The Essential Facts,

Carefully Analysing all of Mr. Roose-
velt's various statements in regard to
the Standard Oil contribution, we
find the facts to be essentially as fol-
lows:
1. The Standard OIL company new
er contributed to his campaign fund.
2. II the Standard OIL company did
contribute 100000 to his campaign
fund he never knew about 1t.
3. AS soon as he heard OF the
Standard OIL company's contribution,
he ordered the 100000 returned.
4. The money was not returned,
but II it had been returned Frick of

the deficit.

more palatable supper, the following
may prove suggestive:
Cream Lobster on Toast.-Make a
well-seasoned white sauce, using
cream instead OF milk; remove from

and a dash of paprika. Serve on OBJ
long pieces of toast. Any fish could
be used for this dish and would per,

nuts and mayonnaise.
For a simple supper dessert there is
nothing nicer than sponge cake with
fruit. 1t may be served baked in
forms or cut in squares with the fruit
and strip poured over and served with
whipped cream or served as cake with
a dish of the fruit.
Surprise cake.-A most delightful
cake is just the simple cup cake baked
in muffin pans and when cold are cut
open and some of the inside removed
then filled with whipped cream

thick sugar strip in the center OF
sailed cracker and press the animal
cracker in a standing position; It will
soon be firm. The children love these
crackers, and they are better for them
than too much cake.

FATTENING SURPLUS
STOCK OF CHICKENS
Dealers Find No Difficulty in Iis-
posing of Well Fleshed Fowls
One Good Ration.

There has been a good demand for
well-fed chickens this season. The
dealers find no difficulty in disposing
of large quantities of we'll fieshed
chickens. but the poor or thin chick
ems, or those off the range, have found
very poor market Last years ex-
perience taught the dealers that this
class of stock is very hard to dis
pose OF at a profit, and many dealers
lost considerable money on the thin
chickens they handled, consequently
this season they are buying ordinary
stock at low prices. The difference
paid by some dealers between stock
as It runs and properly fed birds has
been from five to seven cents a pound.
good ration for fattening chick
ems is composed Of equal parts by
weight of corn chop. low grade -four
and middlings. This is mixed with
sour milk or buttermilk to the con-
sistency of pancake batter. After
the birds are put In the fattening
crates they are starved for twenty
four hours. So that when feeding
commences their appetites are very
keen.
AT first they are fed sparingly, but
after a few days the ration is gradu-
ally increased until they are given
all they will eat quickly in ten min
utes Two feeds are given daily, and
as near equal hours apart as pos
sible. Grit should be given once a
week. At the end OF the fattening
period the birds should be starved
from eighteen to twenty-four hours
before killing so as to make sure that
the crop and intestines are empty.
