SOUNDS LIKE ROT.
1charles City Press.l


DR.. Sumner secretary of the state
board of health. has sent out sensa-
tional report that 33 per cent Of the
babies of Iowa under / year old have
died since the hot weather set in from
cholera infantum, infantile paralysis,
poor milk and improper care. This is
close to one-third Of the babies Of Iowa,
and when one stops to reflect upon this
extraordinary statement it can not fail
to convince the public that the doctor
is dealing in hot air. One-thtrd OF the
babies of Iowa! There has been no
unusual number of death in Charles
City, nor have there been unusual
numbers reported from neighboring
towns or the cities of the state. Des
Moines only reports thirty-ene deaths
Of infants during the month Of July
in a city OF 100000 population. which
we presume Is nothing extraordinary
for that city during the summer
months. The sensa tional report sounds
like 1t was intended to scare and fright
en- the people of Iowa, and while par
ents can not be too careful with their
children, there is no justification for
such extravagant reports when there
can be no truth in them. DR.. Sumner
should give a bill of particulars.

PREPARATION OF ROLLED HAM
Method of Putting Up DeIicacy That
Is Favorite With Almost
Every One.

One ham, paste of -four and -ater,
Drowned crumbs. Wipe the ham, and
soak it in cold water overnight, then
dry It well. Turn it over and with a
sharp-pointed knife make an incision
through the shank bone and by dint of
cutting and scraping turn the flesh
right back from the bone, no matter
where the bone is. Keep the knife
as close to the bone as possible SO as
not to cash the meat in an unsightly
manner.
When all the bone is out, roll up the
ham from side to side, making it look
as much like it was at first as pos
sible, only narrower. Tie it firmly in
shape with tape. Wrap it in thickly
creased paper, then cover with stiff
paste made of -four and water. Put
the ham on baking tin in a hot oven
and bake it for three and half hours.
Have one heaping tablespoonful Of
dripping in the tin with which to
haste the ham frequently.
When done take off the paste and
paper, cut off a piece of the shank
bone and push 1t into the knuckle end
to represent the leg bone. Pull off
the skin carefully, sprinkle some nice
ly Drowned crumbs over and pin a
frill around the bone. To ascertain
how long a ham should be cooked,
weigh it and allow half an hour for
eac-l pound it weighs

Not In Our Own Riohteousne,

NCt Ut 0uT O"H nlSHISOOoHcSSs
James says: 'Whosoever shall keep
the whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty of all" God has put
upon every commandment the sanction
Of his word the reflection Of his
glory. In every commandment he has
expressed the whole majesty Of his
law. Every commandment is alike
earnestly meant. In every part as in
the whole Gods law is his irreversible
ordination. The sin that transgresses
one portion reveals the spirit Of .trea-
son against ALL Consciously or unccn-
sciously it embodies the spirit of dis
loyalty to the whole. In that sense
he who offends in one point is guilty
of all.
Inasmuch as there has been upon
the earth only one life which was
spotlessly clean, perfectly pure, al
ways wholly in accord with the Fa-
theirs will, the rest of us will always
need to come into Gods presence, not
trusting in our own righteousness but
only in his manifold and great r1er-
cies, humbly praying him to have
mercy upon us and to forgive US all
that is past

The Joy Of Forgiveness.

There is no respect In which men
get closer to Jesus, or more complete
in their exemplificatfon of His life,
than in the enjoyment and manifesto
ton of the spirit of forgiveness, which
is the condition Of our own access to
the grace of pardon and peace. II we
forgive not, there is no forgiveness
for us. Forgive us our trespasses,"
Jesus taught US to pray, "as we for
give those who trespass against u.s."
That means much both ways. II we
withhold that boon from others, we
simply lock the door Of mercy against
ourselves; but in case we forgive fully
and affecuonately, then the gracious
arms and words of our heavenly Faith
er cover and comfort us as completely
as they did the prodigal. A fatherly
embrace, kiss, ring, robe, and
shoes for our sore and weary feet are
bound to follow!

Fried Corn.

Take some tender green corn-a
dozen ears will not be too many for
a family or four or five-scrape care
fully from the cob. Let the corn be
cut through the center of the kernel,
so that all the pulp and juices may be
extracted without the removal of the
bulls. Over the corn a very little
-four should be sifted, with salt and
pepper to taste. In the meantime
let some slices of fat bacon be placed
over the fire in a frying pan, to re-
main until all the grease has been ex-
racted. When this has been done
the meat should be removed and the
corn put into the pan to fry in the
bacon fat until it has become delicious
ly brown and tender, but it must be
stirred almost constantly during the

cook If not it will burn

HINTS FOR BAKERS OF CAKE
Thing Always to Be Remembered Is
Never to Mix Sweet and
Sour Milk.

The woman who bakes cake should
heed these little hints:
In recipes in which milk is used as
one ingredient never mix sweet and
sour together. as that has a tendency
to make the cake heavy.
Always sift the flour, not merely be-
cause there may be dirt in it, but be-
cause packing Injuries its lightness
and sitting restores it and makes
bread and cake lighter.
Before beginning to mix cake it is
better to collect all the ingredients
which enter into it, otherwise one or
more of them may be omitted and
thus spoil the cake.
All cakes without yeast should have
the flour mixed in quickly just as it
goes into the oven.
An oven to bake we'll must have
regular heat throughout, but particu-
larry a good heat at the bottom, with
out which a cake will not rise in bak-
ing as in making.

The new postal savings bank sys-
tenn will soon be in partial opera
ton at least. The government has on
hand 100000 of the stamps which
can be sold at ten cents each, with
the cards to which they are to be at
tacsed. The cards also cost ten cents
each, so when a card has nine stamps
affixed the whole may be turned in
to represent deposit of one dollar.
Such an arrangement encourages
small savings, the aggregate Of which
may become very large.

The Faith That Moves.
How quickly the fire that burns

critical, or flattering or soothing.
The word Is living, and active, and
sharper than any two-edged sword,
and piercing even to the dividing OF
soul and spirit, Of both joints and
marrow. AS Mr.. Chadwick, the over
turner and uplifter Of Leeds, says,
can evangelistic movement implies
an evangelistic faith. A theology
that is not missionary is of no use in
a world like ours. The frozen abb
stractions of metaphysics are as pow
erless to save as the dead creeds Of
tradition The speculations of theo-
logians must be tested by their pow
ers to heal and save. Anything
less than Deity is powerless to save
men from sin. II Jesus be not God
he may be a great philopher, superb
idealist, an unriva1ed guide to the new
order of life, but he Is useless as
Savior. Let the new theologies prove
themselves in missionary campaigns
among the lost Missions have no use
for a Christ that cannot save to the
uttermost all who come unto him.
For the same reason we hold to the
complete and final authority of the
Scriptures We cannot go to the per-
fishing with the perhaps of balanced
probabilities. We need the certainty
of Thus saith the Lord" Hence
may come the agony, the bloody
sweat, the cross; but, as God Is God,
there come also the resurrection. the
ascension, the Pentecost. Absolute
fidelity to God on the part of pastors
is the condition and guaranty Of sue
