Of dishes for the sick may be pur-
chased, and their convenience makes
them well worth the price. Paper
napkins may be used in many cases
to save laundry work; clean white
paper is always superior to soiled
linen. but if the patient has q very
decided prejudice against paper nap

Before the tray is brought to the
bedside everything should be ar
rangd so that the patinet can eat in

In setting the tray great care should
be devoted to placing the articles
conveniently and to the appearance
and garnishing Of the food. Careful
serving requires more thought but
little If any more actual
time than 81 slovenly serving,
Dishes should not be so full that
food is spilled IN transit; no dishes
should be covered so as to reach the
parinet hot; cold dishes should be
kept cold. Liquid nourishment in 4
glass on cup should be served on 4
small plate or tray covered with &
dolly. Neither glass nor cup should
be held by the rim.
1t is not uncommon to overload
trays and to serve everything at

meal is served in courses he is not

then to refuse the rest of the meal
If food is given sufficiently often it is
safer to err on the side of serving
too little at time than too much,
since the sight Of large amounts Of
food is often disgusting.

The average weight of baby at
birth is from T to 7l2 pounds and the
average length is about 20 inches, but
it is not unusual for child to weigh

VET EDITOR DEAD
Tams Bixby, Muskogee Phoe-
nix, Dies in X. C.
Was Widely known as Pub
Usher in Southwest.

Muskogee, Jan. 1S.-The funeral of
Tams Bixby, veteran newspaper man
of Oklahoma and publisher of the
Muskogee Daily Phoenix who died in
a hospital at Kansas City late yester
day. will be held at the family home
here at o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
it was announced today. The body
will then be taken to Red Wing, Mimi,
the former home of Bixby, for burial.
Tams Bixby was widely known thru
out the southwest. Since early man
hood ne had been a public figure of
prominence. Born December II, 1855,
in Staunton, Va, his parents moved
TO Red Wing, Mimi, while he still was
a baby.
Mr.. Bixby took an active part in
politics. He served first as chairman
of his Republican county committee,
then as secretary of the Republican
state league and then in turn as Sec
rotary and chairman of the Republi-
can state central committee of Mime
sofa.
He married Miss Clara Mues April
81, 1886, and two years later was ap-
pointed secretary of the Minnesota
railroad and warehouse commission, in
which position he served for two
years.
With the Inauguration of Gov Will
liam r. Merriam in 1889, Mr.. Bixby
became his private secretary. He
served in the same capacity to the
two following governors, Knute Nelson
and David NJ. Clough. He left the
service of Governor Clough in 1897, to
become a member of the commission
to the Five Civilized Tribes in the In
dian territory.
This was the Dawes commission, so
named because Senator Dawes was
chairman of it. Mr. Bixby immedi-
ately went to Muskogee, I. T, and be-
came acting chairman of the commits
sion so that Senator Dawes might not
have to stay there. He served in that
capacity from 1897 until the commits
sion was abolished in 1905, when he
became commissioner.
In 1906, Mr. Bixby became president
of the Mus.kogee Daily Phoenix Com
pany. The following year he returned
to Minnesota and became general
manager of the Pioneer Press Com
pany of St. Paul. Several years later
he returned to Muskogee and took
over the active management of the
Phoenix.
The Oklahoma free state fair. one
of the biggest expeditions of the south
west, is a monument to his foresight
and his efforts in behalf of his city.
When he came forward with the idea
of a free gate for the fair the insti-
tuition was in bankruptcy Today, six
years since his idea was launched, it
is upon solid foundation and grow
ing rapidly every year. 1t is now the
state fair of Oklahoma.

DR.. w. NJ. Jardine of "A. S. A. c.,
Speaks Before Coop Club.
The necessity of the business men
of Kansas getting behind the Kansas
farmer and assisting him in market
ing his products at a fair price, was
stressed Tuesday night at the Coop
erative club meeting by DIR. w. NJ.
Jardine president of the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
Doctor Jardine pointed out that the
farmer, the greatest producer in the
United States, needs a selling organi-
cation to help him dispose of his
goods, SO that, in turn, he may be q
valuable market for the business man
with other than agricultural products
to dispose of.
Doctor Jardine cited the cases of
California and Denmark, where the
business men and leaders have turned
their attention to giving the farmers a
market and assisting them in getting
top prices for their produce, with re-
sultant prosperity to the farmers and
the men engaged in other business as
well.
The establishment of a market in
starving Europe for the surplus sup
plies of American food stuffs, on q
basis of faith on the credit of those

ficulties of the United States, especial
ly among the farmers.
Individual efforts in craftsmanship
were urged by President Jardine and
by E. Allen Frost as means toward
turning the corner"

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Emerging from

es amounting into millions and all of
which was never known in the history
of the company, Armour & Company
greet the new year confident of turn
to the better. according to the annual
report of President J. Ogden Armour.
The losses sustained by the Armour
company and allied industries during
the year just passed aggregated $751;

Of President Armour. That officials

during the current year is evidenced in

there is every reason for looking for
better times"
Further Cuts Unwarranted.
Further liquidation of prices, one of
the chief factors in the business de-
preston, according to the Armour
statement, is unwarranted and hardly
probable. Adjustment of operating
costs in the packing industry has been
brought about gradually under the
normal status and this, the state
ment indicates, will find reflection in
the rehabilitation of the industry gen
orally.
Stress is laid upon the fact that the
greatest losses suffered were con-
fined to the by-products industries,
rather than the meat industry itself.

ing Paper Before Jayhawizer Club.

In a mastery defense of the char
acter and historical actions of Aaron
Burr noted American statesman,
Judge ]. D. NJ. Hamilton greatly en-
tertained and enlightened the members
of the Jayhawker club at the monthly
meeting of the organization at the
University club last night.
Judge Hamilton has made a study of
Aaron Burr's life and found that many
of the charges against him were based
upon public sentiment due to the for
mer vice presidents treacherous
friends who misinformed the govern
ment at the time of Burr's intentions
when he was organizing forces on the
Ohio river.
The Jawhawker club was completely
won over to the life of the former SOL
der and statesman who was declared
mot guilty of treason against his
country and who died in disgrace.
