A BROOKS Boy"
Who Is Making Good In California.

/
Frank S. Forbes, ESQ.,, of Los Angeles,
Calf, formerly of Brooks, is candidate
for the Republican nomination as Justice
at the direct primary election to be held
in that city August 10th, and is endorsed
by the Lincoln Roosevelt Republican
league. The Los Angeles Express of
June 21st, has the following:
CLEAN MAN FOR JUSTICE.
AS evidence of the determination of
anti-machine Republicans to put forward
the strongest and cleanest men who can
be prevailed upon to stand for nomina-
ton to public Office, the endorsement bv
the Lincoln Roosevelt Republican league
of the candidacy of Frank S. Forbes for
justice of the peace is cited.
Ever since the inception Of the house
cleaning movement within the Republ-
can party, in this city Mr.. Forbes has
performed valiant service in behalf of
clean politics and good government. AL
ways identified with the progressive ele-
ment in the Republican party, he was
one of the first to volunteer his services
in behalf of the reform movement inaug-
urated in this city two years ago. He
was chosen president of the first Lincoln
Roosevelt Republican club in Southern
California, organized at Highland Park
in the fall of 1907. Soon after this club
came into existence he set to work or
ganizing other clubs in various precincts
of the city and county, forming 40 such
clubs in the precincts outside of the city,
besides number in the city precincts.
During the campaign which resulted in
the election of R. w. Pridham as super
visor, MIR. Forbes served as chairman Of
the campaign committee in the fifth
supervisoral district, and it was largely
due to his energy and ceaseless vigilance,
combined with his ability as an organizer
Of the forces of Good Government in that
district, that the county procured the SER
vices of Mr.. Pridham in this important
body
In practically every branch of the work
IN behalf of progress Mr.. Forbes has
been an active worker. During several
campaigns he was chairman of the Good
Government committee in the first ward;
he was one of the original members of
the City club; he has been active in the
Good Government organization, and is a
member of the county executive commit
tee of the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league.
Mr.. Forbes is native of Maine. He
was graduated from Bates college in
1885, from Oberlin Theological seminary
in 1886, and took postgraduate course
in Harvard university in 1894 and 1895.
Until the year 1904 his career was con-
fined to the ministry in the Congrega-
tional church.
In 1908 Mr.. Forbes was graduated from
the law department of the University of
Southern California, since which time he
has been engaged successfully in the
practice of his profession. Hence he is
eminently qualified for the Office for
which he has been prevailed upon to be-
come a candidate.

THE LION AND THE SKUNK.

A DREAM.
l met lion in my path
cTwas dreary autumn night)
Who gave me the alternative
To either run or fight.
l dare not turn upon the track,
dare not think to run away,
For fear the lion at my back
Would seize me as his prey.
So summoning fearless air.
Though all my soul was full of fright,
said unto the forest king,
II will not run, but fight!'
We fought, and as the fates decreed,
| conquered in the bloody fray;
For soon the lion at my feet
A lifeless carcass lay.
A little skunk was standing by
And noted what the lion spoke,
And when he saw the lion die
The lions tracks he took.
He used the lions very speech,
And stretching to his utmost height
He gave me the alternative
To either run or fight.
l saw he W; prepared to fling
Vile odors from his bushy tail,
And knew those odors very soon
My nostrils would assail.
So summoning humble air,
Though all my soul was free from fright
l said unto the dirty brute,
"Ill run, but will not fght!'
MORAL.
AS years begin to cool my blood,
I'd rather all would doubt my spunk
Than for moment undertake
To battle with skunk.

How to Prepare Cereals.

In these days when a new
breakfast food seems 20 be invent
ed every other week or so, it
ought to be easy to solve the prob
lem of what to have for the first
meal of the day. Yet each Of theS
attractively named products is
merely a variety of some one of
the grains which we have adapt
ed to our uSe-corn, oats, wheat
or rice. The problem of the house
wife is to learn how best to cook
or serve these important food
Stuffs so that the member of the
family who is in the habit of de-
claring that he cannot eat oat-
meal" for instance, shall find
that he does like it, after all. For
in a family of four or five it is
certainly a bother to have to- pro-
vide each with his or her favor
lite cereal at every meal.
One of the first essentials in
making cereals appetizing is to
serve them hot. There is all the
the difference in tn world be-
tween a dish steamng oatmeal,
Of just the right consistency, and
one that is lukewarm and either
lumpy or as thin as soup. To serv
a cereal hot it should, when done,
be Immediately put into a heated
covered dish; the individual bowl
should also be heated
The ready-cooked cereals are
often sent to the table right from
the box in which they are bought
There is not one Of these which
will not be greatly improved by
following the directions for cheat
ing in the oven" This will give
them that crisp, crunchy taste
children, especially, like.
Two of the most nutritious and
most economical cereals are oat-
meal and cornmeal. Il the family
think they are tired of the old
fashioned oatmeal surprise them
by serving it with various cooked
fruits or fruit juices; brown SUI
gar, the dark brown kind, is de-
licious with it; canned or fresh
pineapple, and appetizing zest
Stewed prunes, to which slices
of lemon have been added when
they were cooking, are good with
any of the cooked cereals, espec-
tally with those that ctme ready
for heating in the oven.
