TOO LIBERAL USE OF SALT.

Salt draws the juices from the beef in corning, toughens the fibre, makes it very indigestible and lass nutritious. On cucumbers it draws out the water toughens the fibre and makes them very indigestible. Salt acts exactly the same way on fish as on meats. There are two ways to consider these chang es. I would hardly say that salt de- Stroys the food value, although it robs the flesh of part Of it's food value by making it less igestible.-Mrs. S. T. Rorer in August Ladies' Homo Jour nal.

Judging from an interview with Am bassador Charlemagne Tower in the
 Philadelphia Times, the ADMIRERS opinion of foreigners re-
 OF garding President Me MKINLEY. Kinley is not different
 from the opinion here at home Says Mir Tower in the course of his interview:
 "I may say that the opinion of the diplomatic corps at St. Petersburg, and highest regard for President McKin- ley, both with respect to his personal character and to his statesmanship.
 Europe has the very highest regard for his powers and looks upon him to- day as one of the three or four really great statesmen of the day. They look upon him as the ablest American in this country today and think he has wrought more for the United States than any single man in a generation. They think he has advanced the coun- try more in an administration than it has advanced in any similar period in it's history"
 Such an opinion does credit to the judgment of European observers If things in America. The period of Me Kinley's first administration has proved to be enc of the historic periods in the development of the nation. Great events have followed one another so rapidly as to make these four years unusually eXacting upon the head of the administration. But Mckinley has never faltered and never paltered or failed to maintain his unquestioned su- premacy in national councils. From time to time he has disagreed with con- gress; but events have in every in- stance justified him and vindicated the soundness of his judgment. President Mckinley has been tested as no presi- dent since Lincoln and if as Senator Hoar declares, he is the best beloved president that ever sat in the chair of Washington" it is because he has met every requirement. of his office with su- preme ability and while maintaining himself as the head Of his party and of the government has shown himself modest tactful, approachable and emi- nently reasonable in his relations with members of his own and the opposite party alike.
 The country is living under presi- dent wko in years to come will be spoken of along with Lincoln and Washington and whose administration take it all together, will rank above any other administration in American history in advancement of American interests.

TO PACK EGGS FOR KEEPING.

The yolk Of the egg spells much quicker than the white. For this req son it is important that the yolk should be surrounded with a layer of the white. If the egg is placed on the side or large end the heavy yolk will set tie to the bottom and come in contact with the shell, which admits the air. If it is placed on the small end it will always have a layer of white between it and the shell. Eggs absorb odors easily, therefore only odorless materi- als should Ee used when packing them.

NEW YORK

There can be no doubt that the direct loss to the agricultural and horticul-
 tural interests of the Salt
 WHAT River valley this sea-
 METHOD? son on account of the
 shortage in the supply of irrigation water will not fall short of a half million dollars. In other words, if the county of Maricopa had invested a half million dollars in a reservoir in time to have had it in operation at the beginning of this sea son, the total investment would have been returned this year. This state ment cannot be controversial, because the reports of stream measurements just issued by the United States gov ernment show that notwi ihstanding the drouth of the past twelve months there was enough water in the Salt river if all of it had been conserved, to have afforded an ample supply for the lands on which this loss of a half million has been incurred. Does it weaken the demand for a reservoir to say, as Is the fact, that notwithstanding this enormous loss the Salt River val ley is still one of the most prosperous regions of the Union? On the contrary, y.to roa of storage? Would not this valley be the ideal farming and fruit-raising dis voir? There Is strong ground for be- lieving that If capitalists could be con- vinced that this county would join them i'll the investment the necessary funds would be forthcoming for reser- voir construction. A large number of intelligent residents of the valley ad- vocate. therefore, the proposal that the county should contribute a half million of the required capital, on the same basis In which the private capital is invested. Is not the suggestion sound and business-like? Who would not in vest a half million dollars as private enterprise when it was clear that the whole investment might be returned in profits in a single season? Yet that is the situation, exactly, in which the people of this valley fird themselves. Any objection based on danger of mis- apprc priation of the water to new lands is gropndless, as the protection of the lands now under canal would be one of the first conditions. In a like manner all othsr objections fade into air.
 There is really no difference in the minds of the progressive people of the spectable element contends that the county should construct and own the whole reservoir instead of large part of it. There can be no fault found with their position except as to the mat ter of practica bility. It is evident that it would be more difficult to carry this proposition through than it would to raise portion of the money. For that reason we believe the better, surer and quicker method is through joint ownership with private investors.
 It may be. of course, that there are a few farmers whu woull prefer not to be fully prosperous rather than to be made wealthy by a corporation" but Athey are so few that their numbers do
 t count.

SHOULD STICK TO SIMPLE FOOD
The American Business Mans Peac' Demands Easily Digested Dishes.

There was in the old days far less wear and tear upon the nerves; and. under such conditions digestion was more completely performed" writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer. of Why I Am Op- posed to Pies in the August Ladies Home Journal. "The mothers cf today must look more carefully to the build ing of their bodies and brains than their mothers and grandmothers did. Indeed, at the pace which we Ameri- cans are going we use our brains at flu spsei nearly all the time. What man can build brain ard brawn on pies, layer cakes or preserves, and any other mass of material which from it's very complexity requires labor and time for digestion, drawing the blood from the brain to the stomach during his work ing hours? Observe those who eat their complex foods carelessly and hastily, and you will see at a glance the con ditions that necessitate a complete rest every now and then, or an early nervous breakdown.
 Tn my close observations in the last twenty years I find very few people in our common struggle for existence who can for any length of Mime eat ctrSl6sSly anu conlpleN lOOuS. Al lOIlS or fifty a man may pcrhaps have ac- cumuIated wealth but not health; and of what earthly use is the first without the second? Many persons in the gen era,ion gone before have eaten pies at least once a day, but they have not had meat three times day. nor have they rushed at our pace. They gave more time to the digestion of the pie. People who recomm5 nd these rich foods rarely know anything of their complex condi tions. and still less of the comp!aXity of digestion.

WITH BOER PRISONERS.
Correspondent of the London Times
Describes Their Life Aboard Ship.

London, Feb. 15.-The WEAKNESS of
Cape Town criticisms and explanation
is varied by this account in the Times
of a visit to BOer prisoners:
Cape Town, Jan IA few days ago
I took occasion to visit the Boer pris-
oners of war at Simons Town on board
the Cunard transport Catalonia. The
Catalonia was anchored well out in the
bay, no doubt to prevent a repetition of
the attempts to escape by swimming
which We're made from the Manila rath-
er more than a week ago. Climbing on
deck l at once lit upon acquaintance,
men had met at Bloemfontein, Pre-
tOria, johannesburg, or in the Boer
lager at Sandspruit.
1.-The prisoners were scattered all over
the deck, some reading or playing
draughts, others pretending to fish or
walking about. Some looked profoundly
bored, others were holding animated
conversations, chiefly about the war. A
favorite amusement seemed to consist
in chatting the sentries or the crew
about the British reverses. One VIXEN
ed little man, a Johannesburg bar loaf
er to judge by appearances. was treat
ing sailor to most graphic account
of now it took six lancers to capture
him at Elandslaagte. a statement which
provoked much laughter from his fell
low prisoners. The dinner bell then
rang and we went below. The whole
dimly-lit space below deck was filled
with rows of wooden tables with en-
closures for the prisoners kits and with
nannOckS Sung TO the low ce1l1nS.
They were not very CHEEKY quarters, it
must be confessed, and the prisoners
complained very freely about them,
contrasting them with the comfort they
had enjoyed at the Docks hospital in
Cape Town. 1t is true that the space
occupied by some 430 prisoners on the
Catalonia is the same as that allotted
to 200 of our soldiers on their way out,
and, as the captain of the Catalonia
said to me afterwards: If the soldiers
were so pleased with their aecoTnmoda-
ton and feeding that they sent a spec
ial deputation to thank me before they
left the ship, 1 don't see why these
Beers should grumble if they get the
same treatment Still, it must be re-
membered that many of the prisoners,
especially those taken at Elandslaagte,
are men belonging to the middle and
upper classes and accustomed to live in
considerable comfort. These naturally
find their present quarters squald,
gloomy and unpleasant.
1.-The only task imposed on them is
that of keeping their own quarters
clean. They are allowed to receive Wis
itors on certain days of the week. Their
friends may supply them any luxury
clothes, cake, fruit, or tobacco. in fact,
anything except money and spirits; and
as very many of them have relatives in
| Cape Town or else friends among the
Uitlanders staying down here they have
no reason to feel particularly lonely and
forgotten. Their food is not luxurious
or very varied, but is sufficient and
healthy. The meal / saw consisted of
boiled beef potatoes, pickles, bread and
coffee.
From such information as comes to
] hand through Boer sources it would
seem that our, prisoners now confined in

As regards the Nicaragua canal. old
conventions stipulated in favor of France
and other powers certain rights of pre-
emption, but these clauses are regarded
if not as abrogated, as at any rate having
fallen into deseutude.
In any case it may be taken for certain
that all statements representing the
French government as having adopted an
attitude different from that set forth
above are absolutely unfounded.

damnable," the governor continued,
''and an outrage against the rights of

in that letter are true the American

MAN AND WIFE.
See Changes as They Change.

To sweeten sour human nature, one of
the best methods is to leave off coffee
if it gives you dyspepsia or makes you
nervous.
II asked husband this morning to
write out a testimonial for the Postum
Cereal Co., and from it quote. I am
pleased to be able to state that my
wife has been cured of sick headaches
and general cusSednesS" by leaving off
coffee and using your Postum Food
Coffee My home is now a happy one.
Il am forced to admit his joke con-
tains more than a modicum of truth,
for I find now I have complete control
of my nerves, while formerly I was
often irritable, and husband himself
has been entirely cured of insomnia by
leaving off coffee and taking up Postum.
He sleeps now like baby, from the
time he goes to bed, until morning. and
perhaps his improvement is partly a
reason for his seeing such an improve
ment in me. At any rate, our old sick
ness and troubles have disappeared.
Il had tried everything for my sick
headaches, but as long as 1 stuck to the
coffee, the headaches stuck to me- 1t
took US little while to learn that we
must follow the directions in making
Postum, in order to obtain a really pal
atable, delicious beverage. People must
get over the idea that they can make it
in any kind of a slipshod way and have
it good. The great element in making
SOO0 FOSlun Is TO allow II plenty OF
time to boil. That is certainly simple
enough, and when the cook becomes ac-
customed to making Postum, one can
depend upon regular quality every
morning.
t know people who seem to be able
to drink coffee, with no bad effects; and
on the other hand, know that prob
ably one-half of all my friends are
more or less unpleasantly affected with
coffee, when they persist in using it.
but Postum has obtained a strong hold
since it's qualities have become known,
and a great many of our friends are
steady users of Postum in place of the
ordinary coffee. and you may be sure
every family that has used Postum for
even one month will be ready to testify
to the improvement in health,
IF you should publish this letter
please suppress my name, as I have a
horror of undue notority. If any one
will take the trouble to write you fo1
my name and address, I will cheerfully
answer any questions that may be
asked, and furnish satisfactory evil

The Topeka newspapers do not need
reforming as much as some other insti-

papers are excellent, considerably above
the average, but there is a. institution
in Topeka that makes a practice of
loaning money to railroad men, and
taking an assignment of their wages.
For a loan of fifty dollars. the concern
exacts five dollars month, or sixty
dollars a year! This practice seems to
be carried on openly. When sickness
overtakes a railroad mans family, and
he cannot do better, he pays this
enormous interest. Plenty CT money
can be borrowed in Kansas at six per
cent. Ier annum, or three dollars for
the use of fifty dollars one year. This
Topeka concern charges sixty dollars
