BAKED MILK FOR CONsUMPTIvNs.-
BAKED milk is an admirable food for
consumptive people and for most invaliis.
1t is made in this manner:-Put a quart
of good milk into stone jar; cover with
writing paper. tied down. Leave in a
moderately hot oven for eight or ten
hours. till it has the consistence of cream.
The amount of nourishment to be derived
from it is marvellous" It most closely
resembles condensed milk. and does not
differ much from milk-rice pudding, the
rice being q nice and digestlble addi-
ton. This reminds US to say to many
anxious inquirers that the perfect cure
for the most inveterate habit of constipa.
ton is simply to live on wheaton greats
and any kind of fruit: We have never
known a case which this diet failed to-
cure.-Dr. Nichols.

Ever since the flood Of February

the repair Of the roads along The

been spent upon these roads but
they are not in much better cohdi-
ton than they were just after tic

for them. What Is true Of these

men in the products refuse 10 per.
form this labor, when summoned
out by the Surveyor, and We don't
blame them for refusing. II Is q
disgrace to a county like Mason
that we should continue this old
and expensive wayof building and
keeping in repair our county roads.
The people ofthis county ought to
devise some other system for work.
ing our roads. AS the wet weather
sets in the roads will become soft,
and farmers can not get their pro-

people along the kanawha, on this
side, have been without . road.

company destroyed the road aud IL

ONO RIVER RAILROAD. : The
prospect for the early building o.
the Ohio River Railroad is now bet
ter than at any time since the pro
ject was FIRST proposed. The road
is completed between Parkersbure
and Wheeling, and is doing a good
business and making money. III
completion to this place would
make it o still better investment
and would give the road 40 outlet
The surveyors are now in this
county locating a permanent line,
The building Of this road, Of course,
depends upon the liberality Of our
land owners. We don't expect
them to give away their lands ID
this road, but do expect them to
sell the right of way to the Com.
pany at a moderate and fur price.
Extortionate prices will kill our
prospects for this road.
