The candid ates Of five of these pc.
litical parties have no hope OF win
ming at the polls, but some of them
are contributing largely to the gayety
OF the campaign. They represent
phases of political belief that are not
acceptable to a majority of the Am.
ericau people, but they are making an
aggressive campaign on behalf of the
principles they represent.
In the presidential election of four
years ago the popular vote was:
Roosevelt, 1923, 4S6: Parker, 5,O77,97l.
This resulted in an electoral vote of
336 for Roosevelt, and l40 for Parker.
The socialist ticket polled the larg-
est popular vote Of any Of the weaker
parties in the presidential election Of
four years ago, the Debs electors re.
ceiving a total Of 402, 2S3 The pro.
hibitiOnists were next on the list with
a popular vote of 25S, $50, followed by
the populist vote Of III, IS3, aud the
socialist labor vote of 3l,249.
The total popular vote in the presi-
Dental election OF four years ago, in.
Guiding scattering votes, was Ii, $780,
52l.
Reference to the returns Of former
presidential elections at which MIR.
Bryan was a candidate, shows that
he made a better vote getting record
than Judge Parker.
In 1896, when Mr.. Bryan first be-
came a candidate for the presidency,
and was the fusion nominee Of the
democrats and populists, the popular
vote was: Mckinley, 7,lO4, 10; Bry.
an, $500, 925. The electoral vote was
81 for Mckinley and l76 for Bryan.
With practically the same total pop
ular vote in the presidential election
of 1900, the Mckinley electors polled
1927 1923, and the Bryan electors s.
35S, 1873. The electoral vote was %.
for Mckinley and l55 for Bryan.
These data may form Il basis fol
estimates as to what may result from
the vigorous efforts that are being
made to secure popular support fo1
one or the other of the candidates
who are seeking a four-year residence
in the White house.

following story of an Englishman she
met during recent trip to Mexico.
The Englishman became acquaint-
ed with the American party while
they were all guests at a winter ho-

American girl proposed any trip the
Englishman Immediately begged to
be made one of the party. He was to
be included in moonlight trip to

COOKING PRUNEs.

We wash the prunes thoroughly,
then put them to soak in sufficient
water to supply the proper amount
of liquid or juice when served, and
allow them to soak for twenty-four
hours, then place on fire and boil for
five minutes, then place vessel in
6reless cook box and allow to remain
twelve hours, when they will be
ready to serve. No sugar is needed.
If one has no cook box, the prunes
may be allowed to stand in a closed
vessel for twenty-four hours after
the five minutes cooking, making
forty-eight hours soaking. 1t is soak
ing, not cooking or stewing, which
makes dried or evaporated fruit pal
atable, and few of them require any
sugar when so prepared, peaches,
peas and nectarines being prepared
in she same way We have found
this method great improvement
over the ordinary stewing with sugar
and suggest that others, who find
stewed prunes somewhat unsatisfac-
tory, try soaking.-G. B., in Rural
New Yorker.

"FLETCRERISM. 7"
8ooeoooooe ooeeocoeooooooeS


This is a word which has been
coined to denote a peculiar dietary
idea originated and advocated by Mr..
Horace Fletcher. 1t is a system Of
dietetics which differs from all others
in that it takes little or no account
of the nature of the food, but con-
Germs itself entirely with the manner
of eating. It is simple in form, but
tedious in the extreme-at least to
those who do not practice it con-
stantly-in its execution
Mr.. Fletcher is an avowed enemy
of the universal habit of sitting down
to three meals a day as a routine
practice, and insists upon the neces-
sity of eating only when one is hun
CRY. But this is only by the way, for
the essence of his system is thorough
mastication-not thorough only but
absolutely complete. One must chew
and chew and chew again every NOR
sci of food taken into the mouth until
it is reduced to an impalpable and
tasteless fluid, which then slips down
without any conscious act of swallow
ing.
Grand results in the way of bodily
and mental vigor ere claimed for this
system. Those who practice it are
said to enjoy absolute health and to
possess great strength and powers of
endurance. Mr.. Fletcher himself,
who is now nearly sixty years old,
is gaining prodigiously in muscular
power and in the ability to endure
great physical strain, although he as
serts that he is not in training and
that he takes no regular and system
attic exercise.
In series of tests scientifically APP
piled at the gymnasium of Yale Uni
versity, he recently made a record
one hundred per cent better than any
previously made by trained athletes
of half his years. Naturally he and
his followers assert that this is the
direct result of his system of mastica-
ton. Others explain it differently.
His record in this respect is so far
ahead of that made by any other per-
son, whether an athlete or a follower
of his system, that the most reason
able explanation is that it is due to a
personal peculiarity-that he is a
physical genius, as Mozart was in
music, or Napoleon in war, or Shakes
peare in literature, and that his
dietary system has only served to de-
velopl his already surprising powers
of endurance.
His excessive mastication makes
him very abstemious, for in slow eat
ing hunger is appeased by much
smaller amount of food than when
one bolts his food Most persons eat
far too much, and all excess of food
puts tax upon the vital energies.
Thorough 1nastication is good but
excessive mastication deprives the di-
gestive organs of their necessary
stimulus, and so is an error Mod
GRAFTON is what should be practiced-
moderation in the amount of food
and moderation in its mastication

TOLD
lINTS

Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans
cleansed or sprinkled with lime or
oil.
If rolls stick to pan they can be
put back on the top of the stove for
a minute or two when they come out
easily.
When cooking with old apples add
little lemon Juice to give havor.
Summer apples need nothing but
sugar.
Bottles that must be air tight
should have the corks dipped in
melted paraffine until thoroughly
coated
Should cakes stick to the pans put
hot cloth on the bottom for a
minute or two. 1t papers are used
sticking is infrequent
Turnips boiled in their jackets like
beets are much better than when
pared. Adding little sugar to the
water will correct any bitterness
Heat lemon thoroughly before
squeezing and you will obtain near
ly double the quantity of juice that
you would if it had not been heated.
Keep the flies away from the sick,
especially those i'll from contagious
diseases. Kill every fly that strays
into the sick room. His body is COW
cred with disease germs.
AS soon as salt ham or tongue
is cooked remove it from the boiling
water to a pan of cold water for a
few seconds. This will loosen the
skin, which may be easily peeled off.
