threatened to get a gang together

declared they'd like to see anyone
try to chase them out
The physician had signed the nee
essary papers and had left the sta
ton in company with Simmons. A
federal man hurried after the pair
and brought Simmons back. The
doctor returned in a huff. He de-
manded to know why the young man
had to remain in custody after bond
had been signed. He got indignant
to such an extent even after the Off
GERS explained that they desired to
question the man, that he ordered
! the bond torn up. Commissioner
Sinnett complied with the wish.
The Meumann place yielded by
far the greatest amount of liquor
of various kinds. The agents gave
out the following records of con

THE PERIL OF DISEASE.

The country has got well along into the winter
without any epidemic Of influenza, but other perils
just as formidable are to be guarded against
Health authorities issue sharp warning against the
danger from typhus, bubonic plague tuberculosis
and smallpox.
Starvation in Europe is breeding plaques and
pestilence germs mosquitoes breed in a tropical
swamp. With horde of immigrants coming to
this country the danger that these dreadful infec-
tons will gain foothold, is very great, according
to a news dispatch received here Thursday night.
&ongress will be negligent if it does not take up
at once the question of providing better inspection
and quarantine facilities at all ports where foreign
shipping comes in. Every immigrant should be given
the most thorough inspection of which medical
science is capable. This win be far cheaper than
fighting terrible pestilence.

FOURTEEN LOW-COST
SUPPER DISHES.

So many women have trouble in
keeping within the amount of
money they set aside for expen-
diture on food. There is one thing
that such women will find a great
help in making this food money
more elastic - low-cost supper
dishes.
Now a housekeeper can't save
much on dinner or breakfast. For
the family must have one thor
oughly substantial meal a day
dinner; and the average family is
welded to a few favorite break
| fast dishes and these are seldom
| varied. But she can save on sup
per dishes. The family does not
object to the cheaper ones instead
| of those calling for more ex-
| pensive ingredients. In short, the
| family doesn't care what it is
| served at the supper table. The
| following supper dishes are in
| expensive yet good:
l, Cornmeal mush, hot, with
| milk and sugar. 2, Cornmeal mush
| baked cakes with maple strip. 8,

The Mock Hamburg Steak Is
made by putting leftover baked
beans through the meat grinder,
seasoning them, mixing a little egg
with them, and molding them into
small cakes like meat balls, these
cakes are then rolled in the re-
