Hard to Get in the HomeWard Rush.

London.-The home-bound stream of Americans increases daily. Steam ships departing westward are packed with occupants for every berth. Late corners find even that money will not buy accommodations now. It is sim ply a case of come early and run your chance
 As a result London is crowded as it was earl yin the season. The restau- rants are full of live Americans, brimming over with holiday festivity.
 To sum it up in the words of gouty old colonel in Romano's the oth CT day: These dashed yankees seem to go everywhere nowadays. Bless me, ten years ago we looked upon them heah as curiosities; now, dam init, they look upon us as curiosities.

 Baylor noticed the bird, its wings measuring six feet two inches from tip to tip, lowering over the chicken yard. He succeeded in shooting it through the right wing, and then started forward for the capture. The plucky bird, with broken wing drag ging behind, advanced to meet him.

Thirty-five Million Barrels of
 Fruit This Year.
United States and Canada Combined Will Produce About Twelve Mil lion Barrels More in 1909 Than
 in Preceding Year.

Spokane. Wash.-Thirty-fiv million barrels, or 12,000,O00 barrels more than in 1908, is the estimated apple crop of the United States and Canada this season, according to Ren H. Rice, secretary manager of the second na- tional apple show in Spokane, Novem- Der 15 to 20 who added:
 While the quality of the product east of the Mississippi river is not as good as last year, the crop will be much larger and probably more profit able. The yield in the states west of the Mississippi is lighter than in 1908, but the fruit is of a better grade
 The International Apple Shippers association has issued an official state ment that the crop in the New Eng land states is 20 per cent in excess of 1908, while the yield in the central states is about 71a per cent. below last year, and the middle western states report a crop double that of last season, when the yield was light.
 Growers in the southern states re- port crop from 125 to 150 per cent. larger than in 1908. The Pacific group will have a smaller crop than last year, but the decreases in Idaho, Washington and New Mexico are more than made up by the big yield in Colorado, so that the western crop will be fully as large as the previous season.
 Losses are shown in reports from New York, New Hampshire, Kansas and Oklahoma, Michigan, Wisconsin, and other states have gains. The Do- minion of Canada, not including Nova Scotia, shows gain of 75 per cent, so the crop in the province of Nova Sco- tia is fully as large as in 1908, when bumper crop was harvested.
 While there is no way by which the crop can be figured to a certain ty," said MT. Rice, the foregoing figures show as near as it is possible to get what the yield will be, and they will govern prices. There are indi- cations that the export business from the northwest will be larger than in 1908, when many apples were sent abroad"
 There are many less apples raised in the United States today than there were 15 years ago, and we are export ing more of them. In 1895 we pro. duced 60,000,000 barrels and in 1908 23.00O, 900 barrels of apples. In 1902 we exported 2.S0O,000 bushels of ap- ples; in 1907, 7,SO000O bushels.

CHILDREN SHOWED IT Effect of Their Warm Drink in the
 Morning.

A year ago l was wreck from of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness.
 'I was telling a friend about it and she said, We drink nothing at meal time but Postum, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children
 T was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the 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 a fact.
 My first trial was failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so flat that l was in despair but determined to give it one more trial This time we followed the direc- tions and boiled it fifteen minutes aft CT the boiling began. It was decided success and l was completely won by its rich delicious favour. In short time noticed decided improvement in my condition and kept growing bet. | ter month after month, until now l am perfectly healthy. and do my work n the school room with ease and pleas. ure. l would not return 70 the nerve destroying regular coffee for any money"

PROTECT MOTHERS, IS PLEA
Cincinnati Women lndite Open Letter to President Urging Punishment
 to Deserters.

Cincinnati-The sub-joined open letter to President Taft was adopted unanimously as the sense of the Su- san B. Anthony club, composed of rep resentative Cincinnati women. Dr. Sarah NJ. Siewers, president of the club, was authorized to sign 1t and forward it to MT. Taft
 ITO Hon. William H. Taft, Presi dent of the United States: Out of the din raised by multitude of voices against the women of our country for race suicide, for going into industrial and professional pursuits, instead of marrying and rearing large families, as their grandmothers did I wish to raise one voice for federal law that will protect mothers and children and compel truant fathers to help support their children
 "Deserters of families of children should be pursued and punished as diligently as deserters from the army and navy AS the laws now stand, a decree for support given to the mother of children can be evaded by the father going to another state to live.
 Tn Cincinnati the Humane society reported 2,700 deserting fathers in II months up to December 1. In Chicago 1,500 men deserted their families in three months on the West side alone The humane societies of other cities could no doubt report similar numbers of deserters.
 What becomes of these men? Do they become homeless tramps? Not they. They go to another state and pass themselves off for single men and marry some unwary girl.
 These cases are symptoms of na- tional disease that must be stamped out if the integrity of the nation Is to be preserved
 Urging women to marry while 1 marriage and maternity receive no more protection than our present laws afford is futile, for now women can support themselves and need not marry for home.
 Mothers should have a voice in lawmaking. or they and their children 1 should be protected in their right to survive honGrably."

INSISTS ON LEGAL MARRIAGE
Japanese Woman Persists in Cere' mony So She May Enjoy the
 American Luxury.

Los. Angeles, Cal.-Although her matrimonial knot was tied by Shin to priest six months ago, Mrs. Kuni- gola Mikayawa, tiny Japanese wem- an, learned that the neglect of her husband to procure a marriage license and have a justice of the peace or a clergyman officiate, rendered the cere- mony of such little value that she could not enjoy the American luxury of divorce if she wanted to. So she made inquiry of the clerk of the mar. riage license bureau.
 Am l married-yes, or not?" she inquired.
 Not" said the clerk.
 And divorce-I could not enjoy that now?"
 No"
 Forthwith she made Mikayawa pro cure a license. Then a justice tied another knot that Mrs. Mikayawa may have cut American fashion if she cares to.

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 ohe contributed materially to a GU linary reform of which the present generation is enjoying the benefit ad mfts of no question. Miss Parloa was one of the first to apply scientific meth ods to cooking and to instill the prin. cirles of domestic economy in Amer ican 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 un- 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 tion with many kinds of hot breads and meats. More intelligence is put into the preparation of food for the table. The housewifes efforts are now concentrated on dinner, the postpone ment of which to the end of the day has been gain for digestion

will be held at Spokane, the heart of the northwestern fruit country, prob abyf in November or December, and it will be open to the world. Apples from everywhere will be on exhibition and it will not only be an educational and inspiratonal sight, but will af ford an opportunity to compare the eastern, southern and western apples that will be an untold value to horti culture.
 At the 1908 show there was $35, 900 in premiums awarded and there were more than 100000 paid admissions to the show. The best carload exhibit of apples obtained a cash premium of s1 900 and was sold to firm in Liver pool. This carload of apples was from Wenatchee, Wash, and contained 630 boxes, or 50,000 apples, and scored 96A points out of a possible 100. The other day a man in the Wenatchee country refused s4,000 an acre for his five-acre apple orchard Like instances of these great prices are found in the Yakima, Lewiston Clarkston, Walla Walla, Bitterroot and other fruit sec tions. The Washington, Oregon, Ida ho. British Columbia and Montana country is a natural fruit region for other fruits than apples. Cherries in Lewiston Clarkson this year are as large as plums.
 The value of the fruit crop in the Inland Empire" of the first three named states in 1908 was $14,000,000 The state of Washington alone has 100000 acres in orchards, most of them young and not yet bearing.

CROPS AND COST OF LIVING.

Predictions of cheaper living, based upon ample crops, must be taken with some caution. We are not confronted by the problem of two-dollar wheat, which MT. Patten probably did not ex. pect when he was predicting it last spring. His prediction served his purpose admirably. Instead of ship ping wheat into Chicago and breaking the May market-the sort of thing that has broken nearly every predecessor of Mir Pattens "bull' operations-th farmers held on to their wheat and waited for that two-dollar quotation, says the Philadelphia Record. The harvest began less than month after the May option closed. and we now have every assurance that the wheat crop will exceed 700,000,000 bushels, and may reach 725,000,000 bushels. Wheat is selling in Chicago for less than dollar. Food ought to be, and probably will be, cheaper than it has been lately. But cotton and wool are high and textile prices show no dis position to recede. Most of the prices are rising. Structural steel is not a commodity that the average citizen purchases, but he is affected by it's price; and all steel prices are up. Hides are on the free list, but the shoe stores and factories are stocked up with goods purchased before the repeal of the hide duty, and prices are not yet coming down. The most i'm portant item of expense is rent, and with the growth of population that tends upward, but the extensive build | ing operations all over the country may keep abreast of the demand.

The French minister of justice has sent orders to the district attorneys throughout France to prosecute vigor. ously the cases of cruelty to domestic animals. He adds that the prevalence of this evil is distressing and that it is largely caused by the indiffer- ence of the authorities. If officials would heartily co-operated with the anti-cruelty societies here our own streets might be saved some revolting revelations of brutality.
