I'VE. the friends Of Temperance and

10 arrest tie sIre"d Of int" importance IN
this community. and 20 impress on our
people the importance Of demanding that
our elections shall be- conducted on honest
principles. and insisting on higher
standard Of representative character in
politics. With these objects in view We
recommend the adoption Of the following:
Il We deprccate the methods resor,ed
to by candidates and political managers
as demoralizing in their tendency ana cal
culated to place the whole machinery
of government in the control of unscru-
pulous wire-workers ana subservient
Office holders To promote honesty in
elections We demand that all the officials
in charge Of the polls shall be men of
undoubted integrity.
''2 In view Of the cOrruptinE influence
Of elcctng to representative Office men
whose private habits are vicious and cali
culated To inculcate immortality among
those whose flare should be our chief
aim and concern. We. as Christian men,
have determined at this time, when there
are no candidates in the field, to admonish
those who manage political affairs that
We are resolved 10 vote in our general
elections for no person whose private life
cannot bear the test Of public scrutiny.
49, Recognizing the liquor traffic as the

AN ELEVATED CHICKEN FARM.
Raising Broilers In the Third story of .
City building.

People passing the Realty block
recently have been attracted by n
novel sight in the window OF one OF
the vacant storerooms. says the Ana
conda (Mont) Standard. In a shallow
wooden box less than three feet square,
their doevny bodies in constant motion
and their shrill pipings sounding even
through the glass. are seventy-two
chickens, apparently as happy as II
they were in a barnyard under the
care of bustling hen. The box Is o
''brooder" and is the only mother that
the seventy-two fluffy youngsters have
ever known, and in it they have lived
for the week that they have been
alive. Prompted by curiosity a re-
porter sought out Mrs Chiids, the
landlady of the building, TO learn IL
possible whether or not she intends 10
start a poultry ranch in a three-story
brick block in the city, and If she ia
to learn how ske proposes 10 run it.
Mrs. Childs demonstrated very easily
that she knows what she is doing, and
that she can do II successfully. She
has started 20 raise broilers for the
market, and intends 70 DO It in her
own block. Mrs. Childs' apartments
are on the third story. and in one OK
her rooms she has two incu batoTs, one
containing one hundred eggs and the
other two hundred. Here the chick
ems are Matched, and as soon a. they
get the use Of their legs they ara
transferred 10 the broOder and taken
20 the basement, which has been di-
vided into pens Of convenient size.
Here they live in the brooder until
they are two weeks old. when they ara
placed in the pens and allowed To run
about and grow. And how they do
grow IN the warm room, and what =
noise they make with their ineessant
piping When they are eight or nine
weeks old they are ready for market

ITEMS OF INFORMATION.
Which May BE of Value to Housewives and
Mothers.

Foremost among the many table APP
purtenances that please housewifely
taste is the silver pudding dish, with
its porcelain lining, which is sent to
the table with its contents steaming
hot. Besides adding very much to the
attractiveness of the table setting, the
silver pudding dish is of especial value
where the dainty it holds requires TO
be kept well heated in order to tempt
the palate.
The unlucky trick which the sauce
pan lid sometimes has of parting COM
pany with its handle, and thereby be-
by screwing small screweye into a
cork on the inside, forming an admira-
BILE substitute.
Much of the appetizing quality of
fruit depends upon the manner in
which il is served. Cantaloupe, ar
ranged cup fashion upon quantity
shaped dish, each half of the fruit hold
ing tiny pyramid of crushed ice;
grapes banked in ice, or served with
tiny glasses of iced water, in which
they may be dipped if desired, and ber-
ries snugly ensconced within a wicker
basket garnished with fresh green
leaves-all of the modes appeal TO the
tickle warm weather appetite. Finger
bowls and tiny fruit-doylies should
always follow the fruit course.
Some sensible woman gives a sugges-
ton for piece-bag that is more useful
than the usual articles intended for
L 2 = i
and braids The bag is made of any
chosen size and has an interlining.
The outer one is stitched into divisions,
which have on the outside attached
flap a hint of their contents-such as
loop of black braid, bit of tape, scraps
of cloth and other indications-to tell
at glance the contents.
When crabs are boiled and served
whole, the process of removing the
meat is rendered easy by means of a
dainty silver pick, made with one long
prong, the handle ending in small
enameled crab caught in a silver net
ting.
Perhaps the reason your coffee in
seldom good is that the pot in which
1t is boiled is rarely perfectly clean.
Leave this point altogether to the
judgment of your maid and it will be
sadly neglected. To clean the coffee
pot fill it with water and put in piece
of hard soap; set it on the stove, and
let II boil an hour. 1t will be as good
as new.
