erly there can be no reason that a few
raisins now and then should not be
a benefit.
Raisins have a decided medicinal
value, as they have a laxative effect,
but for those who have trouble in
digesting them they are best steamed

' The English people should teach US
the proper value of the raisin as they
eat six pounds per capita while we
eat one.
Raisin Sandwiches.-Chop fine n
cupful Of raisins with a cupful Of nuts,
pecans or walnuts, mix with whipped
cream, a dash of salt and spread on
thin slices of buttered bread. Prepare
only a short while before serving and
the raisins are better and more di-
gestible if steamed before using.
Raisins with bread and butter make
the finest kind of a lunch when trav-
cling, and are always ready to take.

ROADS BARKER DISTRICT

The building of the Improved
Roads in Barker District has been
laid over until early next spring.
The delay in selling the bonds
has made it advisable to wait un-
til next year for the building of
the roads.
The recent decision of the Sup
rene Court up-holding the acts
of the legislature Of 1915 where
in noticeof the voting bond issues
for Improved Roads was to be
published in one newspaper in
stead of two, has come at such a
late date that before all the neces-
sary data could be brought to-
gether it would be the road build
ing in the late fall and make the
main highways in such condition
that it would be very bad for
those using the roads in the win
ter and early spring.
This action appears to meet the
approval of many Of the taxpay-
ers. During the winter, good
roads meetings will be held so by
early spring all the people will
have come to an understanding
just what kind Of roads will be
the best for the money to be in
vested. Most all the opposition
to the improved roads has vanish
ed and it viii now be to the OBJ
ject of each one to see that the
money is properly used and spent
judiciously.

GERARD LEAVES
FOR. AMERICA.

Copenhagen, Sept. 28.-Am-
bassador Gerard sails today
from Copenhagen to America,
with his wife, for his first return
in three years,going in response
to a request from Washington
to discuss the details of Ameri-
cas- German policy and to re-
port the growingly dangerous
situation regarding submarine
war resumption, which isstreng-
ly urged.
The German Government IS
hopeful of evolving a method OF
satisfying the clamor for sub
marine warfare and at the same
time keeping on good terms
with America, but is puzzled to
see the way out.
england is starving our non
combatants, Why should we
spare hers? And as far as Amer
lea goes, let her keep her people
out of the way"
That expresses substantially
the popular view Of the U-boat
war and it is one that is being
seriously reckoned with by the
Chancellor, as it's acceptance
eventually is considered to be
inevitable.

been sick only few days, died
very suddenly at her home Tues
day evening at $50. She was
not thought to be so serious until

to relieve her suffering.
Her husband, John r. proceeded
to the great beyond six years
ago. Mrs. Phares was 6S-yrs-old
and had been in pretty fair health
until the recent sickness Of her
grandson, Thorn Rohrbough as
she took a good bit of the care
in looking after the home.
Her many friends are sorry to
hear of her sudden demise. She
was a faithful wife a kind
mother and good neighbor and
is one of those women whowill be
greatly missed in the community.
Funeral services were held at
home a mile above town this
at 10 o'clock and she
was laid beside her husband in
the Elliott cemetery about noon.
She leaves to mourn three daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Porter L. Lovett, Mrs.
Clyde Douglas and MRS. Minnie

relatives and friends.

the ground that it was brutal,
