hours talk in the house to determine
how much ought to be provided per
horse per year, and at that the ques-

involved Champ Clark, minority lead

Hamlin and half dozen others.
Under pending bill $137 was al
lowed, this being equal to six dollars
per shoeing. Hamlin derided the idea

one barbed arrow, valued at three

One of the first of the Carpenters
here was William, 1886. He was one

Money and expense are not essential 10
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform a crude, mar
tistic room into graceful, dainty apart
ment.
Really it is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much as money.
Wall paper is expensive-it costs money
to buy it, to hang it and again to re-
move it. With the use of the alabastined
wall there is only the slight cost of the
material-any one can brush it on-and it
is not necessary to wash it off the wall
when a fresh coat is required.
1t is very easy to mix, very simple to
apply, but the results are simply beauti-
full. A whole house can be done at just
little more than the cost of a single
room when ordinary materials are used.
And this is true, that now that we have
so much better materials for use in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper,
common kalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date as the old time white
wash, tallow candles and rough hewn
floors. Mere money is no longer an es-
sential in good housefurnishing in artistic
home making.
The new materials and labor-saving ma
chimes are most welcome to us all-and
every thoughtful woman, every woman
who cares for her home. is quick to utilize
them.

"Since the year 1895, when w. A.

however. have caused the failure of

Cakes Family

Cakes, Oak, Oaks and Oke are vari-
ations of the name, which was orig
inally Oak. form found in colonial
records. Cakes and Oaks are the u.s.
ual present day spelling.
Ac, or Ack, was an Anglo-SaXon
word, meaning oak-the oak tree, and
it formed part of many local names
in Great Britain: Ackley, now Oak
ley; Acfield or Ackfeld, now Oakfield;
Acden, now Oakden; Acham, now Oak
ham, and Holyac, now Holybrook, or
Holyoake, or Holyoke.
From residence in an oak forest, or
near oaks, the family came to be
called Oak, and all coats-of-arms OF
the family have borne oaks or acorns.
Another theory accounts for the
name Oak, as derived from the Gaelic
ach or auch, meaning a field.
I'm Somersetshire, there is an an
cient parish called Oake; in Shrop-
shire live the Oakleys, who trace back
to Philip, lord of Oakley, in the time
of Henry III.
Del Oke, or "of the oak" is sur
name found in old English records.
Nathaniel Oak, immigrant, some
times wrote his name Oake. 1t was
his son, Jonathan, who added IS" to
the name, Oaks or Cakes. The Maine
branch of the. family has kept the
original form, Oak.
Marlboro, now Northboro, not far
from Boston, was the home of Nathan
iel, who, in documents of the day, is
called yeoman, planter and gentleman.
Ten thousand, goodly army Of
Oaks, are the number Of the descend
ants of Nathaniel, through his five
sons. II the children, to the present
generation, of his three daughters,
were included. the number would be
10000 or Whereabouts. Nathaniel had
35 grandchildren, and 1913 great-grand-
children
Revolutionary sires abound in this
branch of the Oak family. Capt. Seth
of the third generation was a soldier,
and his son, Calvin, served six days
at the Lexington Alarm" his broth
er, Nathaniel, entered the continental
army when about eighteen years old.
Many we'll known as statesmen, pro-
fessional men and literary lights are
found in the family. Lyndon Oak was
a power in Maine, in the business and
educational world, and for half GEN.
fury dictator in state politics.
The historian of the family was
Henry Lebbens Oak, born 1874, of the
civfb 0oporation from Nathaniel and
of the Maine branch. When rs years
old he became librarian of the Ban
croft library of San Francisco.

MOST PEOPLE DO
NOT KNOW CAUSE
OF THEIR SICKNESS

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is becom-
ing widely discussed since L. T. Coop
er first advanced his theory that the
stomach is the true seat of life and all
health dependent upon it.
Mr. Cooper, who has met with re-
markable success in the sale of his
new medicine, believes that the stour
ach is responsible for most sickness.
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: 81 am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such record
wherever have introduced it. My an
swer always is, because it restores the
stomach to a normal condition. No
one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems
to be the matter with them. They
are just half-sick most of the time.
They don't know really what is the
matter with them. have talked with
thousands during the past two years,
and few knew indeed what their trou-
BILE was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver COM
plant, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called it, for most of
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is all run
down. or tired all the time or no
appetite
Il know positively that every bit of
this chronic ill health is caused by
stomach trouble and nothing else.
My New Discovery puts the stomach
In sound condition in about six weeks.
Mighty few people can be sick with a
sound digestion. That is why my medi-
cine is selling at such a tremendous
rate. I have convinced many thou
sands of people that these things are
SO, and the number is growing by
leaps and bounds"
Among more recent converts to Mr..
Cooper's beliefs is Mrs. Lottie L.
Miner, living on Rural Route No. 2,
Henniker, N. H., who says: 81 was in
poor health for six years, from stom-
ach trouble and indigestion. Quite
frequently my stomach was so weak

Uncle Sam Has New Dishes in Cook Book

Picking, smoking and curing meats
are also advocated. The use of the
fats of the meat in place of butter in
meat pies is advocated and the price
of savoring "drippings" is recommend
ed. Here is the plan:
when rendering the drippings of
fat meat, add a small onion lido not
cut it,, few leaves of summer saw
DRY and thyme, teaspoonful of salt
and little pepper. This is enough
for pint of fat. Keep the drippings
covered and in cool place"
Maybe you never knew about brais-
ing ribs of beef, broiling the beef ribs
or sirloin bones and sprinkling them
with salt and cayenne pepper. Well,
try it. Also try boiling marrow bones
with a bit of dough at the end and
then serving them on toast.
In utilizing the cheaper cuts Of meat
the following is recommended:
Casserole Roast.-Three or four
pounds of round rump of beef;
slice of salt pork; few pepper corns;
one-fourth each of carrot, turnip,
an onion and a head of celery cut
into small slices.
Spanish Beefsteak.-Take a piece
of round steak weighing two pounds
and about an inch thick; pound until
thin, season with salt and cayenne
pepper, cover with a layer of bacon
and salt pork cut into thin slices;
roll and tie with a cord. Pour around
it half a cupful of milk and half
cupful of water. Place in a covered
baking dish and cook two hours.
basting occasionally.
Mock Venison.-Cut cold mutton
into thin slices and heat in brown
sauce made according to the follow
ing proportions: Two tablespoonful
butter, two tablespoonful flour, one
tablespoonful of bottled meat sauce
whichever is preferred), one table
spoonful red currant jelly and one
cupful water or stock.
Brown the flour in the butter, add
the water or stock slowly, and keep
stirring. Then add the jelly and meat
sauce and let the mixture boil up
wall.

JEALOUSY between the house and
y senate has broken out in a new
form. This time it has nothing to do
with procedure or legislation. 1t has
been discovered that Representative
Adamson of Georgia can dispose of
more food at one sitting than any
other member of the house. Senator
Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia,
who stands high on the list of million
aires in the senate, has the reputation
of being able to eat more at one meal
than most of his colleagues can get
away with at two sittings. Mr.
Adamson is strongly backed by the
southern members of the house while
the senators are willing to back Mr.
Elkins. The sporty members of con-
gress are anxious to arrange a con-
test at which the question will be set
tied. The plan is to have Dick Shaw.

make all the necessary arrangements.

CALLED FOR QUICK ACTION
Incident in the Philippines Is Recalled
by the Death of Rear Ad-
miraI Dyer.

1.-THE death of Rear Admiral Dyer
robbed the navy of one Of the finest
officers that ever walked deck" said
an army man who saw service in the
Philippines.
Dyer, who was second in command
under Dewey at Manila bay, had a
record as a fighter. He was never
known t. miss a chance of getting
into scrap. Late in 1898, Dyer, in
command of the cruiser Baltimore,
with one or two gunboats, conveyed
from Manila down in the town Iloilo,
on the island Of Panay, considerable
force of troops on transports. It was
the expectation chat Iloilo would be
seized, but the F1tpinos prepared to
resist and, as hostilities had not be-
gun with them, we vefrained from
making an attack.
"The vessels lay in the channel off
Iloilo for weeks. That troublesome
German cruiser, the Irene: which
Dewey chased out of Subig bay, put
in an appearance. The naval officers
were sore at the Germans for their
attitude at Manila, and would have
liked nothing better than a good ex-
cuse for war. 1t was felt in the navy
and army alike that the Germans were
helping the Filipinos.
Zone morning early, several small
boats pulled away from the Irene. It
could be seen they contained machine
guns. Ostensibly, the crews were 60
ing out for target practice, but they
headed for the mouth of a river that
led back to Iloilo. 1t was only few
minutes until launch left the Balti-
more, hurried to the Irene, an Amer
lean officer went aboard, and pres
emily the Irene's boats were signaled
back and the machine guns hoisted up
over the side.
Gust what happened do not know;
but every one who saw it believed
Dyer had called sharp halt on what
was a covert attempt to turn machine
guns over to the Filipinos. Nor did
any one doubt that he was ready to
back up his word with the guns of the
Baltimore. That Irene gave no more
trouble in that region. Nor were there
any more attempts to hold target prac-
tice." Washington Times.
