bakers unless the bakers product is
priced out of reach; and then the
high-priced bakers stuff is most likely
especially made by hand.
1t is only when the home cook tries
to be too economical, uses too much
baking powder or soda, is lazy or care
less, that her baking is on par with
the average priced bakers product. If
she provides rich pastries and cakes,
Serves hot biscuit and bread, and in
her pride of cooking paves the road
to dyspepsia, she is simply competing
with those bakeries which make spe-
cialty of furnishing just such things at
elevated prices to those who desire
them.

MOTHERS BREAD.


Mothers bread isn't 1T to eat, de-
clares the president of the Nation
al Association of Master Bakers.
Home baking, he contends, is alb
solutely poison to the people who
eat IL, and women who feel it their
duty to feed their families with home
made bread. biscuit and cakes are
really doing an incalculable amount
Of harm to said family
To illustrate, the president of the
Y. A NJ. B. told how he had cut into
a loaf OF home made bread and found
the center of 1t unbaked.
OF course, he recommends that, to
be healthy, one should eat only the
products of sanitary bakeries.
Now, It is undoubtedly true that
some home cooks are careless and IN
intelligent
More than one family has been fed
On soggy bread and fallen" cake. to
say nothing of biscuit that is mostly
baking powder, and pie that's a crime.
In their haste to get done with the

cooks viii throw things together In
way that VIII result in a semblance of
something edible, barely giving it time
to bake halfway before considering it

taste for rich cakes, puddings and pas
tries, the home cook does her best
to provide indigestibles TO tickle the
palate.
And then a lot of mothers wonder
why it Is that father and the children
are always complaining about feeling
under the weather" why dyspepsia
seems to be a family trait, and why
all the money has to go out In doctor
bills.
The woman too lazy to cook prop
erly for her family, will probably al
ways be with US. But the woman who
lacks knowledge concerning the best
ways to prepare foods for family con-
sumption is rapidly becoming a minus
quantity.

Is being taught in the public schools.
The government has sent out cooking
experts to teach farmers wives sani-
tary and wholesome cooking. The
colleges have installed courses in
cooking. Private classes in cooking
abound everywhere and are well pa

The day of unintelligent cooking is

homekeeper nowadays who doesn't

What Kicking Has Done.
From the Omaha News

FROM the Omaha News.
Woodrow Wilson says, "IIverything that
has happened in history has happened
because a large humble of men Kicked
1T is we'll to remember this fact, because
it reminds us that the humblest citizen
can perform a civic service. There IS no
man so weak, so powerless, that he can
not kick.
SO kick and keep on kicking whenever
things seem not to be going right. Others
will follow your example, and some day
when the majority has started to kick the
kick will make good.
But don't kick with both feet at once,
and don't kick just for the fun of kicking.
Kick when you think you are right. and
quit kicking when convinced that you are
wrong.
And don't kick and let it go at that.
Kick and then put your personal living
back OF the kick. Back it up with the
spirit of your life and work.
Don't kick just to knock something
over, but rather to clear the way for a
new building. And as soon as you get the
chance to build, realize that the time for
picking has passed. and rest the boot and
grab the trowel.

RAILROADS FAVOR
GOOD ROADS WORK
Officials Of Various Lines Lend
Encouragement to Those
Laying Out Highways.

Richmond. Va.-Special: The most
surprising feature of the road building
and Improvement movement that is
sweeping Yer the United States is the
part that is being taken in it by the big
railroads of the United States, espe-
cially those of the south.
With a farsightedness that might be
studied with profit by all other corpora
ticns and individuals, the railroads are
doing all in their power to aid the
pect immediate returns on their in
vest1nent, but they are aware that inn
proved roads Will increase the COM
merce of the United States and that
the railroads cannot fail to benefit.
w. W. Finley, president of the South
ern Railroad COMPANY, has taken the
lead in the road movement in the
south, and was one of the original or
ganiZers of the American Association
for Highway Improvement, which is
now correlating and co-ordinating the
work of other road organizations and
will hold it's first convention and CON
2ress at Richmond November 20 to
"a.
b. +. Yoakum, chairman of the Fris-
co lines, is another railroad man who
has taken an active part in the road
movement.
Officials Will Speak.
1t is because high officials Of the gov
eminent realize that the effects Of a
system of good roads will be felt gen.
orally by all interests that the United
States office of public roads has been
throwing the weight Of Its influence to
the movement.
Most of the railroads that have been
working for the success Of the road
movement will be represented at the
Richmond Dad congress-. Railroad
presidents will be among the speakers
and they will explain frankly that
while they expect no immediate bene-
fits to their own business they are
aware that the road movement cannot
fail to improve the railroad business.
Good a enable the farmer to haul
his crops in all seasons of the year,
and this does away with the expensive
'empties" that bring about such a loss
to the railroads in the muddy sea-
sons.
Good roads likewise insure better and
bigger crops and more farms near the
railroads. This also adds to the BUSH
ness Of the railroads. From the stand
point of those who are Interested in
other forms of business. however. it
is a consoling fact that business
throughout the country, especially the
farmers business. must be improved
before the railroads can obtain any re-
turn from the big Investments they
are making in road improvement.

The Needs OF Puppydom.
From Outing.

Growing pups need three things
food. room and sunlight. When first
weaned. they should be fed milk, gruels
and soups five times q day and the
number Of meals gradually lessened
and the amount of solid food gradually
increased till at a year old they are
fed the same as their older kennel COM
panions. The more room puppies have,
the better they are. This is probably
the reason that puppies farmed out al
ways do much better thai those kennel
raised. They may get all sorts of food,
and they certainly DO not get the at
tention given the ones in the kennels.
but a farm-raised youngster Is always
healthier. bigger, and stronger.
Sunlight acts on puppies as it does
on growing plants. Winter pups are
proverhially more troublesome than
those born in the spring. Most fanciers.

AUTO LIGHTS MAKE
DEER EASY VICTIMS
Hunters in Maine Drive Through
Woods and Have Easy
Shots at Animals.

Bangor, Me.-Special: The automo-
bile has become a factor in the hunt-
ing Of big game in the Maine woods,
n one that is increasing from year
to year. The use Of the gasoline ear
riage not only enables the hunter to
cover greater distances in q briefer
period than he could otherwise do. but
1T also affords him the opportunity OF
killing the game without any of the
exertion which goes with the chase, as
he can often times kill a deer without
having to leave the seat of the auto
mobile. In many sections of game land
the woods are traversed by highways
or wood roads that are accessible by
the automobile, and in this way the
traveller often encounters deer. espe-
cially in travelling after nightfall.
1t is said that many deer nave been
killed at night in the present season.
The bright and dazzling lights which
are carried by automobiles will illumin-
ate a wooded roa for some distance
and bring into the range of the hunt
er's vision any animal that happened
to be near. Deer are dazzled by these
lights. and stopping to gaze in wonder
on the strange sight. become an easy
victim to the hunter. This is really
lacking" deer on a large scale, but
there is no law on the statute books
that will will cover it at present and
therefore it is the opinion of those
familiar with the game laws of the state
that there Is nothing to be gained by
prosecution.
Lights Aid Hunters.
In this connection, however, there is
one feature which can and probably
will be stopped, and that is the Jack
ing" of deer by some of the automobile
parties in the strict parlance of the
term, complaints of which have been
made by the wardens to the officials
,of the commission of inland fisheries
and III The assertion is that the
automobile hunters remove the lanterns
from the cars and use them in hunting
deer at night.
This method is regarded as "jacking"
deer, n will be punished as such, it is
said, whenever sufficient evidence can
be obtained to warrant a prosecution.
The commissioners nave instructed the
Wardens to keep a sharp lookout for
this particular class OF men. with a
view of stopping the practice if possible.
1t is also the opinion of the commits
sioners that the use of the automobile
is responsible for the increased number
tridges are not wild in the game re-
gions Of the northern part of the state,
and it is an easy matter to ride along
In an automobile and get a shot at the
birds from the roadside. It does not
take a great while for three or four
good marksmen in an automobile to
bag all the cartridges the law allows
in q single day. Under the present
law the number of cartridges which
can be killed by n person in one day
is Is. but it is probable that the law
will be changed, reducing the number
to 10.
