" 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. ,

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

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. Chop cold macaroni
quite fine, having at least two cupfuls,
and adding two tablespoonfuls of cold
bacon, chopped. 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. If the
skn becomes Irritated or sore, omit
one or two days' treatment

ing for congress to act' In my candi
dacy for the legislature from Clacka
mas county, I have promised the peo
ple that If I am nominated and elect
ed I will introduce the bill at the
next session of the state assembly.
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

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.
