There is more Catarrh in this section of

supposed to. be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Utilizing Incubator EGGS

Eggs are expensive for chickens, bu,
when an incubator is used the clea,
ones are sometimes given as food, bu,
usually cooked hard. This is a mistake.
The best mode of feeding eggs to
chickens is to pour boiling water on the
eggs, beat them, and thicken the mess
to a stiff dough with corn meal. Fed
in this manner constipation will be
avoided, but they should not be used
oftener than every other day, giving

excellent, but they r usually fed too

be a miracle. The facts were so remarkable
that many people doubted the truth of them.
They said: 1T is too remarkable; it cannot

No class of people is so liable TO throat
trouble as the great class who make up the
Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the
vocal organs by constant exercise; the
sudden change from & heated building to
the cool air when the vocal organs are in
a state of complete relaxation; the fact
that a minister feels impelled to use his
voice when actors and lecturers would
tax the needed rest; these are among the
reasons why "~Clergymen's sore throat"
is known as a special disease. The Rev.
