were drowned by the eapsizing Of their
canoe. Two men in a gasoline launch
tried to rescue them, but failed. The
bodies have not yet been recovered. The
young man was employed in the local
postotlice.
The water OF the river is deep where
the accident occurred and the current
swift and the wind was high, but, not
withstanding these conditions, the young
man had a sell on his canoe. The eff
forts to recover the bodies are greatly
impeded by the logs, roots, etc, in the
bottom Of the river. Dragging the river
was unavailing last evening and was
discontinued with darkness until this

Fruit and Nut Sandwich.

For a sandwich that is nice for nearly every occasion and one uni versally liked, prepare as follows: Put through the meat chopper quar ter of pound of blanched almonds half a pound of washed figs, a halt pound of dates and a pound of pecan nuts. Put them through the chopper mixing them as they are ground. Pack the mixture into baking powder can pressing it down firmly and stand aside over night. When wanted, dip the tin in hot water, loosen it with a knife and shake out the mixture With a sharp knife cut into very thin slices and put between rounds of but tered bread Serve with chocolate. Candied cherries, citron, raisins or other candied fruits may be substi- tuted for the dates and figs. Brazilian and Elberts may be used instead of a part of the oceans.
 If kept cold this confection will be good for weeks. It is very nice served cut in cubes, and makes a pleasing variety for the home made candy box.

GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE
Mexico Suspends Tariff on Corn to Relieve People Suffering from
 Drought and Floods.

To obviate the extortionate prices that are being asked for corn by spec ulators, the Mexican government has promulgated an order temporarily sus- pending the tariff on that commodity and admitting corn from the United States free from duty as long as the necessity demands, says Cooperation.
 Owing to the prevalence of extend ed drought, such as Texas has had, and floods, the Mexican crop of corn has been seriously depleted to such an extent that actual suffering exists among the people owing to the high price and scarcity.
 The Mexican government believes in looking out for it's people when there is serious need and 1t is more than probable that no cry of "pater- nalism' will fool the Mexican people into disputing the right of their gov ernment to come to their assistance, even though it may interfere with the extortionate profits of spectators and corporations.

kotIsehoId Hints.

Remove the brush from the carpet sweeper, dip in warm water, shake lightly and return. There will be no dust and the sweeper will collect bitz of dust that the dry brush wouldn f hold. This is a splendid way of clean ing a rug in sick room. Dip the brush when it dries out and the rugs will be bright and clean.
 To Mend Pans.-When a dish has become useless because of holes, try putting little putty on the bottom, smoothing it out and pressing it into the hole. It is surprising how long a mended place will last. The dish may be even put on hot stove.
 When canning peaches save the Juice prepared from the skins and pits and use it with crab apple juice, for jelly. It not only gives a va rfety of jelly, but one has the satis- faction of knowing that nothing has been wasted
 Carrots are said to give color to the complexion, and gloss to the hair, if eaten every day. One uncooked one is sufficient dose" There are many
  wholesome and attractive ways of serving the vegetable. They are very good boiled, cut in strips with lemon juice and melted butter added, or boiled in dice and served in white sauce.
 An exceedingly pretty as well as ap- petizing soup may be made of car rotS. as follows:
 Carrot Soup.
 Cut the carrots in thin slices and cook until tender, with slice of on ion and a few slices of green pepper Put the carrot through a sieve, add a binding made of one tablespoonful of butter and two of four, well blended and cooked together, then add one pint of milk and cook until smooth. Add the carrot pulp, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. A little cream is a great addition. The onion and pep per slices are removed before sitting

MUST STAND FOR THE UNION
If Farmers Expect to Be Successful They Should Keep Their Business
 to Themselves.

want to explain or say a few things about handling the lumber business in the union. You old Grang- CTS and Alliance, we know how we suffered by not attending to our busi ness. If We expect to be successful we must keep our business to our selves. If we commence selling at price that will save the union from one to five dollars, and sometimes more, you give it to the yard as leverage to cut under. Of course they can cut prices on us when they want to and they will do it to put us out of business, but they can only do that to put us out of the lumber business, writes T. G. Simpson in Co-Operator. They will then go back to the high old prices. You can remember what they did with our alliance flour mills. They sold flour below the price we could afford to sell at and our alliance people quit our mills and went where they could get the flour the cheapest. Of course we had to sell out just as soon as the alliance mills closed down You all know what the result was Flour went higher than ever just be- cause they had to make the consumer pay for the loss on the cheat and also for lost time. Now you can see where the trouble was. Because we did not stick to our own business and run it and let the other fellow alone. We lost 20 years because we did not stick to our crowd.
 Now I want to say that we have the F. D. & c. union. We have the or ganization, but I want to say we must cooperate or we will go just like the Granger and Alliance went-out of business. I don't care how large an organization we have If we had the world organized into one body and had no cooperation, it would not be worth thing So we must stick to the point. What has made the rail- roads, the oil trust and lumber trust what they are? Nothing but co-opera- tion. They organized and fought to- gether, not each other. but for each other. When anything came up which calculated to be of interest they all came together and fought it out for themselves.

The Gold Bug.

Every time we make up our mind that there's no such thing as pirate gold buried hither and yon, something occurs to change our belief and to get us all on edge again. The recent se- were storm along the coast of Yuca- tan is said to have uncovered thou sands of last century English and Spanish coins buried by the old pirate Lafitte, and again into our soul comes that old boyhood unrest and belief that if we started out with proper digging outfit and a reliable map we could unearth treasure galore. When people find pot of gold, why in the name of Capt. Kidd cant they keer still about it and let us tend to ou. -blissful knitting ?-Boston Herald.

Diet for the Woman Who Would Be


 Plump.
 Eat plenty of cream, butter, sweet fruits like grapes, melons, prunes. peaches and bananas Milk is said to be fine flesh producer if 1t is taken in a systematic way, beginning with one quart a day, drinking a pint be- fore breakfast and one on going to bed. It should be slipped slowly as 1t forms hard, indigestible clots in the stomach if swallowed as one does wa ter. A tablespoonful of lime water may be added if milk causes distress. After a week increase the quantity to three pints day, taking one pint at noon; then take a pint at each meal, and one at bed time. When the Quan- tity is increased to three quarts day, about as much as the system can use unless other food is given up. A daily bath with a vigorous rubbing is nee essary when taking large quantities of milk, as the pores of the body carry of a large part of the waste matters and they should be kept open. Stewed fruit should be eaten to help remove the remainder of the waste through the alimentary canal.
 After a months treatment the gain in flesh will go on rapidly.
 For those suffering with insomnia, a glass of warm milk on retiring is very soothing to the nerves.
 A nap in the afternoon, sweets of all kinds are helpful in putting on flesh. Don't worry, laugh often and grow fat.

Household Hints,

The flavor of stewed tomatoes (espe cially if the canned in tin variety is used), are much improved by a slice of onion cooked with the tomatoes. It removes the tinny taste without no. ticeably fiavoring with onion.
 Cranberries stewed in a double boil CT with a small piece of apple cut in to cube will remove the crudeness of the flavor, and the color is much bet ter. cooked in this way
 If the saucepan in which oatmeal is cooked is set on the table for five min utes before the contents are turned out, no hard residue will be left stick ing to the dish to be scraped of
 A broom should always be hung or stood upside down when not in use. It will last longer If dipped once a week in boiling suds and allowed to dry thoroughly before it Is used.
 To boil chicken, lamb or other fresh meat: Cover the meat with boiling wa ter, let boil rapidly five minutes, then keep the water at the simmering point, or just quivering at one side of the saucepan, until the meat is ten der When the meat is half cooked, add a teaspoonful of salt for each quart of water.
 If one likes rolls and bread with a glossy brown crust, brush over the top of each roll or loaf with the beat. en yolk of an egg diluted with little milk.

Joy grows as it is given.

 Small talk often makes big trouble.

 Some of the higher grade of poli- ticians have discarded the Golden Rule for one of steal.
 If the farmer will not study busi- ness for himself, he must let some one study and do business for him.
 The man who did not sell his brood sows on account of the high prices of feed and the inducements of extra high prices for pork the past sum- mer, is ahead of the game and the man who let them go.-
 Bankers consider the farmer good risk, because he deals in things that are real. There is no speculation connected with his business, except that which goes on after he has turned loose his products.
 If you have any troubles don't pro- ceed to air them before the public, who are only too glad to see you squabble among yourselves, but settle them in your locals. There has been enough of mud slinging in the past two years. Quit it and stick to busi- ness, and if any one gets in the way throw him out of the road and push along.

Foreign Bodies in Cattle Field.

Bits of wire from hay baling are very destructive to cattle It is the habit with some men when baling hay to drop bits of wire that are shipped off into the chaff at their feet The chan is afterward forked into the baler. The cattle swallow the small bits of wire and die from the effect. The trouble is more noticeable in the
 lfa districts of the west and
 6thwest than anywhere else, be- cause of the quantity of baled alfalfa that is fed to dairy cows in the vi cinity of cities and towns. A man working with pair of wire nippers of injury just by being careless.

Oyster cromaskies.

These are sometimes called "pigs in blankets" but the other term being shorter and perhaps more dignified, is becoming more popular: Scald the oysters in their own liquor over a quick fire. When plump, wrap each one in slice of thin bacon and fast en with small wooden toothpick. Cook in the blazer, heated very hot. Serve on thin rounds of toast. These cromeskies are easily cooked on a broiler resting in dripping pan in ! hot oven.

Household Hints.

Olive oil is valuable addition to the medicine chest. A teaspoonful ta. ken after a meal will relieve dyspep. sia. Mixed with equal parts of lime water it is invaluable for burns.
 It is good to use to massage a dry scalp and for rubbing over the body after a bath.
 Never eat when very tired; one should always rest before eating. A glass of hot water or diluted fruit juice will relieve the faint feeling of exhaustion.
 When the body is in state of ia. tigue the whole digestive apparatus Is incapable of doing efficient work.

Broomcorn a Money Crop.

Out at Guymon, in Texas county, they are paying s175 per ton for broom corn and one of the principal farmers there, who has been looking into the situation, says the county will this season market 1000 tons of broomcorn. This should not be re- igarded as poor record for dry oeason.
