THE FALLS CIT * TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , SEPTEMBER 21 , 1906. REQUESTED RECIPES. Good Orahnm Twists , Nice Graham Wafers and Crackers and Some Bran Biscuits. Grahnin twists nro made of thrco or four parts of grnlmm Hour to 0110 part sweet cream. Whole wheat Hour may bo substituted. Sift the gra'jam Hour , and , If very coarse , add Jnlf white Hour ; have Hour cold and hi a basin ; have cream cold and , drop ping Into the Hour stir briskly with ii fork , allowing no wet pools to form. This should make a very stiff dough which should not stick to the board while being kneaded one-half hour , or until a piece will give a snapping sound when pulled off. Koll thin ns piecrust and cut Into strips one-hilt' to three-quarters of an inch wide ; twist with hands and lay In biking pan ; the oven should not be too hot. When done they arc crisp , and ilio starch Is dcxtrlnl/cd ( partially di gested ) , as In zweibach. Graham Crackers Seven cupfuls ot graham Hour , one cuptul of thick sweet cream ( or butter ) , one pint of sweet milk , two teaspoonftils of bak ing powder ; sieve and rub the bak ing powder Into the Hour ; add the cream ( or bulter , which shouM be rubbed Into the Hour well ) , a little salt , then the milk ; mix well , and roll as thin as soda crackers ; cut in any shape ; bake quickly ; then leave about the stove for a few hours to dry thor oughly. Bran Illfpults One quart of nilU or water ; three teaspoonfuls of but ter ( or lard ) three table-spoonfuls sugar ; two tablespoonfuls oaker's yeast ( any live yeast will do ) ; pliich of salt , and Hour , wheat and graham. Take enough wheat flour to use up the water , making It the consistency of batter cake dough ; add the rest of the Ingredients and as much gra ham Hour as can be stirred in with a spoon. Set away until morning. In the morning , grease a pan , 'lour the hands and take a lump of dough the size ot a large egg , roll lightly between the palms ; put Into the pan and let them rise 20 minutes , and bake In a tolerably hot oven. Graham Wafers One-third cupful of butter , one-third cupful of sugar ; half tcaspoonful of salt ; ono pint ot white flour ; ono pint of graham Hour. Mix the butter , sugar and salt ; chop this mixture into the white and gra ham flour mixed ; wet it with coH water into a very stiff dough ; knead well , and roll out very thin ; cut in' squares or any shape desired and bake quickly. The Commoner. MISCELLANEOUS. White paint , when dirty , should be washed in milk. Colored paints may also be treated in this way. Li mo sprinkled on the shelves will keep pickles and jams in the storeroom - room from becoming moldy. The lime must be renewed occasionally , ns It loses Its strength. When tablecloths are beginning to get shabby in the middle or at tlie folds a few inches cut at ono end and one side will completely alter the place of all folds and will give the cloth a new lease of ! lfe. Boiling-hot liquid may be safely poured into a glass jar or tumbler by Hrst putting a silver spoon in the dish. I3o careful , however , that a draught of cold air docs not strike the vessel while hot. Instead of using any sort of veil- case , which requires the folding of an already mussed veil into still more creases , use a toy rolling pin and roll your veils around it , smoothing out the mussed ends as well as you can. Never expose leather to the extreme- heat of a fire or It will become hard and liable to crack. Shoes and boots should be dried at a safe distance from the flre , but to expedite the pro cess they may bo filled with oats. The damp of the leather will be absorbed by the oats , which may be dried and put away again for future use. Whenever an oil printing becomes dusty and discolored , it may be cleansed by the use of white raw pota to , for artists frequently make use of this method. Commence at ono corner of the picture and rub the surface . with a raw potato which has been Hat ; tened by removing a slice ; as fast as i the potato becomes discolored remove a thin slice with a sharp knife and [ continue to rub the picture until the entire surface has been cleansed. Then i wipe the picture off with a soft cloth , and It will be found quite clean , and i the paints r/'H ' not be injured or faded , but simply cleaned. Good Literature. Peanut Candy. Two cups of New Orleans molasses. Two cups of soft A sugar. Ono cup of butter. Ono saltspoon of salt. Ono teaspoon of vanilla. Six quarts of peanuts. Put the butter , sugar and molasses j on together , adding the salt after it I comes to a boil. Boil until It forms a soft ball in cold water , then take j from the stove and beat vigorously ten minutes. Return to the stove and I boll until a spoon drawn through it t makes a slight path. Add the vanilla and heat again. When beginning to grow cold , stir in the peanuts and 1 pour into buttered pans. Hotch Potch. Hotch potch Is an old-fashioned Scotch dish , made In the spring , when there are plenty of Iresh vegetables. It is a thick puree-like soup , it may be made either from fresh or cooked 1 "meat. This is one way of making it. Three or four pounds of loin chops ore put into a saucepan with about three quarts of boiling water. Peas , harrl- cot beans , carrots , half a turnip , pars ley , a little bit of cabbage and some green onions are added. Boll this very slowly for an hour and a quarter , sea son with pepper and salt. It should be a thick broth whzn done. TO EXTEND YOUR LIFE. I Thinking an Exhaustive Process and the Need the Brain Worker Has of Repair. According to the theories propound' od recently by Dr. Wilhclm Ostwald , of the University of Lclpslc , in his lecture before the students of Colum bia university , the length of human life depends upon the store of psychic energy which is within the body. The prolongation of Hfo at pleasure , ac cording to his theory , should bo mere ly a question of revitalizing the body occasionally with this mysterious force , which travels through the nerv ous system , and which experiment 1ms shown to bo closely akin to electricity. Dr. Ostwnld said In part : "Thinking Is the most exhaustive kind of work , because it consumes more of this force than any physical process. It has often been found , upon stopping the process of thought , that this energy Is transformed Into heat in the body , and at the same time there Is less need of reenforcement of the supply of energy. When I am en gaged In severe mental labor , as 1 have been since coming to America , I eat twice as much as I do wlipn I am not so engaged. This only shows that the brain Is constantly using up a supply of the energy , and to keep up brain work we must keep supplying the en ergy from the outside. "Most of this energy comes In through the food which we eat , but every sense Impression , such as seeIng - Ing , hearing or feeling , conveys a cer tain amount of force into the body. When the body once receives the en ergy , It acts just like any other ma chine In its transferences. Thu ques tion of long life then Is simply a ques tion of keeping up the supply. As long as the vital organs are able to assimilate properly , thus providing the body with the force that Is used up In mental and physical processes , a person should remain young.

When my lit tle neighbor washes blankets , it Is a pleasure just to sit by and watch the pretty , soft , fluffy things blow- jng on the line. The process Is so 1 simple that I have learned to do It myself. Choose a warm , sunny , but windy day. This Is Important , if the best results are wished. While dry , look over them carefully , and put a safety pin in the center of the spoiled spots. For one pair of blan kets , prepare a suda with half a cake of any good white soap , with one tablespoonful each of borax and am- monla. The suds must bo as hot as you can bear the hand In. Let the blankets stand In this for an hour , and If the water is too cold , add more hot water. Then look up the places where the pins are , remove these and rub between the hands until the spots disappear. Do not ruben on the board , and do not soap on the blanket direct ; have ready a second tub of suds , and paddle them around In this , squeezing and pressing be tween the hands ; rinse In not less than three waters of the same tem perature , running them through the wringer each time. Fasten with at least a dozen pins to the line , and shake frequently while drying. Storing Woolens. This Is the sea son for putting away woolen clothes and furs. No moth balls or other vile-smelling substance will be needed If the garments are hung on the line in the sun , whipped with a light switch , and In the case of clothes all the soil spots carefully cleaned. Then tie up In clean pillow cases or , better still , fold over the hems and run along on the machine. A chaln-stltch machine is best for this purpose , as it is easily ripped ; but if a lock-stitch is used , have the bottom thread loose. Country Gentleman. ' Whole Wheat Bread. Scald one cupful of milk , add onn cupful of water , ono teaspoonful each of Bait , sugar and butter. When this Is lukewarm , add one-fourth of a yeast cake dissolved in one-half of a cupful of lukewarm water , and enough whole wheat Hour to make a th'n ' bit ter. Have this done oy six o'clock am' set , in a warm place until ten o'clock. Add enough Hour to make a soft dough , kneading well. Let It rise until morning. Then stir down and poui Into well-greased pans and let it rise half an hour. HaKe ono hour iu n ' moderate oven. I To Renew a Mirror. ' Keep lor this purpose a piece of sponge , a cloth , and silk handkerchief , all entirely free from dirt , as the ieas > i grit will scratch the fine surface ot the glass. First sponge it with a little spirits of wine , or gin and water , to clean off all spots ; then dust over it powdered blue tied in muslin , rub 1 * lightly and quickly off with the clotb , and flnlsh by rubbing with the silk handkerchief. Be careful not to nib the edges of the frame. Moth in Carpetu. I If the moths have got Into a carpet it must bo taken up , thoroughly ' shaken , and pressed with a flatlron an hot as it will bear without scorching. , Then liberally sprinkle the floor where It is to lie with spirits of turpentine , pouring it into any cracks there may be between the boards. Tor Washing Brushes. Dissolve rock ammonia in the pro- portion of one ounce to two quarts of water. Dip the bristles lightly in this and move backward and forward , Hlnso thoroughly In cold water , shake and dry in the sun. Market Letter. Stock yards , Kansas City , Mo. , Sept. 10.190(5.

I cannot swy too much in praise of It. ' * For sale at all drug store * , The Situation. The campaign in Nebraska this year will be a speaking one , and the voters of the First congressional district will have a number of opportunities to hear national , as well as state 'issues discussed. The fact ought not to be over-looked in the interest aroused over the 'candidacies of Brown and Shel don that there are some nation al questions upon which an ex pression of the people is desir able. The most important one will be. Shall President Roosevelt velt be endorsed ? Democrats may say that this is begging the question , since the Presi dent is not an issue , but repub licans are not to be blinded to the fact that the democracy is making a desperate effort to secure control of the lower house If they succeed it can- imt be construed otherwise than a rebuke to the President. In this district Congressman Pollard is a candidate for re. election. Mr. Pollard was one of the staunch supporters of the Roosevelt program in last ses sion , and he can be depended upon to be for it in the sessions that will intervene between now and the close of the President's term. Mr. Pollard has no dis position to make his campaign I upon the platform -'Stand by Roosevelt , " and in the six weeks campaign that has been I ' outlined he will present his views.and submit his record to ! ' the people of the district for I their verdict Voters generally however , Ought to bear in mind that the most important thinu to them is whether they wish to give the special interests that the President has so success fully fought , the satisfaction of seeing him humiliated at the hands of the people he has-serv ed so well , or whether they de sire to stamp with approval his acts. The only way they can give that approval is by elect ing a republican Congress , The First District can do its part in this good work. Norris Brown by his ability , his labor and his courage has won for the tax payers of Rich ardson County a great victory. A decree is spread upon the re cords of the United States cotirt which commands the Burlington railroad to pay to Mr. Lord every dollar of taxes they owe us. To obtain this decree Mr. Brown contended against the greatest railroad lawyers in the west. This judgement did not cost the tax payers of this county a penny but it did cost Mr. Brown the most determined opposition of every railroad in thestato. This opposition will be continued throughout the entire campaign , Not a railroad in this state will support a single candidate for the legislature whose vote , if elected , will be cast for Brown for the United States Senate. These great corporations will vote against him because he would not permit them to beat ns. Would it not bo the fair thing for us to do to support him because he did fight our battles so well and so successfully ? A vote for Shubert , Jones and Stalder is a vote for Brown , for honesty in public places , for the Roosevelt policy of the square deal. A vote against them is a vote against one who has been our best friend , a vote in favor of the railroad desire , a vote against the President and his policies. Doctors Could not Help Her.
