SeasonabIe Soups.

With the excellent assortment of vege-
tables now on the market there should
be little trouble in selecting soup for
dinner. There are any number Of savory
vegetable soups made with a single vege-
table as the principal ingredient, or with
combination of these nutritious food
stuffs from the garden. An old-fashioned
vegetable soup embodies enough nourish-
ment in itself to eliminate the need for
an extensive dinner menu, and the home
table often Is lightly bridged over from
soup to dessert when vegetables are the
foundation Of the first course. Sons
good soup recipes are:

shin of beef. If the beef Is used it should
be partially cooked before the vegetables

Columbia, Mo-, February 1.-Rub-a-

The new course in scientific laundry
work was inaugurated today and
hereafter every student in the home

Most of the young lady students

CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION
Mayor A. G. Meyer Will Probably
Seek Another Term.

Mayor A. G. Meyer will most
likely be a candidate for renomi-
nation and reelection. That much
was intimated by Mr. Meyer today
when asked whether he would stand
for another term. Mr.. Meyer stated
that he would not object to another
term. He appreciated the honors that
the people have conferred on him by
making him the city's first chief ex-
ecutive under the commission form
of government.
Attorney Regain has announced to
several of his friends that he will
be a candidate for judge of the mu-
nicipal court. The plans of Mr.. Re-
gan will not stand in the way Of
Judge w. L. Comstock who has held
the position for several years. He
will undoubtedly be a candidate for
reelection.

ROAD WORK POPULAR
AMONG THE FARMERS
THOSE IN DISTRICT NO. 8, DE
CORA, DONATE TIME.
They Are Beginning to Realize That
1t Pays Handsomely to Improve
the Highways; Commercial Club
Aids Every Cause; Mankato Pays
One-Third of Tax, Receives Moth
in in Return.

The farmers in road district No.
,, Decora, have gotten the gravel
ing fever, and are planning TO donate
Il weeks work in hauling gravel.
and will commence the work at
once. They have found a fine gravel
pit, the owner of which donates all
the gravel they will haul.
Farmers are beginning to realize
that it pays handsomely to donate
a large amount of work in hauling
gravel. In this vicinity the hauling
of gravel in winter has become very
popular. 1t can be done at time
when there is no pressing work on
the farm, and there is little actual
loss to the farmer in donating a
week or two to gravel hauling. The
improved road over which he does
business the entire year at ma
terial saving TO his equipment, and
of his own time, with the ability
to haul his produce to market at
any time when price suits, is Of
great value.
Commercial Club Donates.
At the same time, the Commercial
club donates TO every move of this
kind, where the farmers are dOnar
ing n fair amount, though Of course,
the amount the club can spend is
small compared with the amount the
farmers donate, as it is contributing
10 quite a number Of roads. When
it is remembered that MankatO pays
one-third Of the road and bridge tax
OF the entire county, and that not
one cent of this tax is used in the
city, it is readily seen that in spend
ing money raised in the city on
country roads, the club is doing Il
very practical work in aiding the
farmers to improve the highways in
the vicinity. This winter has been
most favorable for doing this work,
and much has been accomplished,
but there is still time to do a
great deal more.
The rivers are SO low that many
gravel beds are available, which
are usually covered with water and
ice. 1t is to be hoped that many
more districts will show themselves
as enterprising as 'Decoria district
No. 3.

HELP NEEDED TO FIGHT
AWFUL WHITE PLAGUE
AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER
OF DEATHS.
DR.. n. M. Bracken, Secretary of the

Report in Which He Makes
Some Startling Statements;
Urges Corrective Legislation;
His Recommendations.

St Paul, February 1.-The year
tuberculosis in this state since 1904,
according to the report OF DR.. II.
M. Bracken, executive officer OF the
state board of health.
DR.. Bracken can offer no eXplana'
ton Of the increase Of 16G deaths
in the state from tuberculosis over
the 1908 total.
There was n time n few years
ago." he said, when the reports OF
deaths were incomplete, but during
the past five or six years the re.
ports have been fairly accurate"
The total number Of deaths in the
state for 1908 was 22,204, and in
1909 22,G03. The number of deaths
and in 1908, 2,161. The. rate mil
lion of ,129 for 1909 is equaled only
twice in the records OF the state
office. In 1904 ii was higher, 1,139,
and in 1890 il was the same as In
1909, the last year for which records
are available.
Millions Are Lost.
The deaths during 1909, estimated
on the standard of Professor Irving
Fisher of Yale, shows loss 10 the
state of $12,S44,000. This estimates
the possible earnings Of the sick, the
expense of nursing and the future
earnings if they had lived.
The report Of DR.. Bracken con
corning tuberculosis deals with the
history of attempts to fight it and
suggestions as to future efforts
along the same line.
He says that the disease is dan
gerous to others only in the last
stages of pulmonary tuberculosis

this time close association with the

New York, February What is
the duty of a lawyer in a criminal
case in defending a client he knows,
or has reason to believe, is guilty?
Is the sole duty of an advocate,
under such conditions, to the ac-
cused man whom he represents,
whose liberty he is bound to secure
by any legal hook or crook, or does
the lawyer also owe duty to
society? These questions will be
discussed tonight by George Gordon

sion is part of n series arranged by

ANTI-TREATING LAW
That Is the Aim of Representative
Putnam; His Measure.

Representative III. A. Putnam has
introduced an anti-treat bill in the
house. The measure forbids public
treating with intoxicating liquors.
This is made an offense punishable
by a fine of SIS to so for the first
offense, and $40 to 500 for the sec.
end.
His bill provides that the proprie-
tor must have prominently displayed
over the bar the sign, Public Treat
ing Forbidden by Law" The saloon
keepers also must see that the law
is observed to the letter.
The idea seems to be that many
are drinking at the expense of some
one else, and that by protecting the
liberal buyers consumption Of liquor
will be greatly reduced. Opposition
to the measure may develop before
the time for voting upon it is at
hand.
