How to Make Economical Soup.

~ CUP stock is the foundation OF
all soups, and the wise, eco
nomical housewife will keep q
quantity of this on hand. The
clear soup is made of the cheaper cuts
OF fresh meat and bones. The bones
and trimmings of roasts should always
be utilized (the bones should be crack.
ed. They add greatly to the strength
and thickness of the soup. If used in
abundance the stock will become a
jelly when cold.
The stock is prepared by boiling and
extracting the meat juices. The cheap
er portions of meat are used. The
shin bone is often bought, but the neck
makes a stronger and more nutritious
soup than any other part of the ami
NAL.
One pound of meat and bones-the
meat cut small, the bones cracked-is
the allowance for one quart of water.
Allow this to simmer for four or five
hours in a covered kettle. Never al
low it to boil rapidly. Use more boil
ing water if needed. Skim carefully
from time to time. Do not salt until
the meat is tender, as this tends to
tougher it. Add salt, a little pepper,
strain through sieve or jelly bag and
pour in fruit jars. Then put it ON ice.
The fat will form a cake on top when
the stock is cold. This will help to
preserve the stock. Remove the fat
when ready to use the stock.
To make soup of this use a portion
Of the jelly, add water and ingredients.
such as rice, barley, macaroni, noodles
or vegetables and seasoning.
Another way is to add the seasoning
to the stock, such as small onion
stuck with four or I'VE cloves, several
bay leaves, one-half teaspoonful of
thyme, three carrots and stalk of
celery or half a teaspoonful Of celery
seed. This takes time to make. but
one has the foundation and substance
for many soups.

new PERFUME BOTTLES.
How to Make Stand For Small Cologne
Bottle.


Most women like to have bottle Of
eau de cologne on their dressing table,
for, apart from the refreshing toilet
properties of this scent, 1t is exceeding
ly useful in case of sick headache or
sudden attack of faintness. A little
stand accompanying it has many mer-
Its, for it not only provides touch Of
dainty coloring for ones bedroom, but
also keeps the bottle from being easily
knocked over and broken.
Scent bottles are made in standard
sizes, SO before commencing to make
the stand procure the bottle of eau de
cologne. Then take careful measure
ments, and your case will fit properly
and can be refilled at will. To make
the stand cut a round of stiff card
board three inches larger in diameter
than the bottle and another strip Of
cardboard which when Joined will al
low the bottle to be lifted in and out
with ease.
Cover both the surfaces with fancy
silk or ribbon and line with either the
same silk or piece Of thin white sat
In. Oversew all the edges and then
stitch the upright portion of the case
to the center of the base. The over
sewed edges are trimmed with fine cord
and spray Of artificial flowers or a
smart bow of ribbon attached to the
stand. Let the case be i'm keeping
with the character of the scent. For
instance, bottle of violet extract
could be incased in mauve figured silk
or embossed velvet and decorated with
q bunch of ribbon violets.

Digging For Pipe Bowls.

Meerschaum is extracted in pre-
cisely the same way as coal. Pits
from twenty-five feet to 125 feet
deep are dug, and as soon as the
vein is struck horizontal galleries,
sometimes Of considerable length,
are made, though more than two
galleries are seldom to be found in
one pit. When taken out of the
mine meerschaum is soft enough
to be easily cut with a knife. 1t is
embedded in layer of red clay sew
eral inches thick, and in this state
it is sold to the dealers.-London

IMPORTATION
FOR FARMERS
Continued from Page y


A farmer is not entitled to a de-
dnction for his labor, or for expense
of feeding live stock. He may,
however, deduct such items as
cost of fertilizer and other supplies
and materials which are used up
in the course of his operations.
The law provides that for the
year 1913 the tax shall be compu-
ted only ON the net income for the
ten months from Mar. 1st to De-
cember 31st, and that returns
shall be made on the basis of five
sixths of the year. Therefore, if
the net income for the last ten
months of 1918 amounts to 81, 500
or more a return on form 1O4O is
required. For the ten months of
1913 every single person is allowed
$500 exemption and in the case
of husband and wife, living to-
gether $3,333.33 exemption. In
computing the net income for this
period deductions should be made
for only fiye-sixths of the amounts
properly allowable for the whole
year. Returns for 1913 must be
made by March 1st, 1914.

HELD MEETING
Most Interesting and Largest At

ion met at the courthouse Satllr-
day and was the largest attended
OF any previous meeting. The
president, c. F. Hughes, presided.
Herbert Redwine being the Secre-
tary.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
A motion was made to grant Alb
Beaver and John Warner the
privilege to transfer their mem
bership from Holt Union to any

The big feature of the meeting
was the address before the BODY
by r. E. Ottinger on education.
His address was well received and
the members of the Union were
greatly enlightened on many SUBJ
jects. Mr.. Ottinger is well up on
educational matters and it would
be well for other members to take
the same active interest in this
work.

BRAINS DULLED BY
CONSTIPATION
Some People Only Half Alive;
Dodson's Liver Tone Cleans
You Out and Wakes You Up.

When constipation is having its
evil effects on your body and
brain, Nature is doing her best to
offset them and overcome the
cause itself. But usually Nature
cannot do this unaided.
In the past, many sufferers at
such time used to turn to dan
gerous calomel in hope Of relief.
For some people calomel does ap-
pear to give temporary benefit,
but as a matter of fact it is a poi
son that proves to be injurious
and even dangerous to many. If
you have ever taken calomel you
probably have suffered from evil
conditions following its use.
But nowadays great numbers
of people have learned how to
feel better, brighter and healthier
by taking Dodson's Liver Tone
instead of calomel. Indeed, this
harmless vegetable liquid is re-
commended and guaranteed by
Smith Drug Co., Newport, Tenn,
who will refund the purchase
price to you without question if
you are not completely satisfied
with it.
Get a bottle of DodSon's Liver
Tone for only Soc, and learn for
yourself how easily and naturally
it assists Nature in getting rid of
and correcting constipation and
biliousness, how it clears away
the sick headache and coated
tongue and sets you right without
ache or gripe, without any inter-
ference with your regular habits.
Fine for the children. They like
to take it. Adv.

The honor of inventing chess has

persons have been mentioned as

AMIABLE ENEMIES.
Our RattIesnakes Are sociabe, but
Extremely Connected.

The American rattlesnake is real
ly one of the most human of living
creatures, says Professor Marley
an English naturalist of wide re-
pute. He is a sociable, amiable
enemy. But he is also extremely
conceited. He knows that he pos
sesses death dealing power and
is consequently of the opinion that
because of this he should be con-
sidered the terror of the wilderness.
Other animals understand perfectly
how he regards himself, the chad
man" of the region, and they recog-
nize his terrible power. For this
reason they have had to study his
limitations, which he in his egotism
is blind to.
The rattlesnake gets irascible OF
occasions, Professor Manley goes on
to say. He becomes most cross when
his vanity has been wounded. But
ne rarely bites a human being ex-
cept when he is of the opinion that
his own personal safety requires it.
Neither does he 60 out hunting
trouble. His social instincts lead
him to seek the same comforts with
which men surround themselves,
and if men would only leave him
alone he would not object to their
company at all.
Dogs are perhaps the most dam
gerous enemy the naughty RATHER
has to face. Together with hogs
they are the only species of ami
NAL that are almost entirely inn
mune to the venom of the RATHER.
Oftentimes a shepherd dog will
come out badly bitten and used up
from his first encounter with rat
tier and have to be taken care of
Tor days by his master. Afterward,
though, he becomes wiser and in
due time develops into an adept at
the art of killing his enemy.
The cat is by far the cleverest of
all at playing with the RATHER and
outwitting him at his own game.
He seems to be aware, too, that puss
is making fun of him, and she
therefore succeeds in working him
up into terrible rage. She has
no trouble at all in inducing the
snake to coil, and then she cautious
ly stretches out forepaw in his d.
rection. He becomes furious and
strikes, but her paw is not there, for
of the two the cat is infinitely the
quicker.
Coyotes are much the same in
their dealings with their common
enemy, playing on the weaknesses
of the snake for their own pleasure
for long lengths of time. Horses
are not nearly so clever or wise in
their dealings. Of course one rear
ed on the range will avoid rattler
as mule avoids work, and at the
dread sound of the rattles will leap
and shy. Eastern horses taken west
DO not know so much at first, though
thew speedily learn.
There seems apparently no uni
formity in the rafting. If the
snake is in bad humor he will rat
tie even when there is no sign of
an enemy about. Usually, however,
he will not rattle unless he is great
" concerned. = Springfield Repub-
ican.
