Sausage. only fresh pork. As
soon as II Is cold separate the lean from
the fat using three pounds of lean and
one pound of fat. Sausage is made of
shoulder, neck and lean trimmings
from the hams. If the shoulders or
TANKS are too fat separate aud weigh
the lean and fat three to one pound.
Chop the parts first and spread 1t out
to be seasoned. The grinder minces
the meat finely. The seasoning for
fonr pounds of sausage should be one
ounce of fine salt, one-half ounce of
ground black pepper, one-half ounce of
pure leaf sage, One-half a teaspoonful
OF ground cayenne pepper. Stone jars
that will hold three to i've gallons can
he filed with the sausage meat and
0ne-half an inch of melted lard poured
over the meat to exclude the air. Sau-
sage can be put up in narrow muslin
bags that will be three inches in diane
ter and about twenty inches long.
The muslin bags should he coated with
hot lard to exclude the air and flies
and II hung where smoke can he used
will guarantee sound keeping. If u
beef is killed at the same time sausage
can be made from a mixture of pork
and beef. In this combination there
should be two pounds of lean pork, one
pound of fat pork and one pound Of
lean beef. Weigh, chop, season and
peck in jars.

We get sick because We are too lazy

Their name is literally legion. for

all colds are mild infections. which run
their course until the body has time
to produce an anti-toxin or anti-body
to stop their further progress. As
this process is reasonably healthy
individuals is usually carried out in
from four to six days. anything which
happens to be given In that time
stands fair chance Of getting a rep
utation as a cure.
The only sure cure for colds and
coughs is to avoid the infections and
the foul air Of ill-ventilated rooms and
building in which they breed; to
keep the body tuned up to fighting

INSANITY CAUSED BY ALCOHOL
10 the Direct Source In the General
Population In ~ to IS per
Cent. Of Cases.

Alcohol Is q direct cause OF insan-
ity in the general population In about
IL per cent to Is per cent. Of cases
about 20 per cent. OF men and ten
per cent. of women. II Is a direct
cause Of the serious types Of insanity
(the non-alcoholic) in about two per
cent. of cases. says DR.. Charles l.
Dana, New York physician.
II Is an important associative cause
in about one-third of the cases Of
paresis, figures varying In different
countries.
Alcoholism in parents is present in
about five per cent. of the insanities
in this region. II is larger factor
In countries where poverty and poorer
economic conditions prevail.
In both my private and hospital sta
tistics, alcoholism In parents is pres.
ent in about five per cent. Of cases of
idiocy and epilepsy. Much higher
figures are given by French Observers
The consumption OF alcohol in DIFF
ferent countries ranges from about
eight to IS litres Of alcohol per capita
per year.
The amount Of insanity In DIFF
ferent countries does not vary with
this per capita amount. It is less In
Ita'y than In the United Kingdom.
though the per capita amount of al
cohol drunk is about two iitres more
in the former country. Alcoholism is
rare among Jews, while insanity is
two to four times more prevalent AL
coholism is one.half to one-third less
frequent in women, but insanity Is as
frequent as In men. In Judea and
Egypt alcoholic insanity is rare, but
insanity from hashisch makes up
about 30 per cent. of cases. There is
more insanity In Mohammedan than
in Russian soldiers.
There is another factor than that OF
alcohol which causes alcoholic insani-
ties and that is a homeopathic consti-
tuition which Graves alcohol and can.
not exercise control over its use
Hence. as long as our social condi
tions breed this constitution we have
not entirely solved the problem.
Nevertheless. the most important
early effort to make Is towar: reduc
Ing the amount of alcohol used and
stopping its present steady increase
Every nation has about a mean drink
ing capacity (8 to IL liters of alcohol
yearly per capital. II 1t gets beyond
this there rapidly ensues a great in.
crease Of insanity as well as crime.
All nations seem to be getting above
their average (Statistics up to 1900
and 1906)
Alcohol, both as a direct and indi
rect cause Of insanity. works espe
cially on the young and in the earlier
half OF life, when habits are formed
and most children are bred.
An active educational propaganda
against the use of alcohol by persons
under 30 would do more good than at
tempts to stampede at once the bev-
erage from society. Almost all drunk
enness and dipsomania develop before
80.
Beer Is no safer beverage than
whisky. and 1t seems probable that
light. pure wines are the safest form
Of drink. In France and Italy, as well
as here. the inebriate uses always not
only wine, but gin. whisky. brandy,
absinthe. etc.

Alfalfa forms the basis Of agriculture
throughout our western states and Its
unique adaptation to semi-arid condi-
tions makes IL an Invaluable asset.
Owing to It's power to survive drouth,
to exist on scanty moisture, its root
system enables 1t TO reach . deep-lying
supply Of soil fertility beyond the ken
Of common plant roots, but which will
in turn become available to any crop
II the proper rotation with alfalfa Is es-
tablished. The power Of alfalfa to re-
store WORKOUT lands and to improve
soil deficient in humus and nitrogen Is
apparent to the most casual observer
who will compare the crOpe grown OH
alfalfa sod with those on ordinary soil
or even where barnyard manure has
been heavily applied. Realizing these
facts, 1t is evident that alfalfa should
b- more extensively grown IN our crop
rotations to maintain and restore the
soil that Is being depleted by the large
crops Of sugar beets, spuds and other
products. Many acres Of alfalfa hay
are sacrificed each year for the more
renumerative returns from beets, can
taloups or potatoes and as a result al
falfa hay is becoming scarce and the
price is advancing to point that will
tend to dishearten the stock feeders.
The high prices realized for hay have
not encouraged saving the alfalfa for
seed and consequently the price Of
good alfalfa seed IL about equal to the
cost when 1t was first introduced.

In the south sweet clover is priced as
an early pasture for sheep. Through
out the eastern states II IL regarded az
a weed. In some sections Of the west
1t is used as pasture for pigs. Its d.
gestibility as II sheep feed has been in-
vestigated. At this altitude under the
peculiar conditions 1t is believed by a
few that there is future for 1t since II
grows so well. 1t IL an alkali-resisting
plant and although 1t is not palstable
to stock In green condition yet after II
Is cured, especially when salt has been
added, the stock relish 1t and thrive
well upon 1t. 1t is very nutritious,
readily digestible and contains an ex.
ceedingly high percentage Of crude pro
tein. 1t Is more nutritious when cut
at the proper period than many other
hays. A lot of ten lambs fed on sweet
clover hay, corn and oil meal made All
average gain Of 3O.7 pounds in fourteen
weeks, while ten lambs fed on alfalfa
hay and corn made 24.4 pounds gain.
The former ate One-sixth more hay,
somewhat more corn, and small
amount Of oil meal. The larger con-
sumption of sweet clover hay was due
to the fact that 1t va. cut late and was
very coarse and stenin,y. The lambs
liked It, however, and showed a steady
appetite for 1t. There was not the
slightest difficulty in getting them to
eat II from the first.

themselves are not living, crystalliza-

and behavior between certain liquid

a SENSELESS CUSTOM.

The wires of our phone have been
used since Decoration Day until we
could smell the burning rubber used
in the insulation material, as it was
dissolved under the burning protests
of sick mothers, nervous women,
bed-ridden old people and hard work
ing men and women whose sleep was
disturbed by the firing Of the cannon
from Irving Cliff at the unnatural
hour of five o'clock on the morning
of Decoration Day. At this hour of
morning vitality in every human be-
ing is at its lowest ebb, and a shock
resulting from the firing of cannon
at this hour is unusually severe and
dangerous. Why should people be
disturbed at this unusually hour just
when tired nature is beginning to
absorb the benefits of a nights rest?
Why should workingmen who toll
so hard be disturbed on the morning
of holiday when the opportunity
for extra rest is given them? Old
Old soldiers, the people have been
very sollcitous for your welfare; why
not reciprocate; fire your cannon at
sunset or during memorial services.
We trust that if there must be a
salute on July 4th that this matter
be given consideration. TO the many
who have written us letters protest.

pressed in most OF the letters) we

Later-We have ascertained that the
firing of the cannon on Memorial
Day at 3 o'clock a. NJ. was in direct
violation of the orders of Command
er Henry Wilson of Capt. James
Ham Post. 1t appears that some
young men got possession of cam
non and powder and caused the
trouble. 1t will not occur again.

1t is something awful the way the
Senators and congressman of the
solid Democratic south, who a few
years ago, were rabid free traders,
are fighting for a protective tariff
that will protect their industries.
Congress is being held up, the peo-
pies money paying the bill, while
Senator Bailey, the idol of the De-
mocracy and the convicted satellite
of Standard Oil, is hobnobbing with
the Republican Senators in his eff
fort to protect the chivalrous south
from the boomerang of free trade.
In the meantime the leaders of the
old, moss back stage coach demo-
cracy of the north are hunting
around for some argument to keep
alive an interest in their dilapidated
ship of state which drifted on to the
breakers of Organism and now is
gradually going to pieces, and the
pieces being used to strengthen the
craft that Socialism is trying to
float.

treacherous and has very sharp teeth.
AS mink in this country increase
about five fold Mr.. Staten expects to
have something over 500 in his. cages

live female minks sell for a much
higher figure than their hide alone is
worth.

British WaEer-Power.

The growing industry OF extracting
aluminium has stimulated the search
for water-power in the British Isles
because the extraction of aluminium
is so expensive that only low-cost pow
er can be economically employed. In
this respect Scotland. with its noun
tains, is coming to the front. The
water-power plant at the falls of Foy-
ers, in Scotland, has hitherto been the
largest in Great Britain; but now a
still larger plant, at Kinlochleven,
utilizing the rainfall over tract Of
IS square miles, is about to be put
into operation for the production Of
aluminium. It's nine hydraulic tur-
bines, each Of 5000 brake horse-pow-
er, are the largest water-wheels in the
British Isles.

A Practical Example.

There is a certain naval officer OF
the United States who is very much
opposed to the use of profanity by the
officers under his command. Indeed.
he has been known severely to repri-
mand, in private, officers on his ships
heard to address their men in profane
terms.
The following story is told concern
ing this Admiral's command of a
squadron engaged in target manoeu-
vres in Magdalena Bay, Lower Cali
fornia. The commanding officer OBJ
served one day that the men Of his
ship, the flagship, seemed to lag be-
hind the crews of the other vessels of
the squadron, being the last to finish
the execution of command or to car
ry out manoeuvre. He mentioned
this fact to bis captain. Just as the
latter was about to reply, there came
floating over the water from the yes.
sci standing by the flagship volley
of oaths, the result of which was that
there was some pretty hustling on the
part of the men addressed.
Glancing at his superior officer with
smile, the captain replied

don't get enough encouragement like
that"

Polly of the Circus" was the at
traction and was given under the
energetic auspices of the Honesdale
Realty Company. The company
which filled the cast was a most ex-
eellent one and every part was exc
cuted with degree of ease and
precision that won the attention and
admiration of the appreciative audi
ence. Mr.. Darlington as the Pas
tor and Miss Wallace as Polly"
were very realistic in their respective
parts, and showed a high degree of
artistic skill in their acting. The
work of all in the cast was so well
done that the single expression most
excellent applies to all equally. The
proceeds of the entertainment which
zen W th' lot Ol lne realty COM

this small amount out of an eight or
nine hundred dollar house, seems tc
be out of proportion. If Honesdale
continues very long to pay 5000 in
order to keep $l93 of the amount
in town. it will soon paralyze the
arm Of the theatre goer, that dives
down into his pocket. The Homes.
