AS you are aware, Fort Madison
has recently located three substantial

Of the total sum represented by their

You WILL Of course, realize that the
values represented in these percent

a certain amount of banking credit.
It should not be forgotten, however,
that the location Of suitable indus

real estate in and about town and
that the aggregate increase in values
should be far in excess of the compar-

HAMS CT wEsTPHALia.
Processes BY Which They Are Cured
and Favored.

The famous Wcstphaian hams,
which are eaten without cooking. are
cured by an elaborate process that has
been worked out patiently ana skill
fully by generations of expert work
men. writer in the New York Sun
thus describes the process:
After being rubbed thoroughly with
n solution in which there are 100
pounds of salt TO one pound of salt
peter. the hams are placed Oh cement
floors, or in vats. and thickly strcwn
with salt They lie under salt for two
weeks and then pass TO n vat that con-
tains a % per cent solution of brine.
They remain In that solution for eight
cen days Every day they are shift
ed in the vat; the hams on the bottom
are brought TO the top, and vice versa.
At the end OF the eighteen days fhe
hams are packed, one upon another,
in cool dry cellar, where they re-
main for four weeks, in order to ripen
that Is, to take ON color and become
tender. Then the salt is washed off
with n stiff brush dipped in lukewarm
water, and the hams are put to soak
for twelve hours in fresh water. After
that they are ready for the smoke
house.
The smokehOuses are two or three
stories high. with holes bored in the
flooring. The fires are kindled on the
ground floor and the meat is hung on
the second and third floors. The fires
ARE made entirely of beech wood, but
the workmcn constantly throw juniper
berries and juniper twigs on the en-
bers. The lire burns brightly. 1t is
checked with beech wood sawdust
whenever it burns too briskly.
The smoking continues for about
eight days. Under the ancient curing
methods, however, the hams We're Of
ten kept in the smoke rooms for six
weeks, and it is by this latter method
that the best hams are still made by
the country folk of Westphalia.

WHAT A MAN READS.
It Is Big Factor In Determining His
Course of Life.

A certain low form OF aquatic ami
nal life anchors itself to q rock and
feeds on whatever the current brings.
The average man feeds his mind 10
much the same way. He falls into
line for current amuscments. He reads
only current literature. He listens to
what happens to go by. He makes but
little systematic attempt to shut out
the unfit or to put Himself in line for
the fit.
The result is defective grade of hui
man life that rarely eicvates society
and often degradcs it. Ii man would
make the most of himself. and that IS
manifestly the supreme purpose forf
which he was put into the world, II is
worth his while TO do his daily work,
where unclean things. mental and phys
ical. are not made common
1t makes good deal of difference in
the worth of the man today as to
whether his reading last night was
Hamlet" and Isaiah" or THE Other
Mans Wife," whether he went to the
art institute or the burlesque show.
An ancient teacher of well balanced
mind gave this direction to his disci-
pies as to the topics TO be selected for
deliberate thought:
FINALLY. my brethren, Whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are
honorable, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure. whatso-
ever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report, if there be
any virtue and if there be any praise.
think on these things"
TO think on these things one must
see and hear these things. To see and
hear these things one must make an
effort to do so.-AIinneapolis Journal.
