VEGETABLES AT THEIR BEST
Perhaps No Other Article Of Food
Can Be More Easily Spoiled
by Poor Cooking.

To have good, fresh vegetables Is
a happiness; but to know how to
cook them is a fine art The lack Of
knowledge in this behalf Is lament
able.
Vegetables should not be overgrown
to be at their best. To be properly en-
joyed, vegetables should be eaten
when quite young and before they
have attained gigantic growth. Young
and green vegetables should never be
cooked in timed saucepan, as this
will inevitably spoil the color; but If
they are cooked uncovered, with plen-
ty of boiling water. there should be no
difficulty about this.
In sailing the water, from one-half
ounce to one ounce of salt should be
allowed to the gallon of water, and in
case of peas and green vegetables
one-third this amount Of sugar should
be added, as this draws out the flavor.
In cooking cabbages and green's,
etc., the more water there is the less
will be the very disagreeable odor.
inseparable in most peoples minds
with the cooking of green's. whilst an
other remedy against this is to put a
piece OF bread tied up in q muslin
bag and boil it with the cabbage, re-
moving it at the end of 10 minutes
and burn it. When the cabbage is
cooked unless the water is to be used
as foundation for vegetable SOUPS. it
should be poured away at once.
Then, again, all vegetables that
tops, endive, cabbage or dandelion,
should be first blanched. To do this,
put the vegetables on in cold water,
bring this absolutely to the boil, then
pour OF and cover the vegetables with
fresh, absolutely boiling water. Or, il
preferred, when half cooked the water
may be strained off the vegetables.
All root vegetables when young
merely require to be well scrubbed.
and then rinSed in clean water.

vouno women. who are careless of their feet
The tendency of women to high-heeled
shoes and pumps is working disaster to their
feet and the ailments of the feet are in turn
working disaster to their nervous systems.
A shoe with the original shape well pre-
served indicates the woman with even tenn
permanent well-poised mind careful in the de-
tails of her existence and lacking Of a friv-
olous nature.
A shoe with the sole upturned in front and
the top wrinkled indicates the woman who

go-lucky sort, in either case and with proper
training may be brought to a reasonable ap-
probation of the stern realities of life. Not
that she Is frivolous, but she Is just good
sort of woman whom anyone can love.
A shoe with the top stretched, showing that
the foot within is spread out, indicates the
student woman, the kind who are society re-
porters on newspapers or who write thrilling
love tales with trend toward socialism
shoe with the sides of the sole turned up
indicates the woman whose mind turns to
amusement and who is frivolous to a degree.
She is the sort of a woman who loves firta-

the weight of public opinion was felt by
congress and an interest was aroused among
members who barely knew that there was
such an institution as the biological survey
1t might be asked what the biological sur
Vey does to benefit the country. Instances of
its service are not difficult to find The stock
raising interests of the western states suffer
losses-or rather have suffered until recently
to the amount of about s12,000,O00 yearly
through the depredations of wild animals
wolves, coyotes and cougars
Poison was the instrument employed to kill
the predatory animals. Strychnine was the
means of death and while it cost thousands
OF dollars year it was by no means effca-
c1ous The stockmen complained that the
wolves bred in the forest reserves were in
a large measure responsible for the increase
In the numbers of the ravening packs.
This argument is used to combat the forest
reserve plan of the government. Vernon w.
Bailey, of the biological survey, went west
and studied the wolf question He found that
the wolves did not breed in the forest re-
serves IN any numbers. He located their
breeding places and in his report told the
stockmen how to rid themselves of the pests
without the necessity of resorting to the
costly strychnine poisoning process. The re-
ports show that the wolf work of the survey
already has saved the stockmen many times
the amount of money that the government sup
plies yearly for the support of the survey.
In the Humboldt valley of Nevada there was
a plague of field mice An expert of the bio
logical survey was sent to the scene of trouble.
He found that in some sections of the valley
the mice averaged 5000 to the acre a number
that seems almost impossible, but the truth
of the report is verified
The mice were destroying the alfalfa which
Is grown in the valley at a rate which made
it certain that within short time the indus
try of alfalfa raising must disappear. The
crop of the year was cut short one-third by
the ravages of the mice and loss of $4,000
was entaied.
When absolute ruin of the industry was con-
fronting the alfalfa ranch owners the work of
the naturalists of the survey was begun and
it is now practically certain that the plague
of mice will disappear as did the plaques OF

OF lrrlSatlOn Tor help in checking
the damage done to bitches by bur-
rowing animals. One gopher hole
in an embankment caused loss of
$1,000 and in many places irriga-
ton was almost impossible because
of the undermining work done by
small animals. The work of the
burrowers made way for the water
which by the erosion process did
the rest. The scientists of the bio
logical survey, after experimenting,
taught the men interested in irri-
cation how to protect themselves
against the inroads of the small
beasts that work in darkness"
The scientists recently were en-
gagged in the work of checking the
depradations of the ground squir-
rels of the far west and northwest.
The annual damage that these ami
mails inflicted on growing crops was
enormous. The biological survey
worked out plan for the extermi-
nation of the squirrels, a plan that
brought success.
One of the labors of the scientists
of the survey has been to show the
different states how the full bene-
fits of game protection may be OBJ
tanned and how the game in each
state may be made to yield an i'm
portant annual revenue. Illinois
alone, as a direct result of informa-
ton received from the biological
survey, has added to it's income an
nually $125,O0O The state Of Mis-
souri, has benefited to the extent of
$4,000 and more money will come
to it if it follows more closely the
directions which it can get gratis
from the government officials.
Not one-tenth part of the good
that the biological survey has done
and is doing has been set down
here The survey needs more mon
ey to carry on its field work. Ev-
cry dollar spent means dollars re-
turned to the people and yet it was
hard work to induce congress to
grant the additional sum of $4,000
which the scientists asked that
they might enlarge the field OF
their good work.

WOULD HAVE COURT TERMS
AT SPOONER-BAUDETTE
Bill Has Been Prepared for Introduction in the Legisa-
ture Giving Terms District Court to Northern
Towns Under Certain Conditions.

Of late there has been consider
able agitation on the part of the
residents of the extreme northern
portion Of Beltrami county relative
to the proposition of arranging for
the holding of terms of court at
Spooner and Baudette, with the re.
suit that consultations have been
held between the attorneys of
Spooner and Baudette, Judge Stan
ton, County Attorney McKusick
and Clerk of Court Rhoda relative
to the introduction of bill in the
legislature providing for such terms.
A bill has been drawn which has
been favorably considered by the
local judge and the other parties
mentioned, and which Judge Stan
ton has submitted to Judges Nc
Clenahan and Wright. The bill is
as follows:
A bill for an act to provide for
holding terms of the district court of
the Fifteenth Judicial district in and
for the County of Beltrami at the
Village of Baudette, in said county,
and for adjoining said terms to the
Village of Spooner, in said county,
in certain cases.

provided, one or more terms of the
district court shall be held during
each year in the Village of Baudette,
in the County of Beltrami. The
time and place of holding such terms
Of court shall be fixed by the order

would tend strongly to prove Nelson
as being the man who shot Fuller.
The defendant had murder in his
heart that night, said Mr.. McKusick.
and he was bound to kill someone.
Mr.. McKusick said that the evil
dence would show that Nelson had
in his possession that night big
gun of peculiar make and that the
defendant often referred to it as the
protector Of the money he had in his
possession. Also, that the defend
ant had left the saloon of w. E..
Hyatt but a few moments before
the tragedy occurred, just sufficient
time to have allowed him to have
walked past Fuller and Brown and
returned with them as far as to have
done the shooting.
Archie Brown, who was in the
company of Morris Fuller all the
the night of the tragedy, was the
first witness called by the state.
His testimony was the same, practi-
cally, as he gave at the coroner's
inquest, he telling how he had been
drinking all night with Fuller and
how they visited the sporting house
twice that night, finally leaving for
their camp, and starting to return
when they met the stranger, who
walked ahead of them, and who,
according to Brown, turned and shot
Fuller when the latter asked the
stranger who he was and tapped him
on the shoulder.
Browns testimony as to the iden.
tity of the stranger who did the
shooting was very vague, he saying
that all he could remember of the
man was that he wore broad.
