through cold, sometimes through
heat, sometimes wet; then hard
days toll, ten hours of bending over
fine garments for the prosperous,
then a painful tramp back "home'
again to another scant meal and
another nights weary sleep.
And so day after day the struggle
goes on to keep body and soul to-
gether, and the soul clean, on a pitt
SO a week. 1t dare not stop-not
even for sickness. 1t must 60 on.
And with it all there is an everlasting
hunger that is never satisfied and an
everlasting yearning for something
better that is never appeased.
The tragedy of such living is as
great as the tragedy of any dying.
Sometimes in the years to come men
will look back upon these present
days of ours, and marvel that we
ever believed that we dealt Justly and
uprightly with one another.

more than year ago mile OF
oiled road was built in independence"
say the Higginsville Jeffersonian.
'This road was scientifically con-
structed according to plan worked
out by the Standard Oil Company.
An oiled road, if well crowned and
free, from ruts, naturally sheds water,
and the oil so packs, hardens and
binds the earth that it does not cut up
badly ar wash into ruts. And the
oiled road is practically dustless. f.
w. Mollenkamp saw the Independence
road last week and says it is giving
splendid satisfaction. And that mile
of road cost only $3.50. If really good
roads can be built so cheap as that
there should not be a foot of bad road
left in Lafayette County in a year.
Every road district board in the
county should investigate oiled roads,"

hot TO pour over the fruit.

hot 70 pour over the fruit
Be sure to have the water cold, or
barely tepid when you set the cans in
the boiler, and bring to boil slowly.
The water should boil, but not bubble
so furious]y as to turn the jars over.
Follow directions as to time for boil
ing, and keep the steam in the boiler.
Sometimes two rubbers are neces-
sary on one jar; but test each jar,
rubber and top thoroughly before
using.
For many fruits which shrink in
heating, it is well to use apart of the
jars to fill the others. Use as little
water as possible, as nearly all fruits
have juice enough, which the heat
will extract.
The best fruit is when it is most
plentiful, and it is then the cheapest.
AS the crop ripens, and gets scarce,
the prices advance, while the quality
deteriorates. "The best is none too
good. ~
Fruits which are specked or over
ripe may be carefully trimmed and
canned for immediate use Such
fruits will often keep for several
weeks, and should be set apart from
the good fruits. These may be used
for pies, buildings, ices and sauces.
Always remember to have the
water in the boiler cold, or nearly so,
when a second filling with jars is
ready. Use no cracked, Clipped or
flawed jars, as they almost invariably
break and spoil the fruit.-Exchange.

Good Things to Know.

When you cannot get the regular
"holders" to keep your jars steady in
the boiler, little hay or excelsior put
between the jars will keep them from
touching each other. If you have no
rack, a clean piece of board, or
Single, or rack made of clean laths
will answer every purpose.
Try the new method of preparing
your fruit and packing at once into
jars or cans, shaking down as solid
as possible, and filling full. Have
plenty of boiling water to fill the cans
with, unless syrup is to be used; in
which case, have the syrup boiling
