NO PASSES.
Railroad Employees Can't Get Trans
portation to Portland Fair.

The issuance of passes to and from
the Pacific coast to railroad employees
is to be discontinued during the prog
ress of the Lewis and Clark exposition
Considerable friction developed during
the St. Louis exposition between east
ern and western lines, and many COM
plications resulted. 1t was finally de-
cided not to issue any more free
transportation after a certain date,
but it alleged that this agreement was
broken by some of the roads. To OBJ
viate a repetition of this during the
Portland exposition. a consultation
was held between prominent officials
of the eastern and western roads,
which resulted in a virtual agreement
not to issue free transportation to and
from points on the Pacific coast.

To those of our readers who are ac-
customed to eating Malta-Vita cold

wish to submit some suggestions from
Mrs May Diets, of Boyne City, Mich
who is evidently an artist in dainty
dishes. Her recipes, which we pub

"I certainly think Malta-Vita is one
of the very best foods manufactured
and am decidedly a fast friend of it,
I enclose three of my favorite recipes
for serving Malta-Vita.
MaIta-Vita Custard.
Beat five eggs and one-half cup
sugar well together, add 1 quart sweet
milk and a pinch of salt, season with
extract of lemon or the juice of one
fresh lemon, which is better: bake in
a moderate oven. When about half
done, stir carefully in one cup Of
Malta-Vita. Serve warm or cold as
preferred.
A Quickly Prepared Dainty.
Into half a dozen or more dessert
dishes place about three level table
spoonfuls of Malta-Vita to each dish,
with two tablesDoonfuls of thick
cream each; cover with a stiff mer-
ingue. Select enough large, juicy
stra wberries to allow about three to
each dish. roll lightly in sugar and
drop carefully at a tasteful distance
apart from the meringue.
Orange Flake.
Sprinkle about two tab1espoonfuls
of Malta-Vita into a good-sized salad
bowl then a layer of peeled and thin
/ " sliced orange; repeat until dish is
nearly full having last a layer of
orange sprinkled thickly with shred
ded cocoanut. Place over this a heavy
plate and let stand for 20 minutes

WHAT IS BRIGHTs DISEASE?

Bright's disease is catarrh of the
kidneys.
Catarrh of the kidneys may arise
from the spread of catarrh from other
organs, or it may arise from some irri-
tatiOn of the kidneys directly in the
organs themselves.
In either case, the kidneys cease to
eliminate the urea poisons from the
blood and allow the escape of nutri-
tious serum.
This leads to the presence of albu-
men in the urine and a rapid decline
of the health and strength.
Peruna cures catarrh of the kid
neys. when all of these symptoms dis
appear.

He did. He asked her to take a walk
with him down past the haystacks and
into the orchard, and as he fired har-

saying to Betty:
Now, then, how much longer is that

Why doesn't be toe the mark like other

Came to Time

u DEL HASTINGS. sou Of Farme

U DEL HASTINGS, son Of Farmer
II Hastings and twenty-five years
~ old, had been counting Betty
Johnson, daughter Of Farmer
johnson and only a year younger, for
almost three years-that is, he had
taken her to the circus and spelling
schools and husking bees, and he had
called at the farmhouse Sunday and
Wednesday evenings and sat on the
edge of a chair and shut1ed his feet
around and spoken of the weather
and the crops. There was no doubt
that Joel was in love, but he was
bashful lover. He had been given sew
eral broad hints by Farmer Johnson
and several broader ones by Betty's
mother, and his own parents had asked
him if he was waiting for the earth to
revolve the other way, but the shy
Joel continued to be shy. While he
felt reasonably certain that Betty
