REMNANT OF MICHIGAN ALTRUIS
TIC COOPERATIVE COLONY.
Porter Whitford Only Survivor of En-
terprise Started at Galesburg In
1538-Thousands Of Acres
Once Cultivated.

Galesburg, Mich.-The last survivor
On the only altruistic cooperative So
ciety ever attempted in this quarter
of the state is Porter H. Whitford, 80
years old, who came to this village,
then a backwoods crossroads, in 1898.
and has since taken part in most pub
lie events of the community.
When the Alphadelphian society, or
ganized on the plan of the Brook
Farm" of literary fame, was estab-
lished near Galesburg by about 800
farmers in 184S Whitford was one of
the young leaders. He was married
to daughter of one of the older Off
GERS of the society when Alphadelphia
hall, the principal building of the or
ganizatton, was opened.
All essential trades then known In
the frontier community were repre-
sented among the members, most of
whom were New Workers. All prop
erty was turned into the common &C.
count and farms were used as "out-
side" residences by the men formerly
owning them If they wished
Many thousands of acres were thus
used by the community, which took at
first highly intellectual standard, but
later broke up because of the discon.
tent of some who saw other farmers
getting rich on the old competitive
plan.
After few years the men began to
withdraw from the colony to work for
themselves and finally the buildings
where the socialistic dreams of the
founders had been worked out were
sold to the county for use on its poor
farm near by.
A thrifty member got possession of
1000 acres Of the best land, which has
made his descendants rich. Whitford
alone remains Of the many who took
part In the colony life of the Alpha.

A legend hangs about the spot where
the old hall stood. II Is that at the

members who had been begging his
comrades to stand together for the
common good accidentally discovered

CLERK WINS A FORTUNE.
Speculates In Wheat and Is Now One
Of Wichlta's Richest Men.

Wichita, Kan.-From telegraph op-
orator, working on a salary of less
than 500 a month, to affluence and a
fortune within five years, is the record
of Arthur Pauline, who in one day
cleared $4,000 by specializing in
wheat.
Pauline has been resident of
Wichita about 20 years. During most
of that time he has been employed as
an operator. At spare times he did
work on the wire for commission men,
gaining an insight of the methods of
the market, which he turned to ad-
vantage when the opportunities pre-
scented themselves. AS a result, he is
to-day classed among the wealthiest
citizens of Wichita.
Wheat was low when Pauline be-
gan to buy, around the 70 cent mark.
He held on to the wheat he bought
until the market was over one dollar
then he sold. Something like $4,000
was the result of his investment He
invested the proceeds in Wichita prop
erty. That, too, proved a good invest.
ment, and he was enabled two years
later to clear 100000 by the same
method In the recent rise of wheat
he bought for 76% cents and sold at
J7B cents, clearing $4,000.

CUP THAT CHEERS
TEA REQUIRES MUCH CARE IN
THE MAKING.
Delicious Beverage Is Too often Spoil
ed by Careless Handling - Right
Way to Prepare Cocoa and choco-
iate-Vanilla Flavoring.

To Make Tea.-Scald the pot and
never place 1t over the fire. A china,
granite, or earthen pot is the best
Allow one teaspoonful of tea to a pint
of boiling water. Add the tea to the
hot pot, pour on the boiling water and
cover with a tea basket or coy, as
anything that will keep the heat in the
pot while 1t is sleeping is desirable.
The infusion will always be heavier at
the bottom of the pot, which makes 1t
better to stir the tea before pouring,
or the first cup will be weak and the
last too strong. Boiled tea is very in
furious, more so than boiled coffee, as
it is rich in tannin.
Cocoa and chocolate are made from
the cocoa bean. These are ground,
mixed with sugar, and frequently ar
row root and starch. To some prep
arations cinnamon or vanilla is added.
Chocolate Is made from the bean, but
contains a much larger proportion of
fat than the cocoa productions. The
fat obtained from the cocoa bean Is
cocoa butter. Cocoa and chocolate
contain nutriment as well as stimu-
liant. Theobromine, the active princi-
pie, is very much like caffeine and
theme in its composition and effects.
AS cocoa and chocolate contain
starch it makes boiling necessity in
the preparation. If milk is added and
boiled with the cocoa it is less. diges-
tible. Both chocolate and cocoa
should be boiled in water and the
milk simply scalded and added last.
Good cocoa should be reddish brown,
very fine and free from fat. Cocoa
when boiled in water with scalded
milk and whipped cream added is
more digestible than chocolate, al
though chocolate would be still more
digestible If it were made with water
and used without cream.
A cup Of chocolate with a piece of
whole wheat bread makes good
breakfast for school child.
To Make Cocoa.-Moisten four tea
spoonfuls of cocoa with four table
spoonfuls Of hot water, stir until
smooth, then add half a pint of boil
ing water, bring to the boiling point,
then add two tablespoonfuls of sugar
and half cupful of good milk. Take
from the fire and add few drops of
vanilla, if liked. Serve at once with
whipped cream.
To Make a Pot of ChocoIate.-Put
four ounces of chocolate in double
boiler and allow it to melt; then add
quart of boiling water and stir con-
stantly until the water in the boiler
boils for five minutes. Add a quart
of scalded milk and beat well with an
egg beaten. Serve plain or with whip
ped cream. A drop or two of CHINA
mon or half a teaspoonful of vanilla
may be added if desired

Rock Rises 300 Feet Above Surround

Deadwood, S. D.-Presldent Roose-

the DEVILS tower, peculiar geograph-

How to Make Prune Pie.

Prune pie can be made now with a
little lemon peel to give it flavor. Crate
the peel and stone the prunes. Raisin
pie is nice, and dates even can be made
into our great American dish. Long be-
fore cherries are here nice pies can
be made from canned cherries. And
canned currants make a pie-that one
never gets nowadays, somehow. Yet
why not? Currants grow, and are
brought to Philadelphia markets in
generous amounts; yet they are only
used sparingly for currant jelly. Cur
rant jam is delicious for little tarts
Spiced currants are fine. The trouble
is that currants come when city house
keepers here are closing their homes,
or have already gone, and so none are
put up. From the strawberries that
are preserved in the spring to the au-
tumn fruits there is long gap.-Phil-
adelphia Ledger.

DISEASE LAID TO TROLLEY.
Doctor Finds Car Men Afflicted with
Malady.

Elwood, Ind.-Renal calculus is the
name OF disease that attacks motor
men and conductors who are daily
coming In contact with the high ten
sion electric current of the Indiana
Union Traction lines, says Dr. T. c.
Armheld, one Of the oldest practition
ers in this city.
He says that it is superinduced by
handling the trolley pole while 1t is
in contact with the trolley wire, the
controller wrench, when the current is
on. by imperfect connections causing
the iron and brass work on the cars
to become electrified, and by other
similar conditions.
1t causes mild paralysis by turn
ing the small corpuscles or blood into
coagulated matter, thus closing the
pores, preventing the Precipitation
from exuding from the body and later
poisoning the system.
