Bavarian creams of all sorts make delicious and nourishing desserts for invalids. For chocolate Bavarian cream, soak half a box of gelatin in cold water for at least half an hour. In a double boiler heat one pint of milk and two ounces of grated chocolate, add the gelatin and stir until dissolv ed. Next add half a cup of sugar and remove from the stove, turn into a deep bowl and add one teaspoonful of vanilla; set this bowl into a pan of ice water and stir until it thickens like a sauce; then add a pint of cream .whipped stiff. Stir lightly, pour into a mold, wet with cold water, set it on ice and serve with whipped cream. This must be made very early in the morning if it is to be used for lunch or tea. If a fruit cream is desired sub stitute fruit juice, stewed and strained, for the milk, omitting the grated choc olate. Both raspberry and peach Ba varlan cream are delicious. Cheese and Mustard Sandwiches. Cream some butter, adding to every tablespoonful two tablespoonfuls grated cheese seasoned lightly with paprika and made mustard. Mix thor oughly and spread. Grated American or Swiss cheese mixed to a paste with salad dressing makes an excellent fill ing, as also cottage cheese mixed with parsley or cress and seasoned with paprika. Other good combinations with cottage or cream cheese are cream cheese and olives, green or black, chopped fine; cream cheese and chopped nuts, with or without mayonnaise; cheese and chopped dates or figs; cheese and chopped spinach moistened with lem on juice and mayonnaise; cheese with the yolks of hard-boiled eggs put through a ricer; cheese and sliced cucumber; cheese and preserved gin ger, chopped; cheese, currant jelly and nuts. Veal Scallop. Chop into bits cold roast veal and the dressing with which it has been stuffed. Put a layer of this mince in a baking dish and moisten with veal gravy, then put in a layer of chopped canned mushrooms and sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper, add more chopped meat and proceed in this way until the dish is full, sprinkling the top with crumbs and bits of butter and wetting each layer of the meat with gravy. Cover the dish and bake until the contents bubble, then uncover and brown lightly before sending to the table. ' Use for Celery Leaves. After cleaning the celery do not throw away the leaves. Wash them carefully, spread them out thinly and set them on the back of the stove to dry. After they are thoroughly dried, rub them to a powder, and put them away in tottles. They will prove a delicious flavor to many different kinds of dishes, j . 4 , ' Try 'a pinch in a chicken stew, or with the scalloped tomatoes. A Savory Green Corn Chowder. This is a savory mixture of green corn, green peppers and tomatoes. To a half dozen ears of corn allow five .tomatoes, five green peppers and five small onions, all minced. Cook the onions a golden brown in a little ba con fat, then add the other vegetables, having the corn cut from the cob as nearly whole as possible. Cover with boiling water and simmer for an hour. Season with salt and pepper and serve. . Salad Dressing. Take a coffee cup; put into it one egg; a pinch of salt; two tablespoon fuls of sugar; one of flour; mix well, and fill up the cup with vinegar. Take a small, granite pan; put it on the fire with a piece of butter the size of a walnut. When warm, put in the contents of the cup; stir until thick and smooth. Put back in the cup, and when cool thin with sour cream. Will keep a month or more. . To Steam Brown Bread. A loaf of steamed brown bread or a pudding generally has a soggy, wet place on the top, caused by the steam condensing on the inside of the cover and dropping down on the loal. To prevent this, fold a clean dfsh towel two or three times, and put it on your steamer before your put on the cover. The towel will absorb the steam and your loaf will be perfect. Vanilla Sauce. Take one pint and a half of mi'k, stir in three beaten eggs, and pass through a strainer in a double boiler. Add three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Put on the fire and when the water in the lower pan begins to boil, stir and keep stirring until the mixture has reached the consistency of a thick cream. Remove from the fire, add a tablespoonful of vanilla, and serve warm or cold. An Herb Bouquet. In cooking recipes one very often comes across the term a "bouquet of Jierbs." This means that a few sprigs of parsley, a piece of thyme, a clove of garlic, a bay leaf, and a few pepper corns all tied together, ready to be dropped into whatever they are to flavor and are (in this way) easily re moved. How to Bake Peaches. Peaches may be baked like apples with excellent results. Peel the fruit, put into a baking dish with sugar, bits of butter and a cupful of water. Bake until the peaches arc tender. A few chopped nuts sprinkled over the top of the fruit is an improvement. They should be served cold.. Cincinnati. The Jacob Freund Roof ing company sued the Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers' International Alliance and Local Union 141 of the same organization, together with their officers, for $10,000 damages. The suit ib the outgrowth of trouble between Jacob Freund and Edward Barry, busi ness agent and general organizer of the Metal Workers' Union. It is also a retaliation for a suit for the same amount filed recently by Barry against Freund, charging that Freund assault ed him at the New Avondale. school during i an altercation over the calling of a strike of Freund's employes. Freund, through his attorneys, com plains that because he would not agree to certain exactions of the union a strike of his employes was called, his place was picketed and he was prevented from filling the strikers' places. As the result of his diminish ed forces, he says, he has been pre vented from properly prosecuting his business and earning his customary profits. Paris, France. A nice point of law in regard to the relations of employer and employe has been raised by the decision of some 200 journeymen bak ers of Paris, who recently went on strike, and whom their former em ployers declined to take back, now that the strike is ended, i to sue for damages, on the ground of brusque dismissal. The men's contention is that the cessation of work because of a strike is not rupture, but a legiti mate suspension of the contract en tered into between employer and em ployed. Los Angeles, Cal. A settlement of the boilermakers' strike on the Pacific division of the Harriman roads, which threatened to extend to all roads in which Harriman is interested, has been made.

The strike of iron founders continues with no signs of a settlement. The men on strike get 15 shillings a week, the unions' af fected being well off for funds.

The Western Union, reported that its office at Goldfleld, Nev., was closed and would remain closed at night time hereafter until proper protection could be afforded its operators. The service to Goldfleld was suddenly broken and it was re ported that a delegation of miners had called upon Operator Shiveley and ordered him to leave town imme diately.

Cleveland, O. With the view or further strengthening the Internation al Molders' union, the organization has adopted considerable constructive leg islation, and has made some radical changes in its constitution. : Chief among these is the increase in the fees from 26 to 48 cents per week. By this means an : addition to the strike fund, which will amount to over 200 per cent,, will be made.
