In commenting upon the words which have just read

points set forth in this entire story of the healing Of the
man who was born blind
EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE A WORKER

time is that of WORK. know of better way to express
this than have often before expressed it, both on the

Pig Raids Yield Booze

DR.. Beise, mayor at Brainerd and
brother of Judge George Beise, of
this city, is causing quite a stir at
Brainerd. Owing to the DOCTORS

very few blind pigs have been dis

animals appeared and DR.. Beise hunt

three quarts of whiskey and all the
fixtures. Later in the evening cellar
was searched which yielded five gal

Sugar Reaches High Mark

Granulated sugar prices scared to
new high attitudes in Morris this
week when all the grocers received
notices from the wholesalers that an
other raise was in force. Shortage
of boats, railroad congestion and the
war are given as the principal causes.
Prices today are unsteady and the
lowest quotations obtainable in hun
dred pound lots are $500 for pure
cane sugar. Merchants expect sugar
to reach $40 and $12 per hundred in
a hurry. Some of the refneries have
been closed, it is said.
John Stanley, manager of the gro
Gerry department at the Wells Brothers
Hanson store, stated yesterday that
only once before in recent years
had sugar reached these high quota
tions. ''I looked for drop in prices
during February and March but it
failed" " said Mr.. Stanley. "Sugar
prices are always at the lowest ebb
for the year during these two
months. There are no indications of
lower prices on sugar, at least not
before next August. Cuba produced
400, 600 tons more the past year than

Life Held Rosy Promise

Mourning is general at Chokio over
the death. of Mrs. Henry O. Peterson
who died suddenly at six o'clock Sun
day evening week ago from hemhor-
RACES following childbirth. She had
recovered sufficiently to be about
the house and there was every indi
cation of speedy recovery when she
Was seized with violent convulsions
from which she died within the space
of twenty minutes. Mrs. Peterson
was the wife of H. o. Peterson,
prominent hardware merchant at
Chokio and we'll known throughout
the county. Her death marks the
passing of young, kindly and Chris
tian woman whose place in the home
and the community can never be
filled. Her death has caused sorrow
not only to her relatives but to all
who knew her. Speaking of the fun
eral, which was held on Tuesday, the
Chokio Review says:
1.-THE funeral was held Tuesday
morning at the E. S. Lutheran church,
Rev. Pilgrim conducting the services
here, and Rev. Olson taking charge at
the Frog Lake church after which
the remains were laid to rest in the
Lutheran cemetery near the church.
1.-THE pail bearers we're: A. B.
Shea, A. j. Nelson, H. E. Leaman,
Oscar, c. E. and w. T. Peterson.
Mrs. L. C. Dorweiler, Miss Lillian
Kemkes, Chas. McAllen and J. W.
Jones sang several songs at the house
and church, with Mrs. Bragg assist
ing as organist.
There was beautiful floral offering
rendered by the E. S. L. L. Aid of
which she was member, large
pillow of roses and carnations in
scribed Mother and Sister, was fav-
ored by the brothers and brothersin-
law of the deceased. Carnations and
wreaths were also given by M. R.
Monagle, Jack McNally, Gus Helsper
of this place and Walter Kennedy of
Graceville. A beautiful floral bouquet
of white lilies was received too late
from Hudson, Huber & Co. of Mime
apolis.
"Minnie Jacobson was born in Gen
nessee township, Kandiyohi county
and was one day from 80 years old
at the time of her death.
''She lived at the place of her
birth till she was 8 years old, and
coming to Baker township with her
parents, she lived here several years,
then since lived near Atwater on the
birth place, and also at Swanville,
again coming back to make her home
here. She then opened and conducted
a dressmaking parlor for several
years and on December II, 1912,
was married to Henry O. Peterson at
Frog Lake church and has made
Chokio her home ever since. To them
was born twin boys and baby girl,
who, with their father, are left to
mourn. Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

George of this place and Martin of
Minneapolis, who were all present

countries in Europe now at war are

sugar refners have analysed the stu
alton and suppose they are holding

we have had no trouble in getting our
sugar orders filled but the profits on
sugar at the present time have been
shaved off entirely. Grocerymen, in
some instances, are actually paying
their customers for the privilege of
selling them sugar. And the whole
sale houses say the worst is yet to

MAKING THE BEST or BEANS
Way That They Were Prepared a Cen
Grafton Ago viii Be Found Hard
to Improve Upon.

In the Wo-nan's Home Companion
the cookery editor devotes a page to
good old-fashioned dishes. A dozen
recipes are given for dishes that we're
popular generation ago The editor
says that these dishes are not on the
tables Of the housekeepers of today
chiefly because carefully written rules
for their preparation are seldom found.
Following is a recipe given for Boston
baked beans:
Pick over three cupfuls of pea
beans, cover with cold water and soak
for several hours Drain, put in stew
pan, cover with fresh water, heat
gradually to the boiling point and let
simmer until skins will burst, which is
best determined by taking few beans
on the tip of a spoon and blowing on
them, when skins will burst II SUM-
GENTLY cooked. Drain beans. Scrape
a three-fourths-pound piece of fat salt
pork. remove a one-fourth-inch slice,
and put in bottom of bean pot. Cut
through rind of remaining pork at one
half-inch distances. Put beans in pot
and bury pork in beans, leaving the
rind exposed. Mix one tablespoonful
of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar
and two tablespoonfuls of molassCs.
Add one cupful of boiling water and
pour mixture over beans; then add
enough boiling water to cover beans.
Bake in a slow oven eight hours, I'M
covering the last hour of the cooking
that the rind may become brown. Add
more boiling water as needed"

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Small Things, But Well Worth Keep
ing In Memory or in Con-
Venient Book.

Dark calicoes should be ironed on
the wrong side with irons that are not
too hot. The raveled threads from old
linen will be found best for darning
tablecloths or napkins.
To remove automobile grease or any
dark, heavy grease from washable fab
ric, rub on a small piece of butter and
rub in well, then wash with soap and
rinse and the oil and grease will have
disappeared
TIE turkey need not be sewed after
the dressing has been put in. Insert
toothpicks on either side and string
back and forth over the picks This
is easily removed after the bird is
cooked.
1t should be matter of common
knowledge, since flour is always with.
in convenient reach, that wheaton flour
is the best extinguisher to throw over
a fire caused by the splitting and ignit
ing of kerosene.

Wednesday 937 to as and Low goes

penalties for interstate shipments of
any commodity made in whole or in
part by children under 16 working
in mines or quarries, or by children
under Ia working in mills, canneries,
work shops or manufacturing estab-
lishments. Where children are en-
ployed at night or more than eight
hours day in this latter class of in
dustries, the minimum age is l6 in
stead of Ia. Opposition to the bill
came largely from the South.

RULES OF THE HOUSEHOLD
One Woman Writes Out What Sine
Wants Done and Thereby
Gets Results.

"The reason that we, as homemak-
ers, are obliged to put up with I'M
skilled and inefficient assistance is be-
cause we do not do our share in train
ing the raw material" said Mrs. Good
Housewife with some emphasis. Sup
pose the great factories where emf
grant labor is employed should be run
on the system which prevails in so
many homes? Suppose the employer
should say, oh, dear, just hate to
train q green hand! 1t takes so much
time, and is such bother!'
What sort of product would that
factory turn out? How long would that
employer be able to stand the competi-
ton Of other factories where 3 diesF-
ent method was used? Personally
believe in concrete rules. If a new
helper can read a'list Of definite direc-
tons, or in the case of inability to
read, have them read to her, they are
fixed in her mind much more effectu-
ally than the same suggestions re-
peated in varying language.
Il have known girls who would re-
sent being told things over and over,
learning this little list by heart, and
taking a real pride in living by its sim
pie rules"

Blackeninu of Silver,

count for the stains that occur when
she has not used egg. The sulphur
which causes the blackening of silver
is abundant in other substances be-
sides eggs, particularly in cabbage,
rubber of all kinds, hair, leather and
white paper. Rubber gloves, elastic
bands and the mats commonly used in
sinks often darken silver. Silver
should be placed in drawers or cases
lined with colored paper, cloth or veE
vet, as the white materials have COM

WATCH YOUR TABLE LINEN
" It's Freshness 10 to Be Retained
Proper Care VIII Be Found
Imperative.

Good table linen, in the first place.
means much. But care OF the same
linen means more. Especially in the
laundry must your table linen be prop
erly handled IL you would nave IL
retain its freshness.
Strong bleaches must never be used
on fine table linen. OF course, table
linen is often badly spotted and needs
TO be cleaned in some way. But boil
ing water removes coffee spots, cold
water removes cocoa spots, and sun
shine removes many stains. When
stronger agents must be used. they
should be applied and removed by in
telligent hands.
They should be allowed to remain
on the spots just long enough to eradi-
cate them, and then rinsed thoroughly
out with clear water. For IL they re-
main on too long they remove not only
spots, but pieces of linen,
Some old-fashioned housewives occa-
sionally have their table linen dipped
in buttermilk to whiten it. The linen
is allowed to remain in the buttermilk
for a day or two, If necessary, and is
then thoroughly rinsed in cool, clear
water, later in warmer water.
For fruit stains. pour boiling water
through them while the stains are
lamp, If possible. II they dry on, rub
hem with lard and put through the
usual washing process.
Always dry table linen out-of-doors,
n the sunshine. If possible, have
title bleaching green.
Table linen must be quite damp
when it is ironed, and it must be
roned until it is perfectly dry. Nap
Tins should be ironed on both sides,
md tablecloth should be ironed in
he same way, to give it the best finish
Ind appearance.
