Catarrh is capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy and infame
every part they come in contact with. APP
plications to the places affected by catarrh
can do little good save to soothe or quiet
disagreeable symptoms. Hence it is that
gargles, sprays, atomizers and inhalants
only serve as temporary relief. So long as
the Irritating secretions of catarrh continue
to be formed so long will the membranes
continue to be infamed, no matter what
treatment is used.
There is but one remedy that has the
desirable effect, and that remedy is

non,t Like Intervention.

New York, Dec. l6.-Referring to the
Anglo German intervention in Venezu-
ella, the Buenos Ayres correspondent
says all the newspapers there see in it
a danger for all South American re-
publics as it tends to establish a prece-
dent endangering their sovereignty.
The general opinion is that the invest
ment of foreign capital though desira-
BILE for the Developments of the countries
cannot give foreigners special rights.
Some papers compare actual interven-
ton with recent events in China.

Not Exempt From Taxation.

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec 20.-The SUI
preme court, in an opinion handed
down, holds that building used for
Sunday school purposes alone is not
exempt from taxation. The decision,

struction in the scriptures" and that
only property used exclusively for
public worship is exempt from taxa

Canned Tomatoes.

See that rubbers and tops are in per-
feet condition and thoroughly clean.
Scald the tomatoes and peel. Into cold
jars pack as many Of the uncut toma-
toes as you can, being careful not to
break. Add a Tablespoonful Of salt
to each jar, then pour in enough cold
water to fill to overlooking. Wipe off
each top, put on the rubber, wipe out
the lid and screw this on about two
thirds, or so that you may pick 1t up
by the lid without its coming off, but
still loose enough to let out the steam.
OF strips Of wood make little platform
to fit the bottom of the boiler and stand
the Jars on this. The criss-cross strips
of wood should be an inch or two from
the bottom of the boiler. Pour IN
enough cold water to come half way Up
the jars, put the lid on the boiler and
boil hard for twenty minutes. Take off
the lid and as soon as you can handle
them with a cloth screw on each jar
cover as tight as possible while the
Jars still stand in the hot water. Take
out and tighten for the last time. Cover
with a warm. damp cloth on wooden
table. When cold put away. The to-
matoes keep their shape and taste al
most like fresh ones.

Coops for young Chicks.

When the early-hatched chicks are
two or three months old it Is good
plan to go over the flock and take out
such pullets as are promising and which
will form the laying flock Of the win
ter. Such chicks must be separated from
the main flock, 80 that they may be
given the need attention, and must
be provided with shelter at night, even
though they have the range during the
day. Coops like that shown in the Illus
tration are inexpensive, as they are
formed from large dry goods boxes.
Saw the back of box so that slant
ing roof may be nailed on and be COW
cred with tarred paper to make 1t wa
terproof.
The door is hinged to the box and
the illustration shows how 1t is hooked
up during the day when the chicks are
out. The three anger holes Of good size
just above the door provide ventilation,
although at one side is an opening to
permit fresh air in the coop while the
weather is warm, this opening to be Sc
curely covered with heavy wire netting
of rather fine mesh. If for any reason
it is desirable to confine the birds for
any portion of the day, they will be
quite comfortable if a water can is
placed inside the coop, as shown in
Figure 1, and it is secured at either
side by loop Of wire to screw, so
that it cannot be tipped over. The wa
ter may be poured into the can from
the outside, through the wire netting.
The small food trough, shown at Figure
8, is so simple anyone can make it. Two
end pieces are secured by a bottom
board, the desired size; a narrow strip
is placed at the back and another strip
nailed from the highest point.
From these two strips are fastened
heavy wires, which permit the chicks
to thrust their heads through and get

Soil for Small Fruits.

1t Is almost Impossible to do the work
of preparing the soil for small fruits
too thoroughly, and this is particularly
the case with strawberry plants. Much
of this preparatory work may be done
in the late summer and fall as soon as
the. crop now occupying the soil is re-
moved. Fertilizers should be applied,
the soil should be plowed and thorough
ly narrowed and covered with crop OF
some kind that may be plowed under in
the early spring.
After such crop is plowed under the
soil should be narrowed several times to
put it in the best possible condition be-
fore setting the plants. If one has a
strip of ground that can be used for the
purpose at this time it will be found a
good plan to set out number of va
rieties of strawberry plants now, using
the pot-grown plants that are offered
by plantsmen at this season. These
plants will fruit next summer, and
while they are quite inexpensive there
is no cheaper way Of having test bed.
