Roosevelt Exceeds Authority.

WASHINGTON, Feb.7.-Wm. S. Ros.
sitter, who on Wednesday last was ap.
pointed by President Roosevelt as
acting public printer in place of Pub.
lie Printer Stillings, who is under
suspension pending an investigation
of the affairs of his office, went to the
treasury department today to have
his bond approved. The department
refused to consider the matter on the
ground that the president had ex.
ceeded his authority in appointing
Mr.. Rossiter; that under the law the
assistant public printer, Capt. n. T.
Bryan, succeeds to the vacancy.
Under the informal ruling MIR. Ros.
sitter later. in the day stepped aside
and his place was taken by Capt.
Bryan, who will administer the gov.
ernment printing office as acting pub
lie printer for the time being. Mr..
Rossiter, however, does not relinquish
the work of inquiry laid out for him
by the president. His position in the
government printing office becomes
that of the presidents personal rep
resentative and he is proceeding with
the investigation upon which he is to
base his report to the president OF
conditions existing there and of the
best methods Of putting the big
plant on a business basis.

Buying When Food Is Cheap.

Before 1t is too late to be profitable
every housekeeper should inspect her
preserve pantry to see that it is suf-
ficiently we'll filed to allow the family
it's required daily ration Of fruit,
catchup or chow chow. If she finds
that her supply is meager. it is not
too late to remedy this defect. There
are plenty Of apples to be had, grapes
are abundant this season. ounces and
late pears may be found in the market.
and cranberries are coming In and
make good jelly. If they can be kept
away from the frost it Is great econ
omy to buy enough potatoes to last
until spring. Housekeepers know how
difficult it is to get good vegetables in
the late winter, and how high. they
are. Cabbage may be stored; SO. too,
may apples. turnips and onions. Flour
sometimes scars In price. and If laid
in by the barrel in the fall It Is always
conveniently at hand. in bad weather.
Butter and eggs may both be put away
in limited quantities. any housekeep-

serving them for winter use.

Windows and Doors In Order.

The house itself should be put IN
condition to keep out the cold All the
windows and doors should be examined
and tghtened. Cracks and chinks
should be stopped up and storm doors
put on. In rooms where the wind
beats against the window a heavy pair
of curtains may be substituted for the
ordinary swiss or lace ones. Weather
strips should be laid along all outside
doors. Plumbing where exposed should
be carefully wrapped, and it Is wise to
have an expert overhaul the furnace
that there may be no inconvenient
breakdown when heat is most needed.
Even city dwellers will find It con-
venient to adopt some Of these sugges-
lions, but the dweller In Suburbia or
In the country will find them invalua.

Human Heart Mended.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-With five
stitches in his heart Richard Denton,
colored, is improving at the emergen.
cy hospital, and it is believed by DR..
George Tulley Vaughan, who per-
formed the difficult operation, that
the patient will recover.
Denton, who was stabbed by John
Woody, seemed cheerful and believes
he will live to prosecute his assailant.
The operation is one of the most
remarkable known to modern surgery
and the sixth of its kind ever per
formed in the United States. Only 10
such operations are known to medical
science. Denton's heart was sliced
in half, the knife having entered the
center of the heart at the top and
the slash being finished at the bottom
of the organ,
Eighteen Stitches were necessary
