Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what ire.
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work well, too.
Here's a good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
of Quaker Oats. A big dish of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without ressive IA
tigue. There is sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it is at the
head of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in large size family packages, with
and without china. s

son OF Benjamin Eldridge, wealthy
Illinois sewing machine manufacturer,
started for Telescope peak to inspect
power site. On the way they lost
most of their provisions and all but
one of their burros. When their wa
ter supply was reduced to five gallons
Mike says Eldridge suggested the
tossing of coin to see which should
take the burro and make a dash for
Greenwater for aid. Mike won and
taking one gallon of water left his
companion.
On arriving at Greenwater he sent
party in search of the missing man,
but no trace of him was found

BALLOONIST FALLS IN RIVER
CAPT. BALDWIN PLUNGES INTO
HUDSON FROM AIR.
Wilbur Wright and Glenn Curtss
Make Successful Flights at
New York.

New York-The first day of flight
of the Hudson-Fulton celebration
Wednesday was a victory for the
heavier-than-air machine. Wilbur
Wright successfully circled the great
statue of Liberty at the entrance of
New York harbor, in his aeroplane,
but two huge dirigible balloons, in the
upper part of the city, failed in their
task.
Both Wright and Glenn H. Curtiss
scared successfully from the aero
drome on Governors Island in their
propelled biplanes; both great
dirigibles, manned respectively by
Capt Thomas Baldwin and George l..
Tomlinson and entered in the New
York Worlds $4,000 New York-to-
Albany race, were forced to descend
because of mechanical difficulties be-
fore they were well under way.
Wilbur Wright made three sensa-
tional flights and Curtiss made one
brief though successful test spin of
80 seconds duration. Baldwin with
his dirigible landed in the Hudson
river less than an hour after the start,
while Tomlinson, after remaining in
the air from 1876 a. m. until 1870
p. M, came to earth near White
Plains, N, Y, % miles from his start
ing point. Neither of the dirigible
pilots was injured nor was either
craft seriously damaged.
New York.-A night carnival parade

Guiding event of Children's day in the
Hudson-Fulton celebration Saturday
This pageant was of generally ale

ing upon the events of the week was
the representation it gave of arts and
ideals that contributed to Americas
present civilization and culture.
In the planning and construction of
these SO floats the German, Austrian
and Swiss societies of the city CO.
operated with the carnival committee
and the Teutonic mythology which the
early colonists brought to this part
or the country was strongly in evil
dence. But the classic legends of
Greece and Rome were not lacking,
and large number of the floats rep
resented abstract subjects such as
Poetry Music, Art, War, Humor,
Good Luck, Freedom and Peace.

FIGHT FOR LIFE IN LAKE
Three Occupants of Crippled Launch
Rescued Almost Overcome
by Cold.

Chicago. Two men and a boy
in a gasoline launch were rescued
after a 14-hour battle with the waves
of Lake Michigan, in which they were
almost overcome by cold. The engine
of their craft was broken and they
were unable to propel the boat. When
the life-savers, under the direction of
Capt. Charles Carlin, reached them,
the exhausted victims were ready to
give up their struggle. They are H.
Rohrbok, G. A. Rohrbok, his son, and
Frank Macy of Saugatuck, Mich,
who left there few days ago for a
pleasure cruise.
They were about two miles out in
the lake when the engine broke and
water poured into the rolling boat.
Young Rohrbok used pail to bail
out the craft. In trying to throw it to
Macy the vessel was lost in the lake
All then used their hats as dippers
to rid the launch of water. They
sought to attract the attention of res
cuers by pouring gasoline on gar
ments and burning them, but their
matches were blown out by the wind
All night they fought the waves and
young Rohrbok fell to the bottom of
the boat exhausted.
AS a last resort the men tied a
shirt to an oar carried for emergency
and this signal was seen by a man of
Capt. Carlin's crew in a watch tower
The life-savers launched a boat and
hurried to the rescue

SAYS THE PRESIDENT.

Seattle, Wash.-President Taft
speaking before a vast concourse OF
people assembled in the natural amphi.
theater of the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition, which has a seating capac-
ity of nearly 10000, Thursday, an.
nounced that he had concluded to
urge upon congress, in his annual
message, the passage of a ship sub
sidy bill.
Mr.. Taft declared that the country
was ready to make such experiment
and that something must be done to
build up an American merchant ma
rine. His utterances on this subject
were received with great acclaim He
said that if a war should come at
this time, the United States would not
have enough vessels to carry coal to
its fleets. And it would be doubtful.
under neutrality laws, he added, if the
United States would be able to buy
foreign vessels in the emergency.
Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 2.-After pass
ing two days in and about Seattle
President Taft came to Tacoma and
received from the audience that
thronged the big armory one of the
most cordial greetings of his trip. The
president was entertained at dinner at
the Union club, after making the trip
from Seattle on board the yacht FL
primero, owned by Chester Thorne.
The torpedo boat destroyer Perry es-
corted the yacht
From the exposition grounds the
president motored to the Seattle
Country club, where he took luncheon
and passed the early afternoon on the
golf links. The sail on the sound from
Seattle to Tacoma occupied two hours
President Taft promised to attend
another exposition to be held on the
Pacific coast in 1915 in celebration of
the completion of the Panama canal.
Mr.. Taft said the date was beyond his
term of office but that his interest
in the Panama canal and in the extern
sion of trade on the Pacific had been
so great for so many years that he
readily gave his promise to attend.
President Taft's unqualified state
ment in his speeches here that the
Panama canal would be completed in
1915 aroused great enthusiasm, as the
entire Pacific coast is expecting to
profit greatly by the short all-water
route from the eastern seaboard and
the opening of European markets to
this section.

HEAD-oN COLLISION KILLS TWO.
Meeting OF Trains Occurs Near Ban
ming, Ontario.

Winnipeg, Manitoba-A head-on
collision occurred near Banning, east
of Fort Frances, resulting in the death
of Fireman Woodcock and Brakeman
Lockhart of the westbound freight. 1t
is understood that the eastbound train
misunderstanding orders ran past La.
zine, where it was ordered to meet the
local freight number 81 and met in a
head-on collision.
The heavy wheat laden train plowed
over the local train. The crew of the
eastbound jumped to safety as did the
engineer of the local train, but two
unfortunates were scalded to death by
the steam from the badly wrecked en-.
gines. Both engines were nearly de.
molished and dozen cars were re.
duced to kindling. The wrecking crew
is at work and the two bodies will be
sent to Rainy River for burial.

most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.
my first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fat that was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the direc-

How much individual credit belongs
to Maria Parloa for the improvement
which has taken place in American
home cooking within the last quarter
OF century it is difficult to say But
that she was one of the foremost of
the advocates of saner diet and that
she contributed materially to a Gu
linary reform of which the present
generation is enjoying the benefit adj
mits of no question Miss Parloa was
one of the first to apply scientific meth
DDS to cooking and to instill the prin-
ciples of domestic economy in Amer
lean homes. Through her books and
lectures she carried on a propaganda
for sound digestion which made her
name household word Bad cooking
has not been abolished. But it is I'M
doubtedly not SO prevalent. The fry
ing pan is less and the broiler more in
evidence. Breakfasts have grown sim
pier; they no longer burden the diges-
ton with many kinds of hot breads
and meats. More intelligence is put
into the preparation of food for the
table. The housewives efforts are now
concentrated on dinner, the postpone
ment of which to the end of the day
mas been gain for digestion.
