Storing Sweet Potatoes.

After the crop of sweet potatoes is
grown, one often finds trouble in stor-
ing them so that they will keep. 1t is
best to dig them on a warm sunny
day, and let them lay short time be-
fore picking them up, that is, long
enough for all dirt that adheres to
them to dry; then they should be
picked up, being sorted as they are
picked, putting potatoes of the same
size in same bucket, then carry to
some warm dry room and spread
thinly in racks or shallow boxes with
holes bored in the bottom to let the
lair circulate through. Those intend
ed for early winter use may be left in
the racks, they will keep for some
time all right; but those intended for
late winter and spring use, should
when thoroughly dry, be wrapped,
each one by itself in piece of paper
and dropped in paper bags, and the
bags hung in a warm, dry, dark closet.
Treated in this way, one may have
sweet potatoes until May. 1t is not
much trouble towrap justtake a
piece of paper, roll up the potato in
it, give the ends twist to keep them
closed and the thing is done. If one
gets tired of the sweet potato baked
and boiled, try them friend. Peel and
wash and wipe, then slice them thin,
and fry brown in hot fat; these make
fine Saratoga chips" Sweet potato
pie Boil and mash enough to make
teacup full, while it is still hot add
to it a cup of warm milk and two well
beaten eggs, three tablespoons of
sugar and sprinkle of any spice you
prefer. Bake same as pumpkin pie.
You must use the potato while hot, or
the pie is apt to be lumpy. If there
are any baked or boiled sweet potatoes
left, scrape them free from skins
into a dish while hot, add little melt
ed butter and milk, mix all up into
fine mass, make into cakes and when
wanted, dip in egg and fry in hot fat

ernment. In both cases there were dis
senting opinions coneurred in by four
of the nine Justices of the Court.
The decisions were rendered in the
room of the Senate Committee on Ju-
dietary, where the Court is sitting tenn
porarily, and owing TO the limited space
there were comparatively few persons,
and those lawyers. present. The de-
livery of the opinions in chief. with the
reading of the dissenting opinions, con-
sumed a little more than an hour, and
were listened to with the closest at
tention.
1t is generally believed that the find
ing in the Philippine case will lead to
early efforts TO secure legislation for
the regulation OF our commercial rela-
tions with those islands. As the Porto
Rican opinion sustains the constitu-
tionality of the Foraker act, no sucn
necessity will arise with reference TO
Porto Rico.
Justices Gray. White, Shiras and

va Opinions were rendered in the .

VYTASHINGTON, December . -
va Opinions were rendered in the
Supreme Court today in the last
two of the insular cases. One of them
was that known as the Fourteen Dia-
mond Ring Case" involving the rela-
tionship of the United States TO the
Philippines from a tariff point of view.
and the other what is known as the
Dooley case No. ., involving the consti-
tutionality of the collection of duty on
goods shipped from New York to Porto
Rico
In the former case the court. through
Chief Justice Fuller held that the dia-
mond rings brought in from the Phil
ippines. and over which the case arose,
should have been exempt from duty un-
der the Paris treaty OF peace, as that
treaty made the Philippines American
territory. The decision in the Philip
pine case followed closely that of the
first Porto Rican case in the last term.
In the Dooley case decided today it
was held that the duty collected on
goods carried from New York to Porto
Rico was permissible. but that it was
in reality a tax for the benefit OF the
Porto Ricans themselves. rather than
an export duty. as was claimed by the

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(Bsnson's Plaster Is Pains Master.)

From the natural impulse to "put some
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief Of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these Is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as a curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other All
ments that make Winter a season of suffer
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years TO the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists Of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with Others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
fIty.fue highest awards.

Work OF Cattle Commission.

The state cattle commissioners have
been doing a large amount of work
within the past few months and the
per cent of tuberculosis found has been
larger than ever before. The increase
is due no doubt to the fact that most OF
the work has been done in herds where
there has never been an inspection be-
fore. Since Dec. LIST about 5000 head
of cattle have been subjected to the
test and of this number six per cent
have been slaughtered. The greatest
average previous to this time was
about four per cent.
The commissioners are receiving re-
quests constantly from farmers TO test
herds and nearly all animals condemn
ed are subjected to the test at the re-
quest of the owners. 1t is intended to
increase the work of the commission
and it is expected that many more
herds of the state will be visited with
i'm a short time. The opposition
against the commission that existed at
first is rapidly disappearing and their
work is consequently easier than for
merly.
