which the present provision in the bill
does. Some Of the probable meat ana

objection he had to the Farmers Free list
as an amendment was that 10 unite reel
procitv and the Farmers Free list was TO
defeat both bills. He urged full dis

procity measure would be submitted to
the Senate. without irrelevant and preju-
dicial amendments for its patriotic con

The Lecture on Socialism

Miss Anna A. Maley, the Socialist
lecturer billed to speak in the opera
house Wednesday night, talked inter-
estingly for nearly two hours to large
and representative audience.
Miss Maley is ready and fairly good
talker. She does not rant and saw the
air, as many of the Socialist speakers
do. Her language is. temperate, and
argument sometimes convincing. That
she aroused considerable enthusiasm
and made some converts to her cause
is probably quite true. Under present
conditions, with such large dissatisfied
element in the old parties, and not
without good cause we regretfully ad-
nit, any plausible speaker can make
converts. AS an abstract PROPOSE
ton the Socialists appeal to the dissat-
isfed element is not without effect. If
you think otherwise wait until another
election comes around and you will
have an Illuminating light break on
your mental vision.
The editor of this paper is not So
cialist, but has no hesitation in saying
that some Of their grounds of complaint
are we'll founded. But whether their S
is the remedy for the ills on the body
politic-ah, there's the rub! Some Of
the best minds in the country are just
now giving considerable time to the
solution of this vexed problem of gov
eminent. Some very bright men have
gone over to socialism, while the largest
number are hesitating about giving un-
qualified Endorsement to a theory Of
government which the world has not
yet tried out.

EASY TO LIVE 100 YEARS
DR.. A. II. Stewart Thinks Science May Make
Most Men Centenarians

Most of the human race could live
beyond the century mark, instead Of
only a minority attaining that distinc-
ton, is the opinion OF DR.. A. H. Stew
art of Lawton, Okla, who contributes
an article to the current number of the
Medical Report of New York.
He starts right off, however, with
throwing doubt on the record of those
of the Methusela class and other early
inhabitants of this terrestrial ball, whose
longevity he believes to be founded
chiefly on fiction. Also he declares
the so-called law that fixes man time
on earth at three score and ten has no
divine authority"
we may" writes the physician with
an air of fnality, as we'll live hun
dred as fifty years.
1t is not surprising" he continues,
Since the new biological conception
of life and recent discoveries in sanitary
science place the chief responsibility Of
prolonging life, with certain limitations,
upon the individual and the community,
that there should be tremendous in
terest connected with the question of
the probable duration Of life."
He then plunges into a dissertation
on protoplasm and cells and the devel-
opment of vital force.
Although no law has been or prob
ably can be formulated" continues DR..
Stewart, after a discussion of Western
centenarians he has met, a wide range
of observation appears to indicate that
the sooner an organization reaches ma
turity the shorter will be its duration,
and that in many animals the whole
duration of life is five or six times the
period required for complete develop
ment. Thus, as man is from 20 to
25 years in reaching maturity, he should
live from 100 to 125 or 1870 years. That
even the greatest of these possibilities
has been exceeded by both man and
woman in many cases the records Of
centenarians abundantly prove. If the
vital force which comes with genetic
continuity is of the highest intensity,
and external relations are favorable, it
should not only be possible but highly
probable that instead of a very small
minority very large majority Of lives
could be extended beyond the century
mark"
DR.. Stewart declares, if the progress
of medical science continues, there is
no reason the average duration of hu-
man life, which is "a years, should not
be materially increased, both in this
country and Europe.

COOklNG-A HIGH ART
Troubles of Housewife Two Miles Above
the Sea Level

Housewives in the Rocky Mountain
region, and in other elevated portions
of the United States, are obliged to
solve a few culinary problems that do
not trouble women elsewhere.
For example, woman goes from an
Eastern city to live in one of the high
valleys of Colorado. She attempts to
make cake and quite naturally uses
the recipe to which she has long been
accustomed. The cake, instead of act
ing as it ought, flows over the side OF
the pan, covers the bottom of the oven
and tries to find its way out under the
oven door and over the kitchen floor.
What remains in the pan, instead of
rounding up, appears collapsed.
The trouble is not with the recipe
but with the atmospheric pressure,
which interferes with cooking in good
many ways. At sea level water boils
at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. At an
elevation of 1920 feet it boils at 210
degrees. At Denver, which is one mile
above sea level, water boils at 202 de-
grees. In the San Luis valley, at Del
Norte, which is 7750 feet up, it boils
at 1877 degrees. At Leadville, which
is nearly two miles above the sea, it
boils at 1913 degrees.
How is the housewife to boil an egg
at Leadville? The answer is the thing
is hard to accomplish. At all events,
she must cook the egg some minutes
longer than the time customary in New
York or Chicago. 1t is not the fact of
boiling that cooks an egg, out the
number of units of temperature en-
ployed in the process; hence it takes
good deal longer to cook it at 1913
degrees than to bring it to the requisite
point of "doneness" in a surrounding
fluid medium of 212 degrees.
The trouble with the cake previously
mentioned was that the gas generated
in it by the baking powder was too
strong for it. At sea level there would
have been no trouble, because the
pressure of the air on the outside would
have been a sufficient restraint; but
the pressure up in the mountains of
Colorado being so much less, the gas
in the cake made bigger bubbles which
tended to run together, until the re-
naming walls were not sufficient to
sustain the weight. Then the cake
fell, the pent-up gas escaping through
assures in its outer layer. incidentally
to the process the gas, insuficiently
restrained, caused most OF the material
of the cake to overflow the sides of the
pan.
One naturally asks, What should a
woman do under such circumstances
1t is very simple. She should either
use less baking powder or increase the
tenacity of her dough by contributing
more albumen in the shape of an addi-
tional egg.
1t is worth remarking the variation
of the boiling temperature of water
with atmospheric pressure makes it
practicable to determine the height of
a mountain with the aid of a pot and
thermometer. In fact this method is
frequently adopted for ascertaining ele-
vations at high attitudes. Saturday
