SCIENTIFIC BILL OF FARE.
A Good, Wholesome Meal Need Cost No More Than 22 Cents
 An Experiment.

To live luxuriously on 66 cents a day has been made easy by the department of domestic science at Teachers college, Columbia uni versity. Meals at P cents apiece have been prepared, and, what is more to the point, eaten with ap- parent relish by unbiased per sons, says the New York Sun.
 Inaddition, the chemical constit. uents in the food have been care fully weighed and measured, and it has been discovered that enough proteids, fats and carbo. hydrates exist in the 22-cent meal to support men working with the customary expenditure of force. At least, the textbooks say that the quantities are all right.
 The manner in which the discoy. cry was made is somewhat as fol. lows: Dean Russell planned a luncheon to some friends, and thought it would be clever idea to have the meal prepared by the department ot domestic science. The teachers laid out the plan of battle and the students did the cooking.
 The luncheon was served to six persons. The total cost of materi. als was $2.O2, from which was de. ducted the value of the food not actually consumed. This brought the total cost down to 1.28 for the six persons.
 This was the menu:

Obituary.

DIED-At Des Arc, Mo-, October
8, 1904, at 1920 A. M, Bert M.
Brainard, of consumption. He
was born'at GAINESVILLE, Wyoming
county, New York, December "A,
1868, and died at the age of SO
years, 9 months and IA days. He
leaves a wife and one little girl
nine years old to mourn his loss.
His Oldest child died when only
eight months old. He married
Miss Emma B. Slater, of Gains
vile, N. Y, March "a, 1888. They
came to Des Arc, Mo-, in 1889, and
have made their home here ever
since, except three years that they
spent in Colorado for his health.
Bert, as we called him, had been
afflicted with that dread disease
consumption for nine years, and
bore his %sufferings with a Christian
fortitude. He was a consistent
member of the M. E. Church, and
died as he lived, a good man, and
with full hope of meeting his dear
ones on the other shore.
His remains will be taken to
GAINESVILLE, N. Y, by his wife,
mother and sister, who were with
him when he passed away. May
God bless and protect his lonely
widow and orphan girl, is the
prayer of their friend ISAAC.

Nevada VS.. Colorado.

Nevada and Colorado, the former
with a Democratic governor and
the latter with a Republican gov
ernor, illustrate the difference be-
tween the orderly working out Of
reforms through law and the vio-
lent and lawless methods employed
by the representatives of plutoc-
racy. In Nevada John Sparks, a
Democrat, is governor. While he
is a man of large means and inter-
ested in both mining and agri-
culture, he is in sympathy with
the masses and anxious to improve
the condition of the laboring men.
The Democratic and silver parties
adopted platforms favoring an
eight-hour day. They were sue
~cessful, a fusion Legislature passed
the eight-hour law, the Democratic
governor signed the bill and the
fusion supreme court declared the
law constitutional. AS a result
Nevada has peace and progress.
In Colorado the people demanded
an eight-hour law and the law was
passed, but the supreme court de-
clared it unconstitutional. The
people then proposed and adopted
constitutions amendmentauthor
izing the enactment of an eight
hour law, but the Republicans
carried the State and while Sena-
tor Teller was elected by one ma
jority on joint ballot the corporate
influence was strong enough to
prevent the passage Of a law carry
ing out the constitution as amend
ed. AS a result of this disregard
of the will of the people by the
corporations Colorado is in a state
bordering on anarchy and the Re-
publican officials are the ones who
are ignoring the law. Peabody
ism is the natural and Legitimate
outgrowth of that contempt for the
rights and interests of the masses
which is manifesting itself more
and more among the plutocrats.
Governor Peabody is the willing
exponent of this element and his
administration is giving the peo-
pie a f~oretaste of what can be ex-
pected if organized wealth ever
gets unquestioned control of the
nation and carries out it's purpose
to employ the army for the sub
jugation of the wage-earners.
Democratic Nevada and Repub-
lican Colorado present a striking
contrast and make plain the differ
ence between the Democratic and
the Republican methods of deal
ing with the labor questionable

A Letter From Arkansas.

CLIO, ARK, Oct. A, 1904.
Ed. Register Il notice an item in
this weeks REGISTER that I feel
impelled to answer. "A take it that
you have never been the slave of a
gigantic corporation, therefore
cannot feel as / feel. You have
never had the bread and butter of
your family put in the balance
against your manhood, and virtu-
ally been asked to surrender one
or the other. If you do not catch
my meaning let me recall to your
memory the stirring times Of '96,
when all, or nearly all, the great
corporations tried to force their
employees to vote in the interest Of
the money power.
Having felt the power Of money
over manhood, I long, with all my
being, to relieve my fellow-coun-
trymen from that crushing weight.

posed amendments to the consti-
tuition Of Missouri, you say one

when all men were judged by the
amount of money they could COM
mand, but such is not the case to-
day; that is, such was the status
of things in many places.
