"NEPTUNE'S DAUGHTER"
Annette Kellerman, the Perfect Wo.
man Will Appear at the Lyric
March q.

Miss Ellen Larsen, manager ii
the Lyric theatre has booked won
derful attraction for March 6. She
has secured Annette Kellerman, the
perfect woman and company OF
1000 players in "Neptune's Daugh-
ter" There will be 5000 feet OF
wonderful pictures of gorgeous and
thrilling spectacles. 1t is an attrac-
ton which has been showing only in
the very large cities of this section
of the country, and Miss Larsen IS
certainly to be congratulated Oh Sc
curing such a s-upendous attraction
Thousands have heard Of this not
ed swimmer and actress, but very
few have ever seen her in her dar-
ing feats in the water. Miss Keller
man has earned the title of the Div
ing Venus" and her beautiful form
flashes thru the air like an arrow,
time after time as she follows the
call Vi ne wafer.
The mirror screen displays Miss
Kellerman's charms to perfection
and her movements in the water are
as clear as day. The picture is a
pictorial triumph Of beauty and
grace. The pictures cost lot of mo-
ney, but Miss Larsen believes in Civ
ing her patrons the best that it will
buy.
Another famous actress, Lillian
Russell, who has just entered the pic
ture field, will be shown at the Lyr-
ic soon. Very few towns the size
of DEBORAH have the privilege of en-
joying such high class picture pro
grams.

Good Recipe for Homemade Sausage

Make PORK sausage only from clean
fresh pork, says The Missouri VALLEY
Farmer. Use the shoulder, neck and
lean trimmings, three pounds of lean
Mix fat and lean together in chop
ping. If you use rotary cutter cut
the meat twice.
After it is cut the first time
spread the meat out thinly and sea
son. One ounce of fine salt, one-hali
ounce of ground black pepper and
one-half ounce pure leaf sage, rubbed
fine, to every four pounds of meat
suits the taste of most persons
Spreading this thinly over the meat
and running it again the cutter will
mix in the seasoning more thorough
ly than mixing with the hands. Saw
sage may be made from pork and
beef in almost any proportion.

STORK BUSY IN FEBRUARY.
History Notes That Large Number
Of NOtables Were Born i'm
February.

Although one naturally might
think he would pick more comforta-
BILE weather in which to fly around
over housetops, history shows us the
stork has been a busy old bird IN
Februaries that have passed. For
instance there are Horace Greedy,
Charles Dickens, w. T. Sherman,
William Henry Harrison, Abraham
Lincoln, Joe Jefferson, George Wash
ington, Victor Hugo, and Longfellow
who sent their first infant cries out
uron February night. Oregon,
Ohio, and Vermont also were born
in February.
To students Of the almanac, tie
second day of the month is the most
important of the twenty-eight This
is Ground Hog day, when the lit
tie rodent is supposed to come out
of his hole and take a look at the
weather Should the day be cloudy
that no shadows are cast, we may as
well grease up the spade and shar-
Zen the hoe, for Spring is come"
But if the mammal sees his shadow
he will go scampering back into his
hole and take all chances of spring
weather with him.
Our weather forecasts: The
month will open on the first. From
O'Clock a. M, to $3.50 p. M, fair,
followed by cold wave and warm, gen.
tie rain. Second to Ord, warm, fol-
lowed by sleet and snow storm on
the 4th. Fifth, dry and sultry. Sixth
still dry, but better take your UNI
brella along. Seventh, hip boots and
macintosh. These DEMONSTRATION
for the first week, if memorized, will
serve throughout the month and will
come as near being correct as any
other indications" obtainable. The
best thing about February weather
is that there are only twenty eight
days of it.

Fine Gift to Hospital.

The congregation of the Norwegian
synod church presented very ap-
probable gift to the DEBORAH Hospi-

aaIlndry outfit, consisting of wash
ttzr, mangler, ETC., and all other ac-
'sossories which go to make up a
complete laundry, and the machin-
cry will all be run by electricity. 1t
surely is most substantial gift,
and much appreciated by the hospi-
tai authorities, and the synod con-
Eregation is deserving of much
thanks.

Missouri IS Live Stock Market.
The importance Of Missouri as a
live stock state is shown BY the fact
that in the years 1918 and 1914. 90.
S16.41S heads Of cattle, calves, hogs.
sheep and horses were received at
the two St. Louis stock yards, the one
in Kansas City and one in St Joseph,
but there was a falling of in the to-
tai receipts in 1914 as compared with
1913, Of 1880 head. The 1914 re-
ceipts totaled 1~4,S29.1S2 head, and
1918 showed receipts of 15,4S7,2S1
These figures have just been made
public in a bulletin issued by the
bureau o labor statistics.
This vast quantity Of live stock
comes chiefly from states west Ct the
Mississippi river, and as far north
as Canada for sheep, and as far south
as Texas for cattle, with hogs coming
mostly from Missouri, Illinois, Ne
braska, Kansas. Oklahoma and Tex,
as. Illinois and Indiana also con
tributed some of the live stock which
arrived at the st. Louis yards, and sc
did Kentucky and Tennessee. The
decrease in 1914 was principally in
cattle, hogs and sheep.
No statistics are available to show
the amount of cattle, calves, hogs Of
sheep prepared for consumption by
the small packing and slaughter
houses scattered all over the state
The quantity killed on farms by Mis-
souri, farmers for either home con
sumption Or for sale to the surround
ing villages is unknown, as no infor

Ever since the discovery of uric acid
in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood OF
this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. 1t was DR.. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent, called "Anuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
