LacIede Product
From the Hannibal Journal.

From the Hannibal Journal.
Mr.. B. E. Bigger is a graduate
of the state university and began
the practice of law in Linn county
in the year 1905. He came to
Hannibal in 1907, where he open
ed an office, and he almost immedi-
lately jumped into a big practice.
He is a gentleman of commanding
appearance, a bright scholar, an
interesting speaker and has a thor
ough knowledge Of law. Because
of his steady habits and gentleman
ly department. he commands the re-
spect and esteem of all and every
one; has a very lucrative practice
and but seldom loses a case. When
a client goes to him for advice he
tells him candidly what he thinks
of his case, and if his case is not a
merited one Mr.. Bigger candidly
tells him so. 1t is thus, in a great
measure, that he has built up such
q large practice in so short a time.
Mr.. Nelson and Mr.. Bigger will
compose a law firm that will be
sought for advice in matters of
great moment and their advice will
be such that their clients may rely
upon it without any misgivings.
The Journal predicts pronounced
success by the law firm of Nelson
& Bigger.

how great the poultry industry is

How behind the times we are, just
rubbing our eyes open to the lowell
ness of jade, while our slant-eyed

able belief in its potency to bring I'M

that it is a talisman against which
the shafts of i'll will are splintered to
bits. Jade is indeed to him the most
precious OF all stones. and for ages
has he wrought 1t into most ex-
quisite and delicate shapes both in
ornamental jewelry and lovely pieces
of bric-a-brac.
home test for jade may be made
by placing upon one cheek the stone
in question and upon the other some
thing in glass. If the doubtful stone
is the sacred stone Of the east, it's
touch will sting like ice and even for
quite time after removal, but If it is
merely glass the two cheeks will have
the same mild shock of cold, warming
up very quickly, The results of the
amber test, however. are the reverse.

ChiIdren's Dishes.

OF course. there are always things that
wise mothers think that their children
should eat. whether they like 1t or not
simply because tradition and the family
doctor say so; but the more modern ideas
are that the food that is not taken with
relish because it tastes good does not
nourish the system or crafty the small
person In any way. Children's tastes,
though simpler than grown peoples. are
just as decided. and their loathings and
likes arc just as pronounced. 1t is said
that the taste changes every seven years,
and in that case why worry? The child
who refuses to eat eggs. fruit or Ash
today will turn TO them when he feels the
need. or in some way the taste is aroused
There seems to he an almost universal
liking for sweets among normal children.
and the only difficulty Is to turn this Tx
ing into the safest channels. Milk and
cocoa seem to be the favorite bever-
ages. with lemonade or orangeade for a
cold drink. Ice cream is usually popu-
lar. especially vanilla and chocolate
Fish, strong-favored vegetables, highly
seasoned meats or very rich salads are
rarely liked by children The recipes
given are for few general favorites,
and the little menu is good for chill
