The Benefit of Sorrow.


 By sorrow men learn that they need to be fed with higher food, that they must rest on stronger supports, that they must have other friends and oth- CT friendships, that they must live an- other life, that there must be some thing that neither time nor chance nor accident can undermine and sweep away. When men have learned the interior lesson of sorrow they look upon trouble not as being less trou- bleus than it was, but as, from the higher point to which they have risen, unreal and dreamy.-Henry Ward Beecher.
 He Knew.
 Willie, can you tell me what a vege- tarian is?''
 "A vegetarian is a person who lives on vegeta bIes,'' replied Willie. That is correct. Now, wonder who can tell me what an octogenarian is.'' 'I know replied Eddie.

Each recurring All Saints day. the

people of the city of Lisbon the most
awful event in the history of that coun,

NEW ELECTRIC TABLE STOVE.
An Electric Grill for the Table Which
Can be Used to Toast, Cook,
Broil and Fry.

I
! little electric device, combining
| both stove and utensils. which can
be used to cook, toast, broil, fry Or
/ for the making of griddle cakes, Is
the very latest. This new electric
grill is a combination of the cleo
i trio disk stove, the electric toaster
and the electric broiler, all Ia one
The grill, in neat design of nickel
steel, is only a few inches square
and can be used right on the dining
room table. A flexible cord connects
/ it with the nearest lamp socket and
at the turn of switch it gets req
| hot from coils of calorite wire which
| glow with electric heat. 1t costs but
six cents an hour to operate this
new device.
When the grill is red hot 1t is
simple enough to drop the toast on
the rack where it is quickly brought
to crispy brown, A space Is pro-
yided beneath the glowing coils fo1
the broiling of meats where the ra-
iiant heat quickly seas the flesh
and roasts 1t delightful brown; y
drip can catches the grease. The
stove is also fitted with recepta-
Gle for cooking and broiling. The
aluminium cover for this dish can be
used as spider when placed over
the hot stove and when turned over
IL is equally as efficient as an alum
mum griddle for making cakes,
III ii ir1nr-
es long, five inches wide and about
six inches high and yet 1t Is amply
big enough to cook complete
breakfast consisting of toast, cereal
bacon and eggs and coffee. OF course
the menu can be varied az viii
Steaks and chops can be broiled;
gridd1e cakes are easily and quickly
baked. In fact, anything can be
prepared on this little stove without
any other utensils, that could be
cooked over a single gas burner
The grill consists of a base which
is also a receptacle for the broiler
rack, the radiant stove. which is al
so the toaster; the cooking recepta-
Gle the size of the device, by by
9 u inches; the cover, which is also
the frying pan, and the aluminium
griddle.
The parts are all detachable SO as
to be easy to wash and keep clean
So simple is the device constructed
that the stove itself can be washed
and scrubbed without doing it the
ia
Unlike the chatting dish, the cleo
trio grill is not limited to use, 1t
can be employed in getting break
fast or lunch, and where there is
but one to eat, quite respectable
dinner can be cooked on it, II nee
essary. Bachelors and bachelor girls
will hail this new electrical device
with delight as it win enable them
to cook in the "kitchenette' TO their
hearts content and with this little
table grill they can prepare the very
best of food at a very nominal cost
The grill itself can be purchased
for less money than it would cost to
buy a disk stove and the devices
which are represented in this COM
bination outfit.

That Fiye-Doilar Proposition.

The Daily Light has on its sub
scription list a large number of sub
scribers who pay SIS in advance fo-
wears subscription. Those who
take advantage of this offer not only
save a dollar on subscription each
year, but they are not troubled with
collector during the time. One
thing in particular that we have no
ticed is that those who pay S. in ad-
vance almost invariably continue to
pay in advance, and few, if any, go
back to the 50-cents-per-month plan.

That Spanish peanuts and milo
maize are the two great future crops
for the southwest is the assertion
of Prof. H. NJ. Cottrell agricultural
commissioner of the Rock Island
railway.
PROT. Cottrell's territory covers
eastern Colorado, Kansas, New
Mexico, Texas, Western Oklahoma
and Arizona. He asserts that ten
pounds of milo maize have the same
food value for all purposes as nine
pounds Of corn and that the aver
age yield of milo maize for seven
years in the Panhandle country has
been 80 bushels a year. That gives
a food equivalent of 81 bushels of
corn Milo will become the standard
feed crop of the entire southwest, I
says Prof, Cottrell, and, combined
With peanut hay, it makes perfect
ly balanced ration for fattcnlng
both beef and pork for market. One
acre of milo, he states, will produce
an average Of 800 pounds of pork
each year, the oest states in the corn
belt will only average enough corn
to produce 400 pounds of pork to
the. acre.
1r-rru spanfsn peanut is legume
and like alfalfa, enriches the land
on which it is grown. The nuts con
tain 40 per cent of oil and more

cally equal to alfalfa for roughage
yields from one-half to one ton tc
the acre. besides a heavy yield OF
! nuts, and soils at price within 81
cents a ton of the best alfalfa.
Prof. Cottrell cites an instance in
which hogs were turned into the
peanut field to gather the crop OF
tops and nuts, and the net result
was 1,023 pounds of pork to the
acre. He believes that. with tn,
