To FreShen Bread.

When a large quantity of
home made bread has been baked
at one time, some of it, if kept
long, is sure to become hard and
unappetizing. This can be made
as good as new by very sim pie
method. Dip the loaf in cold
water, Put it in a pan in the
oven, and bake until it is heated
through. After it has been taken
out, wrap it in a damp cloth,
and when cold it will be quite
as good as when first baked.
If hot bread is desired for
breakfast, the above method may
be used for reheating. Bread,
mullins and rolls reheated in this
way are just as appetizing and
are said to be more healthful
than freshly baked hot breads.
Certainly less time and trouble
are necessary to serve hot bread
by this method than to mix and
bake it fresh. Farm and Fire

tFrom the Greenwood Journal
The Lancaster News of last
week, gives a we'll deserved re-
buke to an editor who being un-
able to cope with his contempor-
ary called him a Yankee. We
read the editorial to which The
News refers and it made a decid-
edly bad impression on us. We
always pity the man who resorts
to such methods. 1t betrays
weakness and indicates that one
destitute of those higher qualities
which are the marks of the true
gentleman. The way to treat
such people is to give them a
wide berth and they will soon
run their course.
The calling of names is poor
business at best and it always
reacts with tremendous effect
upon the one who does it. There
are some people with whom a
gentleman can never discuss
anything. The only thing to do
is to let them severely alone.

The kind of tile to be used
depends on local conditions.
Concrete tile if properly made
are equally as good as clay tile.
Which kind to use is entirely
local question of dollars and
cents. If concrete tile can be
made cheaply than clay tile can
be had, use concrete if not, use
clay tile.
One great advantage of the
concrete tile is that they can be
easily made by the local users at
or near the place where they
are to be placed, so that the
freight charges arc dispensed
with as we'll as the large break
age losses due to handling. Plac-

care should be taken to see that
a good grade of Portland cement
Is selected, and that the drains
are properly constructed. The
impression, which prevails to
some extent, that tile disin te-

a bulletin is now in course of
preparation by the United States
Office of Public Roads telling
how to make concrete drains.
This bulletin will treat the sub
lect fully, explaining carefully
every point that may arise in
making drain pipes and cul

Importance of Drainage.
Kidding Roads of Under
ground Water Subject of
Thoughtful Paper Sent
Out by the United States
Office Of Public Roads.

"ltn an average OF II 900
tons of water falling in the form
of rain on each mile of public
road IN the United States an.
nually, it is scarcely to be mar
yelled at that the ten command
ments of the road builder can be
summed up succinctly in the
word drainage"
The saying has truth for a
basis, as good drainage is the
primary requisite for all roads.
Even in sand roads this holds
true, for there "good drainage"
means such as will safely remove
the storm water without erosion
or outlying and still retain the
surface moisture.
10 secure good drainage one
must take into consideration
both the surface water and the
underground water. The sur
face water must be removed
quickly and completely and with
out subJecting the road to excess
sive scour or erosion. For this
reason, the center of the road
should be raised and the slope
towards the side bitches should
be from to / inch to each foot
distance, or so that the water
will run freely to the side bitches
and not flow down the road or
remain in puddles on the road
way. The side bitches should
be of ample size to care for
the severest storms with a fall of
not less than 6 inches to each 100
feet. Frequent and ample cross
drains should be constructed and
every opportunity taken to get
the water away from the road as
quickly as possible. Any road
along which you see water stand
ing in the side bitches or on
which puddles of water have col
lected or which has been badly
quilted and eroded by the rains
has poor drainage and is in need
of immediate attention. In fact
earth roads nearly always re
quire little attention after each
rain. The split-log drag is es-
sentially a tool to maintain good
drainage on our earth roads, and
should be used after each rain.
On a heavy clay or gumbo soil
the drag when properly used
tends to puddle the road surface,
keep it free from ruts, dense,
smooth and hard, thus securing
the best surface drainage posi-,
BILE.
But in many places the under
ground water is too near the
surface and must be removed be-
fore a good road will be possible
This means that some form of
sub. drainage must be resorted
to, usually tile drains, of clay or
concrete. Water from whatever
source must be gotten rid of eff
fectively, for water plus clay or
gum5o invariably equals mud
when mixed in spring and sum-
mer. Water becomes ice in
winter and as water in freezing
expands one-eighth its volume,
the road heaves out of shape
and when the ice melts the road
disappears beneath the rising
tide of mud constantly fed by
rains, melting SHOWS and under
ground springs.
In seepy and boggy places
the sub-drainage in order to be
fully effective should lower the
water level to not less than three
feet below the road surface. If
tiles are used they should be
carefully laid, true to grade.

ATTORNEY GENERAL 6YERs' SEN
sATIoNAL DECISION.
PENALTIES ONLY SUSPENDED.
But Business Was Not Made Lawful
Therefore Corporations Cannot :
Engage in Saloon Business
In Iowa.

Des Moines, Ia, April 2S.-Attorney
General H. W. Byers, reiterating his
decision that corporations may not en-
gage in the selling of liquor in Iowa,
has held that there is nothing to war
rant the claim that the business OF
buying and selling intoxicating liquor
as beverage in this state is law
full business.
This double decision was rendered
to the executive council yesterday in
connection with the application of
corporation for the right to issue stock
in pursuance to its plan to engage in
the liquor business at Sioux City.
The Cooperative company of Sioux
City applied for the authority to issue
stock, this application being necessary
under the Peterson act, which as been
bitterly assailed but which was en-
acted for the purpose of preventing
corporations from selling watered
stock in this state. ''.''
Digest of the Law.
Attorney General Byers has called
the attention of the council in view of
its reference of the application of the
Sioux City company to him, to sec:
ton 1907 OF the code which provides
than ANY number of persons may be-
come Incorporated for the transaction
of any lawful business"
He further cites section 1882, which
makes it unlawful for any person, ex.
cept permit holder, by himself clerk,
servant, employee or agent to sell or
keep for sale in this state alconol, ale,
wine, beer, spurious, vinous and malt
liquor"
He also calls attention to section
2447, which provides that nothing in
the chapter so far as 1t relates TO
The mulct tax shall be in any way con
strued to mean that the business OF
he sale of intoxicating liquors is any
way legalized." When, however, GER
tain conditions are complied with no

Chicago, April 20.
CATTLE-Receipts of cattle today
were estimated at 30,OvJ, which were
about 10000 more than the trade look
ed for on last Saturday. With so lib
eral a run, 1t was much more than the
market could stand and as q result,
trade ruled very dull and prices were
generally loo and 15c lower on the
bulk of the steers. There seemed to
be fair clearance made at the decline
however, we are not expecting q very
good cattle market for the balance OF
this week. The demand for butcher
cattle seemed to be much better than
for steers and prices on this class
were made on about a steady basis
with last weeks close. AS we advised
you in our last letter, we believe ii
is well to market those cattle very
sparingly, as with very liberal runs IL
is bound to make prices lower.
HOGS.-Rsceipts today wer~ esti'
mated at $4,000, which were more than
the trade had figured on. Market
ruled fully 10c lower, however, at the
decline, was active, with the close
strong and hogs well bought up. To
days market will average fully Doc
per cwt lower than a week ago, which
is certainly a pretty heavy slump in
week. Shipping orders have been
good right along and were good today
but packers seemed to feel Indifferent

fresh meats is limited. Extreme tor

wrecking Amite and dozens OF small
towns in Louisiana, Mississippi ana
Alabama. During the storm fully $50
people were killed, and 1000 seriously
injured, while over. $500 homes and
business buildings were demolished.
The property loss amounted into the
millions of dollars. The letter reads

Dear Sadie and Prank will write
you a few lines to let you know how
we all are | expect you have seen

place yesterday. The storm came up
about noon Edison (Mr. BurnhamD
had gone down to the postoffice to re-
lieve George for dinner The girl
clerk had gone to McComb, MISS. for
the day and that is why Edison was
at the postoffice at that time. The
lpostoffice was completely wrecked
Edison was pinned under the bricks
and planks and hau to be sawed out
he was at the door trying to hold it
shut and that saved his life, as the

ing on him. His ankle is hurt and his
breast and side are bruised, hut he
rested we'll last night. This morning
he got up before breakfast and was
taken sick and tainted, but is feeling
well now. No bones are broken.
George was here at dinner--lucky for
us-as he got the windows closed and
we had no damage done to the house,
only one window blown in. The
water tanks fell with pump and en-
lgine and Just escaped the house. The
town is almost a total wreck end the
trees that made the town so beautiful
are nearly all down. George was up
Iall night in command OF the military
company and the town is under mar
tial rule. What he is doing about the
Iofice ! don't know, as he had no place
when he left this morning Every
thing is buried under bricks This
