Dr. Enill Koonig "of Ilorlln sayB that

Ernest Thompson Soton, writing In

Believers in woman suffrago and tho

in enjoying a social comedy presented
by a recent election in' a small town,
says Youth's Companion. Two worn

husbands as members or tho school
committee. Somo citizens, who do
not favor women on tho board, noml
nated tho husbands for reelection. The

the husbands to overwhelming defeat
of the wives.
TO RENOVATE THE CARPET.
Treatment That Will Make It Almost
Like New,
Many a pcrfoctly good carpet be
comes shabby and worn-looking with
out being actually old. Tho figures lose
their brightness and tho grain Is
rough and unkempt looking. Hero Is
a simple process by which fho carpet
or rug will onco moro look presont
able, nnd as good as new. It Is vouch
ed for by a contemporary.
Cut an ounce of yellow soap Into
squarcHi and with them make a lather
with a pint of clear boiling water. Add
to this lather a quart of hot water and
an ounce of borax. Place the mlxturo
on tho range, and bring tho entiro
preparation to a boll. Remove it, sot
It to cool, and when quite cold add one
ounce each of alcohol and nmmonia
and half an ounce of glycerin.
Wipe over only a small portion of
tho carpet at a tlmo, and rub vigor
ously with a clean flannel (which
should bo repeatedly turned as it be
comes soiled) dipped Into tho mix
ture, until finally all the spots aro re
moved and tho color revived.
The result will bo surprising, for
tho change and improvement are re
niarktihlo. SALSIFY FRITTERS ARE GOOD
Will Prove Excellent Substitute for
Fried Oysters.
Semite and slice a quart of salsify
roots and simmer in boiling salted
wator until tender. If they aro to be
lined Tor dinner at night they should
bo put to cook early In tho afternoon.
Let the water boll off Instead of drain
ing, In order to preserve the fine oy-stm-
llavor of the plant. Press through
a colander. Sift Into a bowl a pint of
Hour, two (oaspooufuls of baking pow
der and one-half teaspoonful of salt.
IJoat two eggs thoroughly and add to
them enough sweet milk to make a
good muffin battel' when added to the
dry Ingredients. Drop In tho salsifj.
season with popper and more salt if
necessary. Have ready n frying pan
In which is a (ablespoonful of good
pork drippings or ollvo oil, and when
smoking hot drop in tho fritters from
the point of a spoon. When brown on
one side, turn with a perforated ladle,
rest for a moment on soft, paper to
absorb all grease, and sorvo hot.
These are almost as good as fried
oysters.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Hang a child's blackboard In the
kitchen with a piece or chalk at
tached. It. Is Inure convenient than
pencil and paper and not so easily
lost.
11 will be economy to finish vour
sheets with tho samo width hem at
each end. Uy so doing they can bo
used either side up, and gain much
wear.
Cold wator, a tublespoonful of am
monia and soap will romovo machine
grease when other means would not
answer on account of . colors running.
ir a Tew drops or glycerin bo added
to the starch for linens, it will be
found Hint tho Iron will not stick and
that tho linens will have a beautiful
gloss after they aro Ironed.
Use a clean brick to stand tho Iron
on when Ironing instead of tho usual
Ironing stand. It. has no holes under
neath to admit the air and tho Iron3
will retain their heat much longer.
New shoos often do not take a good
polish. They will do so If they aro
rubbed over with a cut lemon before
they aro blacked. A cut raw potato
may lie used instead of the lemon if
the latter is not to be had.
Kentucky Com Pudding.
Take ono can or sugar corn, a half
pint of fresh milk, a half pint or
cream, the yolks of three eggs well
beaten, a lump or buttor size or an
egg and season to tasto with salt, and
popper. Add a little sugar, and beat
tho three whites to a stiff froth and
fold In gently. Hake In a slow oven
about. Ufi or 110 minutes. Serve In
same dish in which it is baked.
To Caramel a Mojd.
Put In a mold six tablospooufuls
of granulated sugar wjth enough wa
ter to moisten It. Set tho mold on
tho stove: tho Bugar will molt and
brown. Meanwhile with a fork or
a spoon, keep constantly stirring.
When It becomes a golden brown
keep on the flro and turn tho mold
over on all Its sides, allowing tho
sugar to spread and oven helping
it with the fork or spoon. When tho
mold Is woll covered with tho cav
amol then pour in tho mixture.
Hlgdon Pickle.
Three dozen largo green cucumbors
(minus tho seeds), eight largo white
onions, one-half pint salt, two-thirds
cup of whlto mustard seed, one-fourth
cup of ground whlto peppor-; chop tho
cucumbers and tho onions, and mix
woll together with the salt. Put to
drain over night In sieve or colander
In tho morning measure tho water
that has drained off and set asldo. Mix
In the mustard soed and popper, and
add as much good vinegar as tho wa
tor that was drained. Pack tho pickle
in Mason jars,
WHEN MONEY WAS SCARCE.
Practically Unobtainable During Period
of Missouri's History.
"However scarco monoy may be at
times at tho present," said an old Mis
sourlan, "tho oldest inhabitants will
recall when it was almost unobtain
able and other commodities had to bo
UBcd as media of exchange. Tho
wolf's scalp was worth a dollar be
causo it waH a state bounty upon tho
death of a wolf, and venison hams
and deor skins also had a purchasing
valuo. Skins of tho fur bearers wero
likewise abundant and valuable. When
tho first shorlff of Audrain county, in
1837, wont to Jefferson City to dollver
tho county revenue, ho met an old
friend on tho way who, needing
money, wanted to borrow tho actual
coin part of tho county's rovonuo. Tho
good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and
went on to tho capital and delivered
only tho scalps. By tho tlmo of tho
next settlement tho loan was repaid
nnd tho sheriff mado his next settle
ment complete. No note or other ob
ligation than tho mero word was
given." Columbia Herald.
TO PRETENDERS.
A Wholesome Word for Guidance.
Just a word to you, "Collier's" and
othor glaring examples of Modern
Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes.
Environment gives you a vlow-polnt
from which it Is difficult to under
stand that somo people even nowa
days act from motives of old fashion
ed honesty.
Thero aro honest makers of foods
nnd healthful beverages and there aro
honest peoplo who uso them.
Perhaps you are trained to bollevo
thero is no honesty in this world.
Thero is, although you may not bo
of a kind to understand it.
Somo of you have been trained in a
sorry class of pretenders, but your
training does not taint tho old fashion
ed person trained without knowledge
of prctonso and deceit.
Thodo letters camo to us absolutely
without solicitation. Wo havo a great
many thousand from peoplo who havo
been helped or entirely healed by fol
lowing tho suggestions to quit tho
food or drink which may bo causing
tho physical complaints and change
to Postum Coffeo or Grape-Nuts food.
You aro not intelligent enough to
know the technical reasons why the
chnngo mnkes a change in the cells
of tho body. Your knowledge, or lack
of knowledge? makes not the slightest
difference In tho fncts.
You can print from old nnd worn
plates all the cheap books your
presses will produco and sell them as
tost you can, but such acts and your
"learned" editorials arc but commer
cial, and sock only "dollars ' and much
by pretence.
When you branch1 out Into food
values you hocomo only ridiculous.
Stick to what you know. Tho field
may bo small but It Is safe.

dent of the "Christian Nation", a
worthy Christian paper of New York.

Dear Mr. Prltchard:

its good effects, but friends remark,
"How much I havo improved and how
woll I look", and I tell tho fncts about
Postum every time, for slnco using
It I have not had ono attack of Indi
gestion. It is invigorating, healthful;
docs not affect tho nerves as ordinary
coffee, and if properly made, a most
delicious drink. Although I havo not
had much faith in general advertis

much better for mo than I expected I

hold fast that which is good." I am
so thankful for good health that I

Mexico's Indian Women.
The beauty of Indian women Is ono
of the charms of Mexico. In tho enp
ital, where tho Indian has degen
erated through poverty and menial
servlco it Is less to be remarked than
in tho Bmaller towns and in.lhe coun
try. But tho beautiful faces ono takes
in memory away from Mexico aro
those of Indian wpmen. Fine eyes
are universal, and, what one hardly ex
pects, the features, according to Cau
casian standards broad brows,
straight noses, well-formed mouths
and chins full but not gross or heavy.
The expression is vory generally intel
ligent, and often ono is struck, both In
Indian men and women, with the no
bility and refinement of tho coun
tenance. Ono frequently sees types
among the peons that seem to belong
to some highly civilized ancient casto
an EgyptlaiApriest of royal blood, a
Roman ccnturlan, an Aztec emperor.
Tho women aro gently lovely where
they nro beautiful, and tho men at
their best in carriage, in manners and
in countenance nro strikingly llko tho
vory advanced product of civilization.
