SAVING AND EARNING
A Chicago mllllonalro came to thia
country la 1871 with 12 centB in hia
pocket The other day referring to
It he said he laid down this rule:
"Never to be out of work and never
' to spend as much as you earn It
was that rule that made him a mil-
lonalre and that Is the kind of mil-
lonalre that Is entitled to honor His
jtdea'ls that It is good for a man to
(save for ecofiomy Is a healthy habit
Jnaya the Ohio State Journal As a rule
men can live on halt they spend have
hotter health and can do more work
Let a man sit down and make a list
of what he needs not scantily but
bountifully and he will be surprised
how many things he can cut out and
yet keep body and mind In fine con-
dition There are many things that
one buys that are the objects of his
fancy He sees them and wants
them If be didn’t see them he
wouldn’t want them We once heard
of a man who would not go to market
because he said be wanted to buy ev-
erything and succeeded In buying
much he did not need It Is possible
to live well on meals that average
only 10 cents per capita In a school
on the west side they do It and that
little club of teachers are hearty and
happy as robins In a cherry tree We
must get out of the Idea that great
chunks of heavy food are required for
energy As a rule they reduce It
The bureau of animal Industry has
devised what appears to a be a break-
fast food for horses with the purpose
to reduce the high cost of their living
This substitute for oats la composed
of cocoanut and peanut meals and It
can be produced for $15 less a ton
than whole oats cost It appears that
the horses experimented with did not
take eagerly to the new ration at first
quite as human beings used to find
their breakfast foods cloggy until a
taste was expressly cultivated The
horses had to get the habit without
the encouragement which a liberal ap-
plication of cream and sugar affords
the bipeds In due time however the
animals recovered their form on the
novel diet The ration must be un-
questionably justified nevertheless
before It can be commended to those
who truly love a horse It is not the
animal’s fault that oats have become
a luxury Human beings have been
Induced to eat its natural fodder in
enormous quantities and that is the
reason 4
A German expedition which went to
German East Africa to search for dl-
nosaurlan remains 'reports the dis-
covery of bones larger than any here-
tofore exhumed in other parts of the
world One specimen which has been
secured Is a humerus 6 feet 10ft
Inches In length This would Indicate
a thigh bone of nine feet Heretofore
the dlplodoccus has been considered
the great-granddaddy of colossal land
animals of all times But the length
of the humerus of the diplodocccua
wns only three feet eleven Inches It
Is very safe to say of the prehistoric
geological ages that "there were giants
In those days
A telephone has been Installed near
the pnlplt of a Kansas church to en-
able the congregation to hear the ser-
mon without going to church How-
ever It is a difficult feat to sleep and
hold a receiver to one’s ear at the
same time
The American bullfrog Is to be in-
xoduced Into Japan by a young Japa-
nese who was graduated from an
American agricultural ' college this
year Choruses of large Wealthy Amer
lean frogs bellowing “To-go! To-go!”
from the marshes should add much to
the charm of Japanese life and
strengthen the tleB between the two
countries
Still another doctor is added to the
list of those who are being sued for
sewing up various articles in the-
todies of their patients operated upon
In this last case It is forceps This
tort of thing Is apt to make patients
servous over the prospect of having a
unk department added to the original
plan of their Interior economy
It Is pointed out that there Is no
(anger of overdoing the apple raising
business as the frequent crop failures
teep down the production Yet this
loes not seem to be a good argument
to address to prospective but hesi-
tating investors
By hypnotizing a maniac an Illinois
roman prevented him from attacking
er and her children It might be well
lor the ladles to drop bridge for a
vhlle and take up hypnotism
No patriotic citizen will let any
guilty fiy escape and all flies have
been duly convicted
The seventeen-year old locust Is
food In the long run for the EngIVib
iparrow Its end is Inglorious

County collective exhibits will again
feature the 1911 Oklahoma State Fair
Oklahoma City September 26 to Oc-
tober 7 Hardly a day passes that Sec-
retary I E Mahan does not receive
letters from secretaries of Farmers’
Institutes or secretaries of commercial
organizations asking about reserva-
tions of space In 1910 there were
twenty-five counties represented by

ing last year have signified their in

tentlon of having a show at the big
fair this fall New counties are asking
about space and It is reasonably cer-
tain that the splendid aggregate will
make memorable the county exhibit
department of the 1911 Oklahoma State
Fair
Increased Interest In the county ex-
hibits Is said to be due to the fact that
there Is a strong rivalry to see which
section can make the best Bhowing
under adverse circumstances It Is
pointed out that most any county can
send a magnificent display in a bum-
per year but there Is some question
as to which county can make the most
creditable exhibit when the cup of
plenty Is not well filled Every one
knows that the drought left Its mark
despite the fact that copious rains
have saved the situation For this rea-
son first second and third premiums
as well as all the rest of the prizes
may go to what might be termed un-
expected counties this year
Other exhibitors In the agricul-
tural department are unusually nu-
merous and this part of the big exposi-
tion will set forth better than ever
before a fairly complete Idea of the
soil and crop possibilities of the great
New State In discussing the outlook
Superintendent William Alson said
that it was gratifying to him and those
working with him In the management
of one of the biggest departments of
the State Fair to note the greatly
Increased interest

DRESSING THE WINDOW
SCHEME FOR DECORATION THAT
WILL APPEAL TO HOUSEWIFE
Anyone With ' Least Bit of Artlstlo
8ense Can Follow Tfieso Simple
Direction— Very Few Mate-
rial Are Required
Aa windows vary In size you' will
have to study the Illustration and
measure your window accordingly be-
fore making your purchases Three
pieces of light wood a few nails1 a
pole a few yards of heavy olive-green
cloth thread and gimp tacka are all
the materials necessary
To ascertain the quantity of goods
Tor the curtains measure your win-
dow bb follows:- Place yardstick at
center of top of window casing Find
the distance from this point to the
bottom of the window trim This rep-
resents the finished length of your
curtain and If four Inches la allowed
for the pole opening you may esti-
mate the required yardage For win-
lows of the ordinary width a piece of
50-inch goods may be split allowing
15 Inches to the curtain
Now examine the lambrequin box
In the illustration Your first pro-
cedure should be the building of this
box the small ends of which Bhould
be about six inches wide and twelve
inches long’ The front piece should
oe a foot wide and of a length suffi-
cient to meet the side pieces when
they are nailed to the sides of the
window casings Before fastening
the front to the sides of the lambre-
quin box it will be wise to fasten two
pole sockets close to the outside
edges of the sides taking care that
they occupy corresponding positions
on each side Sockets for a lace-
curtain pole may be placed Just back
of the pole sockets if you wish to
use laceB Cover the outside of the
lambrequin box with the same goods
HOW STAINS CAN BE REMOVED
Fruit 8talns 8hou!d Be Treated at
Once With 8oap and Salt
and Water
'' Fruit stains should be treated at
once Rub the stain with soft soap
or good yellow soap well wetted and
then cover it with a paste of salt and
water
It the fingers are stained from wal-
nuts dip them In strong tea rubbing
the nails well with It with a nali
brush and wash the hands at once in
warm water and the stains will dis-
appear If grass stains are rubbed
with pure alcohol the? will disappear
but this should be done at once” For
claret stains soak the cloth at once in
skim milk and wash out In cold water
White at-alns on polished wood
caused by upsetting any spirit or by
overhot dishes or plates may be re-
moved by applying to these spots a
feather dipped In spirits of camphor
This must be used very sparingly and
the furniture rubbed well with a cloth
dipped in sweet oil repeating the
process Is necessary When the stain
is completely removed pollBh well with
beeswax and turpentine or any good
furniture pollBh To clean ivory rub
the stains with lemon Juice then with
whiting made Into a soft paste with
lemon Juice allow this to dry on and
when perfectly dry rub off with a soft
dqth
A French Novelty

ed from Paris a delightful little nov-

and boxpleat It by tacking along the
lower Inner edge of the box making
a flounce ten Inches long The lam-
brequin Is now ready for the window

FAL8E HUNGER
A 8ymptom of 8tomach Trouble Coi
rected by Good Food
There la with some forms of stom-
ach trouble an abnormal craving for
food which Is frequently mistaken for
a “good appetite” A lady teacher
writes from Carthage Mo to ex-
plain ' how with good food she dealt
with this sort of hurtful hunger
“I have taught school for fifteen
years and up to nine years ago had
good average health Nine years ago
however my health began to fall
and continued to grow worse steadily
In spite of doctor’s prescriptions and
everything I could do During all this
time my appetite continued good only
the more I ate the more I wanted to
eat — I was always hungry
“The first symptoms of my break-
down were a distressing nervousness
and a loss of flesh' The nervousness
grew so bad that finally it amounted to
actual prostration Then came stom-
ach troubles which were very painful
constipation wbleh brought on ' piles
dyspepsia and severe nervous head-
aches "The doctors seemed powerless to
help me said I was overworked and
at last urged me to give up teach-
ing if I (Wished to save my life
“But this I could not do I kept on
at It as well as I could each day grow-
ing more wretched my will-power
alone keeping me up till at last a
good angel suggested that I try a diet
of Grape-Nuts food and from that
day to this I have found It delicious
always appetizing and satisfying
“I owe my restoration to health to
Grape-Nuts My weight has returned
and for more than two years I have
been free from the nervousness con-
stipation piles headaches and all the
ailments that used to punish me so
and have been able to work freely and
easily” Name given by Postum Co
