BEEF TEA REQUIRES CARE.
Time Must Be Given for Extraction es
Nutriment.

Every home nurse is supposed to
know how to make beef tea, yet it is
surprising how many failures are to be
recorded in this apparently simple
operation. The fault generally is that
too little time is given to the cooking.
The point to be borne in mind is that,
as far as possible, the whole of the
nutriment Of the beef is to be extract
ed. The best method of doing this is
to proceed as follows: Remove all the
fat and skin from one pound of fresh
gravy beef, cut it up in small pieces
and put it into a stone jar with a pint
Of water and little salt. Replace the
lid OF the jar and let it stand all night.
The next morning place the jar in
saucepan Of boiling water and let 1t
simmer gently, but never boil. for five
hours. Strain the fluid through col.
ander, but instead of throwing away
the residue of the meat pound it in a
mortar into a pulp, pass 1t through
wire sieve and add It to the beef tea,
says Woman's Life. Beef tea made.
according to this recipe contains all
the fiber and albumen of the meat, and
is therefore much more nutritious than
beef tea in the form it is usually given.

WOMAN WHO HAS FOUGHT BIG
NEBRASKA COMBINE.
Mrs. Kehoe, Of Plat Centre, Has Pros
pered In Business During Ten
Year strugeIe-story Brought
Out by Probe.

| Omaha, Neb.-In fight lasting tel
years, Mrs. Kate A. Kehoe, of Platte
| Centre, Neb., has beaten and put te
flight the Nebraska grain trust. To
day Mrs. Kehoe is prosperous and
successful, while the great grain men
who control the Nebraska grain trust
are lodging around in their efforts
to escape the summons server and
the federal grand juries.
The story of Mrs. Kehoe was
brought out in the recent investiga'
ton into the grain trade in the west
before the interstate commerce com.
mission at its Omaha session, and at
its close the commissioners congratu-
lated Mrs. Kehoe upon the remarkable
fight which she has just made against
the big combination.
While the fight has been going on
Mrs. Kehoe has risen from Shovel
house" to be the owner of two big
grain elevators, and from handling a
few wagon loads of corn she is now
one of the largest grain buyers along
the line of the Union Pacific rail-
road
In addition to her fight with the
grain trust, Mrs. Kehoe has been
obliged to fight the railroads for her
supply of cars in which to ship her
grain, as well as to whip the members
of the Omaha and other grain ex-
changes into line, thus forcing for
herself market for her grain, once
she had purchased it.
Ten years ago, when Mr.. Kehoe
died, about the only asset he left to
his widow was small grain business
transacted through Shovel house,"
In grain parlance Shovel house" is
q dealer who buys from the farmer
and shovels the grain into a ware
house, afterward shoveling it into a
railroad car, instead of handling the
business through an elevator. Every
elevator man considers it his business
to down" Shovel house" whenever
he can do II.
Mrs. Kehoe continued the Shovel
house" business, and in addition she
opened up an implement, house. SELL
ing all sorts of farming implements.
Then the grain trust got after her.
They wanted her to quit buying grain
from the farmers. She refused to give
up her business, and the trust began
work" against her. Her. customers
In the cities were coerced into refus-
ing to buy from her. She met this |
attack by obtaining new customers. |
Then the railroads began shutting
OF her supply of freight cars. She
was compelled to sit idly by and |
watch her competitors load car after
car, while none were given to her.

TO COPE WITH GROUP.
!esmedies the Mother Should Have on
Hand for Emergencies.

When doctor cannot be secured
promptly in an emergency 1t is neces-
,ary to have good remedy always on
hand when children are inclined to be
:roupy.
A mother who will provide herself
with half pint of raw linseed oil can
tight the worst case of Group she may
meet with.
It is said to be an unfailing remedy,
and for quick results 1t beats anything
else which can be given for that dread
disease.
Half a teaspoonful is a dose, unless
the child is choking very badly; then
give teaspoonful.
1t acts two ways. In the first stage
Of Group, where there is not much
mucus, It is loosened and carried OF
through the bowels.
In the second stage it causes vomit-
Ing, but, unlike ipecac, it leaves no
soreness of the throat as an after diff
aculty.
It is rarely necessary to give more
than one dose, when the child will get
relief and go to sleep again.
This simple remedy is one that is
within the reach of every mother and
one that can be kept on hand at all
times, and while 1t is in the house the
dread membranous Group need cause
no terrors.

con1agration. The fires then burn
into the peaty mass slowly for weeks
and weeks, until at last the heavy
rains of the wet season come and
Quench the smoldering mass and re-
store the water to the surface again.
The theory Of a fire origin Is given
for the presence of Lake Drummond,
an expanse OF clear water in the heart
OF the swamp. It is thought by many
students of the region that a fire of
unusual length and severity during
the dry season formed there basin
several feet in depth, which when the
rains fell again filled up and became
lake.
The canal has been great CONNER
cial benefit to the Dismal Swamp, be-
cause it has done the work of a drain
age system. In the days of the colon
lists the swamp was infinitely more
marshlike than at present, but with
the completion Of the canal it was OBJ
served that large areas of morass be-
came traversable for pedestrians.

Bishop Greer's Opinion. ae,zy--ss
Rt. Rev. David H. Greer, bishop
coadjutor of the diocese OF New
York, when told Of Mr.. Mitchelps
views on the divorce question:. said
that in his opinion the prevalence Of
divorce was not due to the indiffer.
ence of parents or the lack Of instruc-
tion to those about to marry, but was
manifestation of the moral IRE
sponsibility OF the day.
II doubt If the lesson Mr.. Mitchell
outlines can be taught in the way he
has chosen" Bishop Greer said. II
am not even certain that it does young
people any good to teach them all that
married life means-its sufferings and
sacrifices. They know we'll enough
what marriage is when they get
into it.

haps it may be traced to the modern
spirit of agnosticism. It is one mani.

modern life"
"Such as corruption in political or

"The spirit makes itself felt in

the statements Of an authority on

It is done in this way: Place an open

heat long enough to give of sufficient
steam to saturate the air in the oven.
When the loaves are put in they

their coolness a momentary condensa-

to obtain felicity and comfort, rather
than an institution having for one OF
its important objects the preservation
Of society.
"Mr. Mitchell has SKINNED a sub
ject," said Prof. Adler, (which, to be
thoroughly discussed, would require
all the reflection of work on philoso-
ply. l should be inclined to go beyond
the people in the divorce courts and
beyond the neglect of the parents to
inform their children regarding the
duties and obligations of marriage,
and to say the blame lay in the abb

GRAFTON Of the marriage relation in the
parents themselves.
Marriage should not be considered,
as Is sometimes the case, merely for
the felicity and comfort which the re-
lation affords. Marriage is an insti-
tuition for the perpetuation of the best
spiritual element In our race. A child
needs the protection, the spiritual in
fuence, and the material guidance of
the home long after infancy is passed.
We see in nature the mountains, the
rocks, the rivers. They are perma-
nent. We face a condition in which
the most precious thing of all-life-
is ever in danger Of extinction. It Is
the preservation Of this most precious
thing that should be the source of
thought and study by those who live
in the marriage relation. The blessed
felicity Of marriage Is result, not
the motive, Of marriage"
"Is the ignorance with which young
people approach marriage due to a
lack Of frankness on the part of the.
Il would hardly say that" Prof. Ad-
Ter replied. "A New England woman
