SILVER FERN DISH
is PRACTICAL AND PRETTY CEN
TERPIECE.
Expensive to Buy, But by No Means
Hard to Make at Home,
and Is Not at All
Costly.

A fern, either the maiden hair or
asparagus variety, is one of the pretti-
est centerpieces for a table, and it is
highly practical as well, for it may be
used at any meal-or it may be left
on the table all the time, for that mat
ter, as it lends a pretty touch to the
room. A silver dish in which to place
the plant gives rather a distinctive air
to the table. A dish of this sort would
be expensive to buy, but any woman
or girl may make one with little work
and very small cost No previous ex-
perience in metal work is necessary.
The fern dish is made of German
silver which comes at so cents a
pound. Fourteen inches of No. 81 are
required. The construction is very
simple, there being merely square
eight-inch bottom with two-inch sides,
and half-inch flap to turn over. First,
polish the silver on both sides. Pen
Gil marks will be easily seen when
the metal is bright. To mark out the
shape, follow the diagram with it's
dimensions very carefully.
If one is exact in their measure
ments, there will be no difficulty at
all in ruling off the square with it's
sides. Then draw on the little flaps
and mark for the holes One motive
is given in the exact size, and this is
to be traced with carbon paper twice
on each side, making eight motifs in
all. Next place the piece of silver on
fiat wooden board of rather soft
fiber, and outline the design with
stippling tool. Then fill in the back

Feed for EuII Flow of MILK.

Cottonseed meal, f1axseed meal,
shoots, bran or other feeds rich in pro
TEN are necessary for a full flow OF
milk. Glover or alfalfa hay are rough
feeds rich in protein. Corn, rich IN
starch, produces heat, energy and fat
but little milk. Silage and greer
roots furnish water and are good appe
Tiers and promoters of general health
for winter feeding. Bran and faxseeC
meal are good bowel regulators.

If there were any need of evidence
going to prove that dealers in articles
of food are careless as to the public
health, such evidence would be found
in notice of judgment issued by the
department of agriculture in relation
to the adulteration of coffee by coating
it with lead chromate. The notice de-
clares that the seizure of coffee under
comment was valid under section 10 of
the food and drugs act of June 80,
1906, because the beans are coated
with lead chromate, poisonous and
deleterious substance which conceals
inferiority. Here is dealer who in
order to sell an inferior grade of cot
fee DISCUSSES it with poisonous ma
terial and doubles his offending. There
ought to be punishment for those who
thus toy with the public health, in adj
dition to mere seizure of the poisoned
merchandise.

An Innnrovised Cabinet,

A young woman recently utilized
narrow space in her dining room, be
tween a door and window, in a way
that was both artistic and useful. She
had long strip of wood finished to
match the woodwork of the room
nailed to the wall from the picture
moulding to the floor.
The strip was about eight inches
wide, and occupied the middle of the
wall space. On it were put at irregu-
lar intervals small brass hooks, such
as are used in china closets. On these
were hung pitchers of every descrip
ton, the owner being a collector.

Use Hand Separator for Good Butter

By the use of the hand separator it
is possible to make the highest grade
of butter at home, providing the
cream is properly handled and
churned By the use of the separator
you are not only able to make high
er grade of butter and will sell it for
a higher price, but you will be able
to extract more cream from the milk
and hence make more butter. Also,
the warm sweet milk will have a high
er food value either for human use
or for animal feeding. If you keep
more than three or four COWS by all
means buy separator. 1t will soon
pay for itself.

they are better able to judge of the

Bobbie Lowe Leaves City After
Making Definite Offer for

DELIVERED AT END OF YEAR
Like Three Requests for a Price, Il
Awaits Return of President
Van Calder.

Tigers, left the city last evening after
submitting a definite figure for the
purchase of Pitcher George Hardins
Lowe has followed the team since the
last game in Dubuque and has seen
Hardin work three times. He remain.
ed in this city nearly week in order
to get his third chance to see him in
action, and the steady game which
Hardin twirled yesterday had much
to do with the offer made.
Up to last evening three requests
for price on Hardin had been receiV-
ed by the local association, one from
the Boston Nationals, whose manager,
Frank Bowerman, watched Hardin
work in Springfield, one from Connie
Mack, manager of the Philadelphia
Americans, and another from Manager
Bresnahan of the st. Louis Cardinals.
None of these men were willing to
come out with a statement of how
much they would give for the young
twirler, but all of them appeared pref
ty anxious to get him.
Makes Offer After Game.
Lowe sized him up yesterday as a
conner and at once made an offer
which it is animated is between
$4,000 and 5. 500 for his delivery
at the close of The season. He also
asked for an option on Hardin but
neither his offer nor the option were
acted upon on account of the alb
Sence of President f. o. Van Calder
of the club whose sanction is wanted
before deal is closed.
1t was expected by a number of
| those on the inside that Lowe would
also make some kind of an offer on
at least one other of the Islanders
but this did not materialize. Lowe
| having decided that Hardin was the
| only one whom he would try to buy
| at. this time. He is immensely pleas
ed with the showing made by Christy
Wilson in the two games which he

it is more than likely that he too
will go up at the end of the year.

The racing machine was met at

that thronged the business streets.
At the exposition grounds an i'm

Scott will reap a golden harvest

Pitcher Hardin earned "a box OF

against The Argus sign yesterday.
Vogel got to first base three times
out of four yesterday without making
a hit. Looking them over carefully is
something that worries the pitcher and
at the same time keeps the batting
average up.
Mclean drove three hard ones through
the infield between second and first
Only one of them was touched, and as
luck would have it, that one was tag
ged for three sacks as it was headed
right down the foul line.
Berger earned one of his errors af
ter making a beautiful stop in the
eighth inning. Noyacek rolled one be
tween short and third, just out of Kel
leys reach, and it took a heroic effort
on Joe's part to head it Off He did
so, however, and then proceeded to
throw the ball into the ground in front

The general conduct of the Bloom
ington team is in great contrast with
that of the team that hailed from that

ton of Snyder's bluff on base cutting
yesterday that cost him his place fol

conduct of the Boomers that anyone
could take exception to.
Hardin's three-sacker was a peach
1t was a high ball which looked al
first as though Long in center field
could gather it in easily. The drive
had all kinds of power behind it
though, and the ball sailed on and or

Snyder hated to see that first run

The Islanders strapped themselves
70 the top of the heap yesterday after
noon by taking the Boomers into
camp while Springfield was getting
drubbed twice by our friends at Du-
buque This makes the third time the
locals have climbed to the head of the
column, and it is Manager Tighe's
earnest hope that it will not be neces-
sary to repeat the performance. The
Islanders regained their batting eyes
yesterday, and the result was fatal to
the budding hopes of the Boomer fans
that their team would clean us for
three out of four games. Hardin was
used against the visitors. and he had
them at his mercy practically all the
time, with the exception of the fourth
inning, when they managed to squeeze
two hits through the infield just out
of reach of the outstretched hands of
Berger and Kelley, and one run was
scored as a result of the two bingles,
coupled with sacrifice hit
,Cutshaw, who has been doing large
share of the visitors hitting in the
series just completed, secured the first
hit. Merchoir sacrificed and he scored
on short hit in left field McBride's
throw home was too far to one side to
allow Eng to touch the runner. This
was the only time the visitors could
score. although they had men on
bases several times, on which occa-
sions Hardin was invincible.
Hardin Breaks 1t Up.
The Islanders commenced their run
getting i'll the second inning, and it
was Hardin himself who started the
team off on the right foot. Vogel was
on first as the result of a pass and
two were out, when Hardin stepped up
to the plate. He punched out a long
fly which came within an ace of hit
ting the back fence before it touched
the ground. The poke was good for
three sacks and Vogel scored easily.
With Hardin's example fresh in their
minds, Murphy, Mclean and Mcbride
poled safe ones in the fifth round, and
two more scores resulted. 1t looked
as though we were due for more than
one, but double play with three men
on the bases retired the side. In each
of the next two innings hits resulted
in runs being added to the total. Eng,
Berger and Mclean secured hits in the
sixth, Hardin aided in the good work
with a pretty sacrifice, and Murphy
drove out a long sacrifice fly on which
Eng scored. The hits made by Berger
and Mclean were wasted In the sew
enth McBride's second double, Kelley's
sacrifice and Stark's single scored the
fifth and last run of the game. The
score:
