jeliies. either plum or grape, are good

Jellies used In moderation are a great
help where lunches must be prepared.
Fruit prepared with sugar, as in
jellies and preserves, is not Of the same
value from medicinal standpoint as
the fresh fruits, but must rank with
CONNECTIONS. Jellies are not as objec-
ticnable as preserves, being decidedly
more digestible. For the delicate di-
gestion, however, they must be used
in the greatest moderation.

RAILROAD REACHES
BEYOND VASHTI
PASSING CARS PROVE MOST IN
TERESTING SIGHT TO THE
RESIDENTS THERE.

Vashti, NJ D., Aug. 1s.-The railroad
has been finished as far as Vashti and
the crew is working six or seven miles
west Of this place. The community is
much gratified with the passing trains
even If they are work trains. The
supply train Is running from Pingree
and carrying the necessary supplies
here, so the new road is much in use
and it is a welcome sight to the local
residents. The material yards have
been moved here for the present. Two
sidetracks are laid and they are full of
cars the most Of the time.
The census of Vashti is now about
900. The only regret felt here is that
1t is floating population and does
not represent a variety of business.

PRoPERTY-To IMPROVE PROP
ERTY RECENTLY PURCHASED.

The city park board held a most
interesting special meeting yesterday
afternoon. Not all the members of
the board were present, being out of
the city, and a number of affairs
which were discussed were not acted
upon because of the absence of these
men.
Chief among the questions thai
came before the park board was the
consideration Of the purchase of some
new lands. The board is going abo,,t,
In systematic way, to increase the
size OF the park property of the city
ana although no steps were taken
yesterday towards the purchase of the
additional property, it is probable that
at some future meeting of the body
the members will arrange to make a
purchase. The site Of the property
considered has not been given out
nor will 1t be announced until after
the deal has been consumated
The board yesterday prepared the
budget for the coming year. but moth
ing has been given out regarding It.
1t is within the power of the or
ganization to levy it's own taxes to
the extent of three mills for the pur
pose of keeping up the work of the
department. The levy will be en-
tirely independent of any city, county
or state levy
1t is the sentiment of the board
that the property recently acquired
lying along the river to the south
or town be placed in park condition
as soon as possible. With the OPEN
Ing OF early spring the board plans
to have erected along the border line
OF its territory a fence. Al road will
also be built in the new park addi-
ton as soon as the weather permits
and everything will be made as at
tractive as possible under the circum-
stances.

Will be pushed ahead and the poor
underbrush will be cleared away. This
park is nature beauty park and the
board does not intend to destroy any
Of the beauty with which the grounds
have already been endowed.
At the entrance Of the park grounds
permanent cement posts are being
erected. These are to take the place
Of the posts that were placed in po-
sition temporarily to close the drive
during the rainy weather. Large
signs have been placed in position for
use at the entrance OF the driveways
giving notice that they are closed be-
cause Of the rain.

nance regulating and providing for the

TO Cultivate Mamorv.

The best way to remember a thing
Is thoroughly to understand 1t, and
often to recall it to mind. BY reading
continually with great attention, and
never passing passage without un-
derstanding and considering 1t well,
the memory will be stored with knowl-
edge; and things will recur at times
when we want them, though we can
never recollect the passage or from
whence we draw our ideals.

Sending EMPTIES
FOR GRAIN CROP

Duluth, Aug. 1S.-The crops along
Great Northern railroad are in a very
satisfactory condition, according to d.
M. Philbin, general superintendent of
the Great Northern. The crops this
year in North Dakota. Mr.. Philbin
maintains, are good in comparison with
those of the average for the past five
years.
Both the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific have been sending
out empty cars to the wheat fields to
take care Of the shipments of grain,
a large amount Of which will come
to the head Of the lakes. The ship
ments of coal to the Dakotas have been
heavier he states, this year than for
the corresponding time last year, and
from now on the roads will be active
in the shipments of coal westward and
of grain eastward.

cold Ronsd Chicken.

There are a good many people who
find an entirely cold meal unsatisfac-
tory and, as they claim, indigestible. It
is hard to imagine that any dish eaten
with a plentiful dressing of olive oil
can prove indigestible. but 1t is perhaps
wise occasionally to add something hot
to the cold lunch or night meal An
appetizing dish is cold boned chicken,
the canned variety, served on lettuce
leaves and garnished with slices of
hot bacon, and often a cold meal is
better appreciated If it is preceded by
a hot, thin soup.
The American housewife has always
an abundance of ice, and there is such
a number OF excellent canned dishes
to be obtained in this country that
with q little thought hot weather
dishes should be varied and tempting.

Taft Selects Date For Ex-

CONFERRED WITH DEMOCRATS
During the Intervening Time They
Will Make Up Their Commit
tees and be Ready to Or
ganizs the House.

Washington, Feb. 27 - Tuesday
April 4. is the date finally set for the
converting of the extraordinary session
OF the SixV-secOnd congress.
In selecting this date, the presi'
dent took into consideration the sug-
gestions of Champ Clark, speaker OF
the next house, and Representative
Underwood, who will be chairman OF
the ways and means committee, which
will be also the committee on com
mittees. &
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Underwood told
the president that the time needed
for organizing the new house would
make a thirty-day interval between
sessions no waste of time.
The reasonableness of the argument
appealed to the president but in
adopting the suggestion Mr. Taft has
had to change his plans He will leave
Washington on March , for Atlanta u
address the southern Commercial con
gress. lie had expected to be back IN
Washington the morning of the l2th
but that was when he expected TO cal
congress to meet March 20.
Under the present arrangement the
president will so from Atlanta to Au
gusta. Ga. for a two weeks rest.
1t was at augusta that he spent
part of the winter after his election
and before his inauguration. In fact
Augusta has arrogated to itself the
title of the southern capital" and the
president never has disputed the
claim. He has been there twice since
and has encouraged the citizens IN
their southern capital" idea.

THE RATE DECISION

The decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission denying the
railroad companies, both East and
West, every relief asked for prom
ises, unless the unforeseen happens
70 prove a costly victory for the
shipping interests who opposed the
increases asked for. While it was
not expected that the commission
would grant the full increase IN
rates which the railroad companies
desired to put in effect, neither was
it expected that the application Tor
an increase would be rejected IN
toto. If the effect of this sweeping
decision of the commission shall, as
predicted, result in a period Of bust
ness stagnation by reason Of the
gripping of the railroads then, as
we stated above. the shippers victory
will prove costly. Business this year
started off much better and there
was every promise that the indus
trial stagnation of 1910 was about
over. but no man can now say with
any degree of certainty what this
decision will bring about. Outside
of the shippers directly concerned
we believe that the country at large.
including the vast majority Of the
shipping interests themselves, would
have preferred to have seen rea-
sonable adjudication of the rates IN
dispute. whereby the increases ask
ed for would have been scaled down
and allowed in part. OF course the
transportation companies will ADJUST
themselves to the new CONDITION
with which they are confronted by
reducing their purchases and per-
hans by reducing wages, all of which
win be a great drawback to the
prosperity of the country. They
will naturally appeal from Adhesion
the wisdom and justice Of which Is
doubtful, to the new commerce court
and ultimately, if necessary, to the
United States Supreme Court, but
all of this takes time and for year
or so at least they are up against the
decision of the commission. Only
time can determine its effect on the
country's prosperity, but one thing
is certain and that is that should
the decision really cripple the rail-
roads a period of business depres'
sion will result.
