The New Fourth.

| sincerely believe that our ma
tiOnal birthday can be observed with
heartfelt, patriotic rejoicing and yet
without the slightest danger to life
or limb. without any nerve-racking
noise or display of hoodlumism, and
without any of the extravagant out
lay which has characterized our
former celebration. Flags can float,
national music be played and sung
in places now given over solely to
the deafening din of cannon fire
crackers, the Declaration of indie
pendence be read at all of our public
buildings, where inspiring addresses
may also be made, and street dis
plays, such as professions with floats,
beautiful as well as instructive, fur
nish delightful object lessons of the
greatest events in our history. Then,
at night, we may have illuminations,
both private and municipal, and dis
plays of fireworks in open places.
where the exhibitions can be con-
Quoted by experienced men, thus
avoiding all danger of the shocking
accidents which now sadden our
celebration.
Let us, on this day, forget the
noise of battle and the passions Of
international strife, and remember
only the wonderful spirit of sacri-
flee, and patriotism, and brother
hood which animated our Revolu-
tionary heroes. Let us, who know
what that day means, endeavOr to
make it both memorable and illumi-
mating to those who do not by open
ing the hearts of the children, of
the poor and ignorant, of the dis
tressed and disheartened alien within
our gates, to at least a partial sig
nificance of what we honor in our
glorious festival.
Let us enter personally into the
work, giving tender endeavor as
we'll as means, to the task of making
the occasion the hapipest of all the
year to the ignorant and the wretch
ed. Let us give them day of liber-
ty in the country or in the parks,
where they will see our beautiful
flag floating everywhere about them,
and where their unframed ears will
become accustomed to the ringing
rhythm of our national melodies. Let
US give them mementoes of the
Fourth, such as flags and pictures of
our heroes and of those whom we
love as we'll as honor. There let
them listen to the story of the birth
of our Republic, and have it told
own tongues, so that all can feel how
great were those who made the coun-
try free, and how wonderful is the
boon of liberty now extended to the
oppressed of other countries.-June

Baked Hams.

1t is frequently asked why some
hams taste so much better than 9th
ers. This would not be the case if
they were baked, and not boiled I'M
til all the sweetness was extracted,
which is generally done in the ma
jority of cases where they are found
tasteless and discolored. OF course
a great deal depends upon the quail
ity of the ham. and none but the
best sugar cured should be selected.
Here is a good rule for their treat
ment:
Make stiff paste of -four and
water, with which completely cover
the ham. Then place it in a bake
pan containing a little water, with
which it must be occasionally basted.
1t will require about four or five
hours to bake ham of medium size
in moderate oven. The cook
must, of course, use her judgment
by testing it occasionally with a fork.
At the expiration of that time re-
move the ham, and the entire top
can be peeled off like a sheet of
leather, leaving only the fat ex-
posed, which must be well covered
with bread crumbs. Return to the
oven long enough to brown, then set
aside until cold before using, as it
is twice as easy to cut in tempting
thin slices. besides lasting as long
again. Bear in mind one thing
never cut ham against the grain; al
ways begin in the center, and you
will do we'll.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about
500 grains of impure matter daily.
when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and
symptoms pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin.
rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders
of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart. debility, drow-
siness, dropsy, deposits in the urine,
etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.

This is a new and wonderful
powder. While it is neither a
black nor a nitro powder, nor
mixture of the two, it has the best
qualities Of both without their
faults. 1t has the high velocity
of nitro powder with the low
breech pressure of black. 1t is
just as safe as black powder and
may be used in the same way,
bulk for bulk, though the same
results may be obtained with less
charge. 1t is free from smoke
and very clean, permitting of hun
dreds of shots being fired without
cleaning and without injury to the
gun or loss of accuracy. 1t will
not deteriorate nor is it affected
by climatic influences. as are most
of the nitro powders. While its
superiority as shot gun powder
is recognized by all, as rifle
powder it is far ahead of anything
yet discovered. Since 1897, the
year it first came into COMPETE
ton, it has won the chief prizes in
the National and international
shoots and in many military shoots
where it has been tried, making
records which have been a marvel
to marksmen the world over. It's
long range, regularity and accur-
acy are simply phenomenal.
Many experts prefer it to any
nitro powder. while the beauty of
it is, it costs so much less and re-

HAZEL DREWS
SLAYER ESCAPED
IN AUTOMOBILE
Wealthy Merchant Who Camped
Near Pond Where Body Was
Found Is Suspected.

TROY, N. Y, July pa wealthy
business man of one of New York's
largest cities is suspected of the murder
of Hazel Drew. Detectives are tracing
his movements preceding Inc subse-
quent to the time the body of the girl
was found.
The suspect is one of a number Of
men who maintain a summer camp
near the pond where the body was dis
covered.
Complaints have been made by girls
concerning treatment they were sub
Jected to after being invited to the
camp. One young oma said she was
lured there because tempted by the
offer of an auto ride and a feast.
A woman living near this rendezvous
declares she heard a girls creams at
about the time Hazel, according to the
detectives, was put to death. This wit
ness says:
early in May two young women
came up to visit the camp. One came
over shortly afterward to buy butter
of me. This girl said her aunt. who
was with her at the camp, was Ill.
Afterward she came again, and begged
me to let her take our team, as she
said she had an engagement to spend
Decoration Day with friends n after
ward to go to Lake George"
While 1t may be only a coincidence
Hazel spent Decoration Day with Car
rie Weaver in New York, and told her
family of an intended Lake George
trip.
ION the night of July T." says the
woman, after 1 had gone to bed, ]
heard a girls screams coming from the
camp, which is near our house. I could
not get to sleep, and within an hour
afterward I heard an automobile being
driven rapidly away from the CAM
toward Troy"
