TROUBLE OVER TOWN LOTS
Legislation Will Be Needed to Right
Matters in Indian Territory
Town Sites.

Muskogee, l. There are liz
towns in Indian territory in which
the government has not yet COM
pleted the sale of town lots. The first
towns that were appraised and the
lots sold under government superyi..
sion are now making final settlement
and every day the Indian agent sends
out hundreds of notices to the prin,
cipal chiefs that final payment has
been made on lots in the various
towns.
Some peculiar conditions have
arisen and without relief legislation
the government will never be able tn
close the townsite business. In some
OF the towns there are lots which are
not worth the appraised value. and
they have never been sold, as the
government cannot accept less than
the appraised value. There will have
to be legislation allowing authority to
make disposition of such property.
Again there. are hundreds of in.
stances where purchasers have made
payments in lots, but have not made
the final payment. The deeds cannot
be issued until the final payment Ia
made. These payments must not run
over 60 days past due, and ten per
cent. interest is charged, but there is
no way to enforce the payment of the
interest or the last payments either.
IL the purchaser wants to let the prop-
erty drop. In such cases the property
reverts to the tribe and there 1t
stands. They are found in eyery
one of the 300 government towns In
the territory. It is believed by the
townsite department of the Indian
agency that such relief will be pro.
vided in the Indian appropriation bill
this session of congress.

mamma, who became so fatingued
waiting her turn-she did not have the
entree and had to come in with the
general company-that she tainted and
was carried away from the crowd, had
to have her dress cut and lie down q
couple of hours. 1t was not possible
to get her so much as drop of tea, as
in Victoria's day no refreshments were
given. But the rest revived the girl
somewhat, and her Spartan mother de-
cided that, as the drawing-room luckily
happened to be long one and there
was yet time, to have her dress re-
paired and the girl go through the
presentation. She did, received the

AT the entrance to the august apart
ment, the second precious card is deliv-
cred up to an attendant, who hands II
to the lord chamberlain. This func-
tionary in a loud voice announces the
names of debutante and lady present
ing. With heart throbbing, film be-
fore the eyes, the awed debutante
makes her curtsies and, with what
grace she is able, retires. Formerly
she had to back out of the room, a very
difficult matter with that numbering
long tail, four yards in length. The
article in the Canadian Magazine in
forms us that formerly an attendant
equipped with a rod lifted the long
train and put it over the lady's left
arm; "the debutante should keep her
wits about her and have her arm ready
to receive the train, as unwary and un-
fortunate debutantes have before now
literally received the trains over their
beplumed heads"

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drink

1t is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as 1t Ia for
whisky or tobacco fiend to break OF,
except that the coffee user can QUIT cof-
fee and take up Postum Food Coffee
without any feeling of loss Of the
morning beverage, for when Postum IL

most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur IL

the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left of and Postum Food

and in Its place is taken liquid that
contains the most powerful elements of
nourishment.
1t is easy to make this test and prove
these statements by changing from cof-
fee to Postum Food Coffee.
There's q reason"

A presentation at court involves no
little fatigue and is assuredly an or
deal. 1t is by no means easy nova
days for the American-in spite of the
eligibility--to get the favor of the
ambassador" and win the coveted
cards of invitation. If favored, two
cards are received, upon which appear
the name of the lady who is to present
the debutante and the name of the
debutante. Now the question of gown
engrosses attention, and at last the fate
full day arrives The start for Buck
ingham palace is made due early, that
the experienced coachman may line
up in good place. There are several
entrances to the palace; the garden
entrance is reserved for the royalties
and their equerries; by Pimlico en-
trance and state entrance the company
is admitted; one ingress is sacred to
the corps diplomatique and those that
hold the entree-wives and daughters
of ambassadors and other distinguished
foreigners connected with the legations,
and wives and daughters of high Of
ficials of the court and government.
To hold entree means not only the
courtesy of a special entrance but also
an early presentation.
At the afternoon drawing-room there
would be a tedious wait before the pal
ace, the grand ladies at the mercy of
the cockney come to look his fill at the
show and sharpen his wits bit. 'It
is wit which embraces every phrase
ology from the sporting slang in which
a bechecked coster acquaints his Ar
riet with the fact that in his opinion
such and such a dowager Indicated by
personal description which admits of
no doubt as to identify should be
scratched because she carries too much
weight to the poetic panegyric which
describes a blonde debutante as
primrose fioatin' in yer pot o. beer, If
you loike."
At last the palace gate is open, one
leaves ones cloak, delivers one
card and makes progress through vari-
Gus apartments, sometimes through a
much hindering and heartrending
crush wherein chaperon and debutante
are separated and it would seem never
could be brought together again. But
they always get together, somehow or
other, in time for the entrance to the
ballroom where their majesties of to-
day hold court.
Nine. Waddington, in her charming
pictures of a diplomats wife at the
court of st. James, gives us an idea of
the wearisomeness of a drawing-room
after one has seen the show a number
of times; and 1t also of the ordeal it
proves to young girls. She tells of one
young English girl, fragile creature

SOME FAULTS IN DIARIES,
Conditions Which One City Milk In
spector Found to Exist on
Some Farms. E

A city milk Inspector Visited the
farms supplying milk to his city and
found many improper conditions exist
Ing. In his report givenfbelow can you
lind any item which would condemn
your dairy:
1. Barns not sufficiently ventilated.
2. Surroundings not sanitary, espe-
cially as to removal OF manure. which l
usually found piled up against the barn
In convenient place. This should not
be allowed to accumulate, but should
be removed daily
3. Stanchions should be better
drained. and mo- stagnant water or pigs
allowed, in the barn yard
A. Milk houses not usually provided
with screens or cement floors. Flies
noticed in milk.
5. Cows ndders should be cleansed
better. Some had an entirely wrong
idea of cleanliness, both as to the cows
and as to the hands and the clothing
of the mixers. In one instance, a small
bucket Of cold water and thin, dirty
looking rag were used for all the cows.
BY the time the udders of six cows were
washed off the water and wash rag were
not very clean.
6. In several diaries each mixer
would use several pals, and after fill
ing once would leave it stand uncovered,
open to the flies and numerous sources
OF infection always present. At two
places found helpers straining milk
through dirty cloths, in which a handful
of flies had found their last resting
place.
z. Cans not sterilized by boiling wa
ter or steam, but hastily washed with
iukewarm water, and set aside to dry,
under roof, sometimes with cover on.
This should not be done. 1t is impor-
tant to sterilize them with boiling wa
ter or superheated steam every time
they are used, then put upon a clean
frame, upside down, with covers on,
and fully exposed to fresh air. Bottles
and other containers should be treated
likewise.
8. Chickens allowed too many liber-
ties about the place. 1t is impossible
to train chicken, but the screens which
are needed to keep out flies and other
insects will keep them out.
g. Improper feeding. Some dairymen
consider certain feed good which do
not, think is fit to use. will report
more fully upon this important subject
when I have concluded my investiga-
tions.
10. At one farm noticed dogs were
1sed for driving his cows. This l do
not believe good practice.
IL. In one place found bad WELL
The water was used for the cows and
also for rinsing the cans. When ty-
phoid fever is caused by the milk and
1t has been traced to the milk in sew
eral epidemics, it is invariably due to
water used in rinsing the milk cans or
other containers with infected water
This well was condemned.
IL. Whitewash not much used In the
barns. The above criticisms do not
apply to most of the diaries. Some
were models of cleanliness; barn clean,
fresh and we'll ventilated, stanchions
properly kept and drained, milk house
clean as good housekeeper's kitchen,
screens in nearly everywhere, and
cleanliness noticeable everywhere. The
fact that some diaries were models of
cleanliness convinced the inspector that
it was not necessary to have the faults
mentioned in any of them.
