authoIitatively however that tht
president win not change his attitude
toward railroads, though it is admit
ted the admins ration has no inten

radical attack on railway corpora

While it Is known that the visit o'
J. P. Morgan to the White House last
Monday night TO induce the president
to issue a reassuring statement to
the country in regard to the admins
trations attitude toward railroads
and the apparent failure of the fnan
ciers appeal has had much to do with
the panicisy conditions that swept
Wall street today, President R0ose-
welt has repea edly said he is not an
enemy of the railroads and that those
that obey the laws have nothing to
fear from the government.
Nav Issue a Statement.
While it has not been definitely de-
cided, the president may issue a
statement outlining his attitude after
he has conferred with Presdents
McCrea, Newman, Mellea Hughitt, on
the railroad situation next week.
II is generally understood by those
close to the president that the rail-
way officials win urge Roosevelt to
take some steps TO "aifay the public
anxiety now threatening to obstract

attitude the federal government, has

THE SECRET OF GooD COOKING.
Learn the Proper Use of Cornstnrch, Famous Cooks Say--a Book That
 Tells How.

That a great deal of everyday cook ing and baking may be immeasurably improved by the use of corn starch has been conclusively proven by the recent research of Janet M. Hill and Alice Cary Waterman, two of Ameri- ca's prominent cooks.
 These experts have found, for in- stance, that 8 touch of corn starch in bread gives 8 delicious flavor and un- usually tender crust; it imparts firm ness to jellies, improves the consistent cy and appearance of soups, gravies and sauces, makes pastry daintier, and so on through great number of dishes. dishes.
 This fact Is of special interest when it is known that the full benefit of the research is now offered to house. wives everywhere in the form of a book which is being distributed free of charge by the National Starch Com pany of New York City.
 This firm manufactures the we'll known Duryeas' Corn Starch, pro- duct so superior in purity and quality that the cooks used none other in their experiments.

An American Farm in Switzerland.

Just outside of Geneva there is a small but model American farm, the property of an American gentleman who has long resided in this city. To a model dairy and equally up-to-date quarters for fowls and swine the own CT last autumn added two seventy ton American silos. While twelve acres of fine American corn were being ground and packed into these, farm CTS came in from the country round about to see what was to them @ cu- riosity and a revelation. There were as many as fifteen or twenty in day. These silos were as far as I know, the first to be set up in Switzerland. Dur ing the past winter they have fed thir- ty head of fine cattle. The practical illustration of wintering thirty head of stock on the twelve-acre crop of corn and In orders for three silos by farm CTS who came, saw, and were con- vinced.
 Each of these three silos will be a new advertisement for the system which Is bound to spread. The Ameri- can model farmer in question grinds his ensillage by electric power. It may be that, in country abounding in water power, the spread of silos will create demand for electric motors fn which our American makers may find it poftable to seek their share.-Con- sul x. B.

New York, July 1.-The Taxpayers association, composed of 1,5oo taxpay- CTS of West Mt, Vernon. has decided to- strike against the increase in the com mutation rates on the Harlem. The commuters at a meeting agreed not to renew their tickets to-day. Instead they will travel on the elevated and the trolley cars. They also instructed their secretary, John H. Cordes, to write to President Mellen of the New Haven, of fering to travel on that line provided he will agree to give them half rate of $5 a month between Mt Vernon and New York. MT Cordes says that 1000 commuters will boycott the Harlem road in favor of the New Haven line If they can ge. The s5 rate The com |muters have been paying $4.s5 month, and under the new rate they must pay $5.6O. They say that the action of the Harlem company is unreasonable, be- cause not one out of a hundred use up all of the rides allotted to them on their tickets. A similar strike is threatened by commuters in White Plains, and oth- CT towns along the Harlem line.

MEMBER OF VALE FACULTY.
MO Assist in Study of Natures Beauty
 Near Boston.

The Salvation army of Boston has just announced novel feature of it's work for the coming summer. Nature excursions for the study of bird life, botany and geology are to be given to the young working people during the summer months. A competent corps of lecturers and guides will conduct the students who wish to study, scien- tiflcally or otherwise, the beauties of nature through natural park places near that city Among those who will assist are Dr. Ellsworth Huntington, fellow in the Royal Geographical soci- ety and member of the Yale faculty, and Mrs. Mathews Richardson, presi- dent of the Weston School for Girls
 The idea is not to establish summer school in the generally accepted sense of the term, but to stimulate the am- bition of young working people and to give them an opportunity to realize what an education would mean to them.
