 Bran Gems
 q have observed at different times requests for recipes for making bran breads including biscuits and muf- fms. I send herewith formula for one kind which I have used to our entire satisfaction for several years. It Is very palatable and wholesome.
 BRAN GEMS, OR BISCUITS-One pint of bran. one-half pint of flour, one pint of milk, six tablespoons of mo- lasses, one teaspoon of soda, one tea spoon of salt. Mix bran, flour and soda together, then the molasses and milk Put all into gem pans and bake we'll This quantity makes IA biscuits.
 In making this kind of what may be aptly styled health bread one must, first of all, secure the cleanest and sweetest of wheat bran.
 Responsible firms dealing in cereals keep it. The housemother who contents herself with the sweepings of country mills will get as much dust and in- digestible husks as bran.

No Faith in Gomez

There has been some fear that during the six months intervening before the close of his administration General Go- meg would spare no effort to obtain leg islation tending to embarrass his suc- cessor. But, though the conservative leaders have no faith in Gomez, they are not especially anxious on this score, and, in fact, the president has already mani fested a desire to smooth the path of his successor by communicating to him the provisional estimates of the budget for the fiscal year beinnlng next June, with the assurance that he will be pleased to act on any suggestion General Menocal may make.

VERDICTS ARE
FILED BY CORONER

Coroner Pierce today filed two YER
diets in the county clerks office. one
on the death of Edna Wissler and the
other on the death of Seaffidin ALLY.
In regard to the wissler case, the
coroner stated that after examination
of the body and hearing the testimony
of witnesses. he found death due to re-
suits of drinking carbolic acid with
suicidal intent. The lips, gums and
tongue of the woman were fearfully
burned. Testimony showed that the
Mrs. Wissler was subject to periodical
depression and melancholia and also
that domestic difficulties had arisen
in the household which, according TO
the belief of witnesses, who were near
relatives, prompted the act Of self de-
struction. Her husband, Homer wiss-
Ter found her lying on the floor in the
kitchen shortly after s o'clock on the
evening of September Is.
Noise made by a westbound freight
train, prevented Seaffidin ALLY. an

Lesson i'm Scientific
Complexion Renewing
(From The Family Physician

Ut OIu nc dullly TuySlCldn)
Everyone has beautiful skin under
meath the one exposed to view Bear
that in mind and it will be easier to
understand the correct principle in &C
quiring lovely complexion. Nature
is constantly shedding the top skin in
flaky particles like dandruff, only
much smaller in size. In abnormal
conditions, or in advancing age, these
particles are not shed as rapidly as
in robust youth. The longer they re-
main the more soiled or faded they be-
come-that's the immediate cause Of
bad complexion"
1t has been discovered that ordi.
nary mercolized wax, to be had at any
drug store, will absorb these worn
out particles. The absorption, while
fastening Natures work, goes on
gradually enough to cause no incon-
venience. In a week or two the trans
formation is complete. The fresh,
healthy-hued, youthful underskin is
then wholly in evidence. You who are
not satisfied with your compilations
should get an ounce of mercolized wax
and try this treatment. Use the wax
nightly, like cold cream, washing it
off mornings.

A PUZZLE IN METALS.
Brass Has an Odor Yet Copper and
Zinc Separately Have Not.

Brass Has an Odor Yet Copper and
Zinc Separately Have Not.
Brass, as every one knows. has an
awful odor. yet the two things of
which brass consists, zinc and copper.
give no odor whatever in their sepa-
rate states. This is problem that has
given a great deal of work to scien-
lists. 1t is one as yet not entirely
solved. ..--'.-.. .~.'-.
To arrive at the general law it has
been found that almost all alloys. or
mixtures of two metals, will give an
odor, while the metals themselves do
not. Brass is not the single example.
though probably the most odoriferous.
The explanation is as follows: All
substances. including metals. are al
ways giving off small particles of their
substance to the air-that is. evaporat-
ing. Some solids give these Off so rap
idly as soon to disappear. Gum cam
phor is conspicuous example. To
smell any substance a particle Of that
substance has to tickle a nerve ending
in the nose. If a small particle of cop
per, we shall say, does this by itself,
no effect is noticed, but if a particle
of zinc and particle of copper strike
at the same time the effect is such as
to cause a perceptible impulse to the
nerve The chance for these two to
strike at the same time is given only
when they are intimately mixed in an
alloy.-New York Tribune.

CONGRESSMAN GRAY
IS HERE THURSDAY
Will Deliver Political Ad-
dress at Council Chamber
Halls Are Scarce.

Unable to rent a hall in which to
hold Democratic meeting, the local
Democratic workers were in despair
yesterday, but today the board of
works gave them permission to use
the city council chamber for d polit-
ical meeting Thursday night.
Congressman Finly Gray of Con-
nersville and w. B. Wilson of Penn
sylvania will be the principal speak
ers for the occasion. Other prominent
Democrats will make speeches outlin-
ing their political work for the fall,
and prospects for a large crowd are
bright.
District Chairman Charles Beck will
preside at the meeting.
Owing to the many meetings in this
city this week the Democrats were
unable to secure hall, and although
this is the first time the city coun-
Gil chamber has been used for a po-
litical meeting, the Republican ad-
ministration said it would be no more
than fair to give their opponents a
fair deal.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. 25.-The
spirit of the standpat Republicans
rose out of the apathy of the early
session of the state Republican con-
vention this afternoon, the delegates
rising to the jibes against Colonel
Roosevelt and his policies, contained
in the keynote speech of Temporary
Chairman Guthrie. and yelled derisive-
ly, hooted and Kissed every mention
of Roosevelts name. Delegates stood
on their chairs, shouting their denun-
citation of the Colonel, while Barnes
and Root looked out over the sea of
excited men and waved their handker-
chiefs with evident pleasure.
A few cheers for Roosevelt were
drowned in a storm of Kisses and
Temporary Chairman Guthrie could
scarcely make himself heard in the up
road. The hilarious demonstration
was further heightened by fife and
drum core bursting into rendition Of
Turkey in the Straw"
References to President Taft's re-
cord during his administration goad-
ed the delegates into wild demonstra-
ton In his favor.
The standpat leaders of the party
were manifestly pleased with this first
enthusiasm evoked during the conven-
ton.
After holding up Governor Wilson
as "a free-trader, radical and an op-
portunist," and assailing the Demo
cratic national platform, the temper
airy chairman devoted majority por-
ton Of his speech to roasting Colonel
Roosevelt and the Progressive move
ment. Mr.. Guthrie concluded as fol-
lows
The way to put an end to Roose-
veltism. once for all, is to demonstrate
that Republicans cannot be led astray
by any such scheme as Roosevelt is
now advocating. Whatever strength
Roosevelt now has is drawn from the
Tsdicals. socialists and anarchists who
heretofore have followed the banner of
Bryan"
