HOW YOU MAKE FANCY AR TICLES AND ABOUT THE DE8IGN8 AND CARE OF YOUR "ROSE GARDEN." " Aping the Hen. The tight skirts have necessitated a new gait. , ' ' "' Not long ago we were all wearing Gibson gowns and walking like cam els. Now It Is the stately ben whom we must copy; rigid at the knee, high stepping with the foot; In fact, com plete In every dettail except the cluck; and, Indeed some of the modern voices, In competition with the music fashionable at big restaurants, are not altogether lacking in this similarity. In afternoon dress ' the likeness Is carried further by . the fact that the fashionable hats are still a mass of waving feathers, and boas are being very much worn made of cock's feath ers. All told, this age, sartorlally speak ing, may go down the ages as the chicken era. ( Roaet Heart ' One sheep's heart, two tablespoon fuls of bread rumbs, one large onion, one teaspoonful of sage, pepper and Belt' Wash the heart well la cold water; remove all pipes from It, leav ing any fat or skin to cover the stuff ing over. Boll the onion until tender and chop . it well; add the bread crumbs, sage and seasoning;, mix all well together and fill the heart well; draw the skin over and sew It; flour well and place In a baking pan, put some drippings on the top and bake In a quisk oven, basting constantly lor twenty minutes to one-half hour, ac cording to the heat of the oven. The secret in roasting hearts is to put as much stuffing In as possible; this pre vents the fibres from contracting too much, and retains the juices. Heart shpuld be served on a very dish ; when possible, in a hot water dish. To make a gravy, remove the heart to a hot dish and keep hot, pour off all the fat, flour the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper; rub the pan well with a Bpoon to loosen the brown parts and pour on some hot water, boll up and strain around the heart. with bits of butter and place in a brisk oven to heat through and cook the oysters. Slip onto a heated platter and pour over a savory sauce of melt ed butter and tomato catsup heated together. i Cucumber Wash. Cucumber wash is most excellent for the skin at all seasons of the year. To make it, take one or two cucum shortening, mixed, with two cups of sugar, add two well-beaten eggs, one cup of sour milk, three cupe of flour, sifted with a teaspoonful- of baking soda, three cups of oatmeal, a table- spoonful each of currants, well dredg ed. Mix well, then, as this dough sticks badly, put an abundance of flour on the board and rolling pin and roll Into a sheet. After cutting into shapes, sprinkle with sugar. .. The 8hlny Nose. '-. The greasy skin , that causes such heartburnings among women who can not prevent their noses from shining Is a result of a disordered condition of the fat-producing glands of the skin. : The secretion from these glands is both abnormal In amount and Is al tered in character, being more oily limn usual. The skin of the forehead, cheeks and nose Is affected, the mouths of the tiny glands being dilat ed, and often there is noticeable en largement of the superficial blood ves sels. The cause Is unknown. It occurs chiefly In young adults. In women more frequently than In . men, and In brunettes more than in 'blondes. The patient may be In per-' feet health otherwise, but the condi tion Is often met with in consumptives, and In anaemic, generally run-down subjects. Treatment must be constitu tional, as there are no specific reme dies. Tonics containing arsenic, Iron or strychnine are often of benefit. Lo cally, evaporating lotions containing alcohol or ether may be tried. These, . together with some pure powder, used with discretion, are the only means by which this unfortunate skin condition can bo improved. The powder should be only lightly dflntcd on, and should never be rubbed Into the skin so as to clog the poreB. ' The face should first be washed and carefully drlnd, then bathed In Borne cooling toilet water, and dried again, after which a very small amount of the powder should be lightly dusted on. Colchester Steaks. Chop very fine the roast beef left over and moisten slightly with a little of the gravy. Put a generous piece of butter in a frying pan and heat slz- zllng hot, put in. one-half of the beef, spreading it In a flat cake; cover this with a layer of oysters, then spread on the reat of the beef In a layer, dot bers, cut them Into rather small bits without peeling. Put these Into a mor tar and pound with a pestle (or use a heavy wooden potato masher and a heavy earthen bowl) until the mass is pulplike In consistency.'. Now 'Alter this through a piece of cheesecloth or very coarse muslin, squeezing out as much of the juice as you can from the refuse. Now put the refuse and filtered juice into a clean enameled saucepan and simmer (don't boll) for ten minutes. Then restrain, and when celd add al cohol to the proportion of one table spoonful to half a pint of the strained liquid. Bottle and use to sponge your face instead of washing it during the day. . -. . . The alcohol should preserve the juice. There is no remedy that will remove scars, but this salve will help make them less noticeable. Formula Lanolin, two drams; oint ment of blnlodlne of mercury, one dram. ' Rub In well once a day. To Clean Plumes. A good way to clean ostrich plumes, white or colored, easily, is by soak ing five minutes In warm, clean suds. Draw them lightly through the- hand a few, times and rinse in warm, clear water and dry by Bhaklng over the stove; then recurl by drawing each little barb, over a dn.Il edge of a knife or scissors. , . Angel Fudge. Two cups powdered sugar, three- quarters cup silver drips, one-quarter cup water. Beat the whites of two eggs stiff. Cook the sugar, Bllver drips and water until It hairs and pour It over the beaten eggs very slowly. Then put in a cup of nuts if wanted and beat until quite stiff and pour into buttered plates.

In- tho mutter of the L. Porter for settlement of delln Smooth Starch. Stnrchmaklng requires skill on a gas stove to prevent burning. Instead of dissolving tho starch In a kottle and pouring boiling water upon It In the I old way, when It browns before cook ing, try placing water In a kettlo, pre viously rubbing a bit of clean lard in ; the bottom. To each quart of boiling water add one ladle of starch dis solved In a little water, and stir n as you would thickening to gravy. Macaroni Balls. Thicken one cupful of milk with one tablespcMmful of flour creamed with cue tablespoonful of butter and season with one saltspoonful of salt and dash of pepper.

Add the sauce, mix well together, form in small balls, dip In beaten egg, then In corn meal or crushed vermicelli and fry in deep fat. Cleaning Mixture. For people who prefer to clean their own white gloves, laces and neckties I thi following recipe will do the work well. Choose a clear day and after cleaning hang on a line two hours or more. If the fluid looks quite dis colored rinse in a little clear gasoline. Add the following Ingredients to one gallon of gasoline and keep In a large glass bottle, labeled "cleaning": One ounce alcohol, one-half ounce bay rum, one-half ounce spirit of ammonia, one ounce chloroform, one-half ounce sul phune ether, one-half dram borax. Whitening Paste for Freckle. Sixty grains of salicylic acid, four ounces of bay rum. Apply night and morning with a soft cloth or spougn. This lotion soon produces a slight roughness of the skin, which should te subdued by the use of glycerin or larch. This may also be tried In cases of obstinate freckles: Three ounces of lactic acid, four ounces of glycerin, one ounce of rosewater. This Is to be gently applied by means of a camel's hair brush.

My plan Is to have the legislature create a state banking board compos ed of the governor, the state bank ex aminer and the state treasurer. Let this board be vested with authority to collect a tax of 1 per cent (or what ever amount is deemed sufficient) ou the total dally average balances of deposits In the banks of the state. Put this money in the state treasury to be known and used as a liquidation fund. Then when a bank fails let the state treasurer pay the depositors of that bank dollar for dollar. The state bank examiner can then take over, the af fairs of the defunct bank. I would advise that the various state and national banks should first "give their consent to be taxed, be fore the money is collected into the state treasury, and not compel any bank to pay the tax. I believe the con servative and safe banks of the state would willingly pay their share of the liquidation fund, and the bank that failed or refused to guarantee Us de positors under the law would have to take the consequences. If, after the first annual tax was levied and col lected, there were no bank failures for a number of years, then there would be no further assesments made. But if several banks should fail the first year, require the associated banks to make the loss to depositors good by contributing their share to the Btate fund. This law In operation would restore absolute confidence and brine into circulation millions of dol lars that are now hoarded away be cause the people are afraid to trust their money to the banks under the present system. I believe the bankers and depositors will all agree with me that this hoarded money should be In the channels of trade, I shall now attempt to show by facts and figures that a depositors' security law would be a good thing, not only for the people, but the bankers as well. The official report of State Bank Examiner Steele, or Oregon, shows that on August 22d, 1907, the 55 national banks and 111 out of the 134 state and private banks had on de posit, in round numbers, $05,000,000. Twenty-three state and private banks made ho report. This was shortly be fore the panic started last fall. . On December 3, four months later, the bank examiner made another report and found only $57,000,000 on deposit The depositors had withdrawn $8,- 000,000 in this short period of time. As a result of these heavy withdraw als several banks In Portland were compelled to close their doors, not withstanding the fact that some of them were on a good banking basis. A depostors' security law would have saved these withdrawals, and the bus ines interests of the Btate would not have been crippled as they were dur ing the famous "holiday season." ; Let us suppose, for example, that a tax of 1 per cent, should be levied on the banks on a basis of $65,000,000 of deposits. Then we would have $650, 000 In the state treasury as a liquida t;on fund Suppose that the bankers TO FORGED (SET TO Graves & Co., Compelled to Vacate Present Quarters Owing to Exor bitant Demands 2n Rent Entire Stock of sheet Music, Talking Machines. Musical Instruments, Etc., to be closed out at DEPOSITOR'S SECURITY LAW. Mr. Dlxon Propose to Tax th Peo ple' Money In the Bank of Oregon. CAUBY, Or., March 1C (Editor of the Enterprise.) If I am not en croaching on the space in your valu able paper. I shall request permis sion to present to your readers the great good that would accrue to the people of Oregon by the enactment of a depositor's security law, protecting depositors against loss of their mone; In Insolvent banks. There is now a general demand for measures that will better protect the Interests of the people as opposed to the cornoratkum and the money power, and the de mand for a depositors' security law Is the outgrowth of this sentiment 1 believe, however, that there are too many money-made senator and representative in congress to pass a national law at this time, and the proper thing for the people to do Is to take the matter up through their state legislatures. Then if congress passe the law the natlomtl statute can supersede the state laws on the subject and in the meantime the peo ple will have protection without wait- had this $8,000,000 which has been withdrawn, and which so far as Is known, is still hoarded away, loaned Out at the legal rate of 8 per cent per annum. Their Interest would ' be $640,000, or nearly the entire amount that would be required of the banks to support a liquidation fund, based on a tax of 1 per cent, on $05,000,000 of deposits. This example shows that the Increased circulation that would result from the passage of such a law would'provide for the liquidation fund by increasing the earning capacity of the banks. It is almost Impossible to negotiate loans from the banks now with gilt edged security. A glireat many of your readers know this to be true. The banks are afraid to turn loose of their money and the de positors are afraid to put their money In the banks. Our present money stringency is not due so much to the scarcity of money as to the lack of public confidence. A depositors' security law is in ef fect In Oklahoma and as a result the banks are overflowing with money. The people of Kansas and adjoining states are taking their money to Okla homa banks for deposit, and the Kan sas bankers are so alarmed over the situation that they have petitioned their governor to call a special session of the legislature to pass a depositors' security law In order to keep Kansas money In Kansas banks. j With a tax of 1 per cent, a bank having $25,000 of the people's money would be required to put $250 into the state treasury, and this is a very small amount Indeed compared to the great benefit that would follow both to the bankers and the depositors. The banks demand security before letting a dollar out of the bank. Why should not the people demand securi ty before putting their money in the banks? The national banks can pay meir snare or the liquidation fund af ter having secured permission from the comptroller of the currency. I Bhould be glad to hear from other readers of your paper on this subject, as I believe It Is one of the greatest Importance. It is within the nower of the people to have laws more In their favor If they will only demand them at the ballot box. GEORGE W. DIXON. once. The most drastic price cutting ever known.

It is doubtful whether a combination of unforseen circumstances ever necessitated such drastic measures as confront Graves & Co. at the present moment.
