Digestibility of Eggs.

At a test at the Minnesota
station regarding the digestibility
of hard and soft boiled eggs, it
was found that eggs boiled five
or ten minutes at temperature
of $50 degrees were completely
digested in a solution of pepsin
in five hours time, while eggs
cooked but three minutes at 212
degrees showed 8.3 per cent. un
digested protein at the end OF
that time; cooked five minutes a,
the same time, SO per cent. un.
digested protein, and when cooked
twenty minutes, 4 | per cent. un-
digested protein at the end of five
hours. This would indicate that
a hard-boiled egg is as easy to
digest as one that is soft boiled.

Headache almost always yields
to the simultaneous application
Of hot water to the feet and back
Of the neck. A towel folded, dip
ped in hot water, wrung out
quickly and applied over the
stomach, acts like magic in cases
of collie. A towel folded several
times and dipped in hot water,
quickly wrung out and applied
over the seat of pain, will in most
cases promptly relieve toothache
and neuralgia. A strip of flannel
or towel folded several times
lengthwise and dipped in hot
water then slightly wrung out
and applied about the neck of a
child suffering with an acute
attack of Group, will usually re-
lieve the sufferer in the course
of ten minutes, if the flannel is
kept hot. There is no domestic

An Editors Experience Rails

Our Home, Marshville, N.
c.: The editor of this paper
raised something like 10000
pounds of cabbage this year on
an acre of unimproved land. We
ate cabbage, sold cabbage, ship
ped cabbage on order and on
consignment, and still they stood
in the patch and rotted for want
of customers to take them away
at one cent a pound We fed our
hogs and cows on cabbage, gave
cabbage away to the neighbors
and still we couldn't clear that
patch of them. On one shipment
of a half thousand pounds to a
commission merchant we got
nothing-not even pay for max
ing the crates. We felt relieved
when informed that the five
crates of cabbage had been sold
for just enough to pay the ex-
press charges on them, for that
meant that we wouldn't be called
upon to pay any of the express
charges in addition to losing the
cabbage and the crates ! If some
other fellow in this vicinity
should have had an acre in cab.

Do You Open Your Mouth

Like young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you
Or, do you want to know something OF the
composition and character Of that which
you take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or rs medicine.
DR.. Pierce believes they have perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle
wrapper, what his medicines are made of
and verifies it under oath. This he feels
he can well afford to do because the more
the ingredients of which his medicines
are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.
For the cure OF woman's peculiar weak
nesscs, irregularities and arrangements,
giving rise TO frequent headaches, back
ache, dragging-d down pain or distress in
lower abdominal or pelvic region, accom-
panied, ofttimcS, with debilitatng,
pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred Symp-
toms of weakness, DR.. Picrcc'S Favorite

1t is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system OF
the cXpcctant mother for baby'S coming,
thus rendering childbirth safe and com

tinue in the discharge from the
bowels and kidneys for weeks,
and months after recovery, but
they are likewise sometimes
present in the bowels of perfect
ly healthy persons who are what
is known as immune to the dis.
ease. But ordinary decency, to
say nothing of health, requires
this work to be done.
The most important thing Of
all is, however, the disinfection
of the body discharges of case.
Every case of typhoid fever
comes from another case directly,
or in some round bout way. If
the germs in the first case were
destroyed while in reach they
could not start another case.
Hence the necessity for the dis
infection referred to. The bed.
pan should be covered imme-
diately to protect it from flies, a
suitable disinfectant, to be pre-
soribed by the attending physl-
clan, in sufficient quantity should
be buried. The nurse, after every
handling of the patient, should
wash and disinfect his or her
hands.
When a case of fever occurs in
family, the first thing to do is
to boil all drinking water, at
least until an analysis of it can
be made in the State Laboratory
Of Hygiene, which will be made
free Of charge upon application
to the Secretary Of the State
Board of Health by the attending
physician. AS matter of fact.
this laboratory was begun by the
State Board Of Agriculture for
the very purpose of helping the
farmers in this way, and it is still
contributing TO it's support. By
this liberal and heightened action
on their part many a case of
typhoid fever has been prevented, g,
and we doubt if any expenditure
of the same amount of money
has been productive of an equal
amount of good. The drinking
water Of a family in which occurs
typhoid fever should always be
analyzed as socr as p0ssible. Re.
membering that the germs are
found in dust, it follows that
after the recovery or death of the
patient the room occupied bv
him should be thoroughly clean
ed and dlsinfected.
The prevention Of typhoid
fever is summed up in one word
Cleanliness.

Typhoid Fever.
Cause Of the DiseaSe---HoW
it May be Transmitted, and
How it May be Prevented.
Progressive Farmer.

is caused by germ known as the
bacillus typhosus, which attacks
certain glands in the walls of
of the bowel and causes their
liberation. The condition here
being favorable to their growth,
they increase with marvellous
rapidity.
To produce the disease, the
germs must be swallowed. Now
bow does it come about2
First-and chiefy-through
the drinking water, typhoid few
er being one of the water borne
diseases. The bowel discharges
are thrown out on the ground.
The rain comes and washes the
germs directly into the we'll or
spring, or, most commonly, in
the case of wells they seep
through the soil and find an en-
trance in that way. Sometimes
they are introduced by handling
the we'll bucket with dirty hands.
A pump is safer than open we'll.
Second, through milk. The we'll
at the dairy is infected and the
cans washed in that water get
some of the germs in them and
they grow lu1uriantly In the
milk with which they arc after
wards filled. Or the milker, hav.
ing what is known as q "walking
case," or nursing case of fever,
gets his hands soiled and the
germs are transmitted to the
milk in that way.
Third, by flies, which having
orawled over the bowel discharg-
es fly into the kitchen or dining
room and plant the germs stick
ing to their feet on the food. In
the investigation of the great
outbreak among our troops dur
ing the Spanish War, this method
of transmission was demonstrate
ed.
Fourth, by dust infected with
germs getting into the food or
water, or on the clothes, then on
the hands, then in the mouth.
Fifth, by careless nursing
case, eating with unwashed hands.
And in other less common WAYS.
Typhoid fever is more prevail
ent in the country than in cities
having public water supply
and sewerage system. The reas-
on for this ls that the well or
spring is more apt to become
contaminated from car elessness
in permitting accumulations of
filth of various kinds, which fur
nlsh breeding places for the
germs, too near the we'll, and
neglect of the surface privy. The
surface of the ground all around
the well for a distance of not
less than three times its depth
should be kept scrupulously
clean of house and kitchen slops,
stable manure, etc.
More especially should the
pIivy be carefully looked after.
A plentiful supply of dry earth
or dust should be kept on hand
and each evacuation covered
therewith. If used in sufficient
quantities this would not only
prevent the infection of flies, but
would destroy the odors. Not less
