Health Value Of Condiments.

"The proper u7e OF unadulterated spices
in cooking says \. ;. Atkinson, NJ. d.,
"is o be commended from a health point
of view as we'll as from that of the epi-
cure. In such spices as pepper, cloves,
cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cassia we
find elements hat have distinct medicinal
value, and many of them are used in med
icinal prescriptions for the sick and all
ing. But their chief virtue is their direct
action upon the stomach and appetite,
81 imulating sometimes our desire for
food, and promoting digestion at times
when the system Is in a sluggish condi-
tion.n
A. X. Gray, NJ ID, i'm the American Jour-
nal of Health say: "The only feature in
the widespread use of condiments TO
arouse apprehension is the harmful adul-
terations VIII ch prevail to so great an ex-
tent

Living SpiTitS."

Some noteworthy admissions were
made by several speakers at the an
nual Convention OF Spirilualists held
I'm London recently. The secretary
OF the Union, i'm a speech OF medium
ship, warned his hearers that there
we're grave dangers attending the
practice. Two city gentlemen who
also gave their testimony admitted
that a spirit had grossly deceived
them. BY several professional Spirit
ualists It is freely admitted that lying
spirits may deceive even the elect. ~
The history OF Spiritualism leaves no
doubt that these lying spirits have
been very numerous. Then what can
be the value OF communications from
the other side which are thus imper-
lied? What guarantee has any one
that the truth is being told?
TO certain people there is a great
fascination in the idea OF communi-
eating directly with the beyond. y
But what information has ever
reached us from the other side that Is
really Trustworthy, or OF any practi-
cal use? From an intellectual and
evidential point OF view, there Is
nothing less satisfactory than the re-
suits OF Spiritualsm. On the other
hand. according TO Spiritualists them
selves, there are grave dangers at
tending the meuium.
The Bible, in forbidding medium
ship IS our friend. God does not wish
His children 10 be at the disposal OF
lying spirits. He has told US all that
Il Is necessary 10 know in this life.
and II men refuse that word, they viii
not be persuaded though one rose
from the dead London Christian.

Eczema appeared when our baby was
three months old. We applied to several
doctors and hospitals, each of which gave
us something different every time, but moth

friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment A few days after

Eyes and Moving Picture Shows.

IF the investigations could have
gone far enough TO show the causes, "
declared a prominent oculist the other
day, the school authorities would
have found that there is one cause that
is an important factor in the trouble
with childrens eyes. 1t is these NOV
ing picture shows. Children and
grown, people, too. who are in the hab-
it of looking at the moving pictures
are apt TO put their eyes on a strain,
and develop an eye trouble that is diff
ferent from any other."-Cleveland

 chairs and divans of wicker, there can
 be had many other articles, such as | washstanSs, chiffoniers, desks, bu-

 Sometimes we enter room that is restful, giving forth an atmosphere of repose and quiet which makes us wish to stay there. It may not have new furniture and hangings, or be richly furnished, but what there is has been arranged with such perfect taste that there is a grateful harmony soothing to weary minds and tired nerves To arrange such a room it takes more than merely acquired taste, built on knowledge of light and color har- monies. There must be a sure and certain feeling where to put that chair, where to hang that picture, how many ornaments are permissible what color and design of carpet and paper to use. There are no set rules for the restful room. It may be the library, the bedroom, the par1or, the kitchen even, and but one thing is common to all these-if they are of the restful sort-they are not crowded with fur nituye. We can go out and get gayety and excitement enough; or we can have these at home, if we so wish it; but the most of us prefer to come home and feel the restful and quiet atmosphere given by tasteful sur roundings. It is given to very few to rise superior to their surroundings, indifferent to ugly and inharmonious things. Only those who have known the figured, yellow paper the 75-cent gilt mantle clock, the unspeakable, up- holstered, spindle-legged sofa, the painted tin plaque on twisted wire stand-those alone who have known these can appreciate the effort it takes to keep an equable temper over such surroundings, and the relief which is felt when foot is set in home in which the keynote is repose and rest fitness.

A man who has been a farmer for over sixty years, and who is a decided success at the business, sums up his experience in these words. Farm product have selling value at the place of their makine-a va.Ie just as they come from the toil They have also an additional value to the farmer who converts them into more con. densed form, by feeding them to live. stock That is their feeding value. We thus get to the manure value, and it surely is a most important one. To increase the fertility of the soil, is like loaning money at compound in- terest-it doubles the value every eight or ten years. The farmer who sells loses the feeding and manurial values. If he parts with a ton of hay for $9, say, and could make it pay him SIP by feeding it to cattle and sheep, he has lost $3 of the feeding value and s worth of manure In other words, he has sold his hay for $6 per ton less than it was worth if used by him." The need of pasture, hay and livestock in good farming are thus seen.-Home and Farm.

PROPER CARE OF SHOES.
Application of Petroleum Ointment ls
 Good for Them.

An excellent preservative of shoe leather is petroleum ointment. If a small quantity be applied to new shoes it will soften the leather, and if enameled leather will keep it soft much longer than ordinarily and ren- der it less liable to crack. If worn shoes are cleaned and blackened and then rubbed with the petroleum oint- ment their appearance and wearing qualities will be much improved Have a box of oats handy and when the shoes are taken off remove all mud and dirt, lace or button them fill half full with oats and stuff the tops with crumpled paper. When neces- sary to wear the shoes empty them and they will be found to have kept their shape, and will not be drawn if they were the least bit damp when taken off.

SPINACH FOR THE WINTER.
Directions for Canning This Healthfu'
 and Succuient Vegetable.

Pick over the spinach when you have washed it and strip the leaves from the main stems without bruising them. Cover with cold water and leave in this to freshen and crisp them. In an hours time transfer the leaves, dripping wet, to granite or porcelain pot, adding no water except that which drips from the spinach. Set this pot or jar in a larger vessel of cold water. Cover the inner yes sel closely to keep in the steam and set both over the fire When the water in the outer pot begins to boil open the inner and stir the contents gently with your wooden ladle to make sure that they are heated to the center. Cover again and let the boil go on for half an hour more. There should be enough liquid from the sue culent leaves to cover the spinach when packed into the jars. Seal i'm" mediately.

Deaths from x-Rays.

The death of Dr. Weigel, a surgeon of Rochester, from a disease due to the constant use of the X-rays makes the fourth who has lost his life from this cause, says the Christian Advo- cate.
 The others were an assistant of Thomas Edison, a Boston physician and a woman of San Francisco named Fleischman. In the case of Dr. Wei gel since 1904, when his right hand and all but the thumb and finger of the left hand were removed, there had been four operations in trying to save his life. The first removed a part of the right shoulder; then part of the muscles covering the right breast.
 Mystery completely envelops the cause of death, the disease being un- known to medical science, though it is believed to involve some great prin- ciple of life. Dr. Weigel was presi- dent of the Rochester Academy of Medicine and the American Ortho- paedic society.

Take Care of Your Gloves.

There is nothing so conducive to a woman's self-respect as to be neatly and fashionably gloved. "A lady is known by her shoes and by her gloves" It is an aphorism that has stood the test of years.
 Many women make the mistake of thinking that tight-ftting glove causes the hand to look small. Nothing is farther from the truth A tight-ftting glove makes the hand bulge in places so that it looks ill- pro- portioned. On the other hand, the glove that is too large gives a slovenly appearance to the hand. Everything depends on the way the glove is put on the first time The glove which is once put on crooked can never be strengthened.
 It is poor economy to buy bargain sale gloves, except on rare occasions when you are sure of their quality.

Evaporated Pears.

Soak the pears over night in luke warm water, first washing thoroughly. When ready to cook put into small pipkin or baking dish of earthenware, sprinkle with sugar or sweeten to taste with molasses; flavor with lit tie whole clove, cinnamon, or ginger, cover with water, then cover the whole with a close-ftting lid, and bake in a slow oven until the pears are ten der and the liquid of jellylike con sistency. These are delicious served with hot gingerbread. If a gas range is used, and you do not wish to keep up the oven fire, simmer gently, cov- cred, on top of the range, using either the sinmerer or a small burner turned low

Jeff Davis for President.

Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois, form erly vice president of the United
 States, is fond of telling of an odd ex- perience he had shortly after the civil war At the time David Davis was much talked of as the man to run against Gen. Grant for the presidency. A conference was held in MT. Steven sons Bloomington residence, many leading Illinois and other Democrats being present. A good deal was said about the possible candidacy of MT. Davis, but no one happened to men, tion his first name. After the confer ence broke up MT. Stevenson drew an old farmer friend into a corner and asked his opinion.

I'M MICE RANTS.

The question of immigrants is no little importance to our people an :. the following figures will give you an idea of the number in the United States each year; Last fiscal year Italy sent us 2S5, GOO immigrants; Rus sia, 255,000; Hungary, 193,000; Aus tria, 144,00; Great Britain, 111,000; Germany, 3700o; Greece, 96,000; Ja- pan, 30,000, and Norway, 22,000, and so on from other countries. Yet Wa hear the cry from almost every news paper and from every demagogue politician for more immigrants.
 We have never yet been able to un- derstand why certain classes are so anxious for more immigrants. Here in Birmingham we have Greeks and Italians who get rich in few years and take their money back to the old coun- try. The fact is the only immigrants, as rule, who stay with us are the ones who can't get enough of our money to get away on. The country is filling up too fast already.-Farmers Union Guide.

Impudence of Hoi Pol!oi.

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
Of Course the Story Teller Didn't
 Really Mean Just That

A gentleman recently returned from that quiet little Maryland resort, Ocean City, has tale to tell of con- ditions that are really sensational. And the worst of it was that he did not know they were sensational at all. He was out calling the other evening, and the conversation started with the shirtwaist man, who, the returned wanderer said, was to be found in great quantities at the summer resort. Then he told about the habit every body down there had contracted of going without hats. This is the way he told it to an interested company:
 "You see everybody dcwn there going about just the same. The men never we.- coats; they go about in just their shirts and trousers, and the Woment are just like them"
