Their discovery that instead Of her
ankle being entangled in the picket
rope, it was the snake which was en-
twined around her ankle. The rep
tile coiled SO tightly and was of such
weight that the young lady was
thrown violently to the ground.
Finally gaining her freedom from
the monster, which she was able to
shake off only after superhuman ef-
forts, she continued her fight toward
home.
In her haste she stepped on rusty
nail, which penetrated the flesh to the
depth of about two inches. Blood
poison set in and only by the hardest
kind of work was the life Of the young
woman saved.

better in every way than a majority
Of those who claim the sordid, Cruel
ling cities as their homes. Most of
the farmers nowadays have unmort-
gagged dwellings on profitable acres.
Their sons and daughters go to col
leges and technical schools, where they
learn how to return to the farms and
get more out of the soil than their
fathers were able to do. The cities
do not offer the attractions to those
young people they once held. 1t is
hard to understand why more Of the
complainers and those who say they
cannot earn enough to keep them
selves and their families in the cities
do not go to the agricultural communi-
ties, where they are sure of an abund-
ance Of food and good shelter.

INcIPIENT CONSUMPTION.
How Food Headed or the InsidiOus
Disease.

Disease
The happy wife of a good old-fash-
Toned Michigan farmer says:
''In the spring of 1902 was taken
sick-a general breaking down, as
it were. 1 was excessively nervous,
could not sleep well at night, my food
seemed to do me no good, and I was
so weak 1 could scarcely walk across
the room.
1.-THE doctor said my condition was
due to overwork and close confinement
and that he very much feared that con-
sumption would set in. For several
months 1 took one kind of medicine af-
ter another, but with no good effect
in fact, seemed to grow worse.
"Then 1 determined to quit all medi-
cines, give up coffee and see what
Grape-Nuts food would do for me.
began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar
and cream and bread and butter three
times a day.
1.-THE effect was surprising! I began
to gain flesh and strength forthwith,
my nerves quoted down and grew nor
mally steady and sound, sweet sleep
came back to me. In six weeks time
/ discharged the hired girl and COM
menced to do my own homework for
a family of six. This was two years
ago, and am doing it still, and enjoy
it." Name given by Postum Co., Bat

To meet the disclosures of perjury,
theft, bribery and other crimes in high
places both the bench and the bar
must act to prevent the overthrow of
real democratic institutions. The ar
senals of the law must be reached
for effective weapons. The armory
of justice must be ransacked for swift
procedure. The tide Of crime which
is now receiving its encouragement
from above will swell from the depths
beneath unless its exemplars in high
places are punished.

What a strange and terrible thing
it is that for nearly two thousand
years the bftterest hatred and the fierc-
est persecution have concentrated upon
that race through which the world re-
ceived its great message of peace and
good will! The history of civilization
is full Of dark pages, but the blacklist
of all are those which touch the SUBJ
ject Of religion. Pagans have fought
Christians and Christians have put
pagans to the sword The hand Of the
Catholic has been turned against the
Protestant and the hand of the Prot
estant against the Catholic; and even
the smaller sects have fought each 9TH
er when they could not unite to fight
common foe, But the Jews have
been prosecuted or denied civil rights
in almost every country in Christen-
dom, and have found enemies in every
Christian sect. Even in this twentieth
century they suffer moral if not physi-
cal persecution in enlightened" Ger
many and France. The recent terri
bic outbreak against the Jews in Odes-
sa and other parts of Russia was
doubtless due in part to the ignorance
and bigotry Of the Russian peasants,
and in part to misrepresentation by
men in power, to whom every such di-
version is a screen for their own evil
deeds. In contrast to the outrages in
Russia, how brightly shines the con-
duct Of the Jews throughout the world,
who have rallied SO promptly to the
succor of their helpless brethren! Ev-
cry day has brought its reports of add
ed thousands pouring in to the relief
fund, much Of the money coming from
the poorest Jews in English and Amer
lean cities. Nor have the Christians
withheld the helping hand. Here, at
least, is sign Of that larger brother
hood of man which in time must over
ride the barriers of race and creed.

handkerchief Oil of Lemon

"This oil of lemon" said the spice
merchant, lis an exquisite thing. 1t is
hand-pressed- pressed by hand out Of
lemon rind. Smell it,
The odor of the clear oil suggested
sunlit lemon groves miles in extent on
a mountainside overlooking the blue
sea.
''I'll tell you how the oil Of lemon is
extracted" he said. "a man sits with
a sponge in one hand and a piece of
fresh lemon peel in the other. He
presses the peel against the sponge,
giving it finally certain difficult and
dexterous twist, and this breaks the
cells in the rind, and the oil-there's
only a half drop Of it-comes reluc-
family out upon the sponge.
'sWhen the sponge has taken up the
dribblings of about hundred rinds, it
is wet enough to be squeezed out. An
ounce or so of clear and fragrant oil
them flows from it.
There is no way to extract this oil
within lemon rind except by squeez-
ing and twisting the rind by hand It
takes the rinds of about 1,200 lemons
to make one pound OF OIL"

Secretary Wilson's report for the
year 1905 shows how the American
farmer has sent abroad in the last
sixteen years $12,OOO,OOO,OOO worth Of
agricultural produce, that staggering
figure representing the excess of what
we produce over what we need our
selves, and in that time has not only
wiped out a balance of trade against
us but has ''salted down" $5,635, 00O,-
600 to his own credit. The farmer
has made the nations prodigious pros
perity and is getting big share of it,
whether it is his full equitable share
or not.

From waste paper alone one rail-
road, last year, realized $4,000. Pins,
pens, nails, old brooms, bottles, tin
cans and worn-out machinery Of all
sorts are gathered up along the route
by all the railway companies and
turned into money. Even the ashes
are sold or utilized for improving the
roadbed. These things seem small TO
command the attention of rich rail-
way company. But it must be remem-
bered that the railway company is rich
because it looks after the little things.
The greatest corporations in the world
are not above taking care Of the frac
tons Of pennies. The railway scrap
heap Of the country last year reached
the value of $1,2500O0-a most re-

ing it came from picked-up pins and
paper, old nails and old brooms.
Waste forms one Of the most vital
questions in economics, not alone for
railroads and big manufacturing
plants, but for every household. 1t is
impossible, Of course, for any very
great sum to be realized in the saving
Of waste in household. And yet the
usual waste Of any home is relatively
far greater than that Of a railroad
We think it mean and miserly to look
after the little things. And for that
