ject.


Official announcement was made by
the Denver & Gulf Railroad Co. that a
contract was let to d New York Con-
istruction Co. to assume all responsible
ty for the 55 miles of road to be built
;'soon.. In the contract, too, it is claim
cd, it is agreed that the new company
assumes the June obligations of the
railroad company. In other words,
those who worked on the grades during
June must look to this new company
for pay, and the new company won't
pay before July 25th, but whether it
will be July, 1910, or 1911.
Strange, isn't it, that this company
That promises 50 much, should SHIFT its
obligations thus2 1t may not be gen
orally known that they tried in every
way to get Western contractors and
construction companies to take hold,
but required OF them that a per cent
of the pay should be in stock or bonds
of the Denver K Gulf. They wouldn't t
tbite. Now this company comes in, and
out little is known of them. Is it the
beginning of the end?= Sentinel.

Money and expense are not essential to
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform crude, mar
tistic room into a graceful, dainty apart
mcnt.
Really il is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much ms money.
Wall paper is expensiye-it costs money
TO buy 1t, 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 II
is not necessary TO wash il off the wall
when fresh coat is required.
II is very easy to mix, very simple to
apply, but the results are simply beauti-
full A whole house can be done at Just
a 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 llalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date AS the old time white
wash, talow candles and rough hewn
floors. Mere money is no longer an os-
sential in good houseiurnishing in artistic
home making.
The new materials and labor.saving mn.
chimes are most welcome to us all-and

who cares for her home, is quick to utilize
them.

Farmers should eat more oatmeal.

Although the farmer of today is able
to buy almost anything he wants to
wear or eat he isn't paying enough
attention to food values when 1t comes
to his own table.
He feeds his stock carefully, avoids
overlooking and selects the stock food
that he believes will give the best re-
turns in strength and general efficiency.
If he has been watching the extern
sive researches and experiments on
the question Of the best human food
for muscle and brain he will heed the
advice from all sides to "eat more

Quaker Oats is mentioned because
