THINGS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW

One peck of apples weighs twelve
and one-half pounds; one peck OF car
rots, sweet potatoes or turnips weighs
thirteen and three-fourths pounds;
one peck of onions weighs fourteen
and one-half pounds; one peck of po-
tatoes or beets weighs fifteen pounds;
one quart of string beans or dried
peaches weighs one pound and one
ounce; one quart of dried peas weighs

cellent remedy for asthma in some
cases; that ii often succeeds admir-
ably where everything else has failed,

black coffee; weak coffee does more
harm than good; an ounce (about two
tablespoons FULL of very strong coffee
is enough, and large quantity is a
positive disadvantage, for the large
quantity is less rapidly absorbed, and
serves to distend the stomach. The
coffee should be taken straight"

ing empty. II taken on full stom-
ash it il said to stop digestion. II
is also claimed that with some people,
coffee taken at mealtime, especially
late in the day, is very apt TO induce
asthma.
Overripe fruit will seldom "jell"
because the jellying principle, called
pectin, has been changed to pectose;
pectin is found in all fruits, and for
this reason, some fruits stiffen into
jelly very quickly, while others will
hardly form more than a stiff syrup.
Fruit for jelly should be gathered in
dry times, as, after heavy rain, it
will not jell so easily. > very good
way to make jelly is to mix the juice
of acid fruits with that of mild fruits.
The sugar should always be little
less in quantity than the fruit juices.
In a very hot season, less sugar is
needed, because there is more sugar in
the fruit itself than when the weather
is cold or damp.

HORSES AND BARN BURNED

Jamison's barr was struck by light
ming and bu' ,ed to the ground in
exceedingly short time, says the Hale
Hustler. There were three horses, one
colt, two buggies, foursets of har-
ness, about four tons Of hay and
about sixty bushels of oates in the
barn, and all were destroyed. The
horses were undoubtedly killed by
the lightning as Mr.. Jamison reached
the barn within two minutes after il
was struck and not sound from the
animals was heard. The barn seem
ed to be afire on the entire inside
almost instantly and not thing
could be moved. Mr.. Jamison
carried insurance or the horses. barn
and contents to the amount of $3.50,
but this will not cover the loss.

LOST-A CLAPPER. THE CUR
FEW SHALL NOT RING
TONIGHT"

The Board of Aldermen of our
neighboring city Of Crystal City at
their meeting held recently, passed
curfew law. The bell Of Grace
Church was to have been rung
promptly at 900 p. M, and young
sters were supposed to HE them
selves to home and mamma as the
bell sounded forth the warning. We
say was to have been rung for the
ringing has failed TO materialize for
a very good reason. For said youths
while the law was being passed, di-
vined the purpose of said law, and
quietly slipped into the sacred edi-
fee, climbed the belfry and re-
moved the clapper, and that night
and on each night since, the curfew
has failed to sound. The favorite
song of Crystals resourceful boys
now is.-"Curfew shall not ring to-
nipht."-Tri-City Independent.

ST. LOUIS PARCEL
POST BUSINESS

The parcel post business has
shown a marked increase since April
9th, when the campaign to bring
producers and consumers closer to-
gether was started in that city. The
first list of producers was distribut-
ed on April 9Th, and it resulted in
a GO percent increase in that class
of business, says Postmaster Selph.
During the first week 5000 more
parcel post packages were handled
than during normal previous weeks,
and the monthly increase was 10000
packages. The postmaster says
that farmers have quoted prices con
siderably cheaper than those offered
by retail dealers, ard that the con-
sumers are glad to take advantage
Of them-Wallaces Farmer.

ELECTION LAWS

The last legislature passed new
election law, which has caused con-
siderable comment over the state
as its first application will be made
this year. The bill will be found
on pages 324-5 of the laws of 1913
and is in reference to travelling to
travelling men railroad employees and
students voting on election day wher-
ever they may be. The bill is rath-
er cumbersome and ambiguous to
the extent that its work in force
probably will not amount to very
much. The title reads that absent
voters from st. Louis county and st.
Louis City only will be permitted
this privilege, but surely the intent
Every absent voter Offering to vote
any other place than his home must
first make an affidavit before the
election judges that he is qualified
voter at his home ward or precinct.
The ballots of such voters are not
put in the ballot boxes nor enter
ed on the poll books but together
with the affidavit must be placed by
the judges in an envelope and sealed
and sent to the county clerk who
forwards it to the voters home.
Thus if u drummer out of st. Louis
happens to be in st. Francois coun-
ty on election day he casts his vote
here for his choice of officers at
home, and his ballot is returned to
his home and counted there, of
course his ballot is not counted in
this county for local officers as he
does not live here. The law also
reads that this is permitted only
as general election. The work
ing of this law will not increase
the vote Of this county on account
of its large transient vote as the
ballots do not go in the ballot boxes
but are sent to the voters home.

TAKE PLENTY OF TIME TO EAT.

There is a saying that "rapid eating
is slow suicide II you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you
are most likely suffering from indi-
gestion or constipation, which will
result eventually in serious illness I'M
less corrected. Digestion begins in
the mouth. Food should be thorough
ly masticated and insalivated. Then
when you have fullness of the
stomach or feel dull and stupid after
eating, take one of Chamberlaiu's
Tablets. Many severe cases of stom-
ach trouble and constipation have
been cured by the use of these tablets.
They are easy to take and most agree
able in effect. Sold by all dealers.adv

Warden W. V. Choisser Of the south

The Scott county ticket has on it
the name of Mrs. Fannie StubbIeficld
for Recorder of Deeds, says the
Bloomfield Vinricator, subject to the
Democratic party. While this is rath-
err unusual, we see no reason why
she should not make as able and eff
ficient an official as a man, provided
she possesses the necessary qualifi-
cations.
