Picked Cucumbers - Cucumbers
should be cut from the vines with a
short bit of stem left to each. Handle
them carefully, as if in the least
bruised they will decay. Select the
size you like best, and have them as
uniform as possible. Make brine
by putting one pint Of rock salt into a
pail of boiling water, and pour the
water, boiling hot, over the cucum-
bers; cover tightly to keep in the
steam; let them remain over night
and until noon next day. Drain and
make second brine like the first and
pour over them; let them remain in it
the same length of time. The next
morning drain off the brine, scald and
skim it, and pour it again over the
pickles, leaving again for thirty-six
hours. Then drain, rinse and wipe
them dry, carefully handling them.
Pack in a jar or jars and pour boiling
vinegar over them, throwing into the
vinegar a lump of alum as big as a
large walnut to every pailful of pick
les, and you will have fine, hard,
green pickle. If liked, add whatever
spices you wish to the vinegar, tying
the spices up in little bags. Keep the
pickles under the vinegar, and cover
with clean white cloth under hard
board, and on the board lay brick,
(which has tendency to gather the
scum to itself if any rises) and it may
be washed off as often as necessary.
This is an old, tried pickle recipe.
Mixed Pickles (sweet)-Take one
dozen cucumbers, one dozen green
tomatoes, half dozen onions, two solid
medium-sized heads of cabbage, and
run separately through coarse chop
per; sprinkle with salt "a teacupful is
enough) and let stand over night;
next morning squeeze out the juice,
and put alternate layers of each in a
kettle, at the same time adding one
ounce each of tumeric, celery seeds
and white mustard seeds, half a box
of ground mustard, and half a pound
of brown sugar. Cover all with vim
egar and let simmer over the fire for
half an hour, then bottle while hot,
or seal in small stone jars. Delicious.
The Best of Mixed Pickles-Take
small cucumbers, onions, green
beans, broken-up cauliflower, tiny
ears Of corn, and any other vegets-
bles liked. which must all be young
and tender, and pour over them boil
ing hot brine made of one teacupful OF

Attack Like Tigers.

In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corpuscles attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply SO fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples, boils,
eczema, saltrheum and sores multiply
and strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bitters to
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys
and to expel poisons from the blood.
They are the best blood purifier"
writes c. I. Budahn, of Tracy, Calf,
Il have ever found" They make
rich, red blood, strong nerves and
build up your. health. Try them.

Bonds May be Exempt.
Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. Al
though several state officers are no
in the city, yet it is believed the,
think the So, 500, 90 bond issue shoule
become the property of residents O
the State and that in the event Mis-
sourians do purchase the securities
the next Legislature should enact
law exempting them from taxation.
Attorney General Major warmly ad.
vocates this plan. But he said the
Fund Commissioners will be required
to dispose of the bonds to the highest
responsible bidder.
The bonds will be advertised for
sale probably during September.
Bidders will be required to deposit
certified checks for a certain per cent
of the number of bonds they desire.
These bids will be received sealed
and all will be opened upon given
date. The Fund Commissioners may
issue the bonds in the denominations
of $500 and $1,000.
The bands will bear 3 IL per cent
interest and may run, at the option of
the State, for thirteen years. 1t is
not doubted but what they will sell at
par.
1t is expected that home purchasers
will have hungry competitors. Twen-
ty years ago Missouri refunding bonds
sold above par and this was at time
when the State had a big debt to sat-
isfy. At that time most of the bonds
were taken by Eastern investors.
August Is to 10 Set for an Adj
journment.
Washington, D. c., Aug. Lead
ers of both houses of Congress to-day
figured an adjournment of Congress
between August Is and 10. Demo-
cratic House leaders hold this view.
Vice President Sherman predicted
August Is, and Democratic Leader
Martin of the Senate "the middle of
the month"
Mr.. Sherman said he thought the
on the wool and free list
bills would reach some agreement by
Wednesday. One or both of the bills,
he believed, should reach the Presi-
dent by Friday, be returned with
veto Saturday and be acted on adj
versely by Congress by Monday,
which, within forty-eight hours there
after would be able to wind up the
extra session.
81 am almost positive that La Fol-
lette and Underwood cannot get to-
gether on the wool bill, said Minori-
ty Leader Mann. eff that is so, | do
not believe the adjournment will
came by next Saturday.

LIQUID AIR FOR THE MINES
invention Is Called "AerolIth" and II
Is Said viii supersede All
Other Systems In Use.

DR.. Otto Suesg, an Austrian engi-
neer, has just invented an apparatus
TO carry liquid air into the mines. The
invention is called "aerolith," and II
is said will supersede all previously
existing systems in use. The aerolth
Is based upon the utilization Of liquid
air Until recently liquid air could
only be produced by expensive and
complicated machinery. but now IL can
be produced at moderate cost by ma
chimes of a small horse power. The
suess machine consists of a reservoir
In the shape OF knapsack. which is
carried on the miuer's back This
reservoir Is filled with liquid air. three
10 four quarts being sufficient for two
hours. The apparatus is connected by
two tubes to a respiratory mask fixed
IN front Of the mouth of the miner, so
that he may readily inhale the liquid
air The reservoir containing the
liquid air has an alarm clock attached
to IT, which warns the miner when
the two hours have elapsed It is
claimed that the invention has pro
duced some very good results. and at
some Of the mines laboratories for the
manufacture Of liquid air arc being
erected in order that the management
may always be prepared.

A special type of motor has been
built for a British powder factory. In
which precautions have been taken To
render the motor name-proof and
explosion-proof. The motor case is
very strongly built, so that II win
stand explosion of dust or gases which
might find their way into It. The
Joints OF the motor case are packed
with hemp rope dipped in tar. this
being considered more durable than
rubber at high temperatures The
bearings are also specially packed to
prevent the escape of hot gas in case
