NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, i914. " NO MORE POLITICS, DECLARES ULLMAN Colonel Insis's That Ke Has Quit ths Gams Forever. New Haven, April 4.—Col. Isaac M. | Ullman, who was charged in the let- 4 ter of George A. Romans with being the man who did the most talking at the luncheon in New York, where it was said the Croft-Chase purifica- tion league was launched, was at the bond issue hearing last night. He was asked after the meeting if there was anything he cared to say about the letter of Romans published in yesterday's papers, and he replied: Colonel Ullman's Statement. “The statement that I am out of politics is true; T am out of politics. I have no idea of coming into poli- tics again. It is true that 1 took luncheon with three or four gentle- ! men in New York at their invitation and the luncheon was served in the open dining room of the Hotel Bel- mont. The lunch and the talk which followed and preceded it took less than an hour. “At that time I impressed on the gentlemen who were there that I was | entirely out of politics and not inter- ested in any way, shape or manner in it except as any citizen should be interested in what is for the best in- terests of his state. ‘“There have been two other meet- ings held since that luncheon. I have 5not been in the city on eithér date and neither have I been in communi- cation with the meeting or with those who were at it.” That was all that the colonel would #ay, but he asserted several times that his statement that he had re- tired from politics was absolutely true and left the impression that he had no intent of getting back into the game now or at any other time TORREON OCCUPIED BY REBEL TROOPS (Continued from First Page.) night that Villa had left suddenly for San Pedro to také personal charge of rebel troops reported to have parti- cipated in an encounter with the flee- ing federals.

Peace Conference Planned By Brezena San Francisco, April 4—To ar- range for a conference at Washing- ton for the purpose of bringing about a cessation of hostilities in Mexico is the mission of General G. C. Brezena of Vera Cruz, who arrivea here Thursday en route to Washing- ton. “The plan has not yet taken defl- nite shape,” said General Brezena,' “but it is one that will receive the support of the world powers and the approval- of the contending forces in Mexico, who, we are satisfied, will gladly accept any pretext that will in- sure early peace. Non-combatants are behind this movement. “The war is playing terrible havoc, and the better class of Mexican citi- zens believe that nothing will be gained by a victory by either side.” Deaths and Funerals. .

An upright, natural carriage of | the bedy cannot but make you feel the inspiration of life, and a keen, alert mind cannot but inspire you to poise the body properly. But do not exaggerate this position. A tense, strained expression of the body is as unlovely as a strained ex- pression of the face. Avoid slumping. It is the chief cause of protruding ab- domen and large hips. When fatigued to the point where you are inclined to slump, Me down and take a real rest. When you walk, walk from the hips, as meén do, and exercise to keep the muscles elastic. Don't let a day pass without golng through some sort of stretching and bending exercise that will make you feel as it you were walking on air. Learn to walk and move about lightly —to be dexterous. Clumsiness is un- pardonable. Learn to assume natural- ly graceful poses. Here is an exercise that will tend to keep' the flgure in condition, and it is rather an interest- ing one: First.—Stand, chest up and out, hands on hips, and keep this position through all movements. Second.—Raise one foot, pointing the toe in the air (1), touch floor with the toe (2), step forward on that foot (3). Repeat 1-2-3 with the other foot and so,proceed in a straight line across the room. Keep the heels always in line one with the other—this is important —and keep the body perfectly poised, not swaying from side to side. Second Part of Exerci Pirst—Stand in position. e Second.—Bring right foot up under the .body, doubling the knee and stretching foot downward till {f is per- vendicular. Third.—Kick out and poise the foot %ve high. toe pointed. “ourth.—Touch the floor with the tost anv tront of the other and poise the vody forward.

A sort of catchall which {s incon- spicuous as well as ornamental and which may be hung up is made by deeply facing a circle of material of about a yard's diameter with some of the same material. These two edges are next separately bound in order to keep them firm, and the two layers are then partitioned into six pockets la- beled distinctly string, tissue paper, HANDY RECEPTACLE FOR ODDS AND ENDS braids, lead pencils, tacks and mem- orandum pads, leaving the seventh and larger pocket formed by the center of the main circles for heavy wrapping paper. Along the edges of the con- trivance, between each pocket, is at- tached a strand of the binding ma- terial, and these drawn together under a big fancy button form its hangers. The catchall is pretty in printed cre- tonne, figured demim, embroidered crash or any of the substantial fabrics of which utility bags are made. Its braid bindings may be of a silk. wool or linen weave or of tinsel gimp if the bag is in upholstery damask or plush. Strictly a la Mode : Sh Are These Graceful 0es _BLACK SATIN COTHURNS. HE cothura of black satin is one of the prettiest boots of the season. The tango has-named it for its own, and, in the mazes of the popular dance, dainty hose and ankle are shown alluringly through its lacings. The slender line of the recede toe and the Louls heel are in keeping with the demands af fashion, whether it tangoes or not TBE increased cost of prunes has raised that fruit in the estimation of its consumers. That significantly dietetic piece of slang which amounted simply to saying the word in a certain way—Ilike this, O prunes!—will soon no longer be heard, and possibly this fruit will disappear from the tables of the reform achools for boys, to their great loss. There are other reasons besides its aristocratic price level why we should have an increased respect for the prune, always held in esteem by doc- tors who understood dietetics. Prunes and Raisins. “Prunes and raisins,” Dr. Wiley says, “can be recommended to the consumer ‘without an ‘if' or a ‘but’ They have not had to pass through a purgatory or hades. They are inmocent of the odor of burning sulphur. Alas, so much cannot be sald of dried peaches, apples and apricots. Not only are these saturated with sulphur fumes at the time of drying, but also again and more severely so when they fall into the packer’s hands.” A quick way to swell prunes in- stead of soaking them for several hours is to’put them into tepid water and set them on a hot radiator or over a simmering burner turned low. Tepid water may be used in the first washing to start any dirt, which will come off readily after the prunes are moist. Follow the first washing by one with cold water. A little of this poured oft into a glass will show whether further washing is needed. Stewed Prunes. Careful cooking until soft, after the prunes are swollen to about their nat- ural size, will smooth out every wrin- kle, and the fruit can then be used in numerous attractive ways, whole or put through 2 fine strainer. A wooden spoon, which will not break the skin, made newly tender, should be used if any stirring is to be done and in han- dling the fruit if the sirup in which they are finally to be cooked is to be free from little shreds or rags of prunes. For plain stewed prunes the sugar, only a little and to taste, is put in when they are nearly cooked. If mar- malade is to be made of the prun first put them through the fine strain- er, and they must then be cooked with sugar and perhaps some lemon juice, It is best not to add any sugar to the lquid In which they are cooked, measure for measure. Prune Marms|ade. The marmalade must e made If the favorite prune whip is a 1nal aim. and @ or of e > SOOOOOOOS a nice prune marmalade Is good for all the purposes for which we use marma- ladés"and jams. The daintiest prune whip is made of the whites of the eggs beaten stiff, sweelened lightly, well seasoned with prune marmalade and baked in a slow oven for twenty min- utes. If baked with too hot a fire it will be tough, like anything else con- taining so much white of egg. Almost as dainty and a heartier dish is fried prunes, one of the most relishable dishes possible to prepare ‘with this fruft. Fried Prunes. ‘Wash, swell and cook the prunes until perfectly soft. Remove the pits, roll in sugar and fry in two table- spoonfuls of butter. Eat hot or cold with thin slices of bread and butter or with hot biscuits. These fried prunes can be rolled up one by one in oiled paper and make a grateful and wholesome addition to a cold luncheon or are good for a picnic relish. Of course the finer the prume the more exquisite these will be. Prune Jelly. Stew half a pound of prunes in a cupful of water. Remove the pits and chop or put them through a strainer. Dissolve half an ounce of gelatin in the liquid in which they have been cooked and add sugar to taste. Pour into wet mold to set. Serve cold with whipped cream. A little lemon juice may be added to the prune preparation. The liquid in which prunes are cook- ed need never be wasted, whether sweetened or not. It can be thickened, flavored and sweetened if necessary for a pudding sauce. These sauces are especially in keeping if the fruit pud- ding has been made with the prunes. —_—— A FEW FASHION FOIBLES. F'LAT knife plaiting is almost never done by hand now. At specialty shops all depths of knife plaiting to a width of about thirty inches can be pressed into the goods by machinery. This mechanically laid plaiting is used in dresses, as are the accordion plaitings. Though it 1is generally plaited so that the folded edges all turn in one direction, it can be done the other way, so that the plaits turn backward from the center front on each side. Ordinary hemming Is seldom seen now on modish dress models. Picot edges are the accepted fashionable finish for any edge that would once have required a hem. A dress may be sent to the specialty shop in any stage to have this little looped thread put on. not concluded until 10:56 o'clock. HANDMADE HANDKERCHIEF. ¢THE handmade kerchiets that you gave me pleased me more than all my ready made wedding presents, for they were the very thing I had beer wishing for and hadn’t time to make,” said a little bride in acknowledging he: wedding presents. A piece of fine linen hand sewed and edged with a trifie o real valenciennes lace or the more elaborate handmade renaissance, each stitch holding a loving thought, will be treasured by the girl who is marrying and be & loving reminder for a long time. MOUCHOIR HEMS ARE BROADER HANDKERCHIEFS ‘with broad hems are now the fashion of the mo- ment. It has been some time since broad hems were in, but they are a pretty fashion, and especially do we embrolderers welcome them. A hemstitched broad hem somehow shows the hemstitching to better at- vantage than the narrow hems. The new hem is about an inch in width. It can be made either from sheer handkerchief linen or that of a smooth, fine heaviness. As to the weight of a handkerchief, much depends upon the person to whom it {s given. Especially have old lndles a preference in this simple ar- ticle. One old lady will shudder at the thought of using a heavy handkerchief, and another will shoo away & sheer square of linen as being impractical So, as in giving things else, one hay - to study the tastes of the recipient. Aftet the broad hem is hemstitched, | embroidered in one corner of the hand- kerchief (not the hem) is the monogram of the one to whom the handkerchief is to be given. One initial will do, twe will be better, and three, making the complete monogram, will be best of all. One initial looks so much llke & bought handkerchief, while the actual monogram of the person gives a touch of individuality that is unmistakable. There is & pretty fashion, too, of eme broidering these broad hemmed hand- kerchiefs with a rather of flowers in one corner. It starts inside of the square, and sometimes flower or two extend over on the hem
