FOR THOSE FOND OF RABBIT
Cooked in the Following Manner It
Will Be Found a Most De.
licious Dish.

After your rabbit is dressed, let it
hang and freeze q day If possible.
This is not essential, however; clean
carefully and cut away entirely the
strip of thin skin that covers the in
testines. Cut the rest of the rabbit
in pieces and soak for two hours in
salt water Rinse well and put up in
n kettle of cold water. Let boil and
pour off the water. Cover again with
hot water and simmer until tender.
Then take the pieces and roll in flour,
put in a baking pan. season with salt
and pepper and plenty of butter and
pour over it the water in which it
was boiled. Put in a slow oven and
let simmer and brown turning the
pieces once, about one hour. keeping
enough water on it to about half
cover. If you do not like rabbit
cooked this way there is no way to
cook it that you will like. This is

CLEAR-HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large busi-
ness house in one of our great West
ern cities speaks of the harm coffee
did for him.
My wife and drank our first cup
of Postum little over two years ago,
and VIC have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and a half years ago
I had an attack of pneumonia, which
left a memento in the shape of dysIep-
sia, or rather, to speak more correctly,
neuralgia o. the stomach. My cup of
cheer had always been coffee or tea,
but became convinced, after a time,
that they aggravated my stomach trou-
BILE. I happened to mention the mat
ter to my grocer one day and he sug-
gested that give Postum a trial.
Next day it came, but the cook made
the mistake of not boiling it sufficient
ly, and we did not like it much. This
was, however, soon remedied, and now
we like it so much that we will never
change back. Postum, being a food
beverage instead of drug, has been
the means of curing my stomach trou-
BILE, l verify believe, for am well
man today and have used no other
remedy.
my work as chief bookkeeper in our
Co.'s branch house here is of very
confining nature. During my coffee
drinking days l was subject to nerv-
BUSINESS and the blues in addition to
my sick spells. These have left me
s;pca bapan uSiDp Postum and can
conscientiously recommend it to those
whose work confines them to long
hours of severe mental exertion."

BOurne'S Amended
Bill Passes Senate
Utah Provision to Apply In Oregon
On Arid Land Home
steads.

Senator Jonathan Bourne writes
this paper that his bill amending the
enlarged homestead act will not be
urged for enactment at this time.
His bill was based upon the principle
that production rather than mere
residence should be the prerequisite
to the acquiremnt of title to non
drrigable arid lands.
Mr.. Bourne requested discussion
OF the measure, and he says he re-
celVed a large number of letters
concerning 1t, the majority of which
were favorable to the bill. There
has been considerable opposition
however, and for this reason it will
not be pressed at present.
The senate public lands commit
tee reported an amendment to Mr..
Bourne's Dali so as to make the
Utah law apply to Oregon. The
amended bill has passed the senate.
If it should become a law it will
bring Oregon within the provisions
OF section 6 of the Enlarged Home
stead act, which section has hereto
fore applied only to Utah. This sec
tion will then read as follows:
Sec. 6. That whenever the Secre-
tary of the Interior shall find that
any tracts of land, in the states of
Utah or Oregon, subject to entry
under this act, do not have upon
them such sufficient supply of
water suitable for domestic pur-
poses as would make continuous res
idence upon the lands possible, he
may, in his discretion, designate
such tracts of land, not to exceed
in the aggregate two million acres,
and thereafter they shall be subject
TO entry under this act without the
necessity of residence: PROVIDED,
That in such event the entryman on
any such entry shall in good faith
cultivate not less than one-eighth
OF the entira area of the entry dur
Ing the second year, one-fourth dur
ing the third year, and cne-half dur
ing the fourth and fifth years after
the date of such entry, and that af-
ter entry and until proof the entry
man shall reside within such dis
tance of said land as will enable
him successfully to farm the same
as required by this section.
