Ready Money In East

There's more money in sight in
the east for investment now than at
any time in the last two, and possibly
three years." said George H. Ellis, Jr.,
who has just returned from several
weeks trip to New York, Boston and
other Atlantic coast points, this morning.
Eastern capitalists are satisfied with
a moderate interest if the security is
good, today. There is stronger spirit
OF inquiry as to western fruit lands than
have noticed on any previous trips
east.
New England is great center for
capital, you know. l met 25 or 80
men in Boston who are already owners
of land in the Okanogan country, and
as soon as it was discovered that I was
possessed of several = years familiarity
with this section, | was overwhelmed
with inquiries by many others. Here
I find in my mail, on returning home,
another inquiry from Boston firm as to
fruit lands in the territory north of We
natchee.
New Englanders are eager TO find out
all they can about this country, and
they are willing to invest and will be
satisfied with four, four and hall and
FIVE per cent interest on their invest
ment. That's good interest back there.
Newspapers on the Atlantic coast
are giving wide space TO the northwest
this year. All in all, look for bet
ter year for this country than we have
had since the so-called panic of 1907.

Doctor vs.. Editor

If an editor makes a mistake he has
to apologize for it, but if the doctor
makes a mistake he buries it. If the
editor makes one there is a law suit,
swearing and the smell OF sulphur, but
if the doctor makes a mistake there is
a funeral, cut flowers and a smell OF
varnish. A doctor can use a word a
mile long without knowing what it
means, but if the editor uses it he has
TO spell it. If a doctor goes to see
another mans wife he charges for his
visit, but if the editor goes TO see
another mans wife he gets a charge of
buckshot. When a doctor gets drunk
it's a case of Overcome by heat" and
if he dies it is heart trouble. When
the editor gets drunk it's a case of too
much booze, and if he dies it's case
Of delirium tremens. Any old college
can make doctor. You can't make
an editor-he has to be born.-San
Francisco Newsletter.

CANDY FOR THE
LITTLE FOLK

A SMALL amount of pure, wholesome
candy is good for the little folk,
and when made at home from tested
recipes such as the following the sweet
is not injurious:
Popcorn Candy.--Make a common
molasses candy. Grind nicely popped
corn in coffee mill or meat chopper.
and when the candy is ready to be
taken from the fire stir in as much of
the ground corn as the sirup will hold.
Pour into a buttered tin and when
slightly cool mark off in squares.
Pulled Candy.--Take a pound of
granulated sugar and about a cup and
a third of boiling water Boil until
quite thick and test in ice water. Then
add one quart of New orleans mo-
lasses, one tablespoonful of butter and
two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and boil
until the mixture will harden in ice
water. Stir in small half teaspoon
full of soda and then pour into butter
ed tins to cool. When II can he ham
died grease the hands with butter or
moisten them with ice water and pull
the candy into long white strips. Cut
some in finger lengths. Braid II or cut
in inch lengths and twist up in colored
oiled papers.
Applen on a Stick.-These give all day
pleasure to any candy loving child.
Choose small tart apples that will not
cook soft quickly. Stick a wooden
skewer or slender stick in each and
coat them in the following sirup:
Boil two pounds of brown sugar with
just enough water to dissolve until 1t

them by resting the stick close to tie

Treatment of
COrnS and BuniOnS

TT is a strange and much to be de-
plored fact that but few women pay
sufficient attention to the care of their
feet. Many who are most particular
about the proper mapicuring of their
finger nails fail to realize that pedi-
cure Is of as great importance in their
daily toilet as manicure and that the
Irritation and discomfort caused by
corns, bunions and ingrowing toenails
are detrimental both to their health
and general nervous system. To treat
a hard corn successfully a sharp knife
should be used TO pare away all the
hard skin, commencing at the outer
edge and working toward the center.
No rough edges should be left To
prevent this an emery board may be
gently passed over the surface, but
great care must be taken while using
the knife that It does not cut the skin
and draw blood. When the surface is
perfectly smooth rub ,httle vaseline

tiny hole in the center to At the corn.
Continue this treatment every other
day until cured. To remove a soft
corn soak the feet In warm water and
after drying thoroughly rub a mixture
of equal parts of oxide Of zinc and
vaseline upon the corn. then place a
pad Of cotton wool between the toes.
This should be done for two or three
days The portions of hardened cuticle
which cannot be cut away may be re-
moved with a pair of tweezers. After

NE may say all kinds Of un-
n complimentary things about
the costumes for street wear
this winter, but the evening
gowns and wraps are charming things.
and to modish costumes of this kind
the unbiased critic will take off his hat
TO Nine la Mode.
In spite of all the reckless extrava-
gance of evening dress IT is possible
to be gowued according to the last
word at comparatively small expense.
The lowered white silks, for instance,
made up on empire lines, need no trim
ming beyond a bit of lace, gallon or fur
trimming on the bodice, and the
oaangeable taffetas ovcrhung with
