teams are grimly battling for first
place in the American League and
Pittsburg has not clinched the flag in
the National League by any means.
The Chicago Cubs, thrice champions
of the National and twice champions
Of the world. are making game fight

Pittsburg has thirty eight more
games to play-twenty-two at home

WONDERFUL DOG EXPLORER.
Said to Have Covered 10000 Miles in
Less Than Three Years

A wonderful record as traveller has
fox terrier which accompanied DR.. NJ A.
Stein, the archaeological explorer,
throughout his great journey of 10000
miles, undertaken ON behalf of The In
dian government, through Central Asia
into China and back, says the London
Daily mail.
Through the aggregate of the marches
amounted roughly to 10000 miles in two
years and eight months, the actual dis
tance covered by Dash, taking into ac-
count his canine habits of progression,
may he estimated at well over 10000
miles. Dash made that journey on foot
practically the whole way, except when
he went pony back for short distances
at times of great heat When in the
Taklamakan desert Dash, like the rest
of the party had his water allowance
strictly limited. 1t came from the supply
carried on camels in the form of Ice.
! Dash went over mountain passes. as
high as 5000 feet above sea level.
Throughout the journey the dog kept well
and LIS mend Vas made up OF scraps
from the camp larder. Each night he
slept in Dr. STEMS tent. and on occa-
sions proved himself very useful watch
dog. On the high Thibetan uplands his
chief recreation was choosing wild dom
keys, yaks and the like. He managed
Ito kill several hares, and bring them III
Ito supplement the store of food.
! Upon many journeys along the Indian
northwest frontier Dash has also been
the comrade of his master, and he has
probably seen far more of the world than
most people. He has true British terrier
blood in his veins, although India was
his birthplace. The dog is now in quar-
antne after having come from India.

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means SO much
to me that for the sake of other suffer
ing women / am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter" Mrs. CHAS. BARCLAY,
RID, Graniteville, vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and.
as Mrs. Barclay says, it Is worth noun
tains of gold D to suffering women.

A Boston woman who is fond
mother writes an amusing article
about her experience feeding her boys.
Among other things she says:
Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob,
Jack and Dick, aged 6, and 2 years
respectively, are three of our reasons
for using and recommending the food,
Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters have
been fed on Grape-Nuts since infancy,
and often between meals when other
children would have been given can
dy.
81 gave a package of Grape-Nuts to
a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was
a weakened little thing, i'll half the
time. The little tot ate the Grape
Nuts and cream greedily and the
mother continued the good work and
it was not long before truly wonder
full change manifested itself in the
child's face and body. The results
were remarkable, even for Grape
Nuts.
Both husband and / use Grape-Nuts
every day and keep strong and well
and have three of the finest, healthiest
boys you can find in days march
Many mothers instead of destroying
the children's stomachs with candy
and cake give the youngsters hand
full of Grape-Nuts when they are beg
ging for something in the way of
sweets The result is soon shown in
greatly increased health, strength and
mental activity.

Notified Butter.

Streaky or mottled butter may be
caused by the salt, or 1t may be due
to the working Of the butter The
salt Is SO evenly diffused in the finest
kind of butter that, as is shown by
microscope, every grain is surrounded
by a film Of clear and transparent
brine, which points out the necessity
of avoiding the overworking of the
butter before the salt is added. In
the first working every particle OF
milk should be gotten rid Of but
enough clear water should be left to
dissolve every grain of salt in twelve
hours before the next working If
this is done there will be but little
danger of streakiness in the butter
but to get the best results the salt
should be very finely ground.

Apple Tory.

Peel some fine cooking apples and
simmer them very gently till tender
in little water with a strip of lemon
peel, couple of cloves and little
sugar. Remove them and set them
aside to cool. Cut some small rounds
of sponge cake and moisten them with
a few drops OF wine Arrange In a
dish and place an apple on each;
sprinkle chopped pistachio nut on the
cake around the apples, each of which
must be covered with a little liquid
red jelly of the consistency requisite
for coating the fruit. Set in cold
place until wanted, place spoonful
of whipped cream on each apple and
serve.

TO PUSH FLOUR CASES.
Sellers of the Bleached Product to Be
Prosecuted

Prosecuted.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
not weakened on his stand against
bleached -four, and preparations are be-
ing made to try several cases of this sort
as soon as the department of justice
can get ready for them.
The bleached flour case is one of the
big cases of the department, and caused
long hearing in Washington last year.
1t was shown then that bleaching -four
was common practice, and that it was
accomplished by the use of nitric acid
and special machinery and chemicals
that constituted in the mind of Secretary
Wilson a menace to public health.
Many of the bakers who testified at
the hearing said that it was impossible
to buy unbleached flour on the market,
and that personally they would be glad
if the practice were done away with.
The secretary of agriculture issued an
order that no more bleached -four was to
be admitted to interstate traffic after
June of this year. That gave the man
ufacturers six months to get rid of their
stocks.
There is great deal of money in
yOlved in the business, both among the
millers and the manufacturers of the
bleaching machinery. An effort was
made to stop the enforcement of the sec
retary's order by mandamus proceedings,
but the court refused to grant the order,
and cases will now be made against the
shippers of -four in interstate commerce.

Sleepy Grass of New Mexico.

While making trip through the
southwestern part of New Mexico Her
bert W. Wolcott of Alamogordo, n. NJ,
found a grass from which he believes a
narcotic may be extracted which will
take the place of those now known to
medicine.
1.-The grass is known as sleepy grass
to the natives of New Mexico near the
Apache reservation" said Mr.. WOlcOtt.
Cattle and horses will eat it the first
time they see it. 1t makes them fall to
the ground in their tracks and lie in a
state of coma for two days. When they
wake up they have no i'll effects from
the opiate But they will never eat it
again; in fact they will run away if it is
offered to them.
This sleepy grass is not to be con-
fused with the loco weed. The grass is
a real grass, not unlike the Kentucky
blue grass in appearance. The loco weed
is a plant and bears a flower. Horses
and cattle become loco fends and are
worthless after testing the deadly stuff. y

Horse That Was as Years Old.

9 months was attained by horse
owned by Col. Heath which has just
died at the coloners farm at Apollo bay,
Victoria.
Col. Heath states that there can be
no possible doubt as to the animals age,
as he still has the diary containing the
entry showing when it was foaled. 1t IS
in all probability the greatest record
known. The horse was ridden by the
colonel as charger in its youth and sew
eral times carried him from Melbourne
to Shepperton-16 miles-in two days.
1t was sired by a famous racehorse
named King Alfred, its mother being an
Australian Arab bred mare.-Tit-B Bits.

Tarragon vinegar Is an essential

The best fluid to use In washing
muslin dresses OF delicate color Is
rice water.
Silver may be cleaned and brighten
ed by letting 1t stand half an hour in
sour milk.
One housekeeper advises the use OF
half lemon for removing match
marks from paint.
To clean steel use emery powder and
oil mixed into a paste. Polish with
a clean buster.
If your paint has been marred by
careless scratching of matches, try
rubbing 1t with the finest sandpaper
1t Is said that grass stains will come
out If the spots are rubbed with lit
tie fresh lard while before they are

A child's broom, purchasable for a
small amount at any department store,
is an excellent article for cleaning be-
hind the radiators.
Cookies and little cakes placed in an
earthen jar with few pieces of cut
orange or lemon will be found to be
delicately favored when eaten.
Glass tumblers, when being filed
with hot water, should be stood on a
tray or table. They are thus far less
likely to crack than II held in the
hand.
Do not pour scalding water into yes
sells which have held milk. 1t cooks
the milk on the sides of the vessel
making it more difficult to clean.
Rinse first with cold water. :
Omelets are more tender If the eggs
are thinned with hot water instead OF
milk. Before folding the plain omelet,
spread it, for change, with green
pepper minced fine The pepper does
not need previous cooking.
Knife-cleaning may be made easier
by dipping piece Of raw potato in
the securing material, rubbing with
that instead of cloth. The juice OF
the potato is not only good cleaner
in itself, but it keeps the securing
paste moist.
When baking a cake, if you have
forgotten the fiavoring, put few drops
on the layer, cover it with a pan and
place in the oven. 1t will penetrate
the cake and the flavor will be evenly
distributed through the same as II
baked in 1t.
If the ice man fails to arrive and
you fear the milk will sour, wrap the
bottles in a wet towel and place where
draught will blow over them all
night-an open window is the best
place-and you will find the milk
sweet aud cool the next morning.

Intensive Dairy Farming.


The question is often asked how
many COWS a certain number OF acres
will support. BY the question is
meant that the entire energy of the
farm Is to be devoted to raising food
for the dairy cow A farm in a good
state of fertility can be easily arrang-
ed so that one could keep cow
to every two acres if the land is all
good, rich, tillable land. And one
would be able to raise both the forage
or bulky part Of the ration, and the
grain ration, too 1t could be done
in a few years time with the proper
handling Of the herd on the farm.
Three crops upon the farm will do
it-first, corn; second, clover hay, and,
third, peas and oats. OF course, the
clover sod would be plowed down for
corn and then the corn ground be put
into peas and oats the following sea-
son. With these three foods one can
make a balanced ration for the dairy
COW without purchasing any other out
side food, either concentrated or
bulky.
The statement has often been made
that an acre of good land will sup
port cow the year around. One
dairyman made the remark that he
could keep two cows on an acre, but
practically the man who keeps one
COW on two acres is doing very good
business IL he gets fair prices for the
product. 1t is a fact that the demand
for milk, butter and cheese Is increas-
ing faster than cows and the prices
are continually advancing There is
no better business than dairying.-

Knot the cord on either side of the
sticks, then throw the same across
the cows neck (having regulated the
knots and sticks to suit the small of
the neck and also the shoulder), and
the end of the cords around the first
knot. The accompanying illustration
shows the result. This device pre-
vents the COW from reaching her
tanks.
