keeping Institute List of Tested and
Approved Devices is seldom given
its full title at the institute. We
have acquired the napit of referring
to it as the "T. & A" The in

yearly revision of this list, and it
has been no small task, for letter
had to go to tbs manufacturer of
every device listed, to find out if
any change had been made in his
product during the year. There are
new models in vacuum cleaners and
VIC shing machines as well IS in
motor cars. The institute must re-
test all new models and other de-
vices that have been changed ma
terially before these are given a
place on the revised list. This year

chaser an up-to-date buying guide.

A Mending Party
A MendIng Party

When your two small daughters

will repeat it weekly, and trouble

Teaching Young Children
Perhaps you and your neighbor
have come to the point whore you
almost despair of ever teaching
your children to play together
nicely. Your neighbours little girl
and your young son are probably
delighted to see each other on
every occasion at first meeting.
However, they will not be playing
together five minutes before they
will be fighting and crying, both
wanting the same toy at the same
time. Finally, after much scold-
ing. talking and great loss Of time.
peace will be restored for another
five or ten minutes.
Here is a suggestion that may
help you in solving such diff
Guilty. Take an hour every morn
ing, preferably from ten to eleven,
and teach them how to play, your
neighbor taking one morning and
YOU the next. The one in charge
settles all their little difficulties,
teaches them to take turns with
their toys, and usually takes them
for a short walk. You will find
this plan a success and beneficial

has the morning at home can ac-
complish twice as much. and the
one on duty with the children gets

Sometimes it means sending the

this. It may mean the replace

Fruity Desserts

November Recipes for Making
Fruity Desserts
IAN apple day keeps the doctor
away" IAN apple at night makes
the dentists bill light" We have
heard these familiar saws as far
back as we can remember. They
suggest that apples should be eaten,
not only because they are good to
ct. but are good for our health
we'll.
Apples richly deserve their place
as a staple fruit almost the whole
year around. Whether eaten cooked
or raw, they provide at a, low cost
sources Of the vitamines B and G..
OF course, they should be eaten
only in ripe condition, when the
mild stimulation, which they exert
on the intestinal wall, may be
very beneficial. If the fruit is I'M
ripe, the excess amount of cellulose
and acid is apt to iiritate the in
testines and thus prolong digestion.
So store away plenty Of apples for
your family's use. And even II
nothing more. keep your fruit bas-
kets replenlshed.
The choice of apples for cooking
purposes is important. If they are
to be pared. the outward appear
ance of the raw fruit is not OF great
Importance: but IL the apples are
to be baked in their skins, bright
red variety of good flavor and very
firm texture is best.
Every housekeeper serves baked
apples occasionally, but seldom
realizes that there are many other
equally as appetizing apple dishes.
Here are few from our readers:

WE ARE PROUD OF SEWARD

The Gateway is proud of Seward for the able manner in which the big celebration, the largest i'll the history of the city, was pulled off without a hitch and without an accident of any kind. The gaily decorated streets, the fine appearance of the store windows, the spirit of optimism and good fel- lowship shown on every hand, the un- failing courtesy and attention given to over 200 visitors, the orderly, we'll be- haved crowd, and the bright happy throng of children excited the admira- tion of all who spent the day here.
 Saturdays celebration shows what can be accomplished by pulling to- gether without regard to faction, col or or creed. A few more such days would cement our citizens into a civic solidarity which would work wonders in the community. No town can suc- ceed without united citizenry, and to secure this result our citizens must meet and mingle one with another as often as the occasion provides.

Thi sevent was scheduled to take place at 1:45 o'clock in the af- ternoon, but when the speed demons arrived about one half hour before the scheduled time to check in for the event, they discovered the race had been run and won, over half hour previously. "Too bad," Bill re- marked to a friend, flor I won the dashes for the last few years, and was all primed up to take home the prize mazuma this year" However, he was told that he could run all he wanted too, but that the prizes were taken He added, watch me next year!"

The Marathon race held here Sat urday as a part of the Fourth of July celebration, probably attracted more favorable comment from visitors and
 tourists than any one thing. In fact, so intense was the excitement over the race that it might be good
 thing to make the race an annual event, and the principal feature on the days program. By cutting the prize money in the different events and making larger purse, one prom inent tourist suggested that it would bring runners from other parts of the Territory. He also suggested that the event be advertised for a month pre-. vious to the arrival of the steamer from Seattle so that tourists could

Upon ar irving in Seward Saturday Engineer Scott had the wounded hand exam ined and dressed by pr. Baughman, who pronounced the surgical opera tion very good under the circum- stances. Capt.
