A man who neglects his health is sailing
his craft of life in dangerous seas. He
cannot too soon awaken to the fact that he
is imperiling his most precious endow-
ment All the wealth in the world, all the
power in the world, all the pleasure in the
world, all the love and poetry and music
and nobility and beauty are but dust in the
mouth of the man who has lost his health.
Keeping healthy means looking after the
disorders that ninety mine men in a hum
bred neglect. You cannot get the average,
every day man to believe that indigestion
or biliousness, or costiveness or headache
or loss of sleep or appetite, or shakiness in
the morning and dullness through the day
amount to much anyway. He will pooh,
pooh - at you, until some morning he
wakes up and finds himself sick abed
Then he will send for doctor and find out
to his surprise that all these disorders have
been but the danger signals of a big malady
that has robbed him of his health possibly
forever 1t may be consumption or nerv-
ors prostration or malaria or rheumatism
or some blood or skin disease. It matters
not, they all have their inception in the
same neglected disorders. DR.. Pierce'S

Hams of Smithfeld.

Below is the method employed in
curing the celebrated Smithfeld hams:
The hams are placed in large tray
of fine Liverpool salt. Then the flesh
surface is sprinkled with finely ground
crude saltpeter until the hams are as
white as though covered by moderate
frost; or, say, use to 4 pounds of the
powdered saltpeter to 1000 pounds Of
hams
After applying the saltpeter imme-
diately salt with the Liverpool fine salt,
covering we'll the entire surface. Now
pack the hams in bulk, but not on piles
more than 8 feet high In ordinary
weather the hams should remain thus
for three days.
Then break bulk and resalt with the
fine salt. The hams thus sailed and re-
sailed should now remain in salt in
bulk one day for each and every pound
each ham weighs-that is, two pound
ham should remain two days, and in
such proportion of time for larger and
smaller Sizes
Next you wash with tepid water un-
til the hams are thoroughly cleaned,
and after partially drying rub the en-
tire surface with finely ground black
pepper.
Now the hams should be hung up in
the smokehouse, and this important op-
Grafton be begun. The smoking should
be very gradually and slowly done, last
ing 80 or 40 days, most packers using
green hickory or red oak to smoke
with.
After the hams are cured and smoked
they should be repeppered to guard
against vernin and then bagged. These
hams improve with age and may be con-
sidered perfect at about year old.
The conclusion naturally to be drawn
from these facts is that any ham treated
as these packers treat theirs would be
better than the average. The Smithield
ham, however, owes its popularity to
its peculiar flavor, and this flavor is not
due to the manner in which it is cured,
else any ham cured in the same manner
would rival it. 1t does not owe it's fla
vor to the manner of feeding altogether,
else hogs from other parts of the coun-
try could be brought here and perfected.
The necessary things, in the opinion of
the producers, may then be summed up
as follows:
A slow growing, peculiar shaped hog
Peculiar game favor produced by the
wild life in the woods and the nuts,
berries, etc., upon which it lives
Rapid production of flesh when the
fattening process begins. The fat formed
of corn and pure water.

Christmas Greens.

In olden times holly was used only to
deck the inside of houses at Christmas,
while ivy was used not only as vint-
ner's sign, but also among the ever
greens at funerals For formerly the
rooms were empowered with holly, ivy,
cypress bays, laurel and mistletoe. .
There are thousands Of quaint old
verses that could be quoted in praise of
the rosemary, laurel and mistletoe A
love OF nature, her fruits and flowers,
her roses and vines with their mystic
significance seems to have been a pre-
dominant trait among those who gath
cred at the Yuletide.

the musicians gradually and reluctant

munity of simple, honest, God-feaEing meii'
and women, have prepared the Shaker Di-
gestiye Cordial for many years, and it is al
ways the same, simple. honest, curative
medicine that has helped to make the Sha-
kers the healthy. long-liyed people that
they are. The Shakers never have indiges-
ton. This is partly owing to their simple
mode of life, partly to the wonderful prop
critics of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges-
ton is caused by the stomach glands not
supplying enough digestive juice. Shaker
Digestive Cordial invigorates the stomach
and all its glands so that after awhile they
don't need help. As evidence of the honesty
of Shaker Digestive Cordial, the formula is
printed on every bottle. Sold by druggists,
price 10 cents to 81 90 per bottle.
