ALL HAIL THE FOOD TAeLETsl
No Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
No Household Drudgery.

How would you like to throw away
all your kitchen utensils and most Of
the dishes; send your -four, meats,
spices and other pantry stuff to
charitable association; turn the kitch-
en- into den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto a coy corner, and live on
nuts, fruits and food in tablet form?
It's long question and it isn't abso-
lutely new, but 1t comes in for consid-
Grafton in connection with the recent
discussion Of How to Get Rid of
Household Drudgery," says the Kan
sas City Times.
The suggestion was made in good
faith by woman who. believes in the
system. She advocates 1t without re-
gard to the fact that such a plan of
near eating" would rob life of it's
dearest privilege. that of gazing on
and devouring The luscious roasts and
broils that competent cooks prepare,
to say nothing Of potatoes mashed,
hashed or Drowned with butter and
gravy and pumpkin pie
"This is no jest" the writer of the
essay says. at has been my dream
for years. There Is only one solution
to the problems of housekeeping, only
one way TO escape the ills that come
from unwise eating. Do away with
the kitchen and pantry, live on fresh
fruits, nuts and condensed foods in
tablet form. Have a refrigerator or,
better still, cold storage room where
drinking water may be cooled and the
fruitS chilled An ornamental ior or
cabinet will hold enough tablets to
feed family for a week or more.
Think Of the time saved that might
be devoted to reading or outdoor exer-
else! And with the money saved we
could buy motor cars or electric car
riages"
Think Of the saving of time and
energy, too! No more luncheons to
put up In newspapers every morning
for the children and father. A tablet
or two in their pockets and possibly a
nut for dessert and away they go 10
the office. Can you see fathers face
when he comes home at night, tired
and cross, the children romping in
from school with cold little noses and
empty stomachs, ready to grow rap
turous over a plump, fat chicken or a
pan Of Irish stew and hot biscuits?
Can you see the faces Of the children
light up with joy when you point one
finger at the tablet Jar and go on with
your Browning or Emerson? No
dishes to wash, no scraps to throw
away-nothing 10 do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits, tablets and nuts.

A prestidigitator, In the course Of an

one Of the" audience select one card

Dear SIR
Replying to your favor of Ma y Is,

a commercial use.
In certain portions of this state the
sage brush grows six to eight feet
in height, and having a base or trunk
six to eight inches in diameter. In
mediately north of Reno and extend

one hundred miles, there is large

Money II Sage Brush

For some finn past the State Board
of Publicity and the State Engineer
Office have been endeav0ring to secure
products from the SagcbruSh in Ne
vada. says the Carson Appeal.
Over IL quarter of century ago
Thomas Edison when in Virginia City
remarked 10 some friends that the
Lord Almighty II .rcr put so much sage
brush or anything else in one place I'M
! | ,ss he meant it for some economic use.
Various attempts have been made
! III the past few years to utilize the
! S;gebrush. The late Thomas Wren
experimental with it and produced a
very fine quality of tanning oil and Mr..
=. b. Ellis of this city mascerated it
and by treating it chemically produc-
ed very excellent quality of rubber.
After some Chicago people became in
tcrested they asked for reports on the
extent of the growth of sage brush in
this state and these reports were furnish
ed by the State Engineer.
AS a result of the correspondence on
the subject company has been in
corporated in Chicago known as the
Chemical Produce Company with a
capitalization of $780, 900 fully paid up
and non assessable, with "a view to put
plants in this state for the extraction

"nstrated just what profit there is in
!lS,OOO tons of sage brush. Tho yield
from that amO1nt was 1882, 357 and the
cost of producing the commercial pro-
ducts was 100000, which gave IL net

Pr Every man who has ever been in the
west knows of the vast expanse of terri
tory covered by sagebrnsh which has
been heretofore known as valueless

@ Recently four tons of sage brush was
shipped to Evanston, Illinois, from the
invest and retort was built for the

lNcriment was made it showed the fol-
lowing results:

d train the morning after q concert.
when man sat down beside him and.
after introducing himself as All attor-

II didn't get out to your concert
last night, but I'VE heard some mighty
good things about Il. Now I'm some
thing OF musician myself and I've
thought out something that would
make an immense hit If singers would
only profit By it. Now this is en-
tirely my own idea, and want to
see what you think OF ii.
'If singers were only trained to
speak their words distinctly, SO that
people could understand what they
were singing. it would be a great inn
proyement and make them more pop

MIR Roney told him that the ~new
idea" was certainly good one, SO
good, in fact. that he mad been trying
to put 1t in practice in all his train
ing of singers for the past twenty-five
years, and that if there was any one
thing more than another in which he
was mercilessly exacting in his train

MONUMENT TO
LATE SENATOR
PETERSBURG LODGE is, LAYING
PLANS FOR ERECTION or A
MEMORIAL SOON.

Petersburg, N. D.. Dec. 25.-A
movement has been inaugurated by

by the committee:
FAT a meeting of Fridtjof Lodge No.
80, Sons of Norway, Petersburg, M.

erecting a monument for the late Sen.
M. N. Johnson was discussed, with
the result that the lodge guaranteed
the sum of 5000 toward the purcnas-
ing memorial. Senator Johnson
was a member of the Petersburg
lodge and it was agreed to be appro-
pirate that this lodge take the initia-
tive. 1t was the sense of the meet
ing that the monument be placed in
the Petersburg cemetery where the
senator lies buried.
"The lodge appointed a committee
consisting Of S. Hegstad, J. o. Enge-

THE balsam ar is the best Christmas
tree on account of its fragrance,
and the needles are finer and softer
than those of the spruce or cedar.
The spruce tree is also a favorite,
however, principally because of its
handsome, strong branches, which will
support heavier presents than other
trees.
The first thing to consider is an or
nament for the top of the tree, and this
from time immemorial has been tinsel
angel or a fairy.
Pink and white popcorn and even
cranberries make inexpensive trimmings
for those whose purses are scant
Shreds of white cotton scattered over
the tree give snowy effect. and these
can be powdered with gold or silver
dust
Odd shaped objects of candy should
decorate the branches, and wonderful
fruit made out of gilt and silver paper
will please the children.
Some people do not fasten the gifts
to the tree, but heap them beneath IL
in gilded basket.
Bags Of mosquito netting can be
made OF different colors and filled with
candy.
AS to lighting, the ordinary candles
are cheap enough and very effective,
People with electricity in their homes
use the new electric Christmas orna-
ments, and these are beautiful. Illumi-
mated Santa Clauses and snow men vie
with gorgeous fairies and still more
gorgeous fruits and flowers.
The all white Christmas tree is beau
tiful with its silver lights and boar
frost decorations. The brighter colors
however. are more pleasing to the
younger children.
When you come right down to 1t, the
gaudier and more inexpensive the orna-
ments and the more Of them there are
the better the tree looks in-what
counts for most-the eyes OF the chill
dren.

KILLED At MINOT
OSEPH WENTZ MEETS INSTANT
DEATH THURSDAY EVENING
IN LIGHT PLANT AT
MINOT.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 25.-The
remains of Joseph Wentz. who was
killed i'm Minot Thursday evening in
the electric light plant, when he re-
ceived the full voltage of the plant
through his body, arrived in Grand
Forks last evening. He was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Wentz, 7os North
Sixth street and had been employed
at Minot for some time.
While engaged at his work about
the plant, he in some manner received
the heavy charge of electricity, caus-
ing his death instantly. Henry Wentz,
a cousin, brought the body home for
burial.
The fact that his parents had just
gone to Saskatoon, Canada, for a
visit with another son, Charles Wentz.
makes the death particularly sad.
They have been notified and will
probably arrive home Sunday The
surviving brothers and sisters are
Mrs. Charles Hanson, Seattle; Mrs.
Oscar Fable, Saskatoon; Laura, Ethel,
Pearl and Bernice, residing at home;
Charles at Saskatoon and Clarence,

scHAEEER MAN IS KILLED.
Caught Under Wheels Of Wagons
Death Soon Follows.

Williston, N. D., Dec. 25.-AndreW
L. Omfordt, well known citizen OF
Schafer died at his home. His death
was caused by internal injuries re-
ceived by wagon passing over his
abdomen. Mr.. Omdordt was driving
home from this city and in going down
hill the horses got the start Of him,
in trying to get control of them he
fell to the ground directly under the
wagon and the hind wheels Of the
wagon passed over tho Body. After
this he got upon his feet, caught the
horses as they went up another hill
and drove them home, which was a
short distance from the place where
the accident happened. He then put
the horses in the barn and went into
the house and laid upon the bed. One
of the neighbor boys went into the
house and found Mr.. omdordt in a
very critical condition. DR.. Morris of
Schafer was called, but nothing could
be done for the injured man.
