Peas on Toast.

To prepare peas nicely for service
on toast is one of the simplest meth
DDS Of cooking them. Take a can Of
peas and after heating them drain off
little OF the liquor and season the
balance with butter, pepper and salt.
At the last moment before serving
add little rich cream, pour over thin
slices Of buttered toast and sprinkle
lightly with paprika. This dish is
quite as attractive as 1t is tasty and
easy to prepare for a luncheon course.

CLOSING OF TYPEWRITER
DESK DESTROYS SIGHT
Fright and Nervous Shock Caused In
slant and Total Blindness For a
Time, But Eyesisht is Apparently
Being Gradually Restored-other
News From Over the State.

Mason City, Feb. 7-As result of
sudden fright from swiftly closing
typewriter desk in an office in Minne-
apolis, where she was employed, Miss
Christine Garfield, 81 years old, a stem
ographer, formerly of this city has
been nearly totally blind for over a
week and medical knowledge of the
Twin Cities has failed to restore the
young woman's vision.
DR.. w. A. Angel. who is now at
Of her mother, 500 Tenth street
south, Minneapolis. claims that the
blindness is only temporary and that
the young womans sight will return
gradually.
The case, which is battling and
unprecedented locally, is thought to
be the result Of a temporary paral-
ys1s of the optic nerve, superinduced
by the nervous shock occasioned by
the sudden closing of the desk. For
some time Miss Garfield was unable
to open her eyelids without exper-
fencing the utmost pain. Monday,
for the first time, she allowed the
lids to remain open. but was unable
to see. Later she could see but very
dinly.
Miss Garfield was employed by the
L. T. Davis Investment Company, as a
stenographer.
Friday morning at IL O'clock, ac-
cording to the story she has told her
mother and her chum, Miss Viola
Bartlett, she was sitting in front of
her desk. having completed typewrit-
ing letter.
The typewriter is attached to
movable plane in the desk, which drops
downward, bearing the machine out Of
sight, and at the same time causing a
wooden cover to rise from the desk,
outward and cover the aperture. It is
necessary. when closing the desk, to
hold the cover lest it drop into place
too suddenly.
In some manner the desk suddenly
snapped" shut Friday, Miss Garfield
quickly withdrew her hands and closed
her eyes as she turned away to escape
the shock. The desk closed and the
young woman opened her eyes-to
utter darkness.
She arose from the desk and stagger-
ed forward, stumbling over chair and
against another desk.
II can't see! It's all dark! What's
the matter?" she cried to E. E. Stearns,
manager for the company.
Mr.. Stearns assured himself that the
young woman had been stricken blind,
temporarily at least. She was placed
in carriage and taken home. She has
remained in her room ever since.
It is now reported that Miss Garfield
is in an improved condition and that,
while her sight has not yet been re-
stored, she is able to s>e outlines of
objects of any considerable size with
out experiencing much pain.
Miss Garfield was formerly employ
ed in the NJ. B. A. offices in Mason City
and her mother was for a time matron
at the Cerro Gordo county farm.

A NEAR SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Broken and Dragging Truck of Parlo,
Car Discovered in Time.

Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa Falls, Feb. THE ST. Paul &
Des Moines had another bit of good
luck in averting what might have
proven a bad accident. The Milwaukee
parlor car which is attached to the
train leaving Des Moines every morn
ing made the trip as far as Cambridge,
Saturday, and in switching on to a
side track curve, Conductor Fox dis
covered that the axle of the center pair
Of wheels on the rear trucks of the
car had broken and that the disabled
wheels were being dragged along by
the other wheels instead of running on
the rails.
Investigation proved that the jour-
nal had broken off close up to one OF
the wheels, leaving a portion of the
journal in the journal box and allow
ing the axle and the other wheel to
become a drag. The car was set out
and will be returned to Des Moines for
repairs. 1t is stated by railroad men
that had the broken journal fallen
down while the train was under full
speed the car would have undoubtedly
been ditched.

FIGHT FOR LEGAL REcoG-

PROPOSE TO PUSH CONTEST
UNTIL POINT is GAINED
Commissioners Wright Finds oeo is
Sold Regularly in ST. Louis as But
tern akers Find Method of Evadns
All State Laws Except lowa's-
Creamery Men Not Worrying.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 1.-THE cleo makers
are engaged right now IN an active and
thorough campaign in Iowa for the
creation of public sentiment that will
permit of such changes in the state and
cleo as butter. They announce that the
campaign is to be long and serious
one and that no matter what the butter
makers think about it they will carry
ii on to a successful conclusion.
Iowa has the only law of its kind,
for it forbids the sale of oieo "of q
yellow color while the federal law and
most of the state laws forbid the
"coloring of oeo yellow The distinc-
ton is important; but it is not as i'm
portant as formerly, for the makers
have discovered how to make oleo of
a yellow color without coloring it.
Commissioner Wright, who has
waged relentless war on the custom of
selling cleo for butter, has in his office
right now samples of cleo that are
much yellower than the average coun-
try butter uncolored. The Iowa law
hits this kind of oleo but under the
federal law it has paid only quarter
cent pound tax.
A short time ago Mr.. Wright and a
friend went thru the big St Louis
market, where scores of dealers had
signs exposed for "Elgin butter" and
pure creamery butter" but no refer
ence to oleo The prices advertised
ranged from 26 to 80 cents a pound.
81 asked for some butter" said Mr..
Wright. st was offered samples for %
cents. My friend nudged me and said
it looked like cleo. After some par
leying the dealer admitted 1t was oleo.
But he offered it for butter and at IS
cents a pound. He could get me some
butter, he said, but it would cost As
cents pound. When / returned home
a dealer showed me oleo exactly like
that offered in the St Louis market. for
Is cents a pound, and he sold 1t not
for butter but for cleo. Myself and
friend looked all thru that st. Louis
market and every dealer was selling
oleo and selling it for butter. That
situation illustrates exactly what the
makers of cleo are doing and what they
want. They would like to do in every
city Of Iowa just what they are able TO
do in ST. Louis. Therefore they want
the removal of the restrictions from the
sale of oleomargarine"
Mr.. Wright is Of the opinion that
the makers of oleo are not going to try
f, very hard to have the Decent tax re-
! moved on colored stuff, since they have
found out how to make 1t yellow with
out resort to artificial coloring matter.
What they are trying to do now is to
convince the people that butter is often
not good and that butterIne is really
a high grade product and worth just as
much as butter.
The creamery and dairy interests OF
Iowa are aware of what is going on,
but apparently doing little to offset the
campaign being made by the manufac-
turers. But by the time the next
legislature meets matters VIII be SET
