forbearing to read anything ex-
cept what the minister is then

and from gazing about, sleeping,

behavior"
1t looks as though there will be
some bitterness before long among
the Republicans in the Eleventh
Congressional District. The COM
mittee, when it met the other day
and selected April Goth as it's con-
vention date, discussed candidates,
and it is understood they decided
that as yet there was no desirable
timber in sight, despite the fact
that Thomas K. Niedringhaus and
Don M. Summers have been men,
toned, the former as a tentative
candidate and the latter a red-hot
seeker of the nomination. The
committee was inclined to make
its own choice. 1t is said they
favor Attorney H. S. Caulfeld,
who lives in Westminster Place.
Whether Mr.. Summers will kick
up a row or Mr.. Niedringhaus take
umbrage at the selection, is a re-
suit the voters are looking to now
that the committee has sidestepped
the candidates. AS to Mr.. Caul-
field, it is said he is seeking no
such difficult task as the Eleventh
District presents.--St. Louis Mirror.
Mr.. Caulfield is a young man of
marked ability and a splendid
fellow. In years gone by he used
to spend a good many of the sum-
mel days in the Valley, and has
many friends here who wish him
well. Should he be chosen to
represent the Eleventh District,
we are certain his record will be
one of which his constituency will
be proud.

A very cold rain has been fall
ing steadily here for the past six
hours, which makes things gloomy
indeed.
Rev. La Tour filed his regular
appointment at the First Baptist
church Sunday, March 18th. Rev.
L. is a good preacher, a good man
and always attends strictly to his
own business. 1t is singularly
strange how many people can not
do that. Not long ago we heard of
a certain person, who calls himself
a minister, offering his criticisms,
uncalled for, about persons and
things in general. When a min
lister has so little to do that he can
find time to criticise the dress of
certain young persons, we think
that he is surely a long way from
the Kingdom. Many a man with
serious air will wake up some day
in that realm where it is said all
fiddlers go.
1t was with much sadness that
the intelligence was received of
the recent death of my old friend,
H. G. Twomy, near Ironton. Mr..
T. was a good man who tried to
live a Christian life; honest, con-
scientious and kind hearted. A
few years ago he was n of Iron
county's very progressive teach
ers, but owing to i'll health aban-
doned the profession, and gave his
time to light work on his farm, in
hopes that he might possibly re-
gain his health. But God had
willed otherwise, and the ravage
of disease steadily Slapped his life
away. And now that he is gone
from among us, may we not hope
that his spirit is to-day at rest in
the realms of eternal bliss! One
by one, this generation is gradu-
ally passing away, and the places
that once knew us will know us no
more. But such is the common
Efate of all, and we should not
weary knowing such is true.

Many Ways to Cook Oysters.

Oyster Soup-Drain two quarts of oysters
and save the liquor. Rinse the oysters in
cold water and add to the liquor a few
blades of mace. two stalks of celery
chopped fine, a teaspoonful of black pepper.
a dash of cayenne and salt Simmer five
minutes, then add a quarter of pound of
butter rubbed smooth with two Tablespoons
fuls of flour and three pints of rich cream
Let this come to a scald, stirring all the
time; then put in the oysters. which must
just scald. Pour into a hot tureen and serve
at once
Fried Oysters-Select fine large oysters,
drain and pat them dry on soft white
cloth. For one quart of oysters mix three
well beaten eggs with equal quantity of
cream. Season with salt and pepper and
dip each oyster in the mixture. After re-
moving the oysters roll them in fine bread
crumbs. Lay them aside in a cool place
for half hour then fry in olive oil at the
boiling point Fry a rich brown, drain
thoroughly on paper and serve with a gar
nishing of parsley and sliced lemon.
Oyster Rabbit-When the oysters have
been drained pour cold water over them.
Into frying pan put two tablespoonfuls
of butter and when melted add half
pound of grated cheese, pinch of salt and
a little cayenne. When the cheese begins
to melt add the oyster liquor and two
slightly beaten eggs. When this mixture
thickens add the oysters that have been
scalded in their own liquor.
Oyster Cocktail-Chin the required num-
Der of deep glasses and into each put five
small oysters. For a dozen glasses allow
seven teaspoonfuls each of horseradish, to-
mato catchup and vinegar, ten teaspoonfuls
of lemon juice and pinch of red pepper.
Mix thoroughly and put an equal quantity
in each glass.

THE DEATH RATE OF INFANTS.
Its Increase Despite Best Efforts OF
Modern Science.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In spite of the increase in the pasteuriza-
ton of milk. in spite of the fact that in
some circles Of society there is a growing
knowledge about the care of infants, the
death rate of those under two years all
over the country is so large as to cause
great alarm. One of the most eminent spe-
cialists announces:
eff one hundred mothers of sound health
would agree to submit the entire care of
their infants to one direction / warrant
that not one of the children would, If
properly brought into the world, die of
summer disease"
This is an astonishing statement, but 1t
can be practically verified by nearly every
practitioner whose experience with the chill
dren has been large. 1t seems strange that
though the human race is thousands of
years old, there is SO little knowledge on
the part of mothers as to the proper care of
infants. 1t is because every mother de-
ponds on herself, her instincts or the poor
experience of others to help her children
through the critical portion of the year. In
these days physicians are doing their best
to inform mothers that the use Of raw milk
In summer time is dangerous-almost crimi-
nal. Especially is this the case in that
portion of the city where children never
get fresh milk. Little milk is served in this
city ludl Is UOl lWSuly-lOuT Olu, anu
since much of it is not kept on ice, the
process of souring begins soon.
This process is effected by the extraordi-
nary development of bacteria, which af-
feet the intestines of children and bring on
that long list of summer complaints. Wher-
ever there is intelligent care taken of chill
dren and wise supervision is exercised,
there is no more fear of dysentery in the
summer time than there is of smallpox.
Yet many thousands of children die every
summer because of neglect. There is no
mother in this city so poor that she cam
not send postal card to the board of
health for its instructions on the subject,
and to follow them not only costs less than
the ordinary practice, but is sure to result
in benefit to the infant.
The difficulty in impressing mothers Is
the fact that they assert that they know
more about children than any doctor who
ever lived, and insist upon practices which

struction for mothers.

preparing soups and cheap meat dishes. 1t Is
made as follows. Four rounded tablespoon
fuls of sugar are placed in an iron saucepan
over a brisk fire. Stir it until 1t melts, but
do not let II brown. Now add an equal
quantity of onions chopped coarsely. Cook
this mixture until it smokes and burns a
little. Now add a cup Of water and COOK
until it is Ike thin maple strip. Strain
through cheese cloth. and pour into a bot
tie. 1t win keep several months, and Will
color and flavor soups and sauces.
If the onion f1avoring is not desired, but
a brown color is demanded. use the caramel
coloring. Put one cupful Of sugar and two
teaspoonfuls Of water in a saucepan and
stir constantly over brisk fire until 1t is a
dark color. Add half cup Of water and a
pinch of salt. Let 1t boil few minutes
and when cold bottle. This will keep for
soma time.
For immediate use: Put one cup of granu-
lated sugar into an iron saucepan. With q
wooden spoon stir 1t over brisk fire until
the sugar melts and burns an amber color
Do not let 1t reach the point where 1t
smokes, but the instant 1t turns amber add
half cup of boiling water, and stir until
the sugar is dissolved. Boil a minute or
two and turn out to cool.
