NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY | Always Remember the Full Name Mrs. Rarer Tells the Secret of f_axative Bromo Quinine Really Good Frozen Sweets. From the Philadelphia Record. The making and molding of tee cream ovcupied the attention of Mrs. Rorer in her morning demonstration. “To make periect ice cream,” she said, “isis wise to scald half the cream and allow it to get pertectly cold before freezing, Fruit tee cream may have aportion of the sugar _ added to the fruit and a portion added to the hot cream. A good rule {s to seald halt the cream and add to it thesugar. When this is cold add the rematning half of the cream, allowing seven ounces of sug- ar to each quart of cream. “The fruit should be added after the cream {s frozen, and if the ice cream is to stand any length of time the fruits must be thoroughly mash- ed or you will find little frozen bull- ets throughout the cream. Fruit juices freeze at a higher temperature than sweetened cream. In making fruit ice cream allow to each quart of cream eight ounces of sugar and 6 pint of mashed fruit. Scald the sugar and half the cream; when cold add the remaining cream; freeze, and when frozen stir in the fruit; repack and stand aside to ripen. If you are to mold the {ce cream, after the fruit is stirred in {s a very good time for molding. The moulds must be dip- ped in cold water. You must have the salt and ice for repacking ready athand. The seams of the molds— that is, where the lid isplaced on the mold—should be covered with strips of muslin, dipped in parraftin. The moment the muslin touches the cold mold it hardens and so covers the seam that it prevents the salt water from entering the cream.” A Guaranteed Cure For Piles Itching, blind, bleeding, protruding piles.

MISSOURI PACIFIC ATTORNEY Represent Company in Vernon, Bates and La- fayette Counties. Nevada Mail. It has been often sald thatrailwuy companies and other great financial organizations procure the services of the very best lawyers in the land and this hae been demonstrated right here at home, the Missouri Pacific Railway Company having appointed L. L. Scott, of this city, attorney for the company for the counties of Vernon, Bates and La- fayette. Mr. Scott succeeds Judge W. W. Graves, who was recently appointed @ member of the supreme court to fill the vacancy caused by the resig- nation of Judge Marshall. The Missouri Pacific has been ex- ceedingly fortunate in securing the services of such an able lawyer as is Mr. Scott. The appointment came unsolicited by Mr. Scott and as a | surprise to his many friends as none knew that the company had tender- ed the appointment to him. After due consideration, Mr. Scott accept- \ed and from this date will represent the Missouri Pacific in the counties above named. L. L. Scott is one of the ablest lawyers of this state, hav- |ing no superiors as a trial lawyer and very few equals. The firm of Scott & Bowker has been a leader of Nevada bar and all over this section ranks as one of the strongest. Both are able lawyers and excellent citt- zens who have won enviable reputa- tions in their profession. Mr. Scott informs the Mail that the appointment as Missouri Pacific attorney will not conflict with his private practice to which he will con- tinue to give his personal attention.

The sport is also expected to become popu- lar this summer at the lake resorts. In this game a strong swimmer dons a close-fitting head harness, $0 ar- ranged that it does not in any way interfere with his breathing. The top harness {s attached to the end of a heavy tarpon fishing line and the angler takes his station on the land- ing. The swimmer is given a lead of about 60 feet, and the fisherman then starts to bring him in, fish fashion, with the heavy reel. An adept swim- mer can put up a furious battle for a time, but the minute he ceases to strug: gle the fisherman can start him through the water. To win the fisher- man must bring the swimmer up with- in “spearing distance,” or within a certain distance of the wharf or land- ing. The “fish” must hot touch the line with his hands, proven one of the most entertaining of the water sports yet devised, and in every city where there are large in- door swimming tanks “man-fishing” has become a regular pastime. It re- quires a skillful angler to bring a strong swimmer within a given time, and it also means hard work for the swimmer, Probably the first contest of this kind took place in 1889, in the old clubhouse of the N. Y. A. C. At this time Mr. Wells was the “fish,” while 8. G Chesebrovgh, well known as a fisherman, tried to land him, Honors were nearly equal for a time, but finally, the fitherman, impatient to bring the struggle to a cl one mighty effort and—beoke his pole. Charles Kanubloch, the well-known water polo player, as the “fish,” suc- eessfully withstood eff the efforts of FP. 8. Williams, a noted handler of the rod, in the same pool in 1890. Charles M. Oelrichs, brother of Herrmann Oel- Thohs, took part im a contest as the “fish” near Newport some years ago, and he, too, won fsom the fisherman.

According to the best information obtathabie, seven nations will be rep- regented in the in- ternational chal- lenge matches. for the Dwight L Davis internation- al lawn tennis trophy this year. The ist inciudes the American challengers and teams from France, Germany, Belgi- um, Sweden and Australia. These will contest in the preliminary tourna- ment, and the winner of this prelimi- nary series will meet the English holders of the trophy. From develop- ments in this country and abroad, it is evident that the interest in the in- ternational competitions of this year surpasses that of last season. Last year Australia, Belgium, Germany, France and Sweden were represented in the tournament. While they did not carry off the trophy, sti it shows what widespread enthusiasm the game of tennis is awakening. The Davis trophy is now held by the Do- herty brothers of England, but will return again to America if the com- bined efforts of the star players of thia conntry can aecompHsh their desire, This is the first year the cup has not been held by an American team. With all the competitors, the chances of the American teams again regain- ing the cup are brighter than before, Comparatively speaking, luwn teanis is a new sport. ‘The first appearance of the game in any degree of perfec- tion was in 1874.
