WEEDS

Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes i'm possible.
 Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear.
 The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest.
 The time to treat consump- tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't.
 Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. :. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consump- ton you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment you will win.
 Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment.

Fsrmers are benefited by having canning factories operating in their section of country, as they find it more profitable to grow tomatoes, corn or peas for the canner than by growing any other crop. The basis of calcula- tion is upon present prices paid for raw materials. The yield of tomatoes va ries greatly in different years and soils. It may be considered as coming some where between eight and 16 tons per acre, a fair average yield being 12 tons or about 400 bushels. During the season of 1901 farmers contracted to supply tomatoes to the factory at $6 per ton, but owing to the unfavorable conditions existing in September, many canners were eager to get tOma- toes at much higher figure.
 Corn does not figure so well. The yield from good land is about four tons per acre for which the canner pays about $6 per ton. Where corn is being extensively canned, as in New York and Maine, the farmers count it a little more profitable to grow sweet corn for the canner than to devote the same land to their usual crops.
 PROCESSING.
 The most particular work in canning foods successfully is what is known in | the factory as the "prOceSs," and for which responsible man known as the prOceSSOr is an absolute necessity. He was once supposed to have locked up in him great secrets without which canning cannot be properly done. His importance, however, is not dimin- ished in the slightest degree by the disclosure of the principles of his processes, for his peculiar and ''mys- l fnr cfc in, h iC nrin and good judgment in performing his particular work. Processing simply means the cooking of the canned goods at such degree of temperature and for such length of time that the con- tents of the can will be effectually sterilized and cooked tender. The length of time required varies with the article being canned and the tenn perature under which the boiling takes place. Two kinds of processing kettles are used: the open top and the closed top kettles. In the former, boiling |. takes place at PIP degrees Fahrenheit and no higher temperature can be se- cured. This is known as the ''Open bath process" The closed top kettle is an iron chest or retort into which steam may be introduced under pres sure, and thus raise the temperature of the boiling water above the normal boiling point. After the filled cans are placed in this kettle, it is run full of water to the upper blow-off pipe and the lid is then bolted securely. As steam is being introduced the upper blow-of pipe is left partially open un
 til the water boils or the thermometer registers PIP degrees Fahrenheit. The blow-off pipe is then closed tightly ant the safety valve set to temperature of 24G degrees F. The higher the de gree of heat carried the shorter is thu time necessary for processing.

 So far as the bridge question is con- cerned the general sentiment among the business men is for an iron bridge. It is believed steel bridge can be put up for 1000, which will be a credit to the town and saving in the long run over a bridge of wooden con- structiOn. The town meeting on Sat- urday afternoon promises to be largely attended.

A CHRISTMAS POEM.

The following touching little poem,
which appeared in print some years
ago, is reprinted here by the request of
one interested in the appeal it con-
tains:
CHRISTMAS is COMING.
christmas is coming!" the children
cry,
Counting the weeks that are hurrying
by.
Dear little children. who live at home,
And do not guess what it is to roam
From morn till night, with stockingless
Up and down. through the ice and
sleet.
Christmas is coming" thinks little
Tim.
But what can the Christmas do for
him:
His home is a cellar. his daily bread
The crumbs that remain when the rich
are fed.
No mother to kiss him when day is
gone;
No place to be glad in under the sun.
That wonderful fellow,old Santa Claus,
Who never is idle a moment, because
He is kept so busy with piling the toys
Into the stockings of girls and boys,
No wonder he sometimes forgets, you
know
Into the homes of the poor to go!
But. dear little children. you under
stand
That the rich and poor all over the land
Have one dear Father. who watches
you.
And grieves or smiles at the thing you
do.
And some of His children are poor and
And some are always merry and glad.
Christmas will bring to you many
joys
Food and plenty, frolic and toys:
Christmas TO some will bring nothing
al all:
In place ~ laughter the tears will fall;
Poor little Tim TO YOUR door may
come
Your blessings are many; spare him
some.
Tho Christmas bells will sweetly ring
The song that the angels love 10 sing.
The song that came with the saviour's
birth.
Peace. and good will. and love on
earth"
Dear little children. ring. pray.
Sweet bells In some lonely heart to-
day.

long hair, short hair, and braids. All
are dressed in the prettiest possible
fashion, in silk, muslin, or lace, to de-
light the heart of the little people for
whom they are designed. They range
in price from five cents to five dol
lars, so that not only personal taste
but the desired expenditure may be
consulted in making purchases.
Shopping at Christmas is always
somewhat difficult task. even to the
most serene spirits, and when one has
to dress dolls as well as buy them it
becomes doubly troublesome. The op-
portunity offered will undoubtedly
be a welcome one. 1t has been
suggested that men who do not
care to attend the sale personally, but
who may wish to buy dolls for some of
their little friends for Christmas, give
their orders to some member of the
circle, who viii make a personal selec-
ton in response to the request.

Entertainment.


Entertainment.
The close approach of Christmas will
rather lessen gayety in society this
week. Comparatively few entertain
ments have been announced, as most

shopping and Christmas gift-making to

the holidays, with an entertainment
for their amusement almost every

Will give a cotillion at Greenwich
House. This will be the first affair
Of the sort. On the same evening, Miss
Irene Withers will entertain for Miss
Eulalie Converse. and Miss EVELYN
Crawford, of Valdosta, but as the two
guests of honor are quite young girls,
the invitations will include a rather
younger set.
Tuesday evening, Dec. 81, Mr.. and
Mrs. James 5. Wood will give a cotil-
Wood.
Wednesday evening. Dec. 2s. Mrs.
Conner will give a cotillion at Armory

The ball of the Daughters Of the Con-
federacy will take place at the Guards

has been arranged for that evening in
the younger set.
Friday evening, Dec. 30. Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles G.. Bell will entertain with a
