OVER THE TEA CUPS

HAMMOND GOES COOKING MAD; FOUR CLUBS ALREADY FORMED.

Xroapecta That There Will lie Still Other Organized liefore Spring la Meaatlma Plea Like Mother Used to Make Suffer by Comparison.

Hammond housewives have the cooking: fever and to prove that this Is no Idle dream there have ., been three new Domestic Science clubs organized since Jan. 1, the sole object of each being the concocting of palatable delicacies and substantial to please the inner man. hike all popular movements thi3 one had Its beginning. On the first of last October Mrs. Andrew Quigley called twelve of her neighbors together and organize! a Domestic Ccience club. The .luzen Homewood women had some ru. .-livings when they began their work, for the Woman's club had undertaken to Introduce domestic science as a feature of several of their meetings and the venture did not prove a success. Nevertheless, the organization was effected and since then there have been three other clubs formed and with a membership of nearly half a hundred the movement is still spreading. The success of the club was due to th fact that university extension methods were applied to the teaching of domestic science which enables the the housewife to have all the advantages of school training without the expenditure of either the time or money that would be required to visit a school In the city. Demonstration Essential. It would be no more practical to turlv rinmpstir? snience out of a text

chemistry without a professor, and as1 the demonstrations were as important as the theory, it was a foregone conclusion that there would have to be a demonstrator of some kind. The one advantage of the home study of domestic science was the fact that every woman has her own laboratory. Mrs. Quigley made several trips to Chicago and found that a demonstrator could be secured for $5, for one half day or at the rate of $50 for a term of ten lessons. The idea occurred to her that one of the Hammond women might attend a school in Chicago and demonstrate her lesson to a group of her neighbors. Mrs. Quigley Take Helm. Mrs. V. F. Bridge was persuaded to act a leader for the first club. The domestic science course at Armour Institute was selected as one that

would be best adapted to the study of

the subject In the home, and so Mrs. Bridge began making regular trips every Monday to Chicago, where she tntered the classes.

All expenses, Including tuition and carfare brought the total cost to the twelve ladles who composed the tirst class to ?18 for ten lessons or $1.50

each for the term. Lessons at fifteen

cents each were within reach of all and what was more Important, it was

found that the idea of a domestic

science extension course was entirely

practicable and that each of the members of the class were able to secure

practically the same good from the lecture as though they had attended

the school themselves. Pioneers In Movement Meet. One day each week the twelve mem

bers of the club assembled in the spotlessly clean kitchen of one of the mem

bers and there the demonstrator would explain the various steps necessary, and

the processes necessary to be gone

through to make escalloped dishes, cream soups, to bake pastry or bread

and the white aproned housewives

-would then proceed to carry the in

etructions they hadVecelved into effect.

The meetings were a success from the very start. Not only were delicious soups, light bread, appetizing salads and pies better than mother used to make, the result; but with something to occupy their minds other than the light society gossip of the day, the meetings came to be delightful social affairs. The rule from the start was that the cooks had to eat the broth, no matter if there were too many of them and the old adage held true, but the instance is not yet on record when the palate was not agreeably surprised by the newly cooked viands with which it came in contact. Reports of the pleasant times that were had at the cooking club spread from . one neighborhood to the other and soon the members began to receive applications from all quarters asking for admission to the new club. On account of the limited number that could be accommodated In an ordinary kitchen all of the applicants

were informed that the only way they could take up the idea was to organize a club of their own. This suggestion was followed out as

before stated, and there are prospects jj of still other clubs being organized.

All of the members of the first club

are delighted with the first term's

work, which was completed at the end

of last year and are looking forward with considerable pleasure to the next

subject that will be studied. Takes on Xfw Interest.

ine members or ciuo number one

are unanimous in the opinion that even

experienced housewives have a great deal to learn in the art of cookery and

they all say that the greatest advant

age comes from the fact of renewed

interest in a task that had grown mo notonous at best. They all believe that there is noth

Ing that has more to do with the health

and happiness of a family than the

manner In which the food Is cooked.

(Special to Lake County Times). Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 15. A.

The bill was preceded by one providing for the drainage of the submerged swamp lands along the shore of Lake Michigan. Thef ate of the two bills is still undecided and at the present time there is no telling what the final outcome .will be, although it is

known that Senator Bowser has his

forces well lined up.

Before the bill was introduced the

attorneys of both Lake and Porter counties were busy advising him for

and against it, the main oposition com ing from Michigan City.

Statistics prepared by a Hammond at

torney tend to show theadvisibility of

giving Hammond the continous session.

The statistics were forwarded to Sena

tor Bowser. They cover the work done in the superior court during the

year 1908 and are as follows:

Civil cases filed 492 Civil cases disposed of 411 Letters of administration 50 Guardianships 23

Decrees of foreclosure t5 Sheriffs sales 53 Criminal cases filed 42

Criminal cases dismissed .......... 10

Convicted felonies. 12 Convicted misdemeanors 8 Although Representative Edward Simon has thus far been able to attend every session of the legislature his friends fear that he may be severely handicapped, as he is again threatened with ear trouble, from which he suffered so much last year, and there Is a possibility that he may undergo an operation before the session of the legislature ends.
