GLEAN YOUR TRASH Fire Department Enforces Mew Rule. Clean Up And leep Clean the House and the Surroundint Yard. The Portland Firs Department baa establislird a new rule, according Io Capt. Canuto of the Kern Park statiun. Thia rule is to arrest tbe fellow who has a fire. If he can't excuse himself properly he will be fined, ssut U> jail or tama)*ed to Hwan Island, or some other drarrt place. Tt*e tire ilepartment awm» to think that being burned out la not enough to make a man miserable and so they have devised this new method of tormenting him But really there is something to it. Tls-rr are a lot of tie too careless. Tbe notiou of having to ex plain conditions «■siatmg liefore the fire might stimulate «orne of us to have leas to explain. It might cause some people to eJeau up their mirrvnndingM, put their buildings into safer i'onditi'ih» and aware tlieiu- selves of Uie absolute safety of their chimneys. There are a lot of people who nils old clothes ami other stuff around in the garret« ami l*aaetnente that should tie removed to safer corners Particularly old greasy rags are ex tremely dangerous. A lot of fin» have occurred in the Mt. Scott Motion that ought to iiave been investigated more carefully. Then- is no doubt that doaena of places have been burned for insurance and others will go hkewiar if official»1 are not careful.

If a tire should get started now, particularly in tbe dis trict north of l*enta. a large number of homes would be seriously endangered.

COOKERY Of STRONG rlCVORtb VtGtUBlfS The many people who believe they cannot eat cabbage, cauliflower, onions, and turnips without suffering from in digestion, and the many others who do not like these strong flavored vege tables, which are very valuable in the diet, should change their method of cooking them. Use a large quantity of water in pro portion to the qnanity of vegetable to be cooked. To prepared Creamed Cab bagecut the cabbage, not too tine, with a knife. Have two quarts of »lightly salted water boiling rapidly, add ore j quart of coarsely cut cabbage. Boil, uncovered, until the cabbage is tender when tried with a fork. Drain at once and add one cup ot medium white sauce. The mixture may then be placed in a well buttered baking dish, covered with buttered crumus, and biowned in a moderate oven. Onions, cauliflower, and turnips may be prepared in the same way. Small I onions should be boiled whole, larger j ones cut in quarters; cauliflower may i lie left in the head or broken into smaller pieces; and turnips should be cut in cubes. The advantages of this method of cooking are: The vegetable stays 1 white or pale green in color, the odor in the house is not disagreeable, tbe flavor is much better, and the food I more easily digested than when a covered kettle or flrelese cooker is need.

Class Entertainment On Tuesday evening August 24, the Loyal Daughters' Class of the Millard Avenue Presbyterian Church School, ae- birted by their teacher, Mrs George Merry, entertained Mr. Ruthertord's class of boys in the Sunday school rooms of the church. The rooms were prettily decorated with Japanese lan terns, garlands of crepe paper ol the class colors of the Loyal Daughters and large boquets of dahlias, nasturtiums and goldenglow. The evening was spent in mnsi- and games. The girls were assiste«! in serv ing refreshments by Mrs. H. D. Murray anti Mrs. Ellton Shaw. At the close of the festivities a fond good-bye was saui to Alta McDowell, who leaves the city early next week Those present were: Alta McDowell. Lucille Marsh, Claudine Moore, Edna Gilbert, Agnes Murray, Ruth Murray, Marie Dewey, Lonnie Shaw. John Ram sey. Rollin Moore.

He also gave instructions that his funeral be conducted by the Oddfellows and named T. C. Krender, F. R. Peterson, J. W. McNeil and Mr. Bush as pall bearers. He willed his gratnapbone to the county jail, and if it would not be acceptable to them he asked that it be sent, to tbe Oddfellows home. He gave definite instructions that Mrs. Chard should not attend his funeral. Of course all this and a good de •-! more sounds pretty silly now that Chard is not dead. Among other things he took a few “shots" at the paik officials and tbe commissioners, that will not look good when he gets ready to resume operations again. That, however, moet of it can be ex cused on the grounds of his being under tbe influence of liquor. Mr. Chard is about 48 years of age. He speaks both French and English. Moet of his troubles are due to hie in temperate use of liquor. If he would quit that, and if people who know hie tendencies would quit selling him liqaor, he would get along very well. He is all right to work when he is sober. Construction of the Willamette Val ley and Siletz railroad is being pushed. L. E. Fry of Arlington will erect a modern garage at Condon.
