Of our turbulent neighbOr. II is said
that. the McXicans hung every Amer
lean they captured armed with a Mis-
sissippi wager, an arm of deadly ac.
curacy and at that time the best mill
tary rifle in the world. Their reason
was that the posscssor of one Of those
arms was probably the slayer Of
good many Of their countrymen. Hauser
Brothers have one Of these guns in
their collection, an old muskct with a
brass patchbOX in the stock. II would
be an interesting narrator if it could
speak, doubtless. q.
About this time came the Colt revol-
yer, an arm that caused some unknown
genius to say that GOOD made some
men big, and some men little. But
Colonel Colt made all men equal. The
! American has eXcelled all other ma
tions in the use Of the revolver, and
the exploit of Walkers men in Nicar-
augua in capturing a battery Of artil-
| lery with their colt rev0lvcrs only, is
without equal in military annals.

Seymour has shown himself to be the

In addition to being well up in the
number of runs scored, Wilson is the
leading regular hitter of the team with
an average Of .407 in 81 trips to the
plate. He has a big lead over Nickel
who is second with 2S5 in 81 times up.

Preserving Foods.

A new method has been discovered.

various food products, especially milk
powder, the idea being based upon
plnclng the substance in II sealed vcs-

that this latter prevents the usual
spelling Of contents by the action Of
the air. In the French patented pro-
cess the milk powder Is packed in
metal boxes OF convenient size, which
are entirely sealed except for pin

OF such boxes are put in Il chamber

A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY

For thousands of years consumption has
been considered as fncurable. Yet, in the
past few years there has been discovered
a treatment, which if we are to believe
the statements Of patients, is proving ef.
fective. Here is what one lady, Mrs. J. A.
Rippy, 703 North 18th Ave, Nashville,
says: "For four years have had ter.
rible cough and suffered with tuberculosis

penditures. Since the cost Of living is
constantly advancing it is vitally nee
essary that deep concern be paid to
reducing certain items Of expenditure.
Food for the family costs more than
any other item, and those who work
with the thriftless and improvident
know that their condition is largely
matter of what they spend for the in
side rather than the outside of the
body.
Since meat makes up large part Of
the ordinary family diet. any economy
In the purchase Of it will make a no.
uceable reduction in the food bill. BY
using meat substitutes, which are less
expensive, but as nutritious, the
amount may be cut down by half. The
use OF cheese, which Is rich in pro-
tein, pound of cheese being equal to
two pounds Of meat in food value with
much less waste, will prove most sat-

she will find her marketing profitable.
The butcher will not give short weight
with the customer looking on, though
the difference may be small it amounts
to much in the course Of year.
The cheaper cuts of meat, nuts pre-
pared in loaf, eggs in various forms,
are all economical dishes when pre-.
pared intelligently.
The utilizing Of left-overs in the
planning Of the meals Is another i'm
portant item. 1t goes without saying
that the economical housewife makes
out her menu days ahead in order to
save expense and use those left-overs
profitably.
