Sverdrup's old camps. The reason we utilized silk tents on some occasions was that we were so exhausted that we had not strength to build a snow shed. We had carefully figured and planned every thing, so that there was no surplus weight to carry. We did not run short except when we went astray.
 During the expedition we ate all kinds of meat like musk OK best but we would eat bear or fox if the other was not obtainable Everything tastes good when one is starving. We brought ten dogs back with us the others having been eaten by their companions. We used the lasso, traps and bows and arrows to catch game.

FULLER BILL IN
 ANOTHER PHASE
REAL ESTATE AGENT FINDS HIM SELF HELD LIABLE FOR PROHl- BITIoN VIOLATIONS OF TEN ANTS OF HIS PROPERTY.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: I have just received the enclosed epistle from the sheriff of Jefferson county, which causes me great alarm and puts me to thinking for myself and friends who happen to own property in Birming ham.
 I do not own nor am I agent for the owner of the property referred to in this letter from Sheriff Higdon. But, what about my other pieces of property that rent to people for whom I cannot vouch? Is 1t possible that the Fuller bill enforces a penalty on the property owner or agent of property because some tenant may vio- late the liquor law? If this is true man can i'll afford to rent property to any other than the officials of the law or to the members of the Law and Order league.
 Seriously, I would like to have some- one discuss this phase of the Fuller bill and advise property owners what to do to escape the pen. Respectfully,
 T. H. MoLToN. Birmingham, September 4, 1909.
 The following accompanies MT. Notions letter.
 MT. r. H. Motion, Agent, City:

 Any illegal disposition made after the receipt of this notice will be also charged against you as the owner or agent, and arrest and prosecution therefor will be made promptly. Yours truly,

New Corsets Are Soon to be Considered

We are waiting with the late models of corsets-so many makes of them! This is said just as an answer to inquiries. Women remembering that "perfect fitting corsets make more perfect figures" never think now of buying a new suit or gown without first getting the proper corset. The great majority of them know, too, that our corsetieres render them every help in selection and that fully and gladly.

SPEED IN THE AIR.

The average traveller cannot go fast enough. and it is more than probable that the 1S-hour express from New York to Chicago and the new 24- hour flyer from New York to St. Louis are still regarded as slow coaches by many people. The air nayigators have begun business at rate of nearly a mile a minute, and how fast they will eventually go remains to be demon strated.
 The Wright brothers are doing more than their share in smashing records. and Wilbur Wright has just made the unprecedented speed of 45.s2 miles an hour at College park, break ing the worlds record over closed course.
 What is even more important, Will bur Wright asserts that with the power plant now installed in the ma chine he is using he can make an aeroplane which will travel sixty to seventy miles an hour, or a mile a minute and better.
 As Wilbur Wright has never been guilty of making extravagant claims, a statement like this from him has weight. It is apparent enough that the speed of the bird is eventually to be the speed of the flying men.

THE RIGHT POLICY.

Tlfe citizens pursued the right policy at the adjourned town meeting on Tuesday evening. The way to i'm prove the financial conditions of the town is to meet the expenses and to keep the public debt down by not all lowing the floating debt to run until 1t is easy and convenient to add it to the bonded indebtedness The radical policy of MT. Tarrant was right. for that would have saved years inter est, and the increase of the tax by a mill and half more than was rec commended has saved half the interest on the s30,00 owed the bank, which is the best kind of economy.
 It looks funny to see the Otis libra ry appropriation, after fifteen years of steady approval by the taxpayers, drifting about like a temporary ex- pense when the citizens have actually come to regard it as permanent and a necessity. The first selectmen to dignity this appropriation as a reg ular estimate will win proportionate distinction, and we hope this distinc- ton will fall to the lot of First Se- lectman Lillfbrldge.
 It was not to be expected that the taxpayers would favor free books and school supplies, and it will be many years before they will, because 1t will put double tax upou large part of our citizens.

MAKING UP VELVET.

Velvet is to be such good material for the winter that some points tow ard it's manufacture into the afternoon costume should be understood.
 It is highly necessary to avoid handling the half made gown, whether it be velvet or velveteen. There is a certainty which counts for much in the result.
 To acquire this certainty it is ad- visable to make perfectly fitted model of your velvet gown or suit in canton flannel, to rip it and use 1t as pattern and thus to save an excess of handling in the fitting of the velvet.
 Filming is great source of diff culty, each pin leaving it's mark upon the nap of the velvet. Only round headed black pins should be used for what fitting remains after this cautious beginning
 Blasting requires care, because the threads, when drawn too tightly, will press a line into the surface. They should be removed only after clipping each stitch, so that there will be no long pull to cause this defect.
 The pressing Of velvet being quite out of the question, a substitute is de- manded to replace the flatiron. The kitchen poker is one very ordinary weapon. A long velvet seam, turned with it's wrong side up, is first pinned by it's one end to heavy ironing board and then held in midair, and the point of the slightly heated poker is run evenly along the line of sewing, just sufficiently to press the seam apart.
 It is quite inconceivable that any one, not knowing these slight first helps, would undertake the making of velvet.

NOT ALONE IN BEING SLOW.

Maine is not the only state in the union that has been well-advised but failed to act for a half-century after wards. a
 The Lewiston Journal rises to re- mark apropos the conservation of Maine's waterpower. that the work to that end now in progress was sug- gested by Governor Chamberlain in his annual message of 1862 Probably he was not even then the actual pio- neer of the conservation movement, for many men had seen and some may have said that there was great waste of waterpower to prevent which the state to interpose its authority by legislation. That his activity forty years ago in promoting conservation should be so near forgotten in his own state that it needs to be remind ed by the press to do him honor" says the Boston Transcript, lis a cir cumstance that simply shows that Governor Chamberlain is no excep- tion to the rule that the last worker is apt 10 gather in the applause be- longing to the first thinker A schol- ar in politics, one of those college pro- fessors who put of the gown to buckle on the sword. it might be expected of Governor and General Chamberlain that he should think ahead of his time and to the point"
 If communities moved when the wisest man brought out commendable plans, human progress would be very much more rapid than it is. The wis dom is not lacking, but it needs action to carry it to practical achievements.

COOKING CEREALS.

Few people cook their cereals long enough.
 As served in many families. the ce- real is thick, lurnpy, and, if the truth were known. indigestible.
 It is made too thick in the begin ming, because time is not allowed for 1t to cook long enough to become so.
 Oatmeal is most sinned against in this respect.
 It should be cooked for four hours at least. longer If possible.
 It is really best if cooked over night, and in many careful families this Is done.
 Put it on the back of the stove at night, then the first thing in the morn ing draw it over the hotter part and let it finish cooking
 This is difficult to manage where gas stoves are used
 It would be impossibly extravagant to leave gas jet turned on for the whole night.
 The best solution of the difficulty Is ffreless cooker.
 These are growing to be more and more used. and are eminently useful and practical for such purposes.

 WHAT IS THE MATTERf

When a crisis like the present in town affairs occurs, some one is sure to say that we need honest citizens in public office when we only really need live citizens in every walk of life.
 Why should we blame public off, cials for violating the law when we simply sit and grumble when they do 1t instead of moving to make them pay the penalty for their indiscretion? ? There is law enough now to prevent the exceeding of appropriations, and had there been such live public sen timent here against it as the law im- plies, the first offender would have been sent to fail. and every succeed ing one, and. then those accused of this offence could not point back to the record of the successive city ad- authorizations since this law was first made and show that all parties have Tbeen guilty and that the amount ex- pended from time to time in excess of appropriations has been above a quarter of million, and no one has been prosecuted or made aware that the combined body of taxpayers have any punitive force whatever.
 It is not surprising that bold serv- ant of the people, forewarned of the law, now and then exclaims, Who's afraid!" The servant of the people has no more reason to be afraid to violate this ordinance than the garden robber has to be of dog that will neither bark nor bite.
 It should be a penalized offence for first selectmen of towns and mayors of cities to hide up the floating in- debtedness from the people, and to win public favor and a continuance of power by gross misrepresentation or false pretence.
 We may need men of more probity, but VIC do not need them half as much as we need citizens of more active energy sn public affairs. When we have a live citizenship those in authority will be afraid to violate laws which have been provided with teeth, which, through our own neglect, have come to look like displayed false set.
 The people are the regulators and it is up to them to regulate.

THERE MAY BE A DEFICIT.

It appears to be conceded that there may be a deficit of a few millions at the close of the present governmental fiscal year; but the change has been so decided for the better that there seems to be chance for a balance on the right side of the ledger, if the Panama canal expense is made a part of the public debt and set off by itself as an extraordinary expense for permanent improvement.
 There has not been a year since 1901 when July and August did not show a deficit. With the opening of the fiscal year, disbursing officers open new accounts and are granted working balances, which serve them to some extent throughout. the year. The re- suit is that the average monthly ex- aenditures for July and August exceed the averages for the remaining ten months by from s1O,OOO,0O0 to st2,OOO,- 900.
 The facts regarding the present fis- cal year, of which about three months and one week have been accounted for. indicate that there may be a small excess of ordinary expenditures over ordinary receipts under old laws. but that this will be completely covered by the proceeds of the corporation tax fl the latte- can be collected before July 1. The deficit in ordinary re- ceipts at the close of August was S20.513,125 for the current year. as compared with $25,s35.255 in 1908, or a difference of approximately s5,100,- 900 in favor of the current year. Dur ing the succeeding five weeks up to October z, the deficit for the current year increased to $22,239,47O, while the corresponding period of last year showed deficit of s29,491,56S.
 If the deficit for the complete year should amount to about O,O00, ,000, it will be just about equal to the con- servative calculation of the proceeds of the corporation tax.
 A financial writer, upon this sub Ject. says:
 Upon survey of the entire situa- ton, therefore, the treasury appears to be in A very healthy condition ex- cept for the heavy demands for the construction of the Panama canal This is work which is of a perfna- nent character and may. therefore. be legitlmately made part of the fund.- ~A debt.
