Most Wholesome Food and Should lie
Eaten Every Day.
1.-THE beauty and wholesomeness of
the salad should commend it to every
American housekeeper," writes Mrs. S.
T. Rorer in the Ladies' Home Journal.
al do not refer to those highly sea-
soned combinations of hard-b boiled eggs
and mustard, but to dainty dinner or
luncheon salads made with dressing
of olive oil, few drops of lemon juice
and light seasoning of salt, garlic and
pepper.
"The salts necessary for the well be-
ing of our blood are bountifully given
in these green vegetables. Then, too.
II is a pleasant way of taking fatty
food. All machinery must be well
oiled to prevent friction, and the Won
derful human engine is not an excep-
ton to the rule. Look carefully to it
that you take sufficient fatty food.
1.-THE Americans do not use enough
oil to keep them in perfect health.
While butter is served in some families
three times day, and is better than
no fat, its composition is rather against
it as compared to a sweet vegetable oil.
Fats we'll digested are the salvation of
consumptives, or those suffering from
any form of tuberculosis. For these
reasons a simple salad composed Of any
green vegetable and a French dressing
should be seen on every well-regulated
table 365 times a year. Those who live
out of town can obtain from the fields

lambs quarters for the cost of picking

salad, cheese and wafer are served just
before it, to prick up the appetite that

a large dinner the salad is usually
served with the game course"

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.
A Stirring Example shown by Il

IxIondiie Developers.
The energy with which the invasion
of the Klondyke gold fields is being
pushed is illustrated in the enterprise
of a New York company, representa-
tives of which are now on the way
thither, carrying material with which
a cable road from Dyea to Lake Lin
dermann is to be constructed, and
which the engineer in charge says Will
be in operation five days after his ar
rival, reducing the cost OF transporta-
ton 60 per cent. At the same time
representatives of a Montana live STOCK
syndicate will be pushing forward q
new trail through the Stickeen river
valley, setting a large force OF men
at work upon the construction OF a
road over which stage lines Will pass
in the coming spring. When that time
arrives and the Yukon ice breaks up,
the immense river will be crowded
with all sorts of craft, bearing men
and material to the new Eel Dorado
and bringing back the wealth which
it pours forth in such flowing gol-
den tide. That far northern region,
so recently brought within known
geographical limits, is certainly going
to be opened to the worlds enterprise
and occupancy in the promptest and
most energetic fashion. So far as the
production of precious metals is con-
cerned Alaska is certainly stepping to
the front in the most magnificent man
ner. One of these days Russia will
begin to be sorry that she ever sold

Not every one who looks at the dial

interchangeable Mnage Tickets.

A new form of thousand-mile ticket,
the result of careful consideration and
discussion between the railroads and
their principal patrons, will be placed
on sale September l at all important
Michigan Central ticket offices. The
ticket is sold for $50, with rebate
to the purchaser of $40 when used up
in compliance with it's conditions, and
is accepted on all the lines in the Cen
trail Passenger association, forty-llve
in number, covering a vast extent Of
country. No mileage book has yet been
devised so acceptable to all parties
concerned and so advantageous to the
holder. Every one who is likely to
travel a thousand miles in year
should avail themselves of it, and
should consult the nearest Michigan
Central ticket agent.

playing near to her was a child about
a year and half old. Both mother

but both had the same soft features,
gentle blue eyes and golden hair.
The woman was Marjorie AMMAN

happiness gone out of her face, which

eagerly and greeted him by his Chris

Caussidiere uttered an angry excla-
nation, and threw himself into an
armchair.
1.-The old woman had better take
care" he cried. Nearly a week has
now passed and she has not replied to
my note-that is, to yours. And we
want money Internally, as you know.
Marjorie sighed, and her eyes filled
with tears.
"Why are you crying?" demanded
her husband, sharply. Because you
have an unnatural mother, who would
rather see you starve than share her
wealth with you, or with the child?"
mo, no, it is not that" answered
Marjorie. miss Hetherington has
been very good. She has given us a
great deal already; but we require so
much, and am sure she is not so rich

"She is miser, tell you," returned
Caussidiere. What she has sent you
is not sufficient for an ordinary semp-
stress wage. She had better take
care II she offends me, look you, l

world"
At this moment there was knock
at the room door, and the man who
had admitted Caussidiere entered with
a letter.
"a letter for madame" he said.
Marjorie took the letter, and, while
the man retired, opened it with trem-
bling hands Her husband watched
her gloomily, but his eye glistened as
he saw her draw forth bank order.
"Well?" he said

rising and taking it from his wife's
hand. Thirty pounds! 1t is not
much. Well, what does the old wom-
an say?"
Il have not read the letter"
LET me read it," he said, taking it
from her and suiting the action to the
words.
It was q longish communication.
Caussidiere read it slowly, and his face
darkened. especially when he came to
the following words:
"If you are unhappy, come back to
me. Remember your home is always
here. Oh, Marjorie! my BARN! new
err forget that! 1t is a mothers heart
that yearns and waits for you! Come
back, Marjorie, before it is broken al

Caussidiere tossed the letter on the
table.

you are unhappy" he said with a
sheer. "In the future I must see all
your letters, even to the postscripts.
And she begs you to go back to Scot

District Police to-day received the opinion of At
torney- General Knowlton in relation to the Birds
Feathers law passed at the last session of the
legislature. The Attorncy-Gcnerars opinion prdc
tcally renders the law imperative. The Chief
wished to know the effect of the law on birds killed

the having In possession or the wearing OF the
body or fea hers of birds taken or killed without

The decision will cause Joy among the milliners
and other dealers in feathers The act has been
Interpreted in mary ways. some people having
gone 50 far as say that practically all kinds Of
feathers were prohibited no matter where the
birds were killed. There have also been extrava-
CANT warnings Of the danger Of arrest Of women
when they appeared on the streets wearing feath-
ers in their bonnets The Attorney-General's eX-
planaton Of the law indicates that there is a
wide margin OF .afety. as it would be difficult TO
prove that A particular bird used In the making OF
a hat was killed II this State although there may
be thousands of birds just like 1t in Massachu-
setts
Now that the subject is aAan before the public,
the text OF the law will prove interesting 1t IS
