How to Cireumvsnt Troublesome
Dampness.
There are TO be had in the shops
small glass salt shakers that are fitted
with glass perforated tops that screw
into position. These are especially use
full in the damp days that always come
In the spring after the furnace fires
are first discontinued, for II Is then
that salt becomes moist and sticky
As the salt collects the moisture in the
air II causes the silver top OF the salt
shaker to oxidize. Every housekeeper
knows that II Is physical impossible
ity TO keep silver topped salt shakers
bright in damp weather, and this is the
reason. The little glass topped shak-
ers obviate this trouble and are a time
saving introduction.
There are many ways Of keeping salt
from sticking in damp weather. One
way Is to mix the sat with cornstarch
or -four; but. of course. this weakens
the saline quality Of the substance In
the salt dish. A better way Is to put
half dozen kernels Of rice in the salt
in each shaker. This rice absorbs, to
some extent, the moisture and so keeps
the salt moderately dry. II Is hardly
expedient 10 use kernels of rice in
open salt dishes, and in these -four or
cornstarch Is the best thing. 1t is a
good plan to keep salt dishes or all
descriptions in a warm, dry place be
tween meals. This will do much to
keep them from collecting dampness
The SAG should be changed whenever
1t seems sticky. 1t can be dried and
used in cooking.
Cheesecloth bags filled with charcoal
which collects moisture, should be hung
about in damp places. The charcoal
can be dried IN the oven from time TO
time to keep it in good condition.
Charcoal can be kept in boxes or jars
Of cereals to collect moisture and keep
them dry.
Keep waters and crackers and other
things that easily become soggy where
Il is warm. If there is coal fire in
the kitchen the shelf over the kitchen
stove is a good place TO keep things
that should be crisp and dry. In a
kitchen that has gas stove only they
can be dried out occasionally In the
oven,

SOUTH DORSET

Hay Is a fair crop. Oats, corn and
potatoes look good. We have had
several good showers and the roads
are not very dusty.
Everybody who wants to entertain
city bcarders are full. Flocks Of
women and children are seen daily
going to and coming from the berry
lots.
The NJ. d. & G. X. r., is having
lot Of new ties put in this season. The
road continually threatens to go on
up TO Granville, but fails TO start as
yet.
Uncle Eber Taylor in the Journal
of July %, 1914, seems TO be some ex-
cited. The editor is about right as
we understand II up here. Those
auto accidents were two sad happen
ines. in which the drivers ,eem to
have done all they could do to help
the unfortunate. But as both cases
are in court | do not wish to be one
to take sides in it. But Uncle Eber's
TRADE against our elected officers
whose business it is to enforce the
laws, let me say, that Uncle Eber has
been one of the Board of Authority
of Manchester and he made very
good one, yet he did not squeleh
crime or make the drinkers throat
and tongue as dry as dust. Uncle
Eber knows full well that many of our
laws are very unpopular among many
of our people and the officer who
goes out of his way to find trouble,
usually gets it. "You can lead q
horse to water, but you cannot make
him drink, is an old and true saying.
Also you can pass acres of laws but
YOU cannot put them in force as the
people wont stand it. To enforce
laws that fine enc class of people for
doing what others go scott free for
doing. A law to be honored and en-
forced must be fair and equal to us
all. Uncle Eber knows this; he has
tried it out and he didn't succeed any
better than some of us do at present.
After the two accidents in Rupert
people got frantic and comp aints
poured into the prosecutors hands.
Hanging was mild form of death to
all auto drivers. People were exas-
perated like Uncle Eber. Lots of
names were given of fast drivers and
the grand juror notified in writing a
lot of them to call and see him. They
did so and had talk, since then auto
mobiles have run under the speed
limit. No one was fined, no hard
feeling engendered and the law is
obeyed. As class the auto drivers
are sober gentlemen, accommodating
and courteous. | wish we had more
such. But dogs, hens, pigs, or per-
sons who stay in the middle of the
road are liable to get run over.

HANDICAPPED
This is the Case with Many Manches-
ter People

Too many Manchester citizens are
handicapped with bad backs. The up-
ceasing pain causes constant misery,
making work a burden and STOPPING
or lifting an impossibility. The back
aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff and
lame. Plasters and liniments may
give relief but cannot reach the cause
if the kidneys are weak. To eliminate
the pains and aches of kidney back
ache you must cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for dis
ordered kidneys.
The following statement should
convince every Manchester reader of
their efficiency.
James Kennedy, Manchester Center,
VT, says: For years my back and
kidneys bothered me and the trouble
became so bad at times that ] could
hardly stoop or straighten. Mornings
when | first got up, my back was lame
and stiff and pains extended from my
kidneys into my loins and hips. The
kidney secretions were unnatural and
| was really in bad shape when ] be-
gan using Doans Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Pettibone's Pharmacy. They
helped me at once and it was not long
before they had fixed me up in good
stape. My back was strengthened,
the pains were removed and my health
was restored"

A man on his first trip into the wilds

they have to escape from the attack OF
wasps and hornets. The country trav-
ersed Is generally covered with thick

through this all along the line. So
when big wasp nest is reached there
is very little warning, sometimes the
axmen cutting into big one with their
machetes.
The person relating this experience
was some sixty feet behind the axmen
with the instrument when all at once
the two axmen dropped in their tracks
as II they had been struck by thun-
derbolt. The man behind and the two
chainmen did likewise. While they
were lying prone on the grass and wet
marsh they heard what sounded Ike
bullets zooing over their heads. One
after the other they came with angry
zips. When things bad quieted down
a bit work was continued. and the new
man found that TO escape from wasps
or hornets the thing 10 do was to drop
instanter. The insects seem to be so
mad that they fy In straight lines
