The large six-compartment cookers
first made weighed $50 pounds each,
but they have been lightened, and one
development is a single compartment
cooker weighing little over 100
pounds which has found much favor
because it can be packed readily on a
mule. assuring hot supper for a de-
tachment at the end of a days scout.
Another Improvement about to be in

Several hours later Mr. Newsom

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong II the break

pie. What you eat does harm IL you

A bright lady teacher found this to
be true. even OF an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
Two years ago I contracted a very
annoying form of Indigestion. My
stomach was in such condition that
a simple breakfast OF fruit. toast and
egg gave me great distress.
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such simple diet
but finally had to give 1t up, and
found a great change upon cup OF
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. For
more than year / have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
II havc been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means a saving of nervous

PLAN COLONY in TEXAS.
Big Tract to Be Settled BY Farmers
from Europe.

Chicago.-A tract OF land compris-
ing $4,000 acres. has been purchased
near Raymondville. Tex. on the Gulf
Coast railroad, for the colonization of
farmers from France, Belgium.
Switzerland and Holland. The land
was purchased by A. NJ. Davidson. of
Chicago. and the colonists are being
found by his eminence. Mgr. ]. R.
Vilatte. right reverend archbishop and
primate of the Old Roman Catholic
Church in the United States.
The plan of the archbishop. who
makes his headquarters In Chicago.
is to colonize the tract with people
OF his own religious faith. Ninety
acres have been set aside In the CEN
ter of the tract. and upon this will
be erected monastery and cloister
for the education of priests and for
the preparation of young men for the
ministry. The archbishop will be at
the head of the monastery.
1t is the purpose of those who are
carrying on the project to allot the
land to the immigrants in 40-acre
tracts. which is the largest farm one
man can handle in that section of the
country. From France grape grow
ers are to be taken to secure ex-
perienced agriculturists or horticul-
turists. The archbishop will superin-
tend the selection of the colonists and
see to 1t that no undesirable immi-
grants are brought in.

The annual house cleaning is now in progress

mathematician to figure out Just how many
coats of paint how many yards of plastering and
how much expenditure of money there have been
lavished upon this historic old building. Every
year the interior is gone over and every year the
outside is either painted washed, that the
giistening whiteness may be retained.
The decorations of the executive mansion
need careful attention always. and the paint and
enamel work has to be kept clean and free from
all marks and scratches. The multitude of pill

to be critical and II any dirt any DETACHMENT

Considerable alarm is felt in official circles
over the rapidly increasing number OF anarchists
that finding their way to the United States.
The immigration authorities of the opinion
that unless something is done by treaty or other
WISE the United States will soon be overrun by
this undesirable class. In the naturalization law
recently passed there is restriction giving
citizenship to anarchists and regulations now
being formulated to make this effective. That.
however, does not prevent anarchists coming to
this country and preaching their doctrine 1t is
a comparatively easy thing for this disordery
element to obtain admission to this country and
congress will be asked to consider more drastic
regulations regarding them.
