train loads from every direction
to see the Fair and Exposition.
The enterprise of starting the
Fair again is now progressing
to the point where it is safe to
say it is going to be a great sue
cess.
The Mule Show bids fair to be
one of the best in the country.
The various herds of Dairy Cat
tie are to be very interesting,
and among them will be August
Busch's herd of Dexter cows re-
Gently imported from Ireland;
and then there will be several
herds of fine hogs and sheep.
The Chicken Show or Poultry
Exhibit is expected to be unus-
ually fine.
Perhaps the Tractor Show
will excite more interest among
practical farmers than almost
anything else. This is the most
up-to-date piece Of farm machin-
cry, and the exhibit of tractors
is going to be very large.
The Trotting and Pacing Rae
es are to be unusually good. En-
tries for these are already filled
up with from 16 to % entries in
each one, and there will also be
two running races and a mule
race each day.
Probably the Saddle Horse
Glasses and the Harness Ring
will be the most attractive fea-
lures for many people. In fact,
the Saddle Horse Ring bids fair
to be the finest in the country.

MOVEMENT FOR STATE
WIDE PROHIBITION
IN MISSOURI

The Anti-Saloon League and
the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union have united on a
program for statewide prohibi-
ton in Missouri through legis-
lative action. They propose to
work for the election of a Legis-
lature that will submit refer
endum to the people to be voted
upon at a special election, the
date to be named by the Legis-
lature. The temperance forces
claim that if prohibition is sub
mitted at a time when no other
confusing questions are brought
in that it will win in the state.
On the other hand, both these
organizations are positively OPP
posed to bringing a prohibition
election by the initiative to be
voted on on a general initiative
ballot in the November election,
1916.
Both the State Board of Trus-
tees of the Anti-Saloon League
and the Executive Committee of
the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union have decisively
adopted this program.

A DAY IN FARMINGDALE

DSCii III SONu WOI ming OluCI do
the voice of the society leader
Aoated out into the store: "Send
me fifty pounds of -four. fifty
cents worth Of sugar and a yard
of that lace | was looking at the
other day. The merchant an
swered, Eyes, I'll send John i'm
mediately." CHANGING up, saw
a poor widow in black going out
the front door with a fifty pound
sack of flour under her arm and
a package Of coffee in her hand.
After that and finishing my
order | found | had need to go
for a prescription from my ply
sician, but | found the poor man
raving. He had just returned
from a call on a little patient,
whose parents he had told on a
previous call was a very sick
child and must be fed on LIQUID
diet for some time and had also
left medicines, and instructions
to give her an enema, or in COM
mon parlance, to inject water in
to the bowels with a syringe.
The doctors last call revealed
the fact that the tender-hearted
parents being afraid the child
would not live, decided that it
should have what it desired to
eat. Biscuit, eggs and fried pota-
toes were freely given. Well
meaning neighbors had advised
that since the bowels had moved
Of their own accord the enema
wasn't needed. 1t was prescrib-
ed because of other benefits to
be obtained besides just moving
the bowels. The doctor doesn't
often give vent to his feelings,
but it was 3 o'clock in the after
noon of very trying day, and
so for a little while | saw the in
side track of a doctors life.
l FASTENED to the druggist
feeling much more in need of the
contents of the prescription.
The druggist was waiting on a
customer and his clerk wasn't
in, so l had to wait. Scraps of
conversation came to my ears,
as | tried hard to concentrate
my attention on the advertised
merits of the different patent
nostrums. What kind of tab
let's" the druggist asked. my
wife wanted some headache tab
let's, the customer replied.
"Why, she had forgotten, a
neighbor h a d recommended
them to her, they were large,
she would know them if she were
to see them" But the mans
wife nor the neighbor were nei-
Their one there and so the unfor-
tunate druggist was rather con-
fused in trying to find something
just as good, so much so that |
was afraid to trust him to fill
my prescription, and ! started
out in quest of a less distracted
pharmacist. Emerging on the
street, imagine my feelings
when | saw a poor blind man
cropping about with his cane,
and the bystanders curiously
watching the poor man in his
efforts to find his way. Finally
a gentleman in very worn clothes
came by asked the blind man
where he wanted to go and help
ed on to the next street, then
hurried on his own way. So did
|, but not to the pharmacists,
| ran home and to a room with
green shades at the windows,
which | pulled down and then
sat perfectly still until ] count

Are you now referring to shoes
which are valued at more than two
dollars pair?" asked Kitchen.
Exactly" replied the manufac.
turer. I'VE do not care about COM
petition in the cheaper grades"
And how many pairs of these
finer grades of shoes were imported
last year," asked Kitchen.
Il don't know the exact number. :,
was the reply but they were valued
at millions of dollars"
Il don't believe | would put that
statement in the record, if l were
you,' cautioned Kitchen. "You are
under oath, you know"

shouted the manufacturer, II know
my business and I know what / am
talking about"
II know you think So" was the
soothing reply of the Congressman
but here is the official report of
the Treasury Department and it
shows that during all of last year
just two pairs of shoes valued at
more than two dollars a pair were
imported into this country. And
they came from Cuba, not England.
Dupes of Protection.
That's only one of many instances
of the same kind of astounding ig-
norance which 1 might cite" said
Kitchen. "The fact is, the Repub-
licans have pulled the wool over the
eyes of many miners, farmers and
business men. These gentlemen
honestly believe that in some mys-
terious way the tariff protects"
them, when, as a matter of fact it
hasn't the slightest effect on their
business and a little intelligent study
would reveal the truth These hon
est, but deluded men are being used
as catspaws to pull the trusts chest
nuts out of the tariff fire"
And that brings up another ques-
ton: If we cannot compete with
foreigners In our home markets, how
can we hope to compete with them in
the markets of the world, where we
cannot possibly have tariff to
protect us?"

SHOE TOKEN OF Subsection
Ancient Significance Of Custom Which
ls Now Looked Upon az
Merely a Joke.

AS specially applied to weddings.
there is suspicion that the throwing
of old shoes-or new slippers, for ali
that-had at first significance which
would surely be most Objectionable to
twentieth-century brides. 1t seems to
have been a token of the complete
subsection of the bride to her lord
and master. In the East shoe or
slipper was publicly borne at the head
Of the bridal procession in indication
of the brides subsection, and at some
Jewish weddings the bridegroom used
to strike the bride blow with his
shoe as sign that she was thereafter
to be submissive to his will. Among
the HISTORIANS it was the custom for
the bridegroom to kick the bride, and
for her to remove from his foot the
shoe with which he had kicked her
To this day there is a common Gus
tom in Russia for the bridegroom on
his wedding night to require the bride
to pull off his boots. In one Of them
is whip, and in the other gift. If
she pulls off first the one containing
the whip, she gets a stroke from the
lash. and is to expect fioggings there
after, but If the gift is first disclosed
her married life will be happy. 1t is
related of Martin Luther that once,
after performing the wedding cere-
mony for couple. he took off the
bridegroom's shoe and placed 1t upon
the brides pillow, as sign that she
should in all things and at all times
be subseryient to her husband.

CARE IN SELECTING MUTTON
HeaIthful Meat May Be Good or Bad,
According to Condition-Much
Fat Good.

Mutton is generally considered the
most healthful meat, and is eaten by
many, to the exclusion Of any variety.
Consequently great care should be ex-
ercised in the selection, and little
time should be given to the study Of
quality.
IN buying mutton Tor lamb) care
should be taken to see that the fat is
clear, hard and white, as mutton with
soft or yellow fat indicates too long
stay in cold storage. 1t might appear
that great quantity of fat on mutton
signifies waste; but the lean part is
much jucier and more tender when
this Is the case, so the wise housewife
makes purchases with this in view.
The leg has the least fat in proper
ton to weight. Next comes the shout
der. The color of lean mutton Is
deep red,
Lamb is good to eat when one year
old and is much more digestible than
other immature meat, such as veal or
young pork. The wise housewife
knows the value Of nutrition, SO she
will hesitate about buying lamb mere
~ because it is in market, as it is gen.
orally expensive.
The meat of spring lamb should be
a clear pink, with plenty Of pure white
fat.

Of foreign birth and descent through

According to Prof Albert B. Faust Of

special study of the subject. the coun'
try contained in 1910, 32,243.3S2 people
of foreign birth, or 35 per cent Of the
entire white population. OF this num-
Der 13,345,545 were foreign born; 12,'
916.311 had been born in America Of
foreign-born parents, and 5,9S1,526

VINEGAR KILLS THE GERMS
Best Of Reasons Why the Condiment
Should Always Be Used Liber.
ally on Salads.

Drs. Loir and Legagneux Of Paris
have been testing vinegar as a de-
stroyer of the germs Of typhoid fever.
That they are killed by a mixture OF
wine and water in equal parts has
long been known. These investiga-
tors prove now that twenty germs of
vinegar to a liter of water kill the
typhoid bacillus in an hour and five
minutes.
From this" writes the Paris cor
respondent of the Lancet, "a practical
inference may be drawn concerning
salads. After washing the salad as
usual, detaching each leaf. it should
be put into water calculated with ten
grams of vinegar to the liter and re-
main immersed in this liquid for
about an hour and a quarter. All
vegetables ordinarily eaten uncooked
may be subjected without any incon.
venience to the same process
A liter is equivalent to about a
quart and ten grams are equivalent to
about a third of an ounce. So, If let
tuce or other greens for salad be
placed In water to which about one
third Of an ounce of vinegar has been
added and be left for about an hour
and a quarter, all danger of typhoid
fever will be removed.

Door Wedue RInos Bell,

Placing wedge under door Is
one of the most effectual means Of
closing it. for pushing upon the door
from the outside only increases the ef-
feet of the wedge. A convenient de-
vice of this kind Is made of metal,
says the Scientific American, and it
is not only serves to wedge the door,
but also contains a mechanical bell
mounted on the same base and behind
the wedge in such way that pressure
on the face of the wedge causes the
bell to ring. The base carries a set
OF short points underneath. SO that it
can be put in place and grips upon the
carpet or flooring so as not to slide
out Of position. Such device can be
carried in the pocket. and it is to be
recommended for travelling.

Try This Next Time.

A spare" plum pudding. cooked and
put away, should on no account be re-
boiled-steam it. Vary the up-and
down cut for one straight across the
top. For a second appearance this
looks better.
1t is good idea to have a croquette
pot in the refrigerator and into this
pot put all odds and ends that will
go into the making of croquettes. BY
this means you can keep the refrieer
ator cleared up and at the same time
avoid waste.
Cake tins, patty pans. ETC., are easily
cleaned by boiling. Put them in a
saucepan with some soap extract and
water, boil them for about an hour.
and they will be found clean and new
looking. Soap and soda or borax may
be used instead of soap extract. if
preferred.
To renovate old fur prepare a plate

fakes of bran and to regulate the fur.
