Hints for Good Cooks.

There is always one sure way to
tell when an egg is bad. Boil it soft
and then open with common case
knife or spoon. If it is bad, You
will not be LEFT long in doubt
A very good substitute for maca-
roni when company comes unexpect-
edly is white clothes line. 1t can be
cut up into any lengths desired and
boiled until quite tender. Then pour
on the melted cheese and the tomato
sauce and nine out Of ten guests who
have eaten home cooked rnacaroni be-
fore will not know the difference
salad dressing can be made of all
most anything. but the best imitation
Of the genuine can be manufactured
by taking two teacups full of gaso-
line, a pint of ammonia three table,
spoonful Of cod liver oil and a jigger
OF axle grease. 1t would take an ex-
pert to detect the fac that it was an
imitation.
Corned beef and cabbage makes a
dainty lunch for an afternoon tea. The
boiling cabbage gives the house q
homelilSe atmosphere and will pre-
vent the guests from staying too long.
Home made brown bread is always a
hseat. First mix your dough and then
mold 1t into nice round loayes. Your
husbands silk hat win make an ex-
cellent mold. If he hasn't got a silk
hat have him 80 to a banquet and
get one by leaving fifteen minutes
ahead Of the other guests.

NEEDED WORDS.

The omniverous English language
readily and remorselessly appropriates
any word from a foreign tongue which
may be needed to express some idea
or phase OF. an idea--or exigency of
speech-not already provided for in
its voluminous lexical resource. New
ertheless, with all it's wealth of vo-
cabulary, the English language is
lacking in exact Technology for some
of the most commonly used ideas.
For instance, there is no proper de-
scriptive term for the modern method
Of executing criminals by means OF
electricity. Newspapers have adopted
the words 'electrocute'' and electro
cution," but they are etymologically
Objectionable. They answer the pur-
pose, however, and as they have
found place in the dictionaries. they
will stand. But there is no single
word to designate the message trans
mitted by telephone. The public uses
telegraph" and telegram and "ca-
blegram," but we still have to say "a
telephone message" One word is
needed to convey that idea.
The word "marconigram" has been
coined, in honor of the inventor. to
mean "a wireless message" but it has
not come into general use. Some
times one says he has had phone, n
meaning a message by telephone But
that is far from a satisfactory term
as it confuses the message with the
instrument. Perhaps--if the contrac-
tion be allowed as polite English--it
would be better to say "phonograrn.' -

FRIDAY, MARCH /, 1912.
N, D. WEATHER REPORTS.

Some sensational newspapers like to
play up North Dakota storms. They
tell Of the high velocity of the wind
the mountainous snow banks--the ex-
treme depths to which the mercury
descends-and conclude with horrify-
ing tales of suffering and death.
Then there are real estate agents
who come to the newspapers and beg
that not word be said of the storms.
They would have the editors tell Of
balny breezes when the gales were
roaring--of delightful mosquito tenn
perature when the mercury was wad-
ding itself into the smallest amount
Sof space it could occupy. Then, if
some unfortunate got caught in a
storm and was frozen--there are men
an the state who would wish the news
papers to say the dead man had a
slight chilblain.
Somewhere between these two ex-
tremes is a correct position. The ed
itor or newspaper writer who magni-
fes the extent of a storm or cold
weather certainly does the state no
good
The man who seeks to have true
conditions concealed is making a
hopeless attempt at deception.
The government issues official rec
ords Of the temperature all over the
country. These are published in the
daily papers in every state. The ex-
aggerated stories are detected-as
well as those which seek to minimize
the severity OF the weather.
"A quarter OF a century ago-Fargo
boosters went without underwear and
wore linen busters instead of over
coats when the temperature was low
Just to deceive eastern homeseek-
ers The necessity-if any ever ex-
isted--for such exploitation is over.
The people of the United States
especially those of the states from
which North Dakota seeks settlers
have a pretty fair idea of the actual
conditions here. Neither exaggera-
tion nor deception have great deal of
effect.
North Dakota has passed the cru
cIal stage. The fertility of its soil
its healthy climate-its unlimited pos
sibilities are too generally recognized
and admitted to be seriously affected
by ordinary newspaper reports.
Telling the truth is not only a
christian and honorable accomplish
msnt---but it is also the best business
policy in the long run.

construction. Good roads appeal "a
the farmer. the merchant, the auto
mobile manufacturer. the general
manufacturer, the hotel proprietor,
the publisher, til batker--and to ev-
cry progressive citizen. Good roads
win benefit people Of all classes.
The farmer will benefit in many
ways. The value OF his farm will in
crease. He can raise more profitable
crops. Hauling will be easier and
cheaper. He can take advantage OF
the markets at any season. His
children can attend school for nine
months in the year. His family can
so to church regardless Of the wealth
er. His physician, too. win be in close
touch. His boys and girls viii stay
on the farm. There will be better
mail service--more social life-and
happier conditions all around.
Good roads will enlarge the trading
radius OF the merchant-making it
possible for more purchasers to reach
him every day in the year-thereby
increasing his sales.
Every mile of improved roads means
a greater demand for pleasure and
commercial cares, increases the de-
sires and the power to purchase au-
tomobiles.
Good roads mean increase in agri-
culture, commerce, manufacture, de-
positors, deposits, dividends-they
mean prosperity, comfort enlighten-
ment education and the raising of the
standard OF morality.
The public highway should be as
free as the air--and as solid as the
streets of city. 1t costs something
to have good roads--but they are
worth the money. 1t is the best in
vestment that a people and state
can make.
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1912-03-01
FOR GOOD ROADS.

North Dakotans are greatly inter-
ested in the good roads movement.
Two measures enacted by the last leg
islature will help. One provided that
auto license fees should be expended
on Highways This seems eminentIy
fair-for good roads are of paramount
interest to the autoists as well as the
farmers.
Another measure was enacted that
gave the county commissioners power
to appoint road supervisors. The mis-
take by the members of the Iegisla-
ture was in the failure to make this
compulsory. With supervisors in ev-
cry county there wouId at least be
some method and system-with an en-
tire county-rather than a part Of one
township-as the unit. Later on the
different county supervisors would
adopt a statewide system.
Legislation compelling the payment
Of all road taxes in actual cash failed
but MISUNDERSTANDING that instead
Of the old plan OF working out the
road taxes--is growing. Advocates
Of good roads expect much of the next
legislature.
Unprogressive citizens may protest
against the building of good roads on
account Of their cost. Progressive
communities have found that what
ever may be their cost--good roads re-
pay to all classes many times the
money and the labor required to build
them.
IN those sections of the country
where the people have provided them
selves with good roads it has been
found that all property values have
advanced asa result--and that many
advantages have presented themselves
to the reople Of those sections.
State aid should he given for road

STRENUOUS POLITICS.

A hot fight for the presidential
nomination in both of the great par
ties--a hotter fight for the election
are now certain.
There is no possibility that in eth
er party the nationaI convention will
meet and do its work--without hard
hitting and much bitterness of feel
ing. Still less is it imaginable that
the final campaign before the people
shall be easy-going or even moderate
The basic reason for this tense situ-
alton in national politics is the sharp
divisions in public sentiment regard
ing issues of real and pressing import
ance. The antagonisms between par
ties-and between factions in parties
deal with questions that go down to
the roots of free government. Feeling
runs high because the problems which
have crowded to the front are deer
and vital.

of Mr., and Mrs. John Beck, is con-

When other smokin gives you pain
Just try Pride Of the Gravel Train.
