THINGS LOOK DIFFERENT.
Washington Begins to See the Prob
ability of Gov. Johnson's
Nomination.

Washington, d. C.-Well informed
political observers who survey the
country from Washington have noted
wonderful change in the campaign
for the Democratic nomination at Den
yer within the last week. No so very
long ago it was taken for granted that
Col. Bryan would be nominated with
practically no opposition-to-day 1t is
question whether he will be nomin-
ated at all. Gov Johnson of Mime.
sofa has doomed up as the man be-
tween whom and Col. Bryan the con-
vention at Denver will have to choose.
Gray of Delaware, Olney of Massachu-
sets, and Harmon of Ohio, are no
longer considered in the running. In
deed, the suddenness in which the
Minnesota man has come to the front
is almost dramatic.
Reports pouring into Washington
from all parts of the country indi-
cate thatsAthe Johnson men have
made wonderful progress, largely
without noise or publicity, in sections
Of the country where they were not
supposed to be at work at all
AS the situation stands to-day, prac
tically all of the New England all Of
the eastern states, and large portion
of the southern states will send John
son, or what is the same thing, prac-
tically, uninstructed delegates to Den
yer. Friends of Col Bryan we're some
what perturbed over reports drifting
into Washington regarding such
states as Utah, Colorado, Oregon,
Montana. Washington, Michigan, and
Kentucky. Reports are also coming
in that a tremendous Johnson senti.,
meht Is appearing in Missouri, and
large number of uninstructed, or John
son, delegates being sent up to the
Illinois state convention, revealing an
unexpected Johnson strength under
meath the surface. All political OBJ
servers in Washington are agreed that
there will be lively contest for the
nomination at Denver.
1t is even claimed that two-thirds Of
the delegates to the convention will
be unpledged, and such Democrats as
Representative John Sharp Williams,
Bourke Cochrane, Senator Culberson
and Senator Daniels, declare that the
Denver convention will be deliber-
alive body, which, before it nomin-
ates, will consider the qualifications
of the aspirants and their prospects
of winning.
There is a feeling here that John,
son as poor boy and self-made man
with a romantic and even tragic life
history, coming from an early life as
obscure and painful as Lincoln's, and
now risen to state power and national
would make a candidate of
such espect-commanding, vote-getting
power that under his leadership the
Democracy would have splendid
chance of winning.

desired shade; these form a charming
frame for a well-rounded little face.
The stiff hats with round crown and
wide brim are also very attractive as
well as seryiceable. They are seen in
blue, red, tan, brown, etc, and gen.
orally made of finely-ribbed Milan,
and trimmed in tailor style with silk
cord, to which sometimes silk tassels
or pompons with quilts are added.
The trimming of wide ribbon of sup.
pie texture is also greatly in favor.
There is much that could be said
about hats for dressier occasions. The
shapes are unusually effective, and
of singularly becoming type The
material employed is frequently Tus-
can straw in the shape of flats (the
regulation shape with medium sized
straight crown, and wide, floppy
brim), fine novelties in lace straw, fine
Leghorn and Milan, in natural tones,
cream or white, hemp and yedda, dyed
in pretty shades. Linen braid is also
strong feature in the manufacture
of hats.
The trimming Of these hats may be
as simple or ornate as one desires,
including the use Of flowers, ribbons,
lace and various net weaves, used
separately or some or all may be en-
ployed for the making of one model.

WHEN WEALTH GETTING
BEcoMEa A CRIME.


Personally would rather be
able to write a book that would
live a hundred years than be
able to amass wealth that would
enable those who Inherit il to
live for generations In luxury,
and yet the amassIng Of wealth
may be Of vast Industrial serv.
Ice to the country and to those
who seek honest work and
wages.
But wealth getting becomes a
crime when the man obtains It
by the sale Of all his finer in
stlncts, by the sacrifice Of his
character, by the violation of
the nations laws and by tres
pass upon the rights Of others to
the pursuit Of liberty and happl-
ness. It is this spirit and not
the thing which determines the
nobility of a career and the de-
gree Of success.
The highest victories may be

sooD WAY ro sERvE ORANGES.
BY New Method the Best Results VIII
BE Obtained.

If you are going to have oranges cut
up with other fruit, try this way OF
fixing them and see if it is not an i'm
provement over the old way of peel
ing the orange and cutting it up as
best you can with skin and sometimes
seeds in it. Cut the orange in half,
take a sharp knife and cut around
each section, then flip the pulp out
Of its quarter Squeeze the skin, see
all the juice you have, and how nicely
the orange looks in comparison to the
old way.
Use a rich biscuit crust for your
apple turnovers; the filling should be
cooked down until very thick. Roll
out the dough, cut in circles about
the size of coffee saucer, put on each
large spoonful of the sauce, wet the
edges of the crust, fold over and pinch
well together, that none of the sauce
may ooze out. These may be either
fried in deep fat or baked in quick
oven; if the latter method is chosen,
try sprinkling them quickly with a
mixture of cinnamon and graduated
sugar.
These delicacies are made by pour
Ing on the stif1y beaten whites of two
eggs a generous half pint of scalding
hot cream, and without beating, stir
In heaping tablespoonful of powdered
sugar, and few drops of orange juice.
To beat the mixture after the eggs
are added would destroy the delicious
consistency of the custards. Pour at
once into ornamental little souffie
dishes and bake, standing in pan
of hot water, in moderate oven IN
til the custards are firm. Serve in
the dishes at about blood heat on a
pretty saucer resting on lace paper
dolly, accompanied by small squares

l4oliandaise Sauce.

This is really a warm mayonnaise,
using butter instead of olive oil. 1t
is the best sauce for serving with sal
mon or other boiled fish if you desire
it hot. 1t requires a quarter pound
butter, half lemon, the yolks Of
two eggs, little salt and half tea
spoonful of white pepper The secret
of it's successful making is to pre-
serve an even temperature. The
sauce should not approach the boiling
point, as the eggs would cook and the
sauce curdle. Put the eggs in a small
saucepan and add the butter gradually,
stirring constantly with wooden
spoon. 1t will soon thicken like q
mayonnaise When the butter is all
in, add salt and pepper, and lastly the
lemon juice, stirring until well mixed.
If the sauce becomes too thick add a
little stock or hot water. Surround the
fish with parsley and slices of lemon
and serve the sauce in a bowl. A
few sliced cucumbers should be served
with fish

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS.
Simple Directions That Are Worth
Needing and Remembering.

Be careful not to overwater them.
To find out if they need water rap
the side of the pot with your knuckles.
If it rings clear and sharp the plant
needs watering.
If there is dull sound the soil is
already moist enough.
Let the soil get fairly dry before
wetting it again.
Plants thrive much better if not
permanently kept in iardinieres.
The average living room is too hot
and dry for growing things. They are
best kept in cool room and moved
to hot rooms only for temporary deco
ration.
The extremes of day and night il a
window sill are too much for most
plants. Carry them into the middle of
the room at night.
Keep a pan of water in the room
where they are kept; give them plant
food; spray them free from dust, and
keep a sharp lookout for pests.
In ventilating the room see that the
current of cold air does not strike
them directly; and remember that gas
flames are deadly to them.

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner of Amy State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity of Grape-Nuts.

Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into form of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that it is a "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts of
Wheat and Barley (Which we use) con-
tain Natures brain and nerye-building
ingredients, viz: Phosphate of Pot
ash, and the way We prepare the food
makes it easy to digest and assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey ir his book on
'Thc Biochemic System Of Medicine"
says:
When the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range of
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
"The gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-sait, potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates nerve
fluid, or the gray matter Of the brain.
"Of course, there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerye-fuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by its own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore,
when nervous sympt oms arise, due to
the fact that the n@:ve-f1uid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos-
plate of potassium is the only true
remedy, because Dothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
"The ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be oVerestimated.
Phosphate of Potash, is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man, and
the, blessings it has already conferred
on the race are many. But what
shall the harvest be- when physicians
everywhere fully understand the part
this wonderful salt plays in the
processes of life? 1t will do as much
as can be done through physiology to
make a heaven on earth.
LET the overworked business man
take it and go home good -tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en-
PERTAINING company, take it and note
how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No 'provings' are required
here. We find this potassium salt
| largely predominates in nerve-huid,
and that deficiency produces we'll
| defined symptoms. The beginning and
end of the matter is to supply the
| lacking principle, and in molecular
form, exactly as nature furnishes it in
vegetables. fruits and grain. To sup
ply defciencies-this is the only law
| OF cure"
Please observe that Phosphate of
Potash is not properly of the drug
shop variety but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored in
the grains ready for use by mankind
Those who have been helped to better
health by the use of Grape-Nuts are
legion.

STILL HAD USE FOR BOOTS.
kafir's Newly-Acquired Treasure Put
to Queer Use.

An army officer in charge OF ma
tive district in South Africa presented
to the kafir bey who acted as his par
ticular servant pair Of strong, heavi-
ly nailed army boots.
The boy was delighted with the gift,
and at once sat down and put the
boots on. They were the very first
pair he had ever had in his life, and
for several days afterward he strut
ted proudly about the camp with
them.
But at the end of the week he ap-
peared as usual with bare feet and the
boots tied round his neck.
"Hello!" said his master. ''Why
don't you wear your boots? Are they
to small for your"
"Oh. no, sah," replied the kafr.

CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
Clean Walls Are an Essential 20
Sanitary Cooking.

It is not only important to KIN aw
how to cook, but it is equally impor-
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing in a dirty kitchen can never pro-
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months-sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have light tint that the mer-
est fleck CO dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. It is all folly expecting
clean food in q kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in it, or sour
milk in it If mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly fecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea of food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly in the spring and fall Of each
year with a light tint.
The care IF the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. If there are ant
holes or any other insects in the pan.
tries thick putty of the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes,
even small mice holes can be filed
with it which will protect the pantry
from the incursions of disagreeable
insects and mice.

AS YET UNKNOWN 70 FAME.
Can ANY One Place This Quotation
from Philosopher

Louis Jones of the Grand opera
house had the blues. His brother, a
colored man, usually in good humor,
had 'em, too. Neither knew just why
he had EN-, but they had 'em just the
same. They talked of the weather,
the times and dozen other gloomy
subjects. There was nothing sunny
in the soul of a patron or a barber.
Finally both sighed in concert and a
silence fell over the shop-yes, over a
barber shop. The colored sman was
the first to speak. After several mo-
ments of silence he gave vent to an
other sigh and said:
"Well, as de old philosopah says:
Eff yo' amt got uothin,' now's yo'
