    PEOPLE OF THE DAY
A Conserver of Public Health.
Prominent among the world's scien
tists nnd disease experts at the Inter
national tuberculosis congress nt Wash
ington was Dr. Walter Wyninn, sur
geon general of the t'nltcd States bti
reau of public health nnd tnnrlne hos
pital service. Dr. W.vniau wns presi
dent or that section of the congress
which discussed state and municipal
control of tuberculosis.
Surgeon General Wyinim has been
connected with the marine hospital
service since 1S70 nnd has been the
head of the bureau since 1801. Ho

controls the adinlnlstratlon of the na
tional quarantine law and Its various
establishments. Always n friend of
seamen. Dr. Wyman lias given special
attention to their physical welfare and
was Instrumental in having laws passed
for their benefit. Ho is a voluminous
writer on matters affecting the public
health nnd established the first govern
ment sanitarium for consumptives at
Port Stanton, N. M. Dr. Wymau Is a
native of Missouri and Is sixty years
old.
Money Grows on Gates.
John W. Gates has had his failures
In Wnll street as well ns his successes,
but with only the traditional shoe
string as capital he has always man
aged to get together another fortune.
The collapse of his deal in Tennessee
Coal and Iron before the panic of 1007
was a particularly severe blow. Ho re
tired from Wall street nnd went abroad
for a long rest.
Two downtown men were discussing
his future nt this time.
"I guess they've got Gates 'broke'
for good this time," said one of them,
The other replied quickly:
"You may break, you may shatter John
Gates if you will,
But tho odor of money will cling to him
still."
The Wise Hen.
Bnill Boas before ho sailed for Ham
burg to nssuino the director generalship
of tho Hamburg-American lino was
asked by n reporter to tell what
changes and improvements In tho
great company he proposed to mnko.
"I have nothing to say," said Mr,
Boas. "I desire to omulnte the hen.
The hon in one respect is wise. She
doesn't cncklo much until she has laid
her egg. But sonio people are always
bragging nnd cackling about what
they are going to do beforehand."
Corn Muffins.
To mnko these muffins uso one cup
of cornmeal, ono of wheat flour, half n
cup of white sugar, two tablespoonfuls
of butter, two eggs, one cup of milk,
two small teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der, ono saltspoonful of salt.
Rub butter and sugar together, add
tho beaten eggs, the milk and nt last
tho cornmeal and flour, with which
have been sifted tho salt and baking
powder.
This quantity will make nbout a doz-
en muffins. The method can bo
changed by using a cup of cream in
'place of milk nnd omitting the butter
nnd using only one egg.
Cooking Hints.
In roasting meats, turn with a spoon
Instead of a fork, as tho latter pierces
tho meat and lets tho juice out. Spongo
cako mixed with cold water will be
yellow, but mixed with boiling water
will bo white. When making white
cako use a half tenspoonful more of
cream of tartar than soda. The extra
cream of tartar makes tho egg whites
suffer.
Hashed Potatoes, Delmonico Style.
Wash and peel some potatoes, cut
Into very small dice, almost chopping
tbem, throw Into cold water and soak
Half an hour. Then drain and put them
Into n baking dish, cover with mft'k,
sprinklo with salt and pepper and a ia
blespoonful of butter out Into thin bits.
Bake In a moderate oven for forty-five
minutes.
Cottage Cheese Salad,
Season cottago cheese with grated
white onion, molted butter nnd rich
cream, paprika and salt. Form Into
balls, roll lightly In finely minced
sweet green pepper and arrango on n
bed of tender, crispy watercress. Serve
cbecso wafers with them.
Tomato Preserves.
Twclvo pounds ripe tomatoes, eight
pounds sugar, six lemons cut in small
pieces, two tablespoons whole cloves
nnd a large cupful stick cinnamon or,
if preferred, three-fourths -pound green
ginger. Cook until rather firm, but
not too dark.
