suffer less with Headache. 'sMy wife's

End of the Institute.

The teachers institute closed today
very pleasant and profitable months
session. Though the earlier part OF it
was during the excessive hot weather,
conducive to very languid interest, for
the past two weeks it has been delight
full. The attendance has steadily grown
,and the interest was re aarkable. Those
who have attended th institute throuh-
out have gained the ost, and may con-
'gratulate themselves, whatever has
been the sacrifice. However, those who
have attended only day or two have
gained some ideas which will be of last
ing benefit, and will repay them for the
effort expended.
The institute has been in the hands of
capable instructors and the teachers
have worked with will, making the
long session one which will always be
remembered with pleasure. That they
themselves realize their profit is mani
fest by the unusually long and compre-
hensive vote of thanks which they took
before adjourning.

The Coming Far.

The annual county fair begins this
commence taking an active interest in it
on the part of farmers generally. The
custom is most ancient and honorable
one, designed to promote agriculture
and the prosperity of the nation. In
large measure it. brings producer and
consumer together, cenentIng friend
ship and stimulating industry. In
olden times even monarchs were not
aloof from contributing their share to
the success of the country fair by all
means in their power, giving awards for
productions and even taking part in
the sports. TO this day there are rulers
who till the soil and thus set good ex-
ample to the people they rule. The
custom has survived the ages and even
finds welcome in the most democratic
of countries. Hence country fairs may
indicate prosperity. The more attrac-
tive, lively and meritorious it is, the
more it shows the stable foundation and
perpetuity of the republic.
The Wasco county fair this year is
held subsequent to the state fair. There
should be a liberal display in the art
and agricultural halls. The fruit ex-
hibit especially should be made the very
| finest if it is to show what is the actual
fact, that Wasco county leads the state.
As for the sports, some fine racing horses
are promised for the season. The speed
program is already out.

There is growing demand for house
room in The Dalles. 1t is thought that
when the school season opens, when
many families come in from the country
to give their children schooling, that
houses will be very scarce. Rent, even
at the present time, commands a very
high figure proportionately to other
prices. There is a good opportunity
presented in The Dalles for the renting
of cottages and tenements should more
be built.

Reduction in Railroad Fares.

AS there will be numerous requests
for reduced rates on account of political
meetings during the coming contest, it
has been decided that in order to treat
all parties alike, one fare rate will be
made by the .. e. & N. Co. tor various
meetings of this character.
This of course is intended only for oc-
casions where there is sufficient number
to justify reduction in rates. This is
done SO that there viii be no partiality
in favor of any one party.

Narrower Persian ribbon trimmed the
fronts as far as the side seams, the
top in back and front and the cuffs, and
three perpendicular strips of it showed
at each side of the skirts front breadth
at the top. Tiny gold buttons were
put at the end Of each strip. A silk

Bright lettuce green is used In little

Potatoes have been found In many
trials to be an excellent feed for meat

OF their value for this purpose IL that
four pounds Of tubers are about equal
to one pound Of meal. Some rate them
even higher than this. Their value, ac-
cording to the Orange County Farmer.
however, does not depend upon the
nutrition they contain solely, but upon
the fact that as part of the ration they
tend to keep stock healthy and are an
aid to digestion. No very accurate
data exists as to their value In milk
production. although they used to be
regarded as good milk feed In a gen.
eral way. Some experiments confirm
the old-time view, with the qualiflca-
ton, however, that when fed largely
they lower the quality of the product
to some extent, but a small ration of,
say, FIVE to six pounds day produces
no effect upon quality, and Is valuable
from a sanitary point Of view, and for
the sake Of variety, answering In this
respect to the Office performed by roots
in mixed feeding. While pigs do not
readily eat raw potatoes, or at least
prefer them cooked, cows eat them
with avidity In their raw state.

dishonest and speculative ones WHOSE
speculution turn out badly. The Oft
ener such men are punished and driven
out OF the banking business the better
will II be for reputable bankers. The
law which the Supreme Court has up
held says that II at the time OF re-
ceiving a deposit a banker Is insol-
vent he may, on conviction. be sent TO
the pemtentlary for embezzlement. No
honest man ought to find fault with
such a law. 1t Is true that deposits
are received often by men who know
they are then insolyent, but who do
not intend to embezzle the money.
They hope they win be able to pull
through and that some lucky chance
will make everything all right, and
enable them to pay their depositors.
But 1t Is right that that kind of bank
ing should be discouraged. Banken
who are not spectators ought to be
glad to see 1t discouraged. The law
provides also that the failure, suspen-
sion or Involuntary liquidation Of a
banking concern within thirty days
after the time Of receiving a deposit
shall be prima facie evidence of an at
tempt to defraud. This provision Is
said to be too severe and bank officers
are told that II a sudden panic. dis
astrous fire, or some other unexpected
casualty compels really solvent insti-
tuition suspend they may be sent to
the penitentiary. That Is borrowing
trouble. The ''prima facie evidence
of an intent to defrauti" can be met by
evidence showing the bank was sol
vent the day the deposit was received.
If 1t was, petit juries will not convict,
and grand juries will not indict. If 1t
was not, however, the officers ought
to be punished. AS matter of fact,
in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases
out of thousand bank which fails
was insolvent thirty days prior to the
closing of Its doors, or was doing bust
ness in such a reckless and unbusiness-
like way as to court insolvency. The
law as laid down by the Supreme
Court will send no innocent man to
the penitentiary, but 1t will have a ten
dency to keep out of the banking bust
ness speculative and otherwise dis
qualified individuals, who ought not
to be allowed to throw away other
peoples money with impunity.

How to Co9k Goldfish.

A new and most excellent dish of cod.
fish, invented or discovered by Miss
Bedford, of the New York School of
Cookery, is prepared in the following
way. AS have not the exact formula,
l can only give it to you as it came to
me: Take a good-sized piece Of the fish,
freshen and soften it by soaking in cold
water and take out the bones. Parboil
the fish in milk and season 1t with
white pepper and dash of paprika.
Take from the milk, break into fakes
and put into a saucepan with the juice
of one onion and a large piece Of but
ter, and heat until light brown at the
edges. Add to the fish cupful Of the
meats of boiled walnuts, thicken the
-four in which 1t was boiled slightly
and brown in the oven.
