Tho scIcnrn of RniIlnr.

One hundred years ago Count Rum
ford pointed out that In Munich, where
his experiments in cookery were made,
water boiled at 200 l2 degrees, on ac-
count of its elevation, while in London
II boiled at 2l2 degrees. This means,
according to Bridget, that boiling wa
ter Is hotter in London when IL boils.
She thinks that to boil thing the only
way Is to boil IT. hard; the more the
water spouts from her double boiler
or splashes In her kettle, the more the
food Is being cooked. To make the
water bubble more fire Is needed
more fuel is consumed. II you can In
any way succeed in the assimilation
by Bridget of some common sense in
cookery your coal or gas bills will be
smaller. Perhaps you might prove to
her by an experiment. Place a piece Of
meat in each of two bolers-equal
quantity of water and same weight
OF meat. After the water in each has
become boiling hot, place one boiler
over a small flame, and the other over
a red hot cover. The latter will of
course boil vehemently enough to
please Bridget, and the other will keep
at n condition where the surface is
only spasmodically rippled. she will
be surprised that both meats will be
thoroughly cooked at the same time,
while the latter will be much better
cooked. Let 1t be remembered that
violently boiling water is no hotter
than water boiling hot.-Deshler

HUNTERS ARE DOING BETTER
Last Week Found Conditions for Bag
Eing Ducks and Geese More
Favorable.

Hunters for water fowl have been a little
more successful in the week just passed,
as the waters are receding slightly, and
then they are going a little further away
from home in their efforts to kill the web
foots. 1t certainly has been Joy to them
to come home with mere than feathers
and, since tho luck Of the last few weeks, O
few ducks seemed like a good bag and the
man with score of ducks to show for a
few days sport is credited with being a
lucky man.
Some, who have gone out to the ives;
beyond Clarks on the Platte, and others
who have gone into the sand hills, arc
bringing back with them the fifty ducks
and the ten geese that the law allows.
They say that man with a gun and few
spare days can easily reach he limit on
the upper reaches of either the Platte or
the Elkhorn. Up in the sand hills, too,
sport is good and ducks are swarming on
the lakes, although the banks are wet and
soggy and do not add to the joys of the
sport besides making it difficult to reach
the birds. From Herman comes word OF
the best hunting to be found near Omaha.
Several parties OF Omaha hunters have not

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

few People Know How Useful IL e. In
Preserving health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is
the safest and most eficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature. but few realise its
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take Of II the better; II is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs the gases and impuri-
ties always present in the stomach and In
testines and carries them out Of the system
Charcoal sweetsns the breath after smok-
ing and drinking OF after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal efectually clears and improves
the complexion. Il whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartie.
II Gbsorbs the injurious gases which col
ieet In the stomach and bowels; Il disln-
fects the mouth and throat from the 20 son

Parasites Cause All Hair Troubles.

The Importance OF this discovery by Pro-

II explains why ordinary hair preparations,
even Of the most expensive character, fail
TO cure dandrufi; because they do not and
they cannot kill the dandruf germ. The
only hair preparation In the world that
positively destroys the dandruf parasites
that burrow up the scalp into scales called
seurf or dandrun is NeWbro's Herpicide
In addition 10 it's destroying the dandruii

The principal grievance hunters have had
during the last week has been the condi-
tion OF the weather, which has made Il
necessary TO spend five or six days on a
trip to get two goods days OF hunting. It
has been wet and cold and foggy so many
mornings that 1t has been absolutely im-
possible to leave the camps and get any
shots worth talking about. But the ducks
and the geese are there in numbers un,
precedented, and when the right days have
come to the hunters the slaughter has been
great, as is evidenced by the bags that
have been coming in with the few who
have had the temerity to risk the continual
reports OF no opportunity to reach them
with anything but a gatling gun.
