ITNI7 TO DBAWCROWD Sm;ail iL~nsas Town's Unique I~i That Helps Trade. AMIUSEMiENTS ON SATURDAY. Committee Advertises Prizes For Light est Married Woman, Heaviest Lady, Queerest Dressed Boy-Fat Men's Race--Other Funny Stunts. The trouble with some small towns is that nothingll ever hcppens in them. That's why- people don't care to "come to town." The farmers around about atay att.h-me Saturday afternoons and piddle around if work is slack rather than hitch and drive into town and find themselves too lonesome to live. What the ,tmall town needs to keep up its spirits, attract people, draw trade and make life worth living is amuse n.ent. There is a little town in Kansas call ed Efflingham which has realized thiis fact and has done something unique. Efiiugham has a new Commercial club. 'Ie'l Commercial club has a special committee to work up "stunts." A "stunt" is something that is made to happen by artificial means. This com mittec got its several heads together and figured out a series of Saturday afternoon "stunts" that make most town affairs look like a plugged nickel. Every Saturday afternoon now there are hundreds of out of town people in Efiingham. Any town with spunk enough can do likewise. Those people trade at the stores and other places and help the town along. In a recent issue the Kansas City Star thus describes one of Effingham's "stunt" Saturdays: On Saturday the Commercial club just said that certain things would be done on Main street Saturday after noon at 2 o'clock, and Saturday after noon at 2 o'clock those same things were done. And there were about 200 farmers' wagons in town. That's all. They said there would be a fat men's race. There was. Five hun dred farmers brought their families to town to see it. The winner got a bug gy whip, a bottle of grape juice and a facial massage. They said there would be a twenty-five yard race for girls under twelve, the winner to be given a neck charm and two pounds of can dy. They said that each of the two heaviest women coming to town to gether in one vehicle should receive a china silk shirtwaist pattern, and the heavier $1 in cash. They said that the two lightest married women coming to town in one vehicle should receive a white embroidered parasol and a cake. They said the most ludicrously dressed boy should receive two collars, a necktie and a pair of socks. The week before they said there were $:30 in money and a sack of flour waiting for the heaviest load of women com ing to town in one vehicle. It rained Saturday in Effingham. It rained quite some, but the Commer cial club, through its committee on stunts, had said there would be things doing on Main street at 2 o'clock, and the rain didn't melt anything with them. They got a scraper and a team of mules, skinned about thirty inches of surface off Main street and in ten minutes everything was ready for the fat men's race. "All ready to enter here," called Willis Cuhoon. "This is the fat men's race. Who's in?" Doe White stepped up to the line. "I ain't a fat man," he said. "I only weigh 280, but I'm willing to show what I can do." "Here," said Jim Stewart, "I thought this was a fat men's race. I weigh 310, but I ain't going to run with no living skeleton." "Three hundred and twenty-six is my figure," said Roy Wallack as he toed the line, "but I'm willing to run with these race riders if White will take off that Panama hat. If the wind gets under that it'll blow him across the finish line. This ain't no aero plane contest; this is a foot race." "Cut out that talk and wait for the word," called out Starter Sharpless. "This is no debating society; it's a foot race to see who gets that facial mas sage." "I'll give Stewart his now if h l don't quit crowding," said Walhack. "Go!" The word caught Stewart with his m~outh open, and he lost valuable time getting it shut again that ought to have been devoted to getting his feet out of the mud. The crowd standing behind the starting line had to be told abont the race afterward. They didn't s.c anything after the first deluge of mud that followed the uplifting of thoee feet. They telephoned back frogm the finish that White was the winner. Thl weighing of the two heaviest women roused the partisanship of the crowd to the highest pitch. Cheers went up when .Mrs. John IHenry prov ed. by the scales that she weighed 205, !,pounds. Mrs. J. R. Goodpastura only smiled. "L.ad me to it." she said. As sin. 'tepped on the platform the .roewd nquivered with excitement. fS did the sales. "I may havl l ist sa.:e." said Mrs. Goodpasture idi:ud estly. "I haven't been weighed !n oe Se ttrt'an." at 4 o'clo:k."

Fannie Merritt Farmer, an authority on co.,:j'ing, gives the followhiug recipe, for a new sandwich in tice Wa onau's Home Compali;on: "Somerset sandwiches are as acnept able at an afternoon ten or evenig; recelption as at a picnic. Tlhe, are made from a bread the recipe of which, I think, is unknown to most or ixy readers, so I will give a list of the in gredients which go to male it, but wi:l presuppose that you know the princi ples of breadlnakihg: One-half cIupfull of scalded milkl, one-half cupful of boiling water, one-half tablespoonful of lard, one-half tablespoonful of but ter, two tablespoonfuls of mola :-ses, three-quarters of a teaspoonful of salt, one-half a yeast cake dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of lukewarm water, one half cupful of white flour and enough entire wheat flour to knead and one cupful of English walnut or pecan ant meats broken in pieces. The result is more satisfactory if the nut ments are added while kneading after the first raising. When this bread is twenty four hours' old, slice as thin as possi ble, spread sparingly and evenly with creamed butter and put oiange mar malade between slices. Remove crusts cut in triangles or any desired shape and garnish with halves of nut meats which need a bit of butter on thet undersurfaces to keep them in plache To keep moist pack the same as oth er sandwiches. If orange marmalade is not procurable, make the sandwiches without it, and even then you will havE a delicious novelty." FURNITURE NOVELTY. Umbrella Cabinet With Places For Holding Overshoes and Veils. A piece of furniture that is a decided novelty is an umbrella cabinet. No matter how handsome or elabo rate it may be, the ordinary receptaclE for umbrellas and walking sticks is not a thing of beauty and does not add tc the appearance of the hall in which it stands. This cabinet, however, is a really at tractive piece of furniture, which has the added advantage of protecting its contents from dust and dirt and con cealing them so that they do not seem to add to the decorative features of the hall. Around the sides of the cabinet and also inside both doors are brass hooks, into which the handles of the umbrel las or walking sticks are fastened. Several of the hooks have silk bags at tached for the protection of light color ed parasols or particularly handsome umbrellas. A long drawer in the lower part of the cabinet may be used for overshoes. and a shelflike arrangement in the top, which opens on hinges, is, useful for holding veils or gloves or small ar ticles left temporarily in the hall. The whole arrangement is quite cornm pact, occupying but small space, and the inlaid wood of which it is made adds much to the beauty of an article that is built onl plain but well propor tioned lin.es. THINGS WORTH KNOWING. An excellent mouth wash, especially in fruit season, because of its goodl el fect upon the teeth, is limewater. To make it pour a quart of boiled or dis tilled water over a teaspoonful of slak ed lime. Pour into a bottle and shake well every fifteen minutes for the first hour. Then allow the lime to settle and pour off the water, which should be bottled for use. There is no need of brushing the hair if the brush brings it out. Comb it gently with the coarse teeth and apply this tonic: Tincture of nux vomica. one ounce; spirits of rosemary, two ounces; alcohol, two ounce:. Apply several times a week to the roots of the hair. A bad complexion, lacking luster. elasticity and plumpness, often indi cates want of goodness in the vital or nutritive system. A mild diet, a gen tle temperature, an even digestion, open air exercise, sleep and tranquillity of mind are all necessary to loveliness. Freih meats to be nutritious should be rare. Avoid all highly spiced foods and drink plenty of water. Oranges. pineapples, grape fruit. olives, whole wheat bread, tomatoes and apples are all beauty foods. Substitute lemon juice for vinegar and eat sparingly of rich salads and pastries. Cult of the Cat. The day is past when everything lhat purs or mews is considered a cat worth having. With the ever increasing cult of the cat, owners a:re becoming more particu lar about good pdints, and considernale study is expended by fanciers on the necessary qualifications. Such qualifications of course vary with the breed. In long '-irdil c:ts the ruff Is the first thing toi be cl.eid ered. The tufts of hair between the toes, the ear tufts and the flexibility of the ieil come next. With the short haired cats the color Is of great importasice. and so are the eyes, ears nod the shape of the head. White cats should have blue -yes, black cats yellow eyes and fhose of other colors green eyes. Ilre are sonime of the gol pti:tls to bIe taken into consideration when boy ing a cat: Head--Great bIreath I lbet ween the eyes. Eyes---Itu.r.d and w ide open. Nose-shori and tapered. Frame--l.ight, deep chested. Legs-Stra ight. Ears--Small and rounded. Neck--Thin and graefuL. Tall-Bent at the end in long haire. -nts. Official Directory FEDERAL. United States Senato- I-HON. THUS.
