butter or dripplngs? Mrs. n g, New
York city.
Cottonseed oil is just as nutritious
as olive oil, is perfectly wholesome. and
yields just as much heat and energy
as the more expensive product. The
law allows a cottonseed oil even to be
called salad oil, providing its specific
rame is plainly stated This is to pre-
vent fraud and the substitution of
less delicious and less expensive prod
uct for one OF greater commercial
value. We are accustomed 20 think of
an "adulterant" as something harmful.
Not always is this so. 1t may merely
lower the quality of the product TO
which it is added.
As matter of economy, it is an ex-
cellcnt scheme for the housewife to
buy cottonseed oil at cottonseed prices
and use it for cooking or for blending
with olive oil for making salad dress
ings. Indeed. some think that an ad-
mixture of cottonseed gives a smooth
er. creamier and less oily mayon-
naise. But if an enterprising Italian
mikes the two for you and sells them
to you unbeknownst at the price OF
olive oil then you are cheated.
It is not believed that any fat has
the special favoring or nutritive value
of butter, but for frying purposes
these points may be waived, as the
amounts incorporated are small and
the physical properties in affording
suitable frying medium are important.
There is no objection therefore TO cot
tonseed oil, either in its liquid or
solidifed forms, for frying that 1t has
the same quality and favoring and nu-
tritive value as butter when incor-
porated in the foods, as in cake max
ing, etc, we doubt.

GROWING OLD

A little more tired at the close of day.
A little more anxious to have our way;
a little less ready to scold or blame:
A little more care for a brother "a
name;
And so we are nearing the Journey 3
end
Where time and eternity meet and
blend.
"A little less care for bonds and gold;
A little more zest in the days Of old;
A broader view and saner mind.
And a little more love for all mankind
A little more careful of what we say;
And so we are faring a-down the way;
A little more love for the friends of
youth,
A little less zest for established truth:
A little more charity in our views,
A little less thirst for che daily news;
And so we are folding our tents away,
And passing in silence at close Of day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream,
A little real the things unseen;
A little bit nearer to those ahead,
With visions Of those long.lived and
dead;
And os we are going where all must go,
To the place the living may never
know.
A little more laughter, few more
tears,
And We shall have told our increasing
years,
The book is closed and the prayers are
said,
And we are part of the countless
dead,
Thrice happy, then, if some soul can
say,
l live because he has passed my way.'

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. e.
Last week g trade in killing cattle was
fairly satisfactory, but stockers and
feeders lost Is to 80 cents. Receipts
today dropped to 5000 head, probably
less than half what the run would
have been except for the embargo on
shipments out, put on pending out
come of investigation Of suspected
ease of foot and mouth disease in ship
ment of cattle received here from Ne
braska last Wednesday. Killing grades
sold strong to fifteen higher today.
Hogs sold about steady, sheep and
lambs steady.
Killing Cattle
Buyers took everything solid, start
ing at the Exchange Building and
working in all directions into the cat
tie yards. Steers sold from $3.50 to
$1l.35, cows from $3.50 to $3.50, can
ners $4.6O to $500, several train loads
of Gamer cows offered. Packers seem
to need large amounts Of beef, and
they have been short of Gamer mate
rial here for several weeks. A single
packer bought in 55 carloads of can
ner cows from Chicago in the last
three days to be killed here. Shippers
with cattle nearby seeking inside in
formation today were told to have them
here tomorrow or Wednesday, prospects
favoring q good market for killing cat
tie those days.
Stockers and Feeders
Cattle that arrived here from West
ern Nebraska showed symptoms Of a
disease resembling foot and mouth all
ment in some ways, and shipments out
of Kansas City were stopped Saturday,
till it is determined that the disease is
not foot and mouth, probably Wednes-
day.
Receipts were 10000 head, market
strong at the opening, top 1895, late
sales weak, bulk $9.40 to 1885. The
market shows intermittent strength,

DANGER SIGNAL

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or would you help to
go and put out the fire 1t is much the
same way with cough. A cough is a
danger signal as much as fire bell.
You should no more try to suppress it
than to stop fire bell when ringing.
You should cure the disease that caus-
es the coughing. This can nearly al.
ways be done by taking Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with most beneficial results. 1t is es.
pecially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows bad cold
or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Indiana, writes:
During the winter my husband takes
cold easily and coughs and coughs.
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is the
best medicine for breaking up these
attacks and you cannot get him to take

WILL CANCEL DEMUR.
RAGE SCHEDULE

Washington, Dec. Formal an.
nouncement Of a new adjustment of
demurrage rates designed to release
freight-carrying ears more promptly
from the hands of shippers and to meet
in part the ear shortage problem was
made today by the interstate commerce
commission.
The commission directed the rail-
roads to cancel all demurrage sched'
ules and authorizes the filing Of new
schedules.
Railroads were ordered to make a
change in the present form Of weather
rule or average agreement, to provide
for two days of free time, exclusive
Of Sundays or legal holidays, and fo,
certain rates Of demurrage after the
expiration Of the free time.
Takes Effect at Once
The order, to become effective i'm
mediately, directs lines in sections
where there is an excess of such equip
ment to return at junction points unit
further notice specified percentages OF
box cars in excess. of the number re
ceived by them.
This action follows a series Of con
fer&nces between the committee, rep
rsentatives of the interstate commerc'
commission and representatives Of ship
pers, which already resulted in order
by the committee designed to facilitate
the return of all classes Of rolling stool
to their owners, and in the APPROVAL b.

STATE GAME LAWS
WILL BE CHANGED

Pocatello, Ida, Nov. 3O.-Acording to
State Game Warden Jones, who was
a visitor in this city during the past
week, numerous changes in the game
laws Of Idaho will be sought during
the next session of the state legislature.
Movements have been started to enact
grouse at six, and OH ducks at eighteen.
A bill protecting black and brown
bears in idaho, except during certain
open seasons, viii also be introduced in
the next legislature, according to sports
men interested in big game hunting.
A bounty Of $25 is now offered by the
state under the provisions Of the preda-
tory animal law for each bear killed.
It is said that this provision in the
law has resulted in making bears in
idaho 80 scarce that it is now almost
impossible for the average hunter to
find bruin. It is proposed to do
away with this bounty, as the bears
are no longer menace to stockgrow-
ers, and to increase the bounty on
cougars, coyotes, and wolves. There
is also much sentiment, especially
among sportsmen in this part Of the
state, for a change in the open season
for ducks from September 1 to Octo'
ber l. Under the existing law, hun.
dreds Of young ducks are slaughtered
by pot hunters before they are able
to take wing and while still unfit for
food. Strong opposition to such a
change in the law probably will be
made by the wealthy members Of duck
clubs in the vicinity of Big Springs
near the entrance to Yellowstone Park,
as it is found that they desire to come
west before the service on the Vel
low stone branch, which closes Sept. 18th
is discontinued.
1t is. believed, however, by local
sportsmen, that the necessity Of open
ing the duck season month later will
be male so apparent during the coming
session of the legislature that all real
sportsmen will be glad to support the
bill making the change.
