HOSTESS AND GUEST.

Very Practical Talk In the Interests of
Both-Social Engagements.
"To the hostess who believes in the
amenities of life, the entertainer Of the
short stay or the visit of long duration,
we speak in good faith. When hostess
extends an invitation, the time should be
specified, the hour for arriving, the day of
departure. The habit OF inviting visitor
for any time is for no time, and such an
invitation should never be needed. For u
hostess to neglect her guests Is unpardon-
able, yet to weary them with attention is
also annoying. The art of true hospitality
is to bestow that perfect liberty that in
sures comfort not only to the visitor, but
for the hostess as we'll. For the guest
there should be hours of retirement, and
the well bred woman never overlooks this
fact. That privilege of solitude is very
necessary at times and blessed be the en-
tertainer who understands it., remarks a
plain speaking exchange.
On the other hand, the guest is remind
ed by excellent social authority that an
invitation to n friends house is always a
compliment and should bo SO esteemed
Whether it be for a single meal or for days,
for an informal tea or a ceremonious din
ner, the fact that one Is asked shows that
one is wanted. Some persons hold social
engagements by very tenuous thread
and apparently feel at liberty to modify OF
break them, according to moods and ca
prices but To do this is not good form and
is an indication Of selfish disregard for the
convenience of others. To make thought
full arrangements toward entertaining a
guest, and then, at tho last moment, to
receive telegram or a letter explaining
that the guest is not coming, after all, Is a
common but very disappointing expert
ence. Illness or calamity is of course a
sufficient excuse for alteration OF plans,
but nothing less can be condoned in the
woman who aspires to reputation for
good manners.

This goes along with the recent decis-

shipment of freight, no matter how
little it weighs, for less than fifty cents
as minimum rate. We are getting
tired Of these grinding transportation
extortions. They are unfair, excessive
and burdensome. The idea of the
monopolies seems to be that people
must pay their charges and so they
extort them. Just such injustice COM
pels the people to try to restrict these

The reelection of Congressman
Tawney in this district is a foregone
conclusion. He will have no opposi-
tion in the Republican convention
and will be nominated by acclamation.
The character of the opposition he is
likely to meet at the polls is judged
from the following dispatch which is
floating around in print. 30. J. Kali
stad, of Austin, was in Caledonia Fri
day conferring with ex-Congressman
Harries and other leading Democrats
on the matter of securing the nomi-
nation for congressman in this dis

following among Republicans. He is
confident of his ability to defeat Con-
gresham Tawney, hands down, if he
gets the nomination" Who is Kali

R. C. DUNN, editor of the Princeton
Union, acknowledges that he is can
didate for state auditor on the Repub-
lican ticket and has the promise of
much valuable support. There are
several reasons why Dunn's nomina-
tion would be acceptable to many.
One is that the pine land thieves and
their friends are fighting him. An
other is that the state house ring is
opposed to his nomination. Another
is that Bob is getting pretty practi-
cal idea of the land business of the
state and it's methods of sale. And
still another is that Dunn is capable
man for the position. In fact, it will
be difficult to pick from among the
several candidates, as the whole lot is
made up of worthy men.

THEY had an election of village
officers over at Albert Lea last week,
and the Standard comes out in bold
headlines announcing the results as
follows: 'sBallots tell the story
an exciting election-the largest vote
ever polled in Albert Lea. The total
number OF votes was 1853, and, we be-
lieve, it is the largest ever polled in
Albert Lea, although the total vote is
over S00." Austin had an election Of
a similar character last month and
polled 1,049 votes, but no one made
any special fuss over the size of the
vote or claimed that nearly all of the
votes in the city were polled. But

Prof. Benedict'S Success.

On Monday afternoon an exhibi-
tion of mind reading was given in the
streets by Prof. Phillip Benedict, be-
ing here as advertised, on his third
annual tour. A match box was hid
den in one of Will Hunts pockets as
he stood on the sidewalk in front of
the Farmers National Bank. The
gentleman was then blindfolded at
the hotel, but it didn't take him long
to find the article secreted. Tuesday
afternoon he found the safe in Geo.
Frazee's ~Jewelry store and after
working nearly an hour succeeded in
running the combination and getting
it open. Of course he was attended
by the owner of the safe who kept in
contact with him and concentrated
his mind on what was to be done. At
the hall, as we are informed he did
some things in very creditable man
ner for one with no more experience.
A short time ago he gave an enter
tainment at some town!north of Aus
tin, and some half, dozen railroad
brakemen of that city went up to
have some fun at his expense. But
they missed it. He got them all on
the stage and after working them
he got them to stand in row, the
| first one placing hand on the others
shoulder and SO on to the last one.
Then he let them stand there all the
evening and they couldn't help it.,

NO PHYSIC WITH OUR FOOD.
A Phosphate Baking Powder The
Ory that is DANGEROUS.
From Lippincott's Magazine.

| From Lippincott's Magazine.
| That is dangerous proposition, put
forth by the manufacturers of some of
| the proprietary articles of food, that
their products possess superior whole
someness because they contain a drug
of some particular medicinal property.
Phosphates, alum, lime, arsenic, calo-
mel. etc., have their places as specifics
| for different diseases, and are invalu-
able medical remedies, each in it's
place. The physician, however, who
should prescribe either of them three
| times a day to man, woman: and
child, sick or well, because it was a
remedy for some certain disease,
would receive no practice in any COM
munity.
No one will controvert this state
ment: yet we find manufacturers of
phosphate baking powders claiming
hygienic virtue for their goods because
they carry the phosphate used in
making them "a cheap substitute for
cream of tartar, procured from the
bones of dead animals) into the food,
although we'll aware, as they must be,
of the fact that with the constant
use of such article this drug must
pass into our systems daily, irrespec-
tive of our physical conditions or
requirements, or whether or not we
m av 1,o c,,ffori pr frov,, eo,po o;1p,o,+
wherein the use of such drug would
be positively detrimental. Phosphates
are useful medicaments in certain
diseases; but they should no more be
taken ndiscrlminately day after day,
and without the prescription of a
physician, than arsenic, aconite or
calomel; indeed there are conditions
of the system, particularly with
women, when the prudent physician
would not permit the use of lime
phosphates even as medicine.
The object OF baking powders is not
to provide the body with a medicine,
but simply to vesiculate or make light
the mixture of flour, so as to render it
when baked easy of mastication and
perfectly digestible. Experts in the
business have worked to perfect an
article the should'do this mechanically
without changing the properties or
constituents of the flour. When this
has been done the perfect leavening
agent has been discovered. The
manufacturers of the Royal Baking
Powder have succeeded in this and
make a leavening agent that vesicu-
lates and raises the'loaf most perfectly
and without changing the properties
of the -four. The agent employed
howiver, to produce this result is not
phosphate but the highly refined
cream of tartar, which, the health
authorities agree, renders that powder
perfectly pure and more reliable and
healthful than any other. The recent
official tests show, on the other
hand, that best the phosphate
baking powder makers can do is to
produce an article that is one-third or
more residum or impurity.
We want our food pure; especially
do we not wish to take alum, lime
and phosphates with it at the dictum
OF manufacturers who may find it
cheaper to claim a virtue for the inn
purities than to remove them.
