| TAKE this method of informing the
that | am a CNNUIDATE for the Sherittalty,
subject to the Republican County Primaries.
In furthcrance of my ambition and aspi-
ration to receive the Nomination, ! might
say to the Republican Voters, and especially
to those with whom have no personal ac-
quaintance, that have been a resident of
Frostburg for twenty years, and have been
an advocate of Republican principles and
an active party worker in the ranks of the
party since arriving at voting age.
| have never before asked my party for an
office within its gift, but to the best of my
ability have striV"n to help those fellow
Republicans who have aspired to office
But now. at the solicitation of many Re
publican friends throughout the county, cs-
pecially in my home town, have decided
to become a Candidate for the office named.
|, therefore, earnestly and respectfully so
licit the support Of Republicans in the next
County Republican primaries.
And, in the event of my nomination and
election, | shall endeayor to perform the
duties appertaining to the office in such
manner that no Republican will regret that
the office is being administered by an actual,
consistent Republican. Respectfully,
June GEORGE A. MAYS.

"The attendance was certainly very

have as many more come with them.

Wooden Utensils.

In many of the modern kitchens,
these utensils made of wood-rolling-
pin, chopping-b bread-board, etc
are being superseded by articles man
ufactured from glass, marble and 9TH
er nonfibrous materials. But in the
majority of homes the old-fashioned
kind are still on duty, and, indeed,
they are preferred by many house
wives who are afraid of the danger
from breaking glass or china.
But it must be remembered that the
chief drawback to the wood is the
difficulty in keeping it absolutely
clean. They are most unsanitary if
put away without thorough investi-
cation of every nook and crack in the
wood-those comfortable. shelters for
germs and ,decomposing food. Before
putting the wooden utensil away,
scrape it well and wash it in cold
water. This latter is important, as
the hot water opens the poors of the
wood thus rendering it more sus-
%ceptible to>dirt.t Scrape and rub with
the grain Of the wood, and never put
away without drying well-preferably
ION the back of the stove.
/ AZ little salsoda in the water is a
sanitary precaution, and 1t is well to
rene ubeE. that wooden bowls should
never be placed on the shelf upside
down.

Nuts or Meat.

Nuts have an extraordinary food
value; they are the cheapest form of
energy, and contain protein in album
dance. For this reason they are
meat substitute, not an accessory.
They should not be eaten as wind
up to hearty meal, except in very
small quantities.
There are many combinations Of
nuts which are both attractive ard
wholesome-can be made into soups,
sandwiches and salads, and are ex-
cellent taken with all kinds of fruit.
The oil in the nut combines readily,
with the acid.
Salt should be eaten freely with
nuts.
In hot weather they are nourishing
substitute for hearty foods, but re-
member to eat sparingly when meat
is used.

AT the Dead Letter Office.

The division of dead letters is on
of the show places of the national
capital and is visited annually by
thousands of sight-seers. There is
much that appeals to human interest
and emotion in the immense stacks of
letters and parcels received at the
rate of 10000 day, and containing
articles of every description, some of
them bearing addresses which can
not be deciphered, even by the ex-
perts. In the 100000 places of
mail matter received by the division
last year there were 5000 bonks, 1000
pair of eyeglasses. 900 fountain pens,
800 razors, false teeth, marriage Ii

Branded Peaches.

There is no preserved fruit which
SO well repays the time and trouble

go" well with any meal-a simple
luncheon, a light supper or elaborate

Select large, perfect peaches, place
in a colander, carefully, and steam
gently until hot through. Then peel
and drop into hot syrup to cook few
moments. Do not let them get mushy.
Do not stir them. Put them away in

Two Fancy Summer Dishes.

Asparagus is extra dainty if served
with Hollandaise sauce to which is
added the juice of a blood orange and
bit of finely grated orange peel.
For the Hollandaise, put two table
spoons of good vinegar into pan with
salt and pepper. Boil down to tea
spoonful. Add to this two tablespoons
cold water and the yolks of two raw
eggs. Stir till thick, then add an
ounce of butter, stirring it off the fire
till it melts. Let it reheat, and add
gradually more butter, perhaps three,
ounces in all. Add spoonful of wa,
ter to keep it from turning. (This
is an elaborate French recipe.)
Strawberries are delicious served in
scooped out pineapple with dice of
the pineapple pulp, marinaded with
light wine and powdered sugar. Put
frozen or whipped cream on top, aft

The mourning was brief and then
all Sodom descended on to Macs
claim and started plugging for the
cache-all except Thigley, the saint
of Sodom, the only living monument
Of Peter Dudd's gospel. Thigley, un-
touched by the epidemic, was gather
ing up the fragments. Presently he
began intoning mercy on the remains.
Those were doleful doings in the red

"Yep," I said. That reminded me
that the dog referred to had been alb.

"And how we doctored his bacon

Thigley praying SO close brought
out these reflections.
I'VE sure wasn't neighborly," said.
A full hour passed before Didsey
broke out again. Thigley was quiet.
Sodom was turned loose on Macs
claim like nest of demons. There
wasn't any love running out of our
hearts.

in the ruins of the shanty, and had
dug a trench and various cisterns

The little man swore unctuously. A
minute later he called after us in
the dark: II hope you had pleasant

Sodom was raw that night; new

You would have to see McConachie
to catch the power of the saying that
he was just as mean as he looked
He had head like a quinine cap
sule, and as full of gall. His skin
was grayish- brown; his eyes were like
dead cinders If you let him alone,
but they blew red when his temper
was turned on. A wildcat had got
the back-thresh on his other features,
so you needed a field glass to pick
them out. The rest of McConachie
was squat shape and gorilla arms.
We Sodom folks haven't got any feel
ing against mans looks If his heart
is Gods little garden, but McCona-
CHIEFS wasn't.
For ages and ages the Mammon
Canyon and Sodom had known this
eye-warmer. The old river-mother
loved him, if we didn't, and had shown
him her choicest streaks of yellow for
years. He was richer than anybody
in our part of Arizona, and no bank,
kin, circus, or bar ever profited a
smiles worth from the turnings of his
pick. We all believed that Nc.
Conachie took his winnings back to
nature, cached them somewhere in
the gorge or under his shanty. He
never got drunk nor married, and the
cache didn't leak. Maybe we were
rough on McConachie at times.
One blazing noon when Sodom was
scratching away at the claims and
meditating on the soothing night of
seven-up at Blinkey Giles red-eye
fountains, there came sudden boom
from up the gorge, and the SILVER OF
air which dynamite always pushes
through the cut. This was nothing,
for McConachie had way of using
powder when things were slow; only
BERTHE CoCtton came in to dinner with
the word that McConachie's cabin
would know the sputter of bacon no
more-unless somebody else moved
in. BERTHE furthermore testified that
a cursory search here and there about
the late McConachies claim had un

& Put up small amount of fruit at a
time. The result is more satisfactory,
and in this way the work is done with
less fuss and feathers than when a
whole day is consumed.
Care in selecting the fruit is i'm:
portant; be sure to take it under, rath-
3er than over, ripe. Imperfect, cheap
fruit is never an economy.
The most satisfactory way, ii one is
afraid of experiments, lies in the old
fashioned way. of kettle canning, .
which means merely stewing the fruit
with an equal amount of sugar and
sealing in hot cans or Jars or glasses.
