DAILY DIET AND
HEALTH HINTS
OVERCOMING BREAKDOWN
IN ADVANCED LIFE.
Primitive peoples always live
on a few articles of diet, free
from the d'eeaaes that affect the
most civilized. r-v ny causes
conspire to make the A?iieric*n
people "a nation of dy-jeptics,"
but the most efficient Is tr e habit
of eating many different foods
at the same meal. The capacity
of the organism for adapting
itself to unnatural conditions i6
great during the vigorous period
of youth and maturity, but in ad-
vanced life this capacity for
adaptation fails and chronic dis-
ease often appears, tho moot se-
rious malignant type being
cancer. Many experiments made
by myself and under my ob-
servation ah«3w that a rstum to
the original habit of nature, liv-
ing on a &imple diet, one article
of food at a time, or two that
are harmonious, brings about a
radical improvement, In cases
wl«5re the vitality Is not too far
exhausted and the functioning of
the organism destroyed, to be re-
stored to the normal habit. This
practice has become known as
the "monodlet," and experience
shows that it can be adapted to
the individual case, and while
the results are much slower
than from the use of drugs, they
are permanently beneficial.
A scented bag that will keep moths
away Is made as follows: One-half
ounce each of cloves, nutmeg and car-
away seeds.
When next frying oysters, dip them
first in mayonnaise and then in crumbs
before immersing In the deep fat
They will be found delicious.
If gilt frames are coated with copal
varnish It will preserve them, and
they can be washed with water with-
out removing the luster from the gilt
To remove wallpaper take warm wa-
ter that is softened with borax or am-
monia and apply with a sponge. The
paper will soon become soaked and
blistered and may be easily stripped
off. It is well to do this a day or so
before the new paper Is put on.
Old bread Just now tanes a new form
In bread-crumb cakes. Soak the bread
In buttermilk and use flour to thlckeD
the batter.
Be careful never to use too much
butter in cake. Use a scant amount
rather than what the rule calls for, and
It will save many a poor cake.
Cold water, a teaspoonful of am
monla and soap will remove machine
grease when other means would not
answer on account of colors running
A little vinegar put into water in
which eggs are poached will keep them
white and prevent them from spread-
ing.
Simple Preparations That Will Appeal
to the Appetites of Outdoor
Frollckers.
Salad Eggs—Boll h&rd as many eggs
as will be needed; chill them thor-
oughly in cold water. Shell, cut each
lengthwise and scoop out the yolk.
Mash this up to a fine powder in a
bowl and season with salt, olive oil,
a little lemon Juice or vinegar. If
only adults are to eat the eggs a little
cayenne and Worcestershire sauce
will be an addition. Mix well, stufT
the yolk back Into whites, smooth off
top with a knife, and after putting
the two halves together wrap In waxed
pr.per.
Cream may be used instead of the
oil for wetting the egg yolk.
Grilled Meat Sandwiches—Broil lean
bacon slices, or ham or salt pork, and
put between them slices of gluten or
graham bread, pared of crust. A ten-
der lettuce leaf put against the bread
will be a delicate addition to these
substantial sandwiches. With the
same breads delicious fillings can be
made with slices of fresh tomato or
cucumber or tender lettuce, either of
these mixed with mayonnaise.
Salad In Apple Baskets—Bright eat-
ing apples are scooped out and filled
with any salad mixture liked, the top
of the apple being afterward put on
and fastened with toothpicks. There
must not be enough dressing to run,
although when fastened up tight the
apples hold their contents very neatly.
LAWN RIDGE AND ELM CREEK.
W. C. Wilson and P. D. Vertrees
made a business trip to Oklahoma
City Saturday.
Home-Made Maple 8yrup.
One cup of brown sugar, one and
one-half cups of water. Let it simmer
until the sugar is dissolved and It be
comes a little thick. Take from the
stove and when cool add one teaspoon
of vanilla. Tastes like maple sirup.
Rc-aat Duck.
Roast duck is considered quite nour
ishing, healthful and palatable. It le
cheaper than beef or pork; costs over
one-half less and with dressing and
a nice sauce is fit for a king.
Mrs. Lessly spent Friday with her
daughter, Mrs. Nolan (iross.
Mr. W. E. Grots and wife and Mrs
W. C. Wilson spent Sunday with Mrs.
Wilson's mother, Mrs. Geo. Allen.
Geo., John and W. T. James were

W. C. Wilson and daughter, Eva,
Mr. W H. Peachee and wife, Ollie
and Lillie Rhudy, spent Sunday with

Pottawatomie county farmers esti-
mate that about 3,000 acres of land
has been planted in potatoes.
Rolled Round Steak.
Take a nice round steak (cut thin)
and cut It into four pieces; pepper
and salt both sides; chop a good sized
onion very fine and spread over the
pieces of steak; grate some hard
bread and sprinkle liberally on top of
onions. Now roll up each piece of
steak so the onion and bread will be
on the inside and tie securely with
string so they will not unroll In cook
lng. Put a generous piece of lard in
a deep iron frying pan and when it
is smoking hot put in your meat rolls;
brown them on all sides and then add
enough hot water to cover. Boil
slowly for one hour. Thicken the
gravy with a little flour. Remove
strings before serving.
Dictionary Jokers.
The popular Idea is that dictionary
makers are about as infallible as mak-
ers of literature can be, and yet from
the earliest times the mistakes of the
lexicographers have furnished amuse-
ment. In our day the Century Diction-
ary has been supposed to be about the
last word In such compilations, and
yet It has been pointed out that one
joke on the Century occurs under the
heading "Question, to pop the See
Pop," which may be excellent advice,
but raises a laugh, nevertheless.
When the Forty Immortals were en-
gaged In making the dictionary of the
French academy the word "crab" came
up for a gloss; they were about
agreed to define it as "a little red flsh
that walks backward" when Furetlere
pointed out that It was no doubt a
good definitions, save for the fact that
the animal is not a flsh, it is not red
until It is boiled, and it does not walk
backward.
Equity.
Owing to the increased cost of
everything, the doughnut had become
too valuable to eat. Accordingly it
was being financed.
Naturally an enterprise of such mag-
nitude was fraught with more or less
uncertainty. "Hovr, for instance," the
underwriters asked, "about the hoJe—
is it to be financed, too?" So the courts
were appealed to.
"The hole," these decided, after
three or four years, "is the equity, and
as such it may not be financed."
U. S. Doughnut fell off a point or
two, but speedily recovered, because
something had to be the equity any-
way.—Puck.
Grievance as a Canker.
We are well aware that the privi
leges of the people, the rights of free
discussion, and the spirit and letter of
our popular institutions must render—
and they are intended to render—the
continuance of an extensive grievance,
and of the dissatisfaction consequent
thereupon, dangerous to the tranquil-
ity of the country, and ultimately sub-
versive of the authority of the state.— Accountant Henry
Pepper Salads.
These individual appetizers may be
stufTed with any salad mixture, white
potatoes and mayonnaise, cucumber
and tomatoes, or boiled slaw made of
red cabbage seasoned with caraway
seeds, sugar and vinegar. If the last
is used it must be drained dry of liquid
before it is put In the peppers. A lit-
tle top Is cut off these at the stem
end, and after the filling is put in the
top is put back and held securely with
a bit of clean twine. The seeds and
pith must be removed from the pep-
pers of course or else they will be too
hot to eat.
Nice Meat Balls.
Take a quantity of cold meat suffl
clent for a meal, scraps of roasts or
fried beef that has become dry, run
through food chopper, season with 6alt
and pepper, nutmeg and allspice; soak
about one-third as much stale white
bread in cold milk, press out, and mix
with the meat. Add beaten egg, one
egg is enough for three persons, and
lump of butter size of a walnut; mix
thoroughly and roll into balls; fry in
hot lard. Pile in pyramid on a flat
dish to serve.
For Individual Pies.
I use my muffin pans for making In
dividual pies, lining each one with
pastry, and proceed as for a large
pie. They bake beautifully and look
dainty when served individually.—
Woman's Home Companion.
Lord Holland.
A Kitchen Hint.
You who find it difficult to cut up
rough-skinned pumpkin will find the
kitchen or woodhouse saw the most
convenient article for the purpese,
it is superior to the sharpest knife
and far less dangerous.
Reduction of $250,000 Ordered
Oklahoma City.—The protest of the
Oklahoma Gas and Electric company
against the assessment of $3,000,000,
made by the state board of equaliza
tion was taken up by the board at
meeting and the assessment figures
reduced to $2,750,000 on the showing
made in the protest and by Genera

Titanic Accident Causes Improve-
ments in Ocean Craft
Portsmough, N. H.—A compressed
air system designed to make the ves-
sel practically unslnkable, is being
installed in the armoured cruiser
North Carolina at the Portsmouth
navy yard under direction of Captain
C. C Marsh, commanding the vessel
Captain Marsh believes the apparatus
will keep the cruiser afloat iu case of
a collision with an iceberg such as
sunk the Titauio
The principle, Captain Marsh said,
is the creation of such an air press-
ure within the vessel that water can-
not enter. That Is, if the hull should
be punctured the compartment af-
fected would immediately be filled
with air driven at such pressure us to
force the water away from the vessel
and keep it out until temporary re-
pairs could be made.

Gasser Flows 30,000,000 Cubic Feet
Tulsa, Okla.—Robert Galbreath
brought in the most sensational
"gasser" of the mid-continent field.
He says that a conservative estimate
of the flow puts it at 30,000,000 cubic
feet per day. He believes that it will
exceed by 5,000,000 any "gasser" now-
running in the field.
The new well is the second in a
new field about two miles north of
Kandall college, and less than four
miles from the city. The first well
was a good combination oil and gas
hole. The new one is putting out gas
through a ten inch hose at the top
of the derrick. The well will be cased
with 6 5-8 inch tubing.

SIZE DOESN'T COUNT
Size does not always count. The stinger is the small part of
the bee but you soon learn which end it's on.
It isn't always the size of a bank account that we consider, its
the man behind it. We feel that the humble depositor is entitled to
the same consideration as the man who owns a mint. Our banking
facilities are at the disposal of all alike. We are here to help you if
we can. The farmer, the merchant, the mechanic and laborer are
all invited to become patrons of our bank. The size of the account
is not of the first importance. Come in and let's talk it over.
