The best success of all was with wa
ter glass or ~silicate of soda. This costs
40 to 60 cents per gallon and may be re-
duced with water when used to as low
as three per cent. water glass. The
eggs must be very fresh and should be
completely immersed in the solution.
Even this preparation wasnot success
full in every case, but was usually SO,
the eggs being as good as fresh eggs
for cooking. The egg ladle, as por-
trayed, is a great convenience in hand
ling large numbers of eggs. 1t is made
of a round, shallow tin pan with a long
handle, the tin being perforated to
drain off the liquid. With it the eggs

A CHARITY FIB.
The Young Idea Was to Set the SEM

About His Na4e.

Notwithstanding the man knew how he
had come by his red nose, he was extremely
sensitive about it, and any reference to 1t
was resented promptly and with emphasis.
One day he was calling on some ladies when
the small boy of the family was present. The
youngster was strangely attracted by the
radiant nose, and kept watch on it from the
moment the visitor entered the room until
be had a chance to speak TO his mother, re-
lates the New York Herald.

asked so that everybody could hear.
's0f course it is, she replied, with a proper

s'Wen," she hesitated, possibly If one is
told to spare the feelings of some person it
might be excused"
'And why does my little man ask such a
question:" inquired the gentleman very
coayingly,
Because responded the boy, Il wanted
to say your nose wasn't a bit red, if some
body else wasn't going TO say it pretty soon"
Later when the culprit was going to pun
ishment he asked his mother if she wouldn't
have licked him just the same if he had
told the truth.

BEEF ON SOUTHERN FARMS.
.rotIer step in Advance Necessary
For the Southern and SOUTH
western Farmer.

The farmers Of the southwest are
becoming fully aroused to the posi-
bilities of Investigation in the way
of fruit and truck growing, but they
have not yet taken up the breeding
of beef cattle and hogs to the extent
that existing conditions warrant. The
range for peel cattle is becoming each
year more restricted. The prices OF
finished beef cattle are comparatively
high, and are likely to remain at q
high figure for some years to come.
That the almost phenomenal records
that have been made at some periods
during the present year will be main
tanned is not to be expected, but If
available statistics are correct, the
production of beef cattle has not kept
pace with the growth of population
throughout the country.
The average record for years does
not show any very great variation
from one year to another or the
amount of meat consumed per capita,
though the prosperity Of the country
may naturally be expected to affect,
to some extent, the demand for high
priced meats.
Texas and the territories have been
great breeding grounds for many
years, but owing to the increasing de-
mand for land and the enactment OF
new land laws, the cowmen who have
had great herds on the range are now
looking to northern states for pas
turage, and the beef production of
the southwest. if it is to be main
tanned in the years to come, must be
largely confined to the farming sec
tions. The high price of cottonseed
meal and hulls is causing the men
who usually feed thousands of head
of cattle for market to hesitate about
making contracts for big lunches of
feeders this year, and in the course of
time when farmers fully understand
and practice the principles of feeding
cattle on the farms, it is probable
that feeding at oil mills will be al
most, il not entirely, done away with.
The farmer who feeds on his OWN
ground not only secures a market, as
high priced meat, for the corn and
forage crops he produces, but the
manurial return to his land is of such
great value that he has an advantage
that can not be overcome by the man
who finishes cattle at the oil mills

PE.RU.NA IS A HOUSEHOLD
SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without 1t.


nERUNA is a great family medicine.
r The women praise it as well as
= the men; it is just the thing for
the many little catarrhal ailments of
childhood.
The following testimonials from
thankful men and women tell in direct,
sincere language what their success
has been in the use of Peruna in their
families:
Louis j. Scherrinsky, 1o3 Locust
street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
81 will tell you, briefly what Peruna
has done for ne. / took a severe cold
which gave me a hard cough. All doc
tors medicines Called TO cure 1t. took
one bottle Of Peruna and was well.
Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. My
wife had stomach trouble for years.
She took Peruna and now she Is well.
81 cannot express my thanks IN
words, but l recommend your remedy
at every opportunity, for | can con
s~eientiously say that there Is no meai-
cine like Peruna. Nearly everyone IN
this town knew about the sickness OF
myself and family, and they have seen
with establishment what Peruna has
done for us. Many followed our exam
pie, and the result was health. Thank
ing you heartily, 1 AMI. j. Scher-
rinsky.
Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, Cal,
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
~ consider Peruna an Indispensable
article in my medicine chest. 1t Is
twenty medicines in one, and has so
far cured every sickness that has been
in my home for five years. Iconsider
it of, special value to weakly women,
as it builds up the general health
drives out disease and keeps you in
the best of health."-Mrs. Mamie Wal
lace.
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, ca
tarrh of the stomach, liver and kid
neys. 1t is just as sure to cure a case
of catarrh of the bowels as it is a case
of catarrh of the head.

SHOWING THE WAY.

Most of our readers know all about
the aches and pains of a bad back;
very few people are free from sick
kidneys, as the kidneys are the most
overworked organs of the body and
'go wrong" at times no matter how
well the general health may be.
The trouble is so few understand the
indications of kidney trouble. You
are nervous, tired out and weary, have
stitches, twinges and witches of back
ache pains, but lay it to other causes;
finally the annoyance and suffering at
tendant with urinary disorders, reten-
ton of the urine, too frequent urina-
ton, makes you realize the serious
ness of it. At any stage you should
take a remedy that will not only re-
lieve but cure you. Read the following
and profit by the lesson it teaches:
C. j. McMurray, a resident of Free
port, H., address AZ I%roquois St, says:
81 have greater faith in Doan's Kidney
Pills to-day than / had in the fall of
1897 when l first took that remedy and
it cured me of an acute pain across
the back and imperfect action of the
kidneys. Since l made a public state
ment of these facts and recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills to my friends and
acquaintance, thoroughly believing
as / did both from observation and ex-
p~erience that they would do just as
they were represented to do. I am
still pleased to reendorse my state
ment given to the public shortly after

THE DAYS OF LONG AGO.

(ChfcagO Record-Herald.)
How sad / used to be in those days away
back there RE 80
Before knew the world was full of hid
den snares and care;
| thought it was a task to hold the skein
as mother wound
The crimson yarn while here and there a
stubborn snarl was found;
! thought my lot a dismal one, as sitting
there at night
| heard the humming spinning wheel and
watched the freight
Dance out across the floor and back as
fairy dancers might.
All how I used to long to see the world
I'd read about,
To pack my little carpet sack and boldly
sally out!
Reluctantly l. used to bow my head upon
the chair
When father found that it was time to
say the evening prayer.
And thinking that my lot was hard-ah,
how absurd 1t seems
went up to my little bed beneath the
whitewashed beams
And far away from worldly cares, had
proud, ambitious dreams.
oh, there is much that | have learned
about the world since then,
And much I've seen that serves to wake
the wonderment of men;
The world is far more splendid than l
dreamed that it could be
AS lying meath the rough hewn beams
fair visions came to me
But one great glory of the world has
passed away fore'er,
/ .ne'er again may hold the Skein as
mother winds back there,
Or, when the fires low, kneel down while
father offers prayer.

why Men Don't Go to Church

Diminished church attendance, where
there is such diminution, is not fair
| ly attributable to the preachers. If
the people are earnest in their religious
belief and crave spiritual food, they
are not critical of the preacher so
long as he is in earnest like themselves.
When they set to carping at his SER
mons, it is a sign that they are not
! hungry for the food. In times of reIi-
gious revival the humblest, the plain
[ est preacher, inspired by an ardent
faith, is eloquent enough for them. If
there is in their hearts the demand, the
| supply is sure to come. At the time
of the great awakening in 1857, the
preachers of New York were not ADLER
| men than their Successors are now,
| and not greater pulpit orators, but the
fire of religious belief kindled in them
! a responsive flame of religious emotion
in the hearts of the people, for the
! crowds who listened to their appeals
were already burning with a desire for
the word of salvation.
AS it is now, the churches which
make their appeal to religious senti-
ment, to devout emotion, and hold up
before men the idealism of religion,
are about as full as ever. 1t is only
those pulpits which depend on insult
nclent intellectual ability to draw the
people, or who are not clever enough
adopts in elap-trap, that have been
''outgrownp by the average American
business man" When the clap-trap
suits vulgar tastes, it is now a greater
drawing card than ever, as the example
we have mentioned illustrates.
The fault is absence of religious faith
in the pulpit and in the people who
otherwise would fill the pews. Wher-
ever that faith is found, the churches
are full of people who have other
thoughts and emotions than of criti-
cism of the sermon and carping at the
preacher. The fire that warns them
is in their own hearts. The magnet
which attracts them to the church is
not the expected eloquence of the
preacher, but the eloquent religious
faith with which their own hearts are
charged. Only when men really be-
lieve in the world to come, and that
all other profit is snare and delu-
sion so long as they lose their souls in
its pursuit, will the churches be as
thronged as are the marts of trade and
the stock exchange York Sun.
