in dollars ana cents sufficient to main
tain our army and navy, double our
war vessels on the seas, deepen our In :
ternational water ways, pay for our
Panama canal and in 10 short years
wipe out our national debt, a sum too
Immense to comprehend. Mr.. Snyder
is OF the opinion that at least IS per
cent Of all sickness Is the direct or in =
direct result of irritating. stimulating,
intoxicating and poisonous foods that
we eat.
We haven't any way OF determining
whether this statement is actually
correct. but we must admit that some
thing Is radically wrong when we con-
slider the amount of sickness that con-
tinuaily exists in our midst and
the number OF infant and immature
deaths. Mr.. Snyder would urge that
this branch OF education be introduced
into every one Of our educational insti-
tutions and that our girls be taught
that 1t is a profession and an art in
stead of work that is mental in char
acter and a drudgery.
After spending about 30 minutes with
his remarks, he then began to demon
strate the five recipes that we're on
the program, one of which was blank ct
of steak. For this he used nice loin
steak cut about one inch in thickness
After 1t had been broilcd to perfection,
he took large, fresh oysters, which had
previously been washed, covered the
steak with the oysters, then seasoned
the oysters with salt, sprinkled them
with bread crumbs and added bits OF
butter, replaced the steak in the oven
long enough so that the crumbs were
delicately Drowned. The steak was
most tempting in appearance and SO
delicate and juicy that 1t would melt In
your mouth. He also gave directions
for making tough steaks tender. bu-
discouraged the idea of pounding meat.
Eggs were not on the program, but
he discussed how to cook eggs instead
of creamed carrots. remarking that It
was not really necessary to demon
strate the carrots, but made a few re-
marks in regard TO their value as u
wholesome and medicinal food. "Who
would have thought that 1t made any
difference how one boils an egg" one
woman remarked. But Mr.. Snyder
that It made a very great
deal Of difference and illustrated his
points very clearly. The audience went
away convinced that there was q great
deal to be learned about the proper
boiling OF eggs.
The surprise balls and shrimp sauce
solicited many compliments. The sur
prise balls are just a combination Of
mashed potatoes, eggs and oysters.

cottolene. At this point. lady asked
Mr.. Snyder why he favored cottolene
and he answered that he considered
vegetable fats much more wholesome
and much easier digested than animal
fats and that cottolene was tho best
product on the market according 10
analysis. Not only docs Mfr. Snyder

$4,000 The general market is 10 to 25
cents higher than a week ago, as the
demand has been strong from all
sources. Shipments to the country IN
four days amount to $4,000 cattle, and
outside killers have bought heavily
this week. Local packers have killed
more cattle in the last two weeks than
any similar time this fall Buyers
seem to think that native pastures
have shot their wad for this season,
and the large proportion Of trash bears
out the theory. The preponderance of
low grade cattle also indicates that the
country Is being scraped down close in
cattle, in response to the magnetic in
flueDce of high prices. Opinion il shap-
Ing itself more favorably toward the
market on fed cattle this season, while
nobody can be found predicting loss
of money on hogs this season. Prime

WROTEAH HISTORY
And Mentions the Democratic
Era of 1893 to 1897

In his History of the American
People" Governor Wilson says Of the
democratic free trade period from
1893 to 1897;
"A great poverty and depression
had come upon the western mining
regions and upon the agricultural
region of the west and south. Prices
had fallen. Men of the poorer sort
were idle everywhere. and filed
with a sort Of despair. All the large
cities and manufacturing towns
teemed with unemployed working
men, who were with the utmost
difficulty kept from starvation by
the systematic efforts of organized
charity. Not until the year 1897,
when the republican administration
came in did the crisis seem to be
pest"
This was written when Professor
Wilson was recording history as it
actually occurred and long before he
had any thought of being a demo-
cratic candidate for president. This
was written when he vet felt some
pride in the part he had taken in
redeeming the country from the

STATE AUDITOR
DENIES CHARGES
Rejected State Accounts Mere
Technical Routine

Pierre, S. ID. Oct. 26.-That he
has never made any charges Of at
tempts to loot the state treasury on
the part of heads of state institu-
tons and others; that many claims
have had to be rejected because of
technicalitles, only to be paid later
when they we're submitted according
to the form which prevaile in the
state offices or when drawn upon the
proper appropriation, and that peo-
pie have come into his office, exam
ined the records and then published
whatever they saw fit these state
ments in substance constitute the
answer State Auditor II. B. Ander-
son makes in the form of an open
letter to the public Of the charges
hurled out by unfriendly newspa-
pers with the view of discrediting
or impugning the state administra-
IiOIi dilu itS dppOiitCSS.
A Pierre newspaper, the "Dako-
tam, published a long list of reject
ed claims against the state which it
clai ned had been saved to the state
by the watchfulness of MI Anderson
implying that but Tor the alertness
of the auditor, the treasury would
have been looted by means of fraud
ulent claims against it. Mr. Ander-
son repudiated the implication of
the Pierre paper. He also credits
Attorney General Royal C. johnson
with rendering every possible as
sistance to him in deciding upon the
technical status Of the claims pre-
sented and praised Mr. Johnson's
advisory aid.
Mr. Anderson said here this week
that had the Pierre paper first sub
mitted its article he could, and
would, have shown it's editor from
the auditors books that more than
80 per cent of the claims published
as having been rejected. had actual.
ly been paid and that many more
had been provided for by the def.
cheney certificates.
1t is the opinion about the capitol
and among people following politics
that the auditor bv issuing his state.
ment has completely put to rout q
plot to discredit the republican adj
m~inistration. The charges have
come in the man, by way of insinu-
atoms published in democratic news
papers and two or three former Taft
republican papers which have turn.
ed to the democratic party as a
means of rebucking the progressive
element in the party.
