THE. PENNY SAVED"
Spirit of Economy and Not Mserllness
Makes Men Rich.

The best things are the cheapest. When
the prudent housewife stops to figure out
the cost she finds that Bakers Darlington
Hall steel cut coffee is not only better
than any other coffee she can buy a any
price, but that it is really cheaper than
coffees which sell for less money per
pound. 1t is a demonstrate fact that
this steel cut coffee will go half as far
again it would if the same kernels
were ground in the old ia shioned way.
That means that 1t is one Of the most
economical coffees that can be used
But people drink coffee because they
like it, not because it is cheap; SO people
drink Darlington Hall because it suits
them better than any other. regardless OF
price. About 200 Twin City grocers sell
it; few refuse to sell it because il is
superior to their favorite brands upon
which they make a larger profit. Ask your
grocer and try Steel Cut Darlington Hall.

ST. PAUL TAX TANGLE
1t Grows Out Of Supreme Court Decision
Affecting 1ee1-1eoo Tax Sales
Held lIleoal,

Held Illegal.
Franklin H. Griggs,. appearing for a Chi
cagO client, made formal application to the
city attorney Of st. Paul yesterday for
the redemption Of certain city property
sold under tax sale by the. st. Paul city
authorities between 1891 and 1900, when
the present charter was adoped. Mr..
Griggs, said that the then city treasurer
gave but one public notice Of his inten-
ton to take Judgment instead of two
notices as required by. the old charter and
that the sale was consequently illegal
His claim is based upon a recent supreme
court decision in which all Of st. Paul's
tax sales between.1s91 and 1900 are held
inferent1ally. to have been illegal.
The decision is expected to cause the
city considerable trouble, but little loss
as the tax Judgments, together with In
terest and penalties, still remain a lien
upon the property, involved. It will.
however, permit former owners to re-
deem their land. The city WILL contest the

Comparatively few housekeepers know
the comfort of using a dish mop instead
of a cloth for washing the table dishes.
It not only. saves the hands, but as very
hot water can be used, the work is much
easier and is more quickly done, while
the water is quite as hot as the hand can
bear by the time you need to use a cloth
for the cooking utensils. The mops cost
but a trifle, and one will last long time
if it's use is confined to the tableware.

Fruit punch--This punch is delicious
and is nice to serve at teas. Sweeten the
juice of six large lemons and three or
anges. Put into a punch bowl with a
small block of ice. add few slices of or
ange, a few Malaga grapes, or preserved
cherries. also enough raspberry or blue
berry juice (from canned berries) to give
a pretty color, as well as flavor. When
time to serve, pour over two quarts OF
some aerated table water. A large clus-
ter Of grapes is a pretty garniture. Dc
not open the aerated water until ready to
use, as it loses its sparkle very soon.

The fashionable way to light a room Is
from the side, and brass is much used,
with crystal, in forming settings for the
lights.
Mirrors over mantels have given place
to paintings, and, generally speaking, mir
rors are less in use than they were for
merly. Mantel paintings are large and
handsome, but they have to conform in a
general way to the scheme of cooring and
decoration in the tapestried walls and fur
niture.

city typical Christmas attire. will sus-

eight hours, according to TIE reports OF
the Weather Bureau.
Although the storm was aot a serious
one. it was sufficient to cloak the eity
in a white mantle. thus adding an i'm
portant feature Of the day. For years
and years. snow and Christmas have al
ways been associated. aad the subse-

cause is discounted by the cheer which
it brings.

has been rather heavy. and has delayed

In fact, railroad traffic IS always more or
