FOR A HOME CLAnBAKE.
This Expert Advises the Use of a
 Sugar Barrel.


 Sugar Barrel.
 IA barrel ds the easiest thing to make a bake in and the best for a small party" remarked Tom HaWkins Of Pawtuxet, as he pitched more rock weed on the bake at SlOcum's on Paw tuxet Cove, where he makes the bakes. Lots of folks go down the river this season of the year and try to make a bake like they see 1t done at some shore resort Half of 'em don't know h6w and there's mighty few good ones out of such lot. If they'd take Il sugar barrel they could make bet ter bake in half the time and be sure of havin' it good, and they could make it in their own backyard as well ns on the shore"
 Here he paused while, with q pitch fork, he turned the rockweed along the edges of the bake over again. Steam came mp in pleasant salty smell, and the veteran glanced with satisfaction at the bake, which showed signs of being almost ready. He has been making bakes for q good part of his lffe and he knows his business. His mall comes addressed to Thomas w. Hawkins, but to everyone in Pawtux- ct, where he has lived for many years,
 
 Iage, among the old residents, when they think pretty we'll of man, they call him by his first name, and If it Is too long they shorten 1t.
 How is barrel bake nader" asked the listener.
 'In a barrel" came the answer. "A sugar baareIs the best. It's easy enough. Get sugar barrel and bore ] some holes in the bottom. Then put \ layer of rocl1weed on the bottom, to keep the hot stones from burning the barrel, and on top Of the rockWeed put the stones you have heated. Where do you get the roclkweed7 Anywhere along the shore where there's rocks, or you can get 1t of somebody that fol- lows the shore. Ed Johnson here in the village generally has some. It wants to be fresh am the stones ought to be good sized ones, say cobblestone size, and stones that ain't been heated before, although if they ain't been heated too many times they'll do all right. Just put in the stones and then some more rocEweed and then pour i'll the caams. You want to be careful where your clans come from, too They're apt to be poor and to taste of gas if they come from this side of l Conimic1It These clans come from l down east somewhere.

 "Oh, bushels enough, plenty. \ bushel of clams'll be enough for g party of perhaps twenty. Put on rock l weed enough to fill the barrel and then cover it tight with a canvas or some thing to keep the steam in. It has te be covered tight, for the steam's what cooks tn claims.

Rubber for Tires.

Automobile makers are beginning to worry already over a possible substi- tute for rubber for tires. It is claimed that the demand for this material has increased rapidly the last few years, alone the last year being S0.000,000 over those of 1903. This means, 1t is said, that rubber trees are being over taxed and that there is danger of their dying out. The consumption of rubber for vehicle tires is phenomenal In its magnitude.

Gut Of Arm for Rings.

Even in common robbery the orient has picturesque ways peculiar to itself A Burmese woman travelling in a third class compartment by the day train re- gently was reclining in the carriage with one of her arms out of the window some where near Sitkin, on the Burma state railway, when some one came along the footboard and cut her arm clean off, ap- parently with sharp sword. On the lost hand were rings with the usual ac- compartment of bangles.

The money market remains easy in spite of more liberal currency ship ments says Banker Henry Clews. The latter will probably increase in force and cause q steady diminution of sur plus reserves tt this point; but there are more than sufficient funds in sight to meet all probable requirements. There has been some fear of gold ex- ports, owing to likelihood of small wheat exports, though good supply of cotton bills will be shortly forth coming, and the big corn crop wila un- doubtedly be followed by larger ex- ports of that article, either in the grain or in the form of meat products. Re- duced imports Of general merchandise. now being experienced, will also tend to discourage gold shipments. Reports of n big Russian loan may possibly affect the international exchanges, but this is premature. A Russian defeat would certainly have stimulating ef- feet in the foreign markets. Now that the vacation period Is over and busi- ness promises to become more active, speculation shows reviving tendency. Manipulation Is daily growing more aggressive and the operations of vari- ous pools and cliques are of increasing importance. The market, therefore, will bear closer watching, for while the tendency under existing conditions may be towards higher prices, the in- ducements for realizing grow stronger with the advance. Big leaders are still bllllish on the situation and are hoid- ing. the stocks, so that the situation has not been weakened by excessive public buying.

lions of Imaginative
Preachers.

Speaking of queer breaks occasionally
made by pastors in addressing their faithful
focks, here is one that think takes the
cake" observed New Yorker to some
friends as they were chatting at the club,
according to the Times.
The case in question was that of young
clergyman whose imagination sometimes
exceeded his common sense. At any rate,
on one occasion he began his prayer as fol-
lows:
oh Lord, we thank Thee that there il
one small spark of grace remaining in our
hearts. Water. it, We beseech Thee, Oh
Lord. water it.
THAT reminds me Of the fayorte climax
of the minister of the one church in little
country place where l was staying one
summer, remarked one of the others when
the laugh had subsidized. HE was of ex-
tremely pacific tendencies and rarely ended
his prayer by any other phrase than the
following

of peace and the eagle of freedom may soar

Well Remembered.

Valley City, N. OAK, Dec 1.-Two years
ago Mrs. Matilda M. Boucher OF this place
suffered great deal with dizziness in her
mead. She was cured of this by remedy
called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and has not been
troubled since.
Shortly afterwards she had bad bilious
attack and for this she used Diamond Din
ner Pills and was completely cured in a
short time.
In January, 1908, she had an attack Of
Sciatica of which she says:
Il was almost helpless with the Sciatica,
but remembering what Dodd's Kidney
Pills and Diamond Dinner Pills had done for
me before, | commenced treatment OF
these medicines and in three weeks was
completely restored to health. l have
great faith in these medicines for they have
been OF so much benefit to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are very popular in
Barnes County. having made great many
splendid cures of Sciatica, Rheumatism and
Kidney Troubles. Many families use nc

where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the

the question that SO great and famous man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

SO many people have felt about giving en-

Gratitude and desire to help others has

Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that SO many men of national
