ONE GOOD oLn WAY.

In the days of our grandparents.
when there were no stoves and when
the cooking was done before the open
fire and in the outside bake oven. bak-
ing day was an important date in the
domestic economy of all homes. Then
it was that the goodwife did up all
the baking for week, and so the
loaves of rye and injun bread, the pot
of pork and beans. the batch of pies
and cakes. We're all prepared and baked
at one heating of the oven, and right
choice. good food it all was. Today.
with modern stoves in partnership with
the frying pan and the baking powder
can, nothing is provided ahead and
each meal has to be cooked indie
pendently. greatly increasing the labor
of the houseReeper. We believe that
the old way, which compelled baking
day once 3 week, was good thing
good for the housekeeper and good for
the health Of the family.

II. Belden, of Sioux City, president of
the Iowa Equal Suffrage association,
has given out positive statement she
will not again be president of the as
ISOLATION. She says she will be oblig-
ed to decline under all circumstances.
No reason is assigned for her decision,
but it is understood she has to some
extent impaired her health by her ia
tiguing labors before the legislature
and her work as an organizer for the
association.
The fact that Mrs. Belden would not
take the office again was not known
to the suffragists at the executive COM
mittee meeting last week. 1t is en-
potted there will be an active contest
over the presidency when the state
meeting is held at Waterloo in Novem-
ber. Several are mentioned for the
place. When Mrs. Belden was elected
last year it was against her wishes. 1t
is probable those who were discussed
last year will be brought forward
again Among them were Mrs. M. J.
Coegeshall. of Des Moines. Mrs. S. NJ.
LAID, of Sheldon, and Mrs. Stockman,
OF Mason City. There is little cues,
tion Mrs. Coggeshall, who is beloved
by the whole association, could hare
the presidency. 1t is understood she
will not consider it.

A MILLION DOLLARS ESTATE.
Appanoose County People May be lie
gal Heirs to LARGE Fortune.

Centerville, Aug. 26.-An estate Of
$1,000,000 is said to be existing in Eng
land awaiting for the legal heirs of
Elisha Moore to claim it. There are
a number of Moores living in this coun-
ty and it may be possible that some
of them have claim to share in
this estate. Judge S. M. Moore of this
city, has been looking the matter up
and while he does not know
for certainty of the gem
uineness of the estate as de-
sclibed by the advertisements, he has
not been asked for any advances of
money to be used in investigations and
this leads him to believe that the mat
ter may not be merely swindling
scheme. If the estate is real thing,
whoever proves up claim to it will
receive considerable money.
Judge Moore has had some cores
pondence with the Moore's in Ohio and
the latter have been corresponding
with parties in England. The judge
has been able to trace his genealogy
back to Elisha Moore, the deceased
millionaire. who. according to Judge
Moore's Investigations, was his great,
grandfather. The line Of genealogy
includes Elisha Moores father, Sam
uel Moore and Whitmire x. Moore,
father of Judge Moore. Judge Moore
claims. however. that Elisha Moore's
full name was Samuel Elisha Moore,
but the discrepancy might easily be
accounted for.
In the year 1910 Samuel Moore emf.
grated to and settled in Miami county
Ohio, where Whitmer X. Moore was
born in 1900.

ABRAMS SUPPORTS cUMMINs.
Believes All Temperance People
Should Do Same.

Des Moines, Aug. 26-H. H. Abrams,
superintendent of the Iowa Anti-Saloon
league. which holds it's annual meeting
in Des Moines next Monday and Tues
day. announces that he will support A.
3. Cummins for governor
81 do not see how any temperate
man could do anything else than sup
port Cummins," he said in an inter-
view upon the subject, since the DEM
ocrats have put in plank demanding
the repeal of the mulct law and the
adoption of high license law"
Mr.. Abrams believes that a large
number of prohibitionists will vote
with the republicans this year solely
on this issue. He cites the fact that
Judge e. r. Akers OF DEBORAH, former
ly one of the leading democrats in
northeastern Iowa, recently identified
with the anti-saloon work, has de-
nounced the democratic platform and
is out Working for Cummins.
Judge Akers is on the program for
the coming meeting and on Tuesday
morning will make an address which
will probably cover his views on the
prohibition question in Iowa, at the
same time touching upon the planks
of the republican and democratic par
ties The republican platform does not
mention the liquor question but Mr..
Cummins in an interview has express
ed himself as satisfied with the mulct
law.
Iowa is one OF the strongest tenn
perance states in the union,'' said SUI
perintendent Abrams in reviewing his
work N civ r11t- of mir atr
nine counties in the state there is alb
solute prohibition far as legal protec-
ton will enforce It, In but twenty
counties in the state is the sentiment
SO strongly against prohibition that
the saloon element was able to secure
the necessary sixty-five per cent of the
voters at the last general election up,
on the petitions of consent. In ten
others cities have declared themselves
by a majority petition of consent in
favor of open saloons. In these coun-
ties however. only the large towns are
affected
Mr. Abrams position only reflects
that held by hundreds of other tenn
perance advocates in the country
whether in the past affiliated with the
republican, prohibition or democratic
parties. He does not believe that the
talked Of attempts of prohibitionists
against Cummins will materialize, and
is OF the opinion that the men who are
behind such schemes are either ignor-
ant Of the true situation or are really
i'll sympathy with the saloons. In
most instances he thinks them mis-
guided.

Des Moines, Aug. 26.-Labor Com
missioner G. +. Wennerstrum has
compiled for his forthcoming report
statistical reference to the amount
OF money expended in different states
for labor bureaus. This shows that
Iowa is at the bottom of the list The
showing is regarded by him as worthy
of place in his biennial report so
that the incoming legislature may take
some action to increase the scope of
the Iowa department, which now has
very little authority of latitude. Mr.
Wennerstrum finds that Connecticut

pends annually $16S for this sort Of

WEATHER FAKES.

A friend writes us criticiSing US for
treating the long range weather proph-
cts with so much irreycrence and lack
of respect and appeals to us tC know
whether they are not sometimes right
in their forecasts and representations.
We do not care to discuss this matter
at length in these notes. Any fool can
guess on the weather and be right 4
part of the time We will only repeat
what we have heretofore said in these
notes--vi2. the weather service of the
government, based upon telegraphc re-
ports of temperature, humidity, baro-
metrical pressure and the knowledge
possessed of the law of storm move
ments, constitutes the only reliable ba-
sis of any weather forecast. These
forecasts it is we'll 10 heed. for they
are based on common sense principles.
but when some old crank. hairy and
idiotic, essays to forecast weather con-
ditions based on sun spots. star orbits
and lunar changes and gets off n mess
about perhelionS, conjunctions and all
sorts of stellar rot no sensible man
should waste q moments time on him
or pay the least regard to his twaddle.
For fact the American people should
have outgrown the stage of so years
ago. when patent medicine almanac
was accepted as weather authority be-
cause it was right part of the time.
While we might possibly excuse some
very old people for belief in such luna
cy. we have our opinion of live man
who will invest his money or govern
his business by such folly.
