Dalntles Made with Dates.


The date Is an extremely wholesome
and nourishing food, and one which
could be much moro sdvantageously
used than seems the rule. It 10 much
cheaper than prunes or apricots of equal
grade, and requires practically no sugar
in the simpler dishes prepared with 1t.
A very few minutes Is required to cook
dates, and they arc easily and quickly
washed and stoned. They como from .
dusty and not too hygienic country, how
ever, and should be washed thoroughly,
whether they are to be eaten cooked or
uncooked. After washing, drain and re-
move the stones. Some very pleasing
ways of serving them are the following:
DATE BLANC-MANeE.
Flavor q quart of plain blanc-msnge
with vanilla; while warm, stir In two
cupfuls OF stoned dates, pour into q
wetted mold, and set on ice to harden.
When firm, turn out and cover with
whipped cream or the whites OF two
eggs whipped to stiff snow with two
tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar.
Decorate with blanched split almonds or
halved English walnut meats.
DATE JELLY.
Wash one pound of dates and let them
soak in four cupfuls Of water for two
hours. Drain off the water, strain. 1t,
and put it in saucepan with one and
one-half cupfuls of sugar. Stone the
dates, add them to the syrup, and lot
simmer for FIVE minutes. Before remov.
ing from the fire, stir into them half .
box of gelatine which has been soaked
until soft in half cupful of cold water.
Stir over the fire until the gelatine 10
dissolved, then pour into a mold and set
in cold place until hardened. Servo
with whipped cream heaped around the

Tho remarkable success of
Rexall Dyspepsia T ablets Is
largely due to the new and sue.
cessful method of manufacture,
whereby the we'll known prop.
critics of Bismuth Subnitrate
and Pepsin have been combined
with carminitives and other
agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pep
sin are recognized by the entire
medical profession as specifics
for acute indigestion or chronic
dyspepsia.
The pepsin used Is manufac-
tured under a new process
which develops its greatest ef.
ficiency. Pepsin not only sup

CHANCE FOR R. R. EXTENSION.
Link from Somerset to Placita Would Seem to be moi
Only Convenience but Great Money Maker
For The Company.

ds III Inc usually dstutc NlO
Grande were overlooking a bet in
this matter
Mr.. Cline was intimately as
sociated with the engineers who
surveyed the proposed c. F. & |
line over from Redstone He
tells US that the proposed line is
just thirty FIVE miles long to con
meet from Somerset to Placita.
and that the grade is two and a
half per cent, most favorable
broad guage grade. The saving
IN distance between Somerse, and
Denver would be los miles. an
item that would seem TO be worth
saving on the immense amount of
coal taken from their mines at
that place.
The building OF this link would
open up the Muddy valley. a
typical hay. grain and stock coun-
try. OF great extent and wonder
ful producing capacity. In tact
the line would pass through a
good producing country from
Somerset clear to Placiia Take
this in connection with the enor
nous saving in mileage on the
output OF the Somerset mine
alone. and the project seems very
attractive. But there is another
great field To be opened and ex-
plotted according TO Mr.. Cline.
The proposed line would pass
very close to the famous Mum
cey anthracite land. one of the
best anthracite propositions in
Colorado. and an industry that at
present is attracting the greatest
attention from fuel companies in
this state. Compared to the de-
mand, anthra cite coal is deplor-
ably scarce, and MIR. Cline as
sures us that this field has been
thoroughly prospected and that
it is known that the coal is there.
To us it appears that the chief
reason for building a railroad
prospective traffic-is present in
the proposed line. and that its
actual construction cannot long
be delayed.
There is another element that
makes it feasible for the Rio
Grandc to consider the building
of this link, and that is that it
would furnish them a loop track
from Glenwood to Grand Juno.
ton, and considering the tricky
character of the Grand Canon of
the Grand. this is an object very
desirable to be obtained. With
this proposed link constructed
there would be no more block

from which we print the following
extract:
The object OF the pub

were made that We above refer TO.
was in regard TO the building OF
small piece OF railroad between
Somerset and Plscita-which by
the way. you seem TO pay no at
tention to. which fact greatly sur
prises me because IT would be of
such vast importance TO your city.
The business men of Glenwood
Springs were called together by
the mayor at my request that !

road. The party who first gave
me this information said ,ha, the

project. We have heard from the
Rio Grande officials III n. Y. and
they say they did not know of
this cutoff and they will take the
matter under investigation.

IN and arouse the people of your
town for a mass meeting to be
held TO appoint a committee to
talk the matter up at your end

badly damaged as has been re-
ported. Yours respectfully.

While we have noticed the
newspaper discussion going on
about this extension, it had never
occurred to us that it could be
stimulated or advanced by any
argument we were prepared to
make. As rule railroads are
built where and when the interests
of the company demands and it is
another rule that they are the
best posted on what is feasible
and advisable from a business
standpoint. However, we read

Our name went on forty differ

and moral nature and vouched
that we had never been long in

be persuaded to give milk. We
solemnly affirmed that Fred ST.

with proper moral persuasion he
might recover although he would
never look the same again. With
a choking voice and tears in our
eyes we made affidavit that the

it was in sight. We prayed that
We might be stricken dead if all
