Had New York Sized Up-
It was a severe criticism made on
New York city by a visitor from Ne-
braska who said: ‘‘Yours is a 'short
change’ town. In three days I have
had seven different persons try to
cheat me by returning too little
change.”
INTERESTING CONTEST.
Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage.
Fish Cutlets.—These cutlets are
made from cold boiled fish that has
been freed from bones and flaked.
Make a sauce from one cup of hot
milk, one and one half level teaspoons
of butter, and three level tablespoons
of flour. Cook three minutes, season
with salt and pepper, add the beaten
yolk of an egg and a teaspoon of finely
chopped parsley. Turn into two cups
of flaked fish and stir. Cool the mix-
ture or shaping by hand. Dip in beat-
en egg and form into cutlets, using
the tin form, then in fine bread
crumbs and fry in deep hot fat. Drain
on brown paper and garnish with
parsley.
Jam Eclairs.—Cook together one
cup of water and one-quarter cup of
butter, and as soon as the boiling
point is reached stir in all at once
one cup of flour and keep stirring un-
til a ball is made that cleaves free
from the sides of the saucepan. Set
aside to cool, then add, one at a time,
four eggs, beating the batter well be-
tween each addition. Drop the bat-
ter in long narrow strips two inches
apart on a buttered tin and bake in
a moderate oven about half an hour.
Open a door a few minutes after they
are done before taking them from the
oven. If they are slowly and well
cooked they will not fall. When cool
cut open the side and fill with any
kind of jam. Spread a little white
frosting on the top of each.
Baked Liver.—Wash and wipe the
liver dry. Cut a dozen match-like
strips of salt pork and insert in gash-
es cut in the liver or use a larding
needle. Dredge the liver with flour,
sprinkle on a little salt and bake half
an hour in a hot oven.
Thin Sugar Cookies.—Mix four
slightly rounding tablespoons of sugar
with three tablespoons of melted but-
ter, two tablespoons of milk, one egg,
two level teaspoons of baking powder
and flour enough to roll out very thin.
Cut in shape and bake.
Corn Sponge Cake.—Sift together
two cups of cornmoal one cup of flour
and one level teaspoon each of salt
and soda. Beat three eggs with one
level teaspoon of sugar, add the egg
mixture to the flour, pour in two cups
of sour milk and mix well. Bake in
one loaf.
Hash au Gratin.—Chop cold cooked
beef fine, season with salt and pepper
and mix in the proportion of one cup
of mashed potato to two cups of the
meat. For this amount put half a cup
of meat gravy in a saucepan, add a
saltspoon of mixed mustard and a
teaspoon of pepper. Heat and put in
meat and potato and stir until heated
thoroughly. Turn into a buttered bak-
ing dish, cover thickly with fine bread
crumbs, dot with butter and brown
slightly in the oven.
Blueberry Meringue Pie.—Stir one
rounding tablespoon of flour into one
cup of sugar, add one tablespoon of
lemon juice and the beaten yolks of
two eggs, a saltspoon of salt. Mix
well, then add three cups of blueber-
ries and mix all lightly together. Fill
a pie plate lined with good crust and
bake in a moderate oven. When done
cool a little, then frost with the
whites of two eggs beaten stiff with
two heaping teaspoons of sugar, and
brown lightly.
Vegetarian Mince Pie.—Wash, core
and chop fine, 12 apples, add one cup
of water, a little cinnamon and nut-
meg. grated rind of a lemon, one cup
of sweet cider, one cup of sugar, but-
ter the size of an egg, one cup of
seeded raisins, cook till tender, let it
cool, then fill the pies and bake till
the crust is brown.
One of the most curious contests
ever before the public was conducted
by many thousand persons under the
offer of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd.,
of Battle Creek, Mich., for prizes of
31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks
to those making the most words out
of the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuis.
The contest was started in Febru-
ary, 1906, and it was arranged to have
the prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 1906.
When the public announcement ap-
peared many persons began to form
the words from these letters, some-
times the whole family being occupied
evenings, a combination of amuse-
ment and education.
After a while the lists began to
come in to the Postum Office and be-
fore long the volume grew until it re-
quired wagons to carry the mail.
Many of the contestants were thought-
less enough to send their lists with
insufficient postage and for a period
it cost the Company from twenty-five
to fifty-eight and sixty dollars a day
to pay the unpaid postage.
Young ladies, generally those who
had graduated from the high school,
were employed to examine these lists
and count the correct words. Web-
ster’s Dictionary was the standard
and each list was very carefully cor-
rected except those which fell below
8000 for it soon became clear that
nothing below that could win. Some
of the lists required the work of a
young lady for a solid week on each
individual list. The work was done
Yery carefully and accurately but the
Company had no idea, at the time the
offer was made, that the people would
respond so generally and they were
compelled to fill every available space
in the offices with these young lady
examiners, and notwithstanding they
worked steadily, it was impossible
to complete the examination until
Sept. 29, over six months after the
prizes should have been awarded.
This delay caused a great many in-
quiries and naturally created some
dissatisfaction. It has been thought
best to make this report in practically
all of the newspapers in the United
States and many of the magazines in
order to make clear to the people the
conditions of the contest.
Many lists contained enormous
numbers of words which, under the
rules, had to be eliminated ‘'Pegger”
would count “Peggers” would not.
Some lists contained over 50,000
words, the great majority of which
were cut out. The largest lists were
checked over two and in some cases
three times to insure accuracy.
The $100.00 gold prize was won by
L. D. Reese, 1227-15th St., Denver,
Colo., with 9941 correct words. The
highest $10.00 gold prize went to S.
K. Fraser, Lincoln, Pa., with 9921 cor-
rect words.
A complete list of the 331 winners
with their home addresses will be
sent to any contestant enquiring on a
postal card.
Be sure and give name and address
clearly.
This contest has cost the Co. many
thousand dollars, and probably has
not been a profitable advertisement,
nevertheless perhaps some who had
never before tried Grape-Nuts food
have been interested in the contest,
and from trial of the food have been
shown its wonderful rebuilding pow-
ers.
It teaches in a practicable manner
that scientifically gathered food ele-
ments can be selected from the field
grains, which nature will use for re-
building the nerve centres and brain
in a way that is unmistakable to
users of Grape-Nuts.

HANDS RAW WITH ECZEMA.
Suffered for Ten Years—Spread to
Body and Limbs—Cured by the
Cuticura Remedies.
‘‘I had eczema on my hands for ten
years. At first it would break out
only in winter. Then it finally came
to stay. I had three good doctors to
do all they could, but none of them did
any good. I then used one box of
Cuticura Ointment and three bottles
of Cuticura Resolvent, and was com-
pletely cured. My hands were raw
all over, inside and out, and the ec-
zema was spreading all over my body
and limbs. Before I had used one bot-
tle of Cuticura Resolvent, together
with the Ointment, my sores were
nearly healed over, and by the time
I had used the third bottle, I was en-
tirely well. I had a good appetite and
was fleshier than I ever was. To any
one who has any skin or blood dis-
ease I would honestly advise them to
get the Cuticura Remedies, and get
well quicker than all the doctors in
the State could cure you. Mrs. M. E.
Falln, Speers Ferry, Va., May 19,
1905.”

Tricks of Smugglers.
Double-bottomed bottles and othei
vessels are common contrivances for
smugglers. In order not to awaken
suspicion they are usually filled with
some beverage, beer or wine, and this
is duly declared by the man in charge
of the vehicle in which they are car-
ried. At the present time, however,
the officers are never deceived by the
double-bottomed bottles, nor, for that
matter, by the hollow horse collar,
which at one time was a favorite dodge
for the alcohol smuggler.
It Quenches the Fites.
“Your Hunt’s Cure is beyond doubt
the most remarkable remedy for skin
diseases ever formulated. For eight
years I have suffered almost constant-
ly from itching trouble the doctors
called Eczema. My skin was on fire,
but less than one box of Hunt’s Cure
quenched that fire.
“Many of my friends have since used
it on my recommendation, and it never
fails. Where there’s an itch rub it on.
It does the work—that's all.”

Advancement in Afghanistan.
The ameer of Afghanistan has en-
gaged an electrical engineer to in-
stall electrical machinery in the fac-
tories in the new town which ho is
building, 30 miles north of Cabul. The
arms and ammunition factories will
probably be moved there, and manu-
facturing industries started.

Lower Animals in Sickness.
Man might often take from the low-
er animals a lesson as to the care of
himself when ill. All sorts of animals
suffering from fever eat little; lie
quiet in dark, airy places, and drink
quantities of water. When a dog loses
his appetite he knows where to And
dog grass, which acts as a purgative
and emetic. Sheep and cows, when
ill, seek certain herbs. Any apimal
suffering from chronic rheumatism
keeps as far as possible from the
sun. If a chimpanzee be wounded he
has been seen to stop the bleeding by
a plaster of chewed-up leaves and
grass.

There is a beauty in health which is
more attractive to men than mere regu-

Sheep-Killing Parrot.
The kea is a greenish-brown parrot
of New Zealand, which is as dangerous
to the sheep of that country as wolves
would be. These carnivorous birds
fasten themselves on the backs of
grazing sheep, tear through wool and
skin to the kidney fat, which they
devour, leaving the unfortunate animal
to perish in agony.
