Claim Prophecy Fulfilled.

A conference of Bible students held
recently at Keswick, N. j., revived an
ancient prophecy concerning Egypt.
the literal fulfillment of which, they
asserted, has been borne out in his
tory. The prophecy is found in Eze-
kiel 29:13-15 and 30:13. Part Of
it reads as follows: 1T shall be
the basest of kingdoms, neither shall
it exalt itself any more above the
nations, for shall diminish them that
they shall no more rule over the ma
tions and there shall be no
more a prince of the land of Egypt;
and I will put fear in the land of
Egypt" Since this prophecy was
written, said one of the speakers,
Egypt has been ruled by the Babylo-
mans, the Romans and the Turks.
and now it has passed under the abb
solute sway of England. Yet Egypt
once was the greatest and richest of
the worlds nations.

SOME KITCHEN KINKS
METHODS THAT MAY BE NEW TO
MANY HOUSEWIVES.
Tiles Always Best When One Can
Afford Them-keepins the Dish.
cloth Fresh-Linoleum for the
Floor Covering.

Tiles are so clean and nice II one Ia
able to afford them. The young wife
who has them will never regret the
outlay, although they are rather ex-
pensive at the start. Round the kitch-
en- walls they are splendid and most
hygienic in every way.
The back of the sink is bound to get
splashed with the washing up after
each meal. Therefore here 1t is es-
sential to have either tiles or zinc or
something Of the kind through which
the water cannot penetrate. Zinc an.
swers the purpose quite well If secure
easily cleaned daily with little dry
brickdust
The tiles, of course. are ideal, as
all they need is a washdown with
warm water daily.
A little enamel basket Is so useful
in the sink for tea leaves and such
things which are more than likely
to go down the sink and eventually
stop it up. 1t is shaped so that 1t fits
into the corner of the sink. perforated
with holes, so that all liquid passes

basket.
Nothing is more unpleasant than a
greasy dishcloth. To keep this I'M
portant article fresh and sweet, 1t
should be scalded each time after use,
or else washed out thoroughly in hot
water and rinsed we'll in several wa.
ters.
A plate rack fixed above the sink is
a great saving of labor. Plates put in
the rack must be rinsed in cold water
after being washed in hot, II you do
not want them to be smudgy.
Plenty of hot water is essential for
dish washing. Collect all the silver.
Place the knives blade downward in a
jug of hot water. Pile up the plates
neatly. A little arrangement saves
the muddle one so often sees in con-
nection with washing up. Wash all
the cleanest things first to save the
water Rinse glass in cold water after
washing in hot and polish we'll with a
dry. clean cloth.
The most useful and healthy floor
covering for the kitchen is linoleum.
Inlaid linoleum is the best to pur-
chase. Here the pattern goes right
through and therefore will be perfect
to the last.
Clean your windows when the sun
is not shining, for II the sun shines
on a wet window no amount Of rub
bing will prevent 1t from being streaky
when dry. Avoid a frosty day. too,
as the glass is apt to break easily
then. Dust the windows thoroughly.
Wash the glass with sponge wrung
out in tepid water with few drops
of ammonia in 1t. Dry with a clean
cloth with no fluff on iD. Polish
with pads of newspaper.

Christian Temperance Union.)
IN WEST VIRGINIA.


A passenger conductor of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad writes
to Hon. Fred o. Blue, state tax com.
missioner of West Virginia, as fol-
lows: Il was doubtful, as was every
body else, as to the effect such a law
would have. must confess that the
immediate effect has been almost be-
yond belief. We have now passed
several pay days and Saturdays, and
there has been absolutely no drinking
worth mentioning, and where I had to
endure personal risk in fist encounters
almost every week to secure order
from some drunks, now handle even
larger crowds with comparative ease.
The women and children are now trav-
cling, partly on the money that was
spent for booze and partly because
they are not afraid to travel. The re-
suits seem too good to last, but If all
the officers of the law keep after it, I
see no reason why things shall not be
even better as time goes on. This is
a pretty unqualified Endorsement for
a railroad conductor who has been up
against the world and a rough part
OF the world for 80 years, but feel
that the changed conditions war
rant it."
The following was received from a
large coal operator Of the state:
Il never in my life saw such great
improvement in the way of behavior
and manly conduct as on the passenger
train Of the Cabin Creek branch Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio since whisky
ceased to be a merchandising PROPOSE
tion in our state. Further, l notice
with great pleasure that large por-
tion Of our men who used to go out to
get whisky are now spending this
time with their families or at the Y.
M. c. A.. and portion Of the money
which originally went for whisky is
now going toward the entertainment
Of their families, which means untold
pleasures for the children"
Mr.. Blue concludes his report with
this statement: Such letters from
men in touch with the practical, every
day life speak with more convincing
power than anything can say"

uary, February and March, 1915, was
introduced in the Senate by Senator

committee. The usual course has
been to start the bill in the House,
but the Senate, since the agreement
between Republicans and conserva
tive Democrats, has taken the position
that it must decide the legislation this
session and might as we'll start things
off right.
The short appropriation bill is
passed to enable state departments to
operate until all appropriation bills
have been passed and the long appro-
priation bill is drawn up. The short
appropriation bill, therefore, covers
one-siXth of the biennial period, the
long appropriation twenty months.
Appropriations for the various de-
partments, as provided for in the bill
introduced, are as follows:

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY-BACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
II Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains Of acid and
waste, SO We can readily understand
the vital Importance Of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much: also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts:
take q tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine SO it no
longer is q source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

perfaot Pitch.

A fairly large number Of people are
gifted with a good ear for music, and
their friends think 1t quite wonderful
that they are able to play or whistle
tunes which they have heard only once.
But this gift however remarkable It
may seem, Is by no means extraordi-
nary or exceptional, especially when
compared with the possession Of what
Is called an ''ear OF absolute pitch" "
This means that the person possessing
1t is able to stand away from the piano
and tell you what note you are playing
or In what key. One well known lady
pianist Is able to read over the score Of
a piece OF music in the train or omni-
bus leave the book behind her and yet
play the whole piece through by mem
DRY when she reaches home.
Perfect pitch Is gift to some peo-
pie, but 1t can be acquired. Indeed,
many authorities say that to be real
ly great musician this power must be
poSsessed.--LIOndon Answers
