The program Included the presentation to hl* lordship of a presidential badge, but when the officials went to get it where it had been deposited shortly before the proceedings commenced it could not be found.

Eureka, Cal. —One year spent on a small ranch in the fertile Eel River 1 valley by three young women whe had never had any previous farm ex i perience, but who had instead been engaged in offices in eastern business ■ establishments, has proved to their own satisfaction that the “back to the farm” movement is the right idea. A year ago the three Silverton sisters came from the east and bought a 15-acre ranch a half mile east of ■ Loleta. The place was improved with a house, windmill, tank, barn and other outbuildings. The soil was rich, but very little under cultivation. Having acquired the property, they immediately set to work to establish a home The hay land was rented out on shares and the balance of the property put into strawberries and potatoes, with poultry as a side line. All of the work of picking and marketing the berries was done by the sisters, and a neat sum realized. Three acres of potatoes were planted, which the young women are now harvesting, and they are getting a good crop. By careful management they have made their hens yield them a good return. They boast a fullblooded Jersey cow and are raising three Jersey calves. In the year the sisters have conducted their ranch they have enjoyed good health, have prospered financially, now own a principality in their own right and have gained that freedom of independence of which they were wont to dream while engaged at the irksome office tasks amid an eastern city's grind. MAN TRIES TO FOOL POLICE Burglar Amputates His Finger With out Avail —Other Points Betray Him. New York. —An attempt to beat the finger print system proved unsuccessful when Joseph Sniple was identified at headquarters, though he had had a sixth finger on his left hand amputated to fool the experts. As the prints of the remaining fin gers of the prisoner were the same as those on the record of Sniple, the police examined his hand closely and found a tiny scar where the sixth finger had been. He then admitted that a specialist, had operated on him. Sniple, who has served in Elmira for burglary, was caught with three other men in a basement at 170 East Fourth street, in which the police say they found $2,000 worth of stolen hair goods. The other three have also served sentences for burglary. Family Too Heavy for House. Sabillasville, Mo. —Because his family of seventeen were too heavy for the old farm house, Theodo e C. Wills built a new home. Wills weighs 225 pounds and the rest of the family is as heavy proportionately. There are eight sons, who are carpenters, and seven heavy daughters. A Matrimonial Tangle.

[FOOD OF MUCH VALUE HUMBLE CA”BAGE WORTHY OF GREATER CONSIDERATION. Writer Who Should Know Points Out the Nourishing Qualities of Thia Vegetable to Thoce With Whom It Agrees. The ordinary cabbage contains nearly 2>i per cent of protein mat ter, the chief food principle of meats; about 5 per cent of starches and su gars and digestible fiber; nearly onehalf per cent of vegetable fat and some mineral salts. Over 90 per cent is water. While the nutritive principles contained in cabbage as shown by the above analysis are comparatively small, yet they are considerable, and the vegetable is besides very wholesome for many other reasons, and should on that account form part of all dietaries. It is a matter of common knowl edge that in diet variety plays a very important part, writes J. A. Husik, M. D., in the Chicago News. Feed the members of your family on the same kind of food day after day and no matter how wholesome they will soon tire of it and will not digest it normally. There is either some psychological basis for this or perhaps a physiologl cal one not yet well understood. Cabbages may be used to furnish variety. Another factor that for wholesomeness in a vegetable like cabbage is that it contains quite a large percentage of mineral salts These, together with the large residue left by the cabbage in the intestinal tracts, stimulate the muscular walls of the latter and in this manner aid in {he process of digestion. Cabbage is obtainable at all seasons of the year and is one of the cheapest vegetables we have. The ways of preparing cabbage are many. It may be boiled or baked. It may be also served as a salad in the form of cold slaw. When subjected to cooking the process should be thorough to render the vegetable tender and digestible When served raw it should be well washed and cleansed. Among the many preparations of cabbage a very wholesome one if sauerkraut. In the ripening of sauerkraut large amounts of lactic acid are produced. This process renders the vegetable itself more digestible and the lactic, acid germs present are very beneficial to the system. They counteract the decomposition of food in th< intestines, thus making sauerkraut actually healthful. Taken from all points of view cabbage is quite a nutritious vegetable, wholesome, health ful and cheap. Compote of Pears. Select firm fruit, not too ripe. Wash them and cut in halves lengthwise, and carefully take out the core. Make a sirup in the proportion of two cupfuls of sugar to one of water. When the sirup is boiling put in the piece . of pears and cook until tender. Take them out with a skimmer and arrang° tn pyramid form, the stem end upon a pretty dish. Slice an unpeeled lemon very thin and put in the sirup Let the sirup cook until ft thickens. Put the lemon slices over the fruit and pour the sirup over all by the spoonful when a little cool. Place the compote where it will become per fectly cold before serving. Spiced Raisins. These are very good served with cold tongue or sliced ham. Make a sirup of two pounds of brown sugar a pint of vinegar and a teaspoon of cloves and cinnamon. Tie spices in a bag. When it boils skim carefully and pour over it two pounds of the finest raisins and simmer the whole for an hour, or let them stand until the second day. and then reheat sirup, put in raisins and let them stand where they will keep just below the boiling point, until the raisins are . plump and tender, then seal up in glass jars. Prunes can also be used but must be soaked first. Coffee Cake. Oue cupful of sugar, a half cupful of butter; mix well. Add two well beaten eggs, one-half cupful of raisins seeded and chopped, a halt cupful of ground cinnamon, a teaspoonful of ground mace and one of ground cloves Disolve a quarter teaspoonful of bak ing soda in a half cupful of cold coffee and add. Mix well, and lastly stli in lightly two cupfuls of finely sifted flour. This will be found excellent and will keep a long time. Jelly Fritters. Make a batter of two eggs, a pint of milk and a pint bowl of flour. Beat it light; put a tablespoonful of lard or beef dripping in a frying pan and add a saltspoonful of salt, making it boiling hot. Put in the batter by the large spoonful, not too close. Wher one side is delicate brown turn the other. When done place on a doilycovered dish. Put a dessert spoonful of jelly on each fritter. Yellow Croquettes. Mix two cupfuls of hot riced pota toes with two tablespoonfuls of butter the beaten yolks of three eggs, one half teaspoonful salt and a dash of cayenne. Shape into tiny croquettes, roll in flour, fry In deep fat. Pecan Pralines. Three cups brown sugar, one cur milk, butter size of walnut boiled tc soft ball. Add one cup chopped pecanand beat the mixture until it is stiff then pull into rough bits and put on platters to cook
