LIKE THROWING AWAY MONEt American Cook Wastes Liquids From Which French Cook Would Make Appstiiing Meal. "Only water," says the American and English cook, pouring off the liquid from asparagus and cauliflower and onions and potatoes, and thereby sending down her kitchen sink that of which a French woman would make an appetizing meal. In French and Italian kitchens the soup pot stands always on tag stove, and Into It goes every bit <f water from the following vegetables: Onions, peas, beans, turnips, parsnips, carrots, potatoes, asparagus, arti? chokes, cauliflower and cabbage. The liquid from "greens," such as beet tops, spinach, dandelion and kale can? not be used for soup, but the water from spinach Is eicellent as a sauce for fish. If slightly thickened and flavored with butter. The soup pot, receiving all this con? tribution of savory liquid, does not need the great quantities of meat that make It so expensive an Item In American and English economics. The bone from a port* bouse or sir* loin steak, wall cracked, is sufficient, or, from a leg of lamb that has been cooked rare, or from any roasted or broiled meat. Endless varlatlonn can be made on this foundation of a bone and water. A cupful of dried Lima beans and half a bo-u of cabbage, chopped, to? gether with a bit from the dinner of the day before, like string beans or carrots, will give a very good Milan? ese soup, of which Italians are so fond. A tu*, spoonful of ttxf&ct of Beef diluted with a quart of the es? sence of the pot will produce fine con somme. In August, when peas are getting too old and coarse to be eat? en as a vegetable, strain a quart of them into the pot, after cooking them thoroughly, add the water in wbich they were boiled, thicken very slight? ly, and you will hav* a puree of peas that cannot be improved upon. Clear vegetable soup can be pro? duced by putting a cup of finely chop? ped parsley, onion and celery Into the pot and simmering half an hour. "Croutons," little cubes of tottsted bread, should be dropped it at the last moment. Rich vegetable soup is msde by adding to the pot two or three fresh tomatoes, several onions, a bunch of carrots, two potatoes diced and a few stalks of celery. Any vegetables left from a dinner should be cut into little bits and dropped Into the soup pot. Raw string beans, chopped and cooked an hour in the pot, and a handful of water creis, added half an hour before serving, makes au un? usual soup, which is typically French. TO KEEP PARLOR RUG FLAT By Uss of Cleverly Contrived snap Button Exssperating Hummoc?s Are Eliminated. An ingenious somebody has thought of a way to keep the parlor rug from humping Itself Into exasperating hum? mocks when the bridge table is drag? ged over It. and the bedroom rug from curling meanly at its edge so that you stumble over It and break your eye? glasses against the door jamb. The new device is nothing more ncr less than a cleverly contrived snap-button and catch?much larger, of course, than the tiny affair which tailors use to fasten skirt openings. The bu ton Is tacked to the floor and the catch stitched to the wrong side of the ring ?and there you are. It is the work of only a moment to unfasten the snap catch and loosen the rug for a shaking out of doors. Dry Cleaning for White Articles.

ColumblS State. A BKICK FAMINE. Building Operation-. Overtax Southern Brick Works. From the Dally Item. June 1"?. Sumter is net the only town in the South that has a building boom well under way, and in consequence there is an unprecedented demand for i brick. In Columbia more buildings ere under way than ever before and the brick works there canned supply the demand, ami today the Sumter Brick Works had to turn down an order for a million bricks for deliv- \ ery in Columbia. Within the past month the Sumter FSriek Works has had to decline orders for several mil? lion brick from out of town custo? mers since the demand in town is so great that the plant is overtaxed to keep up with orders for local de? livery. The Sumter Brick Works has hnd to buy brick from other yards to Supply its customers and is still buy? ing wherever brick can be obtained to fdl orders. The trouble It to get the brick anywhere, for the Columbia, Cnmden, Society Hill, Marlboro, Che raw. Augusta and other brick plants are in the same tix as the local con? cern and have more orders than they can take care of. The Savannah News of the 14th had an article on the brick famine in that city, condition there being about the same as in Smith Carolina, The scarcity of bring is due to some extent to the wet winter and spring which curtailed the output, but the chief cause of trouble Is the activity in building in all Sections Of the Southeast.

From the Dally Item, June 15, This morning two gentlemen from Blshopville, Messrs. Realey and Bell had a very unusual and interesting tale to tell of one man running away with another man's wife and their search for a horse and buggy which was USed in the escapade. it seems from what they stated that on last Tuesday night Willie Barfleld. a young white man. formerly of Spring inn. Lee County, wem to Mr. H. B. Newsom's stables at Blshop? ville and asked to hire a horse and buggy, lb- secured the turnout and stated that he would be back later in the evening. From there he went to Mr, Oscar Bluckwell's residence, near McBee, in Chesterfield county, where he joined Mrs. Blackwell, the two leaving for parts unknown. it seems thai Barfleld had been working for Blackwell for some time and his employer bad treated him very kindly. Arangements had evi? dently been made for the elopement previous to Barfleld'* arrival on the scene Tuesday night, for Mrs. Black well left the house secretly and it was found afterwards that she had her suit case already packed to take with her. Tin- two arrived In Bumter early Wedne*ady morning, the horse half dead with fatigue from his hard drive through the country. From here, the two stated tiny were going to Columbia, bul whether they did or not is not Kn<?wn. Thursday Mr. Xewsom received a note, unsigned, telling him that he would Und his horse and buggy at Mr, Boyle'* stables, where the two gentlemen from Blshopville secured them this morning. Previously, they had made attempts to secure Informa? tion concerning the vehicle and horse \\ ithoul results, Mr, Blaekyell is reported to n respected citizen of his community, and it was stated thai In would make no attempt to lr> to Induce his wife t.me back to him. t oiitieil (?

Extension of Line and Oilier Changes Which Will Re Made. The \\<.ik ..t extending and chang? ing the railroad lire>fl in tin- old freight yard extending <?n up U> the passenger yard is. going on rapidly and will probably be completed in the next we?k. With the change* COmpletedt train* KoinK north and SOUth will conn- in and go out on the third track from the station, while those tfoing east and West will come in and go out on the second track from the station. This is a change from the present system, when all trains come in and go mit on the third track. Besides the change* in the tracks there will he other changes instituted in the near future. The coal chute will be moved from its present loca? tion to a pednt nearer the Rowland Buggy Fac tory and stationed on an? other side track. The water tank will also he changed to a position near the coal chute and stand pipes will be placed on both sides of the station at both tracks so that trains can water while the baggage and express is be? ing changed, instead of havine to wait and draw up to the water tank and stop again for water. This will be a great improvement in the service and will mean a saving of something like five minutes in the schedules' o* ire :s. DEATH TO MOSQUITOES. Forty-Six Drip Fans Installed and All Intakes and Ditches Disinfected. Health Officer E. I. Reardon has done something this week. He has during the week installed 46 drip cans in traps and it looks as if there will be no more breeding of mosquitoes in these places for quite a while to come. Besides this, however, he has, in his war on flies and mosquitoes, poured oil and disinfec tants in all of the in? takes and the ditches and hole* which might prove breeding place* for those pests. A further step which will be taken during the next week and one which will be watched with interest as a preventative measure against disease is the distribution ??f insect powder among the Stahles to kill the germs from which the die* and other in? sects breed. Five hundred pounds of this powder has heen secured for this purpose ami. it' the experiment prove* its usefulness, it will he distributed about the city to he used in all stables to kill out the die* which breed in those places. When the public realizes the fact that mosquitoes and dies cause the majority of the diseases in this city they should be willing to cooperate with the health officer and the board of health in their fight against these pests. A careful watching of the home premises to see that there are no breeding place* f??r mosquitoes, and the cleaning of stables every week will do more than the hoard of health can to exterminate the pests.
