Maeterltnek,s Latest Protection.

Just as surely as poetry or the creative essay
Altogether exquisite in his descriptions Of the

Of expecting to find modeia for human life in the

lot SOx170 feet, which the Santa Fe Rail-
way company donated to the Pintsch
Gas company in order to induce them
to erect the plant here
The plant will be for the purpose of
manufacturing gas for Ell PasSs rail-
roads. Most all of these roads are
already using Pintsch gas for lighting
purposes, as is also the Pullman COM
pany, and what few other makes of
gas they are using will be dropped as
soon as the Ell Paso gas factory COM
mences piping Pintsch gas right into
their car sheds.
Pipes win be laid from the factory to-
each of the railroad yards and the gas
will be thus delivered to the customers
until the union depot is built. when one
pipe will be sufficient to deliver the gas
to all the roads.
The Santa F'e company has Just re-
Gently issued an order that none but
Pintsch gas is to be used on that sys-
tenn hereafter. There have been sew
eral disastrous explosions of acetylene
gas on that system recently and they
have caused the company to issue the
prohibitory order. This road has also
stopped equipping locomotives with
electric lighting apparatus and other
roads are doing the same.

keepers find it a great convenience and
saving of time and labor to have this
preparatory cooking done by the butcher.
In fact this cleaning and first cooking
is quite a trade in itself The raw tripe
requires ten hours slow boiling to make
it tender for the subsequent modes OF
cooking. The SouSed or picked tripe
can be used in the same dishes, and il
desired Invested of the vinegar by soak
ing in water with a little baking soda,
although washing it in one water is
generally sufficient. The cooked tripe
may be cut into strips about two and a
half inches long and quarter of an inch
wide mixed with an equal quantity Of
washed and drained oysters which have
been blanched in their own liquor and
a cream sauce added to them. Heat all
together until the sauce comes to boil
ing point. Either fresh or SouSed tripe
can be used. The fresh for invalids or
for delicate persons. This is a delicious
dish and very digestible and nourishing.
A beaten egg may be added to this pre-
paration just before removing it from
the fire and you have a still more
nourishing and tasty dish.
Onions and tomatoes are natural ac-
compartments to tripe.
The prepared tripe should not require
longer cooking, but If it is not tender
cook it slowly until it is as tender as
an oyster. This will require from 10
minutes to half an hour
OLD-FASHIONED BOSTON BROWN
BREAD.
Mrs. D. S. writes: have been much
pleased with your recipes and have
used some of them with great success.
Will you please give me as soon as pos
siblee good recipe for making the old
fashioned Boston brown bread?
One cup of yellow corn meal, one cup
of graham or whole wheat -four half a
cup of molasses, one and one-half cups
of sour milk or water, one teaspoonfuI
of soda and a little salt. Mix meal and
flour together; add other ingredients
and pour into a buttered mould or tin
pail and steam for three hours: the
water must be kept constantly boiling.
One cup of stoned raisins improves this
bread. Some bake this for two hours
longer after it is steamed in order to
get the rich brown crust.

Rock Island will almost Immediately
begin construction on a line from Ana

Another rumor is to the effect that
the Rock Island will build westward
Southern Pacific. Work is now in pro-
gress on the completion of the extern
sion of the Fort Sill line TO Fort Worth.
Upon the com pletion of this line the
Hennessey and Fort Worth will be uti-
liked as a double track for through
business
1t is reported that there will soon be
submitted a proposition to the stock
holders of the Rock Island to increase
the capital stock from $60,000,000 to
$780, 900 and then place the new issue
on four per cent basis. 1t is believed
that with the completion of the new

ISSUES A GOLF BOOK.
Next Best Thing to Having Golf
Links on the IS Limited"

The person who unsuspectingly picks
UP a neatly covered little book, entitled,
Golf in California" looks at the pic
lures, reads the interesting stories of
various well-kept golf links on the Pa
cific coast, and inspects the carefully
drawn maps of the golf grounds, will
do very well indeed if he finds any di-
rect evidence that the book is one of
the latest advertising publications of
the passenger department of the Santa
F'e road.
There is very little real advertising
for the Santa Fe road in the book and
what there is has been crowded into
few pages at the back of the book 50
that it resembles the advertising mat
ter of any well organized periodical
Golf in California" is one of the clev
crest publications ever printed by the
Santa Fe.
In itself the book is very interesting.
The illustrations are perfection The
printing is in red and black, with il
Illuminated initial letters. The object of
the book is primarily to boom the Cali
fOrnia limited.

Missouri Pacific Reduces Wages of
Section Hands.

The pay Of Missouri Pacific section
men, which has been $1.25 a day since
last April, was put back to $1.10 Janu-
airy 1. officials say that when wages
were increased from $1.1O to $l-25 last
April. it was with the understanding
that the increase would continue only
until November Is. but second order
was made continuing the $125 schedule
until the first of the year Burlington
section men, across the river, receive
the same price, $1.10 a day At Whiting
and Netawaka, where the Missouri Pa
ciflc is laying new STEEL section men
are still being paid $1.25 a day as their
work is classified as heavy. A report
sent out of Sedalia says many section
employees have quit on account of the
reduction of pay.

Santa Fe May Run Through
Train to Wellington.
SERVICE in OKLAHOMA
Request of Travelling Men Is
Having Effect.
They Interviewed Mr.. Nudge in
His Private Car.

There are more changes likely in the
Santa Fe time card for the Southern
kansas division The people in that
locality are still dissatisfied with the
improved services given under the time
card supplement issued on December 10,
and want a through train from Kansas
City to Wellington, and quicker service
between Wellington, Kas-, and Wood
ward. Okla
w. c. Ilette, chief clerk for General
Supt- c. F. Resseguie, stated today
I'VE have some changes in this locality
under consideration, but nothing ready
TO make public as yet"
The contemplated changes are be-
lieved to have been recommended by
General Manager II. u. Nudge, VINO htd
rather a unique and interesting expert
ence a few days before Christmas, while
down at Woodward, Okla, on an inspec-
ton trip. He was waited upon by a
delegation of commercial travellers, who
secured an interview with him In his
private car.
The travelling men claimed that all
travelling men who go west of Alva are
obliged to spend a whole day in each
town. Mr.. Nudge promised the travel
ing men to give the matter careful at
tentiOn, and as a special mark OF cour-
tesy invited them to ride to Alva in his
private car, thus obviating the incon-
venience of delay.
The names of the travelling men who
interviewed Mr.. Nudge are: NJ D
L. McCluney, H. B. Kelley and r. j.
Thomas.
The Southern Kansas division time
card is a tangled web. There are so
many short branches in the vicinity of
Wellington and Arkansas City that it is
an alI-day's job to even figure out the
effect of possible changes to say moth
ing of determining what changes are
most advantageous to the road and to
the public. When the November 3 time
card was put into effect, it produced
long and vigorous complaint from Wei
lington. The result was that Division
Supt. J. L Barnes figured out some
changes, which were carefully gone over
and approved by General Supt. Res
seguie, and were embodied in Supple
ment c. which was issued on Decem-
Der 3
But now the Wellington, AIVa and
Woodward people want more
Wellington demands that the Kansas
City train, which comes down by way
of Independence, be run through to
Wellington, instead of stopping at Mo-
line. as at present It also wants the
train which now runs from Wellington
to Alva extend it's run to Woodward,
Okla.
It is very likely that these changes, or
some of similar nature, will be made
soon and announced by Supt. Res
Seguie-

element, not only in order to make the
food more palatable, but to keep up
that even balance in the human econo-
my that puts mind, soul and body in
harmony with life.
Good humor and good health depend
largely on good living; by good living
we mean the selection of such foods
that will increase the vitality of body
and mind; keep all parts of the organ
ism in health and give nature more re-
sources in time of extra stress and
place the body in better condition to
resist destruction.
NUT BUTTER FOR BREAD.
When this is substituted for butter
take half the quantity of butter desired,
place it in bowl, add a very little wa
ter and mix it with a spoon: add more
water while you continue to mix it in
until it is smooth and soft enough to
spread easily. A little salt may be
sprinkled over it after it is spread on
the bread.
NUT GRAVY FOR BOILED RICE
Make a stock by dissolving a level
tablespoonful of nut butter in a pint of
water and bring it to boiling point;
season with salt and thicken with
level tablespoonful of Drowned flour and
equal quantity of white flour. This will
give it the flavor of roast beef gravy. a
cup of hot, strained tomato juice may
be added, using that much less of wa
ter.
NUT CUsTARD.
Rub two level tablespoonful of nut
butter smooth with half cup of water.
Beat one egg light with four level
tablespoonfuls of sugar and add to the
butter with pinch of salt. Mix well
with another half cup of water, and
cook in a double boiler until creamy,
pour into little custard cdps, set in a
pan of hot water and bake in a slow
oven until set in the centers. Or the
custard may be poured into a plain
crust and baked as an open pie. This
custard may be covered with meringue
made by whipping tart apple sauce and
the beaten whites of eggs together, ad-
ding a little powdered sugar if desired.

A PLAIN TALK
On Plain Subject. in Plain Language.

A cold is the starting point of more
than half of the fatal illness from No
vember to May. A cold is the first chap
ter in the history of every case of con-
sumption. A cold is the first stage of
chronic catarrh, the most loathSome and
stubborn of diseases. A cold is the
legitimate parent of a large family OF
diseases, such as bronchitis, pleuriSy,
pneumonia and quinsy. To neglect a
cold is almost suicide. To fail to pro-
vide against this well-nigh inevitable
evil is dangerous negligence.
Peruna is a safeguard as a preventive,
a specific as a cure for all cases of ca
tarrh, acute and chronic, coughs, colds,
consumption, ETC., etc
