Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of radical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better
To prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one Of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend with,
can he prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from cold or from an
attack of influenza lgrippe). and it has
been observed that this remedy coun-
terasts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy i>as been used dur
ing the great prevalence Of colds and
grippe in recent years. and can be re-
lied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then 1t is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take

as the cold is contracted. 1t always

! OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BUYING MEATS.

BUYING MEATS.
We have had good many years ex-
perience in the matter of buying the
meat supplies for good sized family.
We have found out few things which
may possibly be of benefit to our read
ers The porterhouse steak, the loin
cuts and chops of pork, veal or mutton
are the most expensive meats to buy.
These cuts carry with them the great
est per cent Of waste. A fore shoulder of
| mutton, a veal brisket, also the brisket
of beef, the shanks Of both veal, pork,
ham and beef, all of which are low
priced meats, are, when properly ham
died by an experienced cook. just as
nutritious and palatable at less than
half the cost Of the fancy cuts. The
fact is that the frying pan is the most
expensive utensil there is to be found
in any home, for where it is so gener-
ally used only the best cuts Of meats
are adapted to it, while the lower
priced cuts of meat when boiled,
stewed, roasted or baked furnish a
meat ration at much lower prices.
There Is much that women should
know, but do not. on this line. The
knowledge Of how to properly cook the
lower priced meats should be part Of
the education Of every woman who ex-
poets to care and cook for a family.

CORN AND HOG CHOLERA.

1t would be worth millions of dollars
to the hog raisers of the country to
really know beyond any reasonable
doubt whether high priced corn is in
any way associated with immunity
from hog cholera; whether corn as q
hog food, and often almost the sole
food, is responsible for the disease. 1t
has now happened twice within our
recollection that in years when corn
has gone to 60 cents and over the coun-
try has been almost free from hog dis
ease, and we also recall that when corn
has been very cheap, Is cents bushel,
the hogs have died by, the million.
There is enough Of coincidence in these
matters to justify inyestiga ton, espe-
cially when it is considered that we
we'll know that corn Is very poorly
balanced ration. While pork can prob
ably be made more cheaply on corr
than on any other product. it by nc
means follows that it is the best food
for the pig. We are more and more
convinced that If we would raise our
pigs upon other foods largely-oats,
clover, rye, barley. peas-and simply
finish them off with corn, great step
forward would have been taken in
ayerting the cholera.

pnoBLEM For 1NyENTons.

The attention Of the people at large
has been very sharply drawn to the
question of Il fuel supply as result Of
the late strike among the hard coal
miners Not only has the price of hard
coal been greatly advanced, but the
prices of both soft coal and wood have
advanced also. AS result the atten-
ton of the country has been diverted to
other possible fuel supplies. 1t has al
ways seemed to us that there was one
source of supply which might be made
available which has never been util-
lied, and that is the mechanical CONVEX
sion of the surplus straw and corn
stalks of the farms into blocked fuel.
Surely some practical machine could be
invented which would shred and COM
press this material into suitable block
form for use as fuel. and this, too, at a
low price. All through the north and
west there are millions of tons Of corn
stalks and flax, wheat and oat straw
wasted each year, enough on nearly ev-
cry farm to furnish an ample fuel sup
ply for the farm home. Here is prob
lem well worth the attention Of our
most ingenious inventors.

A aoy1NE EVANGELIST.

He lived in scrub community, nice
people enough-honest, Industrious and
all that-but way back on modern
methods of farming, prone to follow
grandfather's way and stick to old
precedents and customs. One man in
the community by some chance attend.
ed state fair. where for the first time
in his life he saw herds of fine blooded
stock, and this set him to thinking,
and the result of his thinking was that
he slipped off one day and bought a
Shorthorn bull, for which he paid $3.50.
The bringing Of this animal into the
community created a great sensation.
His wife called him fool. and his
boys said he needed guardian, and
all the neighbors, who considered $50
big lot of money for an animal of the
sort, said he was headed for the insane
asylum. The results were that that
bull worked reformation in that COM
munity. reconstructed all the prevail
ing notions about stock and placed
hundreds of dollars in the pockets of
the scoffers and unbelievers. There Is
no more scrub stock raised in that
community.

Spain Recovered s337 500.

Edinburg, Eng. Feb. 19.-The court
of sessions today awarded the govern
ment of Spain sS37.5o0 in the action
begun here January 90 by the Spanish
minister of marine, Sanchez Toca, to
recover $4,000 from the Clyde Bank,
Engineering and Shipbuilding company
because of the company's failure to de-
liver in contract time four torpedo boat
destroyers which had been intended
for use during the Spanish
war. In the course of the judgement
Lord killachy, the presiding judge, said
he thought it more than probable that
if Spain, even in the spring of 1897. had
been in position to establish really
effective blockade in Cuba against the
unloading of munitions of war the in
surrecticn might have been crushed
and American intervention been avoid :
ed. He therefore allowed Spain $4,000
per week for the 1876 weeks delay, to
which she was entitled under contract.

Important Question In Award
ing Recently Settled Claims
of Atwater Family
THE CLAIMS AGGREGATE ss4,eea
Grew Out of Massacre Near Peking, of
the Atwater Family, During Boxer
RebelIion-No Evidence At Hand to
Determine Question of Who Died
First, Which Is Important Factor.

New York, Feb. 19.-Claims aggre-
eating $34663, growing out of the
massacre near Picking of the Atwatel
family While the Boxer rebellion was
at its height, have just been settled
by the Chinese government thru the
state department says the Herald.
The heirs who are expected to be
helped by the award are Miss Sadie
Atwater of Brooklyn sister of the muir
dered missionary, and the parents OF
Mr. Ernest Atwater. an aged couple
living in Oberlin, Ohio. Mrs. Sadie At
water, who is the widow of the Rev
Frederick Atwater brother of Ernest
Atwater will probably come in for half
the total amount awarded.
The Rev. Frederick Atwater, after
the massacre of his brother and fam
lily. presented the claims to the state
department, but while they We're pend
ing he died and the claims fell to his
widow, Mrs. Sadie Atwater.
Ernest Atwater, with his wife and
four children" said Mr.. Carbon, the
attorney for the family, Were engaged
In missionary work in the vicinity OF
Pekin when the Boxer uprising oc-

Tins of the vengeance of the Chinese
fanatics The Rev. Ernest Atwater
came originally from Oberlin.
Attic these claims have been rec
ognized and the awards have been or
dered n delicate question of law must
be settled before the claims are actu-
water $4,000 has been allowed and the
same amount for his wife; for each of
the four children $500 is allowed,
$1,450 for the property destroyed and
$163 in interest.
Now in the distribution of these
sums the question of who died first will
be an important factor. We have no
first evidence at hand to determine
this, but the presumption is that the
children and mother survived longer,
for the father, defending them, would
naturally fight until cut down. IL ii
be shown that the children survive the
parents, then a part of the award will
go to their grandparents, the parents
of Mrs. Ernest Atwater: If not. then
Mrs. Sadie Atwater gets half the total
award The Rev. c. II. Pond. of Ober-
lin, Ohio, is administrator of the es-
tate of Rev. Ernest Atwater. and it will
therefore be in the Ohio courts that
the question of order in which the vic
tins died must be determined. In any
event, Mrs Sadie Atwater is entitled
to one third of the total amount"

POUND OF STRAW FOR $1,000.
Chicago Man Victimized Out of Every
thino He Owned


Chicago, Feb. ia pound of straw
was given in exchange for $1,000 yes
terday. The money represented the
life savings of Charles Bartholmei, pro-
prietor of candy store at 1928 Milwau-
kee avenue, and the hay, until it passed
to the possession of Mr. Bartholmei
was the property of two swindlers, who
posed as Italian noblemen.
The swindle was carried out in a pri-
vate dining room of The Hotel Bis
marck. 100 Randolph street, within half
block Of the city hall.
Bartholmei made the acquaintance OF
the swindlers two weeks ago, when they
entered his store, ma lie a small pur-
chase, and fell to talking between
themselves.
Their conversation dealt with large
sums of money and the candy maker
at once became interested.
Il tell you, count" said one of the men
to the other. who later became known
to Bartholmei as Count Bonnelo,
there's 6. lot of money in it for the
right man. It's all legitimate, too"

which the swindlers agreed to pay him

ever. to make a deposit to insure good
faith, and that is how he was induced

FOR 100000 MUSEUM.
Marshall Field to Erect Mammoth
Museum for CHICAGO.

Museum for Chicago.
Chicago. Feb. IA story grew out
of the meeting of the south park board
yesterday that a mammoth lake front
museum is to be erected by Marshall
Field at a cost of $10,000,0o0 as soon
as the board shall have secured the
passage of the act giving control OF
all the Lake Front park TIC the South
park commissioners.
This story stated as a fact that N
II. Carpenter of the Art institute repre-.
sented Mr. Field before the commits
sioncrs and laid the plans for the pro-
posed museum before them.
The facts. however, are as follows:
The south park board and citizens
interested in the Improvement of the
lake front park are endeavoring to Sc
cure from the legislature an act trans
ferring to the board control of that
portion of the park north of the Ar,
institute, now under state control.
They are endeavoring to vest all the
park rights with the park commission
ers and TO remove the obstacles which
property owners at present may put
in the way of buildings on the lake
front-such obstacles as Montgomery
Ward has set up in the past.
They want the power to issue bonds
for the filling in of the basin east of
the Illinois Central tracks and north
of Monroe street and its conversion in
to a park, and they want control of it.
When all of these things have been
secured it is the purpose to show Mr..
Field that there are no obstacles in the
way of a project which he is known
TO have in mind. AT present the active
party in the project is composed Of
the citizens who want the museum
erected. and it not the man who, it is
hoped, will build it finally.
