It is an important function OF live
stock on the farm to furnish market
for the crops grown, enabling farmers
to convert the grasses, forage crops,
legumes, and so on, into higher-priced
finished products and to return to the
soil the plant food taken from 1t.

TAKING THE BISCUIT.
A Bakers Boy, Batch Of Dough and
Gastronomic Joy.

SASSTOUosnSS vVys
To "take the biscuit" is common
phrase. But who was the first per-
son to be so distinguished?
He was baker by trade, and he
received it from a French count.
The count lived in the times when a
French nobleman could, if he chose,
send an outrider to a neighboring
town that he intended honoring
with his presence, saying he requir-
ed an omelet made with a thou
sand eggs, and the innkeeper had to
produce one or suffer for it.
This outriding business is tre-
mendous asset in making people get
busy on your behalf.
In this way the biscuit was dis
covered. A certain French noble
sent the aforementioned outrider
with the command that cake was
to be prepared for him that would
taste different from all other cakes.
The baker on receiving the order
mixed up-and wasted several
pounds Of -four and fruit, but they
all tasted much of muchness. In
despair he left the last batch of un-
derdone dough in sheer fright, as
time was getting on, and went to
consult with baker No. 2.
During his absence his young son
wandered into the bakehouse and,
seeing a batch of underdone dough,
set to work and rolled it out and
stamped it into small cakes, then
baked them. When done to crisp,
golden brown he took them out and
gazed on them with pardonable
pride.
In the meantime the father, being
no wiser as to the production of a
new cake, returned, looking the
ghost of his old self, to use a quite
original expression.
When he saw the little yellow bis
cults he was speechless with aston
ishment and wanted to know whence
they came. The son explained and

TEMPLE of Divorce.

So long ago as 1850 the wife of
a Japanese regent obtained from
the government permission to res
cue women from the hands of cruel
husbands. The means she took
were very simple. A new sect of
Buddhism known as the Zen was
just then being formed. In the
temple Of the Zen sanctuary was es-
tablished for fleeing wives. When
they wished separation or divorce
from their husbands they could
claim protection under the wing of
the temple. Once across the thresh-
old, government officials would not
be allowed to interfere, still less
the furious husbands. This "tem-
pie of divorce" was supreme UNI
pire on matters of matrimonial dis
agreement. The privilege of the
temple" was maintained for over
600 years.

~ RIP is serious disease, and per

yer and prostration as the only symp-
toms.
Although serious, grip is not often
fatal, though there may be fatal COM
plications, Of which pneumonia is the
most frequent. Cold in the head alone
is frequently called grip and, although
usually only an annoyance to adults.
may be serious in young children,
causing diseases Of the ear and mas
told. Tonsilitis and quinsy sore throat
are also enormously called grip. Peo-
pie catch these diseases by breathing
into their noses and mouths the fine
spray from the noses and mouths Of
persons who have the disease. This
fine spray is produced by the act Of
coughing, sneezing and talking and
may be carried from the affected per-
son four or five feet through the air.
To avoid grip, colds and tonsilitis ~
keep in good physical condition. (2) get
plenty of sleep with windows open, (3)

How to Mako cutworIs, Which 10 Com.
ina In Again.

You must have at least one piece
showing cutwork design If you wish
to be up to date In the needlework
field. This type Of fancy work is be-
ing revived very strongly and is used
for cushions, runners, scarfs, etc. The
work is very simply done, as it calls
for nothing more than the buttonhole
stitch.
Either side Of the portion of material
that is to be cut out is first outlined
with running stitch. 1t is then but
tonholed, the purled edge facing in
ward. When you come to a place
where a bar is indicated; stitch over
to the other side and return on the
same thread by wrapping it around
and around your needle; then proceed
with the over and over stitch until
you come to the next bar, when you
repeat. Instead Of wrapping the thread
around the needle many embroiderers
make buttonhole stitches across each
bridge so that the bridge will be firm.

FROhhGARACE

Some time between the hours of
1870 Wednesday night and O'Clock
Thursday morning the large ak cylinder
Buick automobile belonging to A. W..
Rohn. was taken from the garage of
Prothero & MeGinnis by parties I'M
known Much mystery attaches to the
affair and there is no cIew to the ones
who committed the unlawful act En-
trance to the building was effected by
means of an iron bar which was used
to,pry open the back door, the lock being
broken and the DORIAN splintered in
the act. The Rohn car stood near the
front of the garage but there was long
line of other cara standing in front of
it and on this account Mr.. McGinnis,
who was the last to leave the building,
lie of the opinion that the ones
who took the car must have
taken some of the other cars in
to the street in order to take
out the Rohn car. The other cars were
replaced, however, and even the back
door that was forced open was closed
and kept so by means of brace and
there was no sign of anything else be-
ing disturbed.
The stolen car was found about six
O'Clock Thursday morning by Donald
Duncan in front of his home on Fourth
st. The automobile had evidently stall
led on the JOY riders and they, not being
able to get it to go, had abandoned it.
Before leaving it they had carefully
covered the hood with two robes 80
that the radiator would not freeze. The
car was headed west when found so that
it is likely that it had at least
been around the block. There
was no evidence of damage to the
car but the penalty for stealing 1T in the
manner they did is severe and if the
culprits are found there will be wailing
and crashing Of teeth.
There is a special policeman on the
beat in which the Prothero- Nc Ginnis
garage is located but nothing of an un-
usual nature came to his notice during
the night AMI the only clew as to tbs
time the car was taken is gained from
the fact that Engineer Duncan heard
"a auto stop in front of his holse at
about two o clock.

ARMY BILL VETOED.
President Gives Reason in His Mes
sage to Congress.

Washington, Aug. 49, President
Wilson today suddenly vetoed the
army appropriation bill, with all of
it's provisions for preparedness, bas-
ing his action on the ground that the
bill removes retired army officers
from liability tospecial service and
the discipline that has heretofore con-
trolled them.
The President, in his veto, says
he regards that provision of the bill
not only as dangerous to the disci-
pline, but likewise as probably uncon-
stitutional in that it removes from
him the control and command Of these
men vested in hi mby the Consttu-
tion, which gives him supreme com.
mand of the army and navy.
= The Presidents veto of the bill
possibly may delay adjournment OF
