Battle Creek Specialist
Offers Good Suggestion to
Dyspeptics.

1t is seldom that a great spec
ialist will give away the secrets
of his profession, but occasion
ally we find one who is more
liberal
A noted specialist on stomach
disorders, dyspepsia and appen-
dicitis says: Il always prescribe
the following with the greatest
success, for indigestion, acute or
chronic; dyspepsia, sour stom-
ach. distress after eating. such
as heart palpitation, shortness
of breath. constipation. depres-
sion, headache and biliOuSneSS.
These simple but powerfully
blended ingredients can usually
be obtained at any leading
drugstore, or the druggist can
obtain them from wholesale
firms who supply the profession
generally with rare extracts and
essences. Mix in a bottle tw"
ounces syrup of Ginger. one
ounce Comp. essence of CardiOl
and two ounces essence Of Pep
sin. Shake well and take one or
two teaSpoonfuls after each
meal, or before, to excite the
appetite, if necessary. For COS
tivencss, a dose at night will do
much good. Let children who
have stomaChache take this
freely. Adults can find nothing
that will do so much permanent
good and at the same time give
prompt relief from distress"

Pasture for Hogs.

Experiments show that as much pork
can be made from one acre of good
pasture as from one ten of shorts or
corn. The Minnesota experiment sta
ton says that clover makes the best
hog pasture in that State but Prof
Waters of Missouri says that it is not
safe or even desirable to rely upon
a 81 crop. excepting alfalfa where
1t is an assured success, to furnish pas
ture Nor hogs throughout the season.
He recommends a succession of pas
lures frOm the beginning Of the season
until hogs are ready for market,
making the feed richer and more con-
centrated toward the close Of the sea-
son as we approach the finishing or
fattening period For this purpose he
recommends red clover or alfalfa, COW
peas and soy beans
1t will pay the farmer who is rails
ing hogs to provide good pasture,
even if he is feeding them other feeds,
fol- clOvers, COW peas and soy beans
are rich in protein and make a good
adjunct to any ration. The cheapest
gains that can be made in hog rails
ing are where the hogs are fed skim
milk and allowed to run on a good
pasture of either clover or alfalfa.
Where possible to do so a pasture Is
to be preferred TO the dry lot for feed
ing hogs, not only in the interest Of
cheapened gains but also for the bet
ter health Of the animals.

Ffreless Stoves,

Fireless or self-cooking stoves. which
have been so popular in Germany for a
number of years, have been recently
much improved. The early types were
simply boxes made with double walls
so as to retain the heat, and food to
be boiled or stewed was first thorough
ly heated and then inclosed in the box
for a sufficient time to cook by the re-
tanned heat.
The latest apparatus is said TO be heat
ed by a stone. This Is made sufficient
ly hot in an oven or over any fire. then
placed in the cooker with the steak or
roast. and the box is sealed up and left
for an hour or so until the food is thor
oughly cooked and hot. With double
boxes, boiling. frying and roasting may
all proceed at once without care.

DR.. Hilprecht's Final Reply.

In the form of book of $50 pages just
from the press Prof. Herman V. Hill
precht of the University of Pennsylva-
MIA replies to the charges made against
him in connection with the collections of
Nippur tablets now in the possession of
that university. The book rccounts the
evidence presented before the committee
of trustees resulting in his complete ex-
oneration by them, and explains TO his
own satisfaction the circumstances out of
which grew this famous scientific contro-
versy. The first charge was that of lit
erary dishonesty in having spoken of
three of the tablets as being found by
himself in 1900, whereas they were said
to have been purchased by the members
of an earlier expedition. IIilprecht now
says that his books under dispute were
not strictly scientific, and that numerous
notes were not wanted by his publishers.
Hence he had not added the note telling
where the tablets had been bought. An
other charge was that of having retained
property belonging to the university. This
arose from the fact that with his own
money he had made excavations at Fara
Independent of those conducted by the
university. Some of his finds he had
given to the university, but others he had
retained. The accusers also held that the
tablets were not of literary character
and were not properly called temple
library" Hilprecht repels this with tes-
timony of other scientists. In conclusion
he asserts that two men have been his an
tagonists, Rev. DIR. Peters and Prof. Nor
ris Jastrow, Jr. The animus of the for
mer Hilprecht attributes to the criticisms
of the Peters expeditions in the Dilprecht
books He accuses Jastrow of uuderhand-
ed and dishonest efforts to becloud the
public mind and poison it against the ac-
cused

Mayor Ezra S. Meals of Harrisburg.
Pa, has ordered the police department
to see that drunken men are helped to
their homes instead of being arrested, and
to compel the saloon proprietors to take
care of the men found drunk in or near
their saloons. Mayor Meals holds that
it is not right to send these men to the
lookup so long as they are not troubling
any one. OF course, the criminal DRINKS
will be dealt with sumnarily and the
habitual drunkards will be sent to Jail
to sober up, after which the mayor will
take them in hand personally and give
them chance to get hold of themselves.
He goes on the theory that drunkenness
is a disease. Whenever a man is taken
home the fact will be recorded for flu
ture reference.
