FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1910 PACTS KIGHT v. icivrut on hikh Alaska Coal Lies Idle. The republican territorial conven tion In session at Juneau, Alaska, adopted a plank for Its platform fav oring home rule when the proper time comes. The convention asks for the division of the territory and opposes conservation as now prac ticed in Alaska, citing the coal lands are being allowed to lie idle while coal Is being Imported from British Columbia and Japan. Resolutions were adopted lauding the admlnlntratlon of President Taft and of Governor Clark. Ed. 8. Orr, of Valdez, was nomin ated as the republican candidate for delegate to congress. The nomina tion was made on the third ballot when Leroy Tozler, of Fairbanks, who had been running a close second to Orr, withdrew his name and threw his support to the Valdez man. Orr was once mayor of Tacoma. Itig Order for Maps. W. P. Wright, M. E., is receiving very satisfactory recognition of his ability as a map maker In a order which arrived a short time ago for the mapping of over 450,000 acres for the Clover Valley Land and Stock Co., and 500,000 acres for the Vineyard Land and Stock Co., In the same state, the headquarters of the corporations being In Utah. The whole order Includes something like 4 0 maps for the former and 60 maps for the latter company, and are made up from field notes and sketches. Mr. Wright Is a fast, accurate and careful workman and the recognition of his ability by the outside public Is very gratifying to him. WOMFX AMI THKIIt WOItK.

Waffles Made of Sour Milk. To make waffles with sour milk, use one and one-fourth cups of. flour, two eggs, a cup of thick sour milk, three tablespoons melted butter, one fourth teaspoon salt and one-half tea spoon soda. Sift together flour, salt and soda, add the yolk of the eggs, beaten and mixed with the sour milk, the melted butter and lastly the whites of the eggs, beaten dry. Have both sides of the waffle irons hot and well oiled: put a tablespoonful icf the mixture into each compart ment and let down the top; when the mixture is baked upon one side, turn jtlie iron to brown the other side. Re- I move the waffles, when cooked, with ,;i fork. Ilome-Made Soda Water. A hospitable housewife keeps on hand some port of refreshing drink for the chance guest and for extra family occasions. A syrup can be made at home and soda water pre pared at any time. To prepare this syrup, boil together, for three mln titeB, two ounces of tartaric acid, one quart of sugar, the juice of one lemon and-three pints of boiling water. When partly cool, beat In the well beaten whites of three eggs into which has been smoothly blended one-hnlf cupful of flour and one half ounce of wlntergreen or other flavor. Tut Into bottles and keep In a cool place. When needed, shake the bottle well and put two table spoonfuls of syrup Into a glass of Ice water, then add, stirring rapidly, one fourth of a teaspoonful of soda. A (JikmI Index. "This house is not an index of my character at all, said a woman whose purse is not commensurate with her desires for beautiful sur roundings. "I love beautiful pic tures and fine books, and the exquis ite effects In color harmony, but I have to live with the things I can afford, and not those I want." The visitor looked about the room. She saw pretty little landscapes in plain frames and copies of famous paintings on the walls, a few books and furniture which was not expen sive, but was well selected. The visitor thought the room an excellent index to the woman's character. Per haps it was not an expression of her longings, but it was an expression of her own real self, because it showed what a woman of fine taste would do with limited means. Washlntr Tiace. In washing lace It is a good plan to pin It to a cushion or a thickly pndded board, pull out all points and edged and fasten them carefully to the cushion or padding and let it re main ntnll dry. Tf a crenmy tint Is desired, rinse the lace In weak tea. Itcnovatlng a lllack Hat. Tf your black hat Is a little worse for wear and the crown has become somewhat loppy through acquaint ance with the spring rains, why not renovate It by dampening the crown with n cloth moistened with water and then pressing dry with a warm Iron? Cover the crown with lilacs, with a pink rose peeping out every now nnd then. The effect Is very nrtlstle, nnd this method of trimming Is fashionable as well as handy In concealing the limp side crown.

Very often this application will quiet nerves belter than an opiate. It Is particularly useful in case of a dull headache. of Missouri convicts average seventy cents a day. If all of this were re funded to the dependent families their lot would be none too pleasant. But the theory is that the prisons must be made virtually self-sustaining. If this Is done, the percentage restored or donated to dependents must necessarily be very small so small In fact that it will form little more than a sentimental chain to bind the husband and father to the home. "But there is another theory. It Is that the average amount paid for the service of convicts Is entirely too small. Most convicts are able- bodied men. It is unreasonable to suppose tliat their earning capacity is not far above seventy cents per day at the present wage scale. If this is true, who Is being defrauded? Not the convict, but the wife and children of the convict, and the state itself. So it may occur to Governor Iladley and those in Missouri and ,other states where the question is being studied in all its bearings, that the problem presented is one which can not be dealt with superficially. If the labor of convicts is being per formed under contract, those profit ing by it should be made to pay somewhere near its full value. -The price of their products has increased from 20 to 40 per cent In the last five or six years, without a corres ponding advance In the cost of manu facture. "Perhaps these contractors will not take kindly the suggestion of a pro posed Increase. If they do not, then let the convicts be put at work on the roads and waterways. Thus em ployed they can earn twice the pres ent wage per diem over and above the cost of maintenance. This, if conserved, would supply a substantial fund for the deserted wives and fatherless children." ONLY 28 KILLED IJY 1910 FOURTH Safe and Sane Celebration Cuts the Accidents Down Almost One-half.

The governor of the state of Mis souri has taken up a movement for the enactment of a law which shall provide for the setting aside of a sub stantial portion tif the earnings of each state convict to be applied to the maintenance of their families. The Woman's Pally, of St. Louis. earnestly supports this movement of Governor llndloy nnd says: "It requires no argument to con vince even the casual students of af fairs that the movement is along ex actly the right line. Look about you. if you are Inclined to doubt its wis dom from a humanitarian standpoint, and recall the tragedies nnd calam ities that have befallen the home af ter the law's heavy hand has de prived It of Its bread winner. The mother and daughters are too often the easy though unwilling prey of the white slavers. And these de stroyers are not always members of an organization. Then there are the boys, forced Into nny occupation which promises pecuniary rewnrd, compelled to give up school, and possibly the home Itself.
