ing Of Western subjects which are
almost all the work Of Western
writer's. To say that the contents
of this number do not compare
favorably with the Eastern maya
zines is to belle what we have
been saying for years-that the
West contains literary talent fully
equal to any country. 1t has been
impossible for western writers, with
but few exceptions, to get recogni-
ton by Eastern publishers. Every
journalist and literary man knows
there is ample room for several
good Western magazines. Indeed
it has been the money of the WesI

up the great magazines Of the East.

AN EXACT COPY.
The Proposition Submitted to Council by
the Old water Company.

the Old Water Company.
Many citizens have approached the
officials of the Shenandoah Water and Gas
Company, asking them why their company
does not make some proposition to the
Borough Council looking to the settlement
of the existing trouble. Under these
circumstances it is deemed wise to rspublish,
for the benefit of those of our citizens who
may not have read it, the proposition
submitted by the old water company,
The following is an exact copy as presented
by the company to the Borough Council;
SHENANDOAH, PA, MAY 5, 1892.
To The President and Members Of The Borough
Council:
We hereby reassure you and the public at
large that our offer heretofore made was given
in good faith. We hereby repeat the propo-
sition, viz: Tha the Water Company will
cancel the Judgment obtained in the suit
against the Borough, pay the costs Of suit and
waive its right to claim for water supplied the
Borough for fire purposes for the past two
years, and give the Borough free water for fire
protection; provided, the Borough abandons
the proposed new water works, and that an
agreement to that effect be entered into. The
foregoing statement having been read and dis
cussed, it was unanimously adopted by the
Directors Of said company.

DOMESTIC science Lends a Hand.

There is another new and important
factor in cooking. Many articles need a
crisp touch, or something to make the
other ingredients more harmonious, and it
is not every cook who can use butter of the
best quality for all cooking. 1t is right
here that the danger lies. The housekeeper
thinks she annot afford the best grade of
an article, and yet fancies she mus have
that article at all hazards.
Lard and pork have been stsndbys SO
long, and there are soHmsny places where
they seem to be necessary, that their quail
ity is important. Still under the very best
possible conditions the grease is unhealthy,
and itslfsults cannot be overlooked; in fact,
people who are at all sensitive cannot eat
food containing these ingredients.
Cottolene is q preparation which comes
into the market to meet just this need. The
suet, is the anne consistency as lard, and
looks like: it except in color, which is
creamy.
Cottolene is delicate in preparation, is
used in place of lard or butter in cooking.
For frying it is unsurpassed, as a rich
brown color is easily secured. There lie not
the least suggestion of extra fat, but a crisp
fine finish, veryIpleasing in fish, cakes, fried
cereals, oysters, or CLANS.
A popularity OF this preparation is thai
while food seems rich there is no fatty taste
to disturb the digestion, and for this reason
IL has been very popular wherever used,
The popularity of Cottolene is due to the
skillful handling and presentation of a new
element in kitchen economy, by firm o.
large resources, which offers only the puresi
and beet for home consumption. This firm
is determined to maintain a high standard
in the interest of their customers, and th'
pure food laws of which they are firm ad-
herents.-Mrs. Marion A. Mcbride il
