Apples Fried IN Batter.

Apples fried in batter make
most acceptable addition to the din,
ner as an accompaniment to roast
pork or veal or baked fish. Cut nice
fat salt pork in slices, parboil, then
fry crisp, but 10 not allow them to
blacken. Core as many large tart
apples as are required, but do not
pare. Slice in three or four cross
wise rounds and dip in batter
made of one cup of -four, one tea
spoonful of baking powder, a pinch
Of salt and sweet milk to make the
consistency of thin pancake batter
Have the pork drippings nice and
hot, dip each slice of the apple in
the batter, coating both sides, and
fry light, delicate brown in the
hot drippings.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish d particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutrl-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifies the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DIR.

A Poor Press AGENT.

Max O'Rell was exceedingly popular
las lecturer. and the way in which his
mother viewed the suggestion that her
son should take to the platform is
,worth repetition. She wrote to him
from the native village which she had
fhever left for more than day to say
that she did not think appearing before
audiences to be reputable business. and
Rwhen he replied that he had decided to
tdo it and had signed a contract to that
effect the dear old lady wrote back
THAT she was still his loving mother

village about it.

Passengers on the George W

SIX second cabin passengers arrived on
the steamer and all were glad TO reach
port. Soon after crossing the bar off
Astoria last Friday morning the steamer
ran into rough weather, and until Point
Reyes was abeam, the Elder was plung
ing and rolling in seas that were some
times mountainous. On the starbOard or
seaward side of the steamer great waves
boarded the Elder and smashed doors
and windows. One of the male passengers
was washed from his bunk and injured
by striking on the door frame. Many Of
the state rooms were flooded ana the
water even entered the dining saloon.
The assistant cook, J. Mahoney. was
thrown across the galley by the lurching
of the vessel and sustained serious in
