LIKE THE PARENTS.
Bows Can Have their coaee NOW.

Bows Can Have their Coffee Now.
When a good healthy boy sits down
tohis breakfast and sees Pa and Ma
have their coffee to dip toast in and
sip, he feels sighted that he can't have
some too. But parents know that it is
really poisonous to children and refuse
them. Postum, the grain coffee made
by Postum Cereal Co., lim., Battle
Breek, Mich, is exactly like coffee in
looks and yet it is made of the health
full grains and is nourishing and fatten-
ing. Boys and girls can drink it every
meal if they like. 1t is simply food OF
the most nourishing sort, but so pre-
pared that it fills the eye of even a
careful expert.
DR.. E. Schoene, 1l76 Milwaukee
Ave, Chicago, says: " am very much
pleased with Postum. It is delicious
drink, and l think preferable to all
similar products, such as Health Coffee,
Malt, etc.
A reliable grocer will never offer a
cheap or weak imitation of a genuine
original article because he happens to
make a little extra profit. But it is
well to observe that when genuine
Postum Cereal Coffee is ordered, that
you get Postum and not a spurious inn
itation offered as just as good.

The COMPANION Calendar j.

1t is said that the expense of making
the " Companion Art Calendar" for
1897 was so great that had it been
published in the usual quantity it
could not be sold for less than one
dollar Four beautiful female figures
are reproduced on four folding pages.
Each figure is Autographed in twelve
colors, being a true reproduction of the
original water-color painting, which
was selected because of its excellence
of design and charm Of color and tone.
The size Of each Of the four folding
pages is I0I by 6 inches.
1t is by far the best piece Of color
work the Companion has ever offered.
Both as a calendar and as gem Of the
photographers art, it is SO attractive
that it becomes a valuable addition to
the mantel or centre table of any room.

Obituary.

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. r. T.. Bassett
passed peacefully away at their home
in Bassett station on Thursday morn
ing, Nov. u.
Deceased was born in Randall, Ke-
nosha county, April Is, 1852. On
Oct. 3, 1876, she was united in mar
riage to Ben Richter, of Wheatland,
and together they went to Brillion,
Wis, shortly afterwards removing to
Long Prairie, Mimi, which has since
been their permanent home.
Several years ago Mrs. Richter was
called to mourn the loss of her COM
panion, being left with three young
children. but with undaunted courage
she continued the business which her
husband had followed, in which they
had made for themselves comfortable
home and maintenance.
About a year ago the health of the
deceased began to decline, and later,
developed into malady which bafflled
medical skill. Her mother spent the
entire summer with her daughter, car
ing for her as only mother can.
AS her sufferings increased and the
vigiIs Of nursing became more impera-
tive and combining, a very dear friend
of the family--a sister of Rebecca
Lodge No. 9, of Long Prairie, Mimi, OF
which the deceased was an honored
member-came to their assistance and
has remained with her friend through a
ong and painful illness.
They hoped that with good care the
invalid might recover; but the nature
of her ills were such that it seemed like
hope against fear. She, too, felt there
was little chance for her recovery and
often expressed the wish that she might
so far recover as to be removed to the
home of her parents, where she might
have the company of father, mother,
brothers and sister alike, and be all
together Late in September, when
they felt it safe to do SO, they brought
her on a cot to their home, where she
was most tenderly cared for by each
member of the household.
Gradually she sank under the raw
ages Of disease till quietly the angel OF
death came to her release.
While it is sad to watch day by day
the fading of loved ones and feel all
human efforts unavailing to keep them
with us, there is still sweet consolation
in the thought that bids us hope for an
unending existence in the life beyond.
The character of the deceased was of
a christian type, enabling her to bear
without complaint the sufferings that
were hers.
The wonderful patience manifested
by her through weary months OF pain,
her thoughtfulness of those in constant
attendance upon her, and her firm, I'M
shaken faith in her Creator, gave evil
dence that she relied upon Him and
was willing to exchange earth for
heaven.
Two daughters. Deborah and Maude,
and young son, Reuben, are left to
mourn the loss of a devoted mother.
Each will be kindly cared for i'll the
home of their grandparents.
The funeral services were held at the
home on Sunday morning conducted by
the Rev. Davidson, of Salem, and the
remains laid to rest in the Mound
Prairie cemetery. The entire family
have the sincere sympathy of many
friends in their bereavement.

Texas.


In the agricultural line, Texas leads
all other states in the variety of its
products. Cotton, corn, and the
cereals grow and are raised in every
section of the state, and in the central
and southern portions sugar cane and
sorghum cane are profitably cultivated.
On the gulf coast two or three crops of
vegetables are raised each year.
Berries are shipped six weeks in
advance of the home crop in the north.
Pears, peaches, piums, oranges, figs,
olives, and nuts all grow abundantly
and can be marketed from two to
three weeks in advance of the Cali
fornia crops. Large quantities Of rice
are now grown.
If the land seeker, the home seeker,
nd the settler desires to secure a

on vastly more reasonable terms; if he
wants more land tocultivate, ii greater
variety of crops To harvest, with pro-
pOrtionately increased remuneration,

correspondingly higher prices; if he
wants milder winters, all the year pas

SUN AS A HAIR DYE.
Sailors Have Light Locks and Luxuriant
Ones.

The latest use to which the sun has
been put is to make it dye human hair.
and on the head of the pretty bathing
girl at that, says the New York Jour-
nal. This fashion began last sum-
mer. A fashionable physician recon-
mended bright sunshine and sea ozone
as the best means of making the hair
lfght-colored, healthy and strong. The
young person for whom this prescrip-
ton was given found IL very efficacious.
The end of the resort season has by
no means caused subsistence of the
fad. Never before were there in New
York so many young women whose
golden hair hangs down their backs
once every day-that is, every sun
shiny day. A queer fact, too, is that
the idea, simple as it is, seems to have
the result of producing the desired eff
feet. 1t is certainly a much more
harmless way of bleaching the hair
than that which requires the use OF
chemicals. 1T seems TO be a very in
telligent idea" said physician, when

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

In making a salad of fish, If you add
q little cucumber pickle, chopped very
fine, to the dish before the dressing is
poured over, you will greatly i'm
prove 1t.
Anything with a meringue over 1t
should be put in cool oven and al
lowed to brown slowly il you wish to
have it light. A strong heat toughens
meringues.
If a bunch of grape leaves are put IN
the brine in which cucumbers are to be
soaked for picking, it will help keep
the cucumbers sound and firm, and OF
good color.
In blanching nut meats, pour over
them boiling water and let it stand a
few moments. Throw over them cold
water and rub them between the
fingers, and the skins will readily come
off.
When the whites of eggs are used,
and the yelks are not required at the
same time, drop the yelhs into a small
little cold water and keep in cool
place.
If corned beef, tongue or ham is left
to cool in the water in which it Is
boiled. the meat will be much better
and more moist. All boiled meats
should be cooked slowly, and never be
allowed to boil rapidly.
II whipped cream is wanted quickly,
and there is no whip churn available,
have the cream very cold, and put it
In glass fruit jar with an alright
cover. Half fill the jar with the cream,
fasten the cover tightly and shake The
jar vigorously.
Use the graceful wild grasses as web
as the cultivated ones for table decora-
tons as long as they can be had. These
grasses come in great variety and are
beautiful and decorative. Foliage also
may be used to great advantage at this
season, and flowers are 10 be had all
