The Stand of Corn.

While any general rule for all parts
of the country is manifestly impossible
about 1000 stalks per acre seem to
be the latest conclusion as to the best
stand of corn. for some regions at least
In its extensive tests of many years

largest yield of sound merchantablc
corn from this number of plants. The
same has proved a good rule in Ohio
This is on the basis of drills fortytwo

RICE AS FOOD.
More Nutriment In the Cooked Water
Than In the Grains.

More Nutriment In the Cooked water
Than In the Grains.
The rice grains that we eat and be
lleye are nourishing do not begin to
have the real nutriment that is con-
tanned In the water in which they
have been cooked.
For thousands of years rice has been
the main food of the Chinese, Japa-
nese and even the Sikhs of India.
When we stop to think that these war
like nations compose one-third of the
human race and subsist largely on rice,
it seems probable that they thoroughly
understand its properties. But the orl-
entails have found that the water that
we throw away after cooking the ce-
real is what contains the greatest life
giving properties. In fact, they prefer
the water to the grain az nutriment.
In cases of stomach trouble. 50 prev
alent in the east, it Is used with great
effect and can be retained when even
milk is rejected.
But for the Anglo-SaXOn delicious
dessert can be made from this same
rice water. After cooking the rice
drain the water and flavor with some
extract Set on the Ice to cool, and 1t
will form jelly. Heap with whipped
cream or fruit and serve. This makes
not only a tasty but nutritious dish
and certainly an economical one.

GOOD ADVICE TO
NERVOUS WOMEN

Just let me tell you what Rexall
Mucu-Tone did for me, says
Mrs. Hess, of Jersey City, N. J.
For five years had been
growing more and more feeble.
| was weak, run down and nerv-
Gus. Suffered with pain in my
back and side constantly and was
unable to obtain any relief what
ever. 1t seemed as if my cup of
trouble was already full when |
was overtaken by catarrhal bron-
chitis and for FIVE weeks was con-
fined to my bed.
Nothing seemed to help me
and | was in deepest despair when
a neighbor advised me to try Mucu-
Tone. From the first dose | ex-
perienced relief. | succeeded in
breaking up the attack completely
within twenty-four hours, and at
the end of week | felt like new
woman. Today | am in perfect
health; something have not
known for years. | therefore feel
safe in advising all women who
are nervous and broken down to
buy bottle of Rexall Mucu-Tone
and TO take il as directed. "
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR CON-
DITION MEANs2
Has anyone ever told you what
1t means to feel restless?-hightyf
-unsettled1-unable to concen-
trate yourself on your work1-un-
able to find pleasure or satisfaction
TN anythingf
Or have you ever given careful
thought to it YOURSELF
Well, sooner or later you will
be broken down, weak, dizzy
thoroughly tired of living.
The meaning is that some part
of your system has been attacked
by catarrh.
One after another the organs
become deranged; the liver and
kidneys are no longer able to
purify the blood and the heart be-
comes affected. Then the stomach
loses it's power to properly digest
food. Sleeplessness, nervousness,
melancholy and despair follow.
You grow weak, emaciated, bag
gard. You have pains in the back,
under the shoulderblades and
bearing down pains in the lower
abdomen.
And probably through it all
you have been told that you are
merely run down and need tonic.

Too much starchy food is eaten In
many households. Potatoes are served
with every meal and they are usually
mashed or boiled. 1t is well to sub
stitute rice, homny and macaroni for
potatoes two or three times a week at
the very least and better still to omit
any of these at many meals. Fried
hominy is a delicious substitute for
potatoes when chicken is served. Boil
the hominy In the usual way, pour it
into a shallow dish to cool and slice
pieces half an inch thick. Flour light
ly and fry In chicken fat or butter and
drippinEs. This is an excellent break
fast or luncheon dish served with ma
pie sirup or chicken gravy.

HINTS ABOUT HATS.
Preserve the Balance Between Your
Figure and Your Headptece.

Figure anu -FOUR
Do not buy hat unless you have
tried it on before u cheval glass. 1t
must suit your figure as well as your
face. y very short woman Is ridicu-
lous in an immense hat unless she is
pretty and graceful enough to be pi-
quaint. On the other hand. woman
who is far too tall is nothing less than
overwhelming in huge picture hat
There is certain balance between the
headpieCe and the figure, and this bal
ance must be preserved. Your own
good taste will guide you in this mat
ter.
Color has laws SO subtle that only
long study can make you sure of them.
The general laws are affected by a
slight tint of complexion. You must
learn the colors that are yours, and
then never, on peril of your beauty,
depart from them. You have day col
ors and evening colors, dark and light
colors, and you must know what they
are.
The old rule Of match your hair by
day and your eyes by night is now re-
garded as almost meaningless. Elk
pertinent proved its mistakes in many
cases.
In general, the dead white hat should
be worn by none except the girl with
dark hair and delicate complexion and
is therefore the most difficult of all
hats. The black hat Is safe for almost
any one and can be worn by many

Firms ARE FESTIVE.
Would Welcome an Opportunity to
Fight Their Oppressor-Denmark
Is to Remain Natural

Copenhagen, Feb. flowing to the re-
l%ationship of the Danish and Russian royal
families it might be thought Denmark's
sympathy would be largely in favor of
the Russians in their present struggle
with the Japenses. Although Denmark
remains neutral, her press evinces that
Japan has man warm admirers and not
the least so in Copenhagen, where the
public sympathy seems to be with the
Japanese almost exclusively. Should any
conflict occur in the Baltic" says the
Politiken, Denmark would become an
important strategic point to all con-
cerned."
Russia's declaration Of war has natural
ly been welcomed with the keenest inter-
est in Finland Says the Politiken Co
p~enhagen): 1T is more than likely that
all news from the seat of war will be Sc
verely censored before it reaches Fin
land. 1t will naturally be to Russia's in
terest to quell Finland's sympathy for
Japan"
Denmark has declared itself neutral in
regard to the Russ~o-Japanese war. Two
ironclads and four cruisers are modified
in the Ore sund and the rest of the fleet
will promptly assemble to defend Copen-
hagen during a possible conflict Iii the
Baltic. Military measures are also in
progress for the defense Of Danish neu-

The Russian Cruiser Boyarin Was NOT

Toxic, Feb. 1S.-lt is the belief of

second class cruiser Boyarin was tor
pedoed and sunk by the destroyer
Hayatouri in the torpedo attack on the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur last Sun
day morning. Lieutenant Commander
~Tokenouchi did not know the name of
the vessel struck by q torpedo dis
charged by the Hayatouri, but the
navy department has since learned
from other sources that it was the

thing more than a torpedo attack took
piece there.

STORM SAVED RUSSIANS
Japanese Torpedo FIotilIa Kept From
Doing Its Deadiiest Work by
Blindinu Blizzard,

Toxic, Feb. ia heavy storm spared
the Russians from a desperate tor
pedo attack at Port Arthur on the
morning of Sunday the 14th. During
the preceding night vessels of the
japanese fotilla OF torpedo craft parted
by the force Of a binding snow storm
so only two of the larger d~estroyers
succeeded in forcing their way through
the fierce gale to Port Arthur. When
they arrived there they attacked sep
arately and officers of one of them are
confident they succeeded in tOrpedoing
Russian Warships.
The destroyer Asargiri, in charge Of
Lieutenant Commander Ishikawa, ar
rived off Port Arthur about 3 o'clock in
the morning and was met with a sharp
fire from the fortress and Russian
ships acting as scouts. The A~sargiri
discharged several torpedoes at a big
warship, but the result Is unknown. A
cannonade was opened up on the the
scouting vessels and maintained until
they withdrew. The destroyer Heya-
tory, Lieutenant Commander Taken
ouchi, arrived two hours after the
Asargiri and ran up close to the mouth
Of the harbor, where she found two
warships, names unknown. She fired
a torpedo at one and the torpedo ex-
ploded.
Admiral Togo in reporting the attack
says although the results are unknown
he feels sure the moral effect upon the
enemy will be excellent. Commander
Nagai commanded the entire torpedo
~flotilla, the number of craft in the
f1otilla n the point Of their departure
are concealed.
London, Feb. IA dispatch from
Kobe, Japan, in reporting the Japanese
naval attack on Port Arthur, February
IA, says the Russian guardship in the
harbor and another Russian warship,
lying outside the harbor, were tor
pedoed, and that the Japanese retired
without sustaining any injury.
