ANOTHER GOOD LAW
The last Legislature made a pro-
vision stopping the interest on
State warrants within ten days af-
ter the call for their payment. As
a result of this law, thousands of
dollars will be saved in the State’s
interest account. In the previous
years the interest on unpaid war-
rants has reached as high as seven-
ty thousand dollars. It is now esti-
mated that it will not exceed four-
teen thousand dollars and that a
saving of upwards of fifty thousand
dollars will result from this law and
because of the more economic and
business-like handling of the State
funds made possible by new Legis-
lation and up-to-date methods.
ANOTHER FORD AD.
The Depostory branch of the
State Treasury has received from
the Highway department in the
past sixty days upwards of twelve
thousand checks sent in by auto-
mobile owners and of that number
but two have been returned mark-
ed “Insufficient funds.” This indi-
cates that automobile owners are
above the average, both in the pos-
apsainp nf a halance nn, the rieht
side of the bank ledger, Una in per-
sonal honesty. A majority of these
checks were for the sum of $5.50,
which is the exact amount of the
cost of a license on a Ford automo-
bile, and Manager Metz of that de-
partment has begun to designate a
$5.50 check as a ‘ Ford.”
AFFRAID TO BE CLEAN
■y Seeing That a Few Requisites Are
Always In the Larder, Housewife
Need Never Be at a Loss-
Eggs Always Mainstay.
Often time Is more valuable than
money, In the home as well as In busi-
ness. For Instance, If unexpected
guests arrive five minutes before
lunch hour on the day you had told
the cook you would like nothing but
a biscuit and a glass of milk you
would probably count the expenditure
of a little money no extravagance if
by spending it you could spread forth
an attractive luncheon for your guests.
Where there are good delicatessen
Bhops and caterers In the neighbor-
hood they reap the reward of your de-
sire to save time at the expense of
money. But where these popular aids
to quick housekeeping do not exist, it
Is necessary to make up for their lack
by having a larder furnished with sup-
plies that can be quickly converted
Into dainty dishes for the unexpected
meal.
Eggs can always be quickly turned
Into an omelet, made savory with the
addition of minced ham or chicken,
parsley or a little Jelly Just before it 1
turned. A baked omelet, too, with
cooked macaroni or cooked green peas
or asparagus heads added, Is good.
And a plain omelet served with a
sauce of tomatoes and sweet green
peppers simmered together with wa-
ter or a little stock until tender, Is
good enough to serve as the main dish
of a light summer luncheon.
If there Is cold meat In the pantry
It can be minced, mixed with a little
mayonnaise and converted thus Into
the filling for tempting sandwiches.
Or it can be minced, simmered with a
little chopped pepper, tomato or pars-
ley, and served on crisp rounds of
toast. Or it can be cut into neat dice,
mixed with half Its quantity of diced
celery, or a quarter of its quantity of
sweet green pepper, cut In small
pieces, and moistened with mayon-
naise for a salad—with or without let-
tuce or some other salad green, which
may not be on hand.
For dessert, anything cool is accept-
able on a warm day. Whatever fruit
there Is can be cut into neat bits,
mixed with a little shaved Ice, sweet-
ened and flavored to taste, and piled
Into sherbet glasses. If there is no
fruit, perhaps there are the ingredi-
ents for a whip. To make this, beat
the whites of eggs stiff, sweeten with
two or three teaspoonfuls of sugar for
each white and flavor with anything
on hand—prune Juice and pulp, grape
Juice, a little melted jelly or canned
berries or black raspberries, crushed,
orange Juice and pulp or even cocoa,
when nothing else Is at hand. Serve
daintily, very cold, In long-stemmed
glasses. A sweetened omelet makes a
good dessert. Whipped cream on bits
of plain cake Is good. Muffins from
breakfast hollowed out and filled with
custard, then topped with whipped
cream, give little suggestion of their
origin and are satisfying, to make up
for any deficiencies In the preceding
courses.
An Oklahoma merchant in
country town, after he had been
notified three times to clean up his
store, said to an inspector of the
State Board of Health: “I have
grown rich running this store in the
way of which you complain. If I
should clean up I would lose most
of my trade, for the bulk of my
customers would object to any
change. They would not feel com-
fortable in a clean store.” But the
inspector made the merchant clean
up, from floor to ceiling.

We are often called up by phone and
asked, “How does my subscription
stand?” And we are frequently ask-
ed this same question on the streets.
Of course wheu In the office it does
not take but a minute or two to look
the account up and frequently the
party making the phone Inquiry is
gone, or has been cut of! for some one
else to use the line. Consequently the
phone line is not a satisfactory way
of doing business. We have decided
to send every one of our subscribers
whose time paid for has expired, or
will expire by October the first a state-
ment of their standing according to
the records In this office. We hope
that all who possibly can will renew
between now and the 1st of October.
Don’t forget the printer.
Lamb’s Kidneys.
Soak, pare and cut In slices six kid-
neys and sprinkle with salt and pep-
per. Melt two tablespoonfuls butter In
hot frying pan, put in kidneys and
cook five minutes; dredge thoroughly
with flour and add two-thirds cupful
boiling water or hot brownstock. Cook
five minutes, add more salt and pepper
if needed. Lemon Juice, onion juice or
Madeira wine may be used for addl
tional flavor. Kidneys must be cooked
a short time, or for several hours; they
are tender after a few minutes’ cook-
ing, but soon toughen and need hours
of cooking to again make them tender.
Monday afternoon was very sultry
until after sundown, wheu some
clouds began to gather and made a
very heavy shower with considerable
lightning and thunder. There was
some hail and a strong wind for a few
minutes. Nearly a half Inch of water
fell which was very welcome as the
roads and streets were getting very
dusty as there has been no rain for
two weeks.
Iowa Fruit Bouillon.
Wash twelve prunes, one-half cup-
ful of seedless raisins and one-fourth
cupful of rice. Soak them for a few
hours In one quart of cold water. Cook
slowly In the same water, and when,
about half done add one tablespoonful
of sugar, one diced apple and Btralned
juice of half a lemon. When ready add
one tablespoonful of cornstarch dis-
solved In three tablesponfuls of cold
water. Boil for ten minutes and serve
in bouillon cups. These are very
nice.
Brownatone Front Cake.
Two squares of chocolate grated,
one-half cupful of milk, yolk of one
egg. Stir and cook until the consis-
tency of custard, stirring constantly.
Add one tablespoonful of butter.
When cool add one cupful of sugar,
one-half cupful milk, with one tea-
spoonful of soda dissolved In it, one
and one-half cupful of sifted pastry
flour, one teaepoonful of vanilla and
a pinch of salt. Frost with egg white
and enough powered sugar to spread.
Flavor.
Prlxe Sirup.
One cupful of granulated sugar, two
cupfulB of brown sugar, place in a pan,
add one cupful of boiling water, put
over the fire and stir until it Is dis-
solved and begins to boll; then boil
rapidly five minutes. To be eaten on
griddle cakes: make the day before
you want to use it
Bran for White Paint.
A plain cloth dlppei in hot water
and then In a saucer of bran will clean
white paint and not injure it. The
bran acta like a soap on tbs paint.
STOLEN WISDOM
There is a rumor that another big
change is about to be consumated in
mercantile circles in this village. The
Journal will probably be in a position
next week to make the announcement
as to what this change is.
The town has been billed for a show
in the opera house, “The Girl and the
Gawk” for Thursday evening The
writer has seen this show and it Is one
of the best on the road. In past years
the Lockes have always put on a good
show.
The Infant son of C. H. Eldridge,
has been quite sick for several days
with something akin to malarial
fever, possibly caused by the unsani-
tary conditions of the cistern and cel-
lar as all the cellars in this part of
town have from one to two feet of
seep water in them, which when
pumped out soon fills up again and
becomes seml-stagnant.
Henry Elbie has our thanks for a
watermelon out of a load he brought
to town Monday. He also showed us
some samples of corn that was grown
where he listed up some tly-killed
wheat. The ears were of good size and
well filled. It is to be regretted that
hundreds of other farmers did not do
as Mr. Elbie and several of his neigh-
bors and plant a field of corn.

We see by the Bushton News, an ac

father of Mrs. Andrew Ziegler, south
of town. He was about 80 years of
age and was a highly respected man
who lived many years in the vicinity
of Ellinwood, Kansas,
The Supply Store, last week bought
theT. B. Smith store out and placed
the goods on their shelves, then got
out hills advertising a great reduction
sale for ten days. Tills will pos-
sibly be the last sale of very cheap
goods tor some time in Manchester.
They are very desirous of reducing
their stock before removing it to
Cushing, Oklahoma. We are Inform-
ed that they will put in a big whole-
sale store at Cushing, and a gener-
al store at Drumright.
Threshing has commenced again
southwest of town, of course It is all
stacked grain but lacks a whole lot of
being dry. We believe it would be a
good plan not to thresh now, nor un-
til it Is dry, because wheat as damp
as It still is, will not keep when
thrown In a bin. We notice all that
the elevators get now they keep it
shifting from one bln to another and
mix dry wheat with It to get It in
shape that it will not heat in ship-
ping. The price of wheat has been
gradually tending downward and the
first of this week was only 5*0 cents per
bushel and it Is predicted by many
that It will be down to 75 cents In a
short time.

Nothing Is so Important to the
health of the baby In summer as the
right kind of food. When for any
reason breast milk cannot be had a
substitute must be found.
Experience in many thousands of
cases has shown that cows' milk is
the only food that can take the place
of mothers' milk with even a fair pros-
peot of having It agree with the baby.
Neither condensed milk nor the Infant
foods sold in the stores are so good
as clean cows' milk for the baby who
cannot have breast milk.
Germs multiply very rapidly in milk,
so rapidly, in fact, that even If It is
reasonable clean when drawn It may
beoome dangerous food if left stand-
ing In a warm place for some time.
These germs may be killed by heating
the milk. Bolling It for half an hour
is a safe method, and Is sometimes
advisable In very hot weather; but
the method of heating the milk with-
out boiling It called pasteurizing Is
usually employed. An easy method
of home pasteurization Is as follows:
Put a gallon of water over the fire
in a clean pan or kettle. When the
water 1b boiling hard take the kettle
from the fire and allow It to stand on a
table for ten minutes uncovered. Then
put in the filled and corked nursing
bottles and leave them for half an
hour, covering the kettle meanwhile
with a blanket. At the end of the half
hour remove the bottles and cool them
as quickly as possible to 50 degrees
and put them where they will keep
cold until needed.
When It is time to feed the baby
take out a bottle and set It In a pall
of warm water over the Are to heat.
The mother may test the warmth of
the milk by Sprinkling a few drops
on her arm. If It feels Just Bllghtly
warm It will be right for the baby.
After the baby has finished, the bot-
tle should be emptied, rinsed, and
filled with cold water. At some con-
venient hour in the day the mother
will wash all the used bottles with
soap and warm water, using a bottle
brush to clean the Inside of them.
She should then rinse them and boll
them in the same pan or kettle In
which they were pasteurized.
The nipples should be washed care-
fully. A little salt rubbed on the In
side will remove the milk. They
should then be rinsed and dropped
Into boiling water for a few moments.
They will dry with their own heat
when removed. They should then be
put away in a dry glass Jar that has
also been boiled, covered and kept
otlt of the light.
When handling the Bterilized nip-
ples take hold of them by the lower
rim. Do not touch the part which is
to go into the baby's mouth. Never
put the nipple Into the mouth to test
the milk, as the baby might easily
be made sick If the mother happened
to have a cold or throat trouble.
It will be found convenient to have
enough bottles, nipples and clean bot-
tle corks for the entire twenty-four
hours, and It will be a great saving
of time If all the feedings are made
up at once, This will also insure their
being of uniform quality.
Whenever possible the baby’s bot-
tles should be kept on Ice. A home-
made refrigerator which will keep
milk sweet for 24 hours is easily and
cheaply made at home. For this pur-
pose procure a lard or candy pall, or a
galvanlzbd bucket, or even a wooden
box with a cover. In the bottom place
a layer of sawdust an inch thick.
Inside the box or pall place another
smaller receptacle, such as a ten-quart
pall (tin), with a cover, and fill all
the space around It with sawdust.
This Inner pall holds the Ice and the
milk.
The Ice will keep longer if It is
broken up and enclosed In a small
covered pall. Put the little pall In
the bottom of the refrigerator and
pack the bottles around it. and put the
cover on. Then close the outer cover,
which for additional protection may
be lined with newspapers, or with a
cushion stufTed with hay or straw.
Where Ice cannot be had, the bottles
may stand In a pall, under a stream
of running water.
A bottle baby Bhould be fed with
the same regularity as a nursing baby.
The bottles may be given at 6 and
9 a m., at 12 noon, and at 3, 6 and
9 p. m. Up to the age of four months
the baby will need one more night
feeding. After that he should sleep
*11 night.
Beginning at the fifth month the
time between feedings should be
lengthened a quarter of an hour each
week until the interval Is four hours,
when the baby Is six monthB old. Give
no other food than the bottle feedings
and drinking water In the first few
months of the baby's life.
The baby should nurse slowly, but
ought to finish his feeding In about
twenty minutes. If he Is Inclined to
take his food too greedily, withdraw
the nipple from his mouth several
times during the feeding and let him
rest a moment.
It la especially Important In sum-
mer not to overfeed the baby. It Is
far better to keep him on rather a
low diet than to bring on an attack
of diarrhea by giving him too much
food, or that which la unsuitable, or
by feeding him at Irregular Interval*.
