| aparently most welcome FIELDS WELCOMED AT, BY KEENEY PATRONS 5] % The return of Sol and Nat Fields and their company of entertainers is to local ‘Yaudevellie lovers, if the size of the dudience and the applause given to the popular comedians is, to be taken’ as & criterion. The playhouse has been filled to capacity every day and t{he Fields brothers have been gziven an enthuiastic reception. The pieces presented by this company differ from other vaudeville musical come~ dies that have been seen here, the performers are clever and more orig- inal, and there is such snap and gin- ger 'to the manner in which they go about their work that their appéar- ance always affords a welcome relief from the usual monotonous biils. The Fields are comedians of a type fast’ passing. Nevertheless . they:are real funmakers and while there is a burlesque order to their activitios, they manage to kéep the audience in good spirits. They certainly = are the peers of what gloom-dispellers Keen- ey’s has ‘presented and for harmless and wholesome fun there are few people in vacdeville who ecan be compared with them. “The Hokey Pokey Girls,” Lew Fields celebrated musical farce, is the vehicle they are using this week. There is a laugh a scond in ‘this turn and the audiencé gets the benefit of it.. The singing of the Three Shaws is also deserving of prais¢: This trio does some splendid work and as- sists' materially in making the at- tractions syccessful. The chorus now supporting the principals, is of a high standard. Y »Mabel Cameron and her acrobatic partners offer a European novelty to open the show. The act given by this combination has a flavor that is dit- ferent fromr that of the maljority of tumbling speciaities and the audience likes it. Miss Cameron is a clever comedienne and the young men, as- sociated’ with her are acrobats of ex~ ceptional skill. - Other good featurés of the: pro- gram this week are: Edjaun Hayes, female impersonator; Valeska Con- rad, singing comedienne and Herman and Rice, comedians and acrobats.

Women Only)—28¢ t; 250 to 75a. Friday and Saturday. Listen, you aspirants who yearn for eminence in the motion-pictures; ‘do you realize what it means in hard, cold reality to Phe fight in ‘‘Tde Plunderer” is the most thrilling bare-knuckled ' battle ever filmed. - It is positively terrific in its ferociousness. Farnum, sifigle- handed, fights and bests a score of drink-mad and hate-crazed Western miners. To got the full realiin of the part the actor conditioned himself for eight weeks just as rigorously as it he had been going after the heavy- welght championship. So when .you see that battle upon the screen in #The Plunderer’’—and it is the most heart - quickening; breath - catching fist fight ever filmed—don't’ forget 8s you see the actor smashing and slashing his foes, that, not unnatural- ly it was some job to find actors will- ing to face the ¥Farnum fists, yinal TED MILK YouMay Get a Substitute ey Sub Agye Druggists. Hoime st Raspberries Are Agreeable to Almost Every Taste and Digestion Ideal for Breakfast and Can Be Made Into Tempting and Delicious Desserts for Luncheon and Dinner— 'Easily Prepared in Few Seconds. In a household where they are liked-raspberries are a godsend, They are easily prepared; a thorough wash< ing and careful drying are all that are needed to make them presentable. They aré generally good. Unlike strawbrries, they are seldom sold green, and although they dre espe: cially subjeet to miildew if bought fresh they are almost sure to be. a good condition, They are practically free from acid, and so are agreeable to almost every taste and digestion. As a breakfast food raspbertries are deal. Having so little acid they. rank with sweet peachés and peéars, figs, bananas and sweet oranges in this re- spect; for the fruits with much acid ! shauld not be served gt the same time with cereals or. other starchy food, because acid retards the digestion of _starch. ¥ . For breakfast raspberries can be served, cold and fresh, with cream. Or, they can be daintily served 'in glass dishes with a little syrup poured over them. ' To prépare them in this way . choose plump, perfect' berries and put them in a china or porcelain or glass dish. Make a syrup of equal arts of sugar and water hoiléd for ten minutes. and pour it, hit, over the berries. Put them Immedidtely on the ice and chill all night. _Raspberries can also ‘be prepared in this way for luncheon, dnd c¢an be given a moré piquant flavor is wholesome enough for childrén, Is made thus: Thicken a quart of het milk: with a tablespoonful of fldur Tubbéd smooth in a few tabléspoon- fuls of cold milk. Cook it for tén lor fifteén minutés.. Then add a salt- spoenful of salt, a teaspoonful of va- nilla, a cupful of fine bread crumbs, the beaten yolks of four eggs, half a cupful of granulated sugar and. the stiffly beaten white of one egg. But- ter a baking dish and put the bat- ter in it. Cover it thickly with fresn raspberries and sprinkle them gener- ously with sugar and a.few fresh, stemmed currants, ' Bake it in a moderate oven until it fs firm. Then make a méringye of threé egg whités beaten stiff and sweetened with four tablespoonfuls ' of granulated sugar and brown it in ‘the oven. Serve eithér cold or hot, with' eream. , Another raspberry pudding is made in individual pertions. .Have ready well buttered indivdual pudding or custard cups. Make a dough of two cupfuls of flour, a teaspoonful and a half of baking powdeér, half a tea- spoonful of salt, all wéll sifted to- gether, and enough milk to make it of the consisténcy to drop from a spoon. TFill each of the little cups about a third full of raspberries and /cover thém with dough. Be ecareful to let it reach only to within an inch of the tops of the cups. Steam it, tightly’ covered, over boiling water fof twenty minutes. ‘Serve immediately with hard sauce. For the sauce créam a cupful of granulated sugar with half as much butter. Beat the whites of two eggs stiff and add them to theé buller and sugar . and beat a few moments long- er. Add a tablespoonful of brandy and a little grated nutmeg and ,put on the ice for half an hour before serving. Shortcake Dumplings and Tarts. The best raspberry shortcake is made with biscuit dough. A . good,| recipe calls for theee cupfuls of flour, a tablespoonful of’ sugar, a pinch of | salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted together four times. Add to these dry ingredients half a ecupful of butter and rub it in well. Then slowly add énough milk, mix- ing all the time, to make & soft dough. Bake it in three thin layers until it is crisp and brown in'a quick oven. Sort and wash the berries and then crush them, with enough sugar to sweeten them thoroughly. JFfll them in generously between the layers. Spread“them over the top, or else gerve the cake with a sauce made of crushed berries heated with sugar and a little water for fifteen wiinutes in a Gouble boiler. Raspberry dumplings that are light and delicate are made in this way: Boil arcupful of water with two table. tpoonfuls of butter and add.a cupful of sifted flour. Stir over the fire until the batter leaves the sides of the pan, then take from the fire and é¢ool. Add four beaten eggw, two-thirds of a cup- ful of flour mi%ed with a seant tea- spoonful of baking powder and pat it out in a thin layer.

Freeze and when stiff take out the dasher. Put the berries and sugar in the cavity wWhere the dasher was and set away in ice and salt for an hour and a half. % Frozen raspberries are a lighter dessert, delicious for a very warm day. T'oprepare them wash a quart of rasp- berries. Boil a cupful of sugar and twice ag much water to.a syrup, add the raspberries and cook for fifteen iminutes.

The judge while strictly honest in spirit, has commit- ted the indiscreation of issuing certain correspondence, relative to the pur- chase of securities, which in the strict lettér of the law makes it appear that he has used his judicial postion for his_own personal gain. This corre- spondence falls into the hands of Rider, whose aim is to have the judge impeached, and put in his place a man whose sympathies and interests are identical wth his own. Shirley Rossmore, the judge's daughter, re- turns from a trip-abread. On the voyage she has met Jefferson Rider, son of the great money king, and a sudden love affair develops.

It certainly is a strange boom tq ask of the Prince of Peace, but iz i after all, a more absurd attitude than some of us who criticize, hold. God made man in his own image and man did the same for God, iy an epigram of which I sometimes think when I realize the pathetic little. ness of our conceptions of God. A Strange Warning. I know a girl who had a very ardent and religlous suiter. She firmiy declined his suit, whereat he was miost indignant 'at her and wrote her that, he felt he must warn her. Terrible things, he told her, death, misfortine, disgrace, etc, had come upon people who had epposed his will and brough him unhappiness, He would hate to have anything like that happen to b but he wanted her to knmow that God was apt to punish his enemiese His conception - of God .was evidently that of some Big Person in league with him and willing and eager to punish any slights offered him, But What About His Enemics’' Relatives? Now, unguestionably some of the people who crossed his will have had relatives to whom they were: very dear and ta whom thelr death or misfortune would have been a terrible pu yment. What about them? Perhaps they were as good people: as the ardent suitor; perhaps they were praying-to God for the preservation and happiness of thos whom they loved. What about 14?2 2 As there is some question as to whether the suitor must in this incident was well balanced or not, perhaps that is hardly a fair example. 'fi- ever, here’s what a letter friend wro'e of an acquaintance of hers, p! ! ably perfectly sane, 4 “I remember an old lady who (cld me that God had been so g to her and had given her such a fine Jay for moving. I could not help béing a cat and asking her what was the matter with God the day she had sold most of her furniture; the sale had meant so much to her and it hed poured pitchforks, there were only a half a dozen people at the sale s the things went for nothing.” When Prayers Must Conflict. Incidentally one wonders whether there may mnot have been farme who were praying for rain on that day which was so fine for meving: Every day there must be someong who is praying for rain and some- one who is praying for pleasant weathpr. Now please do not think I mean to be irreverent or to attack your fait in a God who cares about your little jovs and griefs. 1 only want tg re: mind you—and myself-—that we must remember that everything that hap- pens to us affects our fellowmen, too, and to help us broaden our con ception of God into a Power that hus to deal with millions of conflictin wants and wishes and not with ours alone. iy o~ oSSy losing hope of ever being well and strong.
