Tie NOn-AbsOrbent Bread and Pastry

In no part of the household realm has
such advancement been made, as in the
variety and production of convenient and
labor saving appliances for the kitchen.
A desirable BREAD AND PASTRY
BOARD is one of the most important
health and labor saving devices vet to be
introduced, as the ordinary wooden board
is unhealthy, laborious and wasteful, and
in every respect unsatisfactory. 1t there
fore gives the agent great pleasure to of
fer to the housewives of this vicinity the
patent Non-Absorbent Bread and Pas
try Board, the triumph of simplicity and
perfection, an ideal board on WHICH to
prepare bread, pastry and other food.
1t is hygienic and sanitary, having n
highly polished metallic kneading and
rolling surface, microbes nor disease
germs cannot enter. 1t is easily and
quickly cleaned with damp cloth, no
scraping nor securing being required, as
dough will not adhere to it. No more
flour is required than is necessary to tenn
per the dough, the good results of which

liquids can be mixed without being alb

nor soft fibrous surface to become rancid
and foul. Being extremely light and at
tractive, it is acknowledged by all to be
superior to the heavy and expensive
slabs frequently used, thus making it the
only practical. non-absorbeut board
ever offered for domestic use.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laXa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Coz only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

Mrs. Langtry's appearance at the
Haymarlkct theatre in London Thurs
day evening in Sydney Grundy's new

trnyed what are generally understood
to be scenes taken from her own life.
The realism of the initial act is in
tense, beginning, rs it does, all the
scandals associated with her name.
Mrs. Langtry acted better than ever
before, seeming to throw herself thor
oughly into the spirit Of the comedy,
which bristled with epigrams, but is
occasionally vulgar.

Ripening . Trihe Too Fast-weather
Favorable for Farm Work.
The past week has been warm, with
scattered showers in the southeastern
portion of the state. The average
daily excess in temperature has been
between three and four degrees. The
maximum temperatures on the first
days of the weeks ranged from 20 to
l0l degrees.
The rainfall of the week was very
light, except in small areas in Rich
ardson. Johnson, Saline, Nuckolls and
Franklin counties, where an inch or
more fell. Light, scattered showers
occurred in the central and southeast
ern counties, while in the northern and
western counties little or no rain fell.
The past week has been an excellent
one for haying, stacking and thresh-
ing. Most of the small grain is now
either threshed or in the stack. The
yield of wheat in the northern cuun
ties is generally between ten and If
teen bushels per acre. Hay is gener-
ally a good crop. The dry weather,
with high temperature, has been un-
favorable for corn in most parts of the
state. In parts of the southeastern
section, where the moisture was suffi-
cient, corn has advanced rapidly to-
a maturity without injury. In
other parts of the state it has deterio-
rated somewhat in condition and has
ripened too rapidly. Good progress
has been made with blowing, and a lit
tie seeding has been done. The ground
was getting too dry to pillow we'll in
most sections by the last of the week.
