At the first menace of war Gar
Ferdinand of Bulgaria sent to Paris
on a secret mission one of the most
faithful members of his staff. This
parsonage was charged, not as one
might think, with diplomatic negoti-
atoms with NJ. Poincare, nor with
our great Partisan financiers, but to
buy in one of our most important
magazine novelties, flannels for the
protection of the precious body of his
majesty during the rigors of the cam
paign But events came on with such
rapidity that this commissioner was
urgently recalled and obliged to re-
gain his post before he was able to
complete his purchases. Therefore,
he left his wife at Paris, charged to
fulfill the delicate mission with which
he had been intrusted. Thanks to
the intelligent activity of this lady the
imperial package was at last sent
without delay to Sofia These are
French fannels and will permit the
Car Ferdinand to meet the rigors of
a winter campaign without runnin,
the risk of catching cold.

NO NEED TO "H0LD PHONE
Sound Maenifying Trumpet Which
Will Tell You When II Is Time

There is a sound m%agnifying trum-
pet of fiat shape, behind which is a
small attachment intended to support
the telephone receiver. When it be-
m necessary &c hold the line,
when calling up or replying, instead OF
the person standing with the receiver
glued TO his ear he places the receiver
upon the time saver, bringing the ear
piece into position with the sound
magnitier. He is then at liberty to
resume his duties until such time as
the person required at the opposite
end attends his instrument.
This is notified by the speech trans
mitter being magniied by the time
saving device so as TO be perfectly
audible at a distance. The receiver
may then either be withdrawn and
held to the ear IL the usual way, or
left in connection with the magnifier,
hearing being quite as simple and
easy as under normal conditions. An
other advantage of the invention is
hat the users two hands are left free

SAVE EGGS FOR WINTER NOW
Poultry Department Of New York
State College of Agriculture Gives
Practical Directions.

Eggs at present prices On the farm
eggs are scarce and high, why not
have plenty of cheap eggs for home
use?
The poultry department OF the New
York state college of agriculture at
Cornell university gives the following
directions for preserving eggs in wat
erglass.
The commercial water-glass solu-
ton may be obtained from any drug
store at a cost of about 90 cents a
quart. Mix 1h quarts of this solution
with eighteen quarts of pure water.
Water which has been boiled is prefer
able. Stir these until they are thor
oughly mixed. Two ei~ght-gallon jars
are sufficient for thirty dozen eggs, u.s.
ing the amount of solution as prescrib-
ed above. After the water-glass is
thoroughly mixed divide it into the
vessels to be used. Be sure that the
vessels are absolutely clean. Place the
eggs in the water-glass, see that the
tops eggs are covered by at least two
inches OF the liquid, and the
jars to prevent evaporation. Place
them in a cool place where they will
be undisturbed during the year.
Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs.
Stale eggs will not keep in any pre-
sentative. Have your preservative
ready to put the fresh eggs into as you
get them. If you are in doubt as to
their freshness, candle them, or see
if they sink when placed in a dish of
water. If any egg sinks it is reason
ably fresh. Do not preserve dirty
eggs nor eggs which have been wash
ed.
W~ater-glass eggs are practically as
good as fresh eggs for most cooking
purposes. If it is desired to boil them,
prick a small hole through the large
end of the shell before placing them
in the water. The pores of the shell
have been sealed with the water-glass
solution, and without this pin hole the
expanding air within the shell would
burst it.

a trunk strap and walloped poor old
Spot into silence and went back to

When Silverman went behind the

London and its Lumber

London is the most conservative city
in Europe, if not in the world. 1t loves
its lumber. You may still see those
notices attached to lamp posts which

Der may be, though for ten years Tin
one case, TO my own knowledge for
twenty-five) no vehicles of any kind
have stood there. Perhaps it is as well
that these relics should remain; they
are a tiny part OF our social history.
They will probably remain when we
are flying to dinner or the ~tIeater in

SOURCES OF HOG TROUBLES
Corn Is Productive of Indigestion and
Dirt Breeds Disease-Furnish
Dry Quarters.

Hog troubles are due to too much
dirt and too much corn, says Kansas
Farmer. Corn is a fat producer, but
not a muscle builder, and ar exclu-
sive corn diet during the growing Pc
Rod not only fails to supply the ele-
ment needed by the animal, but is
productive of digestion troubles and
weaknesses in the system which in
yite disease.
Corn is a good element in the ra-
ton of any hog at any time. There is
nothing better, but it must be bal
anced by alfalfa, clover DR. some 9TH
er heterogeneous feed during the grow
ing periods of pigs and the breeding
periods of hogs. There is only M
period in the life of the hog when an
exclusive corn ration should be used,
and that is at the last end of the fat
tening period of market hogs.
There is not time In the life Of a hog
when he should not have clean, dry
sleeping quarters and pure drinking
water. Both worms and cholera come
with filth.

TREATMENT FOR LUMPY JAWS
Most Satisfactory Way Is to Remove
the Growth With Knife When
In the Tissues Only.
CBy q. q.


The most satisfactory way Of treat
ing lumpy jaws is to remove the
growth with the knife when in the
tissues only. The animal is thrown;
the head then held in a favorable po-
sition, the skin is cut over the tumor
and the swelling removed by cutting
around 1t in the healthy tissues. II
hemorrhage is large the vessel may
be tied or taken up with the forceps;
bleeding from smaller vessels may be
scared with a red hot iron. The
wound should be washed with an anti
septic In one per cent. solution after
the tumor is removed and then packed
with antiseptic gauze or cotton and
the wound stitched up. The next day
removed the stitches and treat as ar

TOOLS FOR A GARDEN
Labor of Growing Vegetables Re-
duced by Field Methods.
Because Much Of Work Is to Be Done
When Other Things Are Pressing,
Gardening Is Too Often Left
as Slack Time Job.

Field methods in the garden go a
long way toward reducing the labor of
growing vegetables. Long rows and
the proper tools to work with will do
away with rs per cent. of the tedious
hand work, so freely used as an argu-
ment against maintaining a garden.
