ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL,

"No state in the union has been
more loyal to Theodore Roosevelt,
living and dead, than Michigan, and
for that reason we look forward to an
especially gratifying result in the To-
cal campaign, Oct. 20 to a." said Col.
Charles B. Warren, chairman of the
executive committee of the Roosevelt
memorial.
"Michigan's warm regard for the
great man was returned in kind.
Roosevelt loved to come to Michigan,
and always the welcome he received
here was such as to impress upon him
the admiration and friendliness all the
people held for him.
Before he was ever president, Mr..
Roosevelt attracted great crowds in
Michigan. Never did he make trip
here that people did not turn out in
large numbers to do him honor. And
his trips were frequent. He was al
ways glad to depart from the direct
east-and-west route, on his travels
about the country, to accept Detroit
and Michigan invitations. Occasional
ly, too he made special journeys to De-
troit, as when he came in response to
an invitation, signed by leading men,
bers of both parties, to talk for pre-
paredness.
Michigan, and by this ! mean all
her citizens, regardless Of political
affiliations, meurns sincerely the loss
Of beloved countryman and leader
and the state will most assuredly do
more than her share in perpetuating
his memory"

sore throat whether it is diphtheria or
not. The germs of diphtheria are
unusually numerous this afall ON ac-

GOOD CORN CROP



East Lansing, Octo. 16.-The splen-
did corn crop of the present season
will go long way toward balancing
up for the disastrous fall of 1917,
when the majority Of Michigan's seed
corn was lost, and many farmers of
the State are making the most of the
favorable situation by field-selecting
their seed for next years planting.
at should be kept in mind that corn
is Michigan's most important crop,
from the standpoint of its total
value" says Prof. j. F. Cox, of the
Michigan Agricultural College. "In-
creasing the yield of corn will there
fore add tremendously to the wealth
of the State, and the most effective
work to bring this about can be done
in the fall in the fields, selecting the
right kind of seed"
Only about one farmer in one hum
dred field-selects his seed corn, accord
ing to the estimates of the College
Corps Department, and yet careful
selection usually increases the, yield
several bushels per acre. The neces-
sary labor is not great enough to Of
fer any obstacle to the work, as one
man can select enough seed in day to
plant twenty acres. Neither does the
and quite easily followed.
Field Selection: Enter field of
standing corn in late September or
October carrying a sack or basket.
Husk and pluck for seed mature, well
filled ears which are born on vigorous
plants. The plants should be grow
ing under average field conditions. Sc
lection from plants that have grown
in favorable spots of the field will not
give true estimate of the value of
the seed.
Storing: Seed corn should be dried
Immediately and stored properly.
Hang by strings, or wire trees, or
place on racks, with no ears touching.
Place in freely ventilated, dry room
where freezing will not take place.
The vitality of moist corn is Slapped
by molds and injured by freezing,
whereas properly dried corn resists
injury from freezing and molding.

FOUR GOOD ECONOMIC RULE.

FOUR GOOD ECONOMIC RULES
Four simple economic rules for
American people to follow:
Put aside as the first obligation
and before you spend at all part of
your income for future use.
. 2-Invest the money you save out
of your income in a security which
pays reasonable rate of interest, and
is absolutely safe-United States Gov
eminent securities.
3-Use the rest of your income so
as to make every penny you spend
buy something you really need and
want-and which has full penny's
value.
4-Use what you buy with your
money with as much care as if it were
money itself.

ditions returning to this country after
the war has been settled, and the

normal conditions once more when the
Republican party gets into power and
that will be but a short time.'

"There was but one producer of
magnesite in this country before the
war, and now there are 65. Nine
thousand tons of raw manesite was
produced in this country before the
war, and now there are $4,000 tons
produced. Hence the need of protec-
ton, which the Republican Congress
is now enacting by law"

FORDNEY TARIFF HITS

"Great applause on the Democratic
side when they are advocating free
trade! Always look for applause on
that side when anything free is offer
cd. The Democratic leader on the
Ways and Means Committee, Mr.. Kit
chin, has a conniption fit about doing
something for American labor. I'm
der the existing Underwood tariff law,
which he helped to frame, "a per cent
of all the imports-$3, 095 900 900
last year-came in free. Free! Yes,
free silver, free trade, free lunch, free
souphouses, always! That is what
gentlemen on the Democratic side
are in favor of.
"What have the Democrats done for
American labor? They have voted to
rob American labor on every vote on
a proposition to increase duty on
imports. In every instance they have
voted against American labor because
free trade for the United States is al
ways against American labor and for
foreign labor"
"We are told by Mr.. Kitchin that
the duty on magnesite ore contem-
plated in this bill will be burden up
ON the consumer. We are proposing
a duty of $15 per ton. Oh, what an
awful burden upon the American peo-
pie! Take carpenter, mechanic
who uses steel tools. 1t imposes upon
him an additional cost of one cent on
500 pounds of tool steel, more tool
steel than is used by any one mechan-
&c in all his life. ! wonder how the
American people can stand such a
burden"
"The men who are manufacturing
magnesite bricks are the only men
protesting against this duty, they and
the Democrats who protest against
any rate of duty above free trade.
These manufacturers, paying $40 a
ton for raw material, charge $3.50
per thousand for the bricks, and they
have no competition. 1t is admitted
that 10 per cent advalorum in exist
ing law has prohibited the importation
Of the bricks, and that not one magne-
site~brick has been imported into this
country in twenty years. Yet they
are protesting against the duty on
The raw material. One of them asks
protection for his manufactured pro-
duct and free trade for his raw ma
terial. He ought to be laughed out of
court"

Keeping the Home Lights.

"Whatever you do, keep the lamp
chimney clean. Everybody's eyes turn
toward 1t the moment they enter the
room of q night" counseled my wise
older sister when we were young girls
out on the farm, and reading lamp was
the center of the family circle.
Since then, through observation, l
have learned how important all our
lighting arrangements are in home.
For the eyes Of all do seek the light,
though they may not do 1t consciously,
nor would remember having done SO.
II there chance to be anything peculiar,
they do notice, either to admire or dis.
approve, and certainly If the "chimney"
chances to be smoky or the window
draperies torn-woe be to the responsible
one!
Put dark, badly cracked shades up at
the windows, and nothing you can do,
otherwise, in furnishing the room, will
remove the gloomy, poverty.stricken
aspect. But replace them with new,
light colored shades, and there is sense
of cheer, cleanliness, and neatness that
Is worth more than all the expensive
bric-a-brac one may accumulate.
There are 80 many devices for lighting
fixtures these days that ones taste is
plainly exhibited by her choice; and
since these come in all prices, no one is
debarred from the beautiful because of
small means. l have seen really artistic
wicker and paper shades for electric
bulbs in the five-and-ten- cent store
Simplicity, durability, and the right
shade of color are to govern ones choice,
considering, of course, the furnishings
already in the room.
Window draperies, as the frame of the
all-important daylight entrances, like
wise may be inexpensive, but must be
carefully chosen. Laces are no longer
In the best taste for ordinary rooms or
homes. Better no draperies at all than
dirty, would-be finery, or loud, gorgeous
patterns that fairly stare at every conner.
Sometimes, for various reasons, one may
not be able to show her real taste In her
selections of home furnishings; but she
can keep the home lights clean, and
cleanliness is both ''next to goodness"
and mighty near to beauty.

and press the edges firmly against the
edge of the plate. Prick the center OF
the crust with fork.
The baked crust will be of the desired
shape and can be easily removed from

Fruit as a Saver of Sugar.

Too often in these enforced days OF
sugar saving land from the dire proph.
ecies of the groeerman yesterday as to q
sugarless Christmas), the value Of fruit
In the diet is ignored, or Is not even
known. Fruit Is valuable item of table
diet, rich in mineral ingredients, acids
and body-regulating substances. And
you rarely see it on the table In the aver
age house. 1t is only considered to be
good between meals, or to cook with
the addition Of the valuable sugar; when,
as matter of fact, fruits, many Of them,
contain sugar that the body needs, and
can be used as substitute for number
less ''sweets" We religiously consume.
At the present time dates are plentiful
and cheap. They contain large per-
centage of sugar. They can be used,
and In the using of them the body will
not require so much other sugar.
Grapes are always good, and they are
one of the most nutritious fruits known.
In addition to sugar, which is present
In large proportions, they contain many
other bodybuilding substances. Apples,
bananas, oranges are good, though it is
conceded that the latter are somewhat
expensive. Yet when 1t is known that
single orange contains seventy-fve calo-
ries of the odd twenty-five hundred to
three thousand needed for the daily stok-
ing of the bodily furnace, one can real
ize that three or four oranges would not
do badly for lunch, and they would help
clarity and clear out system clogged
up with too much pastry and sweets. A
| single apple also contains approxim ately
seventy five calories, and, like the
orange, Is body regulator, containing

This year ounces have been fairly
abundant, and they are excellent sugar
savers II put up. Of course with them
one must have sugar, and that is hard to
get. But II the housewife can squeeze
little from her allowance from the
grocer, she would do we'll to preserve
little of this excellent fruit. 1t will
prove economical In the end, for 1t will
take the place of sugar when that 'sugar-
less" Christmas arrives.
The apple is such an excellent article
that cannot refrain from coming back
to It. They are not 80 expensive now,
and they make an excellent dessert,
either for dinner or for luncheon. Cook.
ed as breakfast dish they require less
sugar than preserved fruits or prunes or
cereals. As for heavier dessert bananas
and cream are excellent, or grapes with
few of the richer nuts, as Brazil nuts.
They can, also, be served with any other
kind of nut that one especially likes. l.
may not be elegant to serve peanuts, but
the peanut contains much fat and is a
good cold. weather fuel.
