MAY ERECT A JOINT
FRATERNAL BUILDING
ODD FELLOWS AND. KNIGHTS OF
?YTHIAS HAVE UNDER
CONSIDERATION.

The plans of the Odd Fellows and
Knights OF Pythias OF Lewistown for
the erection of two fraternal buildings
mere may be merged with the result
that the two orders will join in putting
up one splendid structure that will
serve both orders Such a plan has
been under discussion Tor some time
and last week each lodge appointed
members of joint committee to 20
into the matter thoroughly and report.
The plan seems to be entirely feasible
and 1t is more than likely that the
report will be favorable one-at
least no obstacle has thus far de-
Veloped. The two orders will, it is ex-
pected, have a combined membership
of not less than 300 by the time the
building would be under way and both
are growing rapidly. The committee
is made up as follows:
For the Knights of Pythias-Hal c..
Tllzey, J. c. Miller, e. G. Worden, ].
l.. Martin, w. S. Smith, George r.
Creel.
For the Odd Fellows-George NJ.
Stone. Judge Roy E. Ayers, A. w.
Stoddard, c. e. Jackson, e. o. Kind
schy, b. r. Cole.
Both Have Sites,
The Odd Fellows few years ago
secured fine site for their proposed
building at the corner of Main and
DAVIS streets, while the Knights of
Pyth1as more recently acquired the
site at the corner of Fifth avenue and
Washington street, opposite the Rey-
nolds residence. The orders may sell
both OF these sites and acquire a new
one or may sell one and use the one
considered best suited to such a pur-
pose.

MOORE BURGLAR CASE FIRST ONE
TO BE TRIED BEFORE
JUDGE AYERS.
STATE Up AGAINST It
County Attorney Marshall Had to Rely
on Uncorrcborated Testimony of
AccompIce Now Serving a Year
Bright Fined $15O-The Pratt Case
Court Notes.

Judge Roy II. Ayers presided for the
lirst time in the district court yester-
day when the jury term .began. There
was nothing in his honor's manner of
dlsposing of the business before him.
however, that suggested inexperience.
While maintaining all OF the tradi-
tonal dignity of high court, Judge
Ayers treated the attorneys and 9th
ers with the utmost courtesy and his
rulings were all clear cut and decisive.
Defeat for the State.
The first case called for trial was
that of Joseph Kern. charged with the
burglary at the Stoudt saloon at
Moore last year. County Attorney G..
J. Marshall represented the state.
while 0. w. Belden and w. +. Sheehan
represented Kern. The only witness
who gave any testimony directly con
Meeting the defendant with the crime
was George Miller, who, on his own
confession, is now serving a year for
the burglary. He was brought back
from the pen to testify against Kern.
The evidence of the other witnesses
was OF general nature and without
the testimony of Miller amounted to
nothing. The state rested at the con
clusion OF Millers testimony and the
defense at once moved for the dis
charge OF Kern under the statute
which provides that conviction can
not be had upon the uncorroborated
testimony of an accomplice.
County Attorney Marshall strongly
resisted the motion, but 1t was sus-
tanned by Judge Ayers and Kern
walked out OF the court room free
man.
The Pratt Case.
The case Of Cornelius Pratt, of the
Cat creek basin section, charged with
a statutory offense committed with
his step-daughter, was then called up
and is occupying the attention OF the
court this afternoon.

A New Cure for Drink-Fruit as a
Substitute for Liquor.

In the December American Maga-
zine Henry Detmers writes a little
article entitled "a New Cure for
Drink" Mr.. Detmers says that he
has been in the saloon business for
twenty years. He is not a drinker
himself and none of his sons drink.
Out of his experience he recommends
the following cure for the liquor
habit:
II found early in my experience
that as general rule-there are ex-
ceptions, of course-a regular con-
sumer of fruit was not very good
customer in my business. On the
other hand, typical booze fighter
seldom touches fruit. l always kept
some apples behind the bar for my
own use, and l often experimentally
offered one to star customer who
almost invariably refused. The more
l looked into this matter, the more
firmly became convinced that these
two habits clash. Not caring to have
my boys acquire the one, / inoculat-
ed them with the other, and l have
found that the fruit habit early ac-
quired acts as perfect antidote to
the liquor habit.
II mention apples especially be-
cause they are something like bread
one never tires of them, which is
more than can be said of peaches
pears and oranges. And apples
thanks to cold storage, can be had
every day of the school year.
why shouldn't the apple habit be
cultivated in the public schools al
public expense? School trustees
could advertise for bids to supply the
school. Then by means of a push
the-button contrivance placed at tht
boys and girls exits each child could
get his apple as he marched out Il
play at recess time, Two apples {
day would do the work. Children
have veritable craving for fruit.

other for the core And If 1t hap

people will be much improved; and
even if my scheme is never adopted
| 1 will feel a thousand times repaid
for my pains if l can only convince

who have the mans to do so, that

children is the best assurance for a

NeceSSalieS Are
But Little Higher

John Campbell Clarke. a grocer in
New York since 1868, in speaking of
his half century of service in catering
to the masses and the classes in
Americas metropolis, was asked as
to the much-discussed increased cost
of living.
1T all depends" he rejoined, ION
what we are disposed to call living.
There are more amusements now
than there were when l was a boy,
and what were considered luxuries
which only the wealthy could afford
may be obtained by the workingmen
1t is possible now for man who
works for his daily wage to have a
better place to live in and better
things to eat and greater variety
of them than could have been OBJ
tanned in 1863. The average Ameri-
can lives as well as many of the titled
aristocracy of Europe, and has a
greater variety often on his table
Forty per cent of the wages of the
people goes for food and drink, and
it is we'll that such expenditures
should have thoughtful attention.
1.-The comforts of life are now very
great. The food we have today is
better in quality than it was in '62,
and prepared and packed in a more
sanitary way. The city of New York
is the greatest and the cheapest food
market in the country. The enact
ment of the pure food law has in
creased the quality of groceries
throughout the United States and has
guaranteed honest weights. 1t re-
mains for the people to avail them
selves of their opportunities. If one
pays careful attention to nutritive
values he will be surprised to find
how well and how cheaply he will be
able to supply his table.
Staples Cheaper Now.
81 shall not refer to war prices for
comparison, for there were times
when sugar was 25 cents a pound
But when prices came back to normal
after the civil war we can make COM
| parisons. Sugar is half what it was
then, and so is flour. There have
come into the market many vegeta.
bles of the highest nutritive value
such as beans, peas and especially
lentils, the worth of which as a food
few appreciate even now. What bet
ter food value can be obtained, fol
instance, than from Indian meal a.
2h cents pound? A family car
live economically and we'll in thiI
country, and there is no reason why
any one should buy so-called luxuriei
unless his purse can afford them.
Preserved and cured meats have
advanced in price, especially porl
products. Bacon, which few year.
ago we sold for IA cents a pound
Is now ~ cents, and ham, which
brought II cents, is now quoted a
25 cents. Beef and other meats hav'
gone up. AS far as that is concerned
however, | think that the. increas
. of the cost of meats would be bless
ing in disguise if it were the mean
of diverting the attention of the peo
pie to the value of some fruit ant
vegetable products which can be OBJ
tanned at such low prices"
