PURE BLOOD

means good health: Bad Blood, sickness
and suffering. Did you ever think what
caused Bad Blood? When your Stom-
ach and Bowels are not handling your
food as they should. the blood is first
to suffer, because every drop OF blood
In your body must be taken into tho
blood vessels In tho Stomach and Bow
els. and every drop Of your blood
comes from the food you cat.
Pure Blood means rich blood. II
your Stomach Is not digestIng the food,
your blood is thin; II your bowels arc
not carrying of the waste part OF the
food. then the polsons generated in the
body and taken up by the blood serve
to render the blood impure Just as a
sewer emptying into n spring OF clear
water would cause the water to be-
come impure.
There was time when people took
"sarsaparilla" for the blood; now they
realize that they were treating tho
symptoms only. and that the way to
have pure, rich. red blood Is to use n
medicine that will stimulate, cleanse
and regulate the Stomach and Bowels,
aid digestion, aid In the disposal OF the
waste part Of the food. tone up the
liver. and in natural manner assist

The Problem of Leftover Vegetables.
Many housewives have numerous
ways of serving leftover meats, but
the vegetable is either thrown away
or appears just as 1t was served the
day before.
h Corn may be prepared as an es-
calloped dish or put into a potato or
other vegetable salad to the advantage
of the latter. A cupful will make suf-
ficient corn oysters for four people.
Add tablespoonful of milk, a beat
en- egg and flour with baking powder
well sifted to make them hold togeth-
,er, then fry in hot fat.
Corn added to mullins is delicious
addition.
A small quantity of tomatoes may
be added to soup, meat sauce or
an escalloped dish OF corn.
Cold string beans make an excel
lent salad: Add teaspoonful Of
chopped onion to a cupful of string
beans with salt and pepper to taste.
Cut slice OF bacon into dice and fry;
pour the fat over the beans, then add
quarter OF .cupful of hot vinegar,
and serve.
I; Cheese added to creamed string
beans changes the dish to one quite
new.
A few peas may be added to the
broth of mutton stew and served
with 1t, making dish most palatable.
Scalloped onions are especially nice
prepared with cold boiled onions; fla
Yor with cheese.
i A green pea omelet is a most deli.
cious luncheon dish. Drain cupful
of cold cooked peas, mash and season.
When the omelet is ready to serve
spread the peas over one.half and fold.
Serve on hot platter.
Turnips and squash may be sea-
soned and baked.

An extremely smart odd blouse was
made Of black and white polka;dotted

X high at the neck and finished with a

Another early autumn blouse was of

In due time the members of the main

General Hernandez in an interview
today stated that General Navarros in
activity following the battle of Cereo
Prieto last Sunday was due to his
(Hernandez) orders that reinforcements
be awaited before pressing the insur-
rectos further.
Advices from Pedernales state that
small detachments of revolutionists con-
activity following the battle of Cerro
Prleto and Rancho Santiago. making
good the insurrecto boast that when the
federals again attack it will be against
1000 men.
Navarro himself expects that the next
engagement will be more serious than
that of last Sunday. General Hernandez
|'denied the story that Navarro executed
80 alleged anti-re-electionist after Sun
days battle. The story was told, how
ever, not only among the revolutionists
but in Navarro's own camp.
The achievements destined for Cerro
Prieto arrived here today. They num-
bered $50. General Hernandez stated
that the disaffected district would be

insurrectos do not themselves attack it

The mysterious nature of the malady
from which the aged millionaire senator
is suffering has never been made clear
to the public, but it is now said that
the main trouble is an inability to digest
food.
It is asserted Elkins is given large
amount of the most nutritious kinds of
foods, selected by the most skilled ex-
perts, but the digestive apparatus does
not transform it into life giving sub
stances and the patients blood has
grown weaker continually.
Though no one except his immediate
family and physicians is allowed to see
him, reports are that he has lost weight
until he would scarcely be recognized
by his close friends.
Many years ago, far out on the
southern hills of what is now Kansas
City, there used to be for transcon-
tinentaI travellers who made their way
across the plains in wagons, with oxen
as a motive power, a series of wells
from which came sparkling water.
One day in the latter sos there came
struggling into this particular site
Westport-a wagon train, the oxen
tired and dirty. In the party was a
youth doing a mans work-Stephen
Benton Elkins.
A home was selected on a knoll,
and there Senator Elkins began his life
work. Education was secured in the
old Westport school and when he got
through he became a teacher there.
Later he worked his way through the
University of Missouri, from which he
graduated in 1850. He returned to
WeStpOrt and resumed his teaching.
The log cabin built by his father is
still standing there but it has been
boarded over and is unrecogntzable-
Shortly after the war broke out
Elkins showed tendency to favor the
Unionists. Cole Younger suggested
Kansas City was not a healthy location
for such sentiment and Elkins left
that time Younger really saved Elkins'
life.
In 1864 Elkins decided the oppor-
tunitieS were good in New Mexico and
he went there. In 1866 he was elected
to the territorial legislature and was
later appointed United States district
attorney. During his work there he
secured the liberty Of thousands OF
slavery. In 1873 he was elected to
congress from New Mexico.
In Washington he met Miss Halle
Davis, daughter of Senator Henry G.
Davis. His wife was of Virginia and
the land of the South. Meeting every
change, Elkins soon adapted himself
to his wifes people. And right here
his success began. All of his invest
ments have brought good returns. To-
day his wealth is estimated at 3d.
600, 000-and with it all he is slowly
slipping to death for lack of nourish-
ment, literally dying of starvation.
Stephen Elkins was reared in West
port, now part of Kansas City. His
family was northern in it's rproclivities
Stephen fell into the hands of a band
of marauding southern sympathizers,
one Of them being Cole Younger Cole
was put in charge of young Elkins
and that meant that Cole was to be his
executioner. The unwritten history OF
the war contains a full account of how
men were put to death summarily. The
morning following the capture of Elk
ms, Younger was told to take charge
of the prisoner" and under that in

JAPAN'S ANNUAL BUDGET
Calls for the Expenditure of About
54O,OOO,OO Yen.

Toxic, Dec. 16.-The budget for
1911-12 as finally completed was an
nounced today as follows:
Receipts ordinary. 4s2,1sS,ooo yen;
lures ordinary, 407.113,274; extraor-
binary, 133,S21,699. A yen is equiva-
lent to about SO cents in American
money. Marquis Katsura, premier
full view of the financial situation. He
says that the affairs of the current
year and the financial program have
worked we'll. This program will
continued. During the year past the
government has had a particularly
heavy burden to carry. The navy has
called for an increased expenditure in
order to avoid the criticism of neglect
in the face of the advances made by
other powers. The annexation of
Korea and disastrous floods have add
ed materially to the extraordinary eX-
penses.
Marquis Katsura lays down these
two rules as effective in directing the
policy of the government First to
maintain the balance of revenue and
expenditure in the general estimates
and not to look to loans as financial
resources.
Second, to maintain the program of
annual redemption of the public debt
by an amount of 100000 yen or
more.
He says the government has COM
mitted itself to these principles. In
the next six years 100000 yen will
be spent in supplementing and improv-
ing the navy. Fifteen millions is ap-
propriated for the next fiscal year.
The minister says the conspicuous
Innovations adopted by other powers
in the types of their warships have
made it necessary for Japan to some
what increase it's navy expenditure. not
because of any danger arising from
differences with other countries, but
because the navy of Japan while not
endeavoring to compete with or sur
pass those of other nations, must be
kept UP to a modern standard. Incl
dentally the minister states that
Japan's relations with other govern
ments are most amicable. Next years
estimate for railways is nearly $1,000
600 yen. This amount is required, the
premier says, because of the determin-
alton of the government to improve
the railroad system. Commencing
next year. the reconstruction of the
main line into broad gauge road will
be undertaken.
A loan for this purpose probably
will be raised but it will be in the ma
ture of special account for which the
railways will be made responsible. The
time and place of raising this loan will
depend wholly upon economic condi-
lions at home and abroad.
