A RELENTLESS FIGHT
Has Been Opened Up Against the
kaleidoscope by the W. G. T. q.


Chicago, March 23-The officers of the
National w. c. T. u. have sent the fol-
lowing circular letter to the governors
of all the states:
To His Excellency, Governor of -,
Honored Sir
900 members of the w. c. T. u of
the United States, We earnestly entreat
to do all in your power to see that bill
is introduced into and carried through
the legislature of your state which shall
prohibit the reproduction by means of
the kaleidoscope or kindred instruments
of the t-FitzsimmonS fight or of
any like exhibition at any future time.
Preparations upon the largest scale
are being made for invading not only
the cities, but the villages and hamlets
of the land with these life-like repre-
sensations of this degrading spectacle.
We feel that if this should be allowed to
go on the influence or the fight upon
the comparative few who witnessed il
in person would be smaller compared
with what would follow this wholesale
exhibition. Especially do we fear its
effect upon the youth of our land as
we'll upon the fathers and mothers.
We have already petitioned President
Mckinley TO use his authority to pre-
vent this in the District of Columbia
and the territories, and we are sending
this letter to the governors of the var
iouS states. May we not hope for your
personal cooperation and earnest in
dorsement?
We learn through the newspapers that
Massachusetts and Illinois have already
introduced bills prohibiting these ex-
hibitions. We trust these are only the
preludeS to great chorus of protests
which shall arise from every state in
the Nation.
In he interest of true citizenship we
have the honor to sign ourselves,
Sincerely yours
FRANCES E. WILLARD

COREAN KING GETS HOME.
He Has Been Hiding Out a Year
Past.

San Francisco, Cal, March 22.-News
from Corea states that the King of Cor
ca has returned to his palace in Zoula
after a years residence in the Russian
legation.
The king fed from his palace through
fear of assassination a year ago and
has been under the protection of the
Russian minister ever since His return
to the palace has long been urged by
the kings subjects, and there was great
rejoicing when he finally decided to
come out from under Russian wings.

Dangers of the Grip.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe, we have yet to
learn of a single case resulting in pneu-
rnonia, which shows conclusively that
this remedy is a certain preventive of
that dread disease. It will effect a
permanent cure Ii less time than any
other treatment. The 25 and so cent

Delicious Tomato salad.

A most delicious tomato salad is
made of raw tomatoes, peeled and
chilled, and cut in thick slices. Mince
fine stalk of white celery for every
slice of tomato; make a dressing of
a saltspoonfuI of salt, half saltspoon-
full of pepper, two wooden saIadspoon-
fuls each of vinegar and oil. This
quantity is sufficient for two heads Of
celery. Dip the slices of tomato in the
dressing and heap each one with the
chopped celery that has previously
been dressed; or peel and chill the
tomatoes, make them into little cups
by scraping out the inside, and fill them
with celery, cut in squares and dressed
with French dressing or mayonnaise.
Serve each tomato cup on a crisp leaf
of paIe-green lettuce.

RARE MRS. sILLToPs.

Her Husband Greatly Impressed by
Her Wonderful Ingenuity.
''You open the drawer in the kitchen
nearest the hall, and on tin pie plate
you will find a steel fork"
That is what Mrs. Billtops said to Mr..
Billtops when he had asked for some
thing with which to wind up the I'M
wound spring in the roller of window
shade. Did Mr.. Billtops find the steel
fork on the tin pie plate in the drawer
nearest the hall in the kitchen? Well,
ask himl He did; and he not only
found it here, but he found it with the
sharp points of its primIy parallel
prongs pointed safely away from him,
and its handle conveniently within
reach.
He carried the fork into the dining
room, but there Mrs. Bi1ltops took it
from him, and wound up the shade her
self. Mr.. Billtops observed that the
tines of the fork were just wide enough
apart to fit snugly over the fat-sided
spindle of the fixture, so that it was
perfectly easy to twist the spring up
with it. He learned, indeed, that Mrs.
Billtops kept this fork for the express
purpose of winding up window shades,
and when he had seen her wind up this
spring with it, and then throw the little
side piece, that held it, into place again
with a single touch of hairpin, why,
he was more than ever convinced, if
that was possible, that Mrs. Billtops
was a wonderful woman.-N. Y. Sun.

COOKING VEGETABLES.
Mrs. ROrer Points out the Food value
of Garden Products


of Garden Products.
although it is well known that the
American markets give an abundance
of vegetables, it is regretted that there
is no country where they are so little
appreciated - writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in
Ladies' Home Journal ITO this omis-
sion may be traced much discomfort
among the poorer classes. The legu-
minous seed, peas, beans and 1entils,
yield almost double the amount of mus
cle-making food to be found in beef.
One pound of beans costing five cents
will give food value equal to two
pounds of beef at so cents, an item of
economy worthy of thought. am in
this considering old peas and beans;
those green or unripe contain larger
amount of water and more sugar, and
less albuminous matter, but on the
other hand they are more easily de
gested.
"Al concentrated vegetable foods re-
quire long, slow cooking to render them
suitable for use. A little baking soda
added to the water in which old
strong flavor, making them much more
delicate. All vegetables should be
washed well in cold water. Green vege-
tables, such as spinach, caulifower, cab
bage, Brussels sprouts, cucumbers, kale,
onions, leeks, asparagus, turnip tops,
beet tops, Swiss chard, young peas and
string beans, should be cooked in boil
ing sailed water, and boiled slowly until
tender, not a moment longer or the
favor will be lost"
