 by Razor Route

The body of Charles Palmer an oldumer of tho district and one or iH most highly esteemed residents, was found In bed iu his cabin on the morning of the 7th with both sides Of the throat aashed. A razor, folded but covered with blood, lay on Che bed beside Che body and notes written several days previously left no room for doubt that Che man had committed suicide.

 Mr. Palmer first came to the dia- trict in 1905 and has resided here continuously since 1912. being care taker at Che Red Clff mine until @ short time ago. He was in good health and comfortable financial circumstances. and no reason can Doe found by his friends for tho suicide except that a lifg of solitude had caused him to become mentally un- balanced. The peculiar actions of his dog. which ho had given to Mrs. Gibson. led to the discovery Of his body Ryder Miner.

Sometimes have cream toast with
jelly and cheese. Another time toast
lightly some biscuit cut in halves,
or small slices of bread. Make a
cream gravy from quart of milk,
heated, thickened with two table
spoonfuls of -four mixed with water,
and when cooked add piece of butter
as large as tablespoon bowl. Add
salt to taste. and put the bread into
the cream long enough to soften it.
Then again, bake an apple and a
sausage and serve them, together
with graham or whole wheat rolls.
Don't forget to make some hash
some morning, for it is a tasty dish
for breakfast when well made. Put
two cups of cold chopped meat into
frying pan. together with an equal
amount of chopped boiled potato; add
about four tablespoonfuls of hot
water and cook until the water evap-
crates. Add two tablespoonfuls of
butter. When it is melted pour into
the pan three beaten eggs. add pep
per and salt, and stir until the eggs
are cooked. Serve on a hot platter
and garnish with pointed slices of
toasted bread.
Dried peas with sausage are appe-
tizing for breakfast. Put the peas
in cold water the night before. In the
morning put them into pot with
one-half pint of tepid water, and sea-
son them with salt. pepper and thyme
Add an onion and a little bacon or !
you have no bacon, use butter. Cool
the mixture slowly for one-half an
hour; crush it. strain it, and serve it
with small fried sausages.

it's the use people make of fiattery.
Just telling a person that he's a mil
lion times finer proposition than you
privately think he is never hurt any
one. He'll believe you every time and
unconsciously hell shape up toward
the opinion you've expressed. You
won't have lied, either-which is
sometimes an advantage.
We're all a lot better folks than the
police records show. Within each one
of US lie miracles and adventures,
beauty and the SEED of heroes. If we
had enough faith in ourselves we'd
all be bods by tomorrow morning.
Kindly fiattery. no matter how exag-
Grated. puts that faith within US. You
can't overdo it, either. The most
Gilded statement falls far short of the
thing we might be if we only believed
we could.
But of course if you're only making
those soothing remarks in order to
make a touch on rent day-why,
that's quite another matter. Though
I'll freely admit that even when 1
know I'm going to pay for it, fiattery
falls gently on my ear. Somehow it
always raises my opinion of the other
fellows intelligence and makes for
painless dentistry when he draws the

soul thrill? Somebody will get the

you do not serve breakfasts lacking
in taste and the required nourlsh-
ment. To most persons breakfast Is

butter. and put in soup plate-about
three slices, cut in half. Over them
pour white sauce. Make this by heat
ing a cup of milk in a double boiler
and then adding two tablespoons of
flour rubbed into two tablespoons of
butter. Cook gently over a low heat
until the flour has lost it's starchy
taste. Season with salt and pepper and
serve very hot. Such a dish loses its
appetizing qualities if it is not hot
when served, so it should be carefully
covered in transit from the kitchen
to the room where it is to be served.
Eggnog.-Beat the yolk of an egg
until it is creamy and add a pinch of
salt. Then add enough milk to fill a
glass three-quarters full. Last, add
the white, beaten stiff. and sprinkle
with grated nutmeg. This is nourish-
ing and. excepting in cases where raw
egg cannot be digested, is easily as

Lamb Broth.-Lamb broth can be
taken by almost every one. Here is
