NO STORE TOO SMALL.

little storekeeper, when ap-
preached for advertising space in a
daily newspaper in a nearby town,
replied that he did not care to ad-
Vertise because his store was too
small. A little inquiry from the So
,llcitor found that the man had neV-
er advertised, never enlarged his
store and had about the same line of
goods he had when he started Is
years ago. He was a college gradu-
ate, had a long experience in a good,
modern store before he started in
business for himself, but seemed con-
tent with the business that he had.
Whether he was making more than
living didn't seem to bother him.
Across the street was a pretenti-
Gus three story building, holding a
large department store, which was
even then planning to enlarge it's
building.
The owner of that store was also
a college graduate, and college
chum of the man with the little
store. He started his business at
the same time with the same train
ing, and with about the same capi-
tai, it is said, as his friend across the
street. The department store own
er advertised. He used every news
paper within a radius of 10 to Is
miles, and soon had so much trade
that his store was too small, and he
had to enlarge. Later other en-
largements were necessary, but he
did not seem content with the vol
ume of business his advertising and
good business methods had built up.
He still advertises and now has the
patronage and the respect of large
clientele of buyers. He drives his
own automobiles and takes long va
cations at expensive seaside resorts
besides being Independently rich, and
having large income from his
store business.
Nc. store is too small to advertise.
Careful attention to business, a clean
well-arranged and good stock, and
an advertising appropriation in ac-
cordance with capital invested and
business success is sure.

Chicken is one of the harmless
not weather meats. There are so
many ways of preparing it that it
can be served frequently without
becoming wearisome to the palate,
always eager for a change. Chick
en- a la Baltimore is one of the fa-
vorite Southern recipes.
CHICKEN A LA BALTIMORE
Prepare as for broiling; then cut in
to joints, wipe dry, season well with
salt and pepper, dip into beaten egg,
then roll in fine bread crumbs
Place in a we'll buttered pan; pour
olive oil or melted butter over it and
bake in steady oven for twenty
five minutes. When tender remove
to hot dish. Make a good cream
gravy to pour over the chicken and
serve with corn fritters and thin
slices of crisped bacon.
CORN FRITTERS-To a cupful
OF fresh corn pulp cut from the ear
allow a half cup cracker crumbs
mixed with half cup of milk Add
two eggs, whites and yolks beaten
together, and season with salt and
pepper. Have ready a very hot
spider or pancake griddle we'll greas-
ed with butter and drop in the bat
ter a spoonful at a time. When the
fritters are brown on one side turn
to the other that they may be we'll
cooked through. Four minutes will
make them golden brown.
SEASONABLE PEACH PUDDING
Cut into small pieces pint of ripe
yellow peaches. Mix with one cup
of milk, one pint of flour, a half
teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoons
fuls of baking powder, two table
spoonful of butter, the yolks of two
eggs and a half cup of sugar. When
mixed to a smooth batter add the
beaten yolks Of the eggs and bake
Serve with hard sauce.
RECIPE FOR HARD SAUCE
Cream together one-half cup of but
ter and one cup of sugar Add the
white of an egg beaten to a stiff
froth and flavor with vanilla. The
secret of good hard sauce lies in the
creaming process, which must be
greatly prolonged to secure best re-
suits.

WHEAT SMUT.

Smut in wheat is probably the cause
of more damage next to that of the
Hessian Fly to this staple crop of
the State. Like the damage of the
Hessian Fly its ravages can be
avoided by taking advantage of
methods well-known to science. This
is done by destroying the spores of
smut on seed wheat according to
the following procedure as outlined
by II. A. Surface, Economic zoolo-
gist of the State Department of Ag-
riculture, in his reply to a cores
pondent:
Replying to your letter asking
for formula for treating seed wheat
for Smut, l beg to say that this is
not difficult operation, and will be
effective if undertaken. 1t is not
expensive, and it requires no great
skill or knowledge to do 1t proper
ly. 1t is really impossible to fail
in this regard if directions are fol-
lowed in this brief article.
Smut, as you know, makes the
black heads of wheat and oats, and
is often responsible for the loss of a
very large percentage of the crop,
which sometimes amounts to fully
one-half of the entire crop. Since
lhlo 10 81 easily anu CuOdply pre-
vented, there is no excuse for a
farmer losing his wheat or oats from
this trouble.
The treatment consists in soak
ing the seed with a solution of the
liquid known as formalin or for
maldehyde. 1t can be purchased
from druggists by the pound in
liquid form. In commercial form it
consists of forty per cent. of for
maldehyde in an aqueous or watery
solution. 1t is a strong germicide
and preservative. One pint of this
solution in thirty gallons of wa
ter is enough to destroy the Smut
germs, and also the Scab germs of
potatoes and other kinds of germs,
when it comes in contact with them.
There are two methods of
treatment: One consists in putting
the grain inte sacks, and setting
this into a barrel containing the
thirty gallons of water, with the
pint of formalin in solution in it.
1t should be lifted up and down oc-
casionally, to be sure that the liq-.
uid will penetrate and come in con-
tact with all the grain. A few min
utes soaking is long enough at
time. The grain should then be
emptied on the barn floor on clean
spot, and spread thin, and allowed
to dry, being shoveled over OCCASION
ally.
1t can be treated at any time
before sowing, if it is kept clean af-
ter treatment, but the best plan is
to treat it just before the time for
sowing, and if it does not get dry
rapidly enough the drying can be
hastened by busting a little slaked
lime over it. The best plan, how
ever, is, to dry it by opening the
barn doors, and letting the wind
blow through, and using a shovel to
stir it occasionally"

When courtin' Sal | went;
The parlor where so many
Delightful hours were spent;
The good old horsehair sofy,
The crayon portraits, too,
Which stared so impolitely
AS crayon portraits do;
The what-not in the corner
Filled up with ancient junk,
The stuffed owl on the mantel

When courtin' of your gal,
And life was simply heaven
When ] was wooin' Sal.

Has held for quite a while.
The horsehair sofy's missing,
The crayon portraits, too,
We're living in apartments
With modern stuff clear through.
The stuffed owl is not with us
Perched up above the gate;
We have no corner what-not,
For we are up-to-date.

This is the season for softening
the face and neck with lace collars

good.

From the heart of a great import
ing house comes the information
that many new skirts for fall are
showing bunchings or drapings
in the edges of the cores, some of
the bunchings being at each slit of
the front, or below each hip, or at
the back-quite in the old-fashion-
styles of decade long since past
The cordeliere that was brought
out on house gowns last Summer
is now widely taken up for all man
ner of frocks. 1t is only suitable
for those with the high waist line.
The newest Interpretation of it is
series of heavy cords covered with
silk or satin; placed close together,
and finished at the side of the front
with irregular ends.
A style that seems to be passing
out is the short skirt for evening
wear One sees small trains on
number of new gowns. These are
not like the queer little dabs of sat
in or velvet that were brought out
last fall, but the skirt which is
elongated into a square width at the
back, which lies on the floor, is the
one which is being taken up by the
smart women.

THINGS GOOD TO EAT.

A good sauce is almost indispensa-
| BILE to the finished taste of some
| meats. Any number of these condi-
ments are employed by the cook to
add flavor to the meat, and so skill
fully are they prepared that the en-
tire taste of the dish depends upon
the selection of the sauce. Dreaded
veal outlets with tomato sauce is a
favorite on many tables.
Dreaded VEAL OUTLETS
tender veal into four-inch squares,
wipe dry and season. Beat an egg
in one dish and have rolled cracker
crumbs in another. Dip the outlets
in the egg, then in the crackers and
put into enough hot fat to about
cover the outlets.
TOMATO SAUCE-BroWn in a
quarter of a cup of meat drippings
and butter half of an onion, a car
rot, turnip and whole pepper, all
sliced Add a half pint of water,
boil ten minutes, strain, and add to
the stock half of can of toma-
toes and a teaspoonful of sugar.
Boil half an hour, being careful to
prevent scorching by frequent stir
ring, strain and pour over the meat.
This makes an excellent fish sauce as
we'll.
GREEN CORN IN CREAM-Cut
the corn from the cob, place the
cobs in boiling water, boil until ten
der, add a cupful of rice, then turn
the cut corn into the same water,
boil until tender, add a cupful of
rich milk, a spoonful of butter and
seasoning to taste. Allow to remain
on the stove three minutes longer,
and serve.

susPEnos NELSON SENTENCE
Young Man Will Be Given Opportu
nifty to Redeem Self.

Judge Pau this forenoon SEN
fenced John A. Nelson, the Mime
apolis tailor who passed out some
worthless checks short time ago
in Mankato, to the Saltwater peni-
Tertiary for an indeterminate period,
and then suspended sentence on con-
dition that Nelson conducts himself
I'm a manner above reproach in the
future.
In sentencing Nelson, Judge Pau
said that he was convinced that the
young man would redeem himself,
and that such a sentence in his case
would answer a better purpose than
sending him to prison. This case
ought to be lesson to him. IntoXi-
cation is no defense, for man has
no right to place himself in a condi-
ton where he does not known what
he is doing and then commit an
offense and claim that he did it with
out knowing it. This was the mans
first offense and the court would
rather save him than to send him to
prison.
In suspending sentence, the court
made an order placing Nelson in
charge of James Parsons, superin-
tendent of the Society for the
Friendless, of Minneapolis, who will
report whether Nelson continues
drinking or commits any other de-
hnquencies, in which case the sus-
pension of the sentence will be with.
drawn. Nelson is to report at the
opening of court, November 8, and
