EXTRA SESSION THIS FALL.
Mr.. Roosevelt Not Satisfied With the
Senate's Work.

Washington, March 14.-Prpsident
Roosevelt informed Senator Cullom
chairman OF the foreign relations
committee Yesterday morning that
if the senate approved the Cuban
reciprocity treaty with the conditions
imposed by the Democrats and
agreed to by Republican senators he
would hold himself free to call an
extra session OF congress in the fall.
At the same time he made the state
ment that il the treaties failed
through the neglect OF senator's to
remain in Washington and maintain
a quorum, he would consider himself
justified in calling another extra ses.
sion.
The president did not commit him
self positively to the extra session
call, but in expressing his views on
the subject he left no room to doubt
that the extra session would be call
ed. The president stated that an
extra session OF congress called at
this time would not be warranted as
it could act in the fall before the
sugar crop could be harvested. He
left himself entirely free to name the
exact date later, but made it clear
that congress would be assembled in
time tn adopt the resolution by both
branches of congress and perfect the
treaties before the regular st ssion.

off poor persons, especially the
very poor, would take more cereal
food and less meat they would be
better off physically and financially.
For instance, wheat costs three cents
a pound, as against fifteen cents for
beef. The pound of wheat contains
only 10 per cent moisture, while
the pound of beef is more than half
moisture. You get more than twice
the nourishment from three cents
worth of wheat than you do from
the pound of beef. Eat more bread
and wheat and less meat is a good
rule for hot weather. Man can live
by bread alone, while upon meat
alone he would soon die"
"How about summer drinks 2" said
DR.. Wiley, disdainfully. "They are
snares of the devil. The custom of
constantly dosing the stomach with
ice-cold drinks in summer is simply
suicidal. The extreme cold contracts
the pores through which the pepsin
is secreted and tends to longest the
cords of the stomach. When thirsty
in hot weather one should drink water
at from 60 to IS degrees. Drink
slowly, and all you want, and you
will find that water at this tempera-
ture quenches the thirst much better
than iced water"

AHeart to Heart Talk With Girls.

How I wish, as the rain patters
softly outside and twilight shadows
gather around, that I could have all
the farmer girls Of Hearts and
Homes with me tonight, including
dear Aunty Wallace in that coy
arm chair yonder.
What a splendid talk we could have
as we each took our turn telling all
our future hopes and ambitions of
life, for where is the girl who has
not these dreams of the future, and
[ am sure we all wish to aspire to
that which Eliminates our pathway
and makes for us a mark in the
world"
Now, dear girls, I wish to ask you
how many of us are satisfied with this
dear, quiet, farm life? No doubt
many of you envy the weIl-dressed
Getty girls" and you think how nice
it must be to have not much to do.

and walk the streets with apparently

What Shall We Eat in Hot Weather ?

DR.. H. W. Wiley, chemist of the
Department of Agriculture, an
swers that question in the following
interview, in which he takes occa-
sion to expires his opinion of soda
water and iced tea as sure means to
an early death. We quote:
"The devil turks in the soda water
fountain, and iced tea is simply sui
eide. If persons would only use pre-
caution there is no reason why one
should suffer more with sickness in
summer than winter. One of the
most fragrant causes of sickness in
summer is entirely overlooked by
law. l have on several occasions
called attention to the danger of eat
ing vegetables grown on or under
ground which has been. exposed to
contamination by sewerage, city
waste or garbage"
Asked if meat was unhealthy in
hot weather, he said: "Meat is much
more easily digested than starchy
vegetables, and is both nutritious
and continental. Vegetables are
watery, and furnish little nutriment,
their qualities being continental
and mechanical. Meat, good bread,
potatoes and milk free from germs
IS the diet to be relied upon at all
times for god health. Good bread
should be the foundation of every
meal, and too much care cannot be
given to its preparation. Bread

WOMAN'S WORK
The Preservation of Grape Juice and
Sweet Cider.


The manufacture of unfermented
grape Juice and of sweet cider as
sumes considerable proportions in
many localities, but difficulty is often
experienced in preparing a product
which will "keep," i. e., does not fer
ment.
Fermentation is due to the pres
ence of micro-organism in the juice
or cider, and may be prevented by
sterilizing the latter as well as the
vessels used in connection with the
bottling of the product. Heating
is the simplest, safest, and most eff
fective means of sterilizing, but
great care is necessary in order to
so control the temperature as to Sc
cure thorough sterilization without
injuring the flavor of the product. A
report of the Canada Experimental
Farms gives an account of a series
of experiments on the best means
of s~terilizing grape juice. The con-
c~lusion, which probably aplies to
sweet cider rs well as to grape juice,
was hat "the natural flavor of grape
juice may be preserved intact by rails
ing the temperature of the juice
gradually to 10 degrees F., keeping
it at this point for ten minutes and
then quickly bottling it, taking care
to use absolutely air-tight and
thoroughly sterilized vessels. These
vessels should be taken from a tank
or kettle of boiling water, immedi-
ately filled, and corked or covered
with the least possible delay"
The use of antiseptics, such as
salicylic acid, is considered unwise.
They are unnecessary, and unless
used with great caution may be in
furious to health.

from helping that dear father hoe
the garden? She bears the stamp
of true country life and we love her
all the more.
And, dear girls, did you ever stop
to think who does the duties at home
while these city girls in their fnery
are parading the streets? Who but
the dear patient mother, too often
her daughters slave. It is she who
sacrifices the little things in the way
of dress that her daughter may have
the extra new hat or dress while
mother remains at home, never seem
ing to care about going anywhere.
Dear girls, let us think these
things over seriously, for much we
owe our good, faithful parents, the
best friends we have on earth. Let
us say to ourselves, "In all prob
ability [ may be here but a few
years-not long enough to begin to
pay for all my PARENTS have done
fore me; how, then, may [ show my
gratitude 2" If you really want to
know I will say that in being cheerful
you can show your gratitude more
than in any other way, for the
world suffers most because of lack
of cheerfulness.
1t may be difficult for father and
mother to be always cheerful for
they alone are forced to bear many
trials of which the younger members
of the family never dream until
they go into homes of their own, and
nothing can Tighten their burdens
more than a cheerful son Or daugh-
ter. I can recall instances when but
a child I would experience a wicked
satisfaction in a ~deep-seated attack
of the blues, but the memory of
those days brings the quick tears to
my eyes and a guilty feeling to my
heart. Dismiss the idea that it is
not worth while to control your i'll
temper at home. While at sweeping,
cooking, or sewing, let us be happy,
and sing a cheeruful song, thereby
bringing into our parents life the
very element of sunshine. And if
your naughtiness must have a vent,
let it be noticed by only the outside
world. You will be glad when you
step out into the unknown future and
say goodbye to father and mother,
knowing that you are not likely to sec
them again on earth.-A. g., in Wal

EDITOR RRPoRTER:-The recent agita-

streets and the building of permanent
sidewalks has been noted by some of
your readers with interest and we await
further discussion of the matter. In the
meantime there is another side to the
question to which some attention might
be directed before eXacting anything
further from property owners individu-
ally. refer to the duty that town,
as corporation owes to the individual
who does his duty toward Identifying
and permanently improving his proper

nance to do so. To specialize / have a

keep lawn and parking neatly moved,
yet in spite of the fact that live with

that my neighbors and myself have petit

on two sides of me are almost impassa-

this the weeds have grown in them un-
molested all summer. The streets are
avoided by all travel not absolutely
necessary. Yet my taxes are higher
than ever before. Where do they go? 4 x

ment, the contestants being DR.. ]. w.

proved the winner, and was first to get
across with his tub, all of the contest
ants being dumped out in the lake be-
fore they got very far from shore. A
creased pole on which there was a
watch and $500 in money proved quite
an attraction, being finally climbed by a
small boy from Leon, Walter Osborn.
/ Then everybody, or a good share of
them, went to the ball game be-
tween Lamont and a club from the 111th
Alaskas, and it was one of the best
games ever seen here, being won by the
Alaskas by a score of 16 to s. 1t looked
like old times to see Jimmy Hurst in the
box, supported by such old timers as
Puny Warner and George Baker, but the
boys soon convinced the audience they
had not forgotten how to play ball.
Mayor Brenton officiated as umpire and
surprised the people by his agility in
getting around, and his decisions were
entirely satisfactory. Following the
ball game there was wrestling match
between James H. Alldredge and Joe
Cannon, two in three falls, and ALL
dredge won the first two falls.
In the evening there was magnifi-
cent display of fireworks, the beautiful
lake being illuminated all the way
around with colored lights, making a
gorgeous effect. The fireworks were
the best ever seen in southern Iowa, and
it can be truthfully said the reunion
closed in blaze Of glory, with every
body satisfied.

AFTER PENSION GRAFTERs.
Seventy Thousand Warning No
tices to be Sent to Old Soldiers.

Des Moines Register and Leader: To
warn old soldiers and old soldiers wild
ows against the frauds being perpetrat-
ed throughout the country, 10000 spec
ial notices will be issued from the local
pension Office to different points in Iowa
and Nebraska.
Men claiming to be agents for the
United States pension department have
been in Des Moines and other cities and
leNhorted money from pensioners by
promising to secure an increase in their
pension or where none is held to get
them a pension. From some people
they obtained S25 or $50 and promised
the pension or extension would be
Forthcoming soon. But the pension or
increase does not appear, and COM
plants are then made to the govern
ment. The United States officials have.
been after the swindlers for some time,
but as yet has been unable to capture
them. 1t is claimed that the grafters
jump from one large city to another.
There are several victims in Des
Moines. In order to warn all against
the fraudulent work, the government
has determined to send out notices.
Accordingly, Agent Richard P. Clarkson
Of this city has received notice that
circulars will soon be forwarded to him
which he is to send to every pensioner
on the books here. The notices to be
distributed throughout Iowa and ,Neb-
raska read as follows:
"All persons employed by the bureau
tof pensions are paid for their services
by the government of the United States,
| and are not entitled to collect any
money from any individual for perform
ance of their official duties.
Any man who pretends to be an officer
of the bureau, and demands compensa-
tion for his alleged services in that be-
half is an imposter and should be turned
over to an officer of the law.
The object of this circular is to pro-
tect all persons having business with
they bureau against the swindling
schemes and nnprineip pied imposters,
who falsely claim to be officers Of the
| IIgoyernment, having power to grant pen
fsions areas and increases and who will
cbllect money from their victims.
