VERY BIO Q RAVEL sTOlE
THE HONEST NEWSPAPER.
Fl
John F. Carter, editor of the Clm
maron Courier, Boise City, Okla., hag
this to say as to the obligation ot
the newspaper to stand firmly for the
public interests:
All self-supporting, self-respecting,
law-respecting and law-abiding peo
ple look to the honest, vigilant news
paper as the one agency which never
lays down Us arms, which Is always
on guard, always ready for the fray.
They turn to It Instinctively when
their rights are assailed. They know
that It Is always interested. It can
not always win, but while such a
newspaper exists there can be no
llnnl surrender to wrong. An honest
newspaper disseminates information
and keeps Its readers in touch with
the development ot public questions.
It nniBt do even more. It must create
public sentiment, organize move
ments, devise ways and means and
conduct a campaign for ach good
cause. It must be willing to Bland
alone when once convinced that Its
course is right. It must have convic
tions on all public questions, and
maintain them in the face of misrep
resentation. It must prize character
and consistency above popularity.
JIM.
Jim doesn't have to go to school
An' learn to reid an' count an'
spell;
Instead, he plays most all the time
Out on the street, an' well,
I wish that I were Jim.
He doesn't have to wash his face
An' brush his hair an' shoes ,an try
To be a little gentleman.
An' be polite. Oh, my!
Don't I wish I were Jim?
Jim never has to hurry home
Just when the boys all want to
play;
For no one cares, no, not a bit,
How long he stays away.
He's no one's boy Just Jim.
He's very happy all day long.
But sometimes do you s'pose he
might
rWlfh he were some one's little boy,
J When daytime turns to night?
I should, If I were Jim.
For Jim hasn't any mother '
To love an' tuck him into bed,
An' call him mother's laddie dear,
After his prayers are said,
The way mine does. Poor Jim!
So. tonight, when mother's askln' me,
Have I been very good all day,
I'm goln' to hold her, oh, so tight.
An' kiss her, too. an' say:
I'm glad that I'm not Jim.
Consumer Would Pay.
If coal should go up in consequence
of a strike it would not disturb the
equanimity of the coal companies
that expect to have 10.000,000 tons on
hand by the end of this month. They
feel about the matter, probably, very
much as the holders of some million
hags of coffee do about the proposed
Imposition of a duty of 4 cents. The
tax paid by consumers would go to
them until the supplies on hand

Talks on Alveolar

E. Dayton Craig, D. D. S.
INVESTIGATE
MY
METHOD
V
I have heard a definition for a
skeptic, which reads something like
this, "A Skeptic is one who first
doubts, then investigates."
. If you are skeptic In regards my
Alveolar Method "Investigate" and
you will he satisfied that It will do
all that Is claimed for it. .
Investigations are being made
daily and I wonder if you, who may
he reading this article, are ready to
start yours. There must be merit
In my method, else It would not
stand the test of time. I can send
you to patients who are wearing my
Alveolar teeth you can talk with
them and be satisfied for yourself.
But first of all I would have to ex
amine your mouth. No charge Is
'made for examination and there Is
no obligation to have work done.
There Is no two cases exactly
alike, hence each case has to be ex
amined carefully before I could say
whether you could be supplied with
these Alveolar Teeth.
When by examination It Is found
that you can have teeth put in that
will give you absolute, satisfaction,
I will be ready to proceed with your
work.-
If you cannot call at this time, send
for my booklet on "Alveolar Teeth"
which explains my method fully. It
Is free on request.

WEEKLY TRADE SUMMARY
Spring business Disappointing, Condi
tlons Unchanged and Irregular
ity Still Leading Feature.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s "Weekly Review
of Trade will say:
"Faith in the future Is more pro
nounced than satisfaction with Imme-
dlate conditions, and there Is no more
noteworthy feature of the trade out
look than the steadily growing confi
dence that, with the tariff discussion
out of the way and with the year's
principal crops assured, the progress
toward a full Industrial prosperity
will be rapid. Therefore, the better
prospect of a comparatively early
final vote on the tariff and the im
proving weather and crop conditions,
coupled with the . knowledge that
abundant money and big gold out
put are favorablo to expansion, in
spire courage. Tho fact that lower
prices are stimulating a more active
demand for iron and steel products
also aids in this development.
"Iron and steel conditions reflect
a broader demand In some divisions,
notably In pig Iron. Current busi
ness Is of good volume, but competi
tion Is keen and further price reduc
tions are reported on certain grades.
"A better market Is In evidence on
coarse yarn goods, which have been
quiet for some time, and the bag
trade Is inquiring for considerable
quantities of both heavy and print
yarns.
'In the hide market pronounced
strength has developed In all lines
and active buying has been in pro
gress throughout the week. While
there have been no further sales of
unusual size in the leather market,
there Is a steady demand from small
buyers, and the market on the whole
shows an Improvement over last
month. Prices are firm, owing to
the rapidity advancing hide market."

TOMATOES.
When cooking tomatoes, the ad
dition of sugar becomes necessary. As
a (matter of fact, the chief nutritive
value of the tomato lies in its sugar
content, and In many processes of
cooking this is dissolved or modified;
wihkih would seem to Indicate the de
sirability of adding sugar directly.
Ripe tomatoes are nearly 5 per cent
sugar, and it has been found practic
ally oneihalf of td Is is lost in the pro
cess of cooking. This is particular
ly true of the red varieties. The yel
low kinds ihave seemingly a greater
sugar content; for it is certaJn that
when cooked, they Ao not acquire that
extra acid quality which characterizes
the red ones. Far from having to add
sugar to the cooked yellow fruit, there
appeal to fee still an absence of acid
ity. When serving sliced tomatoes, es
pecially if you grow thicfcaWnned va
rieties, it Is well to get rid of the Skin.
Hub the 'blade of a silver knife all
over the surface. This is a better
way than the usual one of scalding
them, wthloh, loosens the skin, but how
ever quickly done, seems to impart a
'cooked' flavor. After peeling slice
the fruits and place them on ice, or
in a cold plsse (or an hour, to get
thorough y chilled. They can be used
for salad, baked, stewed, or tried.

syrup until tender,' but not broken.
Leave till cold. Place In a glass or
silver dish, strain, and then color the

Stale Brown Bread.
Tills Is the way one woman utilizes
stale brown bread crumbs and makes
a quickly made dessert. She covers
the bottom of a glass dish with pow
dered sugar and bread crumbs mixed.
Over this she puts a layer ot whipped
cream and a spoonful or two of pre
serves, then more crumbs and Biigar
and another layer of whipped cream
and preserves. The cook who pre
pares this Is a German and she calls
the simple dainty "gotterspeise."

Corn Meal Mush.
For old-fashioned cornmeal mush,
the best cereal according to many
persons, bring three pints of water
to a boll, add a level tablespoonful of
salt and then sift in with one hand,
little by little, stirring all the time
with the other, a cupful of meal.
Boll for ten minutes. Then turn into
the upper part of a double boiler and
cook for at least three hours more
will not hurt it. Serve the mush hot
or cold with rich cream or with ma
ple syrup. Cold and sliced it is de
licious fried In bacon, fat and eaten
with maple syrup. New York Sun.
Hints To Housekeepers.
To cover the pan In which fish Is
cooking will make the fish soft.
One teaspoonful of extract will fla
vor one quart of custard or pudding.
A teaspoonful of lemon Juice to a
quart of water will cook it that way.
Cold cereals can be filed the same
as mush; serve with gravy and syrup.
Nickel will be kept bright by being
rubbed with wool saturated In ammo
nia. One tablespoonful ot extract will
flavor one quart ot mixture to be
frozen.
One tablespoon ot water or milk
should be allowed for each egg In au
omelet.
How may one cook rice, so as to
make it In separate grains and keep
it white?
Honey should be kept in the dark.
If exposed to light it will quickly
granulate.
One level teaspoonful of salt will
season ono quart of soup, sauce or
vegetables.
One cupful of sugar will sweeten
one quart of any mixture to be served
chilled or frozen.
Alcohol and whiting make a good
silver polish excellent for polishing
plate glass mirrors.
Black lead mixed with vinegar will
be found to give a specially good pol
ish to the kitchen stove.
To raise the pile on plush sponge it
with a 'lltle chloroform and it will
look fresh and new again.
A piece of flannel dampened with
spirits of camphor will remove stains
from mirrors or window glass.
When cooking with old apples at
this season of the year add a little
lemon Juice to give flavor. Summer
apples need nothing but sugar.
Nails In bathrooms and kitchens on
which damp clothes and towels may
be hung should be dipped in enamel,
so that they may not leave rusty
marks.
The ordinary French dressing (3
tablespoontuls oil, 1 1-2 tablespoonfuls
vinegar, 1-4 level teaspoonful salt, 1-8
level teaspoonful pepper) will moist
en one pint ot salad.
To clean sliver, mix sweet oil and
whiting to the thickness ot a cream
put on with a soft cloth, wash in hot
soapsuds and polish with a chamois
skin or a piece of oil soft linen.
New York City. The Empire wufst
Is unquestionably the favorite one ot
the hour, and here Is one that Is
charmingly graceful and attractive
yet quite simple. It can be made as
illustrated with high neck and long
sleeves or with a low neck and short
sleeves, and It can be made with the
yoke and high collar, so becomingly
adapted to daytime wear. In any
case it is an exceedingly charming
model that can be develop Mn al-
most any fashionable material. In
the illustration it Is shown made of
crepe meteore combined with heavy
applique and simple embroidered net,
the girdle and the narrow bands be
ing of messallne. For the little gath
ered frill, or tucker, as our English
friends call it, and the long sleeves
any pretty thin material is appropri
ate, net, lace, chiffon or anything, of
the sort. For the girdle and the
bands the same material or ono In
contrast may be used as preferred.
The waist is made over a fitted lin
ing, and consists of the little gath
ered frill, or tucker, the front and
back portions and the bretelles. The
wide girdle finishes the lower edge,
while the skirt is designed to be ad
justed over the lining and under the
edge of the girdle. The long sleeves
are shirred and arranged over fitted
linings, and these linings should be
of transparent material to give the
best results. The short sleeves are
simple plain ones trimmed in har
mony with the waist. When the high
neck is desired the lining is faced to
form the yoke.
Pleated Ribbon Purse.
Pretty chains for muff or coin
purse may be made of a pleated rib
bon to match the suit
Long Skirts In Style.
Even the skirts of sporting suits
are being made longer than for some
few seasons past.
Tucked Blouse.
The dressy blouse that can be
closed at the front Is a genuine boon,
and this one is charming and attract
ive, while it Includes that feature.
In the Illustration it Is made from
one of the new French crepes with
embroidered dots, and the trimming
Is embroidered banding, in which but
tonholes are worked that allow of
passing the ribbon scarf In and out
But it is adapted to every seasonable
walsting, to the odd blouse and to the
gown, and Is exceedingly charming
apart from the material chosen. The
trimming Illustrated Is effective, and
among the novelties of the season, but
not obligatory, for the band on the
front could be embroidered by hand
or trimmed In any way that fancy
may suggest. Crepey materials will
be extensively used this season, and
have the, merit of requiring no starch
nor iron, but there are Just as many
of the lawns, batistes4 and other fa
miliar waistings seen as ever.
The blouse is made with the fronts
and back. It is tucked on becoming
lines, and is closed invisibly at the
centre front. The sleeves, are pointed
over the hands and are so shaped that
they cling to the arms, taking their
form perfectly, and are graceful In
the extreme.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is three and five
eighth yards twenty-four, two and
three-quarter yards thirty-two or two
yards forty-four Inches wide with
nve-eignth yard of banding two and a
quarter inches wide and one and
three-quarter yards ot lace insertion
and three yards ot edging to make as

Mr. Taft's arrival in church is an in
teresting ceremony to witness. At his
entrance the whole congregation rises
and remains standing until he Is seat

it again stands until he has left the
church, the conduct of those present
being a willing and agreeable tribute
to his office.
The president, by the way, will have
at least one member ot his cabinet

eral Wlckerhsam, whose wife, when
she was a resident ot Washington,
was one of the leading factors of the

school. There are a number of other
notable people among the congrega

The late Senator Morrill of Vermont,
from the time he came here in the
late '50's until his death, was a Wor

The Greatest Grafter. " i
People do not generally understand
why It Is that no nation wants Castro
on Its soil and why the whole civiliz
ed world holds him In such derision.
It is because he is the greatest graft
er of the age. That is the secret of
all his Infirmities and the starting
point of all his quarrels. He gouged
every enterprise that ever started up
In Venezuela, whether It was native
or foreign born. He began as presi
dent of Venezuela a poor man, and by
using the power that the office gave
him, In five or six years, he raked In
twelve million dollars. This graft was
really the beginning of his quarrels
with other nations. It was what dis
turbed his friendly relations with this
country; also with Holland, Germany
and France. His ostracism is the
opinion of civilization of the grafter.
His selfishness destroyed him. What
he has lost Is more than he stole.

POOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.
A prominent Georgia physician
went through a food experience which
he makes public:
"It was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts
food and I also know, from having
prescribed it to convalescents and
other weak patients, that the food is
a wonderful rebullder and restorer
of nerve and brain tissue, as well as
muscle. It improves the digestion'
and sick patients always gain Just as
I did in strength and weight very rap
idly. "I was in such a low state that I
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains ot this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact, I was not quite as well as
when I Mt home.
"My food did not sustain me and
It became plain that I must change.
Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks I could walk a mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since
that time I have felt as well and
strong as I ever did in my life.
"As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, I consider it a duty to
rake these facts public."
' Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when
the regular food does not seem to sus
tain the body, will work miracles.
