The Rock Island is Entering
New Field.
Encouraging the Development
of Oil Lands in Oklahoma.
BURN 1T IN ENGINES.
Experiment With Oil as a Factor
in Creating Power.
Granite Product Contains High
Per Cent of Fuel Properties.

The Rock Island railroad is encour-
aging the developme nt of the oil fields
in the Wichita mountains surrounding
Granite, Okla c. F. Drake, the chief
chemist of the Rock Island, has made
exhaustive tests of the oil from wells
sunk in that vicinity, and reports that
the oil contains fuel properties to the
extent of 1854 per cent, against about
so per cent in the oil from the Beau
mont regions.
w. w. Leeman, the Rock Island road
foreman of engines, whose headquart-
ers are at Harrington, has been making
experiments with the crude oil as a lu-
bricant, and reports that it gives en-
tire satisfaction on the bearings and
journal boxes where it has already been
tried He explains, however, that it has
never yet been tried in cylinders
A Chicago syndicate headed by DR..
Price. the man who makes DR.. Prices
baking powder, has been organized and
the company has leased and purchased
between 5000 and 5000 acres of land in
the vicinity of Granite, on the Rock
Island road Machinery to bore for oil
on an extensive scale is now being sent
to Granite. This company has already
sunk one well that is yielding from five
to ten barrels of oil per day. The Gran
lite oil is from asphaltum base.
Granite is in Greer county, Oklahoma,
in spur of the Wichita mountains, 40
miles south or the south line OF Kansas
and so miles west of Chickasha on the
Mangum branch of the Rock Island.
The altitude is about 1900 feet above
the level of the sea and is in a delight
full china te.
Prof. Edison, of Chicago, a noted geo
logical expert who spent ten days in ex-
aiming the country about Granite re-
ports that in his opinion an ineXhausti-
bic lake of oil is underneath the sur
face in that locality.
The fact that the oil is so rich in fuel
properties is significant. The Rock Is
land railroad is contemplating SubSti-
tuting oil for coal as a fuel for rail-
way locomotives. The Rock Island has
been watching with interest the expert
mentS of the Santa F'e and other roads
relative to the use of oil in locomotives
and it is said that before long expert
ments will be begun by the Rock Island.
If it develops that the oil may be had
in the vicinity of Granite in unlimited
recognized rival of Beaumont. The fact
that Granite is from $50 to 400 miles
nearer Kansas City, the point that
would necessarily be the base of distri-
button for oil in event it is used gen
orally as a fuel for locomotives, would
be a strong point of advantage for
Granite over Beaumont, in addition to
the fact that the Granite oil contains a
higher per cent of fuel properties.
The development of the Granite oil
fields will be of direct benefit to three
railroads The Rock Island, the Choc-
taw and the Fort Worth and Denver
City, commonly called the Colorado
Southern.

Musn MAKES MISERY.

The old theory that mush makes
practical diet has been exploded bS-
modern scientific research, by physicians
of great repute, such as Chittendon. of
Yale and men of like scientific fame.
1t has been proven that nush is in a
class with indigestible wheat cakes,
black coffee and like dietic crimes
Mush lies in the stomach, a pasty, in
digestible mass, fermenting and produce
ing discomfort and Indigestion. Such
diet lowers the vitality and leads to
serious and often fatal bodily ills. Dis
card mush and treat your hystem royal

with Malt Honey, which is a toothsome
deIicacy, easily digested and makes
strong muscles mind and nerve. Every
package of genuine Toasted Wheat
Flakes bears picture of the Battle

in this manner.
OMELET MAKING.
There is nothing more dainty and in
viting than an omelet if made to per-
lection. To succeed in making an ONE
let one must remember that the merit
of the dish consists in It's retaining as
much as possible of the SoftnesS and all
the flavor of the egg in spite of the fact
that the dry heat by which it is cooked
hardens the albumen. In whatever
manner you cook eggs the hardening
process of the egg should not be carried
beyond that of the soft boiled egg. The
curdling of your egg in some sauces is
is added to enrich and thicken the
sauce and when allowed to cook into
hard flakes does neither one nor the
other and is wasted, while your sauce
is spoiled in appearance at least.

PLENTY OF GOOD ICE.
Las Vegas Supplying Santa Fe as Far
East as Dodge City.

Albuquerque. N. NJ, Feb 26.-Reports
from the Hot Springs canyon, near Las
Vegas, from which has been reaped this
winter an ice harvest of exceptionally
great quantity and quality, better than
the season there is about to close.
Workmen have been busy cutting there
for a month or more. From that noun
tain stream of pure water has been
drawn a supply that will fill the Santa
Fe houses along the line as far east as
Dodge City, Kan, and for long dis
lance westward. 1t has been a long
time since the situation in this respect
was as pleasing as at present.

INQUIRIES Answered.

Miss c. d. NJ. writes: Should pota-
toes be boiled rapidly throughout the
cooking? And what is the cause of the
outside crumbling off while the center
is still hard?
BOILING POTATOES.
If the water boils too rapidly the out
side of potato will peel off before the
center is cooked, especially if the pota-
toes are of the mealy kind. Keep them
bubblinC gently. If the potatoes are
very large the outside is apt to get too
soft and crumble before the potatoes
are nearly done. In this case add more
cold water, about a piEt, to reduce out
side temperature of the pota toes.
COOKING BUTTER.
]. s. D. writes: Do you advise the use
of cooking butter for making sauces,
frying in little fat, etc. =?
We would not advise the use of any
kind of butter for frying and only the
freshest butter for making sauces.
When cooking butter is used with an
idea of economizing it is often of the
poorest quality and rancid or else a
cheap imitation; neither is fit for use.

BAD BLOOD.
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end

same cause, acid and other poisous in

To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
