CURES CATARRHAL
DEAFNESS
One Weeks Use of Hyomei Did More
than Six Months Treatment by Spe-
ciaIists.

In the treatment of deafness which
is often a result of catarrh, Hyomei
acts almost Immediately upon the in
famed membrane and the hearing be-
gins to return at once.
Miss Meeks of Mattawan, N. Y,
says: "Hyomei is truly wonderful.
| have used it but n short time and
see q great change in my condition.
My hearing is improving rapidly, and
| had no idea l would improve so
rapidly in so short Il time. My breath
which was very offensive to myself
and others, has lost its bad odor en-
tirely. l have spent a great deal OF
money with catarrh specialists. and
can truly say that six months of their
treatment is not equal to one month OF
Hyomei.'
BowditcE & Webster and Percy W.
Means are selling Hyomei upon the
unusual plan of agreeing to return the
money if the medicine does not cure.
A complete outfit costs only $780,
and consists of an inhaler that can be
carried in the vest pocket, medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei.

the corner of State and Weston streets,
narrowly escaped damage by fire,
Thursday afternoon, which was, how
ever. averted by rare good luck. AS
Mr.. Tibbetts was passing from the sit

lighted lamp, the portiere between the
two rooms caught fire in some way
from the lamp. This was eXtinguished,
but not until the portiere was damaged
and the piece of drapery was thrown
out into the shed, with the superstition
that the fire was all out, but a short
time afterward, when one of the fam
lily had occasion to go to the shed. the
rortiere was found to be completely
consumed.

Care of Names and Tails.

In response to an inquiry as to
what to do to improve rough, un-
even and unsightly names and tails,
a leading horse authority gives its
readers the following suggestions:
Cleanliness is the first thing to
be looked after. If dirt is suffered to
accumulate at the roots of the long
hair the horse will rub and destroy
it. Therefore, good, honest soap and
water is a mighty aid to keep names
and tails looking well. A little sheep
dipzenoleum is excellent. used period
ically at the roots OF the long hair
will stimulate growth measurably and
kill or repel vermin that may have
found or seek a lodgment. When a
horse is rubbing his tail, which he al
ways is when anything is wrong, the
first thing to be done is to discover
the cause. Then apply plentifully
soap and water and the solution pre-
scribed. One part Of the dip in 90
parts of warm water is right as to
strength. Then the name and tail
should be kept clean by the use OF
comb and brush and more or less fire.
quent washing. The long hair should
be dried as we'll as possible after
each securing, and when the dip
solution is applied there is no need
to slop 1t over so that it runs down
or away from the skin where it is
needed. 1t should be rubbed in brisk
ly for few moments. The name and
tail should be handled gently. 1t Is
very easy to tear out great quantities
of the long hair with a common curry
comb, and in that very way much
damage is done. A currycomb should
never be used on a name or tail. Use
the comb specially designed for the
purpose. The tail should never be
plated to make 1t look crinkly. To
plat it is to break off the hair and
in time to spoil the looks Of the
tail"

On CLEANING Silver.

The methods of cleaning silver are
as many as the roses of June. Silver
should be cleaned as seldom as possi-
BILE, the frequency depending upon
the daily care. The gradual wear of
daily use and mere washing and wiping
are considerable, and when the rub
bing with cleaning powders is added
to that, we wonder there is any heir
loom silver left.
If the silver is carefully washed
and wiped according to the directions
and then occasionally polished with
a chamois, the cleanings need not be
frequent If silver furnishes quickly,
the housewife should look carefully
to her traps and furnace, because this
rapid discoloration is a pretty good
indication of the presence of noxious
gases.
One of the best ways of cleaning
large pieces Of silver that are COW
cred with great amount of orna-
mentation is to place them in a kettle
of warm soda water and bring them
gradually to the boiling point. Line
the kettle with pieces of cloth and
lay pieces of cloth between the sill
yer. Rince in clear, hot water and
wipe with soft towels. Polish with
chamois. There should be great eau
ton against using too great pressure
when rubbing the silver, for, especial
ly if it is old, it may be bent easily
and misshapen.
A most satisfactory way of clean
ing silver is to rub the article all
over with alcohol and polish with
dry silver polish applied with a piece
of soft cloth, old damask, or silver
brush when the pieces are ornament
ed. Polish with old, clean damask
and finally with the chamois.
Pieces Of silver that are seldom
used should be wrapped in cotton
flannel cases, never in fannels or
other woolens, because they cause it
to tarnish. The same may be said
of steel knife blades. Woolens cause
them to rust, probably by absorbing

Peach Recipes.

Peach Batter Pudding.-Put into a
well-buttered pudding dish one pint
ripe peaches sliced. Make batter Of
one heaped cupful of flour, two level
teaspoonfuls Of baking powder, a
pinch of salt, two-thirds cupful of
milk and one well beaten egg Stir
in three tablespoonfuls of melted but
ter and beat we'll Pour over the
peaches and bake half an hour in a
hot oven.
German Peach Cake.-Make a rich
baking powder biscuit dough and roll
out in a sheet to fit a long biscuit
pan. 1t should not be more than
half an inch thick. Brush the top
with butter and cover with slices Of
peaches arranged in symmetrical
rows, or halved peaches rounded side
up. Sprinkle generously with sugar,
cover with another tin and bake in a
hot oven for twenty or thirty min
utes. The idea of covering is to cook
the fruit, but not reduce it to a pulp
or dry out too much. This makes a
good light dessert, with or without
cream. Some cooks add beaten egg
to the milk when stirring into the
dough.
Peach Dumplings-Sift together
pint of pastry -four and saltspoon-
full of salt and two level teaspoonfuls
baking powder. Rub into the -four
a level tablespoonful of butter, then
moisten with half cup of milk to
which one we'll beaten egg has been
added. Roll into a sheet with as lit
tie handling as possible, leaving the
paste about quarter of an inch thick.
Cut into six squares. Have ready a
dozen peaches cooked for five minutes
in a syrup made with one cup Of
water and two cups of sugar. Put
two large tablespoonfuls Of the peach
es in each portion of pastry and fold
up in it. Have ready six pieces of
cotton cloth cut in eight inch squares,
then butter and -four and tie the
dumplings up in them. Drop into
broad shallow kettle of boiling water
and cook rapidly for half an hour.
Turn out on a hot platter and serve
with wine or lemon sauce. Peach
dumplings may also be made like
apple dumplings and baked in the
oven.

Shirt Waist or Blouse,

The simple shirt waist always fills a
need and is always in demand, let
there be as many blouses as may be.
This one is among the best that the
season has to offer, and can be made
with the Follower collar that is so very
generally well liked, or with regula-
ton stock, as preferred. In this in
stance the material is heavy cotton
vesting and the lining is not used, but
there is a fitted foundation which will
be found desirable for silk and wool
fabrics. The waist is exceedingly
smart as well as simple, and is tucked
after most satisfactory and becoming
manner. Cashmere, henrietta, taffeta
and the like are all suitable as well
as the cotton and linen wasting that so
many women like throughout the entire
year.

A Hiat for Potato Folk.

A simple yet useful labor-saving de-
vice for potato raisers consists of
stick with a bag, made of cheese
cloth, tied on the end. The cloth bag
holds paris green and is knocked out
of the bag by hitting the stick hold
ing the suspended bag with another
stick. BY this method the labor OF
carrying water is saved. as the paris
green can be sprinkled when the dew
or other moisture is on the potato
vines. None of the paris green is
wasted as in sprinkling or spraying
because the poison can be applied
only when potato bugs are on the
vines. London purple may also be
used the same way, and is just as
good as paris green to kill potato
bugs.-Farmers Voice.

Farm Notes.

Money for wool always comes
handy.
A breeding eve should be kept
thrifty and strong.
Valuable animals should be fed
with as much regularity as their
keeper.
Sheep have excellent digestion and
hence they utilize the food to the full
est extent.
If sheep are not kept constantly in
good condition the quality Of the
wool is affected.
Don't Jet your eggs chilli gather
them three or four times a day.
Chilled eggs never hatch.
Desirable qualities in stock OF all
kinds are not necessarily connected
to one locality nor one breed.
Sheep will consume and convert
into valuable product much food
that would otherwise be wasted
The larger the average yield that
can be produced per animal, the
less the proportionate cost of produc-
ton.
No business needs the element OF
perseverance more than stock rails
ing; some are discouraged before
thy have fairly begun.
It is not necessary that the sheep
or hog house be expensive. 1t is a
good plan t. allow the ram to run
with the flock all the time.
Ground feed is more wholesome for
both young and old stock than whole
grains. If fed dry, the mastication is
better and the results more bene-
fetal.
1t is a good plan to encourage the
fowls to roam over the orchard and
pastures in search of food. They
will do a good work in destroying in
sects, bugs and worms.
The farmer who says he has no
time to care for his poultry is not
much of farmer. Good care and
feeding of poultry more than pays
the cost to any farmer.
1t is a good plan to mark the chick
ems each year so that no mistakes
will be made. A punch that will
make a hole in the web Of the feet
will be a convenient way Of marking.
The weight of eggs is about one
and half pounds to the dozen. A
pound Of eggs will go. as far as a
pound of meat for any family Think
of this when you are feeding and car
ing for your fowls.

Onions Profitable.

The onion Is one of the market-gar-
den crops adapted to intensive cul-
ture on rich alluvial soil. So large
quantity can be grown on a given
area that in favorable year good
return can be secured for the eXpen-
diture OF very large amount OF Ia
Dor. The past season some of the
Michigan onion growers have secured
as high as eight hundred bushels per
acre, which were worth at harvest
time seventy-five cents per bushel or
5000 per acre.
A bulletin from the department OF
agriculture gives the following direc-
tions regarding the growing of this
crop. Soils abounding in decomposed
vegetable matter are generally the
most valuable because Of their loose
mechanical condition, abundance of
plant food and ability to retain an
abundant supply Of moisture. If rich,
deep, friable loan can be found on
the farm it should be selected for
onions.
A favorite practice in some sections
is now to SOW clover, and after the
Rrst crop is cut for hay, the second
rowth is allowed to rot on the field
=. pd with heavy dressing of stable
banure is plowed under in the fall.
t'he following spring the ground is
planted in potatoes, and the next year
onions are grown.

Bread-Fruit For Us?

Consul Anderson of Hangchow
thinks the pomelo or Chinese bread
fruit would do we'll in this country.
The fruit is grown in the United
States by a few persons, but not com
mercially. Foreigners agree in declar.
ing that the pomelo is the finest fruit
in the far east. 1t combines the good
points of the orange. with the good
points of the grapefruit
The Chinese say that good-sized
tree will ordinarily produce from 5000
to 1000 pomeloes When it is consid.
cred that many pomeloes will run as
large as seven or eight inches in diam.
eter and even larger, it will be appre-
ciated that such tree is bearing a
load The fruit Is more oval than
round. It's color and appearance are
those Of the grapefruit.
