puddings Here Is a new way: The
sago or tapioca is cooked to a clear
jelly in water in double boiler and a
pinch of salt added. Turn this into
the juice OF several oranges, mixed
with plenty Of sugar If they are tart.
II too sweet, use a little lemon juice
with them. Pour into a serving dish
to cool and prepare two nice oranges
for the top by cutting them, skin and
ALL into thin slices. Lay the slices
prettily over the top and place on ice.
In this way the heat does not draw
out the bitter taste of the oranges.
Bread is often wasted that could be
utilized in batter cakes or puGdiugs.
The queen Of all puddings IS an old

Pure Food Law viii Raise Price Of
Desert and Other Things.

Washington operations Of the
federal pure food law are plainly goins
to add still further TO the cost OF
living in American homes. How much
the increase will be can only be esti-
mated thus far.
The manufacturers whose products
and methods will require to be
changed in order TO comply with new
regulations can only guess at the eX.
pense of the changes, But speaking
broadly, the use Of preseryatiyes and
coloring matter has made It possible
to sell many staple articles to the
public for less money than they can
be sold for when these are not used,
Take the single list of canned fruits
and vegetables, pickles, preserves,
jams, jellies, catchups and tho like
Coloring and preserving matters are
used in these. Some manufacturers
claim to produce them without pre-.
seryatyes, but the housewife who
wants to know how much is saved by
the privilege Of using these things

grocer the difference In price betweon
the goods that are guaranteed to be

which are not.

How to Launder kerohlefs.

When washing handkerchiefs put a
small muslin bag containing a little
arrowroot in the water in which they
are boiled. This will give them y
faint but agreeable scent when ironed
II boraX is added to the rinse water
It will give the sheer handkerchiefs a
little body without making them
harsh as when stiffened with starch
Then when ironing the handkerciefs
an excellent plan is to fold all torn or
ragged ones in three-cornered shape,
while those that are in perfect condi-
tion may be folded square. If the
members of the household are taught
the significance of the different
shapes they viii often be saved from
the embarrassment of opening up a
ragged handkerchief, which was ap-
parently respectable when neatly
folded.

COMMUNITY OF TEMPERANCE
ADVOCATES THRlVEs.
Vice Unheard Of In Benedicta-is
Without Jail, Poorhouse, Free
from Debt and Has Cash
on Hand.

Boston.-Benedicta, in Maine, is the
Roman Catholic Utopia and the dream
of the w. c. T. U. come true. 1t is
tabloided Home Rule. Irish Catholics
settled in It. Their descendants,
sturdy Americans, run it. Only Cath
olics live there now, and probably
only Catholics will ever live there.
1t is crimeless, jailless, poorhouseless,
free from debt and ideally admins
tered.
AS a community Benedicta is more
IDEAL than Moore's Utopia or Ba-
cons New Atlantis" Though 40
miles from any other town and 100
miles from a railroad, Benedicta has
electric light service, a municipal
water supply, several fine buildings,
and all the conveniences of a thor
oughly modern city.
Benedicta is not only free from
debt, but has a surplus in the treas
ury. Moreover there is not z poor
family in the place and there never
has been any occasion for the estab-
lishment of any of the usual institu.
tions for the poverty stricken or peace
breakers.
When Fenwick started his colony
he purchased more than 10000 acres
of fertile timber lands, comprising
the western half of a township in
Aroostook county. There he began
to build up an ideal community of
temperance residents.
Though many of the younger gener-
alton have gone to cities for work,
leaving their elders on farms, the cen.
sus of 1900 showed that the colony
numbered $50 persons.

NEW RECORD IN JUNE BRIDES.
One Every Thirteen Minutes for the
Month in Chicago.

Chicago.-While you read these
words, stop and think! Chicago has
1900 June brides to-day! The love
bug has been working overtime and
has broken all records.
Three thousand three hundred June
brides! That means 40 brides day
or one every 13 minutes!
Hymen, Cupid & Co. report the
most prosperous month since the firm
was established.
Last year there were 3,103 June
brides; in 1905, 1907; 1904, the record
was 2,75S.
Marriage License Clerk Salmonson,
the man who has opened the door
of welded happiness to hundreds and
hundreds of thousands of Chicagoans
and others, preached a little lay SER
mon the other day for June brides.
These are the points on which he laid
stress:
l. Love your husband always.
2. Be his companion, his friend, his
chum
9. Never. never pe suspicious or
nagging.
4. Study his tastes and give him
what he likes.
5. Get up and cook his breakfast
for him.
6. Make his home as attractive for
him as you can-as attractive as the
club or the saloon.

This is an excellent way to use up

Pour French dressing over all, mix

never was so plentiful. The west is
particularly fortunate to have this
cash at this time, when loans in the
east are demanding good premiums.
and this condition is largely indicative
of the prosperity of Nebraska agricul-
tural interests resulting from bount-
full crops
The Nebraska farmers are buying
more machinery, building material
and live stock than for many years.
They have had several good crops in
succession, and they are all on easy
street. The sale of their products
has brought much money to the state,
and this has gone mostly into local
banks, which carry their cash bal
ances in Omaha national banks. Com
paratively few mortgages are held
THE money made by the farmers
has piled up in the banks until it be-
came necessary to seek short-tlme
loans in the east. Eastern borrowers
have not been slow to ask for these
loans. however, and eight of the
largest Omaha institutions receive
daily quotations on eastern securities.
Most of these loans are placed
through New York and Boston finan-
cial institutions which act as brok-

ndon-During the first three and
q half months Of 1907 the deaths from
the plague in India totalled 49i, 900
the heaviest monthly mortality yet
reported during the epidemic. Ac
cording to the Indian World this
would appear TO show that the present
year will exhibit a record number OF
deaths
The plague records for tho ten
years October, 1896, to December
1906, show that there was a large
annual increase from 1901 to 1904, the
deaths numbering 274,OOO in 1901, ST..
O00 in 1902. $4,000 in 1903 and 1922.
600 in 1904, the worst year in ten
years.
There was a small decrease in 1905
the deaths falling to 951 900, and a
large decrease in 1906, when there
were only $4,000. The total deaths
for the whole ten years numbered
4,411,212. The improvement which
was shown in the two years 1903 and
1906 has not, unfortunately, been
maintained.
From the first appearance of the
disease up to the year 1901 the NOR
