"When I emerged from the hopefulness of the west I passed through a wall of pessimism Into the gloom of the east," said Samuel Hill, president of the North western Home Telephone Company, and good roads advocate, on his re turn from a trip to the Atlantic coast. Continuing, he added: "If the currency bill passes I look for a great era of prosperity. In Philadelphia I talked with the repre sentative of 27 large cotton manu factories and he said that the new tariff was not affecting the cotton trade and that large orders were com ing from China." Hill would make no comment on the proposed divorce of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Western Union Telegraph Company, simply saying: "The mat ter is entirely in the hands of the government and no doubt will be worked out satisfactorily." league Social at Talent. The Epworth League of the M. E church held their monthly social at the home of Miss Edythe Tryer. The evening was spent in various kinds of games, in which all joined most heartily. Later Miss Tryer, assisted by Miss Agnes Lester, served cake and banana frappe. Those who en joyed the evening were Rev. and Mrs. Reames, Misses May Smith, Agnes Lester, Callie Vogell, Margaret Ames, Ona Maxon, Alice Vandersluis, Wln nlfred Lester and Edythe Tryer; Messrs. George Etott, Jay Witherow, George Jeffries, Carl Lely, Kenneth King, Carl Layman, Charles Tryer, Ray Coleman, Ava Holt, Everett Vance, Ted Seaman and Clarence Jefferies. Justly Indignant. An attorney was cross-examining a witness: "You say you left Boston on the 16th?" "Yes, sir," replied the witness. "And returned on the 28th?" "Yes, sir." "What were you doing in the in terim?" "I never was in such a place," he replied, indignantly, with heightened color. Pittsburg Chronicle. Hungarian Partridges. Eighteen pairs of Hungarian part ridges were shipped to the Von der Hellen ranch at Wellen, which has been made a state game preserve. These birds were imported- from Germany and their native environ ment is about the same as in the Rogue River Valley. They roost in trees and are said to furnish excel lent sport. The birds were brought down by Warden Telford. Confederate. Mr. and Mrs. Flatty were having quite a brisk little quarrel. "You have no regard for my feelings," as serted Mr. Flatty. "You treat me worse than you do your dog!" "How can you say such a thing?" demanded Mrs. Flatty. "I do noth ing of the kind. I never make the slightest difference between you!"

You generally have gluten in your flour, as I said, and the right pro portion depends on the miller and his chemists. This gluten goes to build muscle anil nerve, and it is sur prisins; that Americans do not real ize the food value of flour of which one cent's worth will furnish more energy to the body than ten cents' worth of the finest beef. This is not a guess, by anv menus- thelnstrn. ment called the salorimeter, or heat meter, which is one of the most ac curate and delicate of scientific de vices, tells the comparative heat values of different foodstuffs most reliably. This energy value, of course, is entirely distinct from the repair substance, gluten, which the body is in constant need of. Food must not only give the heat to the body, but it must serve to repair waste tissues and weary muscles; and in order to do these two things, food should be as easily digested as possible. That is tho reason why white flour is best because there is no fibrous material to prevent its rapid digestion and absorption by the body. But, tuough American flour is the best in the world, why is America half way down the list of nations In the per capita consump tion? Canada stands first can it be that you American mothers and housewives don't know the value of your greatest product? Bread will give you more nourish ment than anything else so give the children all the bread they want, and put jam on thickly to make them eat it the more. It will give them as much energy as will the same amount of money expended in eggs. Then look at the cost of living. It has sent meat, fruit, milk, eggs and veg etables soaring in price, but at pres ent flour is lower than for five years past. Don't you think you could adjust yourself to using more flour, more of the cheaper and nutritious white flour .and less of the expensive food stuffs which cost so much and give so little in comparison? The people of Europe have found that they had to do this, even though their flour was inferior; they have made their bread the staff of life in good earn e6t, and you American mothers ought to wake up to what you're missing. You depend on the baker for the quality of your bread, perhaps and you should not do it. The housewife is realizing more and more every month that the markets of the coun try will give what she demands if she demands it. Just remember that Really, it would be just as easy for you to find out what kind of bread you are getting, and to get only good bread, as it is for you to take any thing the grocer hands out. And think of the value to your family why more than anything else It is the plain, simple duty of the mother of today to know what she Is putting into her children's mouths! You ought to bake your own bread your mother did it and you can do it If you would, Mrs. House wife. The flour is better, and the process of bread-making is better un derstood, and your home appliances are inestimably finer; don't you think you might try it, for your own and your children's sakes, if for nothing else?

One cup of brown sugar and f ta blespoons of cream, boiled together for 5 minutes and stirred until cool makes a rich filling for a cake.

Mm MMm m try this: Put a piece of white lawn , or any white material about an inch I wide and long enough to reach around the pie and wet in warm wa-. ter. Press firmly around the edges and the juice will never run out. To Sugar Crullers. An easy way to sugar crullers or doughnuts after frying is to put them in a paper sack with a few table spoonfuls of sugar in the bottom and shake carefully. HOrSKHOLD HINTS. Testing llookti and Eye. To avoid using hooks and eyes that will rust, I always test them with a magnet. If they can be drawn by the magnet they contain steel and should not bb used on anything that requires laundering. To String I!cadn. When stringing beads or when sew ing on to any material, always have the thread well waxed. It will be stronger and easier to work with. To Remove Ink From Cloth. Hydrogen peroxide will remove Ink from all kinds of cloth and wearing apparel without changing its color. Take a medicine dropper and fill with the hydrogen peroxide. Satur ate the cloth over the Ink stain. Sometimes it requires several applica tions. Lay the goods in the sun or air after each application. Sick Headache. Sick headache is nearly always caused by disorders of the stomach. Correct them and the periodic at tacks of sick headache will disap pear. Mrs. John Bishop of Rosevllle, Ohio, writes: "About a year ago I was troubled with indigestion and had sick headache that lasted for two or three days at a time. I doc tored and tried a number ef reme dies but nothing helped me until dur ing one of those sick spells a friend advised me to take Chamberlain's Tablets. This medicine relieved me in a short time."
