Judge Beer By
Its True Worth
Progressive Men and Women Consider
TIA Means to National Temperance.

We have recently published a num-
Der of articles on the food value of
beer, and we believe that sooner
later beer will be recognized at it's true
worth, a food beverage of splendid
tonic effect and high nourishing value.
Noted men and women of this country
are already alive to the situation and
besides Miss Phoebe Cousins and DIR.
Joseph Feisler of Northwestern Uni
versity, many others of note give their
endorsement to beer as means to ma
tional temperance.
Miss Cousins, for q quarter of CEN
fury the most eminent woman suf
frage advocate in the West said in
recent interview: There never will be
a law that will compel prohibition, and
the sensible thing for the Women
Christian Temperance Union to do is
to aid in the substitution of mild,
nourishing drinks like beer, which sell
dom produces drunkenness. A prOmi-
nent army officer who served in the
Southwest, operated canteens at three
different posts. He made the canteens
so acceptable to the soldiers, who
that he actually ran all the low dives
OF the surrounding neighborhood out
of business"
Pabst Beer meets all the demands
for mild, healthful, refreshing bever-
age such as Miss Cousins suggests. 1t
day malt, choicest hops and pure
water Eight-day malt, which is the
only perfect malt, gives Pabst Beer
its superior food value and richness
Strong in nourishment the body re-
quires, 1T is refreshing and satisfying
absolutely clean and containing only
three and one-half per cent of alcohol,
Pabst Beer is the ideal temperance
beverage. No other is SO healthful.

FEEDING Apples to Hogs.

DIR. c. L. Neiswanger, of Grand
View, forty miles from here, in
o wyhee county, came to town on
business last week. He brought
with him a wagon load of the finest
apples ever offered in this market,
measuring from twelve to fifteen
inches in circumference and really
good to eat. He says it doesn't pay
to bring them here to sell; that he
hauled these in because he had to
make the trip anyway, and was
strongly tempted to throw them
off before reaching here, so bad
are the roads. OF course, they
found ready sale, as would many
more wagon loads. The Doctor says
that he and his neighbors raise more
than they can possibly use, make
lots of cider and vinegar and feed
them to the hogs. He also states
that section of country is being in
vaded by large flocks of California
quail, and just how they happened
to find their way so far from home
is a mystery.

Gan Write on Both Sides.

March 1 next the new ruling on
postal cards goes into effect. This
order is explained by Postmaster
General Cortelyou in these words ::
The universal postal convention
recently concluded in the city of
Rome provides for the admission to
the mails, exchanged between all
countries of the postal union, on
and after October /, 1907, of post
cards bearing written messages upon
the left half of the front of the
cards; and as such cards are now
a limited at the postage rate applic-
able to post cards, both to the do
nestle mails of certain principal
countries of the union and to the
mail exchanged between them.
Therefore, from the date of this
order, post cards conform ng to
the provisions of the Rome con-
vention, when mailed in foreign
countries and fully prepaid by
POSTAGE stamps, shall be delivered
to addresses in the United States
without additional charge for post
age; and on and after March l.,
1907, such cards, bearing written
message upon the left half of the
front, the right half being reserved
for the address and postmark, when
fully prepaid by postage stamps at
the rate applicable to post cards,
shall be admitted both at domestic
and international mails of this
country and treated as post cards.

Wool Market.

The average of one hundred
grades of domestic wool, according
to the monthly circular of Coates
Brothers, of Philadelphia, rose
slightly during November to 20. 70
cents per pound. The change was
only trifling, and occurred mainly
in medium grades. Some broaden
ing in demand is noticed, and fair
business is recorded in grades that
had shown most inactivity. Deal
ers' stocks are diminishing and con-
signments from the west are readily
disposed of. Best interest in the
raw material market is still shown
by the worsted mills. The advance
of to 10 per cent in prices that
marked the opening of the London
auction sale was fully maintained,
and large offerings found a brisk
competitive demand. Domestic
markets undoubtedly received much
at London, as any weakness in
price would have brought heavy
imports and a much weaker sta
tistical position here. In Boston
wool continues active and the tram
sactions of the week are estimated
at between 5000, 600 and 10, 900. =
600 pounds. There are heavy de-
liveries also on old contracts, ship
ments for the week aggregating
$500, 600 pounds. Values are very
firm on all grades, with the ten
dency upward. Actual advances
have been secured on one quarter
blood and fine delaine in fleeces
and clothing territory woods are
selling at better prices than could
have been obtained month ago
and are generally held at firm
prices. Improvement in the piece
goods market and the continued
strength of foreign markets, where
values are rising, are the principal

war From . Thumb Bite.

Perhaps the most portentous IL in
nocent incident In the proceedings
leading up to England's war with
King Theodore of Abyssinia was--a
thumb bite. The British consul was
practically prisoner at his court
when Mr.. Stern, British missionary,
called upon the liking of kings" The
flrst mistake of the Englishman was
to seek an audience Immediately after
the king had dined too literally with
his court The second was his choosing
as Interpreters two utterly incompetent
men. The ineficiency of this pair so
angered the dusky monarch that then
and there he ordered them to be beat
en-. Mr.. Stern, unable to bear the
sight, turned around and bit his
thumb" Now, he was not aware of
It, but to bite the thumb is in Abys-
sinia defiance and threat Of venge-
ance. The quick eye of the king
caught the innocent menace, and he
had the missionary also beaten. From
that sprang the war, the defeat of the
forces of the king and his death by his
own hand in his ruined city of Mag
dala.-London Standard.

"A Patented Plant.

~ "One plant at least has been patent
3D." said an inventor 1T is the Abrus
precatorius, alias paternoster pea, alias
weather plant. John Nowack took out
the patent. The weather plant is still
believed by many persons to foretell
the weather. John Nowack was sure it
did so, and he put it on the market
along with an indicating apparatus,
guaranteeing it to foretell for forty
eight hours In advance and for fifty
miles around fog, rain, snow, hail,
earthquake and depressions likely to
cause explosions of fire damp. Alas
for poor Nowack! The experts of the
bureau of agriculture took up his pat
ented plant. They proved that the
movements of the leaves-to the right
foretelling rain, to the left foretelling
drought-were not caused by the
weather, but by the light. And they
proved that the plants famous down
ward movement, which was supposed
to foretell earthquake, was caused by
an insect that punctured the stem,
causing the leaf, naturally, to droop.
That is the only patented plant I
know of, and Nowack lost money on

A Native African Food.

The native food Of the Malunda coun.
try, In southern Africa, comprises ma.
nioc and that alone. 1t Is plant par.
ticularly adapted to wet, marshy soil,
says the author Of 'In RemOtest Ba-
rotseland." 1t takes two years to arrive
at maturity and while growing re-
quires very little attention. The root
when full grown Is about the size and
has very much the appearance of
German sausage, although at times it
grows much larger. One shrub has
several roots, and the extraction of two
or three in no way impairs the growth
Of the remainder. When newly dug it
tastes like chestnut, and the digestion
of the prOverbial ostrich can alone as
simulate it raw, but when soaked in
water for a few days until partly de-
composed, dried on the roofs Of the
huts and stamped it forms delight
fully white soft meal, far whittier and
purer than the best flour. Then it Is
beaten into thick paste and eaten
with little -flavoring composed Of
locust or caterpillar, which the ma
tives seek In decayed trees. Another
way Of eating this native luxury Is by
baking the roots after soaking them
and eating it as you would banana.

How to He Ready.

To know how to be ready-a great
thing, q precious gift and one that Inn
plies calculation, grasp and decision
TO be always ready man must be
able to cut knot, for everything can
not be united. He must know how to
d1sengage what is essential from the
detail In which it is inwrapped, for
everything cannot be equally consid-
cred. In word, be must be able to
simplify his duties, his business and
bis life. To know how to be ready is
to know how to start. 1t Is astonish-
ing how all Of us are generally cum
bered up with the thousand and one
hindrances and duties which are not
such, but which nevertheless wind us
about with their spider threads and
fetter the movement Of our wings It
Is the lack of order which makes us
slaves. The confusion Of today dis
counts the freedom of tomorrow. Con-
fusion is the enemy Of all comfort, and
confusion is born of proscrastination.
To know how to be ready we must be
able to finish. Nothing is done but
what is finished. The things which we
leave dragging behind us will start up
again later on before us and harass
our path. Let each day take thought
for what concerns it, liquidate its own
affairs and respect the day which is to
follow, and then we shall be always
ready. To know how to be ready is at
the bottom to know how to die.-Amiel.

though he appeared to outlanders, to-
the islanders he was a reckless In

slate instead Of with the traditional
turf, but could find none to follow his
example. They shook their heads In
doubt. He argued vainly with them
against the habit Of throwing fish
cleanings into the brook and getting
drinking water lower down. The only
advice they would accept from him
and that after long hesitation-was to
boil their fish oil outdoors instead of in
the firing room. But when this ter

confidently that the world could not

Buying Birds to Free Them.


Birds are often purchased in the bird
market at Lucknow, India, in order to
be set free again. This is done by Hin.
docs as work of merit and by Mo-
hammedans after certain rites have
been performed as an atonement, in
imitation of the Jewish scapegoat It
is essential that a bird used for this
purpose should be strong enough to fly
away; but that does not induce the
cruel dealers to feed the birds, or to
refrain from dislocating their wings or
breaking their legs. They put down
everything to good or bad luck, and
leave the customer to choose strong
bird, If he can find one, and to go away
If he cannot. The merit obtained by
setting bird free is not attributed to
Deity, but it is supposed to come In a
large measure from the bird itself or
from its attendant spirit, and hence
birds of good or bad omen, and es-
pecially kites and crows, are in much
demand and are regularly caught to be
sold for this purpose.

The Lottery In Italy.

Lotto banks do thriving business
in Italy. Millions of people of all
classes and conditions contribute every
week to the game, by which they hope
to make fortunes. The princess and
her maid. the professor and his pupils,
the bootblack and the army officer, the
crippled mendicant, school children
everybody Is drawn into the lotto net.
The main Office is in Rome, but sub
Offices are in operation in every hamlet
in the kingdom, and drawings take
place every Saturday in eight cities.
The public knows the hour of the
drawing, and the plaza near the Via
del Umitta, near the Quirinal, always
swarms with people when the little
blind boy draws five numbers of the
ninety which have been placed there.
These numbers are displayed on a
signboard in the order in which they
are drawn, and the player who has
bought ticket with the same num-
bers in the same order receives the
grand prize. The play keeps many
people still poorer than they would be
and Is great source Of revenue to the
country.-Illustrirte Zeitung.
