The Old Home.

In going back to the old home after
an absence of many years there is
much sadness mixed with the pleasure.
Faces are changed. Some Of the old
friends are dead, some are married,
while others are in Jail.
Boyhood playmates have grown up,
accumulated boards and families and
are so busy with their own affairs that
they can hardly remember the wander
er. Landmarks have been obliterated,
trees have been cut down, old swim
ming holes filled up, and perhaps the
nlmble trolley car chases the rheumatic
nickel over former Fairgrounds.
But among all of the strange faces
there is one that lights sup with happy
remembrance at the sight Of the re-
turned pilgrim. 1t is the face of the
fellow who loaned him quarter thirty
years ago and had long since given up
all hope of ever getting 1t back.

Stuffed Hmm.

What to Eat gives directions for a
stuffed ham, which ought to be very
good. For buffet supper 1t would be
especially attractive. A medium sized
sugar cured ham Is boiled in the usual
manner. When done, either slash 1t
with knife, making long, slanting
slashes, or puncture to the bone with
the carving steel. Prepare a stufflng Of
breadcrumbs seasoned with prepared
mustard until the crumbs are quite
yellow. Molsten with the water In
which the ham was boiled. Mix with
the dressing one onion. chopped fine, a
few sprays Of parsley minced and
plenty of pepper, black or red. Press
this dressing in the slashes or pune
lures and glaze the ham over with
white of egg. Take q large handful of
crumbs, some as large as grain Of
corn and others larger Spread these.
over the top Of the ham and moisten
them with cream. Place in the oven
long enough for the crumbs to brown,
which will be long enough also to let
the stufiing get hot. Garnish the dish
with parsley or fine punches Of water

Some Hints About How to Keep n In
Proper Condition.

Proper Condition.
To be in proper condition a piece OF
furniture must shine as though just
polished.
1t can easily be made to do this Il 1t
Is rubbed weekly with mixture Of
one-quarter vinegar and three-quarters
prepared table top oil.
Apply this with flannel, polish with
large piece and then finish polishing
with fresh flannel. A brisk sponglng
in cold water Immediately wiped off,
is said to restore the gloss to rosewood
when 1t has assumed gray film.
Gilt furniture Is cleaned with a cream
of alcohol and sffted whiting. If spot
docs not come or at once touch 1t
lightly with alcohol. Deep dirt or tar
nish needs to be washed with borax
suds, wiped dry and then covered with
the whiting and allowed to dry on. Re-
move this with stiff brush later and
polish with soft leather.
Vermin in upholstery can be removed
by injecting beneath the covers solu-
tion of white carbolic acid and tur-
pentine, one-fifth being carbolic.
Nothing is so destructive Of furni-
ture as too much dry furnace heat. 1t
may prove helpful to keep large bowl
of water in the room, so that the air
may absorb moisture from it.-Home

batter In More NourisbinR For Hcr
Than Cod Liver OIL.
"No, l should not advise cod liver
OIL" said physician to n woman who
was sorely worried over the condition
of her young daughter. "The use Of cod
liver oil was fad that has very large
ly passed. Fifteen years ago, remem-
Der, every person who showed any tu
bercular symptoms was Immediately
put on a cod liver oil diet. 1t was very
heating, the stomach rebelled against
1t, and altogether II was rather mixed
blessing. 1 doubt il II quart of cod
liver oil Is taken on a physicians pre-
scrlption today where barrel would
have been twenty years ago.
"Have your daughter eat butter.
There is no more valuable aid to the
person with weak lungs and low, de-
pleted condition of the system than
butter. Over in Scotland doctors have
employed what they term the butter
treatment with such marked success
that there Is talk of establishing san
itarium TO be devoted to It, There Is no
reason, however, why one who can
command all the butter she needs and
the right kind should have to 60 OF to
an institution set apart for the pur-
pose.
"The butter eaten should be Of the
fresh, unsalted kind and not more than
three days old. Where the patient
takes kindly to fats such butter should
form a large part Of the diet.
Butter is concentrated energy. In
its pure form 1t Is very largely hydro
carbon. 1t feeds not only the nerves,
but the depleted tissues of the body.
Where children or growing boys and
girls are delicate and inclined to anae-
mia butter eaten in large quantities Is
one of the best tonics / know Of, and
these young people can nearly always
take 1t easily. 1t is only adults who
find they have livers." = New York
Tribune.

TASTE IN THE HOME.
DO Not MIX Costly with Common
place Furnishings.

place Furnishings.
Nothing so clearly evidences the re-
finement Of home as daintily served
meals. The room may be plain and
cheaply furnished. the table linen
coarse, the tableware inexpensive, yet
an air of refinement Is quite possible,
and there need be no hesitation In Of
ferlng such hospitality to people in any
walk of life, says the Philadelphia Bull
letin.
1t is better to have home harmoni-
GUS throughout than to mix costly and
commonplace furnishings. French Chi
ma and cut glass In any appreciable
quantity belong to deep purses that do
not feel the results of accidents. They
require too much care to make them
desirable for homes where there Is no
body to help the mistress of the estab-
lishment. TO secure the greatest
amount of comfort at the least expendi-
ture of strength and time ought to be q
problem worth studying and to further
its solving there are all sorts Of aids,
like ready made sheets and pillowcases,
bed puffs, cheaper than one can buy
materials and make them at home; In
expensive washable materials for dra-
pcries and couch pillows and host Of
other things.

While the law gives the father the
unpaid services of his son until the son
becomes Of age, 1t is mighty poor pol
Icy to be guided by the law rather
than by humane and decent regard
for the boy. We believe that MS soon
as boy IL able to render service on
the farm Of money value to his father
he should be paid something for his
work, and so paid that the old man
does not have II string hltchcd TO his
wages A good boy is worth raising
altogether aside from his economic
valve to his sire, and one way to raise
a good boy, who will stick to his dad
to the last ditch, is to treat the boy
fairly in this matter of compensation
Tor the work done by him. When a
boy Is worked by his father till of age
without recompense save his board and
clothing the boy is sure to be glad to
get einancipated and leave home. and
It is sometimes hard work to get him
to come to the old mans funeral.

OPENING HIS EYES.
The Farmer Is Slowly but
Surely Waking up to
His Best Interests.

More than fifty years ago the
British Board Of Trade concluded
that the lower they could force
down the price of cotton the more
the American planter would be
compelled to raise to make liv-
ing, that the increased production
would furnish increased supplies
for their mills, and that it would
afford additional leverage to be
used in making the prices still
lower. The policy was agreed
upon, and has been adopted by all
the Cotton Exchanges of he world
and it has been steadily and re-
lentlessly pursued ever since, with
various results of course, as sea-
son conditions have favored or
thwarted their purpose but always
in the loss of the planters not in
absolutely lower prices, perhaps
but in prices below what condi-
tions W arranted.
The selfish and cruel, and we
may say mistaken, policy, has
cost the cotton growers immense
sums of money or rather, has pre-
vented them from realizing vast
sums they have honestly earned,
and to which they were justly en-
titled. SO great difference has
this made in the business of cotton
growing that many good, indus
trious and economical people who
ought to be in independent circum-
stances, or at least we'll to do find
themselves and their families with
scant living, in many cases short
of the common comforts of life.
The very recently the results of
this miserable policy have been ac-
cepted by the cotton planters as
decree OF fate, as the best they
could expect and something en-
tirely beyond their control. But
different teaching has lately
found its way into the South and
there mas been wonderful awak-
ening a revolution in sentiment
and an absolutely different system
of marketing. The farmer has
learned his power, and he now
knows that as the first owner of |
the things he produces, he is the
logical price-maker, and that no
one can get them from him with
out his consent. He will no long
er suffer the the wrongs to which |
he has so long patiently submit
ted. Instead of the cotton crop
OF the present year going blindly |
on to the market as heretofore, it is |
going into storage rooms there to
remain until the demand calls for
it at prices that mean reasonable
profits to the grower but, in no
sense excessive to the mill. In
deed as we have argued so many
times and we think conelusively,
the mills may get their supplies
cheaper than under former meth
DDS, for the prices will be steady,
free from corners and manipula-
tion, and they will come direct
from first hands instead of from
hellish pits of speculation. Two
simple words have brought about
this great change In sentiment and
neutrality-suspicious. and CO.
operation and it is not at all out
OF place to say that Up-to- Date
Farming set that wave of thought
in motion, and the American Soc.
lety of Equity crytallized it into
action.

livery TO the weather bureau to be used
in printing the weather map. In few

of in that quarter before A machine that
is in effect a justifylng typewriter is the
main part Of the new invention.
On this machine the operator prints out
his matter Just as he desires 1t to appear
in the newspaper or job of printing, the
machine producing a perfect copy, in
which the letters all have their printed
value and in which every line is justified,

down on a thin sheet of zinc or aluminium

As Mr. johnson explains the process Is
simply lthography perfected for practical
printing purposes A felt roller precedes
the ink roller on the press, leaving a film
of moisture over the blank portions of
the plate. The design itself, patented by
the company, rejects moisture and takes
the ink which is Immediately taken off
by the paper Although the matter Is ap-
parently composed in its final form on the
machine, II can be corrected precisely as
linotype printing is corrected, and can be
made up by a clever system of zinc
slugs ontd which the copy is transferred
before finally being placed on the zinc or
aluminium sheet which Is placed on the
press.
Along with it's feat of accomplishing
typeless composition, the company has de-
vised a new system of cuts, or picture
reproductions. which the printers pro-
nounce far superior to anything the print
ing world has yet seen. These cuts are
produced from photographs without the
use of the familiar half tone" screen
and are printed similar TO the manner of

astonishing feature OF the process is the
