Milwaukee, Wis, May "A two

er voted against it, giving it major
ity vote Of one and it was declared
passed. The impression had gotten
abroad that Councilmen Manning and
Sauter were opposed to the pur-
chase of the plant, but that this was
an error and that they were right in
line with the others marching for
progress, was indicated by the stand
taken by them last evening
History of Movement.
The movement looking to the pur-
chase of the water plant was inau-
gurated under Mayor George Rog-
ers' administration. The services of
engineers were secured to appraise
the plant, the charter amended and
many other necessary preliminary
steps taken, but all were not COM
pleted so that the plant could be
purchased before the old administra-
tion retired and the unfinished work
was left for this administration. The
present administration took the task
up and it has been vigorously pressed
forward and last night the final chap
ter was written, and it is one which
will spell progress and prosperity
for the city of Salem.
What fbo Citv lonufras
Besides acquiring the entire plant,
the city secures a three-year lease
on the water power of the company
which is secured from the Mill
creek race and also an option'to pur-
chase the power on or before the
three years shall expire. The price
of the lease is $4,000 a year and
should the city desire to purchase
the water power right on or before
its termination, it may do so at a
price of $4,000.
According to the ordinance the
city pays $2O5,OOO in cash for the
plant; assumes bonded indebted
ness of s125,OOO, and also agrees to
pay for all mains and betterments
installed in streets which have been
graded since May 8, 1909, and which
will probably be some $90,0OO
Means Much to City.
The nurchase of the plant will
come as cheering news to all advo-
Gates of progress and pure water.
Councilman Elliott, father of the
bill, and who has fought for 1t from
the beginning to the end, is elated
over the victory gained last night
and so are Councilman Low, Hatch,
Huckstein, White and Waring'
Councilman Waring ever since his
election has been a stEong advocate
for the purchase of the plant and has
done much work to bring about the
victory obtained last night.
Ever since the typhoid epidemic
several years ago Salem has been
branded as a city Of impure water
That this stigma cast upon 1t has
had an effect discouraging to the
building up of the town goes without
saving. The requirement of the
plant means the removal of this stig-
ma and the result will be more homes
for Salem, greater volume of busi-
ness, and increased prosperity.
Business Men Approve.
There are general expressions OF
approval among Salem business men
and property owners at the action OF
the city council in buying the water
plant. They are all glad that the
city can now go ahead and improve
the source of supply, perfect the SER
vice and extend the mains without
litigation, and remove all causes for
criticism on the water supply Of this
city. Mayor Lachmund says he will
take the ordinance under cOnsidera-

MAKING GOOD CIDER VINEGAR
Process Is Simple and Involves Very
Little Work-CIeanIiness Is First
important Factor.
(By S. M. EILLEE.)

There are any apple orchards. es-
p~ecially those hat have never been
sprayed or cultivated, in which large
quantities of apples are allowed to go
to waste every year.
Such fruit makes a good grade of
cider vinegar, and a handsome profit
can be made in utilizing it in this way.
Even If me sprays and cultivates the
orchard regularly each season and
does everything possible to prevent
having anything but marketable fruit
there will always be a good many
culls.
However, do not allow these unmer-
charitable apples to go to waste. Make
cider vinegar from them and get a
good price for the product right here
at home.
Making cider vinegar is very simple.
There is practically no labor attached
to 1t other than extracting the juice
from the apples.
Perfect cleanliness first, last and all
the time is a matter of vital impor-
lance. Apples that are picked up from
tine ground are usually dirty and
should be thoroughly washed before
being placed in the cider mill.
The mill and all utensils used in the
making must be kept well cleaned if
q good product is to be made. To use
unclean fruit or u~nclean vessels sim
ply invites bad fermentation.
If all sorts of germs which are found
on dirty and decayed fruit are put in
the cider a good quality of vinegar
must not be expected.
Where one has no mill the fruit can
be pulped by hand with wooden mauls
In a wooden trough, and where only a
sufficient quantity of vinegar Is want
ed for home use 1t is not a difficult
matter to secure 1t in this way.
The best receptacles in which to
put the cider are molasses kegs or
barrels, preferably those which have
held vinegar previously, since fermen-
tation commences sooner when the fer
menting organism is present than
when 1t must find its way into the
liquid from outside mediums.
To made a good grade of vinegar
two factors are essential during the
process of fermentation. First. the
air must have free access to the liquid
to support the organism. Second, the
temperature must be favorable for the
growth of the fermenting agent.
The barrels Or kegs should be placed
In a room where the temperature will
be fairly constant at 20 to 10 degrees.
placed on their sides in order to give
more surface to the atmosphere, and

USEFUL LOW-WHEEL WAGON
Has Eeen Found Practically Indispen-
sable for Various Jobs Around
Farm Every Day In Year.

Every farmer knows that there are
numberless small jobs about the place
that require the use of a wagon where
the bed Will be close to the ground
SO as to make the lift as short as pos
sible.
That need has been met with the
loW-Wheel wagon and has made it
practically indispensable for gathering
apples, and hauling basket fruit, fod-
der, manure, hay and grain, clearing
the fields of stones and stumps and
carrying tools and timber for fixing
up fences, or any odd job, say, like
sauilng away q fallen tree.
Then there is nothing that fills the
bill letter for all kinds of work in the
cora fields. There is no earthly rea-
son why a man should lit the corn as
high as his shoulder when the low
wagon will permit him to perform the

labor in the same amount of time, to
say nothing of the wear and tear on a
mans back and body.
Almost every year a farmer buys
some implement that he can use only
during one seaso of the year-per-
haps only a few days; but the low
wheel wagon is something that he
can use every day in the year.
The broad tires make the draft
lighter, and that means saving the
team. Of course for certain kinds Of
road use there will always be a de
mand for the narrow tire wheels, but
on a smooth surface and particularly
where the ground is soft the pull on
the team is decreased % per cent to
so per cent for the simple reason that
the broad tires do not sink into the
ground; the wider bearing surface of
the tire distributes the load in such
a manner as to buoy the wagon up
and keep it on top of the ground.
Especially or plowed ground or very
muddy roads these wheels do not mire
like the ordinary wheels, which OF
course makes the saving on the horses
even greater.

Ended Cats Sojourh

Felix Smith of Easton, Pa. bought

Did Felix have rats? We should say
he did-the house was full of EN-!
And the cat cleaned 'em out! No;
that's the curious part of it. After the
cat had been on the job a week the
rats were as plentiful as ever. Felix

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired a jul
dicial turn Of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunlower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty favor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.

physical condition-as a preventive Of
disease it is beyond value. l have been
particularly impressed by the benefi-
cial effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities. my ex-
p%erience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-

Scott, kan.-kansas lost her
poet laureate when Eugene +. Ware
died at his summer home in Colorado

brightest geniuses.
Ware, known as "~Ironquill," was a
harness maker, lawyer, politician and
poet. In the minds of his friends the
last should come first, but personally
he always belittled his ability as a
poet, and instead of being proud Of
his success he spoke d~isparagingly Of

He came to this city in 1867 and be-
gan to work at his trade as a harness
maker. A competitor was advertising,
SO Ware had to do the same. He went
his competitor several better by writ
ing his advertisements in verse. This
attracted attention and he went to To-
peka, where he wrote poetry and
studied law, keeping his identity as a
poet under cover. His explanation for
this was: Il was afraid people
