But the most incredible result
in connection with this case was
that the lungs, after treatment,
were absolutely free from rales.
Another significant feature was
that the vocal cords, which, ac-
cording to the "case report,
were in a badly liberated con-
dition a month before, when the
patient was first seen, were now
absolutely clear. If this man

 LAX cured him. Read his statement.

Most people of sedentary occupa- tion such as Editors, Bookkeepers, of flee employees, stenographers and others who spend the lives indoors are more subject to the ravages of malaria than those who take large amount of exercise out of doors. MT. Shannon devotes much of his time to writing and was a great sui ferer from Bilious headaches until he took LIV-VER-LAX.
 On his own statement, this renown- ed remedy cured him, just as surely as it will cure you of Constipation or other malarial symptoms. These symptoms are the signals ahead of serious complications if not eliminat- ed.
 There is no compromise with ma laria. You must get it or it will get you. The ounce of prevention in the form of LIV-VER-LAX may save ev- en your life from Malaria, from which nearly every one in this climate suffers in a greater or less degree, de- velops rapidly when it once gets a hold on your system.

SAUER KRAUT FOR WINTER USE

One method for preserving cabbage for use during the winter when fresh vegetables are scarce is to make it up into sauer kraut. This German dish may be eaten raw, fried, boiled with pork with onions added, or with wienerwurst sausage and Drowned in oven, or cooked with spareribs.
 The departments assistant in girls demonstration work, who is endeavor- ing to aid the young women in rural communities to get the most good out of their vegetable products, recom- mends the following recipe for pre- serving cabbage in this manner:
 ..Sauer kraut or ''crOut."-Use 1 to 5 quarts salt to 20 gallons shredded slaw. Remove outside leaves and hard core of cabbage. Shred finely. Line the keg with the larger leaves on the bottom and sides as you fill it. Put in 3-inch layer of shredded cab bage and sprinkle with 4 or 5 table spoons salt. Continue to repeat this process, lining with the large leaves. Pound it all down we'll until the cask Is full and covered with the brine Cover with the, large leaves and a board cover to fit inside the cask Weight this cover down with heavy weight so it will keep the cover level. u IS necessary that all the cabbage De covered with the brine at all times. Keep In cool, dry cellar three weeks
The Prescott daily news., 1914-12-10

to a month. Remove the scum and see that the kraut is we'll covered with juice. When the weather is warm the kraut will cure in 16 to IS days, when it is ready for use or for canning.
 Stuffed baked cabbage and boiled cabbage, if properly prepared, are very decided additions to the family table and the departments specialist recommends the following methods of preparation for these dishes;
 Stuffed baked cabbage.-Nine sau- sages, l onion, 1 inch red pepper pod l square inch ham or slice of bacon, l tomato, head of cabbage, salt and pepper. Remove outer leaves of cab bage, soak in cold water one-half hour. Scald the head and the large leaves in boiling salt water with one third teaspoon soda for about 15 min utes. Make stuffing of the minced ham or bacon, like sausage, onion and tomato. Mix well and season, Lift cabbage from water, drain well and open carefully to the heart. Put in 2 or 3 tablespoons dressing, fold 7 or 3 leaves over this, then put in more dressing, and so on until cab bage is we'll stuffed. Place the outer leaves around the stuffed head, press together, and tie. Put into buttered dish pour over it cup white sauce seasoned with red pepper and little salt. Sprinkle top with buttered crumbs and bake until tender (about 15 to 25 minutes). Remove outer leaves; serve on a hot dish with the sauce.
 Boiled cabbage.-Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage cut into hal yes if small head, into quarters if a large head, and remove the tough stalk. Allow to soak in cold water about 15 minutes before dropping in- to vessel of boiling salted water to which you have added third tea spoon soda. Cabbage-in fact, all strong favored vegetables, such as turnips, onions, and caulifower- should be cooked in a large amount of water and be cooked uncovered This will prevent the disagreeable od- or during cooking. Cook about 3J minutes or until tender, the time vary ing with the size of the cabbage. Re move the water carefully, drain, sea son with salt, pepper, and butter, or a white sauce may be poured over the cabbage. Serve hot on hot dish.

it, for out of this condition there will be developed mental and a physical activity which will produce amazing results in the advancement of the life of the South.
 "Let no one outside for a moment imagine that the South is in poverty or that the South will be halted in its material advancement. The South is not. in poverty. It is amazingly well off, and only temporarily has its f. nancial strength been tied up by req son of it's inability to realize on one of the worlds best assets-a cotton crop that has for some years brought into this section a billion dollars or more year. This cotton is now be- coming like the stocks and bonds of Wall Street, tangible asset with which men are able to meet their ob- legations, giving to all ramifications of business the inspiration needed to stir and quicken business life.
 Every business concern in this country that has been doing business in the South, or had expected to do business in that growing section, ought to recognize the situation and fully realize that the halting was but for a moment, and that out of this tempo rary crisis will come a greater, a more progressive, more energetic and a richer South
 Every man in the South ought to draw new inspiration from the present conditions and have a stronger faith in his own section and in the way in which it can meet every emergency. Every man in this section with quick ened energy of mind and body should go forward with broader plans for the advancement of his own interests, whether they be agricultural conner cial, financial or industrial.
 "The lesson taught by the effect of the war will be worth to the South , many times its cost. No one for a moment need be disturbed by the fact that temporarily the lesson was a somewhat drastic one. Every emer- gency met or every new crisis faced and conquered means a broader man and a broader country. The South has met the crisis; it has met the res possibility of the hour, and it will move forward to mightier achieve ments than six months ago would have been deemed possible to expect for years to come The voice of the awakening South is heard clear and distinct: Forward-Marchw

II is in Africa that the big jackpot

taken from her.
