Have in the boys cGtlon club, 15 boys and one girl, that will work ? acres of cotton, 6 boys who will work one acre each in corn, F girls who will plant and cultivate a plat of tomatoes and can them and have them or exhibit at the county fair this fall. Among this number there are } men aad 3 boys who expect to make one bale of cotton per acre. 3 men that l expect will make from 75 to 100 bushels of corn per acre, and some of the boys will do as well. What we want is sunshine and a chance to work and 1 think we will do the rest.

A Permanent Cure For
 Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute it who others, who speak from personal experi- ence, assert that there is 8 permanent cure for chronic constipation. Some testify they were cured for as little as fifty cents, years ago, and that the trouble never came back on them, while others admit they took several bottles before a steady cure was brought about.

It has been on the market for over q quarter of century and has been popularzed on it's merits, by one person telling another. are women and elderly people-the ones most consistently pated-makes it certain that the claims regarding it as permanent cure for constipation have not been cX2 %""rat"G..-.s ....> .~.... ..-

lNsUREs ECONOMY OF FUEL.
BY Martha McCullcch Williams.

Paper bag cooking economies
fuel-the fact IS demonstrable, be-
yond doubt Particularly If the
fuel is gas. The figures to follow are
given for gas, but are easy Of trans
lation into coal heat or even oil.
The oven Of gas range turned on
full, burns twenty feet Of gas an
hour for each flame-bar. Commonly
there are two bars-thus, the hourly
consumption at full head is forty feet.
The giant burner on top likewise,
at full head, consumes twenty feet an
hour, the small burners, each ten
feet. Thus stove in full commits
sion for pot and pan cooking consumes
ninety feet an hour.
Now, for paper bag cooking the
oven must be lighted and turned on
full for eight minutes before any
thing goes into t; it must also burn
full strength forseyen minutes longer.
Thus, 1t consumes ten feet of gas at
tho outset. Turning out one burner to
reduce the heat one-half at the end
OF the seven minute period reduces
consumption to fifteen feet for the
rest of the hour, making total Of
twenty-five feet against forty. But
roasting does not demand that bur-
ner goes full-turning 1t down might
save five feet in the hour. Thus the
net hour-saving of gas on the oven
account Is ten feet.
But there are other accounts. By
help of paper bags, you can not mere
~ roast In the oven, but cook at the
same time a couple of vegetables and
bake a pie or pudding. With small
roast you may even cook three veg
etables, thereby leaving unlighted
three upper jets. which would mean
a saving Of thirty feet of gas an hour.
Cooking thus solely in the oven
means a saving of fifty feet of gas
an hour.
Nor Is this even all the story. Mys-
terlously, things cook more quickly
in bags than out of them. The say
ing in time is one-ffth to one-sixth.
Putting this at the lowest, and esti-
mating the whole range consumption
of gas at ninety feet, there is saw
ing of fifteen feet. Add them uEzlhs
dfty feet already in credit, and the
sum is flattering. indeed, to the paper
bag.

PAPER BAG COOKERY.

One must to keep up with the times.
| havs some experience in cooking in
paper bags. It is quick, satisfactory
and economical and the ideal way OF
cooking meats, as the flavor is all in
the meat, not passed off in the oven
or air. It prevents waste, as the meat
weighs as much when it is taken from
the oven as it did when put in.
One of the beauties Of this system
is hat the food cannot be looked at,
ascn9cthe only care IS to keep the oven
at good temperature for the dish
baking. Care should be taken In
opening the oven if a gas flame is
used, for sudden draught from a win
dow or door may ignite the bag.
When such accident occurs, turn off
the gas. remove the bag and place it
inside of another. If left few min
utes to make up the loss of time. ev.
erything will be right.
There are any number of points in
favor of paper bag cookery; no dishes
to wash after roasting fowl or cook
Ing stew, perfectly clean, sanitary
bag, free from microbes, to use, no
odor from the cooking and no oven
to watch.
Paper bags made for the purpose
are on the market; the ordinary bag
is not satisfactory as 1t is not strong
enough and 1t leaves an undesirable
flavor in the substance cooked in it.
These bags may be purchased Of
any merchant. or he will be glad to
keep them as they are becoming more
and more popular as they are known.
Directions for using come in each
package. Care should be taken in
placing meat with sharp skewers or
bones that will pierce the bag.
The bag should not be moved when
put into the oven. as the heat makes
It very tender. When ready to take
out, place pan under it and draw out
gently on to it or the platter on which
It IS to be served. Open the bag and
remove the contents. One mistake,
which is made by many is that of put
ting the filed bag into a pan: It
should be placed directly on the iron
rack, so that the heat has free access
to every part of it. If the bag bursts,
slide it into another, keeping a pan
on the bottom Of the oven to CATCH all
the gravy that escapes.

THE VALUE OF DATES As; FOOD

THE VALUE OF DATES AS FOOD.
II children could be given dates,
raisins and figs for sweets more often
than candy. they would be much bet
ter in disposition and health.
Hutchinson says that a half pound
Of dates and pint of milk makes a
meal sufficiently nourishing for per.
son engaged in sedentary labor.
AS confection there is nothing
more delicious than dates stuffed with
nuts Of any kind. A few dates added
to the apple salad improves 1t very
much.
A date put into small ball Of
doughnut dough and fried is a pleas
ant change from the everyday dough-
nuts.
Dates added to the breakfast cereal
is not new, but it is a decided I'M
provement on the plain cereal.
The Arab can walk long distances
and display the most wonderful en-
durance with a handful Of dates and
piece of black bread for food.
For cake filing dates are excep.
tionally good. Take half pound Of
dates, remove the stones and cut fine

GETS THE GOOD OUT OF FOOD,

Eating serves a double purpose
the giving of pleasure, the keeping
up Of strength. Ill-cooked food re.
duces both to a minimum-hence the
proverb: God sends meat and the
devil sends cooks" Possibly his
satanic majesty now and again mods.
It must have been in such a somno.
lent interval that he let M. Soyer's
system Of paper bag cooking get by
him. For unquestionably it is in the
way OF reducing ill-cooking at least
one-half. Thereby it will help to feed
fat all the nations of the earth.
The use Of cooking is to change
the nature Of food substances. max
ing them at once better tasting and
more digestible. Heat works by de-
veloping favors and Transforming sub.
stances. Its most important office is.
however, to break down fiber, animal
and vegetable, to such a degree as to
render it easily digestible. II it Is
to do this it must be properly applied
That is to say, gently. regularly.
Simple food, we'll cooked, is the
foundation Of happiness-and paper
bag cooking means good cooking.
It follows naturally that the paper
bag is especially useful in preparing
food for delicate persons, and grow.
ing children. Here follow some
dishes that have helped build up
weak and wasted people. That they
will be likewise good for children.
especially delicate ones. admits Of
no doubt.
Pigeon Roast.-Take a squab q
squab-chicken as small as possible,
or quail. dress 1t whole, stuff light
ly with toasted bread crumbs. adding
a raisin or two, or shreds Of tart
apple. Season very lightly inside be-
fore stufing. Rub little more salt
outside, but only a little. Rub also
with soft butter, not melted. and
dredge very lightly with -four Then
wrap in bacon, sliced as thin as pos
sible, and put into a buttered bag
with a half teaspoonful of water Seal
and cook In a hot oven twenty to
thirty minutes, depending on the size:
The sQuab-chicken may require thir~
ty-five minutes.
Shredded Wheat and Toma{o~e
Pour upon each shredded wheat Bis
cult required teaspoonful OF melted
butter. Lay the buttered biscuit in
a well-buttered bag and pile upon
them thick slices Of peeled toma-
toes, we'll seasoned with suga., salt,
black and red pepper. Seal and cook
for ten minutes. Serve on hot plates.
A pleasing variant for children is to
use instead Of tomatoes, bananas
peeled. cut Il cubes, covered with
sugar and lemon Juice, and cooked
for eight minutes. This can be served
with cream.
