REVIEW
NEW SPELLING ADOPTED
President Orders It For White
House Documents.
Spelling Reformers Rejoice and Ex
pect the Cause Will Now
f"' fake Rapid Progress. -T
max
. . . -
Oyster Bay.L. I. President Roose
velt has indorsed th Carnegie spell
ing reform movement He issued or
ders to Public Prints Stillings that
hereafter all messages from the
President and all other documents
from the "White Mouse shall be
printed in accordance with the rec
ommendation of the Spelling Reform
Committee headed by Brander Mat
thews, Professor of English in Co
lumbia University.
This committee has published a
list of 300 words in which the spell
ing is reformed. This list contains
such words as "thru" and -"tho" as
the spelling for "through" and
"though." The. President's official
sanction of this reform movement is
regarded as the "most effective and
speediest method of inaugurating .the
new system of spelling throughout
the country.
Not only will the printpd docu
ments emanating from the President
utilize the reform spelling, but his
correspondence also will be spelled in
the new style. Secretary Loeb'has
sent for the list of words which have
been reformed, and upon its arrival
will order all correspondence of the
President and of the executive force
of the White House spelled in ac
cordance tnerewitn. as the spelling
Reform Committee shall adopt new
reforms they will be added to the
President's list and also to that of
the Public Printer. "
While the order to the Public
Printer does not contemplate an im
mediate reform in the spelling of offi
cial documents from the executive
departments in Washington, it is re
garded as more than likely that the
respective heads of the departments
will fall in line with the President's
ideas and have their official docu
ments printed in the new spelling.
GENERAL BANDERA KILLED.
Cuban Rebel Leader Hacked With
Machetes and Riddled With Lead.
Havana, 6uba. The body of the
negro, General Quentin Bandera, the
most daring insurgent in Havana
Province, was sent to the morgue at
Havana with those of two mulatto
comrades, all frightfully gashed.
The arrival of Bandera's body h?re
was the first news of the fight in"
which he met his death. The con
flict occurred at the Silveira farm,
near Punta Brava, fifteen miles from
Havana. A detachment of tnirty
Bight mounted Rural Guards, 'inder
Captain Ignacio Delgado and Lieu
tenant Martinez, were Searching for
Banflera's party when they were sud
denly fired upon hy Bandera'? twenty
followers. The Guards rushed upon
the insurgents, but with the execu
tion of their chief and his two lead
ing comrades they all succeeded in
getting away.
The bodies of Bandera and his
companions were placed in a wagon
and taken to Havana. Bandera's
body showed that his principal wound
was a severe machete blow on the
head, which cut off his left ear and
made an ugly incision in his face.
He also had bullet wounds in his
arms and breast.
The condition of Bandera's two
dead companions was even more
shocking. Their faces and heads
were terribly gashed by the heavy,
dull machetes of the Guards, and
they also had machete wounds in
their breasts and on their arms. The
clothes of all three men showed
every evidence of the hard life which
they had been leading while eluding
their pursuers.
BOROUGH CLERK DEFAULTER.
New Jersey Official Confesses Heavy
Embezzlement".
Orange, N. J.- Madison has a sen
sation which has been brought about
by the confession of "Borough Clerk
H.- Van Wagenen Meyer, that he is
an embezzler. It is feared the pecu
lations may reach $8000. Dr. Cal
vin Anderson, Mayor or tne uorougn,
when asked what explanation Meyer
had made, replied:
"It-was the old, old story. He had
merely anticipated salary payments
with the intention of putting the
money back, and it got beyond him,
Meyer succeed William N. Ball
in 1893, .'after -Ball had absconded,
leaving behind him a. shortage of
$2000. Simon F. Flanagan, a mem
ber of the Borough Council, has been
appointed In place of Meyer, who in
hi3 confession nrerely anticipated the
report of a citizens' committee which,
with an expert, has been going over
the books. The ostensible purpose
of thi3 overhauling of the borough
records was to start a new system of
accounting, but the real . purpose
seems to have been to discover a sus
pected shortage.

A large proportion of the Italian

Nothing in History of Railroading t
Compare With Present Trans
' . portation Demands. 5
Chicago, 111. -There is no way oi
measuring the volume of business
now coming to the Western rttib
roads, traffic officials say that prece-
Ldent does not offer a parallel condi
tion with which to compare the pres
ent situation. . The roads are prac
tically swamped with tonnage, and
some officials state that-ajull in the
movement or freight would be wel
comed, v
General business in all directions
continues to expand as a result ol
the bountiful crops. The corn crop
promises, to be a bumper one, and
farmers -are practically assured of
enormous returns for their grain.
Enough is known to create a belief
that the' country will not realize the
extent of Its prosperity for many
months .Railroad people are empha
sizing their optimism with rather
sensational orders for cars, rails and
structural material.
Industrial concerns, f great and
small, are clamoring for machinery
and material with which to carry
out their plans of expansion, and
manufacturers are pleading for ship
ping facilities with which to market
their products.
The production of pig iron hai
Increased and is at th rate of 25,-
205,000 tons a year, but stocks ar
low at the furnaces and consumption
is heavy. Northern furnaces havi
soldthetr outputs for this year and
made liberal sales for delivery in th
first quarter of 1907. The steel milli
have in most instance sold their prod
uct for this year, and most of then
are well sold up for the first quartet
of next year. ; The movement of lum
ber has ; grown - considerably larger,
and local and- contiguous consump
tion is large.
Low prices for Western bituminous
coal have reduced 'production in Illi
nois and Indiana, but the demand ia
'mproving and the trade has a health-
"er look. Cheap excursion rates from
.he Southwest and far West brought
in a lar&? -number of buyers to the
Varge distributing centres. A satis
factory volume of business has re
sulted.
Traffic officials say that It will be
?asier to get money to move th
crops with than to secure cars and
engines witn wnicn to haul the gralj
to market. They are predicting als
a year of large earnings, and witl
the farmer prosperous, indicationi
are all in favor of a good general
ousiness. The dry goods trade hat
felt the effects of the improved con
ditions probably more than any othe
iine.

Errors About the White House.
To the Editor:
I noticed somewhere recently I
would not say positively that it was
in your columnsan article on the
White House which contained several
mis-statements.
. In the first place it was stated the
White House .was first occupied in
1809, and that its first occupant was
President Madison.. The fact is, its
first occupant was President Adams.
who took up his residence there in.
1800. -
The original mansion was begun,
in 1792. In 1814. it was burned by
the British and rebuilt in ISIS.
Another , of the errors in the arti
cle referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on ther
White House to make it beautifully,
white. ' ' v
1 noticed this especially because t
have used considerable paint myself,
and wondered that "canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building, when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
. It so happened also that it knew
white lead and linseed oil not
ready-mixed paint were used on the
White House, because I had just read
a booklet published by a firm off.
ready-mixed paint manufacturers
who also manufacture pure white
lead. In that book the manufactur
ers admitted that for the White
House nothing but "the best and
purest of paint could be used," and
said that their pure white head had
been selected.

A TIP FOR THE COOK. . ,
The commonest mistakes we make
in cooking potatoes are that we use
too many fried and boiled potatoes
Fried potatoes are less easily diges
tible than food cooked in other waysC
The most wasteful way to cookT pota
toes is to peel them, put them in cold
water and bring them slowly to a.
boil. This method allows , the water
to penetrate to the centre of the po
tato so that a good deal of the starchu
may be dissolved and lost and the
potato becomes soggy because it has
not been "cooked dry." On the other
hand, if you put peeled or cut pota
toes Into boiling water the gluten ia.
hardened at once (as is that other
common nutritious food the white of
an egg), thus preventing the water:
from getting to. the starch and there
by insuring a mealy potato. '
The best way to cook potatoes is
to bake them, because a dry heat -e-ing
used none of the food value is
lost. Ntxt in nutritive order is the
boiling of potatoes with their skins
on. Next comes steaming, which
every one should practice 'instead ot
the common way of boiling, because it
wastes less starch, while giving the
same kind of flavor , and texture. Fry
ing is the least rational process. Ot
the "fancy" methods "ricing" is one
of the easiest and most attractive,
and it has the great advantage of be
ing useful for potatoes unfit for oth
uses. Garden Magazine.

GOOD NIGHt'S SLEEP.
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.
Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day "
time. To take "tonics and stlmu
rants" under such circumstances is
like setting the house on fire to see
if you can put it out.
The right kind of food promotes
refreshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day. ;
A lady changed from her old way
of eating to Grape-Nuts and says:, '
"For about three years I had beenc
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medi- ,
cine the doctor would ask me to drop
off potatoes, then meat, and so on,
but in a few days that craving, gnaw-,
ing feeling would start up and I
would ' vomit everything I ate and
drank.
"When I started on Grape-Nuts,
vomiting stopped, and the bloating
feeling which was so distressing dis
appeared entirely.
"My mother was very much both
ered with diarrhea before commenc
ing ; the . Grape-Nuts, because her
stomach was so weak she could not
digest her food. Since using Grape
Nuts she is well, and says she don't
trtnk she could live without it.
"It is a grsat brain restorer and
nerve builder, for I can sleep as
sound and undisturbed after a sdp
per of Grape-Nuts as in the old days
when 1 could not realize what they
rr.er-r.t by a "bad stomach." There
is no medicine so beneficial to nerves
p.nd brain as a, good night's sleep,
such as you can enjoy after eating.-Grcpe-Nuts."
