Forty Thousand Have Been Killed

thing in the last Balkan war, a little
light begins to break upon the hith-

place, the Servians have lost more
men than in the whole previous cam
paign, and semi-official statements is
sued at Belgrade have the appearance
of an intention to prepare the public
for news of a disaster.
Desperate fighting with varying
fortunes is proceeding along the Var
dar and Bregalinitza rivers, which
seems to be in favor of the Bulgar-
ians.
A conservative estimate of the kill
ed or wounded in last weeks fighting
fixes the number at from 10000 to
10000. Thousands of destitute refu-

TIPS ON MAKING ICED TEA
Two Methods, Both of Which Have
Their Exponents, Are Fully
Explained.

There is probably no drink more re-
freshing and certainly none that can
be more attractively served than iced
tea Ii can be made before 1t is need
ed and kept on hand. always chilled.
In the ice box, or it can be made at a
moments notice. provided there is
plenty of ice. plenty OF fresh boiling
water and the right sort OF tea at
hand.
There are two methods of making
iced tea, and both have their expon-
ents. One says to put cracked ice in
glass and then put in slice or SO
of lemon, and, il sweetness is liked,
suff1 cient number Of Jumps OF sugar.
Then make tea, rather strong. with
freshly boiling water. After the wa
ter has stood on the grounds for four
or five minutes. pour the tea on the
ice. A safeguard against broken
glasses is to put spoon in each glass.
The spoon serves as a conductor OF
heat
The other method for making iced
tea is more economical. for according
to 1t. the tea Is made and poured into
big bottle, fruit jar or covered jug
or pitcher, when it is sufi GENTLY
strong. and then stood in the ice box
until it is thoroughly chilled. Slices
Of lemon and sugar can be added be-
fore or after 1t is served. and a little
chopped ice adds not only to the deli
ciousness. but also to the sound OF the
tea-and nothing is more suggestive
of refreshment when the mercury is
climbing than the sound of tinkling
| ice and glass.

ATTENTION NEEDED BY cow
Be Placed In Comfortable and
Well-Littered Stall.

(BN t. L. MA EtkEkl
For ten days preceding the time for
calving. the COW should be kept in a
comfortable. well-littered box stall or
pen. in which there is no manger. Ths
feed should be given in a box or bas
ket. which should be removed after
the feed is taken. The coarse feed
may be put in the corner. and no
more should be given than she will
eat This rule should be observed,
not only before calving. but at all
times. Throwing large quantities Of
roughage before a COW leads her into
the bad habit OF eating only the most
appetizing parts and so wasting much
feed. 1t is a good practice TO take a
lantern and go the rounds of the barn.

that everything is as 1t should be.

CULTURE or THE BLUEREnRl
Much Land In United Staten Suited fol
Nothing Else-Berries Stand
Shipment Well.
(By r. G. WEATHERsrONE)

(By H. u. WEATHERSTONE.)
Blueberries thrive in acid soils and
there is a large amount of naturally
acids lands in the east United States
that are fit for nothing else on which
blueberries could be raised proftably.
There are two methods of propa.
eating the BURBERRY plant The first.
which is suited to upland soils, Is to
set the plants in trenches or separate
holes in well-rotted peat about foot
deep and mulch the surface well with
leaves or clean sand
Give plenty OF room for the roots
The soil should afford good drainage
as the ideal condition of the paat
about the roots is one of continued
moisture during the growing season.
The second method OF field culture
is to set the plants in peat bog after
1t has been drained, turfed and deeply
mulched with sand just as for cram
berry culture, except that no provision
need be made for rapid flooding of the
bog for winter. The ground water OF
the bog might be kept a little lower
than is usual with cranberries.
There is great difference between
the genuine BURBERRY and its coupter.
feit-the huckleberry. The BURBERRY
Is plump. large and its seeds are SO
small as to be almost unnoticed. The
huckleberry's seed is surrounded with
bony covering like a minute peat
pit which crackles between the teeth

insist that their product be not con
fused with huckleberries and sold al

PLANTS OF FRAGRANCE
Those Used for Volatile Oils
Largely Scattered.
Sassafras Bark Also Quite Popular as
Domestic "Sprlng Medclne"-
Sweet Birch Found In Many
Of Eastern States.
(By f. RABAK)

tBy f. RABAK)
Possibly the number OF wild aro-
matte plants which are used in the
manufacture of volatile oils exceeds
that OF those which are at present cul-
uvated. The extent of the production
OF the oils is much less. chiefly be-
cause Of the more or less scattered
condition of these plants, and there
fore the difficulty Of gathering them
In large quantities. Usually these
wild aromatic plants are distributed
over wide areas confused largely with
other volatile or nonvolatile species,
thus causing the rapid collection OF
the plants to be seriously hindered

uncultiyated plant which yields q
volatile oil of considerable value is

GALLOWS OUSTED IN IDAHO.
Jury is Now Given Power to Name
Penalty for Murderers.

Boise, Idaho.-Although thi state
has not done away with capital pun
shment, Idaho is virtually a hangless
state. The gallows at the state peni-
:entiary in this city have Just been
'emoved. and it is very doubtful if
ever again the hangman's moose will
De resorted TO in punishment of crime
against society.
This change is due TO the fact that
a law has been enacted and is now on
he statute books placing in the hands
Of juries the right to find a defendant
guilty of murder and designate
whether he shall suffer the death PEN
atty or shall spend the balance of his
days in a living death, incarcerated
for life behind the grim walls of a
prison.

SALEM GRANGE HAS
SPLENDID MEETING

Salem Grange held one Of the best
meetings Saturday that has been held
for good many years, about rs be.
ing present. Many subjects of inter
est were discussed, among them being
in favor of public market, where
farmers could sell to housewives, and
then they would be able to buy fresh
berries and vegetables direct from the
farmer Mrs Orla Buxton, of the wo-
mans work committee, Of the State
Grange, spoke along the line of wo-
mans work in the grange, and of en-.
couraging better care of babies, so we
would have stronger children. She also
spoke of the movement for reform in
dress; no low neck short sleeves and
silk hose for wear on streets by young
girls or their mothers, as we know by
many things that is the first step to a
girls downfall, and we want to pro.
tect our girls, uplift them, give them
something better and purer to think Of
Mrs. Lynch, our police matron, spoke
along the same lines, and we know she
is doing good work, and we are proud
to think Salem has wakened to the
fact that she needs police matron,
for she has needed one for long time.
II. H. Stevens, county deputy for Ma
rion county grange, gave us talk on
good Of the order, as also did Mrs.
Shells, from Gervais Brother VOORHEES,,
from Woodburn grange, told the mem.
bers not to come there, eat their din
ners and then run away, but the good
brother knows they could not stay
away from the good dinners their sis.
ters prepared, if they couldn u remain
through the meeting It was one of the
best meetings held for long time, but
we hope to have many more. Among
those present from out Of town were
Mrs Orla Buxton, Forest Grove; Mr..

Stevens and Mr. Shiels, Gervais,
Among the Salem visitors were Mrs.
Lynch, police matron; Mr.. Jones,
councilman; little Henrietta Bishop,

her mother, Mrs. Mason Bishop, who
favored the grange with a solo.

possibility that the highway commits
