this about two slices of crisp toast with

The result is very marked difference

that temperature is the all important
factor in controlling quality; so what

COMBAT THE PESTS.

Have everything in the poultry
house removable, including roosts,
nests, dropping boards and every
thing else that goes to furnish a poul-
try house. 1t is so much easier to
combat the lice and mites where
these things are not fixed. They may
be taken from the house, little kerr
osene poured on them, match APP
piled, and the oil will burn without
setting fire to the wood. Then If the
interior of the house is sprayed with
some good liquid lice killer, and new
nesting material provided, the both
ersome insects will soon cease to be
a pest. Where furnishings are per-
manent it is almost impossible to rid
the premises of these pests.-Indiar-

GOT HIS CHANGE BACK
official Honesty in Europe That Held
 Up q Train.

From the Washington Post.
 For scrupulous care and trouble taken to return change, l have never heard of anything that equaled an experience of mine on the railroad between Metz and Paris. said national guardsman the other day. T had been studying the bat tleflelds about Metz and when I decided to get back to Paris. I converted most of the money I had left into francs.
 Tt was a hot day in August and the second-class compartments were so crowded that I decided, as we stopped at & town near the French border to change to a first-class coach. There was a sup plement to pay, and the only German money I had was in 20-mark pieces. The official who made the transfer did not have the proper change, and while l was waiting. for him to come back with the 12 marks and some pfennigs that belonged to me- the train moved off, and l gave my money up for gone.
 About II o'clock that night the train stopped at town about halfway to Paris There was only one other occu- pant of my compartment, a man who had got on at some station in France. Soon after we stopped the door of the com partment was opened and man in- ouired which of us had given a 20-marlS piece to be changed at the station in Ger many I replied that l was the indiv1d- ual.
 Come with me- monsieur he said. So I alighted and followed him into the station office.
 There ] found that my change had been telegraphed on. and he had the sum due me already and things to sign and the train was held up almost 15 minutes on my account, but I got pny money and lot of satisfaction"

showed further that the average gasoline consumption for the touring ear was
 one gallon for each 15 miles of travel and
 one quart of oil for each 175 miles of travel. The Demi-Tonneau car showed ar; average of 171h miles for each gallon Of
 gasoline and POO miles for each quart of
 Gil. Some users obtained 20 or more miles
 for each gallon Of gasoline but the figures | first given are averages.
 There Is no disgusting the fact that this record has proven a revelation even to automobile manufacturers themselves It proves beyond a doubt what the Cad lilac company has always maintained
 that the elements in motor car construc- ton which are absolutely necessary to economy and immunity from repairs
 are, scientific design, standardization ac-
 curacy of workmanship and correct align ment. Also that necessity for repairs is
 the result of poor design, inaccuracy of workmanship, il-ftting and incorrectly aligned parts.
 A year or more ago they proved before
 the Royal Automobile club of London that three Cadillacs could be torn down; all the parts thrown in pile: a portion
 of these parts discarded and new ones substituted and the three cars built up again from the heap of parts to run with absolute sweetness and without so much as an iota of looseness
 For this the Cadillac was awarded the Dewar Trophy.
 And now comes another demonstration which simply emphasizes the fact that the convictions of the Cadillac company as to the essentials of a long-lived, sery- iceable and economical car are correct. Cadillac measurements are finer in & greater proportion of essential parts than those of any other car in the world finer than the costliest cars made.

Alnska Not Growing.

From the Washington Post
 "It is true that Alaska has not grown in population since 190o' A. B. Hager of Nome said to a Post reporter. This has been due largely to the fact that there have not been any recent discoveries of rich mining camps And unless there are some developments along this line it is probable that the population of Alaska will decrease rather than increase Just 90 soon as the news is flashed abroad that the new gold fields have been dIs- covered I have no doubt that people will flock to the territory; but there Is not much hope of any discoveries for some time to come unless the federal govern ment gives the people some encourage ment
 No country can be developed in this age without some help. Alaska is not the most comfortable place in the world in which to live. Men will not remain there unless they have some prospect of prohting by their residence. It has been said that Alaska offers wonderful op- portunities in an agricultural way. This may be so, but it has yet to be proved. For several years the territory has pro- duced about s20,00O,000 in gold, but that this ration will keep up no one of any observation or good sense believes. un- less new gold fields are discovered in other sections of the country. \, Ut is my opinion that there is a great .Aeal of gold in Alaska that has not been reached. but it has to be found before 1t can be mined, and if this government does not by some sort of legislation help ! Co encourage the people who are develop Aing Alaska, it will be many years before the territory becomes the great source of revenue to the United States that it ought to be.
 ''Agriculture is prospect of the future. There are valleys in the interior in which, ! have no doubt. wheat and other grains can be grown. but it is yet undetermined, and 1t will take some years of experi- mentation before 1t is shown conclusively { that Alaska can be made an agricultural country

Cadillac costs less rupkeep than any
 other automobile
Remarkable record submitted by 75 Cadillac Thiry in New York metropolitan district who have driven their 998S4 miles at total cost for mechanical re-
 pairs of $53.21, averaging 1 cents per car

Equivalent to 16 times around the world -39S, ,sS4 mes-at a total repair cost of s53.21.
 That is the amazing record revealed by statistics just compiled from the exper1- ences of 75 Cadillac Thirty owners in New York city and vicinity.
 It is doubtful if the entire history of travel and transportation-steam electric or gasoline-can show case of parallel economy.
 There was in this instance no special striving to attain minimum
 The 75 owners went their separate ways with their 75 Cadillac Thirty cars, each without reference to the other.
 They took no special precautions. out drove where they pleased, when they pleased, how they pleased, without the slightest idea that their experience was to be made matter of record.
 At the close of 1909 statistics were col lected and compiled from the signed state ments of the 75 users.
 It was found that the D cars had tray eed a total distance of 39S, ,SS4 miles, by distance equivalent to 16 trips around the world.
 Forty-six of the owners had no repair cost whatever-not a single penny-in spite of the fact that some of them had driven their cars as much as 1S,000 miles.
 The highest individual repair charge for the entire year was that of one user, whose car cost nim-for special reasons which did not reflect upon the construc- tion in any way-$10 the distance it .-or- ried being 5000 miles.
 Eleven of the others expended turing the year from 25 cents to 50 cents. The average distance travelled was 531S miles per car yet the average repair expense was less than Il cents each.

Knew She'd Miss It.
From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

From the f'1LtSDurS 6dZctle-1 iHles.
 There was a long line formed at the stamp window in the postoffice, the other day, when a heavily-veiled woman with several parcels appeared on the scene. She looked askance at the waiting crowd. then edged up close to the win dow and fidgetted impatiently.
 Dear, dear" she murmured, "I just know I shall miss my car'
 An oblinging man relinquished his place near the head of the line and stepped back to the foot. The woman thanked him. tapped her foot impatiently while the one or two ahead of her were being served. Then her turn came.
 Dear, dear" she exclaimed, fumbling her numerous parcels, there's no place to lay things. A 2-cent stamp please"
 After much fussing she found her parcels and her tightly-gloved hands she could not open 1t. Finally at her re- quest the stamp clerk opened It, extracted a nickel, put three pennies in the bag, closed it and showed over a stamp.
 Dear, dearw exclaimed the woman, '.the letter is in the bag. Would you mind"
 The clerk reopened the bag and found the letter. After several futile attempts the woman managed to pick up the stamp in one gloved hand and the letter in the other. Then she halted again.
 Dear, dear! she said. my veil is pinned SO tight can't get under it. Would you mind licking this?"
 Patiently the clerk took the stamp, licked it, pasted it on the letter dropped it in the receptacle and looked to the next customer
 Dear, dear!" said the woman, it takes so long to get waited on. I just know I'll miss my car.'
