MONEY IN DoUGHNUTS.
Eow a Woman Made Neat Sum In
Alaska.


From the New York Commercial.
How did I get my start?" asked a sue
cessful business woman here in New York
as a customer of hers fingered to chat
with the breezy proprietress. She has two
extensive establishments for the cleaning
and dyeing of women's fine wearing ap-

IT had the gold fever on me bad about
ten years ago, and / went to Alaska to
make a million dollars. as I believed
could. OF course I took my little savings
along with me- But my gold prospecting
served no purpose but to eat up my little

ground found me stranded and on the look
out for some practical means of livelihood.
l had learned from an aunt to make good
doughnuts. She was a thorough New Eng
land housewife and set great store by cook
ing. l knew that the materials for dough-
nuts cost less than the materials for any
other sort of cake. heard that the people
in Nome were crying out for something
good to eat, and friend lent me the money
to go there and get the necessary tent.

business.
AT that time Nome consisted Of miles Of
tents strung along the beach and extending
back in rows as the houses In a city block

central place and from the first had all the

Milk Made Into Powder,
From the London Standard.

Z
An important movement appears to be on
foot in Sweden for the conversion of
SKINNED or separated milk into a dry pow
der, by means Of a machine called an EEK
siccator." invented by DIR. Martin Eken-
berg. The price of one of these machines
to evaporate 528 gallons of milk In ten
hours is stated somewhat vaguely to be
from f220 to ESQ. 1t was recently reported
that ten sets of apparatus were being
erected In Swedish dairy factories and that
inquiries about the machine from butter
makers in Sweden and foreign countries
were numerous. The powder. when dis
solved in proper quantity of water of the
right temperature, resumes the appearance
and other characteristics of milk. AS the
annual output of separated and SKINNED
milk in Sweden is estimated at over 49,.
000,OOO0 gallons, the supply of the powder
from that country alone. il it proves q
commercial success, will be very large, and
in all other countries where butter is ex-
tensively produced the difficulty of finding
a profitable use for this product is felt, as
for calves or pigs is small Although sep
arated milk is almost devoid of fat, its ALI
mentary value is considerable, and, in the
form of powder. large quantity of it can
be transported in a small compass 1t In
stated that the powder will keep good for
an indefinitely long period.

THE MODERN FRENCH GIRL

How astonished would the modern French

to talk privately with a young gentleman.
She would think such recommendations
perfectly ridiculous as preventing all pos

never at it's best unless practiced in pri-

deemed that marriage was not a proper

tiers, flirtation-even as word-was I'M

young maidens, and even conferred a GER
tain distinction. being carried as far as
possible among the aristocracy. There
were special light silks and inexpensive
trinkets for jeunes files set with corals,
enamels and pearls, among which the tin

tolerated any more than costly laces, furs
or elaborate trimmings.

the style of dress whether q young woman
was married or not. whereas 1t is not by

forty years ago were somewhat excessive,

WHIsKEY TROUBLE SETTLED
War Between MOuItrie Council
and Express Company Over.

The difficulty between the express
company and the city council of Moul-
trie, concerning the delivery of whis-
key by the express company, has been
settled.
Recently the council OF Moultrie
passed an ordinance to prevent the de-
livery of whiskey sent Oy express to
persons In that town. The company
claimed the right to deliver any goods
shipped to their Office; however, after
much wrangling, in compliance with
the law they refused to bring the
whiskeY IN for few days. In the
meantime the company appealed to
their attorney, Hon. Fleming duBig-
non, who decided that the ordinance
was sntagonistic to the statutes regu-
lating common CARRIERS, and advised
them to continue the delivery of the
disputed article; whereupon the coun
oil repealed the ordinance, and thus
peace was restored.

A Waycross special to the Savannah
Press says that after many mishaps
and delays the government cane ex-
pertinent station has begun to grind
and cook. Everything began in good
shape and the government is now
turning out "long sweetnin'" by the
hundred gallons.
The plano has a capacity to grind
and cook three tons of cane an hour.
1t is estimated that the cane in that
section will yield 20 gallons Of syrup to
the ton, making it possible to manu-
facture 1000 gallons of syrup in ten
hours, or 4 900 gallons in twenty hours,
the time it is expected to run during q
day through the cane season.
The cane is fed into the mill with an
endless chain running along trough.
Into this trough two men are kept
busy throwing In cane by the armful.
The trough is kept pretty full all the
while, and the chain delivers the cane
into the first set of rollers. These
rollers squeeze the juice out about like
the ordinary mill. The stocks go on
through another set OF rollers, which
squeeze it almost to a pow der, takin
out every drop of juice. Indeed, the
residum is so dry that il is carried on
into the furnace of the boilers and is
burned as fuel.

QUEER IDEA OF HUMANITY
NEW JERSEY WOMAN is HAVING HER
HORSES AND cows KILLED.
Fears They Might Suffer at Some Time II
Allowed TO Live. Will Not Sell
Any of Her Stock.

A New Brunswick, N. j., dispatch
says Mrs. Evelyn w. Murray, owner
and occupant of the old Snyder Free
linghysen farm, is disposing of the
stock on the farm by having it put to
death, although the stock is In the
best of health.
Mrs. Murray Is one of the wealthiest
women in Somerset county. She is
prominent in the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, and has
a horror of having any suffering come
to the animals on her farm. She does
not believe in eatiag meat and will not
allow any of her stock to be sold lest it
get into the hands of the butcher. OF
late she has been having all of the
calves born on the place chloroformed
Immediately after birth so that they
will not become veal.
Last week, by Mrs. Murray's direc-
ton, DR.. Voorhees,, veterinary of Som
ervllle, killed four full grown COWS and
cbull by poison injections, which
brought the quickest death possible to
them.
Two dogs were put to death at the
same time. Mrs. Murray is preparing
for a systematic slaughtering OF the
rest of her stock, including two fine
carriage horses, also an old horse and
mule which have been for many years
on the farm. She has given up driv.
ing and goes about in an automobile.
Mrs. Murray is said to have other
peculiar ideas regarding her farm

the second floor, where it is allowed to
settle, being drawn off always from the
top and run into a continuous evaDOr-
ator, where it is cooked into a 'semi-

tanks, where it filters through white
sand. After this it is pumped into a
large evaporator, where 1t is cooked to
a density OF IS deg. Beaume. This fn-
ishes the process, and the syrup is
ready for packing.
The Waycross Cane Growers Asso-
citation has been gathering cane to the
plant for the past week, and there are
large piles ready for the mill. The
farmers of the vicinity are bringing
their cane to the plant, and 1t Is likely
that it will be kept running for several
weeks. A toll of one fourth Is charged
for making syrup, and the association
agrees to market all the syrup tn
planters desire to sell if it be packed
in new packages.
The government station has already
stimulated the people of Ware and ad-
joining counties to save all the seed
they can spare for next years crop,
and it is likely that section will have
nearly half the open land planted in
cane.
