DRIED BANANAS DELICIOUS
SWEETNEAT.

Consul Ralph J. Totten of Puerto
Plata, sends the following description
of delicious sweetmeat prepared in
Santo Domingo by both natives and
foreigners:
1t is made from large, thoroughly
ripe bananas. The skins are remov-
ed and the fruit cut into slices about
quarter of an inch in thickness.
These pieces are sprinkled with fine
or powdered sugar and are placed in
the sun, laid out on boards or shall
low trays. AS the fruit dries out
it is turned over several times and
each time is busted with the sugar
In few days it becomes sufficiently
dry and the result is a crystallized
conserve most delightful to the taste
Those who have eaten this sweetmeat
are uniformly pleased with the deli
cate flavor, holding it superior to any
of the costly crystallized fruits

SECRETARIES TO THE BRAIN.

| Habit is the requirement of ma.
chine-like or automatic power Of
| performing certain duties. Actions
which we have at first to exercise ouI
| intellectual centers to be able to per-
| form are ultimately discharged with
out any reference to our mind OF
consciousness.
Indeed, when the intellect comes to
interfere with the automatic perform
ance of such acts, they are apt to
be less perfectly executed than when
the machinelike activity of the brain
is permitted to have its sway. Take
the case of reading, writing and spell
ing; at first we have to acquire these
gifts through exercise of close intel
lectual attention.; later on they are
automatically performed.
We do not after the childish stage
of education require to bethink our
selves over the shape of letters, the
sound of syllables or the formation
of words by act of the pen. Clearly
what was at first an intellectual act
has become purely mechanical.
Also in exercising the other "R''
and in doing a sum we arrive at a
correct solution without having to
think out the rationale of the opera
ton, as we did when taught arithme-
tic at school. The saving of the in
tellectual centers which deal with
questions and affairs of moment must
be enormous in consequence of this
division of labor. The centers in
question are left free to exercise
judgment and to engage in the high
est operations of our conscious life
In the brain structure we actually
find centers which discharge these
automatic duties and play the part of
private secretaries to the head of the
mental firm. Even when we come
to higher brain operations a like
principle prevails.
Centers are set apart for govern
ing muscles, others receive messages
from organs of sense, and others
again, sitting in the judgment seat,
report upon information received

WASH|NGTON'S
HEIR WANTS LAND
NEAREST LIVING RELATIVE TO
FIRST PRESIDENT SEEKS A
TRACT OF LAND GRANTED RY
STATE OF VIRGINIA.
Special to the World.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Foremost
among the heirs of George Washing
ton, who are pressing their claims for
100000 on account of lands in Chi
cago, is Lawrence Washington. who
is said to be the nearest living rela-
tive of the first president. Mr.. Wash
ington is an employee of the congress
ional library, and is giving personal
attention to the case.
The claim is for a large tract of
land lying on the Little Miami river,
which was granted by the state of
Virginia to General Washington while
Ohio was still a part of that state,
on account of services in the revolu-
tionary war.
The movement to obtain the money
started in 1907, when Colonel Rob
ert E. Lee, jr., of Virginia, was ap-
pointed administrator of the estate
of General Washington.
During the hearing by the house
committee on claims it was pointed
out that Washington believed he had
a good title and that Colonel Richard
Anderson, surveyor of lands at Louis
vile, KY, and an ancestor of Repre-
sentative Nicholas Longworth, for
got to notify the heirs of an attempt
to re-enter the land.
Washington never made but one
request to congress-" said his kins-
man, who was present, land that
was for the return of his commission
in the army 1t was never acted on"

New York, Jan. 1S.-That Fritz
Augustus Heinze, the copper mag
nate, still has plenty of money de-
spite his financial difficulties OF
years ago, is not doubted by those
who attended a dinner given to act
resses in an upper room at Rector's
restaurant, at which he presided.
The dinner cost $50 a plate, and in
addition a 800 bill was given to
each of the women at the table.
These bills were put in English wal
nuts. When each actress cracked
the nut that was put beside her plate
she found a tight little 500 wad
therein.
Virginia Marshall, Eva Francis and
Mary Anderson, all of Anna Held s
Miss Innocence" company, were
among those present. Other actresses
were Elizabeth Stanton, Vida Whit

Reuben Donnelly came from Montana

According to all accounts the fun
became fast and furious as the din
ner progressed and champagne corks
popped The women gave terpsi-
chorean exhibitions and all the men
except Heinze Joined with them in
the dancing. Heinze just kept his
seat and laughed. The dinner began
about midnight and ended at 4

party took autos and went to ball

ONE METHOD FOR ADVERTISING
VALLEY.

s. B. Littleton reports very sue
cessful method of advertising the
valley which should appeal to the
World readers who have come here
from the east and who have neigh
bors there who would be interested
to hear of their welfare.
Mr.. Littleton was lately visited by
his father, who, after visit and q
thorough sightseeing trip over the
valley, returned to Brockton, Mass.
The return of the elder man was
announced in the paper and many
called on him for first hand infOrma-
ton about the northwest so many
in fact that the younger Mr.. Little
ton wrote a letter to his home paper
telling how, why and when he came
here and about the beauty and op-
portunities of the country, ending
with an invitation to call on him for
information.
Since then his father reports a
steady stream of visitors to his Of
flee and the editor of the paper states
the sale for that day on which the
letter appeared was the largest in
the history of the paper. So many
letters have come to the younger
man that he has been busy during
most of his office hours answering
questions regarding prices of land,
material, labor, etc Brockton is a
city of $4,000 people engaged in
shoemaking and most of the in
quirers have from $500 to $4,000 to
start west with, and there would be
no question that they would invest
Immediately on seeing our valley,
which most of them announce an in
tention of doing the coming spring.
His missionary work has been so
successful that Mr.. Littleton recon-
mends the writing of such a letter
to the home paper of any of the east
ern settlers who have found the val
ley enough to their liking to wish
to help boost. He would be pleased
TO assist anyone interested with a
copy of his letter or the use of his
typewriter at his Office on the corner
of Palouse and Wenatchee avenue.

SOMETHING ABOUT REAL TO.
BACCO.

Henry Fielding, the father of the
English novel, the author of that
naughtiest and delightfulest story,
Tom JONES'" ventured the opinion
that some slight knowledge of a
theme would not be disadvantageous
to him that would discuss it, or mat
ter of that import. The Springfield
Republican, in the following remarks
on American tobacco, discovers that
it has very imperfect acquaintance
with the subject:
1T is odd that smokers should go
to England for the finest American
tobacco. There is no better leaf in
the world than Virginia and the
neighboring states offer, but to get
it in perfection one goes not to Rich
mond, but to London. A London
manufacturer whose brands have an
international reputation explained
this the other day ON the ground that
Americans are too much in hurry
to get the best results-good tobac-
co is not made in hurry. The leaf
is left several years to ripen under
the best attainable conditions, and
the blends are made with much care,
not in the last stage, but from the
beginning. The leaves that will give
ho frn oh w.t., nrn
married long before they are cut up
by the workman. All this costs and
keeps capital locked up, which is con-
trary to American ideas, but it is
the secret, he said, to the success of
British manufacture.
There is no doubt that the best
American tobacco exported goes to
England; but there is equally little
doubt that the best American tobac-
co never leaves Kentucky, where it
is chewed and smoked by the far
mers who grow it.
Tobacco, like the turnip, demands
virgin soil to reach the highest per-
lection, ard it demands the tenderest
care to attain to highest excellence.
OF all the crops grown by the hus-
bandman it calls for the most one
rous labor 1t undergoes no less
than IA processes. from the seed to
the marketed product, all of them
requiring intellectual skill and nearly
