Some val- uable hints are given by a woman contributor to the January Deline- ator. She says: “I am proud of the economies I practise in the culinary line. I can make one egg go a long way. The yolks give one either mayonnaise dressing or fritters; the whites a cake or frosting for a cake. “Out of ten cents worth of soup meat I succeed in getting my stock, and, before putting it into the pot, I cut off enough meat to make a tasty casserole (consisting of the meat, a little garlic, green peppers, tomato or whatever vegetable I may have| on hand). “A Sunday dinner for three often consists of tomato soup, a cross-rib roast (pot roast or cooked rare), spaghetti, Italian style, browned po- tatoes, and the half egg fritters and coffee. Hamburg steak appears up- on the table under the guise of bird,s nest savory, portions of hard-boiled egg being encased in each meat ball and accompanied by a tasty tomato sauce (whose secret is long cooking). “Corned beef and cabbage, straight one day, is responsible for| a-meal the following day, consisting of corned beef hash and cabbage | au gratin. My company cake is a marshmallow one which I made out of one egg and five cents, worth of mallows. “Brownies are on my favored cake list; one egg, ten cents’ worth ofnuts and a little molasses make a plateful of small cakes which are excellent. These are a few of my economies.” HOSPITAL FOR INSANE CRITICISED. According to the annual report of the state board of visitors which has just been filed with Governor Eber- mart, the inmates of hospitals for the insane in Minnesota are “canned like sardines.” The report declares that the pres- ent institutions are so badly over- crowded that great injustice is done to the inmates. The board of visitors recommend: A new aslyum to relieve over- crowded- institutions. More industrial work and’ recre- ation for the insane. Fire proof buildins only. Eight hour day for nurses, with seperate sleeping quarters. Transportation nurses to convey persons to hospitals. No: disease to which humanity is subject (18 quite =0 pathetic as'that of ‘insanity and a sacred duty.is im- posed upon society to. care for these unfortunate invalids. From time to time charges of brutality and incompetence on the part of hospital employees are made. There probably is little grounds for these assertions but when the board of visitors find that the hospitals are crowded to suffication there is good reason to make plans for en- |larged and proper quarters for in- sane patients. Every city, village, town and ham- let has its representation in these houses of sorrow -so that the gques- tion is as broad as the state itself. The public has a right to expect the incoming legislature to take proper and prompt measures for the pro- tection of patients in the insane hospitals. IWHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY I The Naked Truth. The society woman complains that she ‘“really has nothing to wear”—and then dresses as if it was the truth.—Bede’s Budget. No Fun Being More Than Half That. If we have ever said anything mean about Mr. Carnegie, it is with- drawn. He has just given $10,000’- 000 to promote the cause of inter. national peace. If there is anything we have never cared {or it is going a loog distance away from home to be killed by the enemy.—A. J. R. Minneapolis Journal, Akeley Has Hopes. Akeley will be the best town in Northern Minnesota when all towns within the jurisdiction of the treaty of 1855 are closed. ‘‘More--hard earned Akeley dollars have been spend in Walker the past year than |in Akeley for groceries,” is the start- ling statement made by a well in- | formed gentlemen of Akeley. While the statement may be a trifle over- estimated it will not be questioned that Walker has prospered off Akeley money.—Akeley Herald-Tribune. Inventions Made By Women. A woman patented a contrivance for trimming the bottom of dress skirts so they would hang evenly— a great boon to the home dress- maker. Another suggested to her husband, who was mechanically in- clined, that the thermometer on the outside of an oven really told nothing about the heat inside; what the oven needed was a heat value—some arrangement whereby an -aperture in the oven would automatically open when there was too much heat, thus maintaining the correct temperature for baking bread. He perfected the idea, patented it, and has profited largely through its sale. Another woman, after unsuccessful efforts to find a corset that would adjust itself to her corpulent figure, discovered the lack that had not been provided for by the corset makers and set about designing one to suit herself. She perfected her plan, found it a great comfort, patented the idea, and is today at the head of a large factory where these special corsets are made. = An invalided husband had reduced: ber sewng by the day for a living for both before she thought of her new corset. Another woman discovered through experiment a food-mixture that made her hens lay; she gave it a name, patented it, and put it on the wmarket with the greatest success. Another compounded a disinfectant that killed insect life in ber chicken- house, and that also proved - efficac- ious for use in hospitals and homes following infectious illnesses. This was patented and now sold in large quantities,—The Delineator for January. When Lincoln 8at For His Bust. ‘When Vinnie Ream, the scuiptor, was a mere child still and her. experi- eénce in modeling consisted of a few busts and medallions she timidly ask- ed President Lincoln to permit her to model his bust. *I don’t know why any one should want the picture or statue of so homely a man,” he an- swered and at first declined to sit. But when Senator Nesmith told him that the western girl, “who was. poor, but talented.,” would be disappointed if unable to secure this favor he turn- ed quickly and said: “She is poor, is she? Well, that is nothing against her. and I will sit for the model.” During the sittings the great man would watch with. much interest the hands of the girl sculptor at her work: but, speaking of him later, she said: “For the most part he was sad and silent, weighed upon by the stress of a nation in peril and his own recent personal loss of a beloved son. Ah. those were sad days at the White House! One day the president's eyes were full of tears as he turned from gazing out of the window, and he said to me, ‘I am thinking of Willfe.’ "—De- signer. . WEEKSMAY HEAD THE GOMMITTEE Massachusetts Man Slatedfor Republican Chairman. SPECIAL MEETING LIKELY National Committee Expected to Meet in Washington..Next Month for the Purpose of Carrying Out This Plan of the Party Leaders, Which Is Also 8aid to Have the Hearty Approval of Presicent Taft. Washingion, Dec. 30.—It is planned by the leaders of the Republican party, with the hearty approval of President Taft, to have a special meeting of the Republican national committee in Jan- uary 2t Washington, when in all prob- ability Representative John W. Weeks of Newton, Mass., will be elected chair- man. Postmaster General Hitchecock, who tentatively resigned as chairman in favor of J. F. Hill of Maine, who is acting chairman, will relinquish his connection with the committee alto- gether and devete all his time to the postoffice department. Mr. Weeks may not have a unani- mous election. There is an element in the committee inclined, it is said, to favor James A. Hemenway of Indiana who was succeeded in the United States senate by Benjamin F. Shively Mr. Hemenway represents the conser- vatives as against the radicals and is one of the very closest friends. of Speaker Cannon. It is altogether prob- able that the weight of control will be thrown in favor of Mr. Weeks, how- ever. Weeks Has Good Record. Mr. Weeks is one of the most sub- stantial members of congress and a man of affairs. So tactful has he been in- party affairs and in the house of representatives that there is little doubt that he will be elected United States senator from Massachusetts to| succeed Senator Lodge unless Mr. Lodge wins the election on the first two or three ballots. He impressed the president witn his ability when, al- though he did not heartily support the idea of the postal savings banks bill, | he threw his influence for that meas- ure as one favored by the Republican national platform and put it through the house. . Mr. Weeks is a banker, being a member of the firm of Hornblower & Weeks of Boston, president of the Newtonville Trust company of New- ton and vice president of the First National bank of Boston. He is a graduate of the naval academy and served as midshipman. He served in the Massachusetts naval brigade for ten years and was lieutenant in the volunteer navy during the war with Spain. He is fifty years old. His. Bedtime. “When do.you wind your watch,” iasked the man with the bulging brow— *“morning or evening?” “Generally in the morning,” answer- ed the man with the bulbous nose. “I always wind mine just before 1 80 to bed.” “Well—er—so do 1.”—Chicago Trib- une. What She Would Do. “Johnnie, dear,” said his mother, who ‘was trying to inculcate a lesson in in- ‘dustry, “what do you suppose mamma iwould do for you if you should come to hev some day and. tell her that you loved your studies?” “Lick me for telling a falsehood,” sald dear little Johnnie with the frankness of youth. A Quick Return Business. “You said you were going into some business that would bring you quick returns,” said a young fellow to his chum. “I did,” was the answer. “I am send- ing manuscripts to the magazines.” ONLY ONE “BEST" Bemidji Pe!ple Give Credit Where Credit is Due. . People: of Bemidji who suffer with sick kidneys and bad backs want a kidney remedy that can be depended | rea upon. The best is Doan’s Kidney Pills, a -medicine for the kidneys only, made from pure roots and herbs, ;:and the only one that is backed by cures in Bemidji. Here’s Bemidji testimony: Mrs, Henry Revor, 808 Bemidji Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: "I con- sider Doan’s Kidney Pills by far the best medicine I have ever known of for 'disordered kidneys. For weeks at a time I suffered from .backache and it seemed that I could get nothing that would relieve me permanently. Doan’s Kidney Pills however, acted differ- ently than any.other preparation I had ever tried and made me feel like another person.
