Fruit Sandwiches.

Fruit sandwiches are more generally
used than they used to be and are so
delicious that they ought to form a
part of every sandwich repast. They
satisfy Il natural craving for sweets
and are more wholesome and more
easily made than cakes or candies.
Dates can be made into many savory
pastes for sandwich filling. Make the
foundation by stoning the dates and
running them through the meat chop
per. TO pound Of this paste add the
Juice Of an orange and the pulp that
squeezes out with it, rub 1t smooth
and spread between buttered bread.
To a half cupful Of dates add quar-
ter cupful of chopped English walnut
meats and teaspoonful of lemon

son. Yes. but the unjust man
has the advantage In what! In
money Yes. for he is superior
to you in this thai he falters
not. is free from shame and Is
watchful. What is the wonder?
But see if he has the advantage
over you in being faithful. in
being modest. for you will not
find it to be so. but wherein you
are superior there you will find
that you have the advantage.
If man has frequent inter-
course with others. either for
talk or drinking together or gen.
orally social purposes. he must
either become like them or
change them to his own fashion,
for. IL man places piece OF
quenched charcoal close to a

sible that "A man can keep com.

SONG OF LONG AGO.
A song Of long ago
Sing it lightly: sing 1t low:
Sing 1t softly. like the lisping Of
the lips we used to know.
When our baby laughter spilled
From the glad hearts ever filled
With music glad rs robin ever
trilled:
Let the fragrant summer breeze.
And the leaves of locust trees.
And the apple buds and BIOS
SONS. and the wings of hon
eybees.
All palpitate with glee
Till the happy harmony
Brings back each childish joy to
you and me.
Let the eyes Of fancy turn
Where the tumbled pippins burn
Like embers in the orchards lap
Of tangled grass and fern.
There let the old path wind
In and out and on behind
The cider press that chuckles as
we grind.
Blend in the song the moan
OF the dove that grieves alone.
And the wild whir' of the locust.
and the BUNDLES drowsy
drOne,
And the low of cows that call
Through the pasture bars when
The landscape fades away at
evenfall.
Theu. far away and clear.
Through the dusky atmosphere.
Let the waiting of the kildee be
the only sound we hear.
Oh. sad and sweet and low,
AS the memory may know,
Is the glad. pathetic song Of long
ago.

TELLS OF TEST
MADE ON HOGS
FARsoN FARMER vAcciNATES
PoRkERs WITH GOOD
RESULTS.

c. B. Baldwin Of Farson. who lost
several hogs through cholera, vac
cinated his herd of over 200 head and
met with good results. He has been
asked by many regarding the treat
ment used on his swine and tells OF
the test made in the following:
Having been asked number OF
times about the merits Of vaccinating
hogs for cholera, take this means OF
making public the result of our expert
ence this summer, that 1t may be OF
benefit to others in the hog business.
About June rs our hogs commenced
getting sick and some dying with
cholera. Immediately procured the
necessary serum from our state col
lege. and some from Kansas City, and
the services OF our local veterinary,
Mr.. Wiley, and on July and 5 we
treated 237 head of hogs. Many OF
these were too sick to eat, and after
treating them they continued to die
for about week, until I lost thirty
four head, most of which were spring
pigs. No old hogs died after treating
them. In two weeks, after vaccinating
200 head we're we'll and are doing fine
so far. We did not separate the sick
hogs from the we'll ones after treat
ment, but let them stay right in the
herd and expose all of them, and l feel
now that they are all immune from the
disease.

IOWA'S BRAG WOMEN
FARMERS BUY LAND

Waverly, Aug 1s.-Living two miles
south Of Waverly are two women
farmers, the Sullivan sisters, who
probably have no equals in the state
in the ,matter of carrying on farm OPP
erations. On the death Of their father
several years ago they were left $50
acres Of land, which they worked with
the assistance Of one man. They met
with phenomenal success az farmers
and stock raisers and in order to in
crease their operations they acquired
an additional eighty acres two years
ago.
Having then 24o acres, they branched
out in the stock business and We're
again rewarded with success, looking
after all the details Of planting, har-
vesting grain and buying and selling OF
stock. Their continued success prompt
ed them to greater things and last
week they bought the Ed Knott $50
acre farm, for which they paid 5000 per
acre. This gives them 400 acres Of land.
all Of which Is under cultivation or In
pasture.
The Sullivan sisters are practical
farmers, shrewd buyers, being thor
oughly posted on land values and
keep constantly in touch with the
markets.. It is not known that they are
suffragettes.

CORN CROP GREATLY
BENEFITED BY RAIN

Des Moines, Aug 19.-Weather crop
bulletin for the week ending August
II, 1918:
The week was excessively hot and
generally dry, but the heavy rains on
the night of the 10th, and the Total
showers that occurred on several ot/er
days gave sufficient moisture for Zres-
ent needs. The showers on the night
Of the 10th were better distributed
than was indicated by the few tele'
graphic reports given In the last bulle-
tin, but they were, in many localities,
accompanied by high wind and severe
squalls which did considerable dam
age to corn. The worst damage was
done over strip about ten to fifteen
miles wide extending from Guthrie to
Jasper counties Within that area corn
was badly lodged and some of 1t was
blown down but much Of 1t is up
again, and the final output will not be
reduced as much as estimated soon
after the storm. Damage was also
done by the wind in other sections OF
smaller area, but the injury to the crop
as a whole will be light In comparison
to the vast amount Of benefit result
ING from the abundant moisture. The
corn crop as whole was greatly
benefited, but the rain came too late
to improve the early corn In the south
ern counties where the drought has
been severe and Of long duration. Late
potatoes, garden truck. pastures,
meadows, and fruits were also greatly
benefited by the rains. Fall blowing
has begun-Geo. M. Chapel, section

MAN CHOKES ON
PAPER STRAW; DIES

Davenport, Aug. 19.-Gaorge Fl. Mel.
son, 1873 Thirty first avenue, Moline, Is
dead as a result Of an accident thai
physicians declare Is unique in the his
tory of the medical profession. He
choked to death on paper straw, such
as Is used to drink lemonade. He was
endeavoring to drink matted milk while
lying in bed.
Mr.. Nelson was recovering from an
attack Of pneumonia. He was out Of
danger, so far as the disease was con-
cerned, but was very weak and had
been taking matted milk every few
hours for the purpose of building ul
his strength. HeAawoke at a. m. and
called for the milk. Mrs. Nelson pre-
pared it and he decided to try to drink
1t through a paper straw while lying
down.
AS he began to drink the milk by
sucking it through the straw, the
straw suddenly flew into his mouth
and lodged in his windpipe. Mrs. Mel
son, quick as a flash realizing the
gravity Of the accident, caught hold OF
the straw with her fingers and pulled
The straw broke and only part Of 1t
came out. Mr.. Nelson gave one gasp
and was dead.
The Drs. Vessel arrived on the
scene a few moments later, only to find
the man cold in death.
DR.. P. H. Vessel said that If Mr.
Nelson had been in an erect position
at the time that he was drinking the
liquid the accident could never have
happened. It was because he Was lying
flat on his back which opened the
l-rynx every time he drew some Of the
milk into his mouth.
