CORNISH, Utah, Oct. Is, 'O7.--It
having fallen to my lot to spend few
weeks In Cornish, l thought perhaps
q few items from this little ward
might prove interesting to some Of the
Republicans readers. Cornish lies
due west Of Lewiston, on the west
side OF Bear river. Its northern boun-
daries extend to the Idaho line. 1t is
a thriving little burg, having some
very fine farms and meadow lands.
Besides having fine wheat and alfalfa
lands, it is we'll adapted to fruits, veg
etables, and other cereals.
In an ecclesiastical way, Cornish
formerly belonged to Trenton, but on
account OF their scattered condition,
it was thought best to divide the
ward. Last July a meeting was held,
and Bishop Benjamin Bingham, who
had presided here for q number Of
years, was released from presiding
over the whole ward and given the
Trenton part, and r. e. Butler was
made bishop with Frank Peart and
George Pope councillors. The new
Bishopric are bright, up.to date men,
with the push and energy necessary
for the development Of q young and
rising community.
Railroad accommodate are good.
From Cornish and Ransom stations
many cars Of wheat and beef are load.
ed. Seventy.five cars is q conservative
estimate of the beets that will be
shipped from the Ransom spur, and
about thirty from Cornish.
There is a general merchandise
store at Cornish, managed by W. H,
Cottle. A fine grist mill is dong q
good business at Trenton, and another
at Weston, so that the Cornishites car
easily get their needs supplied In tina
line.
There is a we'll equipped district
school with an enrolment of but III
teen at present, but this number will
doubtless be doubled In short time

Buttons

Buttons have been rather more in
allegiance until lately. always excepting
the big handsome sort which form dis
tinctive features for picturesque wraps
and gowns, and which never go out Of
fashion these days.
At present buttons of bright silver
which greatly resemble nail heads. and
arc about the same size. are grouped
upon gowns, forming small stars or ir-
regular curves and outlines. Such orna-
mentation was recently seen upon a
very gorgeous gray cloth gown. The
buttons were imbedded in what is known
as "wrung'' chiffon. and the bands were
used upon the skirt and waist. Another
gray costume was outlined with plat
mum tissue, plped with black and stud
ded with miniature button stars at tab
ends. Such buttons are very fiat and
can be closely applied 10 cloth or chiffon.

closely resemble white linen. They are

at the present time for design effects.

Eat Much Fruit

II people ate more fruit they would
take less medicine and have better
health. There is an old saying that fruit
is golden in the morning and leaden at
night AS a matter Of fact, IL may be
gold at both times, but then IL should
be eaten on an empty stomach and not
as a dessert. when the appetite is salts
fed and digestion is already sufficiently
taxed. Fruit taken in the morning be-
fore the fast OF the night has been
broken is refreshing. and it serves as
a stimulus TO the digestive organs. A
ripe apple or an orange may be taken
at this time with good effect. Fruit
TO be reaIl-- valuable as an article OF
diet should be ripe. sound. and in every
way Of good quality. and. IL possible.
il should be eaten raw.
Instead of eating a great deal of
meat for breakfast, most people would
do far better IL they took some grapes,
pears. or apples-fresh fruit as long as
II is TO be had, and after that they can
fall back on stewed prunes, figs, etc.
II only fruit Of some sort formed an
important item in their breakfast,
omen would feel brighter and stronger
and would have far better compilations
than Is the rule at present.

BzeakfaSf Dish

There is no meal so difficult to prepare
as breakfast, since varity of foods are
not used, making it necessary for one to
improve on the usual viands for that
particular meal. Now that cereals and
frIis play so prominent a part in the
first meal of the day, there are count
less ways Of cooking cereals, though
raw fruit is mostly served whole or
sliced. An improvement for sliced
bananas is to cover the fruit finely
chopped nuts and serve with vanilla
sugar and cream. Vanilla-sugar IS pre-
pared by grating a vanilla bean into a
pound of pulverized sugar. 1t should
be kept in a sugar shaker for this pur-
