College Course in Politics College Course in Politics To Columbia university belongs the credit of offering the first course designed to give students a practical knowledge of the conduct of political affairs. That institution has asked the bureau of municipal research in New York to give the members in the class the benefit of the experience it has derived from the city of the airs of that city, and the invitation has been accepted. The growing demand for the adoption of the scientific method of city governments ends support to the view that college men will be in demand in this department of the public service, hence the propriety and耐寒ness of a university course established on the lines indicated by the innovation at Colum Haltlana a Lazy Lot Sydney Brooks, writing to the London Chronicle about Halft, says the Haitians were the first people in the world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. C. R. Miller, writing in Leslie's Weekly, says of Halft: "In that little republic, covering about 10,000" square miles, within five days' sail of New York, one may encounter more strange complications and a greater disregard for human life than in the remote countries of the east. Situated in the very heart of the West Indies, where civilization exists in a high degree, Halft alone has kept her doors closed to progress. She became an independent state more than 100 years ago. Her rich lands were already under cultivation, but the lazy natives allowed the plantations to go to ruin, and forsets have grown up instead." Farm Employment for Criminals. Gov. Harris of Ohio believes that criminals can be employed on a farm with advantage to themselves and the state. He proposes that prisoners in the penitentiary who are not con-firmed criminals be transferred to the reformatory and put to work on the state farm. "It is the conditions of our cities that breed crime," says the governor. "Most of it can be traced to idleness and drink, and idleness is frequently the cause of drink. There is little drink in the country and practically no idleness. If the young man who had slipped over the bounds of a law were taught scientific farming he would come to like it and escape the associates who carry him down when he returns to the city." Milk an Intoxicant New York City alone consumes annually 840,000 quarts of milk. We drink 2,300,000 quarts a day. And this does not include mother's milk for infants; just cows' milk—watered and unwatered, for both infants and adults. "Milk," says Emerson. "it is readily made intoxicating in warm climates simply by agitation. This feature was quickly discovered," being placed in a skin and slung from the shoulder or over the back. It was agitated by the motion of the hunter, and cornealization was soon well under way. The skin was undoubtedly none too clean, some milk of the previous day being left in it, which would not act as a displaceronexa A good remedy for sleeplessness is to wet a towel and apply to the back of the neck, pressing it hard up against the base of the brain and fastening over this cloth to prevent too rapid evaporation. The effect will be prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet and peaceful slumber. Warm water is better than cold for the purpose. This remedy will prove useful to people suffering from overwork, excitement or anxiety. AFRU-AMERIGAN CULLINGS Booker T. Washington, in a letter Yo the Negro people, makes these timely suggestions: “There are 1,400,000 colored famtl es who lve on farms or in villages, ‘or small towns. Of this number, at ‘the present” time, 700,000 have no Digs. T want to aak that each family alee at Teast one pig thie fall.

If each family adda only ‘one pig, in a few months at the pres -ent prices for hogs, $10 would be adé- 4 to the wealth of the owner, and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the col ‘ered people. If each family adds two piga, it would have in a few months $20" more wealth, and $26,000,000 Would be added with which to pro- mote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European war.” ‘The “pig club” idea is one that the Negroes of the South should embrace. “At this time all farmers of the South ‘are discussing the problem which an ‘enforced reduction of the cotton area has precipitated, and it ts generally ‘agreed tbat hogs and the feed crops necessary to maintain them will be the most profitable substitute for cot ton, There I no doubt that! the white farmers will as for as possible pay more attention to hogs hereafter than they ever hive before, and the Negro farmers are just as much inter ested in the hog question as others ‘The Negro farmers have made much progress during the past quar ter of a century, but they have usual Ty suffered from the same causes Which have impoverished the white farmers, the chiet of which is the fall ure to raise on the farm what is con sumed at the farm table. Out of the Present dilemma the South ought tc emerge the greatest meat producing region of the world, and this ob jective will certainly bo reached if the 1,400,000 Negro families take Wash fagton’s advice and organize pig clubs im every village and farm community. ‘The South will have all her agricul tural’ problems pretty well settles when the southern farmers “live a ome.” It will be the most prosper ‘ous region of the United States, ané ‘We shall soon see the end of the ten ant system, the credit system and al the old systema which have Kept many thousands impoverished—Hous toa Post. ‘Mrs. C.

CANDIES TO FOLLOW FEAST Confections That Are Sure to Please + If Care Ie Taken in Cooking ‘and Mixing. (By MARTHA ELLEN PERRYMAN.) First there are some hints it will be ‘well to observe it you hope for good fortune In candy-making: Granulated sugar Is preferable, and always used ‘unless some other kind is specified. ‘Candy should not be stirred while boll fng. Cream of tartar should not be ‘added until the sirup begins to boll ‘and butter should be put in when the candy is nearly done. Flavors are mont delicate when not bolled with the candy, but added when it is taken from the’ fire, or when it is being pullea. Butter Taffy—Boll three cupfuls of brown sugar, one-half cupful of molas- ses, and onefourth cupful each of vinegar and hot water. When the ‘candy will crisp in cold water add two teaspoonfuls of butter, cook three minutes, flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla and’coo! in buttered pans. Hlckory-Nut Candy—Boll two cup- fuls of sugar and onexhalf cupful of water without stirring until the sirup will “spin a thread” when poured from the spoon, Flavor with extract of lemon or vanilla, set off {nto cold wa- ter, stir in one cupful of hickory-nut meats, then Into fat tins, and when cool cut in small squares. Peppermints—Boll two cupfuls of sugar and one cupful of water without stirring until the sirup threads from the spoon. Remove from the fire and beat with an egg-whip until white and creamy, flavor with one-half teaspoon: ful of essence of peppermints (less if you do not like it so strong) and drop In waters on waxed paper to harden. You can make chocolate peppermints by dipping the cream into melted chocolate. Wintergreen, lemon, or- ange and other flavors may be used for the mints, ‘These candies are all easily made and you will find it a pleasant pastime to prepare at home the candies for the ‘Phankegiving feast. ‘One Way to Clean Rugs.

GRAY, M.D. (Copyright, 1914, by A. S. Gray) SIGNIFICANCE OF DECAYED TEETH. A tooth is a calcified papilla of the mucous membrane. The first evidence of the development of the teeth is to be-found in a thickening of the mouth, epithelium (mucous membrane) at the site of the future gum and a resulting downward growth of its deeper portion into the substance of the primitive jaw. This epithelial downward growth is continued along the whole length of the gum and is known as the dental amalgam tooth. The thickness of the epithelium, which is the first sign of the future teeth, begins about the sixth week of foal life, and the entire dental lamina, or tooth band, is completed by the end of the seventh week. The development of all the temporary and, with the exception of the eight back molars, also all of the permanent teeth, commences at an early period in intraterine life. We have thirty-two permanent teeth and the first of these to erupt are the four first molars, which appear during or soon after the sixth year. These first permanent teeth come out behind the second milk molars without displacing any of the temporary teeth. During the seventh year the central milk incisors fall out and their place is taken by permanent ones. These shed teeth are mere shells of the crown of the teeth, all the roots having been absorbed. The lateral incisors succeed their milk predecessors in about the eighth year; the first premolars succeed the first milk molars at about nine years; the second premolars succeed the second milk molars at about the tenth year: the canines follow in the eleventh and the second permanent molars come in behind the first at about the twelfth year, and finally the third molars, or what are generally known as the wisdom teeth, the foundations of which we have noted were laid in about the fifth year of life, erupt somewhere between the eighteenth and twentieth years. Tooth enamel is formed chiefly of calcium phosphate, with small amounts of calcium carbonate, magnesium phosphate and calcium fluoride. The dentine is of the same composition as the enamel, but contains in addition a good deal of organic matter. Worldwide investigations prove that there is a material difference in the average quality of the teeth of primitive and civilized peoples. United States senate document No. 419 states, for example, that "statistically the teeth of Americans are ten times as bad as those of the igorotes, while the civilized Filipinos have teeth as bad as those of the Americans", and for the purpose of pointing out how bad American teeth are, the United States bureau of education bulletin No. 24 that says: "Of our 20,000,000 children enrolled, over 10,000,000 (50 per cent, and in some schools as high as 88 per cent) have defective teeth, which are potentially, if not actually, detrimental to health." It is definitely proved that the belief that certain foods nourish specific parts or organs of the body and that by the use of these foods it is possible to stimulate the growth or functioning of certain organs is false. There is no such thing as a brain food, or a muscle food, or a bone food. Fish, for instance, is commonly reputed to be a brain food; but no more a brain food than beef, cabbage, and when fish is eaten the toe nails and the finger nails, the hair and all other parts and tissues of the body share in the resulting nutritive matter in common wi' the brain, each part according to its particular needs. Plants and animals in general are made up of various groupings of some sixteen or more elements, and so long as we eat these plants and animals we are in natural combinations we thrive. Our digestive organs are adapted to and therefore have the power to select from these molecular arrangements such elements as are required and in the amounts necessary to construct and maintain our bodies in normal health and to transform the energy associated therewith to our physical needs. But the course of the preparation of foodstuff constituent of our meals is for some reason it becomes impossible to secure a sufficient supply of food material and our Marmed Oversee Water Supply Alarmed Over Water Adequate water supplies is the subject of a policy regarding the attention of a number of local authorities in Ulster cities and towns. The amount of water in storage reservoirs is at present considerably below the amount at the same period last year, and there is a grave risk of the supply short should there be a prolonged period of dry. Already the water commissioners have warned the citizens to waste water as little as possible. In Dungannon a limited supply of water is only allowed to the townpeople, and there have been complaints made to the urban district that this is not sufficient to enable the sewer to be cleaned. It is wisely decided to allow the full water supply every Saturday, as the town commissioners no doubt wish to avoid the risk of ever epidemics. Good Idea for Humidor A Philadelphia is the patentee of a cigar box with a thin humidor along one side so that each cigar it contains will absorb the same amount of heat. nutritive balance is thereby disturbed, then obviously the entire body must also share, in and suffer from the lack of necessary material, no single part more or less than another. Hence it is that decayed teeth in children under fifteen of age is absolute proof that their entire physical economy is deficient. Weak, quickly decaying teeth, shortened jawbones, contracted pelvic bones, anaemia and a long line of correlated ills have a common cause, removed if we would only awake to the truth and the need for action. WHY TEETH DECAY. Caries, or decay of the teeth, is the most prevalent disease known to man. Dr. Marshall asserts that in a practice both civil and military of more than forty years in which he examined many thousands of mouths he has met but four persons who, having reached adult life, were free from every form of dental or oral disease. Decay of the牙 teeth seems to be pre-eminently a result of higher civilization, as it most often is among those nations which are recognized as having the highest culture. Tomes reports having examined the mouth of 3,368 English boys and girls at the Hanwell and Sutton schools and at the Exmouth training ship. These boys and girls ranged from three and one-half to seventeen years of age. Of all those examined 77 per cent were affected with decay of the teeth. "Two hundred and five children belonging to high class schools did not compare with those placed." Cunningham found that in 10,517 pupils of the age of twelve years in English and Scotch schools 85.8 per cent had dental decay. "The statistics lately compiled of children six to fourteen and youths twenty to twenty-three years of age in Germany by the recommendation of Rose, are no less immeable," says the same investigator. We are in the midst of a strong movement for conservation; waste and loss are measured and carefully considered from every point of view and the gospel of efficiency is being preached in and to every line of business. All this effort will be lost unless men and women as good and competent as those now being standardized are raised to success to present workers. Obviously this is not being done, because the available evidence appears to prove that the teeth of the next generation seem to be inferior to those of their immediate ancestors, while the children of today have, as a rule, even a greater predisposition to dental diseases than their parents. Decay of the teeth is a symptom of body impoverishment, evidence of the lack of that element or elements in the body juices and tissues which enable the individual to resist the attack of micro-organisms, be the effect of tooth decay or other disease. The authorities are agreed that the teeth is caused by the agent acting from the tooth. "It is something extraneous to the teeth acting upon the surface in the beginning and penetrating little by little into its substance." The medical profession has given careful attention to practically every organ of the body except the mouth. Here we have an open, moist and warm cavity approximately twenty three square inches in area, not including the tongue and tonsils, kinging an ideal incubator. The investigations of Millek, Blink, Robin, Goodby, Vicenct, and Millek show that our teeth at various times and under varying conditions contain more than 100 different species of micro-organisms. Tests show that these organisms will be found in the mouth of practically everybody. They are as numerous in the mouths of those who pass into old age without ever having had a decayed tooth, and they grow as abundantly in the mouths of those whose teeth have the strongest tendency to decay. Tests also prove that lives from these healthy teeth to be as acid as that from the mouths predisposed to disease and cultures taken from them help bacteria of the same character and virulence as cultures taken from the mouth of one whose teeth are most susceptible to decay. The difference between decay and soundness is one of personal resistance, assisted by cleanliness. This is proved by the fact that a sound set of teeth at the years or beyond will frequently disintegrate and decay, an attack of some fever and, in certain acuvine acute disease and that lactation frequently if the mother one or more lifespan. If the is not very carefully cared and her vitality guarded. The rapid increase in tooth decay simply means that nature is overtaxed and unable to balance accounts. She is unable to manufacture resistant sues out of lifeless materials less we intelligently operate we shall be unable to penalize the penalty for our inability by rearing a race of weaklings for future citizenship. He Feared the Coffin. Moving-picture promoters in China are having troubles of their own in getting Chinese actors to take part in film plays. In the coast ports the moving picture shows are making headway, but in the interior of China there is still a vast untouched field, which the moving-picture men hope to tap by getting the Chinese educated to the idea of film shows. An American producing company worked for two months recently with some Chinese actors at Hangzong on a Chinese story. The main difficulty was that the leading man strongly objected to being placed in a coffin, which was necessary in the development of the plot. Finally the Chinese star consented to get into the coffin. He was amazed by himself alive after his adventure, and thereupon proceeded to laugh in expression of his joy, whereby he ruined the film in its most tragic part. But then, those navies and vast armies must be made use of, we suppose. MAKE 'REEL' APPEAL Suffragists Use Moving Pictures to Make Votes. Olive Wyndham the Principal in Drama, "Your Girl and Mine," Backed by National American Woman Suffrage Association. A gigantic eight-reel "movie" showing man as a natural villain, if not a dogman, is to be used by suffragists to present arguments in favor of votes for women. "Your Girl and Mine" is the title of the scenario, which the promoters declare is a metrama and thriller not seen since the days when Theodore Kramer staged heart-failure slides for life that held the galleries tense for hours. The National American Woman Suffrage association has staged the thriller. The production will be under the ALEXANDRA Olive Wyndham. auspices of Mrs Millill McCormick as chairman of the congressional committee of the N. A. W. S. A. The films will be sent into every state in the Union. The plot of the scenario is based on a wife's troubles due to the conflict of man-made laws with woman's interest. The films will bring to light women are fighting for the ballot because their economic and social interest demands that they share in government, and not merely because they want to vote for the sake of voting. Principal parts will be played by Miss Olive Wyndham, Miss Katherine Kaelred, Sidney Booth and John The campaign committee under whose auspices the play is to appear includes Mrs. McCormick, Miss Jane Addams and Mrs. Antonelle Funk of Chicago, Mrs. Sherman Botoh of Glencoe, Mrs. Mary C. Bradford, Denver; Mrs. Helen Gardener, Denver; Mrs. Robert Bridge of Lexington; Mrs. John Tucker, San Francisco, and Mrs. Edward Dreier of Brooklyn. Begnet in Rural Dram King Baggot in *Hurricane* "The Silent Valley," a two-tier feature recently released and featuring a role ultra-rural, proved such a success and so diverting that the company has decided to release several other film dramas, disclosing Mr. Baggot in the rough and read. "The Mill Stream," a two-tier feature, will be the next along this line. Most of the sit'ings for it were laid at Smithtown, Long Island, where Mr. Baggot, with his company, been motorized. It is a show of the drama of the elemental, showing this actor in a role of original qualities. Charles Lessey is the director of the piece. WILL Fight for Great Britain Donald Crisp is trying to England to assist his countrymen in the war against Germany and Austria. Crisp fought throughout the Boer war. He joined the British forces as a private, and was made color sergeant for bravery. He was wounded three times in his service of more than two years in South Africa. Crisp expects to be called to the service and is moment and has notified D. W. Hill, director-in-chief for D. W. Hill, Maltese and Majestic companies, that he is likely to leave for England soon. He has sold his new racing car and is closing up his business affairs preparatory to going home. Step 1 Children's Favorite Edna Malson of the Universal company, who is such a favorite with children, has two big dolls and a Teddy bear, hanging in her room They are now entirely new and Edna is a big girl for dolls now, but they were all presented to her by small girls who were happy in the giving. The little girl who presented the Teddy bear drops in occasionally and says: "May I borrow your Teddy bear to play with?" Why the Movies Are Popular Physicians say that one of the greatest factors making for the popularity of the movies is deafness. Only the sense of vision is called into requisition. It is a grateful form of entertainment that allows the movie to be very, very, very, and there are an enormous number of people who suffer from slight degrees of deafness. Stella Razeto In Star Part. Edward J. Le Saint, the Selg producer, is putting on "Ashes of Gold" with Stella Razetto in the part of a young girl who loses her mind and is finally brought back to reason by her lover in a novel manner. Miss Razetto is supported by Guy Oliver, Jack Macdonald and others. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER WITH THE SAVOR OF THE SEA Moving Picture Drama, "When His Ship Came In" Has scored a Deserved Success. Featuring two of the stars of their studio, Bessie Eyton and Thomas Sanscht, the Selig company has just put on a drama which has "caught on" wherever shown. Briefly the story is as follows: Nopotima a vivacious, beautiful girl, lives in the fishing village of Home-Port with her aged grandfather; old Captain Melody. She hates the sorrowful life of poverty and petulantly declares that she will leave the village if opportunity presents itself, and try her fortunes in the neighboring big city. A Josh Rawlinis is a sailor on board t he schooner, "Maid of t the Mist," owned by his uncle, a crabbed old sea captain. He is repulsed by neptunia, his sweet heart, who has deceived him with disposition, since he went away. She tells him she is sick and tired of life in the fishing is sick and tired of *Bessie Eyton*. life in the fishing village, but that she will marry him in the ocean. A short time after this Neptune, while strolling on the beach, discovers a discarded vest washed up by the waves. In it is a $6.00 bill. Hastening to the house she steals silently in, writes a brief note of farewell to Josh and makes her way swiftly to the railroad station. When Josh discovers the note and reads it, he finds that she has directed him not to seek for her "until your ship comes in." Neptune works in a laundry, but her inexperience and lack of skill soon causes her her position. On occasion and without friends, Neptune wanders instinctively to the wharfs where she discovers the schooner "Maid of the Mist" all ready to sail. She steals aboard and conceals herself. Alarmed by a smell of smoke from the hold where the gunpowder is stored, the sailors embark hastily in two small boats and row rapidly away from the vessel, as they expect her to blow up at any moment. A. Neptuna is almost overcome by the smoke, but her good fortune has not forsaken her. The schooler having broached to, and with all sails set because of no hand at the Thomas Santeschi, sails set, because of no hand at the wheel, is overwhelmed by an enormous wave which bursts through the openatches and puts out the fire. Neptuna brings the ship on the shore to Hanna-Host and remains at the helm for twenty-four hours. She is sighted from the shore by Josh and her grandfather who immediately put in a boat to meet the vessel. They find Neptuna unconscious at her post of duty, but she is easily revived. She brought Josh's ship in herself and thereby furnished her own wedding dowry. Thus were the lovers happily reunited. Honor Popular Star While spending a week end with relatives at Lake Hopatcong recently, Miss Neebitt, leading woman, was given a royal reception by many of the natives and vacationists. When it was ascertained that Miss Neebitt would visit Hopatcong on a brief visit, the dance formulated for a reception and dance to be given at one of the principal hotels in her honor. Upon her arrival at the lake, Miss Neebitt unreluctantly accepted an invitation to attend the dance. Not anticipating any celebration or demonstration, she was astounded when her screeching voice was decorated ballroom and showed her with congratulations for the delightful characterizations she has displayed in the films. Production Should Make Hit Ed J. Le Saint, the Selig producer, is putting on a particularly pleasing one rheeler entitled "One Traveler Returns," in which Stella Razeto takes the part of a minister's daughter, a delightful character. The plot hinges around a young man who marries a parson's daughter and who has previously had dealings with another woman. The manner in which the latter plans revenge and how her spirit prevents the consummation is novel and absorbing. Lamar Johnstone plays the lead, Jack Macdonald an old lawyer, and Adda Gleason the other woman. Educational Feature In Film. "The Locked Door," a coming feature, will have points of interest to municipalities, be a picture that brings out the violations of fire laws and suggesting a remedy. Vigilagraph players assume the principal characters, but are supplemented by representatives from the fire and police departments of Greater New York, among them seven of the city's fire. The script was written-by Special Fire Investigator William B. North- War Picture Series.

To the water add one cup of sugar, grated rind of one lemon and juice of one orange; simmer until reduced to one cup. Cool and pour over the apples. Serve with cream sauce as follows: Cream Sauce—Beat the white of one egg and well beaten yolk of one egg and gradually add one cupful of powdered sugar. Beat one-half cupful of thick cream and one-fourth cupful of milk until stiff, combine the mixture and add one-half teaspoonful of vanilla. Brown Betty.—1. One cupful of bread crumbs, eight siliced apples, one-half cupful of molasses, one-half cupful of cold water; butter a baking dish, put a layer of crumbs, then a layer of apples, sprinkles with cinnamon and sugar and dot with bits of butter; repeat until the dish is full; insert a knife in several places and pour in the water and molasses.

Bake in a moderate oven until brown, and serve with plain or whipped cream. Canned Rolled Cider I can my cider for fruit cake and mincemeat, shortly after it is made and before fermentation takes place, says a correspondent of the Cleveland Leader. Place five quarts of sweet cider in a kettle, boil slowly until reduced to one quart, watch carefully it that it does not burn. Can the same as fruit. One gill of this added to a fruit cake makes it more moist and is far superior to cake made without it. You can have sweet cake to drink from one season to another by placing cider in a kettle, letting it come to a boil. Have jars sterilized and can. Close Save With Reseched clear soup Pour of soup stock over the fire and when lukewarm stir in the white of a raw egg. Bring quickly to the boll, stirring all the time. As soon as it bubbles, take from the fire, pour in a little very cold water and let it stand for three minutes. Then slowly pour off the dregs through a flannel bag or a double cloth. Let it drip as you would jelly. When all has dripped, pour it to the fire. Now neatly pouach as many eggs as there will be people at table, and when the hot soup is in the tursen slip these carefully into it. Bressed Flank of Beef Wipe, remove superfluous fat and roll a fank of beef; put in a kettle, cover with boiling water and add one tablespoonful salt, one half teaspoonful peppercorns, a bit of leaf and a bone or two which may be at hand; cook slowly until meat is in shreds. There should be but little liquor in the kettle when meat is done. Arrange meat in deep pan, pour over liquor, cover and press with a heavy weight. Serve cold, thinly sliced. Rusty Needles. If you are bothered by your sewing needles becoming rusty, you will find very probably that your needlebook and not the needles is the cause. It is a mistake to use flannel leaves, which are not good for the steel. Therefore, make needlebook leaves of linen or chamois skin and the needles will stay-bright. Eggs Tivoll. Take out the inside of half a loaf of bread. Toast the crust and fill cavity with chicken or corned beef hash. Over this break a fresh egg and then cover with white sauce and grated bread crumbs. Brown in the oven. Refining Lard: Put the lard into a basin and pour boiling water over it. Allow to get cold, then pour off the water and repeat the process three times. The lard can then be used for making cold The KITCHEN CABINET "Recent achievements have done much for modern science, alleviating toll and discomfort in many branches of labor, but no branch of industry has been more revolutionized than that of cooking, by the fireless cooking method." Another strides which the fireless cooking has made in developing power in the fact that a demand is made up of the executive sense which is so often neglected by housekeepers in general. fourth of a cupful of cream whipped and powdered sugar to taste. Use of brown or white bread. Pimente and Cheese.—Chop a can of red peppers, mix with the liquor from the can, add the yolks of two hard cooked eggs, and one cream cheese creamed. Porm into balls and roll it browned cracker crumbs which have been crieped in the oven. Serve with the salad course. BEETS BAKED AND BOILED. It would almost seem that there was nothing to say that has not been bet- seem that there was at not has been better, said about it, we are always some now thought to add each one's knowledge even about beets. # 床 As a garnish they are especially fine if not used in combination with some clashing color like carrot, for example. With the white of potato or the green of peas of cucumber, they are exceedingly agreeable to the eye. For a simple meat relish this try: Boll and mash fish a few beets, season with salt and pepper with a generous amount of butter, then add grated horseradish to suit the palate, with a little lemon juice or vinegar to give it pluancy. Beets should be carefully washed not to break the skin, and then boil them tender in salt water. The skins on the beets are dropped in cold water, then they may be treated as one's taste dictates. Beet Relish.—To one quart of cooked chopped beets add one quart of chopped cabbage, two cupfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of pepper, a half teaspoonful of cayenne, one cupful of grated, fresh horseradish, and vinegar to make it of the consistency to use as a sauce. Can cold. This will keep all winter and is very good. Beet and Rhubarb Jelly.—Mesure equal quantities of new beets and rhubarb, cook until tender in as little water as possible, as the rhubarb is very jelly, mash and strain through a sieve, when tender, then drain in aolly large quantities of ice and allow the mass of jelly. Cook the juice ten minutes before adding the sugar heated, when it jellies on a cold plate pour into molds and chill. This old-fashioned preserve is especially good with meats. --- No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world's being better for it, without somebody's being helped and comforted by the love of that goodness—Phillipa Brooks. TEMPTING SALADS AND SAND WICHES. One of the perplexing things which disturb a hostess, is what she shall serve for food and drink at little informal gatherings. There are many salads which may take the place of the well liked chicken salad at much less cost. Chicken salad is often combined with veal using a third as much veal per pound as chicken. at little informal gather-erings. There are many salads which may take the place of the well liked chicken salad at much less cost. Chicken salad however may be combined with veal using a third as much veal per pound as chicken, cooking it together it will all be flavored with chicken and prove quite a little cheaper, especially when serving a large company. Nippon Salad.—To one cupul of crab meat add one dozen stuffed olives chopped, two cupul of colery, add French dressing marinate and serve with mayonnaise dressing, garnish with pickles and capers. Sandwiches.—Savory butter sandwiches are made by creaming a cupul of butter, add a teaspoonful of made mustard, the hard cooked yolks of two eggs, a teaspoonful of anchovy paste, all well mixed together and spread on bread. A half cupful of nuts and a cupful of chopped raisins moistened with orange juice and used for a sandwich filling is excellent. If there are any pieces left in shaping the sandwiches they are used for a delicious bread pudding. Salted chestnuts are good to serve at any season when they may be pried. Blanch them and cooked water until tender.rain and cook fifteen minutes, tablespoonful of olive oil, sprinkle generous with salt and use a dash of cayenne. Coconut Sandwiches. — Add to a cupful of coconut a teaspoonful of lemon juice, a cupful of walnuts, a Uces of the Chin. The newest theory regarding the chin and the one which seems the most reasonable yet advanced is that the chin is purely and simply a factor in the mechanical force exerted by our lower jaw in chewing our food, and in speech. According to this theory the chin is situated at the outer end of the jaw lever, where the momentum is greatest, and is made up of a heavy body of bone and flesh in order that it may help give greater force to the law's motion. Refreshing Drink: A teaspoonful of black currant jelly dissolved in a glass of cold water makes a delicious and refreshing drink for a patient in a sick room, or on hot days to serve as a family beverage in place of tea or coffee. Black currant jelly dissolved in hot water is very soothing to a sore throat. Braise Usually Short Lived. Praise Usually Short Lives. How many, lauded in some cases, are short lives and how many we唱 using their praises are clean gone long ago—Marcus Aurelius. fourth of a cupful of cream whipped and powdered sugar to taste. Use on brown or white bread. Pimente and Cheese—Chop a can of red peppers, mix with the liquor from the can, add the yolks of two hard cooked eggs, and one cream cheese, creamed. Form into balls and roll in browned cracker crumbs which have been crieped in the oven. Serve with the salad course. If a man find himself with bread in both hands, he should exchange one loaf for some flowers of the narcissus, since the loaf feeds the body indeed, but the flowers feed the soul—Maboach. THE THANKSGIVING BERRY. Tradition tells us that the wild Capra Cod cranberry accompanied the first Thanksgiving feast of wild turkey and venison, so we naturally feel that the feast is inocent and we don't berries which graced our Pilgrim mothers' tra of wild turkey and venison, so we naturally feel that the feast is incomplete without the berries which graced our Pilgrim mothers. Our early mothers taught why they served diced fruit with meat, but they knew they tasted good and that was then enough for them. Cranberries contain an acid which is said to be especially good for billowness, and after some of our Thanksgiving feasts no doubt they will get in good work with very little credit. Can freely after typhoid fever they are said to clear the system. Care should be taken when cooking this acid berry not to use any tin utensil. Good Cranberry Jelly.—Put through the meat chopper, after washing and picking out all the soft berries. Put over the heat in a granite saucepan, using a cupful of water to a quart of berries. When partly cooked add the sugar, as it takes less heat than the sugar is added at once. Cook slowly until thick. This way the jelly does not need put through a sieve. Baked Cranberries.—Choose a wide, flat earthen dish large enough to allow a pint of berries to lie on the bottom. Pour over them a sip made with two cupfuls of sugar and a cupful of water. Place in a slow oven and bake until done. Take from the fire cold, which will be coated with jelly, and when plied in a pretty glass dish look like candied cherries. The buds may blow and the fruit may grow. And the autumn leaves drop crisp and save. But whether the sun, or the rain, or the snow, There is ever a song somewhere, my dear. James Whitcomb Riley. GOOD THINGS TO EAT. Having a half cupful of grape juice left over it was added to a cupful of raisins, a tablespoon of flour and a table-spoonful of butter put into a rich crust and bake making a delicious raisin pie with a new flavor. Chop it raisins and add a half cupful of sugar with the grape juice, slimmer with the flour and bake the falsins, tallowable flour, four ounces of butter put into a rich crust and baked, making a most delicious raisin pie with a new flavor. Chop raisins and add a half cupful of sugar with the grape juice, simmer with the flour and bake the shell first if so desired covering with whipped cream when ready to serve. Empress Cream. — Soften a tablespoonful of gelatin in a quarter of a cupful of cold water, add a quarter of a cupful of hot milk, a half cupful of sugar, and the softened gelatin. Strain into a dish and set in cold water. Beat as it begins to thicken and when light fold in the stiff beaten of one egg, a new tablespoonful of lemon juice, a little of the rind, half a cupful of each chopped dates, nuts and figs and a half cup of creme beaten stuff. Turn into a mold and serve, when molded, with small cakes. Hot Potato Salad—Boll a half dozen potatoes and slice white hot. Fry thin slices of bacon and cut them into small pieces until there is half a cupful. Pour off the fat from the pan, leaving two tablespoonfuls, into this stir a tablespoonful of flour, mix one-quarter of a tablespoonful of mustard, a few dashes of pepper and a quarter of a tablespoonful of salt. Stir constantly until smooth adding gradually a half cupful of mild vinegar. Let the dressing boll, add the bacon and a small onion finally chopped and the potatoes, serve very hot. This makes a good supper dish. Improvement on the Saw. The efficiency of the saw has been greatly increased by the recent invention of a Frenchman. The teeth of the new saw are arranged in alternate groups—four pointing forward and then four pointing back. For cutting metal the new saws are almost twice as efficient as saws of the usual pattern, and the blade size of the blades do not break easily. They cut either wood or metal and are made in a great variety of shapes and styles. Devotion. "A woman's devotion is a wonderful thing," said the sentimentalist. "No doubt of it," replied Mr. Meekton. "Where Henrietta places her affections her admiration is unquestioning. The only reason she objects to muzzling our bulldog is that she thinks the muscle will spoil his facial expression." Daily Thought. Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them—George Elliot. COLFAX, TOWA. A series of ravival meetings, which has been going on at the Bethel Baptist church for several weeks and has been very successful, closed last Sunday. There were twenty that were baptized in the pool and the white Baptist church by the minister, Rev. Evans. We again welcome one of our old citizens and his amiable wife, Mr. and Mrs. Srothara, to our city. They expect to be very comfortably situated in their own home in the east part of the city, where they invite all their friends to call. What is Buxton's loss is Colfax's gain. Mr. Sam Dean spent Sunday at Enterprise. The Ladies' Home Mission Circle will meet at the home of Mr. Hoping. All members should try and be present. Mrs. Bennie Crank and little daughter expect to leave soon for their new home in Chicago, where Mr. Crank about a month ago accepted a position on the road, with headquarters at Chicago. While Colfax hates very much to lose this amiable family from their city, as Mrs. Crank was a member and the organist of the Bethel Baptist church, a member of the Mission Circle and her presence will be greatly missed. Mr. Ashford, who has been sick for the past week and has had rooms at the Battle House, has been moved to the Victoria Sanitarium, where he can have better attention, and later taken to the Capital City for an X-Ray examination. His friends hope for his speedy recovery. Mr. Fred Miller from Newton was a caller in Colfax on business and registered at the Battle House. Mr. Herman Miller of Newton spent Sunday in our city visiting friends and attending church. Mrs. Bennie Crank and little daughter, Mrs. A. Brooks and little son, Mr. Chas. Brieks, Mr. Herman Miller, Mr. and Mrs. L. Strother, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Holmes were callers at the Battle House on Sunday. Mr. Geo. Shaw was the proud recipient of a very delightful surprise, which was planned and carried out by his sister, Mrs. James, and daughters, Misses Ruth and Hazel, in the form of a birthday dinner, which occurred at his home October 27. A jolly time was had by all present. The out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Joe Morria, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Edwards, Mr. John Dawsey and Mr. Sam James, all from the Capital City. Misses Mitsa Johnson, Eva Bell, Cecil Oiver, Sylvia and Ella Sorrell, Mr. E. Redman and Mr. Finless Btedoe.

Here are a few words of hope and cheer for them by Mrs. Blanche Bowers, Indiana, Pa. "For years my digestion was so poor that I could only eat the lightest foods. I tried everything that I heard of to get relief, but not until I was a year ago when I saw Chamberlain's Tablets advertised and got a bottle of them, did I find the right treatment. I soon began to improve, and since taking a few bottles of my digestion fine." For sale by all dealers.

The chief uses of food are: To form the material of the body and repair its wastes; in forming the tissues of the body it serves as building material. Second, to furnish energy for muscular and other work which the body has to do and to yield heat to keep the body warm. In yielding heat and energy it serves as fuel. There are some antiquated theories going around about certain kinds of foods being the cause of disease, as for instance the eating of meat causing rheumatism, and various other unfounded statements. The chief purpose of this is to furnish balance of rations for the body, so that no part will suffer in the complex organism of the body. Many people are entirely misguided by bad advice, as for example the drinking of little water causing fat to be absorbed more readily, or that to drink water with meals brings on indigestion; chief among all the errors is the readiness with which the liver is blamed for being the cause of half our troubles. There is more danger in being underfed than in being overfed. The underfed are the ones who are more likely to fall prey to the infectious diseases; and underfed person is not likely to set the world afire with any laudable achievement; the criminals and backward people are as likely suffering from lack of nutrition as from some radical error in their make- up. The men who have done big things in life are the ones who are able to digest wholesome food, consequently to store energy which is essential to carry on big projects. food changes a man's view of life and often makes a passable saint of a potential criminal. There is, however, a vast difference between eating much and eating well. There may be, and usually is, more nourishment in good meat not necessarily expensive cuts), bread, butter and potatoes than in twice the monetary value of nick-nacks. Judgment in selecting a suitable diet is often the difference between high cost of living and the cost of high living, which frequently means improper living. Good sense and experience will often be a better guide to the individual than some theoretical advice. No man ever gained in money, contentment nor health by underfeeding himself or family. But there is more sense in 10 cents worth of beefsteak or eggs than in the same value of pie.
