CARROTS A CURE FOR BABIES.

One would scarcely think of feed
ing i'll babies on carrots, yet this is
precisely what has been done with
great success by an Italian physician,
Dr.. Moro, who finds that these vege-
tables act as an intestinal antisep-
tic. In all of forty-eight cases of
digestive disturbances treated with a
carrot PURGE excellent results are re-
ported. The soup is not only anti
septic, but nourishing. There appears
to be no good reason why the carrot
should not have the same effect upon
adult as upon infant digestion, and
lovers of the peculiar flavor of this
humble vegetable may consider, that
their preferences are now amply justi-
ned.

1t is the man outside who thinks he
can save money ii he only had his
hand on the treasury. There are
things demanded of the state that can
not be turned down without showing a
weakness which South Dakota does not
have to display to satisfy a few politi'
clans who are anxious to hold the
state back to make a political record
for themselves.
When 1t comes down to the mat
ter of business we do not think for a
moment that Andy Lee holds over
Robert s.. Vessey in the m%inutest de-
gree. We believe that Mr.. Wesley can
conduct the affairs of this state with
as strict regard for economy as any
man who has ever stood at the helm
of the state, and we believe that he
will do it.
Andy Lees aspirations are not so
mucn for the governors position as
for a seal in the U. S. Senate, hoping
to displace Governor Crawford In that
respect, but in the comparison of the
ability of the two men the difference
is so great that governor Crawford
stands head and shoulders above his
opponent for filling a position of that
character.
Mr.. Lee and the democrats hope to
see the detection continue in the re-
publican party for their benefit, but

ernor and see that he is elected TO the

TMelfth Century Manners.

According to twelfth century man
ners. 1t was considered more than rude
for any one, nan or woman, to 100
aimlessly into space or gaze at the sky
for any length Of time, and staring
about in the street or in church was
considered especially impolite. People
who desired to be considered well
bought up were enjoined not to wave
their hands about in the air and not
to place their hands upon the head or
shoulders Of any distinguished person
age.
When standing, both men and wo-
men were eXhorted to place one hand
owe the other near the waist. A well
bred woman, also, when walking out
of doors, had to place the thumb of
the left hand in the buckle or string
by which her cloak was fastened un-
der her neck, while with the two fin
gers Of the right hand she kept the
cloak closed.
When on horseback, men were en-
joined not to look at their EGGS, but
straight over the horses head. In a
book of the twelfth century we read
Of a model young woman who walked
nicely and did not look around. She
did not speak to her mother nor greet
her father; neither would she look at
man or woman"

COMPLETE HARMONY IN REPUB-
LlCAN RANKS.

The Aberdeen Daily News in speak
ing of a recent visit of Governor Craw-
ford and Chairman Cook TO that city
says that they both feel that success
for the party at the polls next Novem-
Der is assured. They find throughout
the state unexpected union of party
and an unlocked for disposition to pull
together and let bygones be bygones.
In speaking of this Governor Craw-
ford said.
Il must confess that after the. pri-
mary campaign was finished feared
that some of the boys throughout the
state would feel bitter but ] must con
fess that | was never more surprised
in all my life than at the ~magnanim-
Gus disposition l find everywhere.
There have been but few instances
since the primaries where | have met
the men who fought me-, who have not
come and pledged their fealty to the
party and have expressed a desire to
let the past be buried.
THAT is right and proper. We are
working for the success of the party
now and the individual feature of the
matter should be forgotten. l believe
that this will become the general dis
position before the November election.
In fact it is becoming so now and we
have every reason to believe that the
usual party majority will be rolled up
in the election. l am urging a pulling
together, and l would have urged the
same thing were the fortunes of the
primary campaign to have turned
against me-"

publican state central committee, is
optimistic regarding the success of the
party in the state this rear. MI. Cook
feels that the success of the party, to-
gether with a majority which will be
convincing, is assured for this year.

He is not, properly speaking Prince

scHNITz UND KLAsE.
Treat the Gods Missed, but Procurabls
In the Mohawk Valley.


Something in the line of good things
to eat the gods never had; consequently
the gods missed Il great treat. And,
by the way, friend, have you ever
hooked up to a dish of schnitz und
klase?
No? Thought so. Few have in these
times, and those who have been SO
fortunate have just cause to recall a
delicious morsel time can never erase
from the tablets Of memory.
You can order schnitz und klase until
you faint, famished, awaiting it. You
will never get 1t In any public eating
place. 1t isn't on the bill Of fare and
never will be.
The up TO date chef would give you
the laugh If you asked him to concoct
it for you. Ten chances to one he'd not
understand what schnitz und klase
could possibly mean. Few know, but
those who do know 1t know it well.
A good hig ham bone is the central
portion, light dumplings and dried ap-
pies. Anything else would spoil it.
The ham bone gives the dish a
smoky flavor, the dumplings give it
body, and the dried apples give 1t color
and tartness as well as sauce.
Put the ham bone In cold water and
open the iues and let the pot boil.
While the pot is getting into good and
ready shape make your dumpllngs, and
make them as light as possible.
Put the dried apples In a separate
dish and stew them down to a nicely.
When the pot with the ham bone bub-
bles and froths drop in the dumplings
n by one. No; you do not stir the
contents of the pot. That would spoil
the consistency Of the dumplings and
make a mess.
Any n who has watched a pot boil
knows when dumplings are done to a
dot.
Take a deep platter, fish out the
dumplings carefully with a drain spoon
and place them about the ham Done In
the center of the platter. Looks dry,
but when you pour over all the dried
apples and their nice ~sauce-wow!
That's schnitz und klase as you may
have had it years ago when living
with a German family in the Mohawk
valley. You can eat it until your eyes
start out and your waistband grips your
middle. 1t will stay by you through a
hard days work, and If there is any
left over you hit it again for supper
cold.

But 1t Made Good Advance Informal
ton For the Reporter.
Neils Olsen, who was for forty years
a trusted employee Of the New York
Yacht club, was always courteous to
newspaper men and glad to give them
such information as he could with
propriety make public. He was sorely
beset by news gatherers while the Dun
raven trial was going on, and often
said to the reporters, with a smile, that
he regretted his Ignorance" On the
evening of Feb. q, 1896, when the
members Of the club met at the old
clubhouse in Madison avenue there
was much quiet excitement because it
was well known that the question Of
Dunraven's expulsion would come up.
An enterprising reporter stopped Olsen
as he came through the door and asked:
do you think they'll expel his lord
Ship"
Olsen said, How do | know?" and
then added, did you ever read this?"
and handed. to the young man a clip
ping from the Tribune which read:
FOR DunraVen, never tumbling, still Is
grumbling. still Is mumbling,
In his lordly ancient castles over on the
distant shore,
And his talks have all the seeming of a
daft and Jealous seaman,
And the x rays through him streaming
show he's unfair at the core,
And because the Yacht club knows him
knows he's unfair at the core
He will race here-nevermore.

Half an hour later the meeting was
called to order, and within twenty
minutes a resolution was adopted
stripping Dunraven of his honorary
membership privileges. When the re-
porter saw Olsen he said, THAT was

he replied. 81 never give information:
that was a guess."-New York Tribune.
