Mrs. Hayes Harmless StimuIant

Mrs. Hayes always declared that a
perfectly adequate substitute for liquor
when needed as a stimulant could be
found in hot milk, and after any cold
or wetting she gave this in place of the
wine or whisky which others would
have considered necessary. This is,
by the way, custom of Mrs. Cleve-
lands also. who discovered, after many
long and wearisome receptions she
was obliged to go through, standing
for hours on her feet and shaking
hands with hundreds of people, that
nothing would restore her SO quickly
as cup full of boiling milk brought
to her by her maid, and which she
drank in little sips as hot as it possibly
could be taken. The Washington girls
caught the idea from her. and finding
how quickly it helped them after a
hard day of calls and social duties,
they began to substitute it for the va
rious malt preparations they had been
In the habit of taking, or the hot wine

Why Extra Care Should he Taken to Sc

One of the most careful writer's and

scratches. farcy. mango and CHAMBERS
Nor is it wonderful that when disease
appears it spreads rapidly through the
whole stud, since they have all been
exposed to the same kind of provoking
causes. Ammonia is a pungent gas,
and acts powerfully on eyes. nose and
lungs. Since any affection of the wind
and sight of the horse greatly damages
the animal. it is sufficient reason
for extra care to secure good ventila-
ton.
Throwing damp bedding forward I'M
der the manager defiles the feed, and
the horse is compelled to breathe poi

be removed from the stable entirely
each morning. At least carefully re-
move all that is wet. and pile the re-
mainder in the rear, rather than under
the nose of the horse Since the DAYS
of close, warm stables. pneumonia and

tremes of heat and cold tax the system

commercial empire outlined above, and
a trip over this grand aggregation will
convince the most skeptical that the Van

the very heart of the business por-

GLOVER FOR POULTRY.
A Hint for Those Who Like to Get Plent
of Eggs in Winter.

A stitch in time saves nine, as the
old saying goes, and take this maxim
to show how you may have eggs in
plenty next winter. If we do not look
ahead for those things now. we're apt
to get left at the time when eggs are
most needful. / shall not ask you to
do impossibilities, but tell you how to
do these things right at home without
any extra expense. Take good cider
barrel. remove the head without
breaking it all to pieces, SO that you
can use it to put back again. then pack
your barrel down tight with the Sec
ond crop clover hay, the younger and
tenderer the better. When 1 say
pack it down tight, mean it must be
rammed and damned down as though
you had a grudge against it. When
your barrel is full, put on your lid and

leaving the cheese of clover standing
in dry place, and when you want to
use it take long, sharp knife and
shave it off in as short lengths as you
can. Feed it to your hens for a noon
day meal, emitting grain. 1t isn't
necessary to go into details and tell
why all this trouble is taken; suffice it
to say that clover is an egg-food.
Every farmer knows that when poul-
try have access to a clover-patch they
always give an abundance of eggs.

corn diet is too fattening, although
they must have fair portion of it in

MAKING GRAHAM BREAD.
Shirley Dare Explains in Her Simple wa
How 1t Is Done.

Shirley Dare Explains in Her Simple way
How 1t Is Done.
In the first place see that the flour Is
good and freshly ground, not too BRAN
ny Or full of black specks. or in the
least bit musty. Flour often spoils in
hot weather if kept in bulk, or in a
damp, ill-aired place. or near strong
smelling food. Sift it to see if the bran
is clean, and if satisfactory put it back
with the flour again. The best bread
is made with two tablespoons of mo-
lasses to the quart of -four, half tea
spoon of salt. and sour milk to make a
stiff batter, with a teaspoon of baking
soda dissolved in cold water to the pint
of liquid just as it is poured into the
flour. A tablespoonful of melted but
ter may be added also. The bread re-
quires no kneading or rising, but
should go at once into hot oven and
bake to crisp brown crust Very little
bread, either white or brown, is baked
enough to be wholesome, and the slack
baked stuff sets up a ferment in the
stomach which ruins health. Bread
made simply with baking pow
der Or cream of tartar and soda,
with or without milk in the water
to mix it, is more easily digested
than yeast bread. especially in sum-
mer, but good yeast bread of whole
meal, with little molasses and very
little Or no corn meal, mixed in a
sponge. stirred up without kneading,
and thoroughly baked. is a good
household bread. If it grows moist
by keeping in summer. slice thin and
toast or bake crisp to preserve its
wholesomeness.
Bread in the slightest degree
clammy, sour or musty is bad at any
time. but rank poison in summer, and
much of the disorder attributed to ma
laria and other things is set on foot by
miserable bread. Not one bakery in
ten sells bread fit to eat. The flour is
inferior, the bread trays seldom
cleaned properly. the bread is acid
enough to cause dangerous ferment in
the stomach in warm weather. and SO
slack-baked as to start fungus in a
loaf in a short time. Healthy, safe
bread keeps longer by two days than
any other. The only safe bread for
dyspeptics in hot weather is a crisp,
thin cracker of whole meal mixed stiff
with water, salt and tablespoonful
of butter in the quart of flour, rolled
out as thin as possible, and baked
brown in a hot oven. A little sugar
may be added if we'll borne, and the
butter left out if it does not suit the
digestion, but the cracker must be
thoroughly baked. Shirley Dare.

Trifles That Count.

into the way of habitually disregard
ing any little piece of work, that. OF
itself, is trihing. and fail to look to the
little wastes that are constantly going
on around them in consequence.
Such is the case on the farm, espe.
cially; very few farmers are given to
considering how much these little
things amount to in the course of a
year. Although quite insignificant,
when considered individually, these
trifes count up amazingly, directly
and indirectly, in a twelve-month.
A little mouse-hole in the grain-b bin

farmer thinks that, in his hurry, it is

A little pile of earth or rubbish

matter it is not noticed until the

If not attended to, they will absorb

Confidence Begot of Success.

So confident are the manufacturers of that
world-famed remedy, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, that it will do all that
they represent, in the cure of liver, blood
and lung diseases, that, after witnessing its
thousands of cures for many years past,
they now feel warranted in selling it (as
they are doing, through druggists) under a
positive guarantee of it's giving satisfaction
in every case, or money paid for it will be
refunded. No medicine of ordinary merit
could be sold under such severe conditions
with profit to its proprietors, and no other
medicine for the diseases for which it is
recommended was ever before sold under a
guarantee of cure or no pay. In all blood
taints and impurities of whatever name or
nature, it is most positive in it's curative eff
fects. Pimples, blotches, eruptions and all
skin and scalp diseases are radically cured
by this wonderful medicine. Scrofulous
diseases may affect the glands, causing
swellings or tumors; the bones, causing
'fever-sores,' - "white swellings" or chip.

causing pulmonary consumption. No mat

toilet to dress your room and it's ar

An Accountable Legacy.

A tendency to rheumatism is undoubtedly
inherited. Unlike many other legacles, il
remains in the family. The most effectual
means of checking this tendency, or of re-
moving incipient rheumatism, whether pre-
existent in the blood or not, is to resort to
Hostetter's stomach bitters as soon as the
premonitory twinges are felt. Multiplying
the influences of cold, exposure and fatigue,
the Bitters not only fortities the system
against their hurtful consequences, but sub
jugates malaria, liver and kidney complaint,
dyspepsia and nerve disquietude.
