BY LILIAN TINGLE. PRESH pineapples are cheap just now, and many housewives are taking advantage of this fact and are serving them both fresh and pooked, in a number of different ways. Others, however, are hardly awake to the possibilities of this delicious fruit. .. The pineapple when fresh and in per fect condition is one of the most whole some of fruits, ranking probably next to the citrus, family. It has, of course, very little nutritive value, -containing as it does so high a percentage of water: but the valuable salts, .and re freshing flavor compensate for this. Fresh pineapple juice also contains a a ferment similar to some of the. di gestive ferments of the body, which will digest both animal and vegetable sub stances, and to which Chittenden has given the name "bromelin." The name may not Interest you. hut the fact that pineapple Juice is often helpful in ca tarrhal affections of the stomach, and as a gargle for a sore throat, may be a useful thing to know. It is also well to remember that since this ferment acts outside the body, as well as In side, it is not wise to leave fresh pine apple juice in contact with cream or egg mixtures or salad dressings for any length' of time, or it may "get busy" and ruin the texture and flavor of your carefully . prepared salad or desserL . ' The .woody fiber is, of course, indi gestible, but this indigestible bulk is sometimes' useful for middle-aged peo ple, with dyspepsia due to overeating. For children and invalids, however, the Juice is probably more wholesome, and this can easily be extracted by a fruit press. The ferment "bromelin" is de stroyed by cooking, so that if Ice cream. Bavarian" cream, of such dishes are to be prepared from fresh pineapple, it Is well to scald the pulp and Juice be fore mixing. , Cut Hrnlt Before reeling. ' A friend from "where they grow" tells me that a pineapple should be cut In slices before peeling, and then each slice should be pared individually, with out much loss of juice. Sometimes It teems to me that each individual has I "special way" of parinar pineapple. They always want to show me. and I II ways let them, because 1 would rather sat than pare pineapple, any day. In early and mid--Victorian days. In London, when long and massive din ners were the rule, and where huge centerpieces of fruits were a formal -part of the dessert, a pineapple was an object of almost superstitious venera tion. A writer, in a favorite old cook book of mine (dated 1847), speaking of pineapples, says: "Many times I have had the pleasure of meeting with the same pineapple, even as often as twice In less than 12 hours, in quite a differ ent direction, that is, on a dinner table in the West End about 8 o'clock in the evening, and at midnight on the sup per table of a civic ball. At dinner. It was perched on an elevated stand, in the center of a .large, .wide table, so much out of reach that it would almost require a small ladder to get at iL And I must say that every guest paid due respect to Its high position, and never made art assault or even an attempt to disturb, .much less uncrown, his fruity majesty; though now and then one of the fair guests, as a compliment, -would remark to- her host, that she never saw In her life a finer pineapple. "Very fine, very fine, indeed, madam! Will you allow me to offer you part of an orange?" "Not any -more, I thank you, sir" being the reply. On the sup per table, this aristocratic and inac cessible pineapple still holds Its kingly rank and is still proudly perched on the top of a ' sideboard, surrounded by Portugal or Rhenish grapes: and to prevent Its dethronement by the re moval of the grapes, the intelligent waiter has carefully tied it to the or nament that supports it." Fruit Is More Common. Times have changed with facilities for Importing fruit, and even In Lon don, piheapplesno longer have to be tied to prevent their consumption. Peo ple even complain that they get tired of plain, fresh pineapple. Here, then, are a few recipes and suggestions for its use. both fresh and preserved. It Is good in almost any . kind of a fruit salad, both of the sweet and half sweet varieties, and it combines well with lettuce and celery, and cream cheese. French dressing or syrup dressing is safest where fresh pine apple is used in a salad that has to stand; but if quickly served, or if canned pineapple is used, other kinds, such as mayonnaise, cream, cooked and gelatine dressings may be satisfactory. Here are some combinations, a foun dation of lettuce being always under stood: 1. A round slice of pineapple the center-hole being filled with a ball of well-seasoned Neufchatel or cottage cheese rolled in nuts: strips of canned red pimento (best cut with a French garnishing knife) arranged on the pineapple radiating from the ball of cheese. Mayonnaise or cream dressing. 2. A similar arrangement with (scalded) green pepper strips. The cheese ball may here be combined with a little bar-le-duc or. home-made -currant, strawberry or gooseberry pre serve, or may - be rolled In finely (chopped parsley or (where the flavor is liked) in very finely chopped spear mint. Coarsely chopped mint or pars ley will be both ugly and course in flavor. 3. Mix one cup fresh chopped pine apple with a cup of carefully prepared grapefruit pulp, one half cup 'celery. and a few nuts. Serve in grapefruit shells garnished with a cherry or col ored fruit paste to match the scheme of decoration. Syrup or cream dress ing. Orange may be substituted for grapefruit. 4. Mix 'the 'above ....; cooked or mayonnaise, dressing to hold it to gether, pack into a timbale mould and turn out on lettuce. .. Garnish with a star of mayonnaise. 1 5. Pineapple, stoned cherries, celery. Serve on. lettuce with French dressing. 6. Pineapple, apple, celery, almonds or walnuts, sultana raisins- cut in thin, narrow strips. Mix, unmould and serve with mayonnaise. Preserved .cherries or Canton ginger may be substituted for the Sultanas. 7. Peel, scoop out, drain, and set on ice even-sized tomatoes. When ready to aerve,- fill with equal parts celery and pineapple (or pineapple alone) mixed with cream, cooked, or mayon naise dressing. French dressing might also be used. The tomato may be cut to represent a flower. 8. Pineapple, celery, apple or pear and pimento. In strips. Finely chopped green pepper might be used instead of pimento. French, cream or mayon naise dressing. 9. Cut some fine peach-plums Into four sections, removing the stone. Place three -of these on a slice of pine apple, skin side up, .three inner points touching. Place a blanched or salted almond between each. Fill the center with chopped almonds or chopped cel ery hearts mixed w-ith cream or may onnaise dressing. 10. Arrange slices of pear, peach and pineapple "with a few nuts and almonds and a bit of preserved cherry or ginger. - - L'se .sweet cream dressing, sweet egg dressing, syrup dressing or a gelatine dressing (with or without egg). Thompson seedless grapes and sliced bananas will combine with all or any of the above fruits and dress ings, -and will be approved by those who like a salad to contain "Just everything." 11. Combine pineapple, seeded white grapes or Thompson seedless grapes, shred apples, celery and blanched Brazil nuts with cream mayonnaise dressing. 12. Arrange triangular pieces of pineapple alternately with strawber ries cut In sections from the point and opened like flowers. French, cream. or mayonnaise dressing. 13. Fill prepared banana skins with sliced bananas and shredded pine apple, garnish with chopped nuts and Maraschino cherries, French, cream, mayonnaise or sweet dressing. 14. Combine pineapple, orange, sliced dates and pecans or other preferred nuts. Ground cherries or grapefruit may be substituted for orange. These are, of course, only a few of the many possible salad combinations and arrangements, but they may prove suggestive. Medicinal Value Great. Good canned pineapple can be pur chased so cheaply that It Is hardly worth while for'the housewife to un dertake iL Uncooked canned pine apple, however, is sometimes worth do ing -for its medicinal value. Preserved pineapple, uncooked. Grate or chop the pineapple and for every pound of fruit-pulp allow a pound of sugar. Let stand together 12 hours, covered, in a cool place, or if possible, on ice. Then fill to overflowing thor oughly sterilized Jars. The tops and rubbers must of course be dipped in boiling water. Seal at once, and dip the tops in melted parafine. Keep in a cold place. Uncooked pineapple chips. Pare and slice the pineapple very thin. Place these chips on dishes and cover with powdered sugar. Keep for 10 days-in a warming oven or very slow oven with the door open, turning the slices and adding sugar dally. When the sugar has penetrated the fruit, and it is drying out, place on sheets of papeaJ well coated .with sugar, cover witn more sugar and store in a dry place. Some makers put the fruit into a quick oven for 10 minutes before cooling and packing in sugar. Candied pineapple is useful for can dles and desserts and may be made from either fresh or canned fruit, as follows: Candied Pineapple. Cook two and a half cups of sugar and one cup water to the soft boil stage. Put into it a pound of pineapple slices, being sure the syrup covers them. Boil up once and keep over night. Next day, drain off the syrup, add half a cup of sugar and cook again to' the soft boil stage. Add the pineapple, boll up, and let stand as before. Repeat this the fol lowing day. Next day the slices should look full of sugar and semi-transparent. Again heat the syrup to boiling point, and add the pineapple. Then stir until the syrup begins to grain. Spread the slices on stiff waxed paper to dry. Store in boxes, using granulated sugar for packing. This method may be used for cherries or any other iirm-nesnea. well-flavored fruit. Pineapple may be used in omelettes. souffles, fritters, cake-fillings, pies. starchy puddings, trifles and custards, gelatine desserts, sherbets, ice creams, fruit punches. Jam, marmalade, syrup and Jelly. Even the parings are some times used to make pineapple "wine" or "beer," or pineappie vinegar. Dad's Definition. London Tit-Bits.

With Having Made All the Arrangements Without Advice of Family or Friends, Inviting Some to the Ceremony Who Have Not Been on Cordial Terms With Some of Her Relatives SVN FRANCISCO. July 27. (Special.) Bishop William Ford Nichols, of the Episcopal Church, is said to have received a personal check for $1500 for officiating at the wedding of Malcolm D. Whitman and Jennie Crocker in the little picturesque church at San Mateo, recently. . The rector of the church got a check for J300 for assisting the bishop in the marriage ritual. It was fitting that Bishop Nichols should have conducted the wedding ceremony for a member of the house of Crocker. The. Crockers gave him their loyal support when he came here from a Philadelphia rectorship to be a Cali fornia bishop, about 20 years ago. Nichols, however, is a strong character, a worker and a diplomat. His ability has won for him success and recogni tion aside from the cordial support of Episcopalians of all degrees of wealth. After the 1906 fire the bride of last week was one ot the Crockers who gave to the bishop and the church its single largest gift, the old Crocker homestead block on Nob Hill, for a cathedral site. Anent the Crocker-Whitman nuptials, a clubman and financier who should be In a position to know, said the other night that Miss Jennie Crocker is the wealthiest woman In her own name born on the Coast who has married an Eastern man and will make her home away from here. Some other rich local women, who have done likewise, are mentioned in the following order: Mrs. C. B. Alexander, of New York, who was Miss Hattle Crocker. Lady Hesketh, who was a Sharon. The Princess Colona, who was a stepdaughter of the late John W. Mackay. The Princess Hatzfeldt, who was a Huntington-Prentice. Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, who was Miss Tessie Fair. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., who was Miss Birdie Fair. The Princess Poniatowski, who was Beth Sperry. Lady Bache Cunard. who was a Burke , a niece of Horace W. Car penter. The same Informant also alluded to one of the Tobin girls, who married and went to Paris to live, and to a daughter of . William B. Bourn, who married a couple of years ago and Ir now Mrs. Arthur Rose Vincent and lives in Ireland. The former Jennie Crocker gave her personal attention to most of the de tails' for 'her marriage. It-is- known that she did not ask Henry T. Scott. one of her business managers, for any advk-e, much to the surprise of her friends and of Mr. Scott in particular. This does not mean, however, that the oung lady and the astute Mr. Scott are not on cordial terms. She did not want any special train to convey the guests from San Francisco to San Mateo and there was none. Why? Sim ply a whim on her part. She arranged In detail the moving picture contracts for the wedding, ex acting a bond that none of the pic tures should be given to the newspa pers, and they were not. The railroad officials took her orders about handling her private car after the wedding breakfast and she also perfected the deal for the lease of the McCloud River Country Club's home for tho first ten days of the honey moon. She also insisted on inviting as guests to lior wedding some people that some of her. close relatives are not par ticularly friendly with. It Is said there were ten so invited. They are splendid men and women and it is to her credit and good heart that she did not overlook them at her wedding. The event ran smoothly in all its re ligious, social and material details and it stamps the pretty, little blonde as havlnjr good executive ability and opin ions cf her own. together with good taste and discretion, despite the fact tht she has been a pampered pet, born in the lap of luxury. " Rudolph and Claus Spreckels and WllVnm P. Hammon are the latest Cali fornia millionaires to enter the Cali fornia oil fields as investors. Others equally rich, if not wealthier, long ago ma-Je similar investments. A great many more men with smaller means cntf.reu the business at the ouset 1 years ago and even later and today are etlo to write their checks in six !lS'ires. But the business is constantly grow ing. With the opening of the Panama Canal the market for California oil will be greatly enlarged. It is on this account that the Spreckels brothers have made purchases of oil lands In the Santa Barbara country. Hammon, whh some London friends, has bought Into the San Joaquin oil fields. Min ing for gold with dredgers on the Feather River laid the foundation of the Hammon fortune. Rudolph and Claus Spreckels got rich In sugar fully 20 years ago and San Francisco really Investments later on added greatly to their worldly goods. The fire fatality seems to have struck California Summer resorts. Byron Hot Springs, in this locality, was burned to the ground one nlRht and the guesta had to fl;e, many of them in blankets and pajamas, losing the personal be longings they had with them. Camp Curry, one of the resorts in the Yosemlte Valley, was also partially burned, many of the cottages erected for visitors being destroyed. As there are thousands of other such resorts, however, it will hardly make any material changes In the vacation plans of those Californians who have not already had their yearly rest. NO ONE STRONGER THAN HIS STOMACH. The celebrated Dr. Abernetby of London was firmly of the opinion that disor ders of the stomach were the most prolifio source of human ailments in general. A recent medical writer says: " every feeling, emotion and affection reports at the stomach (through the system of nerves) and the stomach is affected accordingly. . It is the vital center of the body ." He continues, " so we may be said to live through) the stomach." He goes on to show that the stomach is the vital center of the body. For weak stomachs and the consequent indigestion or dyspepsia, and the multitude of various diseases which result therefrom, no medicine can be better suited as a curative agent than Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. "Several months ago I suffered from ascvero pain right under the breast-bone," writes SIrs. G. M. Miiikks, of Corona. Calif. "Had sufferiil from It, off and on, for sev eral years. I also suffered from heart-burn, did not know what was the matter with me. I tried several medicines but they did me no good. Finally. I was told it was my liver. I did not dare to eat as it made me worse. When ever I swallowed anything ft seemed that I would faint It hurt so. I grew very thin end weak from not eating. Was told to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Mpdieal Dlscovory. I took ; five bottles of it, and could feel myself getting better from the first dose. I conld eat a little without pain and grew strong fast. To-day I am strong and well and can do a big : day's work with ease. Can eat everything and have put on , flesh wonderfully. I will say to all sufferers write to Dr. Pierce. He has my undying gratitude." Has. UuuuBf. 31
