Word Coming into Everyday Use All

Why should an article in popular de-

stones in the Kidneys and Bladder, calculi

syllable of Calcurl is, therefore, derived
from and suggestive of Calculi. Cur, of
course, suggests euro. There you have. it.

surgeon can cure by the use of the knit 49,
that is, if he doesn't kill. Some remedies
nay cure by expelliny the stones from the
kidneys or bladder painfully, harshly,
dangerously. Calcura does not do this. 1t

BROOM-CORN FOR FOOD.

New Cereal Can he Prepared In Many APP
petizing Ways-Ru-sian Errnkfnst Dish.
A new kind of cereal food for hui
man consumption is to be introduced
in this country, if the department of
agriculture can persuade people to eat
it. 1t is brOom-corn millet, and the
plant was brought hither from Eu-
rope not long ago by botanical agents
of the government for use as forage.
However, there is no reason why it
should not furnish an article of diet
for people inasmuch as it may be pre-
pared in many appetizing ways. 1t
produces, under favorable conditions,
60 bushels of grain (seeD to the acre,
so that, in view of its highly nutri-
tious qualities, it is most economical
and otherwise desirable plant.
This broom-corn millet is so called
because, when growing in the fields.
it looks like broom-corn. There are
a number of varieties and the seeds
Chat is, the huls of them are of diff
ferent colors-yellow. white. brown
and gray. A graceful spreading tas-
sci crowns the stalk.
In Russia. where the plant
grown almost whony for use as human
food, it is called 'proco.' People in
that country eat it for breakfast in
form like oaten grts, or press the grits
into cake and Use them with soup.
The cereal also appears on their table
in pancakes. such as we make out of
buckwheat or Indian corn. Among
the peasants, especially in the region
of the Nolga, the broom-corn millet is
largely consumed.
One may judge of its popularity, in
deed. when it is stated that from Co.
100000 to 100000 bushels of the
grain are produced in Russia yearly
A special study was made of it re-
Gently by Dr. NJ. A. Carleton. who was
sent to Russia by Secretary Wilson to
gather agricultural information. He
says that the broom-corn millet can
be grown most successfully in this
country in the northern plains region
in the Dakotas, Minnesota and Ne.

the treacherous Valdez glacier claimed
one of the party for it's own. He dis
appeared in a assure in the ice, de-
scending distance of seventy-five feet,
where he became wedged between
walls of ice He remained conscious
and gave final Instructions to his com
panions, who were powerless to assist
him. The next misadventure was on
taft, which was tossed over thunder

the Jagged rocks. The five men made
a desperate fight for life, but three Of
them were never seen gain. Two
reached shore, one of whom was Sc
verely injured internally, and the other
with fractured arm. They were be-
reft of all provisions, hundreds Of
miles from civilization. After days of
untold suffering the spark of life in the
man injured internally was mercifully
extinguisned. His lone partner for
thirteen days wandered on without
food. After that his life became
blank for a period of twelve months,
and when his senses returned he found
himself among friendly Indians.

EAST LAKE.
Dr. Hawkins Breaches an Excellent
 Sermon at Methodist Church.

East Lake. August 25.-(special.)- Presbyterian churches this morning, but Rev. E. H. Hawkins of the Methodist church had large congregation. all the pews being filled. As Is usual with this popular pastor he preached an eloquent and forcible sermon from the text. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things" The text Is found in Cor, 9:25.
 The reverend gentleman introduced his discourse by referring to the participants in the old Athenian games, pointing out what great sacrifices they were willing to make and how readily they would de- prive themselves of even the comforts of life to obtain that training, that control of the muscles of the body, which would bring them off vistorlous in the contset. Continuing he pointed out how necess- ry to success in any line was this severe course of training, entailng upon the candidate the exercise of great deal or self denial and self preservation In no other way could the desired end be o6- talned. Self control Is essential to suc- cess, and self control can only be culti- vated by the exercise of self denial. Then came the lesson. If men are willing to endure so much discomfort, to restrain their natural appetites so much, and go through such a severe course of training simply that they may win race. attain fame as a painter or writer, or command success in business, how much more should they be ready to do all these things that they win everlasting life, or as Paul puts it, in the remainder of the verse from which the text is taken, Nov
