sacred rites Of marriage the eugenic
law is a success. AS a promoter of
decency it is bound to fail; as pro-
moter of health, it is a doubtful meas
ure. III any event, the law should be
repulsive to the instincts Of a free
and refined people.
The eugenic law Of Wisconsin and
other states is just a manifestation Of
the managing" spirit which shows it
self in other directions in different
sections. The law of nature is the
best eugenic law ever devised; sickly
people who marry suffer the penalty
in sickly children, and these in turn
die off; thus nature enforces her law.
The man who becomes a drunkard
through a failure to control his appe-
tite pays the penalty under natures
laws. and they are sufficient TO pun
ish him; the man or woman who over
taxes the digestive organs pays for
it under natures laws; the person
who takes insufficient sleep suffers
for it under natures laws; the man
who makes business his god goes the
way of nervous prostration under the
same memorable laws.
Nevertheless the Almighty, in fix
ing these memorable laws, violation of
" hich is followed by the penalty, left
man a free agent. After showing
man that violation brought punish
ment, he gave man the liberty of
obeying or not as he elected to do;
therefore when man, going further
than the All-Wise Creator, enacts
eugenic laws, prohibition laws and
other restrictive laws, his statutes, be-
ing without authority from God. are
resented and fail Of their aim.
As an educative campaign, eugenics
is splendid, temperance great move
ment-as legal enactments they rest
upon a false foundation and are DOOM
ed to ultiamte failure.

The fat used may be olive oil, cot
ton-seed oil, cottolene, lard or per
haps a mixture; but be sure the fat
is not rancid. Never fry any food in
the fat in which fish has been fried. To
keep the foods from absorbing fat,
they should be covered with egg
((slightly beaten) and bread or crack
err crumbs, or have some egg mixture
in them. Place articles to be cooked
in a bath of hot fat, deep enough to
float them. The kettle should be Of
iron: a frying basket or an egg whisk
may be use in handling the food.
Foods already cooked need a high
err temperature than uncooked foods.
The temperature Of the fat for oys-
tiers. croquettes, fsh-balls, etc, may
be tested by placing a small cube of
bread in the fat and if it browns in
forty seconds it is of proper heat; if
cube of bread browns in sixty sec
onds it is of proper hear for fritters,
etc. All the articles cooked must be
drained on unglazed paper or an old
table linen. When one quantity of
food has been taken from the fat, re-
heat it. Fat which has been used for
frying should be cooled and clarified
by cooking a few slices of raw pota-
toes in it for ten minutes, strain
through cheese cloth over sieve cover.
Fat may be used several times for
frying and then made into soap.

II you eat meat, then you have uric
acid in your blood. And uric acid Is the
chief cause of weak kidneys. The kid
neys do their utmost to free the blood
of irritating uric acid, but it is a losing
fight for them. They become weak from
the overwork. They get sluggish; the
elirninative tissues clog and thus the work
of filtering the blood is performed very
poorly and the waste Is retained to poison
the entire system. -
When your kidneys throb with dull
ache, when they feel like Jumps of lead,
when you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness. tired feel
ing, constipation and bladder disorders,
you can make up your mind that these
troubles come from weak, sluggish kid

You can help the weakened kidneys and
put them in good working order again
