being we'll nodded. Above medium
height, with dignified carriage, Miss
Tarbell is figure to attract attention
in any assemblage.
Few people possess greater powers
of discrimination and a clearer grasp,
it Is said, than does Miss Tarbell.
She believes in specializing, and has
concentrated her efforts in literary
work along historical lines. In this
sort of thing she has proved herself
an expert.
Miss Tarbell is a native of Penn
sylvania. She was born in the oil
regions, and was. so to speak,
soaked in OIL" so that when the
time came to write on the timely sub
ject of the history of oil production
manipulation, she had lifelong ex-
perience to draw from and unique

attract attention. Passersby will at
once be interested in the novelty ex-
hibited, and naturally will then turn
their attention to the goods on dis

in advance of the merchants of other
countries in introducing these teye-
catchers." Still, one of the most in

Germany. 1t is shown in the illus

A flame, produced by liquid COM

air) burns below the surface of the

opening for admitting the liquid, and
ON the opposite side an overflow pipe.
When the apparatus Is placed in

also be used for producing hot water

"A GOOD COOK.

BY the term good cook = 10 not
mean one who cooks all sorts of fam
cy dishes.
The girl who is able to boil an egg
to perfection, and make slice of
toast just as it ought to be, neither
hard nor burned nor tough, that girl
is already good cook, and has it in
her to become better.
Remember, if we do one small
thing well, we do much. 1t cannot
be too much insisted on, that plain
cooking requires as much attention
as high-class cooking.
We often hear the remark, ooh, I
can cook all I have to cook well
enough" How often is this really
the case?
How often is our breakfast egg
either hard or half raw? How often
is toast thing to be shuddered at?
How often are potatoes waxy and
watery, and how often is the water
which is poured off them when boiled
just veritable potato soup?
Yet this is the kind of cooking we
invariably get from people who say
they can cook all they have well
enough" They have no wish to learn
to do any better, and they simply re-
fuse to recognize the Importance of
such small details.

FOR THE AMATEUR LAUNDREss.

FOR THE AMATEUR LAUNDRESS.
With the numberless stocks, col
lars, cuffs, bits of lace, white gloves
and belts, to say nothing of dainty
lingerie and silk waists now being
worn, where is the woman-unless
she is able to keep personal maid
who does not do more or less laun-
dry work for herself?
A recent invention for making
such work easy therefore, should be
of general interest. The new washer
is a simple arrangement consisting
of a fiuted roller pierced by many
holes. For use with it there comes
little dashboard that has slight
projections over the surface, al
though an ordinary dashboard will
answer the purpose just as well.
These rollers come in all sizes,
from the tiny ones like child's toy
just the thing to wash out socks,
handkerchiefs and stockings in a
basin or stationary washstand-to
those for full family wash.
The process is very simple. Soak
the clothes over night, then put a
piece at a time, folded in several
thicknesses, on the board. Soap it
we'll and run the roller over it in
short, quick strokes, as if making
pastry. The dirt is quickly removed,
without half the wear and tear of
the ordinary rubbing.
No boiling is necessary. Merely
rinse through several waters, the
final slightly glued, and the clothes
are ready for the line.

if they are left standing even few
moments after use. We have found

the knife rest perfectly fiat upon a

CORN ROOT APHIS.
Treatment Which Will Secure Protec-
ton Against the Pest.

AS means of replying to very
many requests received for full and
precise directions for the treatment
of seed corn as protection against
injury by the corn root aphis, the Illi-
nois state entomologist, DIR. S. A.
Forbes, has prepared the following
careful directions. The quantities
mentioned are sufficient to treat the
seed corn necessary to plant about As
acres. If larger or smaller acreage
is to be planted, each can easily figure
the necessary amount for himself.
1. Mix one pint of pure oil of lemon
with one gallon of denatured alcohol
or wood alcohol.
2. Put one bushel of seed corn into
a tub or half barrel, or similar vessel
large enough to allow vigorous stir
ring of the corn.
3. Measure out one and half pints
of the mixture of oil of lemon and alco-
ho1.
4. Slowly sprinkle this mixture on
the corn, at the same time stirring the
latter vigorously with a stout paddle
or stick. Do not let the oil collect at
the bottom of the vessel for lack of
stirring and thorough mixing Stir
vigorously until the oil is we'll distrib-
uted. 1t should not take five minutes
to prepare a bushel of seed.
5. Put the corn thus prepared into
a grain sack and it is ready to take to
the field for planting. Keep this sack
in the shade.
6. Do not prepare more than can be
planted in half day, unless it is
convenient to return to the crib at
noon

lap we'll at the top. 1t must not be

WENT TO TEA
And 1t Wound Her Sobbln.

Tea drinking frequently affects peo-
pie as badly as coffee. A lady in Sails
bury, Md, says that she was COM
PEELED to abandon the use of coffee
good many years ago, because it
threatened to ruin her health and that
she went over to tea drinking, but
finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that
she had lost twenty-five pounds and
no food seemed to agree with her.
She further says: "As this time l
was induced to take up the famous
food drink Postum, and was so much
pleased with the results that | have
never been without it since | COM
menced so improve at once, regained
my twenty-five pounds of flesh and
went some beyond my usual weight.
Il know Postum to be good, pure,
and healthful, and there never was an
article, and never will be, l believe,
that does so surely take the place of
coffee, as Postum Food Coffee. The
beauty of it all is that it is satisfying
and wonderfully nourishing. l feel as
if could not sing its praises too loud"

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old managements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in it's report
against meddling with the new law
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over $2,000000 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to it's total
income was 1929 in 1904, 1882 in
1905, and only 14.4S9o in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to s7,2S9,734,
which was an increase of more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and un-
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as it stands.
