WOMAN In POLITICS.

The kissing of President Taft
last week, while addressing a
woman's suffrage meeting in
Washington, D. c., was unfor-
tunate from more than one
standpoint.
That the chef executive of a
nation i'll which every woman
is treated with a greater respect
than is accorded the sex in any
other country on the globe
argues lily the possession of
the qualities that make for a
calm, wise and judicious admin
istratlon of executive affairs.
Greater is he that ruleth him.
self than he thac overcometh a
city"-or she, either. And a wo
man, or man, either, who SO far
forget themselves as to give way
to hts OF childish petulance is not
mt to be trusted with the hand
ling of = weapon as powerful for
general Ill as the ballot.
Here in Idaho we have woman
suffrage, and if it were not the
will of the majority of the male
voters of the state it could not
be so, Here in Oakley, where
every lady is a voter and every
woman is lady, such an occur
renee as that of last week in the
nations capital could not have
happened. The affair has un-
doubtedly given the national
suffrage movement = setback of
many years, and our Oakley sis
tiers and their enfranchised sex
N other suffrage states of the
union can reflect that they have
only members of their own sex
to blame for it.

Of the parties, but shall vote for can
didates only upou one. the other to be
given back and thrown in to the waste
ballot box. The purpose OF this is to
prevent for instance a democrat vot-
ny for republican candidates, or vice
versa.
Bv reason of the fact that a blank
space is left on each ballot it might
appear that 40 opening was left for
just such voting, but the law provides
that should the name of candidate
be written IN this space who is u
candidate upon another ticket, such
ballots shall not be counted. Thus
should Governor Brady be candi-
date for nomination for governor by
the republicans. and the democrats
believe that he would be a good can
didate for them tc have in opposition,
they could vote for him but sucn
votes would not count in nominating
him. The result nj gnt be announced
James Fl Brady. 10000 votes as
republican and 600 votes as dem
ocrat, but the nomination would only
be his providing no other republican
got more republican votes, because
the democratic votes wou d be-
thrown away. If he should happen
to get more such votes than any reg
ular democratic noininee he could, bv
declaring his intention in writing,
accept the democratic nomination
thus rendered him, but he would
have to run as a democratic candi-
date.

A Teacher,s Query.

Editor Social Corner:-Have been
very much interested in reading the
Social Corner" telling how they save
their nickles, dimes, dollars. etc.
Now, one would think a teacher
with a fixed. definite salary would have
no trouble in saving. yet when you
take into consideration her social OBJ
legation, expenditures for dress, books
magazines. recreation, car fare, and
many other. items unavoidable to one
holding a public position. think you
will agree with me that it is as much
a problem how to save with a teacher
as with the farmers wife, the house
keeper, the clerk, and others to whom
a penny saved is a penny earned.
have no novel or unique method of
saving. The question with me is
Ways and Means of How to Save"
Having at the beginning of the
school year taken an inventory of my
worldly possessions ECONOMY loom
last years coat, hat and dress will do
for another season 1t would seem A
simple matter to subtract from my
months salary, amount of board. laun-
dry bill. trolley fare and small sum
for luxuries. the balance to be put
aside and added to monthly until one
hundred dollars is ready for the Saw
ings Bank" Yes. but there upon hangs
a tale.
All goes well for the first two or three
months Then comes the lecture sea-
son. the new book and last but not
least the new style of hat and gown,
making ones old clothes look SO dowdy
by comparison.
Inroads are made on the portion we
so faithfully promised ourself we
would not use and the bank account
at the end of the year is so much
smaller than we anticipated.
Do hear you say. Wear your old
clothes" Do not allow yourself to be
uncomfortable because of them. For
go social recreation, and I reply, Have
I the right?'
Should be gladsto get the view point
of the daughters.
The following eggless receipt for

cups flour; cups sugar; 1 cup short

Take Care of the Children.

Editor Social Corner: Dog days are
trying weather to all, but more.
pecially to babies. Now is the time
we have to be especially careful what
our children eat and drink less they
have cholera infantum, that disease
which is so often fatal to children.
All bottles and nipples should be kept
as clean as possible and none but the
sweetest and pureSt of milk should be
given Mother should be especially
careful what child eats, as any sudden
change in their food often causes the
baby days of sickness and sometimes
his death I know it is hard to keep
milk sweet these days without ice.
Gotten a can fulD in the we'll, leaving
only enough to last part of the day in
the house, that l put, or sit in dish
of cold water to have handy for baby
and the other children OF course. L
often visit the well for more milk
although I have kept it sweet until
night most every day this summer by
keeping my milk pitcher in waters.
How often at dinner or other meals
we have to say to our children, you
you sick" when they insist on eating
mostly all greencorn or other veseta-
bles, and how real is their sorrow at
being denied. Sometimes a child, or
even grown person is suddenly taken
with vomiting and purging. Then we
take the following cure for cholera
morbus: One coffee cup of boiling
water: l 'teaspoonful of rhubarb pow
der; 1 teaspoonful of peppermint; Il
teaspoonful of saieratus; pieces of
teaspoonfuI in water every hour-for
adult, one tablespoonful every hour.
If unable to get rhubarb powder we
dig up a. piece of root and cut in pieces
and let stand in the boiling water.

PECULIAR WELL.
Just Completed for Bridgeport Com
pany-An interesting Experiment.

Local contractors have just finished
a 100000 gallon well for the Bridge
port Maileable Iron company at South
and Railroad avenues in which the
base of the well wall was built at the
top and sunk to a depth of 80 feet
under its own weight The we'll
which is for the purpose of doing away
with the purchase of city water at
meter rates, is the largest well of it's
kind ever built in New England if not
in the United States.
Many contractors and engineers
watched with much interest for the
result of the engineering feat and
some had misgivings that there was
before they had finished. But the
well is completed without a flaw IN
it's side and contains IA to Is feet of
water.
The well is hexagon in shape and is
Sc feet in circumference. At the start
a drillage of 12x12 timbers about three
feet in width was bolted together
about eight below the surface of the
ground On tope of this drillage was
laid the solid concrete until it resem-
bled gigantic collar. This collar
soon formed it's own Golfer dam and il
was sunk under its own weight as
sisted by a gang of laborers whe
worked in the center of the big ce-
mentI ring picking and shoveling at
having several thousands of pounds
added to its weight every day.
Struck Quicksand.
At a depth of about u feet the
work was FASTENED by striking quick
sand into which the shoveIers in the
pit sunk up to their middles ana
worked with ropes handy for them 70
grasp and be pulled out in case of
danger by men at the top.
At the end of the six weeks hard
pan was struck when the weight of
the concrete upon the drillage hal
reached / 100000 pounds. The hard
pan was 80 feet from the surface and
about eight feet below water.
The Malleable Iron company calls
the well a 'condensfng well as the ex-
haust pipes from its boilers will be
connected with it and other pipes
will be run into it to draw a fresh
supply of water from it into its boilers.
The concern will have on hand at all
times a supply of fresh water that
will not cost more than the expense
of building the well.

Poultry Points.

Editor Social Corner:-Years ago
began reading about poultry and found
it a scientific branch of farming, re-
quiring much experience to make it a
success, just like any other kind of
business. 1t is home study learning
one so much of the food value of grain
grass vegetables and fruits. Fresh
eggs are always in demand and a COM
fort often to furnish them for those
who are ill. Plea SAINT calls are made
by going to see those that are inter-
ested in poultry Vines can be trained
to grow upon the henhouse, producing
a pleasing effect and afford more COM
fort for the inmates. Give the chill
dren some of the chickens. or money
from the sale of eggs and have them
keep account of the number laid each
day, it will give them an idea of keep
ing home expenses. more kindness to
animals and saving mother many
steps. and developing character for
future usefulness My first twenty
five dollars was saved by keeping
poultry. Accept many thanks for the
prize of last month. Success to the

pint of vinegar, and one tablespoon
of cinnamon, one teaspoon of cloves
Cook altogether 80 minutes.
Huckleberries and Rhubarb-Eight
cups berries, four cups sugar, and four
cups rhubarb. Cooked two hours
slowly without any water being added
viii keep without sealing.
Creamed Cucumbers = Take quite
large cucumbers, may be too large to
eat raw, and peel, then slice not very
thin and simmer in just enough sailed
water to cook tender which will be in
about ten minutes; then cover with
sweet cream and let cook slowly five
minutes; add salt and pepper to taste
and serve hot. MEHITABEL.
