Would PatronIze Old Men.

"If a woman was like horse to the
extent that her age could be told by
her teeth"
She paused and shook her head over
the thoughts that were conjured up by
the suggestion.
"Well?" he said, impatiently, for he
knew that she never wasted her time
in considering practical and other un-
interesting matters.

her teeth" she repeated, "the hand

women aren't"
No" she interrupted, "all women
aren't. The very young whose teeth are
all right, and the very old, who have no
teeth, would be willing to go to them.
But that would be all."-Chicago Post.

ABOUT BITTER MILK.
Cleanliness Will Remove Most of the
Causes Which Produce 1t.

Cleanliness Will Remove Most of the
Causes Which Produce 1t.
Bitter milk has three causes-some,
thing eaten by the cow, advanced period
of CESSATION and pure cussedness. 1t is
not pleasant thing to contemplate,
but there is "a great deal of horse ma
nure eaten by cows. The best way
after regulating the ration is to fence
Off part of the yard, and put the horse
manure in it, or else fence off the cows.
have read that rag weed would cause
bitter milk, but as my COWS would
never eat it cannot say anything from
my own experience on that score.
For the second cause there is no cure
that | am aware of, and the third is al
most as hard to prevent. Briefly stated
in its natural state milk after GER
tain time gets sour because of the action
of certain kind OF bacteria whose bust
ness it is to make milk sour. But if
these bacteria are prevented from get
ting in their work owing to cold wealth
er (they work only in warm weather or
in warm temperature) then nature,
which abhorS even vacuum of bacteria,
Immediately sets another gang of bac-
terra to work whose job it is to make
milk bitter. And if politicians attended
to their job as well as bitter bacteria to
theirs we would be much better off. for
ii takes much work to persuade them to
quit work. The remedy is first to wash
with boiling water every vessel with
which the milk or cream comes in con-
tact, or, better still, put the vessels in
boiling water on the stove for 10 or IS
minutes. This kills off all the bitter
bacteria. Then to get the sour bacteria
to work for few days keep all the milk
at a temperature of 20 degrees and put
little sour buttermik in the cream.
This will give the sour bacteria a
chance to get firmly established. Then
do not let the mix get too cold or it
will all have to be done over agpin. As
two sets of bacteria cannot get along ct
the same time the bitter bacteria give
up the job.-National Stockman.

be demonstrated by the fact that the
counties having the best roads will
maintain them at less cost than the mud
roads, with all their inconvenience,
are maintained in their wretched condi-
tion. The work required by law OF
able-bodied men, together with the
road tax, gives to the road supervisors
of our state the expenditure, in money
and labor, of vast sum. Much of this
is wasted by reason of incompetent
management. The railroad tax for
highway improvement, in some road
districts of our state, is so manipulated
by the road supervisor that the money
inures more to his benefit than the im-
provement of the thoroughfares. In
some instances in our state, broker
age business is carried on, and money
is made out of trafficing in this road tax.
While some of our road laws need re-
forming, the manner of their execution
needs revolution. When competence is
made the test in selecting supervisors,
and taxpayers see that they discharge
their duties, we will find some improve
ment in our highways without addi-
tional taX.-From the Inaugural Ad-

GENUINE IRISH STEW.
How to Make 1t Out of the Food Gen.
orally Thrown Away.

How to Make 1t Out of the Food Gem
orally Thrown Away.
We are not apt to regard the Irish
peasantry as either thrifty or patterns
in any matters of cooking, vet the
cnnny Scotch are no more severe econ
omists than the Irish of the northern
country. The genuine Irish stew is
dish that deserves every praise. It's as
great success in it's way as Scotch
broth of mutton, and it is q culinary
lesson in the use of what people general
ly throw away.
To make this dish the peasant
secures what scraps of meat and bones
he can get for few cents. The pur-
chase is chiefly bone, and the meat is
either beef or mutton, or it may be of
both.
The bone and meat are separated and
the fat is removed. The best way to
make the broth is TO throw the meat
in one kettle and the bones in another,
and cover them both with cold water.
After the contents of the two kettles
have simmered very slowly for one
hour salt is added. The cook now gath
ers any sound vegetable tops, the green
tops of celery, the green leaves outside
the cabbage, which in less thrifty parts
Of the land are the perquisite of the pig.
These are chopped together and added
to the kettle containing the bones, and
simmered with them for the next hour.
For every two quarts of the stew two
small onions cut in slices are added.
When they have simmered half an
hour, six small potatoes, cut in quar-
ters, are put in. When the potatoes
have cooked half an hour, strain the
broth off the bones and chopped vege-
tables, pressing the vegetables hard tn
extract all the pulp and flavor from
them. Thiclen the strained broth with
Il heaping tablespoonful of flour mixed
with a large tablespoonful of butter.
If mutton is used the broth must be
carefully skinned before adding the
thickening. Let the thickening cook
in the stained broth for ten minutes,
stirring it carefully, then pour it in the
kettle of meat, onions and potatoes.
Let the stew simmer a moment or two,
stirring it constantly. Taste it to see
if it needs more salt, add pepper, and
serve at once.
1t is largely pot of luck, depending
upon the vegetables at hand and the
amount of meat it contains; but it is
nutritious, even when it is made largely
of vegetables, and it is always excellent.

WOMAN AND HOME.
CRUSADE AGAINST RUM.
Led by Miss Jessie Alderman, n Woman
of Pluck and Purpose.

Led by Miss Jessie Alderman, a Woman
of Pluck and Purpose.
Saloonkeepers on Chicago's west side
ere squaring their shoulders far bat
tie royal. A modern joan of Arc in
the form of Miss Jessie Il. Alderman,
who has scaled the highest mountains,
explored the depths of the ocean in
diving costumes, hailed passing steam
ers from the masthead and ridden over
land in Iceland 800 miles on horseback,
has begun crusade against Kirg Alco-
hol. She comes to the Fourth Baptist
church of Chicago as special rescue
worker and is probably the first to
carry the work of the Baptist church
into a field hitherto claimed alone by
The Salvation Army slum corps. The
first onslaught will be against saloon
keepers. The latter are nerving them
selves to face the bold invader, but if
Miss Ackerman's past achievements are
taken into account it is probable she
will gain the citadel with the aid of a
telescope organ and her gentle person
ality.
Miss Alderman is known to temper
ance and rescue workers the world
over. 1t is unlikely that among them
may be found another woman with
such history of varied and daring
experiences. When seen at the home
of friend her agreeable manners and
expressive face belied the trying situa-
tio. through which she has passed as
a missionary.
The Fourth Baptist church, of which
Rev. Kittredge Wheeler is pastor, will
experience n change of work and policy
as a result of the work mapped out for
the versatile woman. Miss Alderman
is one of the two licensed women Bap-
tist preachers in the United States and
is pretty well known as lecturer.
Miss Alderman is an American, but
has devoted most of her life to active
work abroad as a missionary. She is
at present working upon a history OF
her 500 mile ride on horseback through
Iceland. Thirty-one days were con
sumed in the trip, and each had its
quota of picturesque incidents. She
describes the Icelanders as "a people
with touch of melancholy in all theiI
doings and delightfully."- provincial in
customs" 'It is difficult to sleep or

never spent more delightful time than
during my sojourn in Iceland"
In China and India Miss Alderman
traversed the countries in native cos
tune. Her descriptions of the preva-
le nee of the opium habit in those coun-
Il les are narrowing, to put il mildly.

I .icts devoted to these dens In New

If them may be found in Chicago. In
! foreign couEtries-India and China
the number of people cnslaved by
victims of strong drink. The effect is
just as inevitable and ruinous."
Among the many daring incidents in
which Miss Alderman has figured is
her descent to the bottom of the sea
near the coast of India. Arrayed in the
t1appings of woman diver, probably
the only suit of the kind in existence
and obtained for the occasion from an
expert, Miss Alderman viewed the
beauties of the deep and helped o bring
up a number of pearls. On her way to
India on the high seas, while on board
a steamer, she climbed n mast and,
clinging to the swaying top, waved a
greeting to passing ship. On the same
journey abroad Miss Ackerman was a
passenger on Chinese junk, and dur
ing high storm at sea was swept over
board. Her presence of mind and some
sailors from n Turkish man-of-war
saved her. Australia was also the
scene of ssmc of Miss Ackerman's most
active labors. She has twice encir-
cled the sldbe. When in Africa she
was prostrated with sickness. Lady
Henry Somerset heard of her condition
sent for her and brought her back to
health in her castle, near London.
Miss Ackerman is a good platform
speaker and her manner is sincere
She is determined to carry on an active
campaign on Chicago's west side, with
the Fourth Baptist church as her sup
port.

Good roads are essential to our high
est development socially, intellectually
and financially. Many counties in our
state, actuated by commcndable spirit
of progress, are rapidly improving the
highways. In the near future some of
our counties will have a complete sys-

thoroughfares in these counties, hav-
ing been graveled and received by the
county commissioners, are kept in re-

care of the main thoroughfares, is en-
bled to concentrate the labor and tax
at his disposal upon the lateral roads;
