juice from the milk screw Is invariably

is not apparent: the fact, however,
was always observed. The juice from
the cream screw is, in turn, much
clearer than the untreated juice.
The Qualification of 25 gallons of

of the bowl with sediment, requires
about one hour and a quarter, the
juice passing through the bowl twice
AS soon as the juice is clarified by
the separator, it must be sterilized in
closed containers. The points which
have been carefully determined in this
work have been the lowest safe tenn
perature and the shortest period of
heating for bottles and for cans.
If the juice is not to be packed and
shipped, glass fruit jars. or bottles
with patent shoppers, may be employ
ed, but to stand shipping well, sealed
cans or cork-stoppered bottles must
be used.
In the work with bottles, quart
bottles Of the champagne type were
used. These were filled with clari-
fled juice, some air space being left
to allow for expansion of the liquid
on heating. The bottles were placed
upright and entirely submerged in
water In tank which could be heat
ed by Jet OF steam. About 10 min
utes were required to bring the water
in the tank up to the temperatures

Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is a well
known fact that baking powder in
which Alum Is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. Dr. Herman
Reinbold, the expert German chemist,
in recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream of
Tartar powders. He says that If the
quantity of alum contained in suf-
ficient quantity of baking powder for
batch of bread or cakes for an ordi-
nary family, be concentrated to one
mouthful of food, and taken into the
stomach Of any one person, no matter
how delicate, 1t could do no harm.

HOME MADE REMEDY
INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE-
PARED BY ANYONE.
10 Said to Promptly Relieve Backaehe
and Overcome Kidney Trouble and
Bladder Weakness Though Harm
less and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from New York daily paper,
giving simple prescription, as formu-
lated by a noted authority. who claims
that he has found a positive rem
edy to cure almost any case of back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment, In the following simple prescrip-
ton, II taken before the stage of
Brights disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless,
and can be obtained at a small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up If
asked to do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no rea-
son why it would not be a splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary trou-
bles and backache, as it has peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important Or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those who suffer
can make no mistake in giving it a
trial

How determined tho world is becom.
ing to put an end to food adulteration
Is shown in many ways. The passage
OF the pure food bill by the British
house OF commons is especially sig
nificant. England is conservative
country, and it takes a long time to
stir up the people to the point where
they demand action looking to inter-
ference with old established customs.
But food adulteration is so prevalent
and affects directly or indirectly so
many subjects of the king that the
necessity Of putting an end to It is
impressed on the popular mind. Par
lament, responding to this sentiment,
has passed an act which recalls the
legislation in this country on the same
subject. The fight against that form
OF rascality which consists of fraud
In food goes merrily on and should re.
suit in great reform.

Aunt Susan's Heart Went Out to
"Pore Missus Astor."

Uncle Eli felt he knew the metropo-
lis pretty well. Had he not been there
three times in four years-and twice
he had ridden on the elevated. So
when he brought Aunt Susan with
him ION the fourth trip he naturally
assumed the role of guide.
She marveled at everything until
they sat down for luncheon. They
had gone into the Astor house for that
meal, but all it's other marvels seemed
lost on the visiting country hostess, as
she looked open-eyed at the crowds
that filled not only the corridors but
the restaurants. Scarcely had they
found seats, when this amazement
took definite shape.

Brief Pantomime Told Everything to

COURAGE.

SOuIoHC
One Of the most unhappy, but a. the
same time impressive, sights ever
Witnessed at the headquarters of the
New York pehce department. took
place there recently. when patrsl-
man was discharged from the service
because OF cowardice. In the pres
ence of his brother officers his badge
was unpinned from his breast and the
buttons cut from his uniform. No
such thing had happened before for
more than 80 years. 1t is q curious
trait In human nature that physical
courage, the virtue which Is most
cherished and most extolled, should
be at the same time perhaps the COM
monest. The great popularity of the
soldier and the military hero is due
almost entirely to the fact that origin.
ally 1t was the soldier especially who
was obliged to exercise physical cour-
age. 1t is not improbable that the
lessening tendency to make heroes Of
soldiers merely because they are sol
diers Is due to growing perception
that many other occupations call for
and produce men who do quite as
daring deeds in circumstances far less
favorable to gallantry. 1t would be
an exceedingly interesting thing If
one could trace the influence of news
papers and other periodicals on the
prevalence of physical courage. There
can be no doubt, says Youths Com
panion, that the influence is consider
able. Nothing is seized more eagerly
by the reporters t'ian stories of hero
ism." and not much Is read with great
er interest by the people. In days,
then, when every man is a hero who
stops a runaway horse or pulls little
boy out Of a brook, 1t must be that
the popular imagination is very con-
siderably stimulated and the mind
stirred to emulation by the newspaper
reports.

On wit and Humor.

Man is the only animal that laughs
and weeps, for he is the only animal
that Is struck with the difference be-
tween what things are and what they
ought to be. We weep at what
thwarts or exceeds our desires in seri
Gus matters; we laugh at what only
disappoints our expectations in trifles
We shed tears from sympathy with
real and necessary distress; as we
burst into laughter from want of sym
pathy with that which is unreasonable
and unnecessary, the absurdity OF
which provokes our spleen or mirth
rather than serious reflections on it.

The first thing, of course, Is to be

Of oiled paper. In one you may put a

In another packet place some tasty
sweet. Avoid pie assiduously, but any
cake that Is not too rich and that
has only plain icing will answer the
purpose nicely. Fruit, too, should be
added, with some crisp cookies or
ginger waters, but do not be tempted
to insert any candy unless you chance
to have a supply of absolutely pure
maple sugar.

Sharinu Prosperity.

A Buffalo savings bank has In
creased its interest rate from three
and half to four per cent, and in
making the announcement explains
that last year it earned $3.50, 900 over
all expenses and feels that depositors
should have the benefit. This is not
only indicative of excellent manage
ment In this particular case, but Ia
evidence of the general soundness I'M
derlying the surface Of business, re-
marks the Troy Times. Were Il
otherwise savings banks could not so
readily find sound and remunerative
investments and would not be able to
pay comfortable interest to patrons
At time when there is more or less
OF a disposition to take a pessimistic
view Of certain financial features It is
well to recall the admirable showing
made by savings banks as a whole.
These are the custodians of the money
or the Industrious workers who save
what they can Of their earnings, and
the fact that deposits have increased
enormously of late shows thai wage
earners are doing well, while the in
creasing rate of interest is proof that
such savings are wisely handled.
Many a capitalist would be content to
receive steady dividend Of four per
cent on his money.

Indignant letters are appearing in
the London Times on the question of
the Indecent novels which seem to be
the vogue In England. A reviewer says
he has had six such novels in his hands
during the past year, and declares that
1T would be impossible in an ordinary
miscellaneous publication to describe
the subjects they deal with or CON-
ment effectually on the minuteness
with which they deal with neurotic
sensations" The general opinion, re.
marks San Francisco Argonaut, is
that the bulk of these novels are writ
ten by women.

most delicious and easily prepared
brown bread. Mix together three
quarters cup each of white -four and
graham with one teaspoon of baking
powder and one-eighth of teaspoon
of salt. Then add one-quarter ip
each of molasses and chopped English
walnut meats. Mix to batter with
milk-it will require about three-quar-
tiers of a cup-and bake in a moderate
oven. The nut meats add an indie
scribable richness Of flavor.-Good

PREPARING INTERVIEWED
APPLE JUICE FOR MARKET
II. Chemistry, United States Depart
Agriculture.

A method of Qualification of apple
Juice which is cheap and may be APP
piled on a small or large scale, is
Qualification by use OF a cream sepa-
rator Repeated trials have shown
that cream separator can SUCCESSFUL
ly clarity the Juice, leaving only traces
of sediment in the product. Absolute
clearness of the Juice Is not produced
by use of the machine, but practically
all sediment can be removed by this
process. In the experimental work to
be described hand-power cream sepa-
rator of the disk type was employed.
The first trial of the method indicated
that satisfactory Qualification of APP
pie Juice could readily be obtained by
use of the separator, and many further
trials have confirmed these early indi-
cations. The suspended matter in the
juice collects In the bowl of the sepa-
rator, while the clean juice runs out
through the machine, the heavier
particles originally present-the starch
grains and any soil or dirt particles,
together with some albuminous matter
are to be found tightly packed in
the lower part of the tubular shaft in
the bowl of the machine, while a
heavy layer of albuminous material is
invariably packed on the inner side OF
the bowl and higher layer on the In
ner side of the bowl cover. The disks
remain quite free from sediment.
When the space between the disks
end the sides of the bowl is quite filled
with sediment, the flow from the milk
screw ceases and the flow from the
cream screw is much increased. At
this time the machine should be
stopped and the bowl cleaned. The

in the fattening pen as early in the
fall as possible, 1t is not probable
that they will lay much during the fall

for the birds that are to make up the
