THE WHOLESOME TOMATO.


The tomato is such an appetizing
fruit vegetable, If one could call it
so, also 1t has the reputation Of being
a good tonic for the liver. When one
finds the skin producing brown liver
spots. 1t is time to give the sluggish
liver jog. Tomatoes may be put
up and served in such a variety of
ways that housewife who has few
dozen cans is Independent. She may
have soup. pickles, catsup, preserves,
to say nothing Of the numbers of
dishes to be made in combination
with other vegetables.
A small family, If fond OF the vege-
table, will consume sixty quarts and
then not have enough. Fill all your
empty jars with the tomatos, using
only little salt, and when thoroughly
scalded seal in well sterilized cans.
They keep as fresh as the day they
are put up if the rubbers are new and
the cans screwed tight
One good housewife makes catsup
as she needs 1t by adding the spices
and pepper to canned tomatoes.
For preserving tomatoes the small
yellow one is the most satisfactory,
adding lemon in slices, removing the
seeds Weigh the fruit and add to
pound Of the tomatoes three-quarters
Of pound Of sugar, cooking slowly
until the tomatoes look transparent.
One cause for failure in canning
tomatoes is that often they are over
ripe. Perfectly sound, we'll ripened to-
matoes If put up in air tight jars will
keep for several years.
A dozen well-cared for tomato plants
will produce enough fruit to supply the
table and have some to put up, besides
having plenty of green ones for pick
ling and chow-chow after the frost
comes.
The following is a very excellent
chill sauce recipe:
Peel and chop twenty-four large ripe
tomatoes; chop six green peppers and
four onions. Put into kettle with
three tablespoonfuls of salt, eight ta-
blespoonfuls of brown sugar and cup
of vinegar; cook slowly one, hour.
Then put into bottles and seal.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Pernusslnn Can.

The Percussion Cap.
There was a long, tense silence
The cowled figures had risen omin
ously; Miss Thorne paled behind hei
mask, and her fingers gripped hel
palms tiercely. still she sat motion
less. Prince d'Abruzzi broke the 81
lence. He seemed perfectly calm and
self-possessed.
How did you get in?" he demand
ed
"Throttled your guard at the front
door, took him down cellar and locked
him in the coal-bin," replied Mr.
Grimm tersely. NJ am waiting for
you to burn it."
And how did you escape from
from the other placer"
Mr.. Grimm shrugged his shoulders.
'The lamp is in front of you," he
said.
And find your way here?" the
prince pursued.
Again Mr.. Grimm shrugged his
shoulders. For an instant longer the
prince gazed straight into his In
scrutable face, then turned accusing
eyes on the masked figures about him.

suddenly. His gaze settled on Miss
Thorne and fingered there.

"You are giving some very excellent

permitted to leave this room alive"

DANGEROUS RaciIIi In Dust.

A statement issued recently by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention Of Tuberculosis speaks Of
the dangers from house dust, espe-
cially in rooms that are not well ven-
tilated. The association warns against
dry sweeping, and against the use OF
the feather dhster or other devices
that scatter, but do not take up the
dust. Since the ordinary dust blown
about in the streets is impregnated
with disease germs, the National AS
sociation urges the adoption of meth
ods that will prevent the further dis
semination of such bacilli 1t also
urges for the coming months of fall
and winter, more open windows and
more fresh air in house, shop, and
schooIroom.

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema | have
ever heard Of. My mother had child
who had rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave US medicine, but 1t did
no good. In few days the head was
solid mass, running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beala-
tiful head of hair. l think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 49, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be

cura," Dept. IL L, Boston.

purpose is merely to demonstrate its
efficacy: to prove to, your complete
satisfaction that 1t can be exploded
under practically any conditions"
His entire manner underwent a
change; he drew chair up to the
table, and stood for an instant with
his hand resting on the back.
The compact is written in three
nguages-English, French and Ital-
ian. l shall ask you to sign, after
reading either or all, precisely as the
directions you have received from
your home government instruct. On
behalf of the three greatest Latin
countries, as special envoy of each, l
will sign first"
He dropped into the chair, signed
each of the three parchment pages
three times, then rose and offered the
pen to the cowled figure at one end
of the semicircle The man came for
ward, read the English transcript,
studied the three signatures already
there with a certain air of surprise,
then signed. The second man signed,
the third man, and the fourth.
The fifth had just risen to go for
ward when the door opened silently
and Mr.. Grimm entered. Without a
glance either to right or left, he went
straight toward the table, and extend
ed hand to take the compact.
For an instant there had come
amazement, dumb astonishment, at
the intrusion. 1t passed, and the hand
of the man who had done the talking
darted out seized the compact, and
held it behind him.
"If you will be good enough to give
that to me, your Highness," suggested
Mr.. Grimm quietly.
For half minute the masked man
stared straight into the listless eyes
Of the intruder, and then:
"Mr. Grimm. you are in very grave
danger"
That is beside the question" was
the reply. BE good enough to give
me that document"
He backed away as he spoke, kicked

Mr.. Grimm's face turned red, then
white again.

Suddenly Miss Thorne tore the
mask from her face and came for
ward. Her cheeks were scarlet. and
anger famed in the blue-gray eyes.
"Mr. Grimm has no price--I hap

he resumed. Its chief value to the

United States and England are now
concluding negotiations, unknown to
each other, by which they will pro-
tect their seaports by means of mines
primed with this cap. The tuning Of
the caps which we will use is known
only to us; the tuning of the caps
which they will use is also known to
us! The addition to the wireless ap-
paratus which they will use is such
that they can not, even by accident,
explode a mine guarding our sea-
ports; but, on the other hand, the ao-
dition to the wireless apparatus which
we will use permits of the extreme
high charge which will explode their
mines. To make it clearer, we could

ALFALFA
FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Good For the Hens and LightenS
the Grain Bill.

Alfalfa is as much an egg producing
1t is rich in nitrogen and mineral mat
ter, thus providing the hens with sub
stances that are derived from it in
forms most suitable for the purpose
desired. Lime is an essential sub
stance in the production of eggs, and
there are some that use oyster shells
for supplying the hens with lime, but
alfalfa contains lime in a soluble form
and ready prepared for use.
The various grains are deficient in
lime, and when poultry receive no
food but grain it is impossible for the
hens to lay perfect eggs, many being
soft shelled. When the needed ele-
ments are supplied and the hens lay
regularly the carbOnaceOus matter is
appropriated by the eggs, but if the
hens do not lay they become fat and
remain in a condition that invites dis
ease.
Alfalfa or clover, by displacing part
Of the grain ration, supplies the hens
with substances which are lacking in
grain and provides bulk food and heat
ing food. 1t is good both in the dry
and green state, and happy is the poul-
tryman who has an alfalfa patch for
his hens TO wander in. They can get
animal and green food at the same
time. If you don't raise alfalfa your
self buy it by all means and save half
your grain bill.

Different Manure Functions.

The chief distinction between the
functions of farm manure and CON-
mercial fertilizers may be stated in a
general way to be that farm manure
increases crop production by improv-
ing the condition of the soil, while the
commercial fertilizers act directly as a
plant food without materially affecting
the soil structure.
The function of commercial fertiliz-
ers is therefore to supplement the
available supply of plant food in the
soil by supplying any deficiency which
may exist and by furnishing surplus
of food upon which the plant may
draw.
