THEIR Side OF QUESTION

Anti-Saloon league is only crowned
by their impudence when they say
to us: This state of Washington ia
in a bad way; it is all run down and
on the verge Of total collapse; it is
rot a safe place to live in or raise
a family in; it is sending all Of its
citizens to the penitentiary and in
sane asylums. But look to US; we
can save you and lift you out of this
Horrible condition; take prohibition
medicine, and it will cure every Ill
of man or municipality; it has been
tried in Kansas, Maine, Tennessee,
North Dakota, North Carolina, and
has worked wonders. Write to- the
governor of Kansas and he will tell
you how to build up the state of
Washington Then they quote lot
Of their self-made figures, which are
not susceptible to proof.
mo, Mr.. Anti.Saloon league doctor,
we do not need your medicine, thank
you; we have read your prescription
and letters of commentator, but we
think we are doing quite nicely. we
know the conditions in the states
you mention and, in all candor, we dc
not like to trade as we excel in every
way, in population, in wealth, in in
dustry, in health, education and cul-
ture.

LURE OF THE OPIUM PILL.
And the Way the Cost Piles UP ~ Il
Enslaves lts Victim.


Ensiavss lts Victim.
In the American Magazine appears
an article entitled "A Modern Opium
Eater" written by former newspaper
man. who became a victim Of the
habit and is now a convict in a peni-
Tertiary. The following extract from
his article gives an idea of the amount
Of money required by an opium eater:
by this time the cost Of opium had
become a very appreciable and perma.
nent expense. From few pills at first
increased my allowance day by day
until 1t took thirty or forty fun Ia Chi

fun in an ounce to give me the mental
relief l craved. The physical craving
the body's demand for it-can be salts
fed with approximately the same
amount each day. The mental craving
the minds demand-increases daily.
What satisfies tonight is too little to-
morrow, and so on. To feel even nor

the millions before me. had to use more
and more each day.

MAKING INVESTMENTS.
Safety Of Principal 10 More Essential
Than Big Returns.

Safety Of Principal 10 More Essential
Than Big Returns.
First. here Is quotation from q
thrift preacher:
MANY fortunes have been made and
many more will be made through wise
investments. Many fortunes are lost.
too. through unwise Investments. But
thrifty habits and consulting with ex-
perienced persons like conservative
bankers will give one the wisdom nee.
essary to handle money wisely"
Second. set down a quotation from
the advertisement Of wise and con.
sentative investment banker:
I'm lending or investing money all
possible care should be taken to guard
against hasty or impulsive decision.
Every endeavOr should be made to as
semble such reliable information as
will permit Of the exercise Of intelli.
gent judgment. The man who assumes
this attitude toward all investment
propositions comes to have an increas-
ing regard for the element of conserva.
tism. and Is ordinarily the first man to
seek the cooperation Of investment ex.
perts."
Conservatism in investment means,
first Of all. keeping the principal sum
safe. What profits 1t to get or
per cent year on your money for
three or four years II at the end Of
that time misfortune of any sort over
takes the company you invested in to
such an extent that you would find
what you have paid 500 for is worth
only SIS? And when you leave the
road of conservatism In putting your
money out to work this Is exactly the
experience you are likely to have.
Better keep your money in. the saw
ings bank, where 1t will earn about 4
per cent and where, II you wish, inter.
est will be compounded, until you are
positively certain Of the soundness Of
the investment advice you receive
Adding to the saved sum in a savings
bank, too. Is a mighty good way to
fasten the thrift habit upon yourself

ment some one who has selected in

him learn what the elements Of sound
investment are. Go slow!-John NJ

SWEET CLOVER.
Not q Weed and Has Considerable A..
ricultural Value.

Not Weed and Has Considerable AZ.
rieuituraI Value.
The Kansas experiment station in q
recent publication makes it plain that
sweet clover, hitherto neglected
plant, despised as pernicious weed.
has very considerable agricultural val.
ue. 1t is stated that ''as a soil i'm.
proven 1t is unexcelled: for pasturing
purposes 1t has considerable value, and
as a forage crop It can be utilized to
good advantage where alfalfa or red
clover cannot be successfully grown"
Attention Is called to the fact that
there are several varieties Of sweet clo-
yer. Of which the common white sweet
clover and the large biennial yellow
sweet clover are the most important
The white variety Is generally to be
preferred for farm purposes. although
the biennial yellow Is sometimes pre-
ferred where hay production IL de-
sired" Sweet clover is adapted to
wide range Of soils. and while it does
best on good soils it will make salts
factory growth on very poor soils.
Grown on good soil and properly
handled it makes fair quality Of hay
which may In many cases be subst-
tuted with advantage for the more
valuable alfalfa and clover hays. In
actual nutritive constituents it Is prac-
tically equal to these. 1t makes an
excellent pasture for cattle, sheep.
horses and hogs. and for this purpose
may be probably grown on very poor
and rough land.
For quick results in improving the
soil sweet clover is superior to most
other crops. Its ability to thrive well
on soils lacking in humus or otherwise
badly run down makes 1t especially
adapted for this purpose. Like alfalfa.
cowpeas and other legumes, it has the
ability to obtain nitrogen from the air
by means Of the nitrogen gathering
bacteria which live in tubercles on the
roots Of the plants. thus adding much
nitrogen to the soil in which 1t grows.
When plowed under for green manure
or allowed to remain ON the land this
crop Is very efficient one in building
up the humus content Of the soil. The
large roots. which penetrate deeply.
break up the lower layers Of the soil
and add much humus thereto when
they decay. thus improving the phys
ical condition Of the soil to consid-
cradle depth below the depth Of plOw
ing. Sandy as well as heavy clay and
hardpan soils. which would not other
wise produce satisfactory crops. may
be SO improved in texture by growing
sweet clover for few years that they
become quite productive.

Things to Remember

The softer cookies are mixed the
lighter and more moist they will be.
To handle soft dough for rolling and
cutting, take only small amount on
the board at time.
When very soft dough is to he rolled
and cut, always add little baking pow
der to flour used on the molding board
and the rolling pin, as the -four alone
will tougher the dough.
To bake cookies use a sheet or a shall
low pan and always bake at the top of
the oven. Never try to bake cookies in
a deep pan. The heat must get directly
at the cooky from the sides as we'll as
the top. If one does not have a shallow
pan or cooky sheet, invert a dripping
pan and use the bottom of it. Have a
moderate oven for cookies.
To bake Tea Cakes always use the slow
oven until the cakes have doubled in
bulk. Then bake until done with the
hotter oven. If tea cakes mountain
lup" and crack open it is an indication
they baked too quickly.
K G Baking Powder is excellent for
cookies. 1t is not always possible to
have enough oven room or enough shall
low pans to bake all the cookies at one
time. With X C it 10 perfectly safe to
mix az much batter a. you wish ard
bake as fast a. convenient. The last
cookies baked will be equally as nice as
the first, due to the nature Of K C Bak-
ling Powder.
X c is 90 made that It gives two dis.
tinct raises-one out Of the oven and
onein the oven. This double raise allows
food to remain out Of the oven for hours
and still be light when baked and it also
makes the food much lighter than the
old fashioned baking powder. Test this
statement by making your favorite cake
with X c and note the difference in the
size Of it when baked.
