j
FAIRVIEW MAN ON FIFTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY IS
GIVEN GRAND OVATION
TRIBUTES PAID TO HIS WORTH
o
Lincoln Bryan Club's Annual Was a Record Breaker
Prominent Democrats From Other
States Were Present
Thirteen hundred' enthusiastic dem
ocratic banqueters celebrated the fif
ty-first birthday of W. J. Bryan , at
the Lincoln auditorium Monday night.
Enthusiasm was at a high pitch dur
ing the long program. No one minded
the hot , stuffy hall , but listened in
tently to the principles advocated by
the speakers , without an exception
.progressive in tendency. No effort
was made to hide the fact , by Nebras
ka speakers , that the democratic par
ty is divided between progressives
and standpatters , just as much as the
republican party is divided. The ap
plause showed plenty of sympathy for
the sentiment advocated.
It was an open secret that the big
banquet had been planned to show to
the majority of the democratic party
of the state that Bryan was not the
dethroned leader he is fondly hoped
to be by the men now in the saddle
guiding the democratic party. It was
in order to indicate that all demo
crats had not severed allegiance to
HON. CHAMP CLARK
U. S. Senator From Missouri and
Speaker of the House
the "Sage of Fairview" because of his
attitude on the liquor question last
fall. As the plan grew the managers
became more optimistic , speakers of
national prominence readily agreed
to be present and the demand for
reservations at the "dollar dinner"
came in thick and fast.
The managers arranged for the
largest hall of the city and ordered
that all plates possible be laid. Re
publicans and democrats alike asked
permission to attend. Delegations
from many outside towns came in to
be on hand to pay tribute to the lead
er. Legislators who had said bitter
things against him at times caught
\
HON. JOHN W. KERN
U. S. Senator From Indiana
the spirit and were on hand at least
to listen.
j
The result was that not in its his
tory has Lincoln seen a greater gath
ering of banqueters for any purpose ,
-and seldom has such wild enthusiasm
been invoked as at times responded to
the clear-cut convincing declarations
of the speakers.
Auditorium Filled.
The Auditorium , in which the ban
quet was held , seats 2,500 people. It
was full. The floor was taken up
-with rows of tables extending from
? the stage to the foyer , while across
the stage ran a table at which were
seated the speakers. Far down the
"hall hung the banner of the Lincoln
IBryan club , the promoters of the
birthday banquet.
Owing to the fact that more tickets
-were sold than places could be pro
vided 'for on the floor , the overflow
gathering was fed at the Lindel ho
tel across the street. 'These diners
came'in later and filled up the aisles
HON. W. J. BRYAN
and empty seats in the gallery , much
of which had previously been pre
empted by the townspeople who came
to listen but not to eat. There were
many women in the gallery.
The number of persons to be fed
was so formidably large that the girls
and colored waiters began work early
in the morning. By 11 o'clock all the
plates and goblets , the celery and the
buns had been arranged as well as
the silverware , while half-gallon bottles
tles of mineral water stretched their
long necks into the air from all the
tables , proclaiming the distinctly tem
perate character of the spread.
At the Speakers' Table.
The speakers sat at the head table
in the following order from the toast-

The large audience , both of ban
queters and listeners , stayed on after
the cars had stopped running , stayed
on to listen to hamp Clark and to
hear Mr. Bryan , who was the guest of
honor of the evening.
As Mr. Bryan arose to speak , con
tinued and loud applause greeted him
from the house. In opening he
thanked the Lincoln Bryan club for
the celebration of his birthday. He
declared that he had asked clubs over
the country not to connect his nanio
with their organizations for fear that
his motives might be impugned there

"And I assure you that these trib
utes will not swell my egotism , or
cause my head to grow , " he said. "A
man is only one small unit amid the
mass of humanity , and his efforts at
the most can exert only a small com
parative influence. It would be more
than any man could do to cause the
mighty moral revolution / which we
HON. ROBERT L. OWEN
U. S. Senator From Oklahoma
now have in the country. But to aid
in calling attention to these mighty
changes is all the honor that I can
claim. "
"What matters it if today you turn
me down in a.-convention ? I live and
they who turned"me down will die.
What matters it if they don't send me
td a national convention ? God doesn't
require me to go to a convention , but
he does require me to be a man every
day. Where it used to be necessary ,
perhaps to send me , there are now
enough good men to go without me.
It simply means that right will tri
umph ultimately. "
"It is of little consequence to the
great democratic party of America
that , there may be men in Nebraska
who , because of his conscientious
convictions on questions of religion
and morality , may seek to discredit
nim. There are nearly six and a half
million of men who so appreciate his
unselfish work of the past fifteeu
years that they will see to it that
neither jealousy , nor prejudice , nor
petty animosity shall for a moment
jrevail against h'm. " Senator John
W. Kern of Indiana.
HOW TO CARE FOR THE FEET
Nothing So Good as Alcohol Rub After
Pedal Extremities Have Been
Chilled.
No other part of the body except the
waist suffers so much abuse and distor
tion as the feet. They are susceptible
to all sorts of deformities and the sub
ject of all sorts of neglect.
Many people do not bathe them suf
ficiently often , do not change their
stockings with sufficient frequency and
do not care for them in other ways as
they should.
/ The soldier who cares for his feet is
the one who holds out on the march ,
and many foreign armies have doctors
who see that the men care for their
feet-The dead skin which hardens and
produces callous spots needs to be re
moved twice a day If the feet perspire
freely.
To rub the feet with alcohol refresh
es them wonderfully , and nothing is as
good for them as a vigorous alco
hol rub after they have been wet or
chilled.
A rub with cocoa butter Is a fine
thing for the feet at all times. Get a
cake of this and give them a five-
minute rub at least once a week after
the daily bath and you will save your
self many a groan.
We should wear rubbers whenever
we need them and take them off as
soon as we can. The feet must be
kept warm and dry.
A famous physician Is reported as
saying that his income would dwindle
to a half If women kept their feet
warm. And it may be added that a
woman's chance of being a comfortable
soul and a jolly person to have around
would be improved by three halves if
she would wear the right kind of
shoes , care for them and her feet prop
erly and try to have everybody else
io the same. New York Mail.
Almond Tarts.
For tarts make shells of rich putt
paste or get patties. Filling for one
dozen tarts : Put three tablespoonfuls
of almond paste In a double boiler with
a little milk to dissolve ; add half a
pint of rich milk and lumps of butter.
When it boils add the beaten yolks of
two eggs mixed with three tablespoonfuls -
spoonfuls of sugar and two of flour ;
let boil till thick ; when cool , add fif
teen cents' worth of ground almonds
and a few drops of almond extract ;
fill shells. Whip the whites of the
two eggs stiff , add two tablespoonfuls
of sugar , spread top and sides of tarts ,
sprinkle with powdered sugar and set
! n oven till a light brown.
Rice Prune Pudding.
To one cup of rice add one quart ot
water and boil slowly for about an
hour , or until rice is nice and tender ;
add one-half teasp'oonful of salt and
one-half cup sugar , also the juice in
which one pound of prunes has been
previously stewed ; from the pound of
stewed prunes remove the pits ( two
silver forks do this nicely ) ; dry half
the pits , crack them and chop the
meats ; mix the prunes and meats
with the rice. This is nice eaten
either hot or cold with a little sugar
and cream or milk.
Potato Croquettes.
Take sufficient mashed potatoes
salt and pepper to taste ; and , if liked ,
a very little minced parsley , egg , and
bread crumbs. Boil and mash the po
tatoes ; add a seasoning of pepper and
salt , and a little minced parsley may
be added , or not. Roll the potatoes
into small balls , cover them with egg
and bread crumbs , and fry in hot oil
or drippings until light brown ; let
them drain before the fire , dish them
on a napkin , and serve.
Potato a la Lyonnaise.
Cut parboiled potatoes into dice
Chop an onion and fry it with a little
minced parsley In good drippings or
butter for one minute. Then put in
the potatoes. Stir briskly until they
have fried slowly for five minutes.
They must never stick to the bottom
aor brown. Sprinkle with pepper and
salt , drain free of fat by shaking
them in a heated colander and serve
hot.
Fudge Frosting.
One and one-half tablespoons but
ter , one-half cup unsweetened cocoa ,
one-fourth cup confectionery sugar , a
few grains of salt , one-fourth cup of
milk , one-half teaspoon vanilla. Add
cocoa , sugar , salt and milk , heat to
boiling point ; let boil for eight min
utes ; remove from fire and beat until
creamy ; add vanilla and pour over

Dried Beef Gravy.
Take a 15-cent glass' of dried bset
and shred the beef into small pieces.
Heat two cupfuls of milk in a spider
and thicken it with two tablespoon
fuls of flour. Then put the shredded
beef into the thickener ! milk and
serve with mashed potatoes. This
makes an excellent dish for any meal
of the day.
Care of Water Bottle.
When the water bottle becomes
lined with a sediment from the water
an easy way to remove it is by put
ting a teaspoon of hydrochloric acid ,
with a little water , in the bottle. The
sediment will entirely disappear in a
few moments , leaving the glass clear
and clean.
To Prevent Cooking Odors.

it on the back of the stove. This will

Calumet has been backed for years by an offer
of $1,000 for any substance injurious to health
found in the baking prepared with it.
Does not this and the fact that it complies with
all pure food laws , both State and National ,
prove that Calumet is absolutely pure ?
With the purity question settled then Calumet
is undoubtedly the best Baking Powder. It

"Hot in Brazil ! " said the young
man who had just returned from a
trip to South America , according to
the Chicago Daily News. "Well , I
should say so. Do you know , for days
at a time we couldn't take our after
dinner siesta on account of the pe
culiar noises. " "What noises ? " asked
the blonde stenographer , innocently.
"Why , the coffee popping on the
trees. You see , the sun was so hot
Hie grains just roasted before they
were picked. " The old traveler yawn
ed. "Rather warm down there , bub , "
he rejoined , laconically , "but when
I was down there you couldn't sleep
at night. Every once in a wb lc
there would sound the most extra or
dinary crackling noise that ever fell
upon the human ear. " "What were
the sounds , Mr. Bings ? " And Mr.
Bings yawned again and replied :
"The rubber trees stretching them
selves. "
DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA
"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples , his lit
tle face was disfigured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The" face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night , his
little face itched.
"We consulted two doctors at Chicago
cage , where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result , we
read of the Cuticura Remedies , and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re
sult , and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age , three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Reme
dies to everybody. " ( Signed ) Mrs. H.

Woman's Power
Over Man
\Voman's most glorious endowment is the power
to awaken end hold the pure and honest love of a
worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on ,
20 one in the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The woman who suffers from weak
ness and derangement of her special womanly orI I
anism soon loses the power to sway the heart of
a man. Her general health suffers and she loses
her good looks , her attractiveness , her amiability
and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R.V. Pierce , of Buffalo , N.Y. , with
the assistance of his staff of able physicians , has prescribed for and cured many
thousands of-women. He has devised a successful remedy for woman's ail
ments. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a positive
specific for the weaknesses and disorders peculiar to women. It purifies , regu
lates , strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers sell it. No honest dealer
advise you to accept a substitute in order to make a little larger profit.
