WENT TO TEA
And II Wound Her Bobbin.

Tea drinking frequently affects peo-
pie as badly as coffee. A lady in Sails
bury, Md, says that she was COM
PEELED to abandon the use of coffee a
good many years ago, because it
threatened to ruin her health and that
she went over to tea drinking, but
finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that
she had lost twenty-five pounds and
no food seemed to agree with her
She further says: "As this time I
was induced to take up the famous
food drink. Postum, and was SO much
pleased with the results that l have
never been without it since. I COM
menced to improve at once, regained
my twenty-five pounds of flesh and
went some beyond my usual weight.
Il know Postum to be good, pure,
and healthfuI, and there never was an
article, and never will be, 1 believe,
that does so surely take the place of
coffee, as Postum Food Coffee. The
beauty of it all is that it is satisfying
and wonderfully nourishing. l feel as
if l could not sing its praises too loud"

VEGETABLES IN TABLOID FORM.
Process That condenses Bushei of Po-
tatoes to Pocket Size.

The vegetable dehydrating plant
which is being installed at Waukesha
in the buildings formerly used as Wis
consin Central repair shops, is being
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. Thousands of dollars worth
of special machinery, on which patents
have been secured, is being built. A
miniature plant, set up at the plant of
the Waukesha Canning company, has
been in operation for several months
and is being worked day and night.
Already the product is in use on the
battleships of the United States navy.
AS no arrangements were made last
fall for vegetables, the supply for the
miniature plant has been purchased
in the market at the prevailing high
prices. In a fortnight it is expected
that a crop of spinach, now in the
ground, will be gathered and put
through the process, after which other
crops planted by the company will be
ready. An idea of the transformation
caused by the process is gained when
it is given out that a bushel of pota-
toes can be condensed to size that
can be carried in ones pocket and
none of its food qualities or flavor lost.
The big plant will doubtless give en-
ployment in season to large force,
composed to a considerable extent of
women. Very little information has
been given to the public as regards
the operations of the company, as the
process of dehydration is a secret, pre-
sumably valuable one. The success
of the new project will be awaited
with interest. The fact that this city
is the cradle of an industry which, if
as successful as it's promoters believe
it will be- may have a far-reaching eff
feet on the food supply of nations,
gives the new plant unique interest

HIGH CHEESE SCORES.
First Results of University of Wiscon-
sin Scoring Exhibit.

sin Scoring EXHIBIT.
The results of the first of the new
series of scoring contests for Wiscon-
sin cheesemakers, conducted by the
dairy school of the University of Wis
consin, just announced, show seventy
six entries of various kinds of cheese,
the general makeup, style and quality
of which were excellent. Among the
entries were seventeen flats, forty-One
daisies. three Young Americas, three
long horns, two prints nine brick and
one limburger. The principal defects
were old or unclean milk fiavOrs,
yeasty and fermented whey favors,
with somewhat open but tough tex
ture Cleaner milk is necessary to i'm
prove the quality of the cheese, as an
excellent quality can not be made
when old or tainted milk is delivered
to the factory. The highest scores for
cheddar cheeses were: N. L. Ropp,
Wrightstown, 97.58; John Hoeppner,
Marion, 97.41; H. w. Me1chert, Sey-
mOur, 97.16; F. J. Harder, Hilbert, 81.
For brick cheeses the high scores
were: E. r. Herbert, Juneau, $3.50;
c. F. Brinkman, Coon Valley, 1888; c.
Anderegg, La Crosse, 95. Chris Beller,
Mount Horeb, the only entry in the
limburger class, received a score of
1886. The average score for cheddar
cheese was 93s9, and the lowest score
$500 The average score for brick
cheese was 93.43. and the lowest 1925.
Nearly all of this cheese has been held
month in the dairy school curing
rooms, as it was green or fresh from
the hoop, when sent from the facto-
ries A much larger number of brick,
limburger and Swiss, as well as Amer
lean cheese is expected during the
coming months, as some of the facto-
ries begin operations later in the sea-

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with prOportiOnate
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. It is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement OF the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over s2,OOO,OOO in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
EQuitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1920 in 1904, 1882 in
1905, and only 14.489o in 1906 The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to 1929, 1874,
which was an increase of more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and I'M
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as it stands.

Apples Preserved in Ice.

J. c. Braunbeck of Wallis Run, Ly-
coming county, adopted unique
method of preserving his apples last
fall. He built bin in the orchard
seven feet wide, fourteen feet long
and three feet high. In the bottom
of this he put straw, then filled it with
apples, putting straw on the sides and
ends. Then he placed straw and corn
stalks on top. He dug a ditch around
it to keep the water from standing
there.
Some water, however, found its way
through the top and formed ice about
each of the apples, but they were not
disturbed until the ice had all melted.
The apples are now sound, crisp and
without wrinkle.

LOOK UP HIS REFERENCES.
Character of Tenants Make Reputa-
tons of Buildings.

1t pays to look up a mans refer
ences before finally renting him an Of
nee and accepting him as tenant, for
number OF reasons. First, because
it is not worth while to go to the ex-
pense of fitting up an Office only to
have your tenant skip" out or go out
Of business after paying few months
rent; and, secondly, so that you may
tamll1arlze yourself with the nature of
his business and avoid fakes"
When a building gets reputation of
having harbored number of shady
concerns it becomes less desirable
among the better class of tenants.
In this connection an interesting col
luquoy took place between a Western
Pr and the agent of one of New YorKs
tallest structures on Broadway. The
Westerner had come to think that all
he needed in renting an Office was his
check book and was taken aback when
he was asked some pertinent questions
as to his business, his previous land
lord and his past connections.
He was able to pass muster all right,
but remarked afterward that he would
ship his family tree on to New York
next time before attempting to rent
an office there
This condition is not so generally
true in New York or anywhere else as
it might be, but certain it is that much
loss could be avoided and cleaner
tenancy maintained by the exercise of
more precaution at the beginning. In
cidentally, it might be mentioned that
the best and surest way Of getting re-
liable information about any man is
to ask his former Misunderstanding
