Drain and place in frying pan. Now pare, core and dice apples over the top until there la a good thick layer, sprinkle with salt, pepper and a little sugar, dot generously with hotter—or two-thirds butter, one-third lard may be used —partially cover with boiling water, cover tightly and set on stove to cook. As the water bolls away and the cabbage and apples begin frying down and becoming tender, remove cover and toss frequently with knife to prevent burning. When browned slightly add seven! tablespoons of vinegar and olive oil, remove from stove at once and serve. This Is an old German recipe. v •’ * - Fried Plea.—Make a good pie dough, divide In small sections and roll out, not too thinly. In oblongs, as though for turnovers, about seven by five Inches. Use any preserves, cooked fruits fairly well drained, or fresh fruits that require scant cooking. Place a spoonful or so on one end of the pie flat, sprinkle lightly with shgar, dot with butter, spices also for some fruits, cut a small slit In upper ftap, lap over, roll edges securely and ftp oa both sides to a golden brown in a pan of piping hot lard.

About a Mattress.

A mattress should be turned every day, but unless the turning Is done carefully ft Is liable to work the stuffing out of shape. To prevent this ww handles of ticking or webbing to the sides and you will be able to turn the mattress without straining the ttohlng. When one of the rosettes shows signs of coming .off, It should be Immediately stitched In position, for the staffing will rapidly work out of place, and the mattress will lose its shape. New rosettes may be made out of old kid gloves and sewn on with fine twine with a long upholsterer's By following these hints you will ' greatly prolong the life erf your mat-

ELECTRICITY TO KILL PESTS

Washington Man Demonstrates Value - of Now Method of Exterminating Many Injurious Insects. Spokane, Wash.—Electricity as sn agency to destroy the codling moth and other bug pests is the latest Innovation introduced in modern apple orcharding In the Spokane valley, where W. M. Frost of Opportunity, Wash., and J. C. Lawrence, a grower of Spokane, the other night gave what is declared to have been the first demonstration of its kind In the warld The test was made In a six-year-old orchard, and more than a score of sec-ond-brood moths and many green aphis were killed in a few momonts. The apparatus consists of a storage battery* to charge the incandescent light globes, each of six candle power, which are netted with fine steel wire, coated with copper and tin, alternately.

Black CROW IS A BIG RIVER

Tributary of Yukon Pound to Bo Hundreds of Miles Long—New Outlet to Northern Canada. Ottawa, Ontario.—A big river has been discovered in Canada. It la new in the sense that no one had any conception of Its extent. The Porcupine river Is a tributary of the the Yukon. It has a tributary known as the Black Crow. Until a month or so ago no one believed that the Black Crpm was more than twenty or thirty miles long. It la now known to be hundreds of miles long. The discoverers are the surveyors delineating the international boundary la the far north. The last word received from them was that they had traversed three hundred miles of the Black Crow. Access to the Arctic ocean will be rendered much easier from ti e northern portion of Canadian territory.

the trees, to which the globes are carried at the ends of a covered wire, the moths fly against the netting, complete the electric circuit'and are instantly killed, the bodies falling Into a receptacle placed beneath the globe. Mr. Frost estimates that one battery to an acre of trees will keep the moths under control, thus eliminating the usual spraying and saving many dollars annually for help, equipment and fluid. He la now preparing to wire his orchard of ten acres, containing 700 trees, and several Neighbors who witnessed the initial test are doing likewise. It is reported that several thousand acres of hearing apple trees will be equipped with exterminators by next spring. If commercial electric light wires are extended to the orchard tracts, as they are in many of the valleys in Washington, Idahp, Oregon and Montana, the expense of batteries may he

Old-Time Consumption Cure. London.—The publication of the final report'of the royal commission on tuberculosis recalls the elaborate "cure” for consumption in tike past. There is the French “cine," for instance. which Sterne survived. Sterne was taken ill in Paris and the best medical advice was sought. The verdict was consumption. And the prescription proved worse than the maia<tjr. First of alt a cockerel had to be procuqpd to be flayed al|ve and pounded in a mortar. This executed, the result was boiled together with poppy seeds, and to the broth thus spoiled s crawfish was added. Moreover. It was absolutely necessary that it should be a male crawfish, otherwise the doctor would not guarantee the "cure." And Sterne took his gruel like an fCngWahman and still lived on!
