 what's the use going back a hundred years? A system of shorthand and
 bookkeeping twenty years old is of but little use today.
 As the steamship has crowded out the sailboat, the typewriter, the goose quill pen and pokeberry ink, so have
 the famous Byrne systems of business training, Bookkeeping, Steno-type- writing and Shorthand taken the place of the old systems. The reason is plain; these systems cut the time and cost of becoming an expert ~c- Icountant or stenographer in half, teach business as well as bookkeeping,

 These practical, modern, time-sav- ing systems can be had in this section only in the Tyler Commercial College. You would not think of riding in an OK cart in preference to an automo- bile. Then why think of studying the old OK cart systems of accounting and stenography when you can get the Byrne systems which possess such wonderful advantages that they en- abled the management of the Tyler Commercial College to build the larg- est business training school in Amer ica, with an annual enrolment of more than 1000.

We beg to call the attention of the public to the fact that we have chang ed our telephone number to 101. We did this on account of the similarity of our old number and the numbers of some of the other business houses, the numbers being so much alike that much confusion was caused in trying to get the right number. The new register just out has our phone listed as 101, and if parties calling for our store will bear this in mind it will help the central office very much. Guthrie Drug Store.

Has MANY Relics.

Mrs. NJ M. Strong of Burlington is
the owner of several 18th century ar
ticles which have been handed down from
both her fathers and mothers families
Among them is a copy of the New York
Morning Post, which was published on
Friday, November 7, 1888. This paper
contains Washington's farewell address
to the citizens Of the United States, in
full. Another is deed made out dur
ing the reign Of King George and dated
July 10, l773 These she inherited from
her fathers side.
She also has an old Bible and pair
of spectacles. The Bible is very large
in 1902 and brought from Amsterdam,
Holland, in 1909 by her grandmother,
Mrs. Grosbeck. The old spectacles were
gold-rimmed, the lenses being octagonal
instead of round and the bows having
holes through which black cord was
run to hold them on. These were made
in about 1909.
Mrs. Strong also has document is
sued to her fathers grandfather, Ger
hart Schaeffer, by the mayor and court
of Hilgert Dorf in Germany, when he left
that country to come to America in 1909,
1t is a guarantee of his honesty and in
dustriousness and served as recon-
mendation to all whom he might meet.
Besides the above things, Mrs. Strong
has book "The Journal of the Tour to
the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson" by
Boswell. 1t was printed in l74s and was
found in deserted house owned by Rob-
ert Saunders of Williamstown, Va, and
was presented to her husband, Cen
Thomas j. Strong of the 10th New York
artillery, by Major Fred w. Prince in

MOTHER WINS CHILD.
But John E. Deyette of Burlington Won
Divorce.

Burlington, Aug. 9.-The sensational
divorce suit in which John E. Deyette
and Mrs. Eugene Deyette were contest
ing for the custody of their four year old
daughter was brought to a close yester-
day in county court when Judge Butler
gave the custody of the child to Mrs.
Deyette. The husband is to pay 500 a
year alimony for the child's support. A
cross suit for divorce had been filed and
the divorce was granted to Mr.. Deyette
on the ground of intolerable severity.
Mr.. Deyette announced that he will take
the case to the supreme court in an eff
fort to obtain the custody of the daugh-
ter. During the trial which has occupied
many days, much testimony of an ultra
sensational character has been intro
duced, in an effort to prove that Mrs.
Deyette was an unfit person to take care
of the child about whom the main storm
eentered.

SHARK MEAT is RANK.
But tho Arabs Of Alden Eat II Both
Fresh and Dried.

But tho Arabs OF Alden Eat IL Both
Fresh and Dried.
Shark fishing is an important indus
try at Alden, Arabia. The poorer
classes of the inhabitants depend on
this fish for their only taste of sea
food. Some of the meat is dried and
preserved In salt. The fms and maws
are shipped to China, and the livers
produce an oil that is used for var
nish on boats.
The Arab In his primitive boat, or
dhow, fiat bottomed craft of some
100 tons burden, finds his best fishing
grounds between Alden and Shukra
during the cool months from October
% March. He uses both nets and
hooks Fishing is sometimes done
from a small boat, but this is danger
Gus, as a large fish occasionally over
turns the boat, and the fishermen be-
come the prey of other sharks.
Small sharks are sold In the Alden
fish bazaar for about half the price of
other edible fish. Fresh shark meat is
very strong, and one must develop
taste for 1t to enjoy it.
Maleh, or salt dried shark meat, has
the largest market of any of the by
products. 1t Is used In such quantities
by the Arabs of the interior that the
local market cannot meet the demand,
and much Of the meat consumed has
to be imported from the Arabian guilt
ports. Like the fresh meat, maleh Ia
strong In taste and odor.-New York

COOKED BANANAS.
Fried or Baked, They Are a Delicious
and Nourishing Food.

Fried or Baked, They Are a Delicious
and Nourishins Food.
Americans already eat millions of
bananas a year as raw fruit but our
capacity would be much larger. accord
Ing to the food economists, II we would
use It more extensively as a cooked
food. There are many ways OF cook
Ing bananas. and In most of the lands
where they grow fried and stewed
bananas are staple articles of diet.
The banana contains as large per-
centage of carbohydrates Starch and
sugar. as does the potato and nearly
the same proportions of other constit-
uents, with the exception OF potash.
II is not perfect substitute for the
potato but very near 1t.
Most American housewives do not
know how to cook bananas. For fried
bananas peel and split them, dip each
half into well beaten egg, then into
fine breadcrumbs and fry in hot oil
More digestible are baked bananas.
Bananas may be baked whole, one side
of the skin being stripped back In this
case, or they may be peeled and cut in
halves. The fruit should be put in a
baking pan. sprinkled with cinnamon,
half cupful of sugar, pinch of salt
and tiny bits of butter. Pour into the
pan half cupful OF water and haste
frequently while baking in a quick
oven. Lemon juice may be substituted
for cinnamon. making 1t into a strip
before baking, then pouring over the
fruit when placed in the oven. Apples
may be baked with the peeled bananas.
and the combination is delicious.
