THE COMMIssIONERsHIP

Another office to be filled at the general cleo
ton and which is most important from the stand
point of county welfare, is the six-year term on
the board of county commissioners.
In making this selection the voters will be. in
the position Of stockholders in a large corporation
choosing a member of it's board of directors. Gal
latin county does a business of close to 81, 900, 900
a year, and the money involved belongs to the
taxpayers. The board of county commissioners
is in reality the board of directors for this bust
ness, and upon it's experience, judgment, and dis
erection rests to a great degree the county's finan-
cial welfare.
To discharge satisfactorily the duties of their
office, the members of the board of commission
ers, in such a county as Gallatin, must not only
be cOnversant with the needs of agriculture, stock
raising, rural transportation and the like, but also
with the problems of cities and towns, and, last
but not least, have had sufficient practical bust
ness experience to fit them for handling financial
affairs of considerable magnitude. A man may
be a successful farmer, or stockraiser, and yet
know too little about the intricate complexities of
modern business to handle the county's affairs in
a competent manner.
The Republican candidate for county commits
sioner is Henry Altenbrand, Jr., of Manhattan
who possesses in marked degree the necessary
qualifications for the office he seeks. Mr.. Alien
brand came to Montana in 1904 to take charge
of operations for the Manhattan Mailing company
in which position he was active until the plant
was closed in 1918. During the time the mailing
concern was operating, from 1893 until 1918, il
was one of the largest taxpayers in Gallatin coun.
ty, and never had less than from four to eight
thousand acres of barley under contract, disburs.
ing annually thousands of dollars to valley farm.
ers. Mr.. Altenbrand owned one-third of the
Manhattan Mailing company stock.
Since 1918, Mr.. Altenbrand has been engaged
in the grain business here. He has, however
maintained his home at Manhattan and will con
tinue to do so in the future. Through his more
than 20 years of dealings with Gallatin county
farmers he has. become splendidly informed as t.
their needs and those of their communities. Al
the same time, his 4ong experience as an active
executive of a large corporation has given him 8
knowledge Of financial and business affairs that
splendidly fits him to function as a county com
missioner. His policies are broad and advanced
yet he believes in conservatism and economy, as
evidenced by his public statement that Il am for
good roads, but within our means," He knows
virtually every foot Of the Gallatin valley. and is
widely acquainted among both farmers and towns
people Public spirited. he has ever taken an
active part in community work. A man of char
acter, he is well fitted for public office. The
people Of Gallatin county can do no better than
to elect Mr.. Altenbrand county commissioner for
the six-yeAv term.

often possible to bake a custard. stew

quire slow cooking in the oven with
the stored heat, after the meal has
been removed.
Potatoes, young beets and fresh
lima beans for the Tuesday platter
are cooked in triplicate pans on one
of the top heaters. The platter is
arranged with the other vegetables
In nests of mashed potatoes and is
Drowned in the oven by turning on
the top unit only.
In planning meals to be cooked in
an electric range, cook the entire
meal in one oven if possible.
An aluminium triplicate set with
cooker pot which fits on top will be
found a great convenience.
Broiling is done in the large oven
with only the top heat turned on.
The top unit in the large oven can
also be used for toasting. browning
meringues and browning the tops of
CaSseroles.
In roasting, no water is necessary
unless vegetables are to be cooked
in the same pan with the meat
Then a few tablespoons Of water
should be added.
When you must heat the oven for
one dish, plan a baked meal. When
you boil. boil everything.

CHAPTER XLVII.
The Heart of a Woman.

Leila found her work at the agency
engrossingly interesting. and not only
that. but each day she became fonder
Of Mary Brandt. Mary was so wise:
her understanding was SO apparently
liritless. Then, too, she believed so
entirely in the work she was doing.
Grinding positions for people is the
most gratifying thing In the world,
she said to Leila one day. II believe
in work and workers. and l think you
do, too. Your experience with the
Kingsley family shows what too much
money can do to people. Would you
like to go back to life of complete
idlenesS?"
Leila shook her head and her gray
eyes looked off into space. For a long
moment Mary studied the girl. Since
she had come to know her better she
had a feeling that the girl was not
quite happy. There was something
wistful about her at times, some quail
ity not easy to understand.
The truth Of the matter was that
any mention of the Kingsleys sent
wave of emotion over Leila. The
name Kingsley meant just one thing
to her-not Barry. with his unwhole-
some persecution of her; not Mona,
frivolous. beautiful and a trif1e cruel:
but Richard. whom inadvertently and
quite involuntarily she had come to
love.
How mistaken her first impression
of him had been! She had thought of
him as a jeering cynic. In the begin
ming she had even pitied Mona be-
cause Richard seemed SO unneces-
sariy harsh with her. But when she
had come to know him she had learned
to pity him for a tragic, lonely figure;
man who meant nothing to his wife

She never remembered that day in
the library without feeling the hot
color rush up into her cheeks-the
girlish impulsiveness Of her words

Mabel came tripping into the meeting
and suggested a gypsy feast in the
woods for their next meeting.
Being rather up-to-date gypsies. the
girls decided to make it a sunset

AT that. So this is what they planned:
Sandwiches, fruit, tea for fortune tell

basket, which was snugly covered
with a red bandanna handkerchief In
all the cvpSy colorS. On each side of
of the basket were the most mYSteri-
GUS cards saying: THE gypsy who
, hacked this basket put a fortune In
every sandwich" IF you find the
gypsy's earrings great fortune
awaits YOU" There's a wedding ring
IN mere 1OT tn0 81 W NC "SN'
Sure enough. each sandwich was
wrapped in oiled paper and had
tucked inside a fortune written on
slip of white paper. and I'd like to
tell who drew the earrings and we'd
ding ring. but that's a Foor for Fun
Club secret.
Beatrice's basket Of big red apples
was just the thing for gypsy feast.
And Marion thought to bring a
thermos container of sQuaw corn.
This is how she told the girls she
made IL:
Cut six slices of bacon in small
pieces and broil in a pan until crisp.
Add two cupfuls of fresh corn cut
from the cob and one green pepper
chopped fine. Cover and cook 20 min
utes. stirring occasionally to prevent
sticking. Serve on crackers or pieces
of toast.
Sauaw corn is a favorite dish to
cook over the campfire. too.
No one can tell fortunes quite as
well as Dorothy. and though paper
cups and iced tea from thermos bot
tie are Just little foreign to gypsy
customs. she was at her best. Every
one wonders If what she told Mabel Is
Sb-that some day she will be a great
d5etitian.

Nutrition Nuggets.

Meat and potatoes that have been
cooked together should not be kept
overnight. A certain bacterial action
takes place that frequently causes Sc
we're cases of diarrhea, especially
when the meat and potato combina-
ton has not been kept in thoroughly
chilled ice box.
AS bananas ripen, their starches are
partially changed to fruit sugars
That is why a ripe banana is more
easily digested and has better flavor
That is why the fruit is at it's best
when all the green has gone from the
tip and the sides begin to show
freckles, or small specks of brown
And that is why it is a good idea to
buy bananas while firm and ripen
them out in the air at home.
Parsley makes the Summer meals

eood plan to keep bunch Of parsley

Keeping the stems in water, just like

Whether the home maker has all the
small or large equipment she would
like to have. at least she is interested
when she knows of their convenience.
With this in mind the weeks meals
are planned to be cooked by electric
ity.
1t is such a simple matter to pre-
pare breakfasts when the toast can be
made at table while the coffee per-
colates in an electric percolator. And
for those who like waffles. the smoke

the WaffieS may be made right at
table are still another JOY.
1t seems almost like magic that

maker may be out for q pleasant ride,
taking care of the children, or even at
tending a matinee while the oven
snaps on and her dinner Is cooked at
the command of the hands of a clock
which she has set.
In planning dinners for Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday let us assume
that they are to be cooked in an cleo

FOOD AND HEALTH

Food Specialist.

Grandma isn't as young as she used
to be. OF course, she wears up-to.
the-minute clothes and looks smart
in them No lace fichu and old-fash
toned rocking chair for grandma. She
plays a good game of bridge and likes
q good time and you'd never guess
that she is past 60.
But, grandma has a secret. She
wouldn't dare eat all the things she
used to eat and she is very cautious
about eating too heartily. Perhaps
that is why she has kept SO young.
It is true that as people grow older
their food requirements are less, both
so far as heterogeneous foods meats.
etc.) are concerned and the total num-
Der of calories, or energy require
ments. And simple foods are much
better than to rich eating.
According to some authorities, many
of the chronic diseases seen in ad-
vanced years are due to errors in diet.
Such a diet as the following is rec
ommended
Animal Foods.
Tender chicken, game, meat occa-
sionally (unless forbidden). white
meated fish, broiled bacon and lightly
cooked eggs. Hearty soups. such as
ClCken DTOlI WIFI 1911 puiCc,
and beef tea. Milk in all forms if it
agrees with the persons.
Vegetable Foods.
Well.cooked vegetables. Vegetable
purees of all kinds. Soft. raw Vege-
tables in salads Gf the teeth are good
enough to chew them).
Desserts.
Stewed or baked fruits, fruit jellieS,
pulp of ripe fruit. rice pudding, tapi-
oca pudding, boiled custard, baked
custard.
Butter, cream and oil.
Sugar.
A reduction of sugar is recon-
mended. Lactose is better than cane
sugar for sWeetening.
Cereals.
Cooked cereals with milk or cream.
Ready to serve cereals that are easy
to chew.
AS the years advance the teeth are
apt to be less efficient and for that
reason the preparation of foods is i'm
portant. Food should be prepared
without too much of the roughage.
Meats should be cooked until tender.
Vegetables should be well done and
tender. Starchy foods should be
cooked enough to thoroughly break
down the starch grains.
These precautions must necessarily
be very general, as there are so many
things to take into consideration, such
as physical condition and age of per-
son. Nor does this take into con-
sideration diet in disease.
The safest plan always is for people
who are no longer young to visit d
physician for examination. SO many
ills could be avoided by a little pre-
paredness for the journey through a
happy, useful "old age"
