But in such cases we always state that it is a contribu tion. To Fickle Small Beets—Choose those of uniform size, clean them and put to cook without bruising the skin. They should be tender in 40 minutes. Place in cold water and the skins will rub off easily. Put the beets into large-mouthed jars and cover with scalding vinegar made as sweet as you like it and spiced. The spice mixture should Include cinnamon, cloves and allspice. These should be whole and be tied in a muslin bag and put in the vinegar while it heats. Tlie vinegar should be pure cider, not acetic vinegar, and if very strong, should be weakened a little with boil ing water—very strong vinegar draws the color from the beets. Prudent housekeepers reckon they save at least 40 per cent from the grocer’s budget by preparing their own relishos, like pickles, chili sauce, chow chow and stuffed mangoes. Those who have their own kitchen gardens save more than this, so the incentive to make more and more pickles is great. No one is likely to have too many. If you have cucumber vines in the garden, gather the pickles every morn ing and place them in brine until all are pickled. Then drain and freshen them, first in cold then in soiling wa ter. When they are fresh enough put them into jars or bottles and cover with scalding vinegar that has been sweetened and spiced to suit your taste. The pickles should be assorted ac cording to size, and some may be packed in the jars with whole spices or peppers and without being sweet ened. If you enjoy mixed pickles you will like this recipe: Scald in hot salt water Two or more heads of cauliflower, according to the amount of mixed pickles you intend to make. Also scald nasturtium seeds, I small silver-skinned onions, tender i green beans and tiny pickles or larger pickles cut small. Cut the flowerets from the cauliflower, and cut the beans j in short pieces. Pack this mixture into I wide-mouthed bottles with a few chili j peppers to give color. To each pint of j hot cider vinegar you use add one ta- j , blespoouful of sugar, half a teaspoon | ful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of mus tard. Cover all the pickles and seal j while hot. The spice mixture may be | varied to suit the taste.—Chicago Jour- i nal. Cold Process Catsup. Take <>ne peck of firm, ripe tomatoes. I’eel them cold without scalding. Chop line in a chopping bowl and strain off all the juice. This is very important, for if all the juice is not strained off the chopped tomatoes the catsup will not keep. Add to the tomatoes one teacupful of chopped onions, one teacupful of chopped celery, one teacupful of sugar, one-quarter of a teacupful of salt, one i teacupfui of mustard sets], one tea- * spoonful of ground cloves, one tea- j spoonful of black pepper, one tea- j spoonful of cinnamon, four red pep pers chopped fine. Mix all the ingre- j dients together in a large stone jar, I then take three pints of pure cider vin- ; egar and mix thoroughly, then bottle. This catsup will keep for years if care i is taken to have the tomatoes free from juice and pure cider vinegar is i used. Southern Corn Pudding. Green corn can hardly be improved i by any way of cooking, but let me j make a suggestion about a corn pud- i ding which came from an old colored cook In the South. Cut the raw corn from six ears, first scoring down the middle of each row, add two well-beat en eggs and a half pint of hot milk, in which has been melted a good-sized piece of butter. Beat the whole well, ! ndd two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a little salt. Bake in a deep buttered dish for three-quarters of an hour.— I Good Housekeeping. Savory Custard for Invalids. One egg, chopped parsley to garnisli one-half pint of beef tea, seasoning. Beat up the egg lightly. Warm the beef tea and add it to the egg very gradually, stirring all the time. Sprin kle in seasoning to taste (as a rule, salt and pepper must be added very cau tiously to invalid dishes), and pour in to a well greased cup. Steam very geutly until nicely set, then leave it to get cold. Turn out to serve and gar nish daintily with the chopped parsley. French Beans. String and cut them into long strips. Place them in a pan with plenty of boil ing water and a little salt. Boil till tender (15 to 20 minutes), and when done, drain and shake them in the pan till dry. Add a little pepper and a small piece of dripping. Serve very hot. Any cold French beans left over can be served as a salad, dressed with o:L and vinegar. Meat Pie. Two cupfuls of meat (cut up in small pieces), one-half cupful peas, gravy enough to keep moist, salt, pepper and butter to taste. Crust—One cupful flour, 1% teaspoonfuls baking powder, one-fourth cupful butter, milk enough to make soft, pinch of salt. Leftover pot roast or chickens are especially good for this, but any meat may be used and the peas add a great deal. For Egg Stains. Egg stains on linen or any other cloth should be soaked In cold water_ never in hot, which would make them almost Impossible to remove.

ELEPHANT BUTTE DAM SOON TO BE DEDICATED Elephant Butte dam, which will be formally dedicated October U by President Wilson, is the largest irrigutiou dam built under the direction of the United States reclamation service, and the largest mass of masonry in the worlq. The dam Is destined to reclaim nearly 200,000 acres of fertile land in the valley of the Rio Grande iu New Mexico and Texas and 30,000 acres of laud in old Mexico. TOO POWERFUL FOR RESTRICTED TEPRITORY Indian Head, Md.. may be abandoned by the United, States navy as a proving ground for shells and armament as a result of the ricocheting of a shell In a recent test. The missile was fired from a 15-inch gun and pierced the heaviest amor plate used by the navy. After it passed through this obstruction it plowed through a sand bank, and thence through the house of a gunner who lived several hundred yards away. This photograph shows the hole made by the shell’s entry, and, below, the gunner's little daughter sitting astride the big projectile. THINGS THAT ARE NEW In a new electric fan the blades ■whirl horizontally to avoid causing drafts and the air passes over water and is cooled. A mechanical device, largely com posed of rubber, has been invented to loosen a person’s scalp to stimulate the growth of hair. In Scotland 23.8 per cent of Illum inating gas is made in municipal works to 51.4 per cent in Ireland and 30.0 per cent in England. New apparatus for filling automo bile tires with air automatically cuts ofT the supply when the overinflation danger point is reached. From heretofore waste tomato seeds Italian canners are making an oil with rapid-drying qualities that is useful in varnishes. Russia will reconstruct the water way system connecting Archangel with Petrograd so that vessels of large size can reach the capital. To reach the Inner surfaces of the teeth as well as the outside Is the aim of a double-ended toothbrush Invented by a Memphis dentist. Nigeria has been added to the lands in which valuable deposits of coal have been discovered in recent years. A new stopper for milk bottles has a spout at one side for pouring, a valve within the device closing against the admission of air when a bottle to which it is attached is held upright. A sergeant in the United States ma rine corps is the inventor of a port able topographical map that enables aviators to make quick and accurate reports of their observations made in flight. Only about one-tenth of the vast amounts of iron ore mined in Spain annually are utilized at home because of the scarcity of native coal. As a new seashore amusement de vice an inventor has patented a trol ley car supported by floats that is driven over water by screw propellers. A new steamship line has been started to transport lumber between New Orleans and Cristobal Colon. The present demand for ships has accelerated the shipbuilding industry at Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. Ship car penters and wood workers are in de mand.

Holidays In Danish Islands. The natives of the Danish island^ (West Indies) apparently celebrate! the national holidays of all countries with complete impartiality—the Fourtn of July in honor of the country that wouldn’t adopt them; the fourteenth, of July because it is celebrated in Mar tinique, and It would never do to let; the French negroes get ahead of them * the birthday of the king of Denmarki because the islands belong to him) the birthday of the king of England, because the islands once belonged to! him; the birthday of the German em peror in honor of the Hamburg-Amerfc can line, and the birthdays of all thW royal families, I presume, as well as many local and impromptu holidays of their own. They also are very scruple lous about observing the Sabbath, aq least In its negative aspect. Real Diplomat. Lady of the House—what do you want?
