of twenty-five losing her voice. Her
eyes were found to be in need of at

and then pack the kettle away in the
f1reless cooker for five or six hours.
The meat is then tender enough to
peel from the bone. and more water
is added, and whatever cereal we wish
to use. The whole mass Is once more
brought to the boiling point. and put
back in the cooker. In another four
OF five hours we find a supply of rich

cool place for several days. The dogs
seem to enjoy the food prepared In
this way, and we are sure of its be-

One of our friends, relates the Tip
ton Times, in discussing the best
story in the Bible says: ut may
surprise you, but it's about Noah
and the flood. We say this even in
the face of educated folks, who turn
up their noses and declare this story
is fake. You remember Noah had
to work long time on that ark. 1t
was uphill business, too, at best to
go on toiling and sweating day after
day in the hot sun building a boat
way out on dry land while the local
anvil and hammer club sat around
splitting tobacco juice upon his lum-
Der, whiting up his pine boards
with their knives and telling him
what fool he was to be expecting a
big rain in a country that was too
hot to grow alfalfa. But he kept at
it. Finally the flood came and every
mothers son of the croakers drown
ed. This is the only instance we
know of in either sacred or profane
history where a bunch of knockers
got exactly what was coming to
them"
