The Daily Republican Brery Day Except tftmday HEALEY & CLARK, Publisher*. ’ INDIANA.

Zero days are short, but who cares. New York Is trying to be bigger and foggier than London. The nearest thing to a durbar that We have is a circus parade. It is the chauffeur, not the auto, that Heeds horse sense nowadays. One of the most fragile things in the world is a New Year resolution. It is Just one blamed pest after another. At present it is the mongoose. Prunes are prunes when they are put in fancy pound boxes and sold at 60 cents. Winter, having thrown off its dlsguise, may as well do its worst and get it over. 2__. Now is a good time to lay in a supply of mosquito bite remedies. They ought to be cheap. He is a prudent man who is careful not to burn down the house in his efforts to keep warm. A peace conference is in session in Shanghai Thus far the hospital list has not been published. One notion of the easiest way to snake money is to accept $250,000 for quitting the aviation game. A hotel of 1,000 rooms is to be built In Regent street, London, and tipping is to be forbidden in it A trunk that is mote thafi4s inehw long is a trunk that leads to excess baggage charges. Shorten it up. Paper bag cookery and tireless cookers should be locked in a room together. They are both delusions. King George may have killed more tigers than Colonel Roosevelt, but he did not have any Kermit on the Job. A woman’s society In Connecticut Ims elected a man as president Thus the changes in life have their compensations. Tom Edison tells us that when he veads he doesn’t like to think. All he has to do Is to read one of the six best sellers. w The old-fashioned characteristics of woman seem to be changing. One of them has been sent to Jail for refusing to talk. A shipload of potatoes has arrived In New York from Scotland. Possibly the shortage in New York is due to the number of spuds thrown at the Irish players. Thirty hunters lost their Ilves In New England from various causes during the season. Judging by this report, amateur hunting is anything but a healthy sport The champion mean thieves have won the record in a Pennsylvania town, where they tried to steal the blankets from a fresh-air school for tuberculosis children. Mlle. PlaskoweltzkaJakahle. a Russian dancer, is preparing to tour America- We present that name to the printers and proof readers with the compliments of the season.

That Connecticut farmer who gives morphine to bls hens to make them •it will doubtless distribute suffragette literature among them when he wishes to reverse the procedure. Possibly we are mistaken, but it •trikes us that the weather man and the coal man are too friendly for the public good Mr. Edison needn’t turn bis attention to the making of concrete biscuit Some of the cooks beat him to that long ago. The most terrible catastrophe we can think of just now is a collision between a freight train and a wagon load of fresh eggs. Cold waves are like other experiences to which distance lends enchantment and absence from which makes the heart grow fonder. Opposition to the fact that some gran<-opera stars have gained a bit of advertising through their gifts to the poor does not include the beneficiaries. ■ . ■, i.

COOKING DRIED STUFF

FIRELESS METHOD BEST FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. Home-Made Cooker 1* Easily Constructed and Answers All Practical Purposes—lmportant Points to Be Remembered. JThe fireless method is the best way to cook dried fruit and Vegetables. You need not buy a fireless cooker for the purpose unless you wish to. Make one yourself. Simply get a small dry goods or soap box or large pail. Line with asbestos paper and then stuff tightly all around the top, bottom and sides with layers of newspapers to the depth of three or four inches. What you must remember is that it must be absolutely air-tight. Another thing to remember is that your receptacle must be nearly full. If you cook a small quantity you must have a small receptacle, as the fruit is not as likely to cool off before thoroughly done, as it would if placed in a half filled pail. Wash your fruit thoroughly first, and to one pound of same add half pound of sugar; put water enough in to cover by about one inch. Boil seven minutes over a flame and then as quickly as possible place in your fireless cooker and allow to remain in there about eight hours. Place a cushion on top of the cooker and weight that down with something that is heavy. When taken out one will find the fruit will rival the best preserves in appearance .and flavor, in no respect suggesting that usually served or the insipid canned products. Each shriveled piece will swell to its original size, unbroken, distended with a juicy aromatic liquor, and charged with the flavors which characterize the fruit in Its prime state. Tapioca and eage are delicious with these fruit Juices in making tempting desserts. Dried vegetables, such as lima beans, peas, etc., should be treated in the same way and given about the same length of time to cook. Canned vegetables which have been bought in the stores are also much improved by this additional process. These fireless cookers are also excellent for doing home canning of vegetables and fruits. By canning them in this way the house is kept cool, fuel is saved and the housewife is free from the fear of water boiling away. Clean and prepare the same as for any canning process. Dip the jars In boHlng water, fill with vegetables or fruit, pour in cold water until it overflows the jar, dip the caps In boiling water, place them on the jars, but do not seal tightly; allow for expansion. Put a perforated rest in the bottom of your kettle, place the prepared jars on the rest, fill the kettle with cold water up to 4he necks of the jars. Place the cover on the kettle, put on the stove and boll 15 minutes. At the end of that time place at once into the cooker and cover tightly. Allow the jars to remain in the cooker from two to three hours, then remove and tighten the caps.

Beef Tea With Noodles.

Three pounds of lean beef, two onions, two turnips, two carrots, two cloves, two and half quarts water, a good handful of noodles. Mince the vegetables. Put on in the water and boil down to two quarts. Drain off and pour upon the beef, minced very fine. Simmer one hour, strain, season and put in the noodles. Cook gentlyjtOminutes. ----- -■ - Noodles —Work In two eggs, a sufficient amount of flour to make a stiff dough, salt to season, then roll out into sheets as thin as possible; let dry before cutting. Then roll up as you would jelly cake and cut very fine. Noodles added ten minutes before serving the soup.

Minced Meat on Toast.

On our platter there was quite a little meat, potato and carrot, onion and gravy; in removing, it from the platter put the meat separate. The next morning when it is cold put it through the meat chopper; also the Vegetables, taking just what you think you will need for breakfast. Mix it with a little of the gravy, heat through and serve on toast. To the rest, if only a cupful in all, add two tabledried breadcrumbs, mix well, put into a small deep pan, and bake while you are getting your dinner.

Spider Corn Cake.

Take three-quarters cup cornmeal and flour enough to fill the cup, one tablespoon of sugar, half teaspoon salt, half teaspoon soda. Mix flour, meal, sugar, salt and soda together. Beat one egg and add half cup sweet milk and half cup sour milk and stir into the dry mixture. Melt one tablespoon butter in a hot spider and pour In -the mixture, pour over the top half cup sweet milk, but do not stir it in. Bake in a hot oven 20 minutes and serve at once.

Good Supper Dish.

Cut remnants of roast beef in small pieces, place in a baking dish in alternate layers with cold boiled cabbage and moisten with a tomato sauce well seasoned. Sprinkle some buttered bread or cracker crumbs over the |op and bake for 30 minutes in a moderate oven.

Potato Cakes.

Take cold mashed potatoes, moisten with a little milk and make into cakes. Fry in butter until a delicate brown.

CRACKED HANDS ARE HEALED

Woman Suffered for Year*. Resinol Worked Immediately. During the winter many people suffer untold agony from chapped and cracked hands. The manner of washing and drying the hands, the water, exposure, blood and innumerable other things may canse this. To persons suffering in this way, or from any skin eruption, this woman’s experience should prove Invaluable. “I highly prize Resinol Soap and Ointment For years I had suffered with my hands cracking. Had used all kinds of salve, but to no avail, until one day a sample box of Resinol Ointment was sent to our home. Almost discouraged, I had suffered so long with my hands, I opened the package and began reading some of the testimonials. Finally I tried it, and the effect was wonderfuL It seemed to take the soreness away, and Immediately began to heal, and In a few days (using it every night) my hands were entirely healed. I feel that I cannot get along without Resinol Ointment, and recommend it with pleasure, whenever an’-opportu-nlty presents Itself. “MRS. MATTIE R. SHORT, “Somerville, Mass.” Resinol Ointment Is the most wonderful skin remedy today. For sores, pimples, every form of eruptive skin disease, irritation and Inflammation, eczema, tetter, milk crust, scald head, ringworm, barber's itch, pimples, blackheads, chilblains, cracked lips, chaps, burns and scalds ft is an effectual and reliable remedy. It soothes, relieves the pain and heals. Resinol Soap Is also very healing and a perfect toilet soap. Your druggist will recommend Resinol Ointment and sell it to you in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes, or you can make a free trial of It by writing for sample to Department 89, Resinol Chemical Co., Baltimore, Md. ————

A DRAW.

Old Grouch —So you had a fight with Clarence. He claims he licked you. Cholly—Oh! the boastah! It’s twue he wumpled my cwavat dweadfully, but when it was all ovah his collah was fwightfully wilted.

Ready for Anything.

A popular neighbor had just passed to the great beyond in a rural Pennsylvania community and the undertaker stood at the door of the home, when he heard the following remarks by the minister: “Mine bredren und sisters, Joo Thomas ho iss dead. Maybe Joe Thomas he go to heaven up I no know, und maybe Joe Thomas he go to hell down I no know, but mine bredren und sisters, we must be brebared to meet him.”

THE CARELESS GROCER

BiynderetL and Great Good Cam* ▲ careless grocer left the wrong package at a Michigan home one day and thereby brought a great blessing to the household. "Two years ago I was a sufferer from stomach troubles, so acute that the effort to digest ordinary food gave me great pain, and brought on a condition of such extreme nervousness that I could not be left alone. I thought I should certainly become insane. I was so reduced in flesh that I was little better than a living skeleton. The doctors failed to give me relief and. I despaired of recovery. "One day our groceryman left a package of Grape-Nuts food by mistake, so I tried some for dinner. I was surprised to find that it satisfied my appetite and gave me no distress whatever. The next meal ! ate of it again, and to be brief, I have lived for the pas.t year almost exclusively on GrapeNuts. It has proved to be a most healthful and appetizing food, perfectly adapted to the requirements of my system. “Grape-Nuts is not only easily digested and assimilated, bbt I find that since I have been using it I am able to eat anything else my appetite fancies, without trouble from indigestion. The stomach trouble and nervousness have left me, I have regained my plumpness and my views of life are no longer despondent and gloomy. "Other members of my family, especially my husband, (whose old enemy, the ‘heart-burn,* has been vanquished) have also derived great benefit from the use of Grape-Nuts food and ’We tl .k no morning meal complete without it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mteh. - "There’s a reason,” and it is explained in the little book, “The Road to Wellvilli,” in pkgs. Ever, read the above letter!

TO COOK STUFFED PIGEONS

Most Important Item Is the Stuffing, Follow These Directions and Success I* Certain. »>- Take two -pigeons, cleaned and singed, and prepare the following stuffing: A soupspoon of batter, three soupspoonfuls of lean bacon; the livers of the pigeons, chopped up; three tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs, white and fresh; half a soupspoonful of chopped onion, a coffeespoonful of chopped parsley, salt, pepper, spice and two yolks of eggs. Melt the butter In a saucepan, add the onion, let it cook, gently six to eight minutes and then add the bacon. As soon as this is slightly heated, add the pigeon’s livers and, if possible, two or three chickens’ livers, the bread crumbs, the chopped parsley, salt, pepper and yolks of eggs. Stuff the pigeons, tie them up with the feet turned in, and cook them in a saucepan 30 to 35 minutes at a gentle fire. At the moment of serving, untie the pigeons, put them back in the saucepan, with several soupspoonfuls of good gravy or simply hot water. Give them several seconds’ boiling so that the gravy and the cooking butter may be well mixed.

BEST OF ALL FRUIT CAKE

Recipe That Has Been Tried and Proven and Will Assure Success If Followed. ' One pound flour, browned and sifted; one pound butter, one pound sugar, 12 eggs, four pounds raisins, one pound citron, one pound crystallized cherries and pineapple mixed, one pound almonds cut fine and soaked over night in rosewater, one pound pecan meats cut small, one glass grape jelly, half glass good cordial, one glass best whisky or brandy, tablespoon each po w der e d all b pice, clnn am on and nutmeg and teaspoon powdered cloves. Soak all the fruit 12 hours in the whisky, cream together butter and sugar, add to them egg yolks beaten very light, then the cordial, spices and jelly. Put in next two teaspoons melted chocolate, next add the whites of eggs beaten stiff and part of flour. Roll the fruit in the rest of the flour and add to the mixture. Put in nuts last of all. Bake several hours, keeping a vessel of water in the oven until almost done.

Pecan Salad.

A tasty variation of the pecan salad, where the nuts are molded in lemon jelly, is the following with walnuts: Four are sliced and covered, not more, with water. Add a slice of onion minced fine, salt, cayenne and a little lemon juice. Sim- ' mer all for five minutes, add a small tablespoonful of gelatin and cool. When it has cooled add a cup of English walnuts and put all on the ice to harden. To serve the salad have ready a bed of white lettuce leaves, break the jellied nuts in small pieces and place a portion on each little nest of hearts. Add a stiff mayonnaise and it is ready to serve. This salad requires rather careful adjustment on the dish, as it must not look “scrambled.”

Ironing Hint.

All hand embroidery should be ironed wrong side out over folded thick material. The nicest thing for the purpose is a piece of white homespun flannel;, those who possess it are fortunate indeed. White outing flannel folded so it is of several thicknesses makes a good substitute for the modern housekeeper. It is also well to lay a piece of old mufclin over the wrong side of the article, as the irons, which never should be very hot, sometimes soil or scratch the work, which must be pressed slowly.

Apple Sauce Baked In Casserole.

I had a casserole for a wedding present, and* could not do without it, I am sure. Often I bake beans in It, but more often apple sauce (for meats) which we like better than cooking on top of the stove. Cut the apples in quarters, then put hi a buttered casserole and cook until you can pierce them. Then take out and sprinkle as much sugar over them as you like, which will melt and run through the hot apples.—Boston Globe.

Lemon Jelly Cake.

Two cups of sugar, one-half cup butter, one cup sweet milk, three cups flour, three eggs, three tablespoonsful baking powder. Jelly part: One lemon, grated, one cup white sugar, one egg, one tablespoonful butter, beat together and boil three minutes.

How to Prepare Lime Water.

Get a piece of stone lime or unslaked lime, about as large as an English walnut, put Into two quarts of cold water, stir until dissolved, then let it settle and pour off the clear water Into bottles to keep. Will keep until used up.

Cider Sauce.

Mix two tablespoons of butter with an even tablespoon of flour; stir in one-half pint of brown sugar and one-half-gill of boiled cider; add a gill of boiling water. Mix well, let it simmer a'few minutes. Serve hot

Mince Pie With Edam Cheese.

. Grate Edam cheese very thickly all over top, of a cold baked mince pie. Put pie in oven until cheese is quite soft and the pie well heated. This gives mince pie the flavor liked and always wanted afterward.

JUST A LITTLE TOO HASTY

Mr. Newlywed Resented What He Considered impertinence, but the .. Joke Was on Him. They were on their wedding tour, and Imagined that every civility given them related to their new condition of servitude. Having stopped at a way station, the bridegroom was - approached by the station agent, who asked: “Are you going to take the next train?” “It’s none of youfr business,” retorted the bridegroom, Indignantly, as he guided the bride up the platform, where they condoled with each other over the impertinence of some of the natives. Onward came the train, its vapor curling from afar. It was the last to their destination that day—an express. Nearer and nearer it came at full speed; -then in a moment it whizzed past and was gone. “Why in thunder didn’t that train stop!” yelled the bridegroom. “Cos you said ’twarn’t none of my bizness. I has to signal if that train’s to stop.”

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

“My troubles began along in the summer in the. hottest weather and took the form of small eruptions and itching and a kind of smarting pain. It took me mostly all over my back and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with a mass of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that I could hardly stand IL This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was a solid mass of big sores which would break open and run, My underclothing would be a clot of blood. “I tried various remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was noL getting any benefit. It seemed I was in eternal misery and could not sleep on my back or lean on a chair. I was finally given a 'set of the Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks I could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months’ time my back was nearly cured and I felt like a new being. Now lam in good health and no sign of any skin diseases and I am fully satisfied that Cuticura Remedies are the best ever made for skin diseases. I would not be without them.” (Signed) W. A. Armstrong, Corbin, Kan., May 26, 1911. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to “Cuticura,” Dept. L, Boston.
