One of the great beauties, and an
extraordinary privil- re of our Amer
ican form of government, is the right
of ever citizen to take a part in pub
lic affairs and particularly in gov
ernmental transactions. How many
follow party leaders, perhaps blindly,
aud lino late And that they made er
rors through not having understood
the situation? How many who are
negligent in the study of measures
that are brought up for consideration
both by state and national legislative
bodies, and too late find that unwise
laws wore enacted that directly op
pressed certain class* s to the ad
vantage of others? How many people
are gathered In by alluring promises
made in the finely printed literature
sent broadcast through the country
for the purpose of exploitation of
fraudulent stock companies, just
through not keeping informed as to
the means and methods employed by
schemers to entrap the unwary? It
is conservatively estimated that each
year more than $50,000,000, are taken
from the earnings of the people just
through the operations of fraudulent
mining, oil. Insurance and like con
cerns. It would be Impossible for the
promoters of such frauds to exist were
the i>eople careful readers of tCe
newspapers and the magazines.' the

counts of 'Uje doings of .'“gel-rich
qufck” scheme.', /
I hose days there t.4 every oppor
tunity for self-improvement. Rural
deliveries carry papers to the most
remote farms, and t dephones connect
the farmhouses in the average com
munity. If the people were only to
utilize the means so close at hand,
and to take the time to read, and ex
amine into such propositions as inter
est them, there would be less cause
for complaint on the part of those
who perchance get their “lingers blis
tered. ” It is evident from the success
that exploiters of schemes meet with,
that the majority of people lack good
business judgment, or that they are
blinded by some inherent gambling de
sire. It is always a safe plan to avoid
any investment that offers more than
legitimate returns on an investment
Any proposition that will pay even
ten per cent, a year, and where the
principal is secured, can find all tlie
capital that may be required for its
operation, without calling upon the
general public. It Is only the uncer
tain kind of investments, the ones
that are a “gamble." such as mining,
and the like, that are most prominent
1n the advertising columns of the pa
pers. The basis on which the promot
ers work, is the inclination of the peo
ple to seek great returns for little
money. It is the same- sentiment that
allows numerous establishments lo
cated In different parts of the country
to dispose of cheap goods at enormous
profits through holding out to the peo
ple the promise of extraordinary
values. The well informed man will
avoid all kinds of investment schemes
that are designed to draw money from
the pockets of the people, and will
also refuse to buy any “pigs In bags,”
it matters not whether the mailer of
barter be stocks and bonds or the nec
essaries of life.

In democratic countries like Ameri
ca, where the fate of the nation is in
the hands of the people, the future of
tin* nation is in the hand-, of the chil
dren. They must he fitted for their
high responsibilities by the influence of
the home. This country should fear
the disloyality and contention of the
fireside more than the nefarious plots
of scheming politicians. If boys
wrangle and contend at home, if they
cannot discuss with dignity the little
questions that arise from daily inter
course with one another, be sure
they will not honor the nation when
they take their places in the senate,
parliament or congress to discuss the
great problems that confront the civil
ization of the twentieth century.

This is a family name for bits of
mutton, lamb or veal which are too
ragged to be served in any other way.
j They are first passed through a chop
j ping machine and then mixed with an
equal quantity of cold rice (boiled),
and seasoned with pepper, salt and
curry powder and a little chopped
parsley or celery if it is at hanA. Form
into small cakes or croquets, using .a
raw egg to hold them together; dip
In egg, roll in crumbs and fry7 in deep
lard. Any cold, cooked cereal can be
used instead of tho rice, although rice
seems to lend itself to curries with
peculiar appropriateness.
The correct test of a Drug

which Prescriptions and
Medicines are prepared.
The public lias a right to

demand has been the con
