The returns are coming in from the various parts of the country covering the Lincoln Day celebrations. Along with this very solemn commemoration we notice some freak elements entering into some of the celebrations. For instance down in New York City, they sold at auction fifty idle, shiftless, white men. Men seeming unable to make a living. Some wild eyer reformers and philanthropists grew hysterical over the scene. Down in Baltimore the great city of churches, a college graduate offered himself for sale for five years for his "board and clothes." These events coming on the natal day of the great emancipator, and undercurrent of feeling indicates that society and the world does not care so much for the poor white man as Lincoln did for the slave. These are the facts, and yet what a world of thought clusters about it. Human refues—derelicts in the ocean of humanity. The world is full of those who for some cause cannot keep up with the possession. THE BOND AND THE FREE. There is a wide range between what may be termed "interest in the slave" and interest in a "poor" white man who refuses to work and keep up with the possession. The interest of President Lincoln and that of hundreds of abolitionists, in the Negro slave was to remove the bonds of slavery, and enable the MAN to develop. Lincoln's idea was to give the slave his freedom, give him the rewards of his toil, and to surround him with those things that make for good American citizenship. These white men sold on the auction block and offering themselves for their "board and clothes," offers a vastly different problem for the consideration of the sociologist. Here is a problem when the victim is a free race, with opportunities open for him on every hand, with the rewards of his labor poured into his hands more lavishly and generously than at any period in the world history. The white man who fails to make good in America is a rank failure, due to no other cause than inate deprivation and laziness. Up to the time Mr. Lincoln's interest in the Negro slave materialized into the emancipation proclamation, the --- VOL. XV. HUMAN REFUSE sociologist considered a problem wherein the victim was a chattel, a thing, an animal. He was fed, scantily clad and WATCHED. He received no education from which he might derive refinement and culture. He toiled all day in the burning sun and biting cold without reward for service rendered. He received scant moral training to develope his civic virtues. That the Negro should have emerged from slavery a human being capable of so readily grasping the real problem of life has been the surprise of the age. A WORD ABOUT TRAMPS. When the necessary legal enactments were passed transforming the Negro slave into a free man and an American citizen, then to an extent, the two became competitors. It is so easy to sit down by the roadside and day dream over the phantasy that "the world owes us a living." True the world owes ALL of us a living, but we have got to hustle to collect the debt and in the hustling there is liable to be sweat on your brow. We often wonder if it ever occurred to the white man that there are no Negro tramps, begars, etc., and that the country is full of nomads of this class who are white. It is passing strange that this is true. In our life time, we have been in many parts of America and met people of all classes. It has been ours to meet tramps graduates from the very best schools of learning and of the best homes. They were brilliant minds gone to join the great submerged tenth. We have also met Negroes from the best schools and colleges and out of splendid homes, blacking boots, carrying the hod, scouring floors and washing windows. All this he did with a soul full of hope that his chance would come and a hand ready and willing to do anything. The Negro is to proud to beg or to exhibit his social sores to be licked by the dogs of a modern Dives. He just toils on and keeps the faith. Denied opportunities have closed the door of progress to him so often that his salvation lies in the hope of tomorrow. The earth, the sea, and the air gives wealth and success to the white. His failure is vicious not lack of comprehension. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1909. REWARDS FOR ALL. In this day we hear much of the submerged element. We hear of the large and always increasing class demanding the help of those who have. It is a matter of great pride to the Colorado Statesman, that coming from slavery at the bidding of Lincoln, the Negro has asked for nothing but work. By means of his splendid muscle and awakening brain he is building his way up through race prejudice to race greatness. He lays his hand to the plough and looks not back. He is paying the great debt of Lincoln by his splendid citizenship. In the brief interval of forty-six years he has learned his place in the economy of the nation and he is working out the problem. WASHINGTON NEWS. Senator Newlands of Nevada has just issued a long statement in which he makes some suggestions as to the enactment of a law broad enough in its scope to deal with the race question in the United States as it affects not only the Negro but the Japanese and all dark races residing within the country. The situation now confronting the people of the Pacific coast respecting the Japanese problem was primarily the motive prompting Senator Newland to make this announcement. The phase of this statement which would naturally interest the colored people is not that which relates to the acute racial prejudice growing out of the attempt on the part of California and some other Coast states to pass laws in opposition to the Mikado's subjects, but rather the portion of it in which he discusses the question of the future policy of the United States Government respecting the Negro race. Senator Newlands said in part: "The race question is now the most important question confronting the nation; that already we have drifted regarding the black race into a condition which seriously suggests the withdrawal of the political rights heretofore mistakenly granted—the inauguration of a humane national policy which, with the cooperation and aid of the Southern states, shall recognize that the blacks are a race of children, requiring industrial training and the development of self-control, and other measures intended to reduce the danger of the race compilation, formerly sectional, but now becoming national." In appreciation of the sincere services rendered to the colored people of the country by Ohio's distinguished statesman, Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker, and with a feeling that the race owes him a lasting debt of gratitude, a Foraker Remembrance Committee has been organized here among some of the prominent colored citizens for the purpose of presenting Senator Foraker with a silver loving cup as a testimonial of the love and esteem in which he is held by the entire race. It is the purpose of the committee to make this loving cup a national race emblem, typifying the gratitude the colored people feel is due Senator Foraker not only for the true service rendered the race as well as to humanity in the Brownsville case, but as a grateful appreciation for his whole public career which has been consistently devoted to the welfare and uplift of the colored people. The names of those contributing will be enrolled upon parchment paper and presented to the Senator along with the silver loving cup. The committee hopes to have all the subscriptons in by February 15th, in order to have appropriate engravings made.

Wheaton, Ill., Feb. 7.—Fashionable, dainty Wheaton College yesterday settled a race problem projected by the matriculation of a Kentucky colored girl in Women's Hall, the dormitory which is the home of the wealthier coeds in the Congregational institution of art and classics.

The colored girl is Miss Nellie Bryant, of Louisville, Ky., who with many other colored students was forced to leave Berea College in her native state by the recent constitutional amendment segregating the races in all educational institutions. New Orleans, Feb. 8.—Because one of the text-books submitted for use in the schools of Louisiana contains a direction to pupils to write an essay on Booker T. Washington, it is declared that the book will get into the schools only over the vigorous protest of the confederated bodies of this state. General Lewis Guion, chairman of the historical committee of the United Confederate Veterans, is now engaged in his quadrennial examination as to whether there are reflections on the South or its leaders, or any matter objectionable to southern sentiment in books used in the public schools of Louisiana. He noted the Booker T. Washington r eference Friday.

GATUN DAM ALL RIGHT ONLY ENEMIES OF PRESENT POLICY ARE THOSE WHO WANT NO CANAL Washington. — Any attack made hereafter on the lock type of the Panama canal, according to the opinion expressed by President Roosevelt in a message transmitting to Congress Wednesday the report made by the engineers who recently visited the canal zone with President-Elect Taft, "is in reality merely an attack upon the policy of building any canal at all." The report, in Mr. Roosevelt's opinion, shows in clearest fashion that the Congress was wise in the position it took and that it would be an inexcusable folly to change from the proposed lock canal to a sea level canal "I commend to you," he says to Congress, "the most careful consideration of the report. They show that the only criticism that can be made of the work on the isthmus is that there has sometimes been an almost excess of caution in providing against possible trouble. As to the Gatun dam itself, they show that not only is the dam safe, but that on the whole the plan already adopted would make it unnecessarily high and strong and accordingly they recommend that the height he reduced by twenty feet, which change in the plans I have accordingly directed." President Roosevelt says that the engineers who made the report on the Panama canal "are of all the men in their profession within or without the United States, the men who are on the whole best qualified to pass upon these very questions which they examined." The engineers report that as the Gatun earth dam was the central point on discussion they gave it under instructions from Mr. Taft, "first consideration in the light of all new evidence" and they add that "the type of dam now under consideration is one which meets with our unanimous approval." They say they are "satisfied that there will be no dangerous or objectionable seepage through the materials under the base of the dam; nor are they so soft as to be liable to be pushed aside by the weight of the proposed dam so as to cause dangerous settlement. We are also satisfied that the materials available and which it is proposed to use are suitable and can readily be placed to form a tight, stable and permanent dam." They report that they "do not find any occasion for changing the type of canal that has been adopted. A change to sea level plan at the present time would add greatly to the cost and time of construction, without compensating advantages, either in capacity of the canal or safety of navigation, and hence would be a public misfortune." The engineers who compose the board are Frederick Steers, James G. Schuyler, Arthur P. Davis, Isham Randolph, Henry D. Allen, John R. Freeman and Allen Hazen. Persian Earthquake Losses.

A pure and delicious candy made at home for use at parties may be termed "layer candy." It is made as follows: White layer—Take two cups of granulated sugar, one cup of cream or milk and a piece of butter about the size of a hickory nut. Put in a pan and boil, stirring all the time, until it forms a soft ball when tried in cold water. Then add flavoring, nuts, and candied cherries or candied pineapple, or other fruit of similar character. Turn out in a deep pan, smooth off the top with a knife which has previously been dipped in cold water. Pink layer—use the same proportions as above, using light brown sugar in place of the granulated, and just before removing from the fire add a few drops of fruit coloring, and a better result will be obtained by flavoring each layer differently. After this layer has been beaten until perfectly cold turn out on top of the white layer and smooth with a knife the same as stated above. Chocolate layer—Process as above, using light brown sugar. When about half done add one-fourth of a cake of chocolate. After beating until perfectly cold, turn out on top of the pink layer and smooth it in the same way as the first two layers were smoothed. Put in a cold damp place so that the layers of the candy will not separate, and when served slice down like layer cake. PROPER CARE OF DISHCLOTH. Useful Article That Too Often Suffers from Neglect. This seems the most uninviting of subjects, yet not more so than the 12x12 crash when it has been forgotten by the little unsophisticated housewife. There are housekeepers who have delved into corners and excited themselves unduly over surface dust, and some who have waded knee deep into an ocean of theoretic germs, but have overlooked the practical dishcloth. I say it in the singular, advisedly, because they have but one. They use it to the death and then they cremate it in the kitchen range. There follows a brief period of cleanliness, afether which the old neglect begins. No woman understands the first principles of hygiene until she has an instinctive feeling that it is best to buy six dishcloths and to treat them to a weekly bath in the regular wash, as she does the tea towels. Apple Grunt. This is an old Dutch recipe that has been handed down in our family: Six good-sized apples peeled and sliced, one cup of molasses, one cup sugar, a little salt and cinnamon. Make a dough of one scant pint of flour, one teaspoon soda, one teaspoon cream tartar, one-half teaspoon salt. Rub one-half tablespoon of shortening into flour and mix with buttermilk or sour milk to make it right to roll. Put one-half of the apples in a deep agate pan or kettle, season with one-half cup molasses, one-half cup sugar, salt and cinnamon. Divide the dough into two parts and roll one-half to size to cover apples. Put in another layer of apples with remainder of molasses, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Cover with other half of dough, with slits cut in top. Put in one cup of hot water, cover closely, and cook on top of stove from 30 to 45 minutes, taking care not to scorch.—Exchange Hot Cheese Sandwiches A good way to use up dry cheese, either American, pineapple or Edam. The last two grate down to the very rind and are excellent for seasoning. Slice bread that is a day old, thin and cut into rounds. Spread the rounds thickly with cheese, flavor with salt, cayenne and just a touch of Worcestershire sauce. Press two layers together with the cheese between. Have butter melted in your blazer, or if you like olive oil use that instead of butter. Fry the cheese sandwiches golden brown, first on one side, then on the other, and serve piping hot on hot plates. Coffee, ale or beer should accompany these sandwiches. Cream Puffs. Melt one-half cup butter in one cup hot water and while boiling beat in one cup flour. When cool stir in three eggs, one at a time without first beating. Drop the mixture on tins in small spoonfuls and bake in moderate oven. Filling—One and one-half cups of milk, two eggs, four tablespoons flour, sugar to taste. Cook in double boiler. Another filling—Whip one cup sweet thick cream stir in one cup mashed strawberries, fresh or canned and add sugar to taste. Fried Apples. The materials needed are six apples, one tablespoon brandy, one tablespoon lemon juice, one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon butter. Core and slice apples round; cover with the mixture of lemon, sugar and brandy and soak one-half hour. Fry till soft in the butter, and when done sift with powdered sugar. These are nice served with cake or hot biscuit. Smoked Sturgeon Salad. Remove the brown skin and all the fat from one-half pound of smoked sturgeon, cut into one-quarter-inch cubes; to this add one cup cucumber, three hard-boiled eggs, cut in cubes as above; chop one small pepper fine; also one new onion (there should be one tablespoon of each). Toss together with a fork. Substitute for Chamois Bits of old velveteen are a very good substitute for chamois in polishing articles and are more easily washed.

Simple Oil of Wintergreen Cures Eczema and Drives Out Old Foggy Treatment. Eczema, psoriasis, salt rheum and barber's itch can be cured, and cured easily if you strike right at the trouble as you do with a cut or burn. The cause of itching, burning skin diseases according to modern science, is a germ which feeds upon the weaker parts of the skin. To kill these skin macell which produces a irritating sores and ugly red patches, use a simple pre-crysption of oil of wintergreen, glycerine and thymol, commonly known as D. D. D Prescription. This mild liquid was advocated by a prominent skin specialist, Dr. Dennis of Chicago, long before it was adopted generally. Most druggists can supply D. D. D Prescription, and it certainly does relieve the itch the very instant it is applied. YOUTHFUL MIND AT WORK. Deduction Mother Must Have Found Somewhat Hard to Combat. Miss Marjorie, aged five years, is one of those bright children who make the lives of their parents and teachers a burden. Quite recently she paid her first visit to a kindergarten. Upon her return home she grew enthusiastic, begging her mother to allow her to attend the school regularly. "It was so very nice!" she declared sweetly. "And the teacher, Miss Lea, is so very nice, too! She told me it I was a good little girl I would grow up into a pretty lady, but if I was naughty I would grow up an ugly one!" "That is quite true, dear," her mother answered with a smile. Silently Miss Marjorie regarded the fire of pine logs. Presently she burst out: "Then what a naughty, naughty little girl Miss Lee must have been."—The Bohemian. The husband of a beloved deceased wife came to see her bust.

It is only a simple question of trying it for oneself in order to know the joy of returning health as realized by an Ills. young lady. She writes: "I had been a coffee drinker nearly all my life and it affected my stomach —caused insomnia and I was seldom without a headache. I had heard about Postum and how beneficial it was, so concluded to quit coffee and try it. "I was delighted with the change, I can now sleep well and seldom ever have headache. My stomach has gotten strong and I can eat without suffering afterwards. I think my whole system greatly benefited by Postum. "My brother also suffered from stomachach trouble while he drank coffee, but now, since using Postum he feels so much better he would not go back to coffee for anything."

SEEK CONTROL OF SNOWSLIDES WOULD KEEP THE DANGEROUS PLACES CLEAR BY USE OF BOMBS PLAN OF OURAY MINERS PLAN OF OURAY MINERS CHAIN OF BOMBS TO BE FIRED BY ELECTRICITY AFTER HEAVY SNOWFALLS. Ouray, Colo—The recent run of the famous Waterhole snowslide, when four men were killed; the memory of former disastrous slides in this district when numerous lives were lost and great property damage done, and the inconvenience to the mining industry here during the present winter on account of the heavy snow, has set mining men to thinking and a plan has been devised whereby it is thought that serious danger from snowslides in this district in years to come will be eliminated. If the plan is successfully worked out here, it will probably be extended to Silverton, Telluride and other camps where serious loss is caused by slides nearly every winter and spring. It is proposed to use a chain of bombs connected by wires so that they can be fired by electricity following each heavy snowfall, thus making the slides run with frequency, but with less volume. Another plan considered feasible in running the slides is the use of cannon to throw shells into the courses of slides and start them. The plans are being widely discussed here and prominent mining men say they will probably be tried next fall and believe they will be successful. The snows this winter have been heavier than for years and slides are more threatening and frequent than for a number of years, but each year they must be contended with and each winter mine operators are troubled with men leaving the work for fear of their lives. For the last week the Camp Bird mine has been closed, laying off about 200 men, because of fear of slides and it only resumed work this morning. Other mine workings are closed for the same reason and the expense caused from these shutdowns, it is argued, would more than pay the cost of employing the contemplated methods of averting the danger. The danger from slides usually follows a heavy fall of snow and they are started by the least little thing. At present the wires of the Telluride Power Company form a network over most of the hills, and the plan is, before snow comes next fall, for men led by a competent engineer to go into the hills and plant several bombs at the sites of slides, all of which are well known by mining. men. Then when a heavy snow falls and a slide is imminent the bombs will be discharged by electricity at these slides, which will doubtless run, but their volume will be so small that with proper precautions neither property nor life will be destroyed. There will be little danger then of further slides until the next heavy fall of snow, when the same method can be repeated. Congressman Taylor at Home.

Bishop W. H. Hearn, of the A. M. E. Church, with nine eom- panions, sailed from New York on December 5th, bound for West Af- riea, which, by assignment of the General Conference, is to be his field of labor for the next twelve years. From ‘‘A Parting Word’? in the A. M. E. Quarterly Review, we gain the knowledge that he goes with the practical idea of endeavoring to develop and improve native indus- trial conditions in the field assigned to him, and to accomplish this work, he proposes to establish common schools which, besides afford- ing elementary edueation for the young, shall inelude agricultural training and the rudiments of industrial development. All this, of course, is to be in connection with the chureh work, which is primarily the object of his mission. A missionary bishop, in the full sense of the term, is something new under the African sun, and one with a clear and definite purpose in view, so apparently practical and so fitting to the needs of a people wrapped in barbarism, ought to be an object’ of inter- est to all Negroes which Christian enlightenment has brought them into appreciative touch with the progress of the world. Missionary work among a heathen people can never be successful unless it is based upon the idea that umterial development must go hand in hand with re- Higious training, for one is the support and the stay of the other, No amount of doctrine will save an unenlightened people unless it is ac- companied with a practical and present demonstration of the progress- ive fruits of that dictrine; and likewise modern history abundantly proves that no people may be developed materially without devotion to, and acknowledged dependence upon, a religious and moral code exem. plifying the will of Deity. Some branches of the Christian Chureh, and, perhaps, all branches, have failed in the past to accord to this nee- essary combination of aims the importance which it merits, and a great amount of missionary zeal has been wasted in the different and almost hopeless effort to wean the heathen from his idols. The work necessarily must be a slow one, and the younger genera- tions must become the slowly working leaven that shall permeate the depths of heathen darkness. Doubtless many discouragements will at- tend this work of Bishop Heard and the A. M. E. Church in West Africa, but beeause of the promising character of the field, if which Liberia is to become the center, it should command the sympathy, the prayers and the financial aid of all men and women who are pleased to see the Negro apply himself to the work of his own redemption, CALIFORNIA’S RACE PROBLEM. ED from the race problem whieh - ¢ United States, California has a race | present, is absorbing publie attention it sause of its special features, worrying t re than alittle. It is the Japanese quest Distixcuisuep from the race problem which exists generally throughout the United States, California has a race problem of her own, which, at present, is absorbing publie attention in that common- wealth and, beeause of its special features, worrying the wise men at Washington more than a little, It is the Japanese question that is both- ering the people on the western coast, and in a short time it has as sumed an importance which has demanded the attention of the eapi- tals of two nations. | Like all race questions, it is based upon a combination of social, industrial and political causes, all possible of concentration under the term ‘race prejudice.’ ' In earlier years it was the Chinese against whom publie pantera) was hurled, because, to a large extent, they monopolized certain. branches of industry, but a natural lack of individual and collective | aggressiveness on the part of Chinamen kept their troubles from as- suming uncontrollable proportions. Of late years the problem of the Heathen Chinee has been almost totally eclipsed by the greater one arising out of the conflict of Japanese and American interests. The Japanese are an aggressive people, and, in that respect, they give the Caucasian, heretofore the world’s greatest pusher, no time for rest or sleep. In certain lines of industry the Jap introduces original methods which are generally hard to beat, and out of this characteristic springs a line of labor troubles. The social feature of the problem, while having no such important incentive, because of the absence of any really dangerous inclination toward race assimilation, is brought into greatest prominence by the emphatic objection of Californians to the extending or allowance in any shape of public school facilities and privileges to the fast-increasing numbers of Japanese students seeking education under American standards, No attempt is made to regulate this privilege by an equitable money charge; but the Californians ab- solutely object to the presence of the Japanese in their schools on social grounds, Upon this condition the politicians and labor leaders have worked up strong political issues, which western statesmen are not in- clined to oppose, and which are so strenuously insisted upon that the resentment of the Japanese government has been naturally aroused. Bills now pending before the California Legislature absolutely de- nying school privileges to Japanese and Chinese students have given the matter an international phase so serious that President Roosevelt has found it necessary to enter the controversy. In the midst of this agitation, individual assault upon Japanese students, of that vindictive and unjust character to which Negroes in the Southern states are used, are adding to the complications previ- ously brought about, and making the work of diplomatic conciliation far more difficult. The right of the Californians to regulate their schools as they see fit, of course cannot be denied; but neither ean the prejudice involved be gainsaid. The fact that the Japs have a powerful and jealous government behind them, inclined to insist upon the rights of its subjects to uni- yersal and indiscriminating respect and fair treatment the world over, places ‘the California race question in a different aspect than that in which Americans are used to viewing such personal annoyances. a a eee : WHY HELP PAY BIG RENT?

Only the other day T went to-a “musical morn- ing” at the Waldorf, and there were the same old names on the programs that T remember from girl- hood—Bach and Haydn and Brahms and Beethoven. ORB co claasicn gill calivetud Mecamana eAlnAnIa, not do without them: but it is a pity that New York should not know of the great things which are being done by the younz French composers. It will know them soon, I warrant you, for 1 know New York; but it seems incredible that slow England should be a year or two in advance of you in musical matters. It is absolutely new and wonderful, this French music, attempting things never before striven for ly the composers. It has no sustained melody, one can’t remember it, but it makes you see pictures of things in nature. Your ears become eyes, and this music reveals to you in a flase the vision of the sunshine on the leaves in the wood and the still pool in the shadow. It paints in your aind the heave of the great ocean against the sunset and the piled-up clouds of a summer day. Really, you must pardon me if I seem to be talking hysterically, but this new music is most enthralling. We, my husband and T and all our friends, are quite beside ourselves over it. Indeed, some of these young composers are even trying to express in music the fecling of desperation you have when you try to deseribe a scene whose beauty is beyond your words. Now, really, all that does sound absurd, but it isn’t. I'l tell you an experience. I had laughed at the idea of this new music, just as you are probably doing inside yourself this minute. But one day I was writing in my little Jacobean study on one side of the hall and my husband was at the piano in his Tudor den on the other side. He was improvising after the new French idea, and I thought T would try to imagine the scene he was trying to put into musie. Presently T called across the hall: “Tony, shall I describe the picture you have in your mind 2” “Yes,” said he, eagerly. So I told him he was thinking of a hillside with two dark rows of trees upon its face and storm-clonds gathering. And sure enough, that was just the picture he was trying to draw from the keys of the piano. It was almost uncanny. It is odd and strange, this-music, and at first you don’t like it. Some of the pieces have a way of stopping right in the middle of a phrase, as it were; and it isn’t till you hear them a second or maybe a third time that you see the picture. But then it is very beautiful.

It is a serious business, when you come to realize that the American audience, thongh at once the most appreciative, is the most exacting audience for the realism of humor in the world. ‘The jokes must be new. ‘There is no sentimental regard for the jokes of one’s ancestors in America. Then, again, the jokes must not be repeated. Onee is enough for one joke in an evening for Americans. ‘The comedy situations must be plausible, while burlesque is almost a natural element of American hu- hor, it does not belong in the legitimate comedy that is presented in first class theaters, Modern laugh-makers who have the gift of interpreting clever lines can no longer rely upon the grimacing of these past days of pinafore humor. Comedy in America to-day has grown up to be a big, spontancous, daring presence in the theater, bordering upon fun as a pre- text only for a lesson in morals to the masses. The vaudeville stage, emerging with surprising precocity into the dignity of occasionally delicate effect in lines of character, still contributes the largest share of burlesque, and hearty laughs to vast audiences of wom- en tremendously bored with the.subtleties they aspire to but do not un- derstand. Polite comedy, with its teacup appeal to the undramatic, sensitive audiences, who pride themselyes upon mannerly humor, upon the smiles that one fecls rather than sees, has not yet reached its own in America. Wit is a thing that either stabs the heart or stimulates the mental at- tributes of defenseless victims, but humor is a broad slap on the back or a nudge in the ribs, that causes an indescribable sensation of pleasure and amusement. | There is a brutality about the comic germ, if you let it have its own way, that has caused revolution and national unrest in past history, that may repeat itself; but the Ameriean comedy is a joke with no particular | nature, except to stab the tired and overworked men and women of American life with a sharp, quick jab at their sense of pure fun. The comic germ has kepi pace with the rapidity vf progress in American knowledge of world-wide vense of humor. It has banished certain types and an- tiquated jokes forever. The fat German, the idiotic Englishman, the excitable Frenchman, have all modi- fied their stage destinies to meet the facts that they «tablished in the minds of the American people. The laugh-makers themselves haye adapted, much to tbeir own personal pleasure, a legitimate interpre- tation of character close to life presentments, and the authors who grow gray in their service to make audiences laugh are facing the necessity of writing comedies that are natural, rather than strained ex- sggerations of burlesque humor.

Editor Colorado Statesman Editor Colorado Statesman The People's Sunday Alliance is an organization that is supposed to guard the civil and political rights of the Negro. But it is a strange thing that when any measure is proposed along those lines that there is always some one who is interested in the spoils of parties to protest against effective action. The Negro race is the only one in existence that contains members who place personal gain above the best interests of the race. Many things are advocated by zealous members who place personal gain above the best interests of the race. Many things are advocated by zealous members which are positively injurious But that fact does not offer a sufficient excuse for invoking star-chamber proceedings, with gag-law trimming. Every question which properly comes before an organization should be given an intelligent and respectful consideration. JAMES MACKEY. Valentine Party. One of the most delightful affairs of the season was a card party given at the home of Henry Banks and wife, 1329 South Logan, Monday evening, by Messrs James Cartwright and Arthur Carper.

The People's Sunday Alliance fitly and very patriotically, racially and enthusiastically celebrated both Douglas' and Lincoln's birthdays Sunday. Mr. Buford's paper was very practical and suggestive of our duty now to be further emancipated. Rev. Countee, a little man like Apostle, and to be sure as fiery, eloquent pathetic and witty as he. Being brought up in the days of Douglas and having experienced some of the trying time, the Reverend was the very man to honor him. He, in twenty-five minutes, said more, used up more history, portrayed more examples of pity, pathos and rare wit than has ever been done in the Alliance. "Stars and Stripes Forever" and "Uncle Sammy" put the audience in a patriotic mood and aroused a fealty for each other which was lying dormant. The orchestra was given an ovation and Mr. Harris was full of smiles because of the Alliance's appreciation. Sunday was a day long to be remembered by the Alliance. The board of directors will meet at Dr. jones' office February 23 at 7:30 to arrange the program for March. The Alliance meets at 1712 Curtis street at 4 p. m. Everybody is invited.

The general prosperity of Denver is no better exemplified than in the steady growth of the Michaelson Bros.' store. The Michaelson Bros. have persistently followed the policy of best values and have consequently built upon a substantial foundation. Believing in the theory that every successful mercantile establishment must have certain advantages, the Michaelson Bros. have avoided the high-end districts and not so many years ago built upon their own ground a very substantial two-story and basement modern department store, which, with its high ceilings, its ample light, its pure air Macklen acklem's Bread Macklem's Bread At All Grocers --- $5.00 $7.50 $3.75 $2.95 $1.50 $2.50 $1.19 $2.95 $4.95 and its up-to-date stock, attracted the attention of buyers who appreciate values to such an extent that the matter of necessity. This extension will be quite an improvement to the locality when the candy and chocolate are converted on the corner are converted into a modern business establishment, an addition to the Michaelson Bros. store. The Fifteenth street entrance will naturally add much to the store's prestige, and the additional floor space gained, old material and building materials are increasingly increasing patronage with which this popular store is favored.

Supporters of the new counties asked from the present Legislature had an inning Tuesday night before the House committee on counties and county lines. Bryan county was the first under discussion, the presentation of the claims of its well wishers being made by Messrs. Kenworthy and Burton. They declared that the people in the part of Elbert, Adams and Arapahoe counties to be set into the new county wish it because of the long distances from remote sections to the county seats of the present counties. In some instances, it was stated, taxpayers had to go 112 miles to pay their taxes or transact any other business at the county capital. When the Bryan county presentation was over, the committee took up North Park. Frank J. Annis and J. N. Shipp spoke for the proposed division, and Willion Marr and C. Baldwin against it. Each presented figures, one to show that the county would be a prosperous community, and the other that it would have too small a revenue for its purposes. William Mosman also addressed the committee, urging the county. The needs of that part of Huerfano and Castilla counties that are sought to be made into La Veta county were presented by Judge Tiffany. He went into great detail, in an effort to show that the new county would have more than enough revenue for its support. After hearing of this county the committee adjourned without taking any action. House Proceedings Monday. Following are the House proceedings of Monday, the 15th inst., as reported in the Denver Republican: In committee of the whole, during the morning session, the initiative and referendum bill presented by Mr. Skinner was taken up again. When it first appeared in the committee several days before, it had aroused a heated discussion. Yesterday it was placidly received, and supported by nearly all of the majority. Mr. Garman moved to include in its provisions what is known as "the recall," that the people may vote out of office by petition those they have already voted if dissatisfied with any of their acts. Mr. Greenman was sorry to see the amendment proposed, for he could see a contingency in the near future when a Legislature had been in session about thirty days, that the people would rise almost en masse and vote from office all those they had placed in. "Then." he said, "we might have no Legislature at all." Mr. Skinner feared that the injection of the amendment might kill the bill, which was purely for the one purpose. After some discussion the Garman amendment was voted down. Immediately thereafter the House passed the main bill on second reading. Two bills providing for the immediate needs of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home and the State Capitol were also passed on second reading in committee of the whole. When third readings were taken up errors in the engrossment of two bills and a desire to amend the title in two others caused their being held over for a day. A number were found to be all right and were given final action. Among these were one to have the law governing the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home conform to the federal law on such homes; one to facilitate the consolidation of adjoining school districts, one to make Mountain Standard time legal time in the state, and bills to amend the charters of the cities of Central City and Black Hawk. Hurd's eight-hour bill, applying to workmen in mines, smelters, mills and like places, was also passed on third reading. The House voted to give the use of the chamber Wednesday evening to the joint committees of banking of the House and Senate. Two former governors will appear to discuss the bank guarantee law. These are former governor C. S. Thomas, who drafted the bill, and former governor Alva Adams, who favors only the section in relation to guarantees, declaring the balance to be vicious and poor legislation. Boone Would Be No Boon. Before the House committee on counties and county lines Walt Whitman took a hit at the new county of Boone, proposed to be erected out of El Paso and Douglas. He said he lived in the territory affected and he knew of only two people there who favored it—one who hoped to start a saloon and one who expected to drink in that saloon. Cole Briscoe of Douglas county also took occasion to rap a tune or two against Boone county. The question was not up at the time and those favoring the new county will have a hearing. Pinchot Invited to Talk By unanimous vote Tuesday the Senate adopted the concurrent resolution passed by the house inviting Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot and former Senator E. M. Ammons to discuss the forestry question before both branches of the Legislature early next month. The resolution was brought to the Senate by Speaker Lubers of the House, who introduced it in that body, and he remained in the Senate chamber till it was adopted. A similar resolution had once been defeated in the House. Supreme Court Appointees. The State Supreme Court Monday announced the following appointments: Clerk—James R. Killian, Denver. Reporter—E. T. Wells, Denver. Second Deputy Clerk — Archie White, Canon City. Bailliffs—W. T. Heiskell, Fort Morgan; D. M. Wright, Colorado Springs. Mr. Killian, the new clerk, who takes the place of Horace G. Clark, who has held the office for a decade, having been named under the Gabbert regime, is a well known attorney of Denver. Two years ago he was a candidate for district judge. James Perchard, chief deputy clerk of the court, is retained. He has the bar behind him, without respect to politics. Mr. Perchard has been associated with the Supreme Bench and the old Court of Appeals for a score of years. He has been invaluable to practicing lawyers. He has the records back to the earliest day at his finger tips. Mr. White, who takes the place now held by Cornellus Westervelt, was clerk of the District Court under Judge Bailey before the latter was elected to the Supreme Bench. Judge Wells, the new reporter, was at one time a member of the Supreme Court and resigned to resume the practice of law. F. A. Richardson, the librarian, remains for the present. Opposition to New County. At a hearing before the House committee on counties and county lines Monday a hearing was given to permit the people of El Paso and Elbert counties who have been holding numerous meetings within the proposed new county of Holt and at Colorado Springs, to protest against the formation of Holt county. L. W. Cunningham, C. L. Dickinson, R. L. Chambers and O. E. Collins led in the presentation of arguments against the cutting up of El Paso and Elbert in order to form the new county. They protested that the majority of the people in the district affected did not want it and adverted severely upon the position maintained by Representative Gammon, who introduced the bill. Messrs. Jones and Richards, who would live in Holt county, if formed, urged that it be erected, giving glowing accounts of the prosperity that would follow its being formed. Scott Bill Amended. The Senate in committee of the whole Wednesday agreed to a number of amendments to Senator Scott's primary election bill. One amendment reduces the allowance for expenditures by candidates for nomination at the primaries so that no aspirant for a nomination for a federation or state office may spend more than $1,800 and no aspirant for an office affecting a district smaller than the entire state may spend more than $500. Another provides that candidates for the United States senate at the primaries shall go on the regular election ballot and candidates for the Legislature have the choice of pledging themselves to vote either for the choice of their party at the primaries or for the choice of all of the voters at the general election. They are not obliged to make either pledge. Another amendment withdraws the ban placed upon political organizations to prevent their getting behind certain candidates before the primaries. The judiciary committee believed the organizations would do this by indirection regardless of restrictions and it might better be permitted in the open. Employes Bill in Doubt. In committee of the whole of that body, House Bill No. 382, by Garman, to fix the compensation of certain legislative employees and appropriating $2,940 for their payment, was opposed by several senators because it made a permanent increase in the number of employees, and Senator Burger raised the point against it that there was no record of the amendments inserted in the bill by the house. By a vote of fifteen to twelve the committee refused to pass the bill on second reading, but by a vote of sixteen to thirteen it was ordered that the bill retain its place on the calendar. Primary Election Bill. The discussion of the primary election bill in both houses has been long and acrimonious. The principal contention has been in regard to the naming of candidates at the primaries by previous party conventions. The use of the Australian ballot at the primaries is also a much disputed point. Want More Help. H. B. 382, Garman, to increase the number of employees of Senate and House, passed the House on third reading. Agricultural Measures. The House committee on agriculture Monday made some favorable recommendations. Among these are the bill to provide that the president of the Agricultural College shall not be a member of the State Board of Agriculture; for the better protection of bees and the care of bee products and to suppress injurious insects and plants. The bill to place water commissioners on the state list of salaried officers, relieving the counties of the expense, was also recommended. Thurston H. U.

A passerby at Broad and Lombard streets in Philadelphia once heard the following dialogue between a laborer who was digging in a sewer and a stout, beaming lady with a capacious market basket on her arm: "Ah, good marnin' to you, Pat," said she leaning over and looking into the pit. "And what are you doin'?" "Good marnin', Bridget," he replied, looking up. "I'm a-earnin' allmony for yees. And what are you doin'?"

In Despair; Cured by Cuticura. "Words cannot describe the terrible eczema I suffered with. It broke out on my head and kept spreading until it covered my whole body. I was almost a solid mass of sores from head to foot. I looked more like a piece of raw beef than a human being. The pain and agony endured seemed more than I could bear. Blood and pus oozed from the great sore on my scalp, from under my finger nails, and nearly all over my body. My ears were so crusted and swollen I was afraid they would break off. Every hair in my head fell out. I could not sit down, for my clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding flesh, making me cry out from the pain. My family doctor did all he could, but I got worse and worse. My condition was awful. I did not think I could live, and wanted death to come and end my frightful sufferings. "In this condition my mother-in-law begged me to try the Cuticura Remedies. I said I would, but had no hope of recovery. But oh, what blessed relief I experienced after applying Cuticura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and brought me the first real sleep I had had in weeks. It was as grateful as ice to a burning tongue. I would bathe with warm water and Cuticura Soap, then apply the Ointment freely. I also took Cuticura Resolvent for the blood. In a short time the sores stopped running, the flesh began to heal, and I knew I was to get well again. Then the hair on my head began to grow, and in a short time I was completely cured. I wish I could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. Wm. Hunt, 135 Thomas St., Newark, N. J., Sept. 28, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem, Corp., Sole Props., Boston. Too Much Gravity a Bad Sign. There is a false gravity which is a very ill symptom; and it may be said that as rivers which run very slowly have always the most mud at the bottom, so a solid stiffness in the constant course of a man's life is a sign of a thick bed of mud at the bottom of his brain.—Saville. Sore throat leads to Tonsilitis. Quinns and Diphtheria. Hamlins Wizard Oil used as a gargle upon the first symptoms of a sore throat will invariably prevent all three of these dread diseases. Small-minded men regard faith as a theory; large-minded men use it as a practical working power to get things done and done right.—Ruskin. Author of "Eating for a Purpose." "The New Gospel of Health." Etc. Beauty is more than skin deep; it is in the blood—quality of flesh and muscle and bone, and deeper than these, in the thought that builds the body from material, food. "The question of beauty," says Emerson, "takes us out of surfaces, to thinking of the foundations of things." Whatever may be the true standard of beauty, it is not superficial polish. The reality of beauty is its soul, whose outward expression we see in the body. My body is not I, but the expression of me. I am my mind. My body is mine; and as I build my body according to the model in my mind, I can build a different body by changing the model and the material. The Greeks understood this fully. Their heroes were their models of valor, their heroes, of grace; and one word defines their habit in eating, Spartan simplicity. There is no limit to the change you can make in your body, except the limit to the change you can make in your thought, and your change of the building material, food. We change little, because thinking and eating are fundamental race habits, always slow to change. A young man of 20, employed as night foreman in a bakery for several years, went to an Illinois college to study for the Christian ministry. Three years afterward I met him and distinctly observed a marked change in his features as a result of the changed ideals that had been dominating his mind during that period and of a change in his diet. It is well known that the most important period of development is the pre-natal period, that an infant is extremely plastic, but that it becomes more difficult to mold or to remodel it as it grows older. Yet, even after maturity, change takes place as the predominating thoughts, and the food, are varied. Feeding in the pre-natal period is important: food largely makes the difference between the Jap and the Eskimo, between the Arab date eater and the German bread eater, and largely because food influences thought. The food experimenter who has systematically varied his food for considerable periods can bear witness to the fact that not only does he feel different when living on different foods, but his habit of thought changes. A curious relation subsists between food and thought. It is literally true that food influences thought. The difference between the tiger and the horse is, very largely, the difference in their food. Yet you could not make a Jap of an Eskimo by feeding him on rice and beans. The gorilla, a strict vegetarian, is no less fierce when attacked than the tiger that lives on blood. The dog is but a wolf that has learned to think man's thoughts, to a degree, as the nobleman has learned to think God's thoughts. It is said that a man is as old as his arteries, and this is literally true. It is a physiological fact that some are as old at 30 as others at 60, as the condition of the arteries distinctly indicates. The question may naturally be raised here. What is old age? We do not hesitate to say that a certain person is old when we see that his frame is stiff, his skin dry and hard, the roseate hue gone from his cheek, and the sparkle from his eye. Now what causes this condition and how can it be delayed, if not overcome? The hardening of the frame, of all the tissues, including the arteries, is due to the deposit in the tissues of mineral matter taken in the food and drink, absorbed into the blood and gradually deposited, much as earthy matter is deposited in a tea-kettle or slime and earth in city water pipes. This mineral matter, chiefly phosphate and carbonate of lime, destroys the elasticity of the arteries and gradually hardens the tissues, including the brain. Now there are two chief sources from which this earthy matter is introduced into the blood, bread, especially fine white bread, and hard drinking water. The percentage of lime in bread is large, and white bread is especially liable to form concretions of lime in the lower intestine (often inducing appendicitis), which are absorbed into the blood and deposited in the tissues, gradually producing that dry and hardened condition of the skin which is a distinguishing mark of old age. The activity of the brain is determined largely by its blood supply, and when the arteries that supply it are hardened by the deposit of mineral matter it must become sluggish. Loss of memory of recent events is an invariable accompaniment of age: the old live in the past. To live in the future requires the vivid imagination of youth with its plastic brain. Wonder is often expressed that the farmer, who lives largely in the open air, and has fresh fruits, vegetables and milk at his door, does not live as long as the professional man, who is much confined in close rooms and has little exercise, and that the common laborer is shorter lived than the idle-rich, who are, as a rule, much given to dissipation. Aside from the waste of vitality which the laborer, farmer and the athlete (who is usually short lived) are required to make in their daily work, due to extraordinary physical exertion, these eat more bread to supply the waste of carbon due to muscular work (which would be better supplied by fruit sugar and vegetable fat, as already expressed), and drink more water, because they perspire more, thus leaving a greater deposit of ashes in the arteries and other tissues. The merchant or professional man who takes moderate exercise by walking about five miles daily will live longer than the average farmer who has many advantages otherwise. A beautiful complexion is an essential element of beauty. The ideal is that of childhood, the bloom of youth upon the cheek. There is no substitute for the beauty of health. Sallow skin, pimples and blotches of all kinds are produced by failure of liver, kidneys, lungs and skin to eliminate naturally the waste products of digestion, whose retention is favored by constipation. The tissues of the body, including the skin, become hardened as age advances, partly by the weakening of these eliminating organs, often prematurely. The skin and the muscles underlying it become hard and wrinkled by the weakening of the normal metabolism, by which worn-out cells are carried away and new replaced. As the kidneys and liver decline in power (or rather as the vitality that actuates them declines, with advancing years) there is a gradual deposit in the arteries and in the tissues generally of mineral matter from the food and water. These conditions are to be avoided by avoiding constipation, so-called rich foods, such as pie and cake, animal fats, starch and meats, particularly pork, by eating few articles of food at a meal, by eating freely of acet fruits, especially apples, lemons, oranges and grapes and by the daily use of olive oil or peanut oil, and by the free use of water, including the "internal bath" occasionally. Proper exercise daily in the open air will also serve to preserve a ruddy complexion and soft skin. Distilled water will dissolve mineral matter from the tissues, and it should be used by everyone past middle life. The objections to the use of distilled water raised by persons interested in mineral waters are, I think, not well taken. It is unreasonable to suppose that pure water, as we have it in milk and in fruits, could be injurious. One who drinks little water will always improve by drinking large quantities of any mineral water, especially when accompanied by change of surroundings, better food and, more than all, the effect of suggestion that the water will effect a cure. And by this I do not mean that mineral waters may not be in certain cases beneficial, as drugs may, at times, be means of cure. The water in juicy fruits and milk serves the same purpose as distilled water. About two quarts of water should be taken daily, when the weather is moderately warm and proper exercise is taken. Mrs. Lillie Langtry, asked for her "secret" of beauty, said: "The fact that I believe in the power of mind over matter does not blind me to the fact that the foundation of the whole secret of beauty is good health. A sick woman cannot be beautiful. Work, sunshine, exercise, nourishing food, fresh air and cheerfulness are my recipe for beauty." I accept this prescription from an eminent practitioner as complete and correct in every particular. Some useful work is, as Mrs. Langtry says, a necessity to keep the mind and body normally active; sunshine benefits both body and mind; fresh air purifies the blood and gives the skin the only natural pink of health; exercise increases the breathing, accelerates the circulation, and therefore purifies the blood, assists in breaking down tissue that would otherwise clog the system and furnishes the opportunity for the building of new tissue from the food supply; cheerfulness and hope are essential in the right mental influence; they are the states opposed to worry and discontent which make furrows and cloudy visage; and, lastly, "nourishing food" that harmonizes the vital forces and that does not congest the eliminating organs or waste vital force extravagantly—this is the whole art of beauty and youth. The food should be plain, avoiding waste of vitality in digestion and elimination; vivacity is inconsistent with working overtime in digestion. White bread, pie, pickles, cakes, tea, coffee, pork and all stimulants should be avoided. Coarse wheat, rye and corn bread and nuts, olives and figs should form the staple of the diet. Fruit sugar should be substituted for starch, the least objectionable sources of which are rice and baked potatoes. Prunes with olive oil or peanut oil have a very important use in preserving the complexion, by preventing constipation with its attendant autointoxication and billious headache that often leads to nervous breakdown. The breakfast should be light. As has been suggested in a preceding article, buttermilk is most helpful as an antidote to sallow skin and pimples. A glass may be taken on retiring. Body and mind are so intimately related that they must always be treated together, but the mind is the controlling factor. The true secret of youth and beauty is best expressed by Shakespeare, the master painter of beautiful women, speaking of Cleopatra: "Age cannot lessen nor custom stale her infinite variety." H. R. Sute—Sonny, kin you tell me where I kin get a— Kid—Nothin' doin', pop! De barber shops is all closed on Sundays! The Secret of Poverty. Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New York unlocked the secret of general poverty in an address at the American Museum of Natural History in New York early this month, when he said: "What is killing the people of this city may be stated as overwork, underfeeding and overcrowding; and two of these may be included under the one word 'underpaid.' The message of the church and of medicine to-day to the community is not 'Give to the poor,' but 'Don't take so much away from them.'- The Public. MIX FOR LAME BACK To one-half pint good whiskey, add one ounce syrup sarsaparilla, and one ounce Toris compound, which can be procured from any druggist.

Water in Drawing Roam” Clever women have found out that a separate tunic, made of another ma. terial than the gown and draped over it, is an excellent method of altering an old-fashioned frock. There are some skirts that are too short to be lifted up even for two inches on the bodice to give the em. pire effect, and they are too much out of style to wear as they are, If the skirt and bodice are put to- gether by their linings and two or three folds of self-colored material neatly draped around the waistline in order to make it invisible, the founda. ion work is finished. The tunic may be made of net, chiffon cloth, bands of net and em: broidered satin, or all-over lace edged with fur or gold galloons. ‘This is cut with a seam down mid- dle of back and neatly draped three inches above the waistline, headed with fol'ls of the material or a piece of the trimming used elsewhere. This tunic drops from bust to knees and gives the exact line that it needg this winter on smart frocks. Mhetattoncan: Coats of nearly every kind and for any wear are somewhat) longer this year than formerly. ‘There are, of course, some short jackets and some extremely long coats accompanying runabout suits, but the minimum ay. erage length for the popular walking coat is 30 inches. Right pretty are some of the little silk coats in la Watteau, shown among the recent Paris importations. They are often trimmed with hand. some laces or galloons and sometimes with rare embroideries. Silk coats in the tone of the skirt are more used than are cloth ones like the skirt, especially in suits to be worn for anything like dress occa- sions, These coats are usually loose and made in odd styles, in imitation of 25 or more years ago. Colohs: Mua? Be in Glarmony, No sudden or violént color handling of showy colors, in any way whatso- ever, in suit materials, in millinery, or in dress trimmings and plumes, is to be met with this season, says Vogue. Perfect adaptation and harmony reigns, which, of course, bespeaks ex. quisite taste in every direction. A word about these new colors will fur- nish the right idea of a distinct de- parture from the colors of last season. There is far less obtrusiveness in the “prune,” which we knew as the plum shade, for the new tone has more red than blue in its tint, and is far richer In tone. Smoke grays, and two blues —a Beauvais and a royal blue, and first a tapestry shade, the latter that deep tint seen in a sapphire—are very lovely. KEEPING THE PIANO IN ORDER. Music Lover Has Growing Plants in Water in Drawing Room. A matron who is foud of music and owns a handsome grand piano says she keeps it in tune much longer and prevents it from drying out with the ‘intense heat of her city house by ‘growing plants in water in her draw- ing room, She raises Chinese lilles and hya cinths in glass bowls and jars and us- ually has standing on the piano or ‘near it a big rose jar or a large glass pitcher filled with a dozen or more vines of tradescantia growing in wa- ter. This vine is better known as “wan- dering Jew,” and thrives as well in water as in soil. It comes in the plain green and variegated leaves, and is a charming addition to a room ag well as making the air more moist. ‘The vines root readily in water and need comparatively little light, About once a week the plants are carefully removed, the jar washed and filled with pure water. A small lump of charcoal in the water will keep It from getting impure.

Make a Laer sirup with halt as al much water as granulated sugar and a trace of cream of tartar, Boil the sirup until it is at just the point of discolori>g but not until it discol- ors. Then scrape the sugar from the sides of the dish and stand the pan at once in another one of cold water to stop the cooking. Remove it while still hot and dip the leaves inio the sirup, one by one, straightening each one out and placing it on oiled paper, The leaves are a delicious accorpani ment of afternoon tea with thy bon. bons, and give a frosty look to the bonbon dish. Fruits and nuts may be crystallized in the same way. ‘Try adding chopped figs to a nut and apple salad, ‘The flavor ia im- mensely improved. Not much of the ‘fig is used; just enough to give a sus- picion of spicy sweetness. Parmesan cheese sprinkled thickly over stewed tomatoes that are later browned in a baking dish gives them an added zest. Chocolate russe is both more ap- petizing and less sickening if it is flavored with sherry. This should be stirred in carefully or the cream will curdle. Bread pudding takes on new dig- nity when it is flavored with chocolate. Make a chocolate custard and put it in a baking dish with alternate layers of bread. ‘This can be eaten eithe, with or without cream. Mince meat is much better for stand- ing several weeks before using. It should not be kept over summer, how- ever, as it soon spoils. Waffles are much lighter if made with sour cream and the battes kept rather thin, To eat withthem, try chick en gravy or cinnamon and sugar mixed, or lumps of maple sugar melted down aud acrved hate Souffle Balls. The souffle balls that are used with sorrel or any cream soups are made in this wise: Cook together half a cup- ful of milk and a tablespoonful of but- ter. The moment this mixture reach- es the boiling point add a scant one- half cupful of sifted flour and peat until the paste can be pressed with the finger withont its sticking. Take from the fire and cool for about ten minutes. Then add two eggs, beating in one after the other. Dust the mold- ing lightly with flour, lay the paste upon it and roll out until a little thick- er than vermicelli. Cut into balls about the size of marrowfat peas and fry in boiling hot fat. They will swell up into tender hollow souffles and should be allowed to color a delicate brown, To Bake Fish. All housekeeepers know how diffi- cult it is to wash a pan in which fish has been baked, the glutinous skin of the fish adhering to the pan until vig- orous scouring is necessary to remove it. Butter-the pan well, and then spread in it a piece of thick waxed pa- per, preferably the kind used to line cracker boxes. When the fish 1s baked it can be easily lifted from the paper, which in turn slips easily out of the pan Cincinnatt: Gotfes Bread. Pour one cup scalded milk over ono- eighth cup sugar, one-third cup but- ter and one-eighth teaspoon salt. When lukewarm add one yeast cake dissolved in one-fourth cup lukewarm water, two eggs, and enough flour to make a stiff batter. Let rise, beat well, and spread in a buttered pan. Cover with bread crumbs, sugar, but- ter, cinnamon and nuts mixed togeth- er. Let rise again. Bake about 40 minutes, Cider Pudding. Work one and a half tablespoons of butter till creamy; add three ta- blespoons of sugar, one egg; beat all together until light; now pour in half a cup of cider, one-quarter cup of raisins and the sauce of currants mixed with a quarter of a cup of flour; add half teaspoon of cinnamon, pinch of cloves and nutmeg, one cup- ful of flour, one-quarter teaspoon of soda sifted together; pour into wetl greased mold; steam’ one and a half hours. Serve hot with a sauce fla- vored with juice of an orange. emot wiaaing One lemon sliced thin, one cup of sugar, one-half pint boiling water. Moisten three tablespoons of corn- starch with a little milk and stir in. Let it come to a boil, then simmer for five minutes. Slice two oranges and lay in a dish. Scatter on a little sugar.
