THINGS TO BE MeERED.

Dear Editor and Social Sisters: It has been a long time since I wrote to you and so thought I would send in a little cheery word to the Sisters. Auntie: You may think Ksle is nice, but I don't believe I want any. Yes, I live northwest of Willimantic, but guess again.
 Hepatica: I think 1t a good thing in regard to having a Social Corner department at the county fair. I will exhibit, for one.
 Theoda: I quite agree with you about not eating lot of rich pastry, doughnuts and fried food. We eat lot of fruit and berries in their sea- son These hot days one must take care what they eat.
 Aunt Mehitable: I quite envy you your cool place out on Long Island. Why don't you try bottiing up some of the breeze spoken of and see the result? I spent eight days at the sea- shore not long ago and just enjoyed it. In washing summer fabrics, if you follow these suggestions the articles will not fade: In washing anything blue. put a handful of salt in the wa ter; green a lump of alum: gray or brown, a little OK gall; tan or linen good, hay water: reds and pinks, use 1 ing and trying. I wonder if the readers know that rice is the most digestible of all foods. A physician has stated the time re- quired for the digestion of rice, as | compared with some other foods: 1 Rice, boiled, 1 hour. l Apples, sweet and mellow, 1 hour and 30 minutes. l Tapioca, 2 hours. 1 Barley. boiled hours. | MIX, boiled. hours.
 MIX. raw, hours and IS minutes | Eggs, raw, whipped, hour and 30 minutes. 1 Eggs, hard boiled, 3 hours. Eggs, fried, hours and 30 min utes.
 Stewed oysters, hours and 90 min utes
 Roast beef, 3 hours and 30 minutes
 Fried beef, hours.
 Corned beef, f hours and 15 min utes
 Pork, roasted, hours and 15 min utes.
 Corn bread, hours and 15 min utess.
 Wheat bread. 3 hours and 30 min utes.
 Potatoes. Irish boiled. hours and 30 minutes.
 Potatoes, Irish, baked. Aeurs and 30 minutes.
 Cabbage, boiled, hours Rnd 30 minutes.

 The table Is a good one and ever! housekeeper would do we'll to memo. rize 1t.
 Rice will digest better if eaten witf butter.
 It is a good scheme to keep a cro. chet hook in the bathroom to draw out threads or hairs from the vast pipes which stop the overflow of wa ter.
 In closing. just let me tell this llttl, story: A Great Feat-Fannie was eatin, an apple, when she suddenly cried ou in pain.
 ''What is the matter, darling?' asket her mother.
 T stepped on my tongue with m! teeth,' said Fannie.

THE GOOD FELLOW ROUTE
By Berton Braley-

By Berton Braley- It's brilliant with lights and with laughter and song. But the song and the laughter don't last very long And under the lights in their pitflesS glaEa Stand Sorrow and Ruin and Woe and Despair. Rlithe friends and companions you'll meet beyond doubt, If you Journey through life by the Good Fellow Routei There's many a .-Spender,7 a Prince and a King" Who makes a big hit with this Good Fellow Thing; Whose wife and whose children are threa&bare and pale BOcsuse of this chap and his "giori- ous- trail. where the laokeys and sycophantz loiter about To gather the cash on the Good Eel low Route In grim prison cells and in padded ones, too. Are lots of the boys who so merTily blew Along on the road where the Good Fellows go And on the park benches is many a row or those who are tagged as the Down and the Out And who got to that goal by the Good Fellow Route Yfr +rau that seems careless ana happy and gay But 10 follow that trail means a big score 10 pay. You will cash in your youth and your health as the toll. You will pay with your body, y0ul mind and your soul; It may be worth while. but l venture to doubt The fun of the trip down the GoOt Fellow Route.

 On reading the Corner letters last Saturday. l had to go and see Blue Bells. before l went 10 bed: and we had q good laugh at your expense. Wish you had been there, think we could have laughed at your faces when introduced to Blue Bells.
 came near writing to the corner awhile ago, when Jim wrote me for some yellow tomato seed: but no one would help me write so gave it up and sent Jim d card about seed and he was that scared he never wrote again, Am sorry. but 1 do enjoy the Social Corner letters so much; and try lots of recipes sent in,

CONGRESSMAN KENNEDY.

The esteemed Fort Madison Demo

sour stomach. as witness the following
fro its columns:
Having read laudations of Con-
gresham Kennedy in The Keokus
Gate City we are impressed with the
idea that the Republicans should
solve their presidential muddle by
shelving both Taft and Roosevelt
and nominating him for President.
A large preponderance CT the read
ers Of The Gate City will agree that
it was entirely within bounds in what
it said OF Mr.. Kennedy. Much more
might have been said without over
statement of his claims TO renomina.

would specify that these fans were
built in two designs and many vars
cites. and that one design was for
operation in vertical position and
the other for operation in q horizontal
position. Another foibie of the techni-
cal man is the omission OF the article
whenever possible This has clari-
lying effect and is not ungrammasi-
cal. The language of precision differs
almost as much from popular termino-
logy as the precious speech of the
seventeenth century differed from the
ordinary language of the street.

THE LANGUAGE OF PRECISION

The 10000 or more electrical and |
engineers in the United
States are having marked effect in
starting a new school of writing. The
language OF the engineer is the Ian
guage of precision, and this applies
especially to the electrical engineer.
The last census shows that in the dec
ade ended December 81. 1909, the
value of machinery and apparatus
of electricity increased, in round num-
bers, from sos 100000 TO s243. 100000
or $50 per cent, For the interchange
of ideas on all of these vast enter
prises there are thirty-three technical
papers dealing with electrical science
to this, much matter is prepared in
popular form for the daily and week
ly press. The experts in the various
departments Of the Crocker-Wheeler
company exhaust themselves in eff
forts to explain the nature and uses
of some of their larger electrical in
stallations to popular writer's, but the
difficulties are immense The big in
stallations of this company, the gem
! eral Electric. Westinghouse and others
command public attention on account
of their size. but even the largest are
frequently misunderstood Everyone
knows how the digging of the Panama
canal is progressing. Few people know
that million dollars worth OF cleo
trical machinery was installed there
last year. and what it is being used
for

The scientific departments of our col
leges and universities have outstrip-

DRUNKENNESS AND INToxIcA.
IION


Differences in degrees of intoxica-
ton are recognized by the Texas court
|of criminal appeals, in a case in which
the court adopts this dictum:
sIt-is extremely difficult to draw the
line on 2 drunk There are various
stages. such as quarter drunk half
drunk and dead drunk There are
the stages of being vivacious. foxy,
.tipsy,' and on high lonesome: and
II is about as difficult to determine
when a Young lady is an old maid as
II is to tell when man has taken
enough alcoholic stimulant to pass the
line between jolly sober. and a
gentlemanly drunk
A writer in Vests Docket points out
that these statements are in line with
testimony reported in another Texas
case that there is a generally recog-
nized difference between a person be-
ing drunk and being intoxicated. A
person may be intoxicated, and not be
drunk, as it is ordinarily understood
4 person is intoxicated to certain
extent when he takes one drink. yet he
is not drunk One drink will not
ordinarily make man drunk II will
TO certain extent intoxicate him.
Defendant had the appearance of a
man who was drinking some, though
10 what extent cannot say. He was
not down, but was able TO attend to
his business The trial court, not
able to discover the recognized diff
ference found him guilty. but the
court on appeal held that he was not
drunk
