Drain of the Middle Men. i.ittle middle men are eating tho life out of New York and drinking its heart's blood. Why, there are many restaurants where a piece of meat, fish or fowl is cooked and served even cheaper than the first cost in some of these severe, sometimes fashionable butcher shops. All this discourages housekeeping and encourages divorce, desertion and damnation. —New York Press. Happiness Right of Childhood. One of the inalienable rights of your children is happiness at your hands. The richest heritage you can give them is a happy childhood —tender memories that will brighten the com ing days when the children have gone out from the sheltering home —mem- ories which will be a safeguard in times of temptation and a conscious help amid life's stern realities. One Way to Avoid It. When Carrie was three or four years old she went with her grand mother to visit an aunt. The little one ate very heartily of berries, when her grandmother said, "Don't eat any more berries or you will have a pain under your apron." Carrie regarded the dainty apron seriously for a mo ment, then said, "Please take my apron off, grandma."—The Delineator. When Pessimists Meet. "Well, we will soon have to try again to look as if we meant it when we tell that old lie about its being just what we wanted." "Yes, but that will not be the hardest ?art of it. We will soon have to try again to look as if he believed it when that lie is told to us." Her Rainy Day. A patient woman toiled and hoarded for 14 years, and then cheerfully spent all her savings for a divorce. This would seem to be a peculiar applica tion of the axiom which cautions us to lay up something for a rainy day.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. Avoid Borrowing. Borrowing is so common among some women that it becomes an every-day occurrence and not infre quently when one borrows an article it becomes broken, lost or stolen. Do not borrow unless dire necessity com pels you to do so. Business Development. Tf in the normal business you have to take risks you must, of course, do so, but to seek them for the sake of extra gains is disastrous. Rapid rev olutions may sometimes be successful, but. evolutions always mean growth. —Sid J. Knill, in the Organizer. Ready to Take Up Any Notion. We should be surprised at the way notions spread like epidemics if we •lid not realize that multitudes are going about with famished minds to whom any notion is better than nothing. True Enough.

DANGER OF MISUNDERSTAND ING BY LATIN-AMERICA. Vigorous Policy Pursued by the Ad ministration Toward the Tyrant Zelaya Will Be Indorsed by Our Southern Neighbors. A good dea) of nonsense is being printed about the effect of the vigor ous handling of Zelaya by the United States upon the feeling of Latin-Amer ican countries toward the mighty re public which far exceeds in strength all other nations of the Western hem isphere. it is said that the course pursued in Nicaragua is creating dis trust and engendering ill will which must have a bad effect upon American trade and other American interests in the countries of the new world which speak Spanish or Portuguese. This is sheer folly, and it is also uncomplimentary to the real Latin- Americans of the Argentine, for ex ample, or Chile, or the white citizens of Rio Janeiro, or the City of Mexico. Is it to be supposed that such men of affairs have any fellow feeling for Zelaya, or any other despot in a Cen tral American country inhabited al most wholly by Indians and various mixtures of the red and black and white races? Argentina, Chile or Bra zil would make short work of such a nuisance as the Nicaraguan tyrant, if their subjects were involved and their treaty rights were violated, and the scene of trouble were near their boun daries. Buenos Ayres and Rio Ja neiro, Santiago and Havana, do not devote much attention to Central America. Their outlotK it upon Europe and the I'nited States. If this republic is ever distrusted or feared in the countries of Latin-Amer ica which really count it will be for some reason very different from the disciplining of such a tyrant as Ze laya, or the regulation of an obstre perous little state like Nicaragua, mis ruled, torn by internal dissensions and impossible to rely upon for interna tional good conduct. There is no dan ger in a little necessary police duty. Size of the National House. The members of the national house of representatives at the present time number 391. The first house of rep resentatives contained 05 members'. The growth in size of the body after each decennial census is shown by the figures concerning reapportion ment published in the Daily News al manac for 1910, which has just been issued. The growth has been espe cially rapid in recent years. After the seventh census, taken in 1830, the house had 2:57 members. The num ber was increased but slightly after the following census: In 1870 the number grew to 291?; in ISBO, to 332; in 1890, to 357; and now, under the apportionment based on the census of 1900, the number is only a little short of 400. The ratio of representatives to popu lation under the first apportionment was one to 30,000. At the present time the ratio is one representative to 191,182 inhabitants. Presumably the house after the next apportionment will be even larger than it is now, unless public opinion is educated to demand the contrary. The members of congress are tempt ed to make the number large to pro vide as many places as possible for ambitious statesmen. Hut the result of yielding to this impulse is to se cure a body that is unwieldy because of its size and therefore inefficient. The larger the body, too, the greater the expense, for members now receive a salary of $7,500 a year each. Xot only should the further growth In the size of the national house of representatives be checked, but an effort should be made to reduce the number of members. A house of 300 members is large enough. Congress should be prevailed upon to adopt a ratio that will keep the size of the house of representatives down to that figure. Senator McLaurin. Imbued with intensely southern spir it. but actuated by fair-minded and patriotic impulses in his stand upon public questions, the late Senator Mc- Laurin represented the better type of southern statesman in the upper house of congress. His activities in behalf of the south and the nation, his prominence in the counsels of his party asociates, his breadth of view relative to the progress and the pol icy of the southern states made him a national legislator of serviceable na tivity. The death of Mr. McLaurin will be felt as a distinct deprivation not only on the part of Mississippi, but of the south generally, and his personal traits, as well as the scope of his views, will make his passing an event of deep regret to the members of the senate, irrespective of party. Ife lived and worked earnestly. Upheavals Not Wanted. President Taft's program for legis lation. according to the reports which come from Washington, is not charged with the possibilities of earthquakes. Business and industry, soon to begin a new year, are not nraying for earth quakes.—New York Press. Col Bryan says the people of Texas overestimate the importance of the state. '.Mie trouble appears to be that they underestimate the importance of Col. BryanV— St. Paul Dispatch. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1910 IN ADVISORY CAPACITY ONLY Duties of the New Senate Committee on Public Expenditure Are Well Defined. .lust at a time when Great. Britain is witnessing a bitter struggle over the precise place which the upper house of the national legislature shall play in dealing with national finance, with the weight of opinion anions constitutional authorities de cidedly in favor of the claims of the commons and the ministry as over against the lords, there is a contrary movement in this country tending in the direction of extending the powers of the executive and the senate. The formal reports of the secretary of the treasury and the president indicate a divided intention hereafter to play a much more conspicuous and impor tant advisory role than heretofore in controlling national expenditure, a tendency that congress itself author ized and made provision for in the last sundry civil appropriation bill, and that Mr. Tawney, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, says was enacted "to concentrate in the executive primarily the responsi bility for proposed drafts on the treas ury, and to require of department heads , more thoughtful and careful consideration of the annual estimates before their transmission to con gress." The new senate committee on pub lic expenditure, of which Senator Root is to be chairman and Senator Crane a member, is not to supplant the pres ent committee on appropriations, but is to co-operate with it, in an ad visory way, 011 all matters involving appropriations for the executive de partment of government, where the ratio of increase is larger now than in any other department. It will at once set at work investigating the merit or demerit of recommendations in the president's message, which in volve additional administrative ex pense, such as the recommended bu reau of health. TRADE WITH CANADA LARGE Dominion Is Developing Into One of the Best Customers the United States Has. During the first ten months of this ! year the United States sold to Canada 1 products valued at $154,300,000. That | wa« almost 12 per cent, of the total | exports of this country. It.was more ! than twice as much as all its South | American sales. The sales to Canada i exceeded by $20,000,000 those of the corresponding ten months of 1908. | Manifestly here is a growing trade | and one worth preserving. The united | kingdom is the largest customer of j the United States, but while exports to it have increased only $2,000,000 in four years, those to Canada have in creased $32,000,000. The Canadian exports to the United States for the ten months in question were valued at $70,000,000. One-fifth i of that was represented by lumber, an | article which Americans would buy j much more extensively if the tariff i allowed them to do so. They would I also be more liberal consumers of Ca- S nadian foodstuffs if it were permitted. Mere is an exchange of goods valued at $224,000,000. The exchange be ! tween the United States and all Asia | did not quite come lip to it. This great i trade has grown up without the fos | terin« care of governments. No sub- I sidies have been given to steamers to ! build it up. It has expanded in spite i of legislative obstacles. Canada is now j a better consumer than Prance. In a few years, if the insanity of a tariff war shall not come on, it will be a better customer than Germany. Canadians want American products | and Americans want those of Canada. The mutually profitable exchange of their commodities should not be sac rificed.

The deplorable fact that thousands of children in our public schools come there day after day without proper breakfasts, is indisputable. The ex treme poor are in a measure pardon able; but what of the hundreds of careless mothers who do not realize what a proper diet for a child should be? A child sent off to school after a breakfast of a cup of coffee and often a baker's bun, is not prepared 1o cope with his lessons or is not sup plied with food to furnish physical energy. A dish of good breakfast food with milk or thin cream, some stewed fruit or fresh, a slice or two of well prepared toast, with an egg when the breakfast food is of a light variety, a cup of milk or cocoa, makes a good breakfast for a hearty, grow ing child. A good rule with some chil dren who refuse to eat, is to refuse to let them goto school on the days they cannot eat. Rice with cream and sugar makes a delightful breakfast dish. Daked ap pies with cream, stewed prunes or any dried fruit is always wholesome. In cold weather the breakfasts are heartier; an occasional chop with creamed potatoes. As a rule, however, meat once a day is amply sufficient. If hot cakes are enjoyed there are none ihat quite take the place of the crispy brown waffle. It is much more easily digested than the ordinary griddle cake. Another evil to be avoided with a child's breakfast, is hurry. Let the meal be eaten without haste, so that it may be properly digested. A hurried, nervous child is almost sure to have indigestion. The moth er who does not care enough about the feeding of her child to get up in time to see that it is properly done, who cares more for the card table and the theater than she does for the physical welfare of her children, ought to be visited by a humane agent. day's burden thy hands ma> bear, Nay, 'tis enough dear heart!

The ordinary method of cooking called frying, is rather sauteing and the least satisfactory method of cook ing. In cooking a fish in a little fat after it is turned over, the cooked side cools rapidly, the surplus fat on the surface soaks in, and cannot be tlrained off afterward. That which is left in the pan is usually wasted, as it is mingled with bits of food, so alto gether aside from the standpoint of dietetics, sauteing is not an econom ical process. Slices of fish rolled in meal, laid in a frying basket, and dipped into hot, deep fat, cooks crisp and brown, may be drained on paper to absorb the surplus fat. A morsel fit for a king. The slice of fish that is sauted is broken and fat and mussy. The best fat for frying is unques tionably olive oil, but few of us are related to "oil kings." so we must con tent ourselves with a cheaper product. Tha way the market looks now, how ever, all fat may be too expensive for the ordinary buyer. Lard is the most commonly used fat, and has never quite lost its bold as the best of our cheaper fats. If there is a prejudice against lard, there are many compositions that have found favor on the market. Some cooks use one-third beef suet and consider it superior to all lard.
