Put on the poles while wet and hang up at the window in their proper place. You will find that the curtains hang better and last much longer. CATHERINE B.

Rule for Baking Ham

T should like to give good rule for baking ham. For one ham take off all the rind and mix one tablespoon of mus tard with one cup of vinegar and two cups of water Pour this in roaster and lay the ham in it. Bake two hours or until done. Do not soak the ham, as the vinegar draws out the salt and imparts a fine flavor. I should like. to hear of some tried and true rules for making pound cake and tories. We had a Wilson pound cake for sale here last spring. It wts simply delicious. Perhaps some of was simply delicious. Perhaps some of same. MRS. M. H. B. N"

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sunday, May 3, was a red letter
day COR Berea. Has persons were
in the five Sunday schools Of the
city that day. On basis of 1900
for the population, including stud
ents about one half OF our people
were in the Sunday schools OF the
city.
DR.. Joplin, State Secretary of the
Kentucky Sunday School Associa-
ton, spent the day here. He visit
ed all of the Sunday schools, speak
ing briefly in each, preached at the
Union Chuch in the morning and lee
tured in the chapel at night on the
Sunday school convention at Zu-
rich. Berea is up to the mark SET
for the state as a whole in the proc
lamatiOn Of our Governor. Now
let the good work go on. The win
ter is over. Everybody can get out;
the Sunday schools have something

ING SESSION
Meets Next Year in Berea

4 special coach. in which there
We're thirty young people, left Berea
last Friday noon Ia attend the TWEEN
ly-fourth annual Kentucky State
Christian Endeavor Convention at
Frankfort. A representative of the
Frankfort city union met them at
the train and saw that they were
all properly taken care Of. The
doors of the homes were thrown
open To all, and more hospitality
could not be shown. At the open
ing session welcome to all visiting
endeavorers was given by Governor
McCreary, by Mayor Rupert of
Frankfort and by Rev. Andres, past
or of the Southern Presbyterian
Church at Frankfort. The spe akers
were of national and international
reputation. The music was the most
inspiring. Christian Endeavor is
certainly alive in Kentucky, and Be
rea is second in the state only in
numbers, but second to none in en-
thusiasm, spirit and work.
Berea endeavOrers feel greatly in
debted TO Mr.. G.. T.. Martin, the re-
firing State President. who did all
in his power to make everything
pleasant for them. They left Frank
fort with regret that the convention
was over, but came home with the
determination TO make next years

the best yet.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL

The college has this week pur-
chased the properties Of DR.. and
Mrs. Lewis A. Davis and Mr.. and
Mrs. Floyd Kidd on Center st., and
the properties Of Mrs. S. r. Baker
and Mrs. Jennie b. Fish on Richmond
Pike. The prices paid were very
large making this the biggest real
estate purchase which Berea has
known. II will put President Frost
in slavery for many months to pro-
vide the payments, the relieving
feature being that the college will
never have to buy land again
The transaction will lead to the
erection of three fine, new dwellings,
Mrs. Fish on the Dalton lot, DR.. Da-
Wis on the Rawlings lot and DR.. and
Mrs. Baker on their own lot on Pros
pect st. The college is to erect a
new business ediiice on Main Street
to be occupied by Mrs. Bakers store
below and Or. Bakers dental office
above. 1t is possible that the strain
occasioned by this purchase may
again delay the construction OF
Kentucky Hall.

will spend some $500 each year in

more important to prevent as much
as possible the absorption and cir
cuIation in the blood OF the tuber-
cuIous toxins. We know that any
undue exertion. particularly such
motions as involve the shoulders
and chest, and any exercise that
causes the pulse and breathing to
become faster, increases the amount
of blood flowing through the lungs.
Now in health this is often of great
benefit: hut during a recent or acute
tuberculOus process in the lungs,
such an increase of blood flowing
through them will cause an in
creased amount of pOisons to be
washed into the circulation and pro-

of appetite, pains and aches through

weakness.

between high mountain peaks in the

and life-giving qualities. All who
come here seem to be benefited al
most Immediately. ! feel better
than at any time since leaving Be-
rea. Ny temperature is down and
all my organs functiOnating in the
most normal manner. We plan to
spend the summer farther north, as
II may get pretty hot here, but ex-
cept for the three summer months,
we shall probably stay here two
years or more, or till my recovery
is complete. What a blessing
health is! Only those who have lost

many times would gladly have
gone and shoveled mud il I could
only have had my health. Fact is,
shoyeling mud looks very much like
fun to me now.
Our friends and their letters have
been a source Of great comfort dur

thank you all. After all friendship
is the biggest thing in the world and
the friendship based on the mutual
love Of Jesus Christ is the best Of
all. Write again all of you.

GERMAN PLAY

One Of the genuine treats of the
year was play given by members
Of the third year German class.

clrvcrly presented. The parts Of ia
cob and Wilhelm Iorn were admir-

increasing amounts Of anti-bodies,
provided also that a little time is al
lowed between these doses. Until,
therefore, our body has been trained
and has had time to form a greater
amount Of anti-bodies, we must try
and limit the doses Of the poisons as
much as possible by enforcing alb
solute and complete rest.
There is also a mechanical factor
in connection with the elements Of
rest. As long as the protective wall
Of scar tissue about the diseased spot
is still soft, any undue stretching or
expansion Of the chest might cause
this to be broken down at some
point, and allow new portions Of the
lung to be invaded by the disease.
When, however, in the course OF
time, the body has reached its nor
NAL weight and the process of repair
has been going on for some little
while, and when the balance be-
tween the degree Of infection and
the power of resistance is in favor
of the latter, graduated exercise
becomes a very important and nee
essary part of the general treat
ment. This has several purposes in
view. In the first place, it is OF
course a means Of recreation. For
many il is a great relief when they
can begin TO take a short walk after
the preliminary period of rest. With
increasing exercise there is often
Improvement of the appetite and an
increase in weight, where for some
time past the body weight has re-
manned stationary. A more import
ant function of exercise, however, is
to transform the soft body tissue
into good, strong muscle, in other
words. TO get it back Into condi-
ton" again. so that il will become
harder and firmer. All this takes
time. for the process is very
gradual one. If at this stage the pa
tient were to leave and resume a
life Of activity and hold any respOn-
SibIe position, he would run the al
most certain risk Of a recurrence or
relapse; and for that reason it is i'm
portant to begin some work while
still at the sanitOrium, where he
can be kept under observation and
where he can stop at once, if any
unfavorable symptoms occur. Here
he can increase the load gradually
as time goes on, so that by the time
he is ready TO leave, he has tried
out and tested his strength, and
there consequently is less risk OF
going back to his former life and
surroundings.
While the above methods of treat
ment seem very simple, their actual
application involves experience and
Judgment. We cannot follow fixed
rules in applying them to all cases.
We must consider every individual
separately. II is for that reason
that the home treatment of tubercu-
losis has seldom been able to pro-
duce the same results as the sana-
torium. The patient needs the SUI
pervision and care of doctor in
whom he has confidence and with
whom he is ready and willing to CO.
operate at all times and in all things.
In this way alone can success be
hoped for.
