C., March 1.— And still one of the complete and muchly-mooted question being asked at the capital city nowadays is: "When does the administra- tion intend to give fitting recogni- tion to the Negro voters of the United States?" Since President Taft assumed office a year ago, month after month word has been given out by those who are supposed to know, that the Negro voters would soon be properly "taken care of." However, in the many important appointments made up to date not a Negro has been fortunate enough to be numbered in the list. Thus murmuring of discontent from members of the race throughout the United States. Although no Negroes have been given prominent appointments, many of them have been let out of office, and it is now rumored that a plan is on foot to depose Henry A. Rucker as collector of internal revenue of Atlanta, Ga. Last summer John H. Deveaux, collector of customs at Savannah, Ga., died. His place was immediately filled by President Taft with a white Republican. This was done despite the fact that the Negro Republicans of Georgia constitute more than two-thirds of the Republican strength in the state. RUCKER ONLY REMAINING OFFICIAL. The Atlanta newspapers which have been received here contain special dispatches to the effect that Henry A. Rucker, collector of internal revenue, the only remaining Negro official, is soon to be removed. At the same time John C. Dancey, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, has been informed that his place is soon to be vacated and the position given to Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta, Ga. Letters received from Atlanta indicate that when Rucker is removed Johnson will most likely be placed so as to pacify the colored people of Georgia and to have them feel that although they are losing an important position to which no Negro will be appointed, that one of their number is being selected for a position in Washington. REMOVAL AND APPOINTMENT SCHEME. In other words, to make the Negro race throughout the country feel less keenly this second important presidential position which has been taken away from the Negro in the state of Georgia. Of course, removing one Negro official from office in the District of Columbia and putting another Negro official from Georgia in his place is considered by the Negro voters nothing less than the distinct loss of one more presidential position under President Taft's administration. Heretofore the President has discussed his programme as contemplating recognizing the Negro voters of the North with positions, but under the program here outlined all of the persons under discussion are southerners. In commenting on the extraordinary attitude of the administration prominent Negro politicians say that the mere exchange of colored officials will not, in the opinion of the Negro people of the country, repay them for the loss of such a presidential office as that which is being held by Mr. Rucker at Atlanta. The general consensus of opinion in Washington is that the President has been badly advised in this matter.—New York Age. MRS. W. T. VERNON ENTERTAINS. BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT AT THE CAPITOL. Leaders in the Social Life of Washington Pay Respects to the Wife of the Register of the Treasury. Washington, D. C., March 4, 1910. A large number of the ladies of Washington called upon Mrs. W. T. Vernon between 7:30 and 10:30 o'clock on the evening of March 3rd. The house was elaborately decorated with palms and flowers. In the receiving line with Mrs. Vernon stood Mesdames Robert H. Pelham, W. S. Lofton, M. C. Terrell, Wm. H. Clifford, A. M. Curtis and Miss Boardley of Philadelphia. The Misses Charlotte Wallace, Abbie Williams, L. Blanche DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 12 1910. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Wright, Therese Lee and Mrs. James Wright directed the arriving and departing guests. Mr. Felix Weir, the eminent violinist, and the famous Jeter brothers rendered continuously during the receiving hours a long line of classical musical selections, which added to the charm and attraction of the evening. A buffet luncheon was served by Underdown. The dining room table was decorated with yellow tulips and jonquils, in the center of which was a large candelabra, the room being illuminated entirely by candle light. The members of the Treble Clef, a musical organization of matrons, were the honored guests who remained during the evening. The design of tulips and jonquils was sent to the maternity ward of Freedmen's hospital, which is under the immediate charge of Dr. M. O. Bousfield of Kansas City, Mo. Among those present were: Mesdames G. W. Cook, A. F. Hilyer, Geo. W. Cabiniss, R. B. Childs, H. C. Tyson, L. J. Holly, R. R. Horner, K. R. Martin, R. L. Pendleton, B. K. Bruce, J. M. Langston, M. B.

Miss Izella Davis, who is attending school at State University, Lawrence, Kansas, is a Muskogee girl, and a graduate of Dunbar High School. We are glad to know that among a large class of mixed students she had the honor of making the highest average in her class. Muskogee, the principal and teachers of the Dunbar High school, are proud of the record Miss Davis has made. The whites of that city were very much surprised to know that a Negro girl from Mukogee, Oklahoma, could carry off the honors, where their sons and daughters were concerned. Give us a chance and we will show to the white race that we are their equal, intellectually, morally, and in fact in everything. The Enterprise. --- TOOK NEGRO HERBS Kansas City, March 1.—How Chessing Hatred Chase Jordan, a Negro herb doctor of Kansas City, Kan., who advertises himself as "minister of medicines medical doctor and doctor of liver and gall stones," obtained some $15,000 in eight years for doctoring members of the Swope family was told by the "doctor" last Friday. He gave a deposition in the slander suit brought by Dr. B. C. Hyde against John G. Paxton, executor for the estate of Col. Thomas W. Swope, whose death is under investigation by a grand jury. Jordan's name was first brought into the Swope case when Mrs. B. C. Hyde issued a statement expressing confidence in her husband's innocence, and saying that Chrisman Swope used Jordan's remedies. Jordan gave his deposition after much protest, as he claimed his ministerings to the Swopes had nothing to do with the case. Jordan testified that his medicines were harmless "yarbs," He said they were compounded from roots and leaves obtained in foreign countries and in the woods near Kansas City. The herbman says he was born in Chili and was reared by a Negro, Eli Jordan, in Texas. There is no record of his having a physician's license in Kansas. CUREEW BELLS. Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 25.—The curfew bell rang for the entire Negro population of Memphis tonight at midnight by order of Edward H. Crump, Memphis "boy Mayor" All members of the black race on the streets after 12 o'clock were ordered arrested, and the police and plainclothes men were busy in the afternoon warning Negroes to finish their rambles early or suffer the consequences. Negroes who work at night were required to furnish a written noties to that effect. Several clashes between whites and blacks lately are responsible for Mayor Crump's order. Police, after a desperate street battle yesterday killed James Bellamy, a Cairo Negro, accused of resisting arrest with a pistol. There were other clashes between Negroes and officers, and the climax was reached at the surburban farm of G. C. Bennett last night when deputy sheriff W. H. Lucy was killed by Aaron Norfleet, a Negro, who refused to submit to arrest on the charge of larceny. Norfleet got the drop on Lucy with a shotgun, and when brother officers tried to rescue Lucy, Nor fleet blew Lucy's head off. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Washington, D. C., March 1.—Yesterday the President sent to the Senate the name of Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., for the position of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. Mr. Johnson is a talented lawyer and a staunch friend of Frank Hitchcock, and will carry ability and dignity to the office to which he has been appointed. Washington, Feb. 26.—In tow of Representative Langley the Kentucky Negroes who are endorsing the appointment of Albert S White, of Louisville, as Minister to Haiti, called on Postmaster-General Hitchcock today. They were assured that the President and Hitchcock were giving the matter earnest thought. The furniture establishment of C. W. Peters, and Co., 601 603 Dauphin street, Mobile, Ala., with C. W. Peters, president and general manager, is about the finest and most complete of its kind under colored proprietorship in the country. The stock of goods consisting of a variety of grades and descriptions, covering a large area of floor space, is probably worth $30, 000. Mr Peters himself is supposed to be worth any where from $40,000 to $50,000. James I. Peterson, superintendent of the letter-carrier force in Mobile post office, all of whom are colored, numbering thirty-five, is reputed to be the wealthiest colored man in the city. No one but himself knows the value of his holdings. It is, however, conservatively estimated to be between $75,000 and $100,000. His houses are located not only in Negro quarters, but among the wealthy whites who are also among his tenents. Social settlement workers will make work among the colored people of Cincinnati a separate and distinct institution from similar work among the whites. It is declared that there is no adequate provisions for taking care of colored children; that they have no day nursery, children's home, place of refuge, and like places, especially for colored children. Lexington, Ky., March 4. Marcus Jennings, who after being injured several years ago by John Mukes, a Negro swore vengeance NO.26 against the entire Negro race, today shot and killed George McComas, a Negro, without warning. Jennings, so far as known, had never seen his victim before. Mukes, who injured Jennings, was assassinated some time ago. No trace of his slayer was ever found. Jennings has been arrested. Washington, D. C., March 2. At a session of the Committee on the District of Columbia of the House of Representatives, held last week, Congressman Heflin's bill to provide separate street cars for white and colored passengers of Washington was given a black eye. The bill was turned down by the committee despite the efforts of Heflin and allies to have it passed. It is said that Heflin's disgraceful conduct on the street cars has not proved a good argument that Negroes should be put in "Jim Crow" cars because of their alleged obnoxious actions. Less than twelve years ago Elridge Price 49 East Street, Dothan, Ala., was a cook in a private family in that place. Today he is a real estate broker, the fortunate owner of several tenement houses and the proprietor of a large general merchandise store, filled with a stock of goods, valued at about $10,000, upon which he realizes a business of $25,000 a year. He is now having erected in the heart of the business section on a lot he paid $1,000, for a two-story building to cost $6,000. His "paper" is regarded as "gilt edge" in any of the four banks of the city. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., March 1. The report that a Negro orphan asylum is to be located on the Cornelius Vail estate, near the homes of Frederick Vanderbilt, John H. Huyler, Archibald Rogers and other millionaire residents of Hyde Park, has started a local movement to buy the Vail place and head off the asylum. An option on the Vail place had been obtained by New York real estate men. The whole town is aroused and several meetings have been held. No such institution ever before attempted to force its way into the region so popular with New York millionaires. Hyde Park citizens fear that should this asylum gain a foothold value of land would depreciate. THURSTON H. U.

TRACT OF FIVE TOWNSHIPS SOUGHT FOR COLORADO AG- RICULTURAL COLLEGE. LAND CAN BE USED FOR AGRICUL. TURE, ENGINEERING, DITCH AND ROAD BUILDING. Denver.—If the bill now pending In Congress, introduced in the House by Representative E. T. Taylor, becomes a law, Colorado will have one of the greatest agricultural experiment sta- tions in the United States. The bill in question gives to the state about five townships of land west of the State Agricultural college and adjoin: ing the college pasture lands. The land is in a tract six miles wide and about thirty miles long, and extends from an elevation of 5,000 feet to timber line. While there are a few patented tracts included within the boundaries of the lands asked for, the bulk of it is pub- lic land. Half of it is within the for- est reserves and half outside. It is the idea of the state board of agriculture to use this land for con- ducting experimental work in forestry. horticulture and agriculture. At pres: ent it is mostly waste land, but it in- cludes practically every condition of soil, altitude and climate to be found in the state, and will provide an ideal location for experimental work. E, M. Ammons of the state board of agriculture has been very active in try ing to secure this land for the Agricul: tural college. He will leave for Wash- ington next week to assist In explain. ing the object to the congressional committee, and has strong hope that the bill will meet with favor. Speale ing of the bill, Mr. Ammons said: “It is practically impossible to send our students out over the state to en- gage in practical experimental work. If we have this tract adjoining the col lege it will be used by the station and the students in all kinds of experi ments. “The engineering students will sur- vey it and map it. The irrigation stu dents will build reservoirs and ditches on it, and the road engineers will ex periment in the construction of moun tain roads, The work we do in this way will be of a permanent character and we hope eventually this tract will be one of the most interesting and ed ucational sections in the country. “We have nearly every kind of for est tree grown in the state already growing under natural conditions. We can study them and introduce new va rieties, and our schools of forestry will find this experimental tract invalu able. “There are a number of small, open | parks scattered through the tract | which can be used by the hortiewtur al department for trying various fruit trees and vines at different altitudes | We can plant experimental vineyards | experiment in all methods of irriga | tlon, study the various forage grasses | that will grow up in the mountains |and, in short, make this waste lan¢ | the most valuable adjunct to our col | lege and experiment farm. | “Ot course, it will take years o} work and a great deal of money tc finally reclaim all of this land, but th« value it will do the state and West car hardly be overestimated. The work done there will be of benefit not only to the farmers and stockmen of thi: state, but adjoining states as well. We feel that every citizen of Colorado is interested in this matter and w« should have the backing and assis tance of all organized bodies in secur ing the passage of the bill.” State Museum Building. Denver—Work on the excavation for the new state historical museum at Fourteenth avenue and Sherman street being well under way, with a prospect that the laying of the cornerstone will be commenced before long, the state board of capitol managers has let a contract to the American Bridge Com- pany for $7,500 to put up the steel work on the building as far as the first story. The legislative appropriation is sufficient to complete the building only that far, and an additional appro- priation will be necessary to finish it. No Interest on Legacies.

PLANS FOR IMMENSE MASS MEET- ING WHICH MAY RESULT IN TROUBLE. Philadelphia, March 9.—President BE. E. Greenwalt of the Pennsylvania federation appointed a committee nine to confer with the Philadelphia committee of ten as to when the strike shall be inaugurated in other cities. This committee held a meet- ing tonight and formulated a report which will be presented to the conven- tion tomorrow. Promises of help from without and development of strength in its own field, which appeared to take even its most confident leaders by surprise, in- jected new life into the strike move- ment today. The campaign received impetus when the news came that the conven- tion of the State Federation of Labor ‘at Newcastle had declared that a na- tion-wide tie-up of industry would not be too great a price for the success of the local cause. The movement in sympathy with the striking employes of the Transit company today invaded what was sup- posed to be a secure citadel of the op- posing forces. The strike leaders in- duced over 1,000 employes of the Baldwin locomotive works to walk out this afternoon following the early morning desertion of possibly as many more. To the threat of a country-wide strike if the local traction heads did | Mot agree to arbitration, the company officials @ade curt response, announc- ing that they had said their last word on arbitration and that if the wide- spread strike depended on their yield- ing to the arbitration demand the strike would come. Possible trouble tomorrow was indi- cated by the announcement of the strikers that they would hold an open air mass meeting in the National league baseball park at noon. ‘The po- lice declared the meeting would not be permitted, but the men reiterated their intention of holding it. The strikers say the meeting will be or- derly. ‘The committee of ten declared to- | night it proposed to disregard the po- lice prohibition of the proposed meet- ing and would hold it tomorrow as an- nounced. The announcement was coupled with the publication of a let- ter which J. Burwood Daly, counsel for the strikers, had sent to Director of Safety Clay. In it the attorney declared there | was no law which could be invoked to forbid such a meeting on private, in- closed property, such as the ball park, and that to prevent its being held would be to interfere with the right of | peaceable gathering and of free | speech. ‘The letter added that if the director thought the presence of po- lice necessary to preserve order they would be welcome. ‘The street car company today [slightly increased the number of cars in service, and the lines in the busi- ness and residence districts were ap- | parently more largely patronized than on any other day since the strike be- gan. ‘An important accession to the ranks of the strikers was announced tonight from Camden, N. J., where 1,500 car- penters went out. About the same number quit work at suburban points, and the men declared that if neces- “sary 2,200 carpenters would be called ‘out in Montgomery county, adjacent to Philadelphia, tomorrow. The committee of ten tonight ts- sued its detailed list of the men, they ‘say, are now on strike. The total claimed is 139,571, which does not in- clude, the statement says, several thousands forced to stop work in plants where there were walkouts. The committee claims that 40,000 men are out in the building trades, 20,000 in the metal trades, 30,000 in the tex- tile industry, and 19,000 men and wo- men in the garment making industry. Figures are given for only a few of ‘the individual plants affected, includ- ing the Baldwin Locomotive works, ‘where the committee claim 6,000 men ‘are out. * Run on Cleveland Bank.

FORGET IT! ‘Tum spasm aroused by the presentation in Denver of Thomas Dixon’s hateful play, The Clansman, should not be allowed to disturb our souls for long. It might have been a greater mark for us if we had agitated against it as passionately and as suecessfully as we did against the social clubs some time back, but now that it has come and gone, and weak people have allowed themselves to be duped into the cow- ardly indulgence of demoralizing passions and shameful hatreds over fictitious and imaginary ghosts of dead conditions, we may as well for- get it and let public conscience pursue its silent obsequies. ‘The ‘Tabor Grand Opera House has given us many a shock in the course of its career, but it has involved us in no real tragedies. It was the first of our theatres to establish the color line in its seating priv- ileges and it has permitted us to be dealt many a secret dagger thust, but we remember the quotation on its old, gorgeous drop curtain: “So fleet the works of men back to the earth again, Ancient and holy things fade like a dream.”” How much fleeter then do already dead and rotten things fade from the hearts and minds of men! Unworthy passions cannot be made to survive in the glare of that high aspiration which is leading the world up to truth and peace and righteousness. > BUYING FOR THE CHILDREN. taxpayers of municipalities buy pub | ever stopped to consider the question should be the same as the reason f Wu do the taxpayers of municipalities buy public service institu- tions? Have you ever stopped to consider the question? ‘The reason for a public purchase should be the same as the reason for a private pur- chase, for the principle involved is exactly the same. Tf a man is renting a property and can improve his conditions and enlarge his profits by purchasing that property, with the knowledge that he can sell it again at a profit, or when he dies, he can leave it for the enjoyment of his fam- ily, he strives and saves and makes the purchase, with a laudable and worthy reason. It is a nice thing for a man to be able to give his chil- dren a start in life. But a sensible man does not purchase what he al- ready has, nor that which will not bring him a profit, nor that which, after his own beneficial use, he cannot leave to the certain enjoyment of his family. There are some things which a city should own in its own right. They are the things which the city administrators need for their official uses, and the things which every citizen should have the privilege of enjoying, but which every citizen may not be able to provide by private contract. The publie welfare demands that these latter benefits be provided by the eity for the enjoyment of its eitizens at nom- inal cost. They include the public schools, the parks, and the public libraries, which are a benefit in common to every citizen and the legit- imate burden of the taxpayer. The ordinary individual eannot provide these benefits without publie intercession, and therefore they become the proper and rightful subjeets of publie administration. But if eiti- zens can be provided by private contract with means of necessary pri- vate benefits and comforts, such as heat, light and water, why should the city undertake to provide these things, unless it shall be at a mere- ly nominal cost, or why should the citizen consent to inerease his taxes for a lifetime that the city may purehase or build the plants with which these benefits are already privately supplied? The citizen who volun- tarily taxes himself to enable the city to make these purehases is not buying anything that he can leave to his children, for the children will have to pay rent for them the same as the parent did before them. The doting father who buys a house or a farm for his son, knows that the son will reap the benefit, but if he binds himself by his vote to become a joint purchaser of a publie water plant, he gives his son nothing more than he had before. There is a wiser way for municipalities to serve the publie interest in connection with publie service institutions. That is by enacting ordinances that will properly and equitably control the terms upon which the service is provided. By this means every benefit possible may be saved to the individual taxpayer and citizen. Private enterprise is the proper and most efficient serviee where private contract and private use is universally possible. Otherwise the taxpayer is called upon to purchase that which he will never own and which he will neyer get through paying for. | Smug | Conceit By JOH By JOHN A. HOWLAND r WAS Gen. Grant, if I remember, who in the beginning ol his military experience discovered that the enemy was quite as likely to be as much afraid of him as he was of the enemy. To this bit of philosophic observation Grant said that he owed much of his military success. Had Grant been a man of business on the competitive basis probably his horse sense would have availed him in some such manner by which he would have arrived at some similar basic principle for campaign purposes. He took stock of himself, ‘after which he was more than willing to discover the strength of his opposition. In these piping times of peace, however, when courage so often is measured by the individual's inability to be afraid simply because he doesn’t know enough, there is no man in the ranks of business who can afford to slight the importance of his competition, As adminis- trative head of a business or as onc of the smallest employes in the ranks that man who knows his own ground first must be familiar with the grounds of his competitors. Not only do these complacent ones fail to take advantage of the warning note in such a condition, but they lay themselves still further open to the aggressions of those competitors wise enough to appreciate how thoroughly they are off their guard. No one can be more thoroughly off guard than is the one wholly wrapped up in his own smug conceit. In such a condition he not only is no longer on the offensive but he is inca- pable of defense against influences which menace but which he refuses to recognize. Occasionally some young man in an office organization wakens sud- denly to this competitive condition surprised. He discovers that young Jones is “after his job!” His first thought is of indignant accusation. He had thought Jones was a friend rather than a sneaking traitor. In this new light he cannot command words sufficient to express his contempt of Jones. Why shouldn't Jones be after it? No organizer of men could hope 2 = NO eRe a ca ere tet et Ree of ambition, encouraged in a degree to lead men to hope for preferment as a reward for conscientious service. That man who holds a position above only one other man in a business organization must expect that “man below him to nurse a certain amount of hope to sueceed him. ‘The game is competitive all along the line. Busi- ness competition is no less than war methods on a peace footing. Campaign strategy never before was 0 universally recognized as necessary in the conduct of business in general. changed by some dealers at almost every turn. Liquid measures are used very often where dry measures are the legal measures, there being a dif- ference of about ten cubic inches approximately between a quart liquid measure and a dry measure. Even if scales are not dishonest or tampered with people are fre- quently made to pay from 85 to 40 cents a pound for wooden dishes, which are used to hold butter. In purchasing oysters they are often obliged to pay about 20 cents a pint for water which can be had at the kitchen sink for nothing. ‘The tricky storekeeper will always contrive to short change people by taking the fractional part of a cent when he is not entitled to it. For example, if an article costs 121% cents and a person purchases two, four or six articles, the price of which is 124% cents each, some merchants will always make change for 13 cents. Twice 1214 is 25, four times 121% is 50, six times 12% is 75. But the dishonest storekeeper, by his system of mathematics, will make this amount aggregate 78 instead of 75 cents. It seems that unless a person goes into some stores with blood in his eye, a chip on his shoulder, ready to scrap for every penny’s worth that he buys, he is almost sure to be cheated out of 10 or 12 cents for every dollar spent, particularly if his purchases consist of three or four sepa- rate items. The customer is likely to be nipped for the amount of three or four cents on each article unless he is very alert and strenuously insists on his rights. ‘The customer who has trouble in getting what he pays for should not hesitate to notify the city sealer whenever he has reasonable cause for complaint. i We have had some fairly cold weather this season—56 degrees belov —and that, I want to say, is pretty frigid, even for Alaska. This extrem temperature was followed by a very mild spell, the thermometer showing only zero for some days.

CHANGE THE VIBRATION It Makes for Health. A man tried leaving off meat, potatoes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with cream, some crisp toast and a cup of Postum. His health began to improve at once for the reason that a meat eater will reach a place once in a while where his system seems to become clogged and the machinery doesn't work smoothly. A change of this kind puts aside food of low nutritive value and takes up food and drink of the highest value, already partly digested and capable of being quickly changed into good, rich blood and strong tissue. A most valuable feature of Grape-Nuts is the natural phosphate of potash grown in the grains from which it is made. This is the element which transforms albumen in the body into the soft gray substance which fills brain and nerve centers. A few days' use of Grape-Nuts will give one a degree of nervous strength well worth the trial. Look in pkgs for the little book, "The Road to Wellville." "There's a Reason."

HAS NO INSURANCE HAS NO INSURANCE GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS ARE NOT PROTECTED AGAINST FIRE. Structures Are Valued at $300,000,000 and Efforts Are Made to Make Them All Fireproof—Figures on Losses. Although the United States government owns buildings that cost more than $300,000,000, and is spending $20,000,000 a year for new buildings, none of this property is insured against loss by fire. To avoid this great tax, which, at the ordinary rate of insurance, would cost over half a million dollars, the government constructs than $300,000,000 and is spending $20,000,000 a year for new buildings, none of this property is insured against loss by fire. To avoid this great tax, which, at the ordinary rate of insurance, would cost over half a million dollars, the government constructs only buildings that are securely fire-proof. Tests are now being made by the United States geological survey in Washington to determine the strength and fire resistance of building materials, and, although primarily designed to meet the needs of the government as the largest consumer, the results of these tests are available for general use by the country at large. Results already obtained tend to show that cheaper fireproof materials can be used and that the practice of filmsy construction of buildings will be discouraged by the small difference in cost between fireproof and inflammable building materials. The contrast between the small losses by fire to government buildings and the immense losses reported from the country was responsible for the investigation instituted by the geological survey as to the fire losses in the United States and their exact cost to the people. The findings of this investigation are published by the survey in a report made to-day, which is in part, as follows: The investigation disclosed the fact that the total cost of fires in the United States in 1907, excluding that of forest fires and the marine losses, but including excess cost of fire protection due to bad construction and excess premiums over insurance paid, amounted to over $456,485,000, a tax on the people exceeding the total value of the gold, silver, copper and petroleum produced in the United States that year. The cost of building construction in 1907 in 49 leading cities of the United States reporting a total population of less than 18,000,000 amounted to $661,076,286, and the cost of building construction for the entire country in the same year is conservatively estimated at $1,000,000,000. Thus it will be seen that nearly one-half the value of all the new buildings constructed within one year is destroyed by fire. The annual fire cost is greater than the value of the real property and improvements in either Maine, West Virginia, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alabama, Louisiana or Montana. In addition to this waste of wealth and natural resources, 1,449 persons were killed and 5,654 were injured in fires in the United States in 1907. The direct loss by fires in this country is eight times as much per capita as in any country of Europe. The actual fire loss in the United States due to the destruction of buildings and their contents amounted to $215,084,709, a per capita loss of $2.51. The per capita loss in the cities of the six leading European countries amounted to 33 cents. Comparisons of the total cost of fires, which includes the items already stated, show that if buildings in the United States were as nearly fireproof as those in Europe the annual fire cost would be $90,000,-000 instead of $456,000,000.

There are now on hand in the internal revenue bureau at Washington 48,000,000 stamps, valued at $66,914,000. This is disclosed by a count just completed by a committee of the office force. Two years ago, when a count as taken, there were 162,000,000 stamps on hand ENJOYS "WINDOW SHOPPING." Taft Likes to Look at the Store Displays and to Watch the People "Rubber." Talking as if he were merely a friend who had dropped in for a short chat, and not the president of the United States, William Howard Taft revealed much of his personal side to the newspaper men of the national capital, at an informal reception given him at the National Press club. Prepared for a stroll along Pennsylvania avenue and several of the other busy thoroughfares of the city, which he took after he left the club, the president declared he found much pleasure in walking and looking in the shop windows. He said he enjoyed seeing some person give him a long look and then look away, while the next person would give a second look, then poke his companion in the ribs, "and in the dignity paid by Americans to high office call out 'Hello, Taft!'" Speaking of the White House life and duties, the president said there was a "sense of isolation," in life there, that "nobody just drops in on one in a neighborly way, but all the callers come by engagement." As to getting tired out with work, the president said that the preparation of messages for congress was the hardest he was called upon to do, and that the three or four hours a day he spent in talking over the qualifications for office of men recommended, or rather the claims, they could make as to why they should be appointed, was not real work. HONORED BY THE GREAT Dennis Mullaney, Over Whose Bar Prominent Men Had Been Served, Dies in Washington. Many of the great of the nation paused recently to note with regret the passing of one whom they had been glad to call their friend, though he had moved in a humble sphere. "Dennis Mullaney is dead." The news swept Washington and caused more comment than if a senator or a congressman had gone. Mullaney kept a restaurant at Fourteenth and D streets. Statesmen, actors, writers, artists met there. They knew Mullaney by his first name. He could discuss with intelligence the subject in which each was most interested. He had the ready wit and the generous heart of a real Irishman. His sympathy always went out to those in hard luck. Stories of the secret good he did are many. Mullaney was an inveterate reader of newspapers and magazines. He frequently sent letters to be published in newspapers. The columns of the esteemed New York Sun were always open to him. Many a good story sent out by Washington correspondents came from a tip from Mullaney. He was an authority on racing. He had always studied the track and he had a remarkable memory. He could tell the results of races run years ago, and he knew the records and the pedigrees of many of the fast horses. His funeral was attended by famous men, and Mrs. Mullaney received telegrams from a host of others. HE LOOKED TO THE FUTURE John W. Langley of Kentucky Explains Why He Hob-Nobs with Democrats. John W. Langley of "Bloody Breathitt" county, Kentucky, can be seen any day hob-nobbing in Washington with the Democrats of the house. One day a friend, who met him walking with Judge Rucker of Missouri, asked: "How is it that a Kentucky Republic-an a'ways chooses an old-school Democrat for a companion?" "Well," replied Langley, ever bubbling with good humor, "You see, it's hereditary. My father, my grandfather, in fact, all my ancestors, even the women folks, were as stunchn Democrats as could be found in their day, so I suppose I take to Democrats like a duck to water. I threshed the matter out when I was a youngster, and came to the conclusion that a fellow who had an eye to future prospects, and a little aggrandizement in the matter of 'pie,' would do better to be a Republican, so I lined up with the G. O. P." Whereat the jovial Kentuckian slapped Rucker soundly on the back, and, aside from a slight twinge of the spinal column, there were no hard feelings. $34.83 Per Capita in United States. Thirty-four dollars and eighty-three cents is what every man, woman and child in the United States would have if the $3,122,134,538 which is in circulation were equally divided among them. That is the statement made by the treasury department on the basis of an estimated population of 89,644,000. The total amount of money in circulation is about $30,000,000 more than a year ago at this time. Ask "Lid" for Washington Representative Alken of South Carolina wants the capital of the United States to be "dry" territory. He desires that not a drop of liquor be sold or given away within the District of Columbia, not even in a club. His ideas are incorporated in a bill introduced by him in the house. Men Who Earn an Increase Senator Burkett has proposed an amendment to the post office appropriation bill increasing the pay of carriers on rural routes from $75 to $100 per month. Such an increase is deserved, as these men certainly earn their pay. The Tenderfoot Farmer It was one of these experimental farmers, who put green spectacles on his cow and fed her shavings. His theory was that it didn't matter what the cow ate so long as she was fed. The questions of digestion and nourishment had not entered into his calculations. It's only a "tenderfoot" farmer that would try such an experiment with a cow. But many a farmer feeds himself regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shavings for all the good he gets out of his food. The result is that the stomach grows "weak" the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired and the man suffers the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness. To strengthen the stomach, restore the activity of the organs of digestion and nutrition and brace up the nerves, use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is an unfalling remedy, and has the confidence of physicians as well as the praise of thousands healed by its use. In the strictest sense "Golden Medical Discovery" is a temperance medicine. It contains neither intoxicants nor narcotics, and is as free from alcohol as from opium, cocaine and other dangerous drugs. All ingredients printed on its outside wrapper. Don't let a dealer delude you for his own profit. There is no medicine for stomach, liver and blood "just as good" as "Golden Medical Discovery." DOUBLE REWARD OF VIRTUE Love Story Written by Small Boy at Least Brought Things to a Happy Conclusion. Apropos of love stories in general, Jerome S. McWade, the well-known Duluth connoisseur, said at a recent dinner: "At the approach of Valentine day last year I offered a prize of five dollars to the little boys of my Sunday school class for the best short love story. I have one of the stories here, and I am going to read it to you." Mr. McWade then read: "A poor man fell in love with a lady whose mother was a rich toy dealer. "The poor man could not marry the rich lady, because he had no money. rich lady, because he had no money. "A villain then offered him $50 if he would become a drunkard. "The poor man wanted the money to get married with, so he agreed, but when he got to the beer saloon he said: "No, I will not become a drunkard, even for great riches." "On the way home he found a bag of gold. So the young lady married him. It was a splendid wedding, and the next day they had twins. "Moral—Virtue is its own reward." —N. Y. Times. Do farmers eat the proper sort of food? The farmer of today buys a much larger proportion of the food that goes on the table than he did ten years ago. It's a good thing that this is so because he has a great variety to select from. He should, however, use great care in selecting for the best results in health and strength. The widespread tendency in the city to increase the amount of Quaker Oats eaten is due very largely to the recent demonstrations by scientific men that the Quaker Oats fed man is the man with greatest physical endurance and greatest mental vigor. Farmers should give this subject careful thought and should increase the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by themselves, their children and the farm hands. 57 If She Had Her Choice. A gentleman who finds great amusement in telling his wife which lady of their acquaintance he will select as her successor when she dies, and who, one day, had been teasing her with numberless mock-serious allusions to the subject, suddenly called their little daughter to him and asked her, shaking with laughter at his own wit: "Madeline, how would you like to have a stepmother?" The child considered for a moment and then with great earnestness replied: "I think I'd much rather have a stepfather." $100 Reward, $100.

Girls. Green Peas Make You Flirt Sh! Girls. Green Peas Make You Flirt WASHINGTON.—After a seven-year lapse during the Roosevelt administration men are again giving teas, because President Taft does not consider tea drinking mollycoddish. During the last year of the Roosevelt administration men at teas were very scarce. Even the diplomats who were careless of Roosevelt's vigorously expressed views (which often they did not understand) finally yielded to the influence that eventually caused but a handful of them to be present. Teas in the afternoon practically were wined off the social slate. Now this is all changed. Even the United States army is becoming host at teas, and Capt. Sherwood A. Cheney gave a tea recently to Miss Roosevelt, daughter of the man who believed that an officer who would be host at a tea was no soldier. The officers at Fort Myer and the Marine barracks expect soon to give teas. That tea of Capt. Cheney was the third big tea of the season, although the first to be given by an American. Two other large affairs were presided over, one by the secretaries of the German embassy on the occasion of the Emperor William's birthday and the other by the Marquis de Villalobar, the Spanish minister, who took advantage of the occasion to receive "who is who" in Washington by way of official introduction, although his transfer to Lisbon had been gazetted by his government three weeks previously. "A NEW story on 'Uncle Joe' that I am told never was printed was related to me by former Gov. Benton McMillin of Tennessee while I was traveling with him recently." said Representative James M. Cox of Dayton, O., in Washington recently. "It was my first meeting with Gov. McMillin, and my name suggested the story. When McMillin was in the house a number of years ago the brilliant 'Sunset' Cox of Ohio was a member of that body as was also the present speaker. On one occasion, according to Gov. McMillin, Cox got up to make a speech on some momentous question. "As always when Cox spoke he had the attention of the house. He had launched into his subject and was addressing himself to an important phase of his speech when 'Uncle Joe' TIME was when we didn't feed Rex, Fido, Towser, or whatever that pet pup's name was, raw meat, because we wanted him to become, when he grew up, a nice, cute, well-behaved, home-like canine person. Comes now the department of agriculture in Washington, with its legumnotherapy doctrine (whatever that is!), as a recipe for good human temperament—and for cutting down the "high cost of living." Vegetables are to be taken, according to the legumnotherapists in quantities and varieties to suit the person that eats them. Boiled carrots are prescribed for bad tempers; green peas should be denied to girls with a tendency to flirt; overindulgence in potatoes is apt to produce apathy and laziness; spinach Vice President in IF WORSE comes to worst, and Vice-President Sherman is obliged to earn his living in some other way than that which he has pursued heretofore, no doubt, can get employment as one of Capt. Kennedy's assistants as a guide about the capitol in Washington. Only the other day Miss Helen Taft and two of her school friends were at the capitol, and soon after the senate convened the vice-president went up into the gallery and pointed out to them the notables among the senators. He took the three girls through the capitol, showing them The "five o'clock tea" is considered by Washington hostesses who have the spirit of continental entertaining as a happy medium between the breakfast and the dinner. Breakfast usually occurs at an hour when men are already busy with their affairs, while the dinner is looked upon as too ponderous. With the beginning of the Easter season the president and Mrs. Taft will again inaugurate their lawn parties, which is a different name for afternoon teas. Meanwhile, Lent is in the propitious season for such informal entertainments, especially of an afternoon. Washington men would now be giving more teas if they lived in quarters suitable for such affairs. The one hotel in Washington that is actually giving a tea hour does not appeal to the smartest. Teas at the Chevy Chase club, at the Country club and similar places are also considered disadvantageous. First, the distance is too great, and attendance at them and the return home to change for dinner requires much time. Hostesses in the capital do not deny that teas without men are very insidious. With the presidential approval of this revival of afternoon teas—in fact, with the desire of Mr. Taft to see his assistants and the naval and military officers sparkle a little more in the social firmament—there is no question that the tea will become within the next twelvemonth the most satisfactory and popular social function. They are also comparatively inexpensive, and for this reason many men who cannot afford to give large parties of formal character will have an opportunity to entertain. rose and assumed the attitude that is so familiar to everybody. "He jerked his hand out of his pocket, and pointing it at Cox, but addressing himself to the speaker, Mr. Carlisle of Kentucky, requested to ask a question. Mr. Cox paid no attention to 'Uncle Joe' for several minutes, but the latter was insistent, and finally Speaker Carlisle asked Cox if he would yield the floor for a question. Cox paused for a moment and said: "I will yield to the gentleman from Illinois for a question on one condition. Every time he interrupts he draws forth his hand and points it at me as if he had a pistol, and it frightens me. If the gentleman from Illinois agrees while speaking to keep his hand in his pocket, I will yield the floor for a question.' "Uncle Joe' agreed. But he had not proceeded far when he nervously drew forth his hand and again pointed it directly at Cox. In a moment Cox was on his feet, and, declaring that Cannon had violated his agreement, demanded that Cannon resume his seat. And 'Uncle Joe' had to sit down." should be taken, particularly by the young because it produces energy and develops constancy, and French string beans are said to constitute an ideal diet for poets and artists. White haricot beans should be eaten by intellectual workers, because they restore the nervous system and should, the science holds, be preferred as a strengthening food to any sort of meat and especially beef, Disraeli, Carlyle, Daudet and Ibsen fed on haricot beans. Cauliflower and cabbages are very nourishing, but are not advocated, because they have the drawback of producing vulgarity of character and slowness of perception. The leguminotherapists declare that these vegetables have all the good qualities that are embodied in either meat or eggs without having, however, their inconveniences. A proper and carefully measured vegetarian diet is the treatment suggested by utilizing vegetables for the physical and moral welfare of the human race. The absence of meat, it is held, prevents person from being vicious and bloodthirsty. Role of a Guide such places of interest as usually are pointed out by the regular guides An interesting sight was that of Vice-President Sherman going about Statuary hall and picking out the "whispering stones," upon which the girls were told to stand, while "Sunny Jim" arranged that they should enjoy the echo features of that part of the capitol. The party went into the house of representatives, where Sherman served for more than twenty years, and the notables of that body were pointed out to Miss Taft and her school girl friends. Kennedy has been known for years as the "King of the Capitol Guides," because he is so glib and entertaining. He was told after the vice-president had made his trip about the capitol that Sherman could easily put him out of the guide business if he should engage in that occupation VALUE OF MEAT CHOPPER Through Its Use the Housekeeper Is Enabled to Utilize Leftovers in Appetizing Manner. The meat chopper will soon save more than its cost by enabling one to use cheaper cuts of meat and to utilize leftover meats. Raw beef run through it is a pleasant change from plain steak. It should be well seasoned with salt and pepper before chopping, and should have a little fat mixed in with the lean. Drop the little rolls just as they come from the perforated plate of chopper on a very hot pan, with a little butter. Stir lightly a moment or two and serve quickly on a hot plate. To use remnants of roasts, steak or any nice cooked meat, put them through the chopper and mix with equal measure of bread crumbs; season with salt and pepper. Some persons may like herbs. Moisten with any gravity or stock you may have or with cream, making a little more moist than you would dressing for poultry. Put it in a skillet or thick pan, cover closely with a plate and bake in the oven until well heated. Twenty minutes or half hour is about right. After a few trials, possibly the first time, any one may succeed in making this very nicely. Another favorite way of using meat, especially cooked ham, is to cut it in small pieces, heat lightly and break over it one egg for each person to be served. When the egg begins to set, cut across them and stir carefully, so as to preserve the distinct yellow and white of the eggs. Serve at once. When frying mush dip the slices first in the white of an egg. This makes it crisp. Before pouring hot fruit into a glass dish or jar put it on a wet cloth. This will keep the glass from cracking. To prevent milk from curdling add a good pinch of carbonate of soda to each quart of before putting it on to boil. Take a round piece of cloth, run a rubber in it, and keep over the top of meat chopper; no dust and always ready for use. Paint marks on glass, such as the splashes left by careless workmen on window panes, can be scraped off with a penny dipped in cold water. The white mayonnaise prepared by foreign chefs calls for cream, lemon juice and the white of an egg instead of the oil, vinegar and egg yolks used in the ordinary mayonnaise. When baking apple pie put a teaspoonful or two of strong cold tea in in the filling; also try the same in your apple sauce or baked apples and notice the improved flavor of the apples. Kitchen Table The ordinary kitchen table is too low for tall people to work on. Take four common doorstops which screw into the wainscoting to prevent doors striking the wall, and screw one on to the bottom of each table leg. This raises the table about three inches and makes it much more convenient for the tall person. The doorstops look like finished portions of the legs, are neat and could not be detected as being other than parts of the legs themselves. They can be bought for a few cents and screwed on in five minutes. For Greasy Floors If the floor of the kitchen is stained with grease the spots should be cleaned with a preparation of fuller's earth. Make a good lather of soap and boiling water, stir some fuller's earth into the suds and spread over the stains, leaving the mixture on the boards over night. The next day scour the boards with a strong brush and soap in the usual manner, and the grease will be removed. If one treatment is not sufficient, the application should be repeated.—Home Chat. Swiss Steak. Have your butcher cut a round of steak one inch thick and as much as the number you serve. Season with salt and pepper, pound as much flour into the steak on both sides as is possible to get in. Have your spider hot with fryings in it and put the steak in just a minute to seal over, then turn the same, then turn on water and let cook slowly until tender, adding water as it cooks down in order to have enough for your gravy. Hot Egg and Milk. Egg and milk flavored with a little vanilla extract well shaken and sprinkled over the top with nutmeg is a favorite beverage with some consalves. It is served piping hot with small salted wafers. Well persons are also fond of the drink and prefer substituting sponge cake for the wafers. Meat Dumplings: Beat well three eggs with a little salt. Pour into the beaten eggs $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ cupfuls of beef broth and put into double boiler. Let it cook till stiff; when done take spoon and cut little dumplings and put in soup. Pineapple Fritters. Use plain batter. Cut the fruit in small pieces, cover with sugar for two hours before using, then drain, mix and fry. Roll in sugar and serve with a sweet sauce flavored with pineapple. WORTH KNOWING Simple But Powerful Prescription for Rheumatism and Lame Back. This was previously published here and cured hundreds, "Get one ounce of syrup of Sarsaparilla compound and one ounce Toris Compound. Then get half a pint of good whiskey and put the other two ingredients into it. Use a tablespoonful of this mixture before each meal and at bed time. Shake the bottle each time." Good effects are felt the first day. Any druggist has these ingredients on hand or will quickly get them from his wholesale house. WANTED TO BE ON SAFE SIDE Woman, Twice Deserted, Didn't Mean to Take Any Chances on Her Third Hubby. The officers of the thumb print bureau were just wishing for something interesting to turn up when a telephone message offered timely diversion. A woman was speaking. "Do you make prints of anybody's thumbs except criminals?" she asked. The bureau did. "Well," said the woman, "if I will come down there right away with man will you make a print of his thumbs?" The bureau would. The man and the woman came. "We want his thumb prints for identification," said the woman. "We are going to be married to-morrow. He is my third husband. The other two ran away and I had the hardest kind of a time to find them because there was no sure way of identifying them. They say thumb prints can never change and that a man can be tracked by them to the ends of the earth. I hope I shall never have to use them, but it is just as well to be on the safe side. Will you make them?" HOW A DOCTOR CURED SCALP DISEASE "When I was ten or twelve years old I had a scalp disease, something like scald head, though it wasn't that. I suffered for several months, and most of my hair came out. Finally they had a doctor to see me and he recommended the Cuticura Remedies. They cured me in a few weeks. I have used the Cuticura remedies, also, for a breaking out on my hands and was benefited a great deal. I haven't had any more trouble with the scalp disease. Miss Jessie F. Buchanan, R. F. D. 3, Hamilton, Ga., Jan. 7, 1909." Kent with Barnum's Circus P. T. Barnum, the famous circus man, once wrote: "I have had the Cuticura Remedies among the contents of my medicine chest with my shows for the last three seasons, and I can cheerfully certify that they were very effective in every case which called for their use."

Why She Needed More Nights Off. Having recently engaged an 18-year-old colored girl to do housework, a New York woman was adjusting the various questions of privileges. “You will have Monday and Thursday nights off, Eliza,” the mistress of the house said. “On'l Monday 'n Thursday nights!" the other exclaimed, rolling her eyes. “My Lawd, Mis' Blank, dat won't do nohow; dat ain't enough. You see, ma'am, I'm a debbytante.” Thinking of Garden Time. Bacon—I think much of the man who can make two blades of grass grow where one grew before. Egbert—I've not got my eye on him. I admire the man who can make only one weed grow where a dozen grew before. "Pink Eye" is Epidemic. Attacks the Eyes in the Springtime. Is Contagious and Calls for Immediate Action.

"The appendix is often of great pecuniary benefit to the surgeon who takes it out."—Washington Star. Wished a Vacation. "Ma, what are the folks in our church getting up a subscription for?" "To send our minister on a vacation to Europe this summer." "Won't there be no church services while he's gone?" "No, dear?" "Ma, I got $1.23 in my bank. Can I give that?"—Cleveland Leader. "Ever been locked up?" demanded counsel. "I have been," admitted the witness. "Aha! And what had you been doing to get yourself locked up?" "I had been doing jury duty."—Pittsburg Post. The Truth.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street J On the left is a long coat of gray cloth, trimmed with darker shade of braid—black velvet toque with gray, green and black aigrette. The second is a blue serge tailored suit, with collar and buttons of black satin, large black hat, with blue plumes. Hat with High Gathered Crown Most Elaborately and Becomingly Trimmed. Among the early spring models is a comfortable hat, becoming and well fitting, made with a high gathered crown held out with an inner one of book muslin, and a fluted brim of soft moire. This does not hang around the face, but is made double and has enough thickness to hold it in position. About the high crown is tied a wide scarf of soft satin ribbon. When black is used for the hat then one of the new light blues is used for the scarf. Silver and gold gauze are also tied around instead of ribbon and end in a fine careless bow in front. The expensive models show this hat with a crown of lace moire shot with blue, pink, and green and lined with chiffon or gauze to match the color of the scarf. COAT FOR MATRCN. This is made in black face cloth, and is a simple sacque shape, a style which matrons always find so useful. The loose bishop sleeve is set to a turn-back cuff of cloth, braided lightly at the edge, the collar being braided to match. Bonnet of black crinoline trimmed with ostrich tips and black satin ribbon. Materials required: Three yards cloth 48 inches wide, 1 dozen yards braid. Keeping Faucets Bright. In the bathroom the nickel faucets can be kept bright as new indefinitely if frequently washed and given a brisk rub daily when the room is set in order. A clean cheesecloth duster serves this purpose specially well. Mistake Made in Carrying the Fashion of the Moment to Undue Length. A grave protest should be made against the skirt that is narrow at its best and tied in just above the ankles at its worst. It should be condemned and discarded by every woman who considers personal comfort and a graceful appearance. There is an independent quality of American women that refuses to walk with knees pressed together and a hampered Japanese manner of taking tiny steps. After all, there is a great artistic delight in a flowing skirt that follows in soft, sinuous lines the motions of the figures. In Paris and London women have accepted the inhibition of easy, graceful motion, but it is to be hoped that our fair ones will in some usual and clever way attain the best of these suggestions and at the same time keep the senseless tyranny at arm's length. Of Craft Cloth. The portiere may be mere play and altogether possible to the verlest amateur if some simple idea be carried out. Make it of arts and crafts cloth in a soft, natural tone, and after it is hemmed with silk to match it work a row of simple trees one above another down the length of the hanging along one of its selvages. Not in elaborate embroidery, but in the coarsest of cross-stitching done in worsted yarn, and in a combination of dusky green and blue shades, each so dull as to melt into one another. Again, if a one-toned curtain be desirable, choose an Indian red, dull brown or blue, and using the coarse worsted yarn, hemstitch a broad hem along a very open line which you have drawn, or overcast the hem in coarse hemming stitches a quarter of an inch in length. Necessary Gowns A modiste claims that three dresses a season are sufficient for the average woman, citing the ever useful tailor-made, a calling gown for afternoon wear and decollette for evening wear. This might do in a case of necessity, but no society woman can get along with one evening dress for an entire season any more than she can get along with one pair of gloves. A woman moving in a circle of well-dressed women must dress equally well or else step down and out. Her dress must be good, stylish and noticeable. Dress does not make the woman, but it most assuredly does make her place in circles where stylish attire is more important than many other things. Fine Idea. One embosses one's own letter paper now, the neat raised monogram being pressed into the paper by means of a celluloid tablet and a little roller. Any combination of three letters may be obtained in the celluloid, and it is the matter of a few moments to emboss a whole quire of writing paper. BURNING THE TRASH BEST DISPOSITION THAT CAN BE MADE OF REFUSE. Means a Saving of Money and Is the Quickest Way of Getting Rid of It—Ashes to Make Walks and Repair Roads. A woman who lives in the country will find she can save a great many pennies by regulating household trash, ashes, etc. Trash, for instance, is an expense in the country, because the householder pays for having it carted away. Therefore her economy comes in having inflammable stuff burned on the premises. And as dry trash is easily three-fourths of the refuse, she saves just that much on cartage. To hold trash there should be barrels and a firm mandate issued by the head of the home that old tins, bottles and everything non-burnable must be put into them. In the other barrel papers, rags, etc., that usually fill the household scrap baskets must be placed. One particular spot on the place should be reserved for the holocaust. It will be a black and unsightly spot and for that reason a retired look should be chosen. If there is none the drive may be used, for after the fire is out the gravel may be raked over, so in a day or two all traces of the fire are obliterated. Whether or not there is a regular day for burning depends upon the housekeeper's own routine. If a man comes once a week to clean the grounds he should attend to the bonfire. As for ashes, unless they are very coarse they make excellent walks in the country. It is advisable to have them sifted first, as some may be burned later, thereby reducing the coal bill. Those left are cinders that will pack down hard and smooth and save buying gravel for walks and drives. In this way a whole path may be made of ashes with a thin top layer of gravel. This is a tip for persons building bouncy homes on limited incomes. They, as none others, know that the financial demands of the grounds are endless and this is one way in which money may be saved. If one does not require ashes for the grounds there are always country roads in need of repair, where they may be put. For instance, deep holes may be filled with the cinders, or they may be distributed evenly along the wayside. Selectmen have no objection to this, if the ashes are properly placed, and many a dollar may be saved. Walnut Fritters. Put a small cup of milk and one half ounce of butter in a saucepan on the fire. When it boils add three ounces of dried and browned bread crumbs and a little dredging of flour. Let it cook until it no longer adheres to the pan, and remove from the fire. When it is cool add two eggs, beating until smooth, a large tablespoonful of shelled walnuts (previously run through the nut mill), seasoning, and a little grated onion juice. Mix well and shape into cakes about one half inch thick on a floured board. Roll in flour or eggs and bread crumbs, and fry. Serve with walnut gravy, or round a dish of grilled tomatoes. Lentil Cutlets Take a teacup of Egyptian lentils; boil them in water sufficient to cover them until tender. Add three grated onions, some chopped parsley and thyme, and enough bread crumbs to make a stiff mixture. Turn on two large plates and flatten with a knife. Then cut into light triangular sections and shape them like small cutlets. When cold, fry crisp in egg and bread crumbs after inserting small pieces of macaroni into each pointed end. Serve with mint sauce or to mato sauce. Fluat. One pint of milk, yolks of two eggs, one scant cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, one-half teaspoonful of vanilla, one tablespoonful of cornstarch wet with part of the milk; mix together and cool until thickens; beat the whites of the eggs until stiff with two teaspoonfuls of confectioner's sugar; place pan of hot water in the oven and put five spoonfuls of meringue on top of the water; brown slightly; serve in sherbet glasses with meringue on top. Creole Beans. Boil one pint of red kidney beans; add celerity or parsley, minced fine with two small onions. Salt to taste and spinkle freely with both black and red pepper. Cook till well done, then add two cupfuls of rice and enough water to cover. Boil 20 minutes, keeping the pot lid slightly off to allow the escape of steam. Season with outer or ham drippings and serve very hot. Stuffed Onions. Boil several large onions; when cooled cut out the hearts. Stuff with any kind of chopped meat, highly seasoned. To each pint of meat add one egg and two-thirds of a cupful of milk or cream. When the onions are filled place a small piece of butter on each. Cover with crumbs and bake an hour. Serve with cream sauce. Milk Toast. Have you ever made milk toast from brown bread? It is delicious and a pleasant change. Whole wheat bread is also excellent toasted.
