The next meeting of the National
Co< (l Roads association will be held at
Muskogee.
Shawnee entertained the general as-
sembly of the Baptist church last
week.
All four of the constitutional con-
vent ion delegates elected In Greer
county are said to be strong prohibi-
tionists.
It is reported that the second crop
of potatoes in Pottawatomie county
which is now being dug will average
seventy five bushels to the acre.
The work of putting in the curbing
and gutters for the street paving at
C’hickasha is progressing steadily with
a good force of workmen. The work
of [tutting in the storm sewers is now
also under way and will be pushed.
Mrs. M. A Scantlen of Vinson is
appealing to the newspapers of Okla-
homa to find her boy who she say3
has been missing from home since the
first of October. He is sixteen years
old, black hair and blue eyes and
weighs about 120 pounds.
A man at Hoffman, I. T., picked 208
pounds of cotton in 4 hours, whiclt
would total 520 pounds for a 10-hour
day in the fields.
The first annual fair of Broken Ar-
row was a great success. Prizes were
of the substantial sort and lively com-
petition was a feature.
December 2nd will he observed by
the Sunday schools of all denomina-
tions as Oklahoma Day. The Oklaho-
ma Sunday School Association has
prepared an interesting program to
take place of the usual opening and
closing of the regular Sunday school
hour, leaving time for the lesson as
usual. Programs will be furnished
free in needed quantities to any Sun-
day school which asks for them.
The farmers’ institutes which are
being held over the state partake of
unusual interest this year. Secretary
McNabb has secured some excellent
talent for these meetings and the ag-
ricultural interests of Oklahoma are
greatly benefltted.
Guthrie held a cotton and corn car-
nival last week, at which prizes ag
piegating $1,200 wore given by the
merchants as premiums on agricultur-
al exhibits.
Claude Lucas, a negro, killed Jeff
Daniels, another negro, in a cotton
patch in the western part of Com- j
nnche county, with his jacknife. Lu- ;
cas, it is believed, thought Daniels
had a large sum of money, but he got
only a few dollars. Lucas was ar-
rested at Frederick, a few miles away.
The fall potato harvesting is now on
In Oklahoma. The potatoes are much
larger and finer than last year in
many sections of the territory and the
■yield is immense. Pickers are scarce
owing to the cotton crop which is
keeping all the available laborers
busy.
United States Marshal Porter and a
number of deputies from Ardmore
have departed for the western portion
of the territory in search of a gang
of whiskey peddlers, w-ho gave the of-
ficers a pitched battle recently.
Dr Erich M. Von Hornbostel, of the
department of psychology of the uni-
versity of Berlin, has arrived at
Pawnee for an extended study of the
Tawnee Indian tribe. It is likely ho
will visit other tribes in the two ter-
ritories before returning home. He
has been in this country only three
weeks.
The Age of Machinery.
We live in the age of machinery j
The thinking, directing mind becomes
dally of more account, while mere j
brawn falls correspondingly in value i
from day to day. That eccentric phil-
osopher, Elbert Hubbard, sa.rs in one
of his essays, “where a machine will
do better work than the human hand,
we prefer to let the machine do the
work.”
It has been but a few years since
the cotton gin, the “spinning Jenny”
and the power loom displaced the
hand picker, the spinning wheel and
the hand loom; since the reaper and
binder, the rake and tedder, the mow-
ing machine took the place of the old
cradle, scythe, pitchfork and hand
rake; since the friction match su-
perseded the flint and tinder; since
the modern paint factory replaced the
slab and muller, the paint pot and
paddle.
In every case whore machinery has
been introduced to replace hand labor,
the laborers 1.-ve resisted the change;
and as the weavers, the sempstresses
and the farm laborers protested
against new-fangled looms, sewing ma-
chines and agriculture:, implements,
so in recent times compositors have
protested against typesetting ma-
chines, glass blowers against bottle
blowing machines, and painters
against ready mixed paints. And as
in the case of these shortsighted
NEW SAUCE FOR SWEETBREADS.
Orange Flavor Adds Piquancy to Pop-
ular Dish.
The sweetbreads are first washed
in cold water and carefully trimmed
and cooked in salted water (contain-
ing one teaspoonful of vinegar) for
20 minutes. Drain and run cold wa-
ter over them until chilled and
plump. Season with salt and pepper
and squeeze orange juice over them.
Let them stand ten minutes, spread
with butter, sprinkle with flour and
bake for half an hour in a buttered
pan until nicely brown. Baste while
baking with melted butter, serve with
orange sauce and garnish with fine-
ly chopped parsley.
For the orange sauce, cream one-
half cup of butter. Mix one-fourth
teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth tea-
spoonful of paprika, four tablespoon-
fuis of orange juice, one tablespoonful
of lemon juice, and one-half cup of
boiling water; stir into the well
beaten yolks of two eggs, and cook
over hot water, stirring constantly,
until thick and smooth. Add the
creamed butter and serve at once.
IMPORTANCE OF THE BELT.
Dress Accessory That Makes or Mars
a Costume.
classes of an earlier day, so with tli.-ir
imitators of to-day. the protest will
be in vain. It is a protest against civ-
ilization, against the common weal,
against their own welfare.
The history of all mechanical Im-
provements shows that workmen are
the first to bo benefited by them.
The Invention of the sewing machine,
instead of throwing thousands of wom-
en out of employment, increased the
demand to such an extent that thou-
sands of women have been employed,
at better wages, for shorter hours ar.J
easier work where hundreds before
worked in latoricus misery to eke
out a pitiable existence. It was so
with spinning and weaving machin-
ery, with agricultural implements—In
fact, it is so with every notable im-
provement. The multiplication of
books in the last decade is a direct
result of the invention of linotype
machinery and fast presses.
The mixed paint industry, in which
carefully designed paints for house
painting are prepared on a large scale
by special machinery, is another im-
*provement of the same type. The
cheapness and general excellence of
these products lias so stimulated the
consumption of paint that the de-
mand for the services of painters ha3
correspondingly' multiplied. Before
the advent of these goods a well-paint-
ed house was noticeable from its
rarity, whereas to-day an ill-painted
house is conspicuous.
Nevertheless, the painters, as a
rule, following Ihe example set by
the weavers, the sempstresses and the
farm laborers of old, almost to a man,
oppose the improvement. It is a real
improvement, however, and simply be-
cause of that fact the sale of such
products has increased until during
the present year it will fall not far
short of 90,000.000 or 103,000,000 gal-
lons.
Hindsight Is always better than
foresight, and most of us who deplore
the short-sightedness of our ancestors
would do well to see that we do not
in turn furnish “terrible examples” to
our posterity.
With the departure of the corselet
skirt the ceinture is receiving renewed
attention, and is, as or yore, capable
of making of marring a costume. Any
one can arrange a ceinture in a fash-
ion, but only the first-class modiste re-
cognizes the full worth of bestowing
the most careful attention on what
in appearance is merely a folded or
fitted belt. The one in vogue at pres-
ent is only shaped at the upper edge.
A very common mistake is found in
the delusion that a ceinture can be
relied upon to pull a doubtful fit into
law and order at the waist, whereas,
all that can justifiably be expected of
this adjunct is that it accentuates a
fit already consummated. And when,
oh! when will the lady of embonpoint
recognize that a buckle worn at the
back is the sole prerogative of the ele-
gantly slim figure.—Home Magazine.
Utensils for Jelly-Making.
For jelly-making a new granite or
enameled ware kettle is preferable to
| the old-fashioned porcelain-lined or
! iron pot that has been in use year
i after year. It is not an extravagance
to buy a new kettle each season. A
new wooden spoon is better than an
old one which has probably been used
; for stirring catsup, chili sauce, or
pickles. The wood retains the odor
, of onions, and the heat of the boil-
! ing fruit juice is apt to bring the
! flavor out, which is often disagreeable.
| After emptying a jelly glass or fruit
| jar, it should be washed, the cover
replaced, and put away in the closet
| for use next year. It is economy to
buy new rubber rings for your jars as
you need them.

Meat Pie with Potato Crust.
Take six boiled potatoes, three-
quarters of a pound of cold meat,
three ounces of butter, one egg, one
teacupful of meat essence, pepper and
salt to taste. Mash the potatoes, add
salt, butter, and the beaten yolk of
the egg; beat all together lightly with
a wooden spoon. Cut the meat into
thin slices, trim off fat, season with
pepper and salt. Spread layer of the
mashed potatoes on a pie dish, lay
in slilces of meat, pour over meat es-
sence, add the rest of the potatoes,
smooth ever with a knife, and bake
in a moderate oven for half an hour.
Serve hot.
Paris.—According to the Eclair, at
the human hair market, held annually
at Llmorges, this year's offerings xvero
worth $200,000. Ono dealer alone on
the first day of the sale purchased
$4,800 worth. The average price per
kilogramme was $17. Young girls in
the districts where travelers for hair
dealers make their rounds are perfect-
ly well aware of the value of their Lair
and no longer exchange it for a fichu
or a boa or two or three meteis of
iuutlin.
Serving Mushrooms.
A delicious way to serve mushrooms
is to butter a dish and sprinkle with a
first layer of bread crumbs and alter-
nate layers of mushrooms and bread
crumbs with bits of butter, pepper and
salt and a liberal supply of butter over
the last layer of bread crumbs. Rich
milk or half cream poured over each
layer makes a proper finish, and mush-
rooms so cooked are fit for—for those
who euiov them.

Mysterious Find.
She went down to a swell play the
other evening, attired in a superb
white gown and wearing a splendid
opera cloak. In fact, she was stun-
ning. As she seated herself, she was
about to remove the long rsd cloak
when with horror and consternation
depicted on her face she discovered
something! My, what a predica-
ment! She had prepared supper be-
fore leaving for the show, and there,
covering the front of the white skirt
was a lowly calico checked apron.
She managed to remove it after the
house had darkened, and the next
morning the sweeper at the Colonial
found an apron under one of the seats.

IT’S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervou*
T roubles.
Nervous troubles are more often
caused by improper food and indiges-
tion than most people imagine. Even
doctors sometimes overlook this fact.
A man says:
“Until two years ago waffles and
butter with meat and gravy were the
main features of my breakfast. Final-
ly dyspepsia came on and I found my-
self in a bad condition, worse in the
morning than any other time. I would
have a full, sick feeling in my stom-
ach, with pains in my heart, sides and
head.
“At times I would have no appetite
for days, then I would feel ravenous,
never satisfied when I did eat and so
nervous I felt like shrieking at the
top of my voice. I lost flesh badly
and hardly knew which way to turn
until one day I bought a box of Grape-
Nuts food to see if I could eat that.
1 tried it without telling the doctor,
and liked it fine; made me feel as if
I had something to eat that was satis-
fying and still I didn’t have that
heaviness that I had felt after eating
any other food.
“I hadn't drank any coffee then in
five weeks. I kept on with the Grape-
Nuts and in a month and a half I had
gained 15 pounds, could eat almost
anything I wanted, didn’t feel badly
after eating and my nervousness was
all gone. It's a pleasure to be well
again ”
