he has met in arranging the commit

republican members would be so am
bilious for good places, and he had
not the least idea they would be so
unfortunate in seeking them. The
refusal of the combine, which elected
the officers of the house, to turn over
any of the offices to those who were
opposed to it heightens the embar-
rassment of the speaker. This element
says it has been left without patron

celebrated Belgian physician says
that yawping is an exceedingly healthy
function generally, besides having a
very solutary effect in complaints OF
the pharynx and eustachian tubes. Ac-
cording to the results of late investiga-
lions, yawnng is the most natural form
of respiratory exercise, bringing into
action all the respiratory muscles of
the chest and neck. 1t is recommended
that every person should have a good
yawn with stretching Of the limbs,
morning and evening, for the purpose
OF ventllating the lungs and tonifyng
the muscles of respiration. An emf
nent authority claims that this form Of
gymnastics has a remarkable effect in
relieving throat and ear troubles, and
says that patients suffering from dis
orders of the throat have derived great
benefit from it, He makes his patients
yawn either by suggestion, imitation,
or by a series of full breaths with the
lips partly closed The yawning is re-
peated six or eight times, and should
be followed by swallowing, By this
means the air and mucus in the eusta-
chan tubes are aspirated.

The temperature at which bread Is
both raised and baked is of the great
est Importance in producing the per-

proper raising temperature at from SO

the baking temperature at from 400
degrees to 500 degrees. In late paper
on bread-maling he cautions the
housewife against cooling the loaves
of bread too rapidly after taking them

of Bread" he adds, sis doubtless due to
lack of care during cooling. Owing to
the high-water contents, and the large
amounts of heterogeneous substances and
sugar which bread contains, it is, es-
pecially while warm, good soil for
the development of various kinds of
molds and bacteria. A loaf of bread
hot from the oven, taken into poorly
ventilated room crowded with people,
will become sour in the course of two

A Test of Character,

An election is sometimes spoken OF
as test of character. Certainly a
man who can run the gauntlet.and come
out unscathed in reputation must have
a straight record The unfairness of
the election test lies in the fact that it
is the bad qualities of the candidates
rather than both their bad and good
qualities that are held up. Such
kinds of tests are elevating neither to
the public nor to the ordinary political
life. The writer always liked the re-

~ ~ -

Our representative has made careful in
vestigation of the H. E. Spaulding case at
Longview, which is here published for the
first time, and which will be read with great
interest by medical men everywhere. In
reply to the Christian Advocates questions
Mr.. Spaulding said: About eight years ago
while running locomotive l contracted
sciatic rheumatism in my left side from
my hip down. 1t came on slow but sure

as if it was paralyzed, was totally unable
to move out of my room for year and
half, six months of which time was bed
ridden. l tried every remedy suggested,
and had regular physicians in constant at
tendance on me. I was bundled up and sent
to Hot Springs where spent three months
under the treatment of the most eminent
specialists, all of which did me no good,
and came back from the springs in worse
condition than when l went I came
home and laid fiat on my back and
suffered the most excruciating agonies,
screaming in pain every time any
body walked across the room, the only ease
obtained being from the constant use of
opiates. After three months of this kind

Texarkana, and who was relieved of loco
motor ataxia of twenty years duration. At
his urgent and repeated solicitation 1 con-
sented to give them a trial, after taking
few doses began to improve. continued
taking the pills and kept right on improving
until 1 was finally cured. Ny leg is just the
same size now as the other one, and I am
sure that Pink Pills not only cured me but
saved life.
The reporter next visited Dr. C. H. STAINS

schools OF Kentucky, and q man who en-.
joys the confidence Of everybody in Long
view. He said: II KIN ow that Mr.. Spauldine

everything known to my profession in vain

worse than when he went and / thought it
was only matter of time until his heart
would be affected and he would die. / also

That is rather an unusual statement for

HANDLING FEED STUFF.
Convenient Arrangement Seen In an Ohio
Dairyman's Barn.

Convenient Arrangement Seen In an Ohio
Dairyman's Barn.
Many devices for the economical and
convenient handling of feed stuffs
about the stables have been frequent
ly described and illustrated, but the
accompanying sketch may be of value
to many farmers, especially dairymen
who have siIos. The principle upon
which these bins are constructed is
such that their capacity can be en-
larged or diminished as desired.
The illustration was recently
sketched at the dairy barn of Mr.. E.
B. Jones. 1t strikes the writer as a
most excellent idea to have the feed
bins on either side of the openings out
of the silo, with box 2 feet deep, 2
feet inches wide, and feet by 10
inches long, into which the ensilage is
thrown from the silo and the meal
taken out of the bin standing at either
side and mixed with the silage. These
bins measure 2 feet inches in hori-
zontal depth from front to silo, but can
be made any length desired. The
throat from the lower edge of the in
ward slanting board should be about
on level with the hinges of the door
and an s-inch space allowed for heavy
meals and 10 inches for bran.
One of the chief advantages of these
bins is that they are "a feet deep and
the feed is raised to the top of the
barn by rope and emptied into them,
thus saving large amount of area on
lower floor. The studding is made Of
Bx4-inch material and sided up with
surfaced hemlock, which is cheap, rat
and mouse proof, and having the
edges beveled so as to incline tow ard
the inside of the bin, is just as good as
matched mat erial.
Such bins can be economically con-
Btructed on the inside of two-story
barns, extended from the square to the

ABOUT OLEOMARGARINE,
Science Shows That the Stuff La Almos
Indigestible.

Science Shows That the Stuff La Almost
Indigestible.
1t is a favorite saying with the adj
vocates of oleomargarine that it is just
as digestible and wholesome as butter.
This is not true, and in the nature of
things cannot be true. First as to its
digestibility. Butter melts in the
human stomach at SO. 6 to a. 40 degrees
and passes readily into pancreatic
emulsion and digestion. AS will be
seen this is at point below the nat
ural heat of the human body. There
is no gastric or nervous strain neces-
sary to expel it from the stomach, for
it is substance designed by nature
for food in its own unchanged state.
Oleomargarine melts at los to 1Os 80
degrees The heat of the human body
is not sufficient to emulsify it and it
remains a dead, inert substance, and
causes severe nervous tension aud a
forced gastric action to expel it from
the stomach. This fact alone will
show that it is not as digestible
as butter. Besides it is not as whole
some. Invariably butter advertises its
own condition. No man or woman
need be deceived thereby. Any adj
mixture of deleterious elements is told
at once in a loss Of flavor. 1t is COM
posed of what are known as the basic
fats, stearine, oleine, palmatine and
number of other delicate f1avoring oils,
all highly conducive to digestion. Oleo-
margarine is composed of stearine
and palmatine mainly and in a condi-
ton unfit for digestion. 1t is rendered
at low temperature, not above 100
degrees Fahrenheit, and any man
ought to know that this is not enough
to destroy any germs of disease or in
lection which quite naturally might
come to it, from it's slaughter-house
surroundings. We admonish people
to cook their ham and pork most
thoroughly to avoid the danger of
trichina and other diseases. Such
cooking subjects the meat from 21a to
$50 degrees of heat; yet we are told
that oleomargarine is wholesome COM
ing from the same derivation and rem

more than warns it-Hoard'a Dairy.
