General Trade Conditions.

Dun's review says: The great ad-
vance in the price Of wheat, due pri-
marily to the urgent world demand,
is e%nriching the agriculturists of the
west and is contributing to increased
commercial prosperity in this section,
though the violence of the movement
produces some concern as to its other
effects. The recent rise in cotton
with expansion of exports, has re.
duced in considerable degree the
sharp depression in the south caused
by the war.
The strength of the financial situa
ton increases every day and this i'm
parts a sense of security and courage
to enterprises everywhere.
Bank exchanges for the week were
$2,912,449,146, a decrease of 1875 pei
cent from last year.
Wheat exports were 7,226,514, az
compard with 2,773,332 last year.

them Is her recipe for Boston oyster
stew, which follows:
put m quart OF oysters in a col

cupful of cold water. Carefully pick
over oysters, remove tough muscles
from half of them. and slightly chop
remaining half with removed tough

sureen with o~ne-fourth cupful of but
ter, one-half tablespoonful of salt, and
o%ne-eighth teaspoonful of pepper. Add
oyster liquor. strained a second time,

Hiding Holes In Wall Paper.

Not long ago a woman, who wished
to hide an unsightly nail hole in her
white striped wall paper, found that
the hole would just accommodate a
short stick of white chalk which, when
put in. seemed to do very well FOR
filler.
Vinegar will moisten plaster of paris
better than water in using 1t to stoI
up a hole or crack. It is easier to
manipulate, as the vinegar makes II
more like putty. 1t does not dry out az
soon as water. The mixture will moi
harden until you are through han
ding 1t.

HOW TO SUCCEED

During the last few years, condi-
tons in all lines of business, even pro-
fessional life have changed so COM
pletely that every man is waking up
to the fact that in order to win sue
cess he must specialize and learn to
do some one thing and do it well.
So it is with any article that is sold
to the people. 1t must have genuine
merit or no amount of advertising will
maintain the demand for the article.
For many years druggists have
watched with much interest the re-
markable record maintained by DR..
Kilmer's Syamp-Root, the great Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. From
the very beginning the proprietors
had SO much confidence in it that they
invited every one to test 1t.
1t is a physicians prescription.
They have on file thousands of un-
solicited letters received from former
sufferers who claim they are now en-
joying good health as a result of its
use.
However, if you wish first to try a
sample bottle, address DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y, enclose ten
cents and mention this paper. They
will promptly forward you a sample
bottle by Parcel Post.

HINTS FOR PRESERVE CLOSET
Picked Peaches Should by All Means
Be Among the Condiments Stored
Branded Cherries.

Picked peaches are a dinner con-
diment of unparalleled excellence
Many people prefer picked fruit to
the sweeter jellies and preserves and
the good housekeeper always puts up
picked dainties as we'll as preserves,
jellies and jams for her w~ell-stocked
winter fruit closet.
Here is a tried and true recipe for
picked peaches: To seven pounds OF
selected peaches allow half as many
pounds of graduated sugar, n quart
of vinegar, two ounces each Of stick
cinnamon and cloves. Mssolve the
sugar in the hot vinegar, add the
spices and boil for six minutes; add
the peaches and boil slowly until the
peaches have become soft enough to
be pierced easily by a fork. Turn
out the fruit and boil the strip down
to one-half. Now put in the peaches
again and let the whole Just come to
a boil. Pour into a deep crock and
cover when cold.
A Virginian housekeeper recon-
mends this recipe for branded cher
ries: Cover large, oxheart cherries
which have been stoned with some
excellent brandy and let stand for Al
hours. Add to the mixture sugar in
a proportion Of pound for pound. Dc
not cook, but seal in glass jars and
set away in a cool, dry place. These
cherries are delicious for garnishine

They may also be served in home

More Uses for Salt.

A pinch of salt thrown on eggs will
make them beat lightly in about half
the time usually required. When
broiling steak over a coal fire sprinkle
a little salt on the burning Goals and
the flame will not blaze up and scorch
the steak. If you are broiling meat
In a gas oven and it catches fire,
quickly turn the gas off and throw a
handful of salt on the blazing meat.
You do not need to use any water.
The salt will put out the fire and you
can then scrape off the salt from the
meat.
