Young AGE Pensions.

Young age pensions! Why not? IT.
ties, honors. riches, pensions and most
other good things are, as a rule. post
poned to period Of life when the ca
pacity for enjoying them has been
blunted. Australia was one of the
first countries to adopt old-age PEN
sions, and now Labor member of the
commonwealth parliament proposes a
complementary scheme of young age
pensions. He would start by pension
ing the fourth child at birth. The fact
that three had previously been born
showed that the parents were doing
their duty and deserving well of the
state. The young age pension would
reward industry and encourage the
birth rate. London Chronicle.

srape Fruit, PomeIo or shaddock.

Grape Fruit, PomeIo or shaddock.
This, fruit when first introduced,
was considered only as breakfast
fruit, but it is now so popular that II
is in demand for all meals and IS
served in such variety Of forms that
it seems to have practically no limi-
tations.
To serve for breakfast, the most
commosl way is to cut them across, re-.
move the tough fiber and seeds, cut
ting around the fruit next to the pup,
sprinkle with sugar and let Sand over
night to season.
A most delicious grape fruit salad
is made by removing the pulp care
fully in small sections, mix with white
grapes from which the skins have
been removed, a few bianched almonds
and a bit of celery, all served with
French dressing on lettuce leaves.
Grape Fruit sher5et.-Take the
juice of six grape fruit, add four cups
Of sugar and pint of water. Dissolve
a tablespoonful of gelatin and add to
the fruit Juice and sugar after 1t has
boiled five minutes. Cool and partly
freeze;- add two whites of egg well
whipped and finish freezing.
Grape Frult MarmaIade.-Cut on the
rind and boil 1t in salted water until
translucent; drain and soak in fresh
water two hours. Scrape out with a
spoon the white inner pulp and cut
the rind in thin strips. Add the rind
to the juice with. an equal quantity Of
sugar and cook until it jellies. about
an hour.
candied Grape FruIt.-Place the
rind in brine over night and put in
fresh water in the morning. Do not
leave until all the bitterness is drawn
out. Squeeze and strain the juice and
let stand over night with the sugar,
using pound for pound for the rind.
In the morning bring the rind to a
boil and simmer until tender and at
the same time cook the juice and
sugar to sirup.
When the peel is very tender, put it
into the sirup and boil until it cracks
In cold water. Lift the peels out
carefully with fork and lay on waxed
paper to dry.
If the bitter principle of the rind
is liked, 1t may be stepped and added
to the juice in making ice and sher
bets.

Texas Cattle History
Described in Munsey's

Robert j. Kleberg is large responsible
for the international reputation of
Texas as a great cattle State, writes
Forrest Crissey in The Munsey for No
vember:
"Kleberg looked upon the droves Of
old-type Texas longhorn cattle that
grazed on the great ranch. and asked:
why not raise butchers meat in
stead Of horns|
"'You can't cried his abutting ranch
crs. The longhorn is the only kind
that can stand Texas. Bring in blooded
stock, and the fever will get 'em-and
get you. too. If you go into the import
ing game deep enough"
"Kleberg brought in some thorough
bred 'white-faces' and Durhams. and
began his experiment. They died-but
in the course of time the Texas fever
tick was tracked to its lair by the per-
sistent watchfulness of this man OF
modern ideas; and being tracked, a
speedy and effective means of it's ade-
struction was devised. When Robert
Kleberg demonstrated that the tick, and
not the climate of Texas, was what
killed all the blooded cattle of the mod
ern beef type that had been brought
into the State, he established Texas
cattle-ranching on a scientific basis, and
added many millions of dollars to the
wealth of his State" -!

ANACOST|AN HAS
ORIGINAL ! PLAN TO.
OBTAIN TRANSFERS
He Would Have Citizens
Appeal to Magnates to
Make Voluntary Grant.

Urging the citizens associations in
Anacostia to press upon Congress the
Importance Of passing universal trans
fer bill, and calling on the managers
of the street railway systems to antici-
pate such action by Congress with a
voluntary agreement providing for
transfers. Maurice Otterback, treasurer
of the Anacostia Citizens Association,
today put In motion vigorous cam
paign.
Mr.. otterback's suggestion. at the last
meeting Of the Anacostia Citizens As
ISOLATION, favoring the naming Of a
committee to visit the officers of the
railway companies, and invite them to
listen TO the pleas of the residents OF
Anacostia and vicinity for the most
possible, by issuing transfers at
Eighth and G streets southeast. aroused
a lot of comment among the citizens OF
the southeastern suburbs.
How regretfui it Is" said said Mr. reo, OF,
who direct Washingtons street car
systems turn deaf ear to, the cry
OF the people for universal transfers.
These same men. whose names. APP
pear in the lists of institutions and es.
responsibility. are only too eager to
apply progressive methods and business
ideas in the conduct OF affairs.
The people of ,Anacostia must fight
street car transfer bill at this session
of Congress. Our section Of the city
has been sadly neglected, as far as
street railway facilities are concerned.
We have but one car line and very
poor one at that. We can reach only
less we pay more than one fare, and
