"soNE AGE" ON THE PRAlRlES.
How Many Settlers Lived While Get
ting Their Claims.

The pioneers of Kansas will never
forget the buffalo bone age" When
central and southwestern Kansas
were settled the prairie was strewn
with buffalo bones. Those were hard
times in Kansas and the gathering Of
these bones enabled the early set
tiers to live while they were getting
their claims broken out for the pro
ducing of crops.
Nine-tenths of the pioneers OF that
section of Kansas-and there weren't
very many at that-had literally
nothing but a team and few house
hold goods that they hadrhauled from
the East in a single wagon. or course
there were no buffalo, for this was in
the late 70s. but their bones strewed
the plains, and these bones were the
only thing that had a commercial
value and they were utilized. They
were hauled in great wagonloads to
the nearest railway, often from sixty
to one hundred miles away, and sold.
The horns were the more valuable
and they went first. but the rest OF the
skeleton soon followed. There were
no fortunes made by these early bone
hunters, for large load of buffalo
bones brought only from 80 to SS at
the railroad towns. but the proceeds
from a load enabled the settler to buy
a little -four, coffee and occasionally
meat and lumber.

of almost sixty feet. The father
weighs 215 pounds and is feet 2 IL

pounds and is feet 5 inches tall.
The first son, 6 feet 1-2 inches tall,
age 81 years; second son, 6 feet 4
inches, age 10 years. The head Of
this proud family is Herman Book

fact that in that city four members
of one family are taller than any four
members of the Bockman family. w.
A. Talmage is 6 feet 4 1-2 inches tall;
Earl Talmage, age Is years, is feet

10 years, is feet IA inches tall,
and Nathan, the youngest, who Is only

PRESERVING FOOD
Much to Be Said Of Meats Cured ty
Salt and Smoke.

For some time past the public taste
has been gradually growing in favor
OF mild.cured articles. with the result
that at the present moment stronG
salted or smoked foods are not in evi-
dence as they used to be, and are rare
ly called for. The ham and the bacon
must be mild cured, and even butter
must be fresh and absolutely without
a salt flavor.
This preference for the so-cal,cl
mild-cured article has undoubtedij
furnished an excuse on the part of the
caterers for the use of stronger anti
septics, salt and smoke, and antiser.
ties which are, comparatively srCaf'
ing, tasteless. or. at any rate, wh'ca
add no special flavor to the food. The
od-fashioned antiseptics-sa and
smoke-are thus sharply distinguish
ed from modern antiseptics, inasmlch
as the former not only preserved food.
but also served as condiments. In toe
case, however, of certain preserved
foods, although the salt may be lef!
out. the smoke must be retained, 1s
otherwise the food loses its indiyidu'
ality. The kipper, for example, Is in
separable from the smoky flavor, as Is
also dried haddock or dried salmon
We have heard that smoke es-
sence" is employed to impart the
kind of palatability associated with
properly smoked food, but such prac.
tice, coupled with the use of antiscp-
tics, would really account for the re-
grettable fact that cured articles of
diet are not now up to their former
standard.
Assuming that the mild-cured arti-
cle-and as a particular example we
choose butter. because it is an in.
dispensable article of the dietary-is
free from Objectionable antiseptics, it
is still left more helpless against the
attacks of micro-organisms than were
the old-fashioned cured foodstuffs.
Experiments have, in fact, shown
that the addition of salt to butter is
a factor of great Importance from the
point Of view OF germs. In unsalted
butter the growth of heterogeneous
| is more vigorous and continues for a
! longer time than is the case with salt
ed butter. Mycellal fungi, if present,
disappear entirely after a while in
salted butter, while in fresh or un-
salted butter they multiply rapidly.
The quality OF butter appears to be
| improved by small percentage OF
salt (say 2.5); it encourages the de-
velopment OF favor, which makes but
ter an attractive article of food, and
| it acts as safeguard.
Altogether there would appear to be
certain valid reasons for thinking that
the public preference for the mild
cured article may be an error of judg-
ment, and there certainly is much to
be said in favor of the old policy OF
preserving foods by salt and smoke

"These shoes were made by Tolstoi,

cowhides, with hob nails. The
speaker, who was a famous manufac-
turer of shoes, went on:

Furthermore, found that he would
have been incapable of turning out

of the peasant was all Tolstoi was
equal to, and, although he labored
fiercely-for he wanted, of course,

OF course. A press dispatch
says that the New Jersey State
Association of Enbalmers have
resolved that there shall be no
more burials al sea. The practice
they say. is relic of barbarism.
They propose to have an em-
balmer on each of the ocean liners
to scientifically care for" bodies
of all dying at sea. The under
taker trust has us grabbed on
land and now it is reaching out
for the sea. The fact is that en-
balming or otherwise preserving
the bodies OF the dead is a relic
of barbarism. Modern thought
seeks to preserve the living and
to provide safe. sanitary method
of disposing of bodies of the
dead. A modern funeral bank
rupts the relatives of anybody
oying in moderate circumstances
A poor man can't afford to die
unless he can sneak away where
his body can not be found and
identified. The potter's field is a
bugaboo which robs many a

child of its last crust. Let us have
done with it.

A New Insight
Into Interest Taking

Whenever you get dollar without
producing the equivalent therefor
somebody must produce the equiva-
lent. Except in those rare cases OF
voluntary donation, the producer OF
wealth who parts with it for less
than it's exact value Is robbed.
The robbery is usually perpetrated
according to law by means OF rents,
profit or interest. II we attempt to
live without taking profit or increase
in some form, we go broke; for in every
transaction the other fellow tries to
get the best OF us and we must there
fore do the same with him and take
"all the traffic will bear" according
to law.
"For the manner in which men
now live is SO different from the man.
ner in which men ought to live that
he who deviates from the common
course and endeayors always to act
as duty dictates necessarily insures
his own destruction"
People who are opposed to this
wicked system OF robbery according
to law vote the Socialist ticket as
soon as they acquire sufficient intel
ligence.
Those who are well satisfied with
the worship of Mammon now uni
versal in the business world refuse
to aid the Socialist cause in any
way.
Since we desire to acquire wealth
without the trouble and toll Of pro-
duction the most approved way Of
robbing the worker is by means Of
corporations.
"a corporation has no soul to be
lost and no body to be kicked" hence
we can take the profits and be
blameless.
The Cedar Canal & Reservoir CON-
