The rivalry is between the
'straights' and the blends" and 1t

Mr. William E. Curtis quotes At
torney-General Trickett, OF Kansas,
considerable length as testifying
TO the continued benefits of State pro-

Temperance victories are the more
cheering when 1t is considered how
powerful is the foe from whom they

Plum Jelly.-Take plums not too
ripe, put in granite pan and set in
pan of water over the fire. Let the
water boil gently till all the juice has
come from the fruit, straining through
a flannel bag and boil with an equal
weight OF sugar twenty minutes.
Plum Butter.-Select sound plums,
scald till they crack open. When
cool put through collander; meas
ure the pulp and add three-fourths
of pound of sugar to each quart of
pulp. Season with any spice desired.
Boil two hours.

plums, two pounds Of sugar, one ta-
blespoonful each of cloves, cinnamon,
mace and allspice; stone the plums,
then put all the ingredients into a
preserving kettle; cover with vine
gar; boil till tender.
Canned Plums.-Canned plums are
much nicer when peeled. To peel
them pour on boiling hot water and
let them slightly scald. When skins
begin to break pour of water and
peel. Have ready syrup made in
the proportion of one pound of sugar
to every four pounds of fruit and
just enough water to dissolve sugar.

put the sugar on slow fire In pre-
serving kettle, with as much water
as will melt and let simmer slowly;

ding dish. Pour over 1t the follow
ing ingredients. well mixed; Three

Keeping Innings Clean.

1t is difficult for even the cleanest
woman to keep the lining of the back
of her blouse fresh and sweet.
The moisture from the skin is al
ways heavy across the shoulders, and
1t is soaked into the lining because
one is usually leaning back against a
support.
Corset covers do no good because
they are low necked. The result is
that most of ones lined blouses are
unSightly in the back and need con-
slant cleaning.
This is especially true of the ones
that are lined with white muslin, as
1t shows the discoloration very quickly
A cleanly custom is to cut from
white muslin shaped piece that just
fits the back This is basted in the
blouse over the lining and taken out
whenever soiled. If one has three or
four of them it is always possible to
keep the inside of the blouse in desir-
able condition.
Many women do not realize how
quickly the perspiration and dust soil
this lining. II they did they would
be more careful in coating the back
of the neck and shoulders with tai
cum powder always before putting on
a blouse.-Philadelphia Ledger

MOTHERS WHIM,

My mother was a human being and
had certain peculiarities which we did
not rldicule. Sometimes she would
lose her appetite entirely and could
not eat our food. She would grow
weak and almost Ill, but there was

would he restored in this way. Some
thing from another persons larder
was the remedy, and 10, Richard

girl and she would send me with a
basket and note to her good aunt
in the village. Her letter would read
thus: "Dear Aunt Jane: have one
Of my spells" again and cannot eat
please send me something from
your Cupboard; just anything will do.
so some one else has cooked it,"
Your Niece Caroline.
Her aunt did not smile at the mo
ton" of their favorite neice, for she
knew and realized her sensitive ma
ture.
Aunt Jane would go to her cellar
and cupboard and pack basket with
whatever she CHANGED TO have. Some
times 1t would be a cup of stewed
dried apples. a piece of beef or ham,
a bit of plain cake. or cup Of GUS
tard. No matter, dear Aunt Jane un-
derstood It all.
How precious are the friends who
divine our queer ways and who do not
ridicule us.--Dolly Goodwill, in the

The Sonl,s Telescnne

Every astronomer loves his tele-
scope, and there is but one simple
reason that leads him to have this
great fondness for this instrument.
If there were nothing but the instru-
ment, marvellous as might be the
construction, it would have but little
interest for an astronomer. The
mechanieian would find interest in
Its constructive features but not the
astronomer. To him the chief thing
IN the universe is the heavens and
all they contain. A searching on his
part to find out and understand the
objects that fill the sky, sun, moon,
and stars is the delight of the as
tronomer. His name means one who
knows the laws of the stars. And
because telescope brings the stars
near 80 that he may learn the laws,
he loves this instrument
The soul is an astronomer. It
seeks and searches alone that great
vast depth within which is God. And
do you ask what is the best instru-
ment of the soul in its search to find
the laws of God? The answer is,
Meditation, but for this power THE
soul discerneth God as If He were
near at hand. ."-Classmate.

THE TEMPERANCE PROPAGANDA
CONCERTED ATTACK ON DRINK
WINNING ALL ALONG LINE.

Women Are Winning Their Fight
Against Rum-Half the Union
Has Joined in the Prohibition
Movement.
With astonishing rapidity the
| fight against the sale of Intoxicating
liquor is sweeping over the country,
says the Delineator. In the South,
State after State has enacted laws alb
solutely closing all the saloons within
its borders. After January /, 1909,
there will not be a legal saloon in
Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi or Ok
lahoma; North Carolina may also be
dry by that time; half of South Caro-
lima, a large part of Florida, all but
four cities in Tennessee, and nearly
all of Kentucky are in the same situ-
ation Virginia, Maryland and Della
ware are moving in the same direc-
ton. Ohio is tending toward State
prohibition, Indiana has taken steps
toward it. and each new election sees
more townships in Illinois shifted to
the dry column. In other States
the struggle is not yet so successful,
but already half the people and two
thirds of the territory of the United
States are embraced in the now rapid
ly growing prohibition districts.
In this struggle women have taken
remarkable part, and they are reap
ing remarkable reward This Is q
new form of campaign, and 1t is diff
ferent. There has been little or no
hysterical agitation, but rather pro-
sale comparison of figures to show
how much better off the dry States
are than the wet. And the women,
to whom prohibition means infinitely
more than to the men, have furnished
what excitement was necessary, by
flocking about the polls serving tenn
peraDce drinks to voters, and en-
deavoring to convince them that a
vote against the saloon is a vote for
the home, and perhaps, most of all,
for the clean administration of the
public schools. They have had to
present figures, too. Saloon men
have shown the amount of taxes paid,
almost fabulous millions every year,
by the manufacturers, the wholesal.
ers and the retailers of drink. They
have piled up the totals of corn and
rye and rice consumed in the factor
les, and computed how many men
were employed. But the women have
shown that every dollar so spent is
only 1.-THE of the amount that the
men pass in over the country for
drinks which net them nothing at all;
that out of SO which leaves the
home for this useless thing only thirty
or forty cents eventually reach the
public treasury in license and tax, and
even less goes to the grain producer,
and that each drinker could better
afford to pay his share of the liquor
tax out of his pocket. chip into a fund
for grain production, and keep the
rest to use in buying useful things fol
his home in such a way as to give
more and more useful employment tc
his fellows and at the same time i'm.
prove his own condition in life.

Of the very saddest features OF our
modern Christian living 1t IS work,

where, where are the more devoted
Marys, who find the shortest, surest
way to the heart OF Jesus by ceasing
very much from self-willed, self-ap-

His feet, to let Him carry on His
blessed work within ourselves? II

out more, it might abridge consider
ably the amount of work apparently
accomplished. but 1t would incompar-
ably enhance the quality.
God can use small men. Out Of
the mouths of babes and sucklings
He ordains strength. He can get
along with few. He once said that
here were too many, but He never
said that there were too few. But
He does want men; He has taken

The Triple Injury.

Talking people down behind their
backs is about as ingenious and far
reaching a kind of sin as the Devil
has yet invented. For such missile
kills three birds with one stone. 1t
Injuries the one talked about, the ono
talking and the one talked to. A rep
utatlon is smirched every time we
pass on an unnecessary criticism of a
rellow-being. Our own character and
self-control are weakened with every
such word And the mind of the
listener is poisoned; he who ought to
be helped to see and think about the
best in others has been degraded, part
way at least, toward the unworthiness
of our own low level. Once in a
while an almost Knockout blow is
given th this unworthy and unfair
kind of fighting by some ones quietly
mentioning a good quality in the alb
sent person who is being criticised.
This will almost invariably bring gos-
sip to an abrupt close. We shall do
well to end others gossip by this
means; and we shall do still better tC
end our own before It begins.
