese salad wash and examine half a pound of dates. Remove the pits and stuff the cavities with Philadelphia cream cheese or with Neufchatel. Arrange them on lettuce leaves and serve with mayonnaise dressing. The salad will be at its best if chilled. The Bearded Vulture The largest bird of prey in the old world is the lambmeier, or bearded vulture, which has a wing expanse of nine to ten feet. Whiting. All whitings are made from chalk. The more common preparations sometimes contain considerable gritty matter, which scratches highly polished surfaces. These coarse particles may be removed in this manner: Mix the whiting with water to a paste and then add water until it is very thin. Strain through cheesecloth and let the strained mixture settle. Pour off the water and dry the whiting. Big Chestnuts The chestnuts in Tabtii grow five or six times as large as in this country. Millet. Millet was once the daily food of the masses in Europe, but has gradually been dropped and is eaten now mostly by the Slavs beyond the eastern frontiers of Europe and by the negroes in Africa. An East Indian Custom. An odd custom prevails in India. A native visitor never takes his departure of his own accord. Etiquette requires the host to dismiss him, which he does in a polite way, not by saying, "Go," but by saying hospitably: "Pray, come again. The sooner we see your face the better we shall be pleased." Java's Flying Frog. The flying frog of Java is usually a beautiful green in color, white underneath, with orange yellow soaring membranes between the fingers, and it changes color like the chameleon. This frog feeds on insects, remains quiet in bushes by day and when disturbed glides away to quite a distance. Broken Celluloid Broken celluloid articles can be mended by softening the broken edges in ether, applying collodion liberally and holding the pieces together under a thoroughly warmed iron weight. The King's English. The origin of the term "the king's English" seems to be a little shady, but there is no doubt as to what it meant and means. It dates back to the days when the king of England came as neat to being educated as was anybody in the kingdom, and if he couldn't speak correctly there was no use in anybody trying. A.

Cats suffer much in the big cities. The forum of Trajan in Rome was some years ago an inclosure for cats that could never climb the walls and that multiplied there in no very happy cireumstances. Now there is a sim- ilar prison near the Pantheon. But the worst case of such captivity is in Venice, where wild and savage cats are hemmed in by water in a certain disused cloister. Strangers are apt on seeing the poor animals in a state of famine to run to a neighboring butch- er’s for meat, but must distribute it warily for fear of ravenous jaws. The butcher seems well used to this whim of tourists. Hunting Season's Death Roll. ‘The hunting season of 1910 cost 113 lives, according to statistics from twenty-three states collected by the Chicago Tribune. This is considerably more than were killed in any previous season of which there is a record. The loss of life in 1909 was elghty-seven, in 1908 it was fifty-seven, in 1907 It was eighty-two, and in 1906 it was seventy-four. The number of injured this season was less than a year ago, only elghty- one. “Mistaken for a deer” and “shot by 2 companion” continue to lead as the reasons for the shooting of hunters. Frank L.

How the Vegetables and Cans Should Be Presered. Absolute sanitary cleanliness and the best materials procurable are the first essentials for success in canning. ‘The vegetables should be as fresh rom the garden as possible. ‘They are better picked in the early morning with the dew still on them. As a gen- eral rule, young vegetables are supe- ‘rior in flavor and texture to the more mature ones. Corn and beans should be canned as soon as possible after gathering. as sweetness and flavor are absorbed by their pods and husks. If for any reason the canning of spinach or other greens, string beans, aspara- gus or okra cannot be attended to at Jonce, put in cold water or a cold, damp place until ready to attend to them. All root vegetables and greens must be thoroughly washed. Have the kitch- ‘en well swept and clean before be- ginning canning and the towels and aprons of the workers beyond suspi- cion. Even if the cans to be used were clean when put away sterilize them afresh, together with all the other utensils used in the work. The best way to do this is to put cans and cov- ers, together with any other glass that is to be used, into a kettle of cold wa- ter and bring gradually to the boiling point. Then boll fifteen minutes. Leave the cans in this hot bath until ready to use, then take out one at a time and fill. Be sure tops and cans are a perfect fit and that the can rub- bers are new. Black rubbers are more @urable than the white. Glass is the most satisfactory Jar to use in canning. Not only will « good glass can last indefinitely with intelli- gent care, but tin is more or less sola- Die in the acids or juices of fruits and vegetables. While there are many Kinds of glass jars, the one with a glass top and spring clamp proves most satisfactory. In selecting a jar give the preference to those with the wide mouths.—Delineator For August. The BELLE MEADE CLUB Buffet and Cafe FRANK H. LEWIS, Proprietor SOs9 Armour Ave. Cor.
