ALL HAIL THE FOOD TABLETS,
no Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
No Household Drudaery.

HOW would you like to throw away
All your Kitchen utensils and most OF
the dishes; send your flour, meats,
spices and other pantry stun to a
charitable association; turn the kitch-
en- into den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto a coy corner, and live on

GRAFTON In connection with the recent
discussion of How to Get Rid of

sas City Times.
The suggestion was made In good

gard to the fact that such a plan of
near eating" would rob life Of its
dearest privilege, that Of gazing Oh
and devouring the luscious roasts and
Drolls that competent cooks prepare,
70 say nothing of potatoes mashed,

gravy and pumpkin pie.
This is no jest" the writer of the
essay says. ut has been my dream
Tor years. There is only one solution
10 the problems of housekeeping, only
one way to escape the ills that come
from unwise eating. Do away with
the kitchen and pantry. live on fresh
fruits, nuts and condensed foods in
tablet form. Have a refrigerator or,
better still, cold storage room where
drinking water may be cooled and the
fruits chilled. An ornamental Jar or
caDinet will hold enough tablets to
reed family for a week or more
Think of the time saved that might
be devoted to reading or outdoor exer-
else! And with the money saved we
could buy motor cars or electric car
riages."
Think of the saving of time and
energy, too! No more luncheons to
put up in newspapers every morning
for the children and father. A tablet
or two In their pockets and possibly a
nut for dessert and away they go to
the Office. Can you see fathers face
when he comes home at night, tired
and cross, the children romping in
from school with cold little noses and
empty stomachs. ready to grow rap
turous over plump, fat chicken or a
pan OF Irish stew and hot biscuits?
Can you see the faces Of the children
light up with joy when you point one
finger at the tablet jar and go on with
your Browning or Emerson? No
dishes to wash, no scraps to throw
aWay-nothing to do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits, tablets and nuts.

Cheerfuiness and Mirth,

CRAWFORD ELLIOTT
Has Invented a New Style
Cotton Picker.

Washington, July 24.-Patents
were issued today to Crawford Ell
liotr, the inventor of the book type
writer, on a cotton picker or harves-
Ter which be has perfected as the
rest It of nearly seven years constant
effol t. The basic pat ent granted
GOV. RS forty different claims. Inc
machine has been tested for two
year in the cotton fields, and with
it e man and team of mules Will
do lie work of forty hand pichers.
On y the ripe cotton is picked, and
thi, is done without injury to the
gre. n cotton or the flowers. The
sue essful cotton picker has at last
arrived and will enable the planters
to greatly increase the present acre
age under cultivation.
The principle of the machine is a
double row of bristle brushes about
one and one.half inches in diameter
and fourteen inches long, spinning
rapidly in such manner that the
revolving brushes are introduced in
to the plants close to the ground and
drawn up in a vertical line through
the plants, the brushes penetrating
the bushes from both sides of the
row. The ripe cotton adheres to the
brushes while the rest of the plant
is not in any way effected, the brush
es travelling to a receptacle where
they are stripped of the cotton and
the operation is repeated.
1t has been thoroughly tested and
demonstrated that it will do the
work at a quarter of the cost of
hand labor, which means a saving of
150,000,000 a year to the cotton
growers.
The invention which he's been pur-
chased by the National Cotton Har-
vester Company of Chicago, ILL.,,
means much to the growth and ex-
pansion of the cotton industry, and
it will undoubtedly add immensely
to the annual wealth of the cotton
growing states.
