BEATS THE RECORD.
The County Fair a Hum
mer and SURPRISES
All Previous
Ones.
rIOre Exhibits and Bigger Crowds
Than Ever BefOre.-Rev. L.
w. Beattie'S Address.
1.-The Races.

The county fair at Garden City
closed Thursday after two or three
most successful days. Both in the
number Of exhibits and in point of at
tendance the fair has surpassed all
previous records. AS was expected,
yesterday was the great day, and the
fortunate fall of rain in the morning
added greatly to the pleasure of the
day by laying the thick dust of the
previous two days, while the sun was
so well obscured by the smoky condi-
tion of the atmosphere that the day
was pleasantly cool. Better cOndi-
tions could not have been selected,
and the people of all parts of the
county turned out by hundreds and
thousands. Almost every township
in the county was represented by large
delegations, and every tree and fence
did service in holding teams that were
unable to get into the barns. The
crowds came early and stayed all day.
The attendance from MankatO was
not as large as it should have been,
but this was occasioned by the threat
ening weather in the morning. How
ever, faces from the city were thickly
sprinkled among the crowds.
The first day, Tuesday, was devoted
almost entirely to the making of en-
tries and getting things in good work
ing order. Wednesday the sight seers
began to flock in, and the gate receipts
to climb up. The attendance on that
day was about 1000.
Yesterday was the final day and the
attendance reached fully 1000. There
were $50 single tickets sold, and 265
membership tickets, each emitting
four persons to admittance. There
were over 200 admitted on exhibitors
and employees tickets, etc. This is
the largest attendance that was ever
reported at any fair at Garden. City,
and the little town was fairly sub
merged with people. The attendance
on the second day was also greater
than ever.
We are Informed by officers of the
association that the receipts will eX-
coed the expenses trifie, or at least
not fall below, and the fair is there
fore a financial success.
The premiums will be paid in cash,
a hundred cents on the dollar. The
officers will meet about Oct. 1st, and
the premiums will be paid Immediate
ly after that time.

How 10 Prepare
EXCELLENT Bread
Mrs. ROrer's Practical Talk at the
Philadelphia Food Exposition.
THE DANGER IN THE BREAD PAN
Dyspepsia and Insanity Are in Many
Cases Caused by Bad Bread, Mrs. Ro.
rer Says-Rcccipts That She Gave
Her Recommendation.

Mrs. Rorer delivered the following ad-
dress, recently, on bread making at
the Philadelphia Food Exposition:
"Houseworl," she said, "is the easiest
work in the world when thoroughly
understood, and any woman who has
no more than ten or twelve people to
cook foChas her lines cast in very pleas
ant places, but l do not mean a cook
who does not mix brains with cooking
and runs down cellar fifteen times to
make one article. To make Boston
brown bread take one cup of cornmeal,
one cup of rye meal and one cup of
whole wheat flour. Mix all together
and add one teaspoonful of salt. Mix
half cup of molasses and two cups
of either sour milk or buttermilk, and
dissolve one tablespoonful of soda in
two tablespoonfuls of water.
you use soda because molasses con-
tains acid, but If the molasses should
be deficient in acid add little baking
powder. A good baking powder is
nothing but an acid and an alkali, no
matter in what form it comes. Take q
brush and grease the inside of the mould
carefully with melted butter and pour
in the batter. Put the lid on, tie it down,
put in boiling water and boil continu-
ously for five hours. Let it stand in the
water until cold. Warm in an oven be-
fore using"
Importance of Details.
ITO make a Vienna loaf, said Mrs.
Rorer, take half pint of boiling wa
ter and pour into 1t half pint of milk,
When lukewarm add half teaspoonful
of salt and one yeast cake, dissolved.
| 1t is important that the yeast should be
fresh and in perfect condition. To test
an yeast cake see that it is quite firm and
| and solid. 1t should be devoid of any
odor except that of yeast. A single
yeast cake contains 10000 times as
many yeast germs as cup of brewer S
or home made yeast. 1t is possible to
make eight or nine loaves of bread from
one cake of yeast when it would require
several cupfuls of home made yeast to
do the same work.
CAS- rule, the yeast plant is sthorough-
ly killed by baking, but 1t is not always
so, and that accounts in a large measure
for flatulence and incipient symptoms
of dyspepsia sometimes felt after eating
q meal, If the yeast germs are not
killed in the baking the bread Is not a
healthy food. If the germs are not all
killed bread soaked in water and kept
in warm place for twenty-four hours
will turn to yeast"
How to Make 1t White.
add sufficient flour to make dough
Knead the mass constantly until the
dough is soft and elastic. Use as little
flour as possible in the kneading, to
prevent the bread from becoming hard
and dry after baking. 1t is the knead-
ing that 1t makes 1t soft and elastic. II
very white bread is wanted, pounding
the dough while kneading 1t should be
resorted to, as a good pounding will
make the bread ten shades whittier. Put

Why Chinese Have
Been HdmiIiafed
Superior Discipline of the Japanese
Troops Is Vividly Illustrated.
CHINESE MEN AND METHODS
Rev.iW. W. Shaw, NJ. A., of Archibald, Pa.
Graphically Describes Some Personal
Impressions of China, from Which
lie Has Recently Returned.

"Out of sight, out of mind" is an old
ndage, and a true one. If instead of
China and Japan, Canada and the
United States, or even England and
France, were at war, a much keener in
terest would be taken in the struggle
But it is hard for one to be deeply in
terested in that which is going on at the
other side of the world, between two
comparatively unknown nations, and
in an unknown country. True it is,
one-half of the world knows little of
the other half.
The present war arose on account Of
Korea. China declared she had an au-
thority, dating back many centuries,
over Korean affairs; but this Japan dis
puted. The Hermit nation" as Korea
was called, has latterly been opening to
outside influences; and Japan, amongst
others, has taken advantage of this to
enlarge her trade. China, however,
with her stolid conservatism and over
weening conceit, objected to Japan's
advances, and constant friction led to
open rupture. Lying between the Kor-
can peninsular and the northern part of
China is Manchuria. Under this name
are comprised three provinces-Feng-
tienor Shing-King in the south, Kirin in
the middle, and Tsitsihar in the north.
For many centuries the southern prov
1nce, Fengtien, has been subject to Chi
nese control; and since 1914, when the
Manchus gained the upper hand in
China, all Manchuria has come directly
under the government of Pekin; and
any outward difference there is between
1t and any part of China proper is being
rapidly lost.
II Is Populous Province.
The population of Manchuria, accord
Ing to the latest estimate, is about 20
100000, more than half of this being in
'Fengtien, the southern province: Will,
the area is over 100000 square miles
On the east Fengtien is bounded by tn,
river Yalee, which divides Manchurit
from Korea; on the south by the Gulf O
Liao-Tung; on the north by the prov
ince of Kirin, and on the west by Mon
Solia, except at Shan-hai- where
the Great Wall ends, and China prope
begins. The capital of the provinc
of Fengtien is Moukden, q large double
walled city, with population of owe
25O,OOO. Next to Pekin, this is in som
respects the most important city in tn
Chinese empire, from the fact that /
was the original home of the reignin,
dynasty. Every state document il
PelSin must have a duplicate deposite,
in the archives at Moukden. One o
the only public roads of which Chin
can boast is the great highway fron
Moukden to Pekin, a, distance of so
miles.
1t will then be seen that If Japan wer
TO advance overland from Kore
towards Pekin, her first object wou
be to occupy Port Arthur, and then pre-
ceed against Moukden, and thence alon
the great highway to Pekin. The frs
is now an accomplished fact After
stubborn resistance, Port Arthur ha

and half to three hours. Divide it in
to two loaves and mould each into a
long round loaf Put in CREASED vi
emma bread pan and stand in moder-
ately warm place for one hour; then
bake in a quick oven for thirty min
utes."
'To make corn bread" said the lee
turer, "stir one cup of white corn flour
into half pint of boiling water. Add half
a teacupful of milk and halfa cup of cold
water, and beat with paddle until
smooth. Add half a teaspoonful of salt
and one yeast cake, dissolved into two
tablespoonfuls of water. Add sufficient
wheat flour to make a dough; knead un-
til softand elastic; then stand aside for
three hours until light Mould into two
loaves and put into square pans that
have been creased, and let stand for one
and one-haif hours, after which bake
for one hour"
White Bread Denounced.
The nextrecipe was for making "whole
wheat bread" "Hygienists," she said,
"dislike white bread, because it has
been robbed in large part of it's nutri-
tious qualities" She rather startled
her audience by declaring it was no
mean factor IN producing insanity.
White bread also makes people fat,
which is not sign of health at all. 1t is
away out of proportion, the starch and
gluten being in excess of the nitrogen.
White bread is beautiful to look at, but
it is demoralizing to the brain and stom-
ach. A diet of corn bread and whole
wheat bread is far preferable If you
care at all for your health or wish to
live long. White bread as we have it,
is not the staff of life" the ancients
knew, and does not contain the phos-
pilates necessary to Sustain prolonged
brain action. Our mad houses and luna
tic asylums are proof enough.
Continuing she said; "To make whole
wheat bread pour one pint of boiling
water into one pint of boiling milk,
dissolve one yeast cake into two table
spoonfuls of water, add to the liquid
and then add one teaspoonful of salt
and sufficient whole wheat to make a
dough. Knead carefully until the dough
loses all of its sickness, then stand
aside for two and one-half hours until
1t Is double it's bulk, mould the dough
into four loaves and put them into
square creased pans, stand aside fo1
one hour and then bake for one hour in
a moderately hot oven."
