To Make Good Salad Dressing.

Care is necessary to make good
salad Dressing must be thoroughly
mixed, icy cold, and the ingredients
of the salad itself should be daintity
prepared.
In making either mayonnaiSe or
French dressing have everything cold.
Chill the bowl with ice water and in
hot weather mix it in a larger bowl
of cracked ice, OF, if that be not con-
venient, at least sit in the cellar
while making the mayonnaise; other
wise it will be apt to curdle.
Always keep the eggs in the fee
box for at least an hour before max
ing dressing and see that they are
SO carefully separated that not
particle of the white remains.
Patience is the one secret of sue
Cessful mayonnaise. If the drop by
drop principle is not rigidly adhered
to until the dressing takes on sub
stance that makes going back i'm
probable, dire will be the results.
Should the dressing curdle, begin
over again with fresh egg, mixing
in the curdled part after the new
dressing is well stiffened.
In making a quantity of mayonnaise
it is better to thin with pieces of
cracked ice rather than with lemon
or vinegar, as, otherwise, it may be
too acid.
Even though the dressing looks all
right and has been set away for sew
eral hours in the refrigerator, be
careful not to stir it before putting on
the salad; otherwise you may be
Mortified to have it go back when
just ready to be served. This is not
an infrequent occurrence, but is usu-
ally caused by too rapid mixing.
If too late to start over again with
the fresh egg, the only thing to do
not to delay the dinner is to hastily
mix a good French dressing, conscl-
ing yourself that it is more health
full after a big dinner than the heav-
Ter mayonnaise.
Rub bit of garlic or onion on
the salad bowl in making any dress
ing and the flavor will be much i'm
proved.
A tablespoonful or two of rich
cream added just at the last to
mayonnaise makes it lighter and ric5-
er.

spoonfuls of lemon juice. Beat the
whites of the eggs very stiff, fold half
the whites into the yolk and sugar,
then half the flour, then the remain
der of the whites and the rest OF the
-four. Divide this batter into two pie
pans and bake. When cold split each
cake and put in the following:
Filling-Two cupfuls of milk, two
eggs, one-half cupful of sifted flour,
two tablespoonfuls of butter, one cup
tul OF sugar, one and one-half tea
spoonfuls of vanilla. Put three-fourths
Of the milk into a double boiler to-
gether with the butter and set OFF the
range. Beat the eggs very light; add
the sugar, -four and the remainder of
the milk. Beat until perfectly smooth,
and when the milk in the boiler is
scalding hot stir in the mixture. Beat
until smooth and cook thoroughly;
when cool add the vanilla. Ii made
a day before serving and kept on ice
the quality of these pies is said to be
improved.

FOR THE THIN WOMAN.

The first suggestion is TO preserve
the height and also maintain breadth
AS short skirts tend to take away
the height, skirts should be as long
as possible
Slender women should wear priIl-
cess and empire models, as height is
reckoned by the length from the waist
line.
For street wear the plated skirr
untrimmed is very much the best
choice
With this the coat must be either
short or very long, as a three-quarter
length will not be becoming
Black hats should not be worn. for
when a black hat is worn the height
seems to stop at the face
This may be avoided by wearing Z
touch of white on the hat so that the
eye may be carried beyond the face.
Trimming on her dresses should be
arranged lengthwise when it is of con
trasting figure
A stylish arrangement by which
the hips of the slight woman are
brought into prominence is to com
mence the trimming below the hips.
The large hat will seriously detract
from the height of the small woman.
and she should for this reason select
a small or medium sized one.

PRICES SO YEARS AGO.

The following interesting item IS
from the Fairchild Observer:
F.. R. Brockway recently made
visit to his old home 1T Black River
Falls and while there came across
day book kept by his father, who was
one of the pioneers of that section,
keeping a store and saving lumber.
He built the first bridge across the
river at that point, selling it to the
county later, and previous to the
bridge ran the ferry. The location
of Mr.. Brockwayis business was
known as Lower Falls, south OF the
city of Black River Falls, and the
township is now known and legally
named Brockway township
There are some things we notice
among the items that are cheaper
than they can be purchased at the
present day, as, for instance, pair
of overalls is put down to a customer
at so cents, and shoes are charged
for at the rate of 81 to 1915 a pair.
But what would be the result if one
should find on his monthly account
items like the following which is
copied from an account dated Jan.
%, 1869. To IL pounds sugar, 81;
to / pound tea, s1.50; to 1 box
matches, Is cents; to 2 gallons syrup,
SO; to 1 gallon kerosene oil so cents"
Just try to think what the people
would do to John D. if they were
compelled to pay so cents gallon
for kerosene oil And what do you
think of tea at $3.50 a pound and
matches Is cents a box And then
comes along fellow who certainly
had money to burn as he purchased
a busheI of potatoes and plunked
down SO for them. Compare that
with 40 cents a bushel, the price
which is being paid for potatoes
now Along in the book we find a
credit which reads like this 'Thos
B. Hogue, by days work, $500"
Wouldn't that jar you. And there
are people who wish for the old times
back again.

hardy and flowers abundantly. 1t is
well adapted to beds and masses.
The Baby Rambler rose, a dwarf
polyantha of recent origin, is partic-
ularly suitable for planting in beds,
being a strong grower with upright
habit, yielding large clusters of Grim
son or white flowers, of only medium
size, but effective because of the pro-
fusion with which they are produced.
1t is hardy, vigorous and continuous
towering; it has good foliage and
will be largely grown by all plant
lovers 1t supplies a long-felt want
a good bedding rose. While the flow
ers are not as desirable for cutting as
those produced ON single stems. the
clusters &C blossoms c~n be utilized
in vases to good effect. Moderate pro
lection in winter is recommended.
Mdlle Cecilia Drummer, dwarf
polyantha, one of the fairy roses, so
called because of their miniature
buds and blossoms, will be highly
priced. It's perfect little buds are
followed by small but fully developed
flowers of a salmon color, afterwards
becoming white. The flowers are
in clusters. It's wealth of exquisite
flowers make it admirable for bed

YOUTHFUL CRIMINALS.

The head of the Boston police force
states his conviction that the city
| boy of this generation Is much more
apt to act in defiance of the law than
the boy OF years gone by This de-
| tiance is often manifested in relative
y small matters, such as window
breaking and petty thievery, but the
absence of the wholesome restraints
OF former day is notable every
| where.
| AS instances OF the operations OF
the youthful thieves in Boston it Is
stated that boys and girls have stolen
so many towels from the public oath
houses that there is talk OF giving up
the practice of furnishing these arti-
| Cles free Residents of the immedi-
ate suburbs declare that petty thiev-
cry is SO general that it is useless to
think of trying to raise any 1ruit or
flowers. The lack of restraint IS
mentioned by motormen and chauf-
feurs who complain that their task
Of guiding cars is greatly increased
in difficulty because of the deliberate
risks taken by children in their def
ance of the long established rules OF
the road.
The usual conclusion reached when
such matters are called to attention
is that there is a lack of the old
| fashioned home training, and that the
parents are leaving to the teachers in
| the schools the instruction of the
children in fundamental things which
once were taught in the family. If
the teachers fail in this important
particular either from neglect of duty
or from lack of knowledge of what
the parents expect of them, then it is
| evident that the children will groyS
up careless of matters counted

The carelessness respectinSea~i Inc

acteristics of youth nowadays. The

tween this habit of boys and girls ana

| There are many young folks, how
ever, who have no computations in
taking spoons, or stems, or ornamen-
tai match safes, sofa pillows, PEN
nants, or many another article OF
possible value for decorative pur-
poses. The thought of thieving for
money gain is rarely present in such
cases. The assertion that such an
act is criminal if met with resent
ment. In the youthful mind there is
world of difference between ''swip-

MINERAL PAINT PRODUCTION.

In 1906 the total production in the
United States of natural pigments,
consisting of metallic paint and mortar
colors, ocher, umber, sienna, zinc
white, slate, and carbonaceous shaIes
and schists, amounted to 124,601 short
tons, Valued at s6,521,104, as against
125,2O2 short tons, valued at S6,245,173.
in 1905, a decrease of COL short tons
in quantity in 1906, but an increase of
$275,931 in value. TIL, decrease in
quantity reported is due chiefly to
greater care in eliminating from, the
statistical returns such pigments as
are not manufactured directly from
mineral raw materials. The produc-
tlon of ocher, zinc white, and metallic
paint showed increases in both uuan-
atty and value.
pennsylvania leads in the produc-
tlon OF ocher, Georgia standing second.
virginia shows a considerably in
creased production of ocher. and for
the first time Kentucky reports an
output of this material Pennsylvania

A MEDIEVAL ROCKEFELLER.
Richer Than a King and Lived Law,
ishIV,


About the year 1880 Charles ", en-
peror of Germany, viewing the royal
treasury at Paris, remarked: "I have
a weaver in Augsburg able to buy all
this with his own gold.
This weaver, who was in fact some
thing more than weaver, being a
great merchant prince and manufac-
turer, was Anton Fugger, who lodged
the emperor in his own house for
whole year during the celebrated diet
of Augsburg He warmed the emperor
before a fire of cinn mon wood and
burned in that Same fire bonds rep
Tesenting large sums owing him by
his majesty.
efas Anton's liability confined to
-ovalty. He founded hospitals and
schools on most generous scale;
built model houses which were leased
tn industrious burghers for very
moderate rental and contributed to
every benevolent scheme
Notwithstanding this eleemosynary
profusion he left six million gold
crowns in cash, besides ships on every
sea and precious articles, Jewels and
properties in all countries of Europe
and both the Indies. This fortune,
computed by the stands of that day,
was probably equal to that popularity
supposed to be possessed now by John
D. Rockefeller.
The founder of the. Fugger family
was one Jacob, who died in 1859. He
did actually drive the shuttle in the
village of Goeggingen, near Augsburg.
He accumulated a substantial fortune.
His descendants proved thrifty and In
creased the business and the wealth
until the family was able to make no
bic ana even royal alliances and to cut
a great figure in financial and polit-
zeal affairs.
The period of the rise of this fam
lily was the golden age of Germany's
industrial and financial development
from the early fifteenth to the early
seventeenth century A distinguished
writer has said of that period: Com
nerce was pouring new strength into
every. peaceable community. The
Hanse league secured the fruits of in
dustry all over the north. The hav-

RAISING THE. RATE.
Weekly Newspaper Forced to increase
Subscription Price.


Subscription Price.
The laborer in worthy of his hire
and there is no wisdom or benevol-
ence in running a business at loss.
The publishing of newspaper or run
ming a printing office is, In either case,
a simple business proposition. The
Adrian, Mich, Times, recently had a
well-considered articles on this sub
ject in which it said:
Weekly newspapers in Nebraska,
Iowa and several other western states
have lately advanced the price of sub
scription from 81 to $50, and occa-
sionally one in Michigan is doing the
same, while more will have to follow
speedily or go out of business. The
patent inside houses have raised their
services about so per cent. Labor and
material of all sorts have climbed up
ward until these publishers who keep
accurate books say their weekly pa
pers are costing them double what
they did few years ago. AS mat
ter of fact, no decent looking weekly
should ever have been sold for dol
lar a year, or daily paper at 81, for
that matter. Omittlng all advertis-
ing, 10 weekly could be issued a year
for a dollar or even 50 unless the cir
culation was very large. On the same
basis daily paper of 5000 would cost
more than S. to each subscriber, con-
siderably more, yet has often been
sold for 81 year by mail. That time
has passed and is not likely to leturn.
1t never should have been know for
the price was always too low. A
fairly readable eight-page daily paper
is easily worth one cent copy by
mail, and that amounts to $3.12 for a
paper like the Daily Times mail edi-
tion, postage prepaid. To make even
change, the mail subscription price
should be fixed at So, invariably in ad-
vance. Any intelligent reader, know
ing all the facts, would willingly pay
the advanced cost, knowing he was
getting the worth of his money and
buying his paper for less than it cost.
1T is an axiom of the publishing
business, a century old at least, that
the subscriptions and sales of any
weekly paper ought to pay all The ex-
pense of producing it, leaving the re-
ceipts from advertising to pay interest
on the plant, make repairs and reward
/ the owner for his labor 1t is safe
| to say that not weekly In Michigan
today IS doing 1t, and the daily papers
are still worse off. In most cases sub
scriptions do scarcely more than pay
for the white paper and possibly the
postage. The only conclusion is that
the selling price Of weekly and daily
local papers must go up fully so per
cent. 1t is hard proposition for most
publishers, but it must be done"

She never suffragettorates.
"She is a jasimiue-scented, rosy
