Cakes Are All Right.
From Success Magazine.

AAOAAA
do you know why griddle cakes
hurt you?" demanded the high apostle
of Fetching. Because the syrup is
allowed to pass into the stomach with
out being properly mixed with the sa-
liva, which makes it digestible.
LAS soon as it enters the stomach 1t
becomes acid and interferes with ev-
erything 1t meets. Had the cakes been
properly masticated and mixed with
the saliva, the cana sugar would nave
become grape sugar. and in this form
1t is easily digested.
Why is it that stout people are adj
vised to- avoid starchy foods? Pota-
toes, eaten too hastily, when not craved
by the appetite, supply the system with
a superabundance Of fat inducing
starch.
Potatoes are supposed to produce
tat; but If your appetite Graves po-
tato, and you properly masticate 1T,
eating only as much of it as satisfies
your appetite. h system absorbs 1t
all. leaving nothing to produce fat"

DOUGLAS NEW BUILDING.
Big Shoe Company Incrcnscs Its
h Facilities.

The dedication of the new admins
tration and jobbing house building
erected by the W. H.. Douglas Shoe 60.
as Il part of its mammoth manufacture
ing plant at Montello. Mass, WAS
marked by the ~thoroughness and atten-
ton to detail characteristic of the firm
in all It's undertakings. AS the new
building Is said to be the most complete
and convenient Of amy ever built for a
commercial house in the United States.
so were the expressions of appreciation
by ttk many persons who visited it for
inspection sincere and of a highly con
gratulatory nature.
The completion OF this structure
marks the establishment OF n modern
upto-date Wholesale johbing house and
Office building. Mr.. Douglas has long
considered the a~dvisability of II job
bling lOuSa, not only for the purpose
of supplying his own retail stores more
| readily. but That the 1000 dealers
throughout the United States handling
the w. l.. Douglas shoes might be able
TO obtain shoes for immediate use with
greater facility. Under the present sys-
ten all shoes are manufactured to or
der. and customers sometimes lose sales
waiting for shoes to arrive. With the
new jotbing house they will be enabled
to have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received. which will
be far more satisfactory to the Gus
toner and will result in Il largely in
creased business to the w. l.. douglas
Shoe Co.
The new bu!idin. is $50 feet long and
GO feet wide and two stories In height
The jobbing department will occupy tic
entire lower floor. while the Offices vii
occupy the second floor. The jobbine
department will carry n complete stock
of mems. boys. youths. women's

po77Ep MEAT NOT PRESERVED.
Manufacturers, Association and SAM

Manufacturers' Association and San.
tary Inspector So Repo,t.
Thesfollowing extracts from reports
OF tho National Manufacturers Asso-
citation and Inspector HedriSk, Sanitary
Inspector of the City of Chicago, refuts
the sensational charges made against
the canned meat packers:
Our investigation Of the Canned and
Potted Meat part OF the packing industry
showed that the methods used make the
Use of preservatives unnecessary, and IN
dicated that no preservatives or ARTIFICIAL
| coloring is now used by the Canned Meat
packer.
The meat is first partially cooked in
! large kettles, then the fat and bone is
, trimmed off and the meat packed into
tins. The air ia then withdrawn with
vacuum pumps and the cans sealed in
vacuum. Next they are put into large
cookers. where the cooking process is fin
ished. In the packing of some products
it is necessary that the cans be reopened
and the steam allowed to escape, the vent
hole being Immediately resealed while the
goods are hot, SO as to retain the vacuum.
The entire process is quite similar to
that used by the family cook when putting
up fruits and vegetables, except that
meats are sealed in tin ans instead Of
being put in glass jars. We found that
.he solder in making the cans and in
sealing them is all placed on the outside
OF the can and does not come in contact
with the contents.
We were informed that much OF the
cause for complaint in canned meats was
because Of the mistaken idea that the
goods would keep in perfect condition af-
ter they had been opened. This would
be the fact IL they were preserved with
Chemicals. but as they are only kept in
condition because of being sealed in vac
uum tins they spoil just as readily a.
fresh meats do after they have been
opened and exposed to the air, but viii
keep indefinitely il tho can is not pune
tured. 1t is also a well-known scisn-
tihc fact that decayins meat generates
a gas which will explode any package
which is dramatically sealed

long enough so that they will extend for at
least a foot at each end on the stone
support. Then these pianks should be
crosseu with shorter planks nailed close
together up to the point where the long
blanks rest on the stone supports. Much
added strength Is obtained in this way and
at a minimum of cost. The whole struc-
ture ought to be arranged SO that there Is
at least eight inches Of good gravel over
the planks after they are placed IN posi-
ton. Tbs Illustration shows the plan clear
ly and with Its help one should have no
trouble IN constructing an ideal culvert

STOMACH WORMS IN sHEEp.

An experienced raiser of sheep remarked
that In nine cases out of ten when the
sheep or lambs. particularly the latter.
were troubled with any ailment which
could not be readily diagnosed it was safe
to say stomach worms and act accord
ingly. The particular stomach worm be-
ing considered is the small one about an
inch long and as th.in AS a fine wire: these
worms occupy the fourth stomach of the
animal gradually boring into vital parts
of the body. The animal becomes weak,
loses It's appetite and after a time dies.
The best known remedy is gasoline which
is given by using one-half ounce Of saso-
line mixed with four times the quantity
of milk or sweet oil and given to the AMI
NAL when the stomach is comparatively
empty: the dose specified is for a full
grown sheep. 1t is given through the
mouth of a pint bottle while the sheep is
standing. Care must he used that the dose
does not get into the windpipe of the ami
NAL. There is no danger in this treatment
but it must be carefully given for some.

the bloom will he most appreciated. Sweet
Aiyssum. saliva splendins. zinnias and
marigolds can all be sown now except in
the far. north and will bloom more or less
before frost. Among bulbs try a few
gladiolIs bulbs getting the large bulbs and
setting them rather deep in moderately
rich sandy soil. The fall bloom of some
OF these sorts Is we'll worth having and
certainly we'll worth the comparatively
slight effort required to obtain 4. If one

DAMAGE IN DETAIL

Patterson's Addition on the east side of the Frisco river was prac- tically wiped out. Most of the houses stood, but he water and mud lodged in them nearly to the window tops and they were swung and twisted all out of shape. The damage here will aggregate many thousand dollars.
 Farther down in East Clifton nearly every adobe house includ ing those of J. Harvey and Mike Reardon, melted down with a to- tai loss of house and contents. The house occupied by Judge NJ. Egan and James Cooper still stands but was badly flooded and Is considered unsafe.

water at that time flowing into the creek from all canyons above the town, including the concentrator only raised the river about ten inches
 Between ten-thirty and eleven o'clock another rise came down, adding more disaster to the strick- en city. Some of the people had returned to their houses and when this rise csme many were carried down the stream in the debris of the fallen houses, logs, etc., some going to q watery grave, while others were rescued by heroic feats of the life saving volunteers.
 In this manner the flood ragged on and finally showed signs of re- ceding, and when the creek became passable, hundreds of lanterns could be seen darting here and there on the hill sides, and in the less swiftly running water men waded to and fro examining the fallen houses and debris for the victims of the greedy stream.
