THK VERMONT election on Tues
day was very satisfactory from a
Republican standpoint. 1t plainly
shows that Roosevelt is very popular
in New England. If Vermont had
been more a manufacturing and less
an agricultural state, the Canadian
reciprocity question would possibly
have made difference in the plu-
rality.

LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG
Sunday School Girl Works Local Ho-
tel Into the Story Of
Bethlehem.

Seneca, Nemeh county, Kan, is a thriv-
ing town of almost 5000. Travellers
thereto, says the Philadelphia Press, put up
at the Clifford house, which is a real brick
hotel and is regarded by the permanent
population as the latest thing in the hos
telry line in the northeastern part of the
state. To the children of the town it is
o as "The Hotel"
So il was that when a faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavored to fix on the
minds Of her small pupils the story OF
the birth OF Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on the
eve of the first Christmas and found the
inn full Of guests. To make it realistic she
used the smile Of the town of Seneca and
explained how it was Just as though the
weary travellers had come in from the sur
rounding county at evening.
Too well she drew the picture, for one
young miss was SO impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas festi-
val came and the superintendent of the
school asked for the tale of Bethlehem this
young lady started out in this fashion:
Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem,
but the Clifford house was full"
she got no farther, however, for the
walls Of the church rang with the laugh
ter OF the audience, which realized that
here was local color with a vengeance.

HOUSEHOLD ODDS AND ENDS
A Budget of General Information for

keepers.

Blood stains on a silk gown can be
removed by cold strong borax water.
A faded cotton dress can be made
white by boiling in cream of tartar wa
ter.
Potatoes will bake more rapidly II a
pan Of water is put up into the oven
with them.
Coarse salt and vinegar will clean
enameled ware that has been burned or
discolored.
Doughnuts will not soak lard so read
lily If equal amounts of lard and beef fat
are used.
When making custards add the sugar
after the custard is cooked. and 1t will
not turn SO easily.
To keep new tin dishes and pans
from rust rub them over with lard and
heat them in the oven.
Save rice water when you have boiled
rice for curry, as it makes a very good
foundation for stock or sauce.
No odor from onions will pervade the
house, 1t is said, If a generous piece OF
stale bread is cooked with them.
Never use newspapers to wrap about
anything eatable. 1t is economy to have
a supply of parafin paper always IN
hand.
Eggs should be kept in a receptacle
to themselves since the shells (when
fresh) are so porous every strong odor
is absorbed.
After a can of condensed milk has
been opened. keep the lid raised, or bet
ter still, cut it off SO the contents will
be exposed to the air.
Stand the jar to be filed with hot fruit
on a steel knife blade or a cloth wet
with very hot water and there will be
no danger of a broken jar.
The novice should memorize this rule:
White meats well done, dark meats un-
derdone. except In fowls, which should
always be thoroughly cooked.
When sweet corn is served ON the cob,
cav a few of the inner husks on the
ear when boiling, as 1t will be much
sweeter and keep warm longer.
A novel pickle is made by combining
sweet corn and cabbage. each separately,
then scalded in sweet spiced vinegar and
canned for winter use.
To clean oily bottles put a few strips
of plotting paper in the bottle with a
little vinegar and the same quantity OF
warm water. Then add a piece of wash
ing soda, shake a few times and. after
removing the paper, rinse in warm wa
ter.

After the turkeys are grown and
ready for market, quite as much care
should be given to the killing and
shipping as to the proper growing.
Where these things can not be done
to good advantage, 1t is better to sell
them alive. Buyers who are prepared
to kill. dress, pack and ship turkeys,
and to save the feathers, should be in
position to pay what they are worth
alive and should be able to handle
them at a profit, better than a the
grower, who may not be prepared to
do the work to advantage. So much
depends upon marketing them In the
best condition that small growers
should either dress and sell to their
home market, or, providing 1t can be
done at a fair price, sell alive to some
one who makes a business of handling
such stock.-Farmers' Home Journal.

1t costs no more ON the farm to
raise frst-cIass stock than to raise
poor or intermediate grades. This Is
an axiom. An axiom it will be remem-
bered is a truth that does not need
demonstration. Then IL it does not
cost more on a farm to raise the better
class of stock, the first thought in a
live stock breeders mind should be
improvement. This may In some in
stances be necessarily a slow process
IL one Is limited somewhat in means.
But persevere and start in a small way.
One will learn gradually the best
methods in feeding. breeding and gen.
eral care. This will, when most need
ed, be a rich experience, and with .
start in stock of which n has a per-
sonal knowledge, much more can be
accomplished than with several thou-
sand dollars spent or a'strange bunch
of cattle. Decide as early as possible
whether to raise stock for market or
for milking, and breed accordingly. A
heifer with a thick neck and a tail
bone that is too large had better be
sold for beef-if she has a small tall
bone and slender neck, keep her for q
niilch cow.-Cecil Abel Todd, in Epito-
mist.

THE NECESSITY OF REST.
Substitution Of Energy and Loss Of
Sleep Sure to Result in
Injury.

Natures demands for rest are i'm
perative. They are often enforced
through the infection Of pain, and per-
sistent disregard of them is punished
at times with death, says Youths Com
panion. The unresisting infant spends
much more than half its time in sleep,
n 1t should be encouraged to do so.
for sleep is the type Of perfect rest, and
most essential to growth. In adult life,
energy can be made a substitute for rest
to a remarkable extent. The hours OF
sleep may be reduced from the normal
eight to four, and the week may be
robbed of its Sabbath; yet not with
impunity. Such practices beget a pre-
disposition to the contagious and in
fictitious diseases, diminish the capabili-
ty for efficient work, and often induce
disorders Of the nervous system. The
penalty may be long deferred, but 1t
frequently becomes more severe with
delay. In all circumstances, rest should
be commensurate with labor or exer-
| else.
The apparent demand for rest varies
with the temperament and vigor OF the
person; sometimes 1t is governed large
ly by habit, and 1t is often increased
by an inability to obtain complete re-
pose. Ability to rest is, with many
people, a natural faculty, while with
others it is an art. The first step toward
acquiring 1t is generally the systematic
ing OF ones duties SO that no unfinished
tasks remain at night to occupy the
mind. Lassitude and drowsiness. on the
other hand. are often induced by reten-
ton of ptomains or other poisonous
matters in the system, and rest is of lit
tie benefit until the poisons have been
removed.
Benefit may often be derived from
shortening of the intervals between the
periods of repose. A sound nap OF only
a few minutes duration in the middle
OF the day, for example, is more bene-
fetal than several hours of sleep made
restless or broken by dreams as a re-
suit OF prolonged fatigue. But the mind
Is more quickly refreshed than the body,
and the apparent invigoration after a
short sleep may prove to be of almost
as short duration.
There are many ways, too. of obtain
ing both mental and physical recupera-
ton without increasing the hours OF
sleep; even without idleness. Some per-
sons a obtain 1t best in reading. Others
in conversation, and others. again, in
solitude and thought. with a couch, a
hammock or a rocking-chair for the
sake Of muscular relaxation.
In addition to all ordinary rest every
one ought to take a vacation of sew
eral weeks duration once a year OF

CARELESS Of your own haste. 1t will be
felt afterward as an unusual and try
ing exertion.
2. Try not to allow a farm horse q
monotonous standstill. Lameness fol-
lows, some sort of stiffness will be
noticeable, and a stumbler is the ulti-
mate consequence.
3. 1t is useless to show a horse his
right place. or stepping out. Every

handed, same as people, therefore use
the stronger side every time.

balanced ration, with water afterward.
5. Look out for unkindness and

a dog, goat or some other companion,
II he takes to such. Give wide berth
to q rough. ill-tempered room or sta
bic man. 1t needs a 'horsey educated"
person to take good charge of horses
-one that has the know how all
along that line. and who has a better
chance to become such than a bright,
active farmer? Try to get posted in
the work, beginning at home. Steer
clear of bad shoeing; employ a skilled
blacksmith-and even he may need
watching, for blacksmiths are often
hurried and slight the shoeing. Let
the horse go shoeless rather than
travel in too-long-worn shoes. Exam
inc the feet often, and search for lodg-
ments of small stones.
6. See to the harness, that they fit
the collar snug, and suitable for his
neck. Give a yielding check-rein.
never SO tight as to prevent a lower
ing Of the head while working. Re-
move all dried p~erspiration and dan
druff from the horses body or it will
invite a sore neck or back. Sheepskin
pads, made at home, are good to have
always ready for an emergency case.
And then a sharp currycomb with a
hurried and careless handler is cruelty
personified. Some horses skins are
more tender than others; they notice
the touch of a bungler and finch i'm
mediately. Every man should know
the horse he grooms and be watchful

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 81 Especially
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure of the little daughter OF /. N,
Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was a great
sufferer for five or six years and moth
ing seemed to do her any good till she tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to i'm
prove almost at once and now she 10 cured
and can run and play as other children do.
Mr.: Whipkey says:
Il am indeed thankful for what Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being q cripple per-
haps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
Rheumatism is one of the results of dis
eased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by
Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are
right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood,
and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's
Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right.
