CONGRESS HEARS OF FRIEDMANN'S CURE Report of Consul Thackera Sent in By President Taft—Serum Not Yet Generally Accepted. % By United Press. B Washington, Jan. 17.—Dr. Fried- man’s famous cure for ‘tuberculosis was the subject of a long report by Consul General Thackera at Berlin, sent to congress today by President Taft. Thackera said that 1,198 persons had been treated, and while the cure yet had not been accepted by the medical profession, the results warrant the -attention of congress. The report was submitted as the re- sult of a resolution by Senator Gore. Consul Thackera says a majority of the cases treated were children and most of them were apparently successful. 1t will be a long time, however, he stated, before the rem- edy becomes available for use throughout the world. Dr. Fried- mann says he is only able to produce the serum in limited quantities it be- ing obtained from cold blooded ani- mals through a tedious and lengthy jprocess. Consul Thackera said the Berlin medical fraternity did not believe the new serum should be acknowl- edged until facilities were offered to various physicians to observe the ef-| fects of the preparation under their own administration and also to deter- mine whether the cures were perman- ent.

American Housewives Might Well Copy the Methods of Thelir Ger man Sistere—Material Keeps Sweet for a Long Time, Fats that are derived from the “cooking of bacon, ham, chicken, beef and other meats should be kept, each In its own receptacle, to be used for different purposes. Home rendering of both suet and leat lard has its advantages, because the product is generally superior to what can be bought for the same price. | Both suet and leaf lard require cooking in order to loosen the fat from the tougher membrane that holds it. For this purpose the material is cut in small pieces and covered with water. and allowed to. cook slowly for some ‘time until no more water rematns and the scrap has turned to a light brown. A Dbetter method for suet is that used by German housewives, who economize on butter by the use of beef fat more than do American house- keepers. The suet is cut in small pileces and covered with water, in which it is allowed to soak for a day, the water being changed once in that time, It is then drained and put into an iron kettle with one-half teacup of skim milk to every pound of the suet. It should be cooked very slowly until the sound of boiling entirely ceases. When it has partly cobked it should be caretully poured off. This fat has no unpleasant taste or odor, and in many recipes may be substituted for part of the butter. Some cooks add & pound of leaf lard to four or five of the suet; this makes a softer fat, as lard has a lower melting point than beef fat. An oldfashioned method of clarify- ing fat from the soup kettle, or from cooked meats, so that it may be used in the kitchen, is to add the cold fat to a liberal quantity of cold water, then heat slowly and let cook for an hour or more. When cold, the cake of fat is removed and the lower por- tion, ' which will contain the small particles of meat, ete., should be scraped away and the white, clean fat saved. If the flavor or color of both are not satisfactory the nroecss maw be repeated several times. method which is eften recommended i3 to' cook a number of slices of raw potato in the boiling fat. When an ice chest is used, fat in small quantities may be easily kept sweet for cooking purposes.. If lard is rendered at home in quantity suf- ficient for a long time, it should be kept covered in tins or earthen Jars, in a cool, dry place as in a cellar or storeroom. ———— Good Cleaner.- It you have much sewing to do at home and need to make over old ma- terials sometimes you should know the virtue of soap bark as a cleanser. Black wool fabrics and those in dark blue come - resplendently through a washing with .soap bark, .and . with careful management quite delicate col- ors can be handled with the same me- dium. Get ten cents' worth of the bark at the druggist’s and steep it 4n a.quart of-water.on the back of the stove for half an hour; strain the wa- ter clear and use it with the washing water, letting the fabric soak -awhile before rubbing. As preparation” for perfect pressing the materials must not be allowed to get too dry. Roll them while still damp in little bundles—the bodice pieces and skirt ones apart from each other—and then roll the bundles up in .a dampened ironing cloth and leave them for an hour or so. Press between cloths and always on the wrong side. Thin silks. and hair ribbons can be freshened in the same manner.—Montreal Herald. Cocoanut Pudding. Put one quart of milk in a saucepan and allow it to boil. Beat the yolks of three eggs with three tablespoon- fuls of sugar till light. Dissolve two heaping tablespoonfuls of cornstarch in a little milk. Mix eggs and corn- starch together; pour boiling milk over the mixture and put back on the fire, stirring all the time till thick. Remove from the fire, add pinch of salt and one teaspoontul of vanilla ex- tract. Cover the bottom of a.greased pudding dish with dessicated cocoanut. Sprinkle a little sugar over, then pour on the custard. Cover the top with meringue, made from the whites of eggs and a little sugar. Brown in the oven. Serve cold. Lamb Stew. Use flank of lamb, onions, carrots, turnips and potatoes, any qmntlty that may be desired. = _ Cut the meat in rather small pieces and put into. hot water. Let it bolil, then turn into colander and pour coldq water over it to wash off the scum. Return to saucepan, with carrots and turnips cut in small pieces, and boll very slowly two or three hours. Add the onions about ome, hour and the potatoes one-half hour before the stew will be ready. Thicken with flour and water after the fat has been re- moved. Leave the onions whole if small.

American Pastime of Much Benefit, Says Dr. Charles Eliot of Harvard: Baseball, the great American pas- time, is of far more benefit to the Chi- Rese: than anything which has been introduced by soclal workers in that country, according to a statement made by Dr. Charles W. Eliot of Har- vard university. Doctor Eliot Bpoke to 100 Harvard students on his recent trip to China and Japan, it being the first. time he has talked to Harvard men since his return. He said that heretofore the Chinese have been en- fJering into games of chance with much enthusiasm, but that they are now ta- king much interest in baseball, which Doctor Kliot believes 'will gradually ‘win them away from gambling and make better men of them. Doctor Eliot spoke hopefully of China's future, ex- plaining that the sxtrnordlnary pa- tience. and endurance of the race will enable the Chinese to surmount all the difficulties which now beset them and Anally win for them the place they de- gerve among the nations of the world. He said in part: “I believe that the greatest good that i8 being done the Chinese by the social workers in that country is the introduction of base- bull. These people are taking a great Interest in our national game, and it will be of great benefit to them when Indulgence in the sport becomes wide- spread. Heretofore they have been entering with enthusiasm into the games of chance, but baseball will gradually win them away from that sort of thing and make better men of hem. The one depressing circum- stance which has an evil effect on their tendency to progress is the lax pelationship between the m®n and women of that country. This I think will improve as the years go by. The greatest scourge of China is tubercu- losis. The disease is far more preva- Dr, Charles W. Elwt‘of Harv:rd- jent there than {n this country; nnd the“Chinese are ignorant of theé means - by which it can be fought. They have » peculiar belief that little demons in- rade their homes at night and work barm. to them, and to prevent these imps from gaining access to' their homes ‘they close at night every door snd window, sleeping thus shut off from the air.

Pour over it cold water enough to cover it well, after washing off the salt. The rule for boiling meats is 26 minutes to a pound, but cormed beef should be where it will simmer, not boil, uninter ruptedly from four to six hours, ac cording to size of the piece; remove from liquor, then place in a tin; put sufficient weight on top to press the parts closely together; set where it will become cold. This gives a firm, solid piece to cut into slices, garnish with sprigs of parsley or celery and serve with fancy pickles or French mustard. A brisket or plate plece is the best, removing bones when dome.
