FINED FOR TRESPASSING.

William Collins, Charles Bradley and
Isaac L. Smith, all of near Oakley Sta
tion, were brought before Justice-of the
peace Edward v. HENDERSON, Wednes-
day afternoon, on the complaint of John
r. Hemmons, who charged them with
trespassing on his lands. The trouble
arose over a part of land which adjoins
the Maryland, Delaware & Virginia
Railroad at Oakley Station. 1t seems
that the men have been using the land
for storing logs and other timbers on,
and that Hemmons had warned them in
the past not to do 80. They continued
to use it and the trip to the Justice-of.
the -peace's Office was the result. The
law in the case sets a fine of not more
than $5.0 for the offense, and the JUS
tice-of- the-peace fined each $3.50 and
costs. A difference of opinion as to just
how much of the land was owned by
Hemmons and the railroad is said to
have been the main cause of the trouble.

dope" USERS HIT HARD
BY The new DRUG LAW

The new federal drug law is an ex-
cellent measure, and it will do much
toward the suppression of illicit drug
traffic. The use of dope is responsible
for much crime. Nearly all dope users
eventually become thieves. Under
the new law, pharmacists cannot even
sell paregoric to known user of drugs.
Nurses must first receive an order from
a physician before giving a patient a
hypodermic injection. Many country
grocery stores have heretofore sold
laudanum without license. The Har-
rison law deprives them of that privi-
lege.

HAZEL LAW REPEALER

Governor Miller on Saturday signed
the Hazel law repeater which was passed
by the Legislature recently. The Su-
preme Court of Delaware some time ago
held that the law was unconstitutional
as far as liquor shipments into dry ter

State were concerned. This ruling op-
ened the dry" territory to wholesale
shipments of liquor from outside the
State, while denying New Castle County
liquor interests the same privilege.
Repeal of the law followed.

TEN-PENNY NAILS
USED IN SURGERY.
Operators Make Trial Of Common
Variety and Bad Fractures
Are Cured,

Sioux City, Ia.-Ten-penny nails
have been forced through human
bones by Sioux City surgeons in or
der to expedite reunion of br.,ken
parts, and results are said to have
been wholly successful. Several such
operations have been performed re-
Gently at st. Joseph's hospital. Stove
pipe wire also has been used with
good results in case Of shattered
bones, where it was necessary to hold
fragments together until knitting was
complete.
Use of common nails in setting frac-
tured bones was tried first in Lon
don, later in Chicago, and now has
been adopted by surgeons in many
places. Nails are serviceabls, i'll fact.
necessary, to set obliqne fractures,
it is explained. They serve TO hold
the broken bones together. preventing
the sliding or crawling movement
that otherwise would be inevitable
in certain classes Of breaks.
Nails thus inserted in the body
speedily become covered with a rust
preventing membrane, and cause no
latter inconvenience to the patient,
according to surgeons who nave made
use of them.
Mrs. Nellie Armstrong, mail dciv-
er Of Huron, S. D., who suffered bro
ken hip when her horse ran away,
was one patient to profit by the nail
method Efforts to set the hip bones
at Huron failed, aad Mrs. Arm .trong
was taken to st. Joseph's hospital in
Sioux City. Nails Of ten-penny size
were driven into the bones, pinning
them firmly together. AS result she
has been enabled to walk about and
perform ~, other normal forms OF
work as well as before her injury,
doctors state.
Another case was that Of man
who had been hurt in trolley car
accident. Four rib, on one side were
broken from the chest bone. The bro
ken ribs cauced great pain, moving
outward when the patient inspired
and telescoping back over the breast
bone when he expelled his breath.
The two rihs at top and bottom were
nailed in place and all four broken
bones then united.
X-ray pictures of patients so treat
ed show the nails still imbedded in
the bone after recovery has taken
place.

USE OF SWEET PEPPERS.
Popular Vegetable Easily Obtained
in Most Markets-Peppers Eaten
Alone and With Many Kinds
of Food

Sweet garden peppers, either green
or after they have turre3 color, are
deservedly popular vegetables, whose
use has become common throughout
the United States rather recently. An
other name for this vegetable is PIN
iento. Some times it is called pilnen-
to, though this is not correct-pimen-
to really meaning allspice. Sweet
peppers can be grown easily in the
garden and are comni0n market
crop. They should have a place in
the home vegetable plot. along with
the sharp red peppers used for seas
oning, pickles, etc., which they re-
semble in all respects except favor,
beng mild, where the red peppers are
biting.
Sweet peppers may well be planted
generously, for they have many uses
on the table and any surplus may oe
canned. Good methods for this pur-
pose have been worked out by experts
of the department OF agriculture as
part Of the canning.ciub work. In
large markets green peppers can be
had almost all the year, as they bear
shipment well. Raw green peppers
are very useful for seasoning, for
salad making, and so on. AS is al
ways the case with vegetables, they
are used also in making many dishes
of which baked stuffed peppers is
well known. The top OF the pepper
is cut off, the GORE" and seeds re-
moved, and the pepper filled with a
well-seasoned stuffing and baked TN
til tender and brown. If one wishes,
a little butter and water or stock
may be poured into the pan with the
peppers to keep them moist. Corn
beef hash is popular stufing, as is
boiled rice and chopped chicken sea-
soped with celery, bi. OF onion, and
SO on. Rice and nuts may also be
tables with butter and seasoning. Be-
fore canning, and before cooking If
one wishes Though this is not neces-
sary), the outer skin Of the peppers
may be removed by placing thea in a
hot oven until the skin blisters ard
cracks, which should not H,e more
than 10 minutes, and then removing
it with the aid Of a slender knife.
Sweet peppers, either fresh or
canned, are particularly good chopped
or pounded fine and mixed with cot
tage cheese. Such cheese may be
served with salad or used as filling
for sandwiches and in similar ways
Department of agriculture puDfica-
lions contain a number of suggestions
for the use of sweet peppers and for
making sweet pepper dishes.

SOME HOG SUGGESTIONS.

Two essentials in successful swine
keeping are good management and
good feed. Keep the herd built up by
using and keeping the best old sows
and bears. OF course one cannot keep
the same sows all the time. Two lit
tiers year are raised from part of the
sows, selecting from the fall filters
the best ones for future brood sows.
None are kept except those that have
good head and ear, good heart girth
and deep, long body, well-arched back
and stand up well on the feet. Bears
are kept in pastures away from the
sOws. They have range OF clover
and timothy pasture. We feed them
such food as is raised on the farm,
ground oats and wheat, with tankage
and little oil meal added. We do not
feed much corn. This makes them
strong and vigorous. At breeding time
a record of every sow bred is kept SO
az to tell when she will furrow. In
cold weather we care for the pigs by
putting them in basket in which Is
a jug of hot water, which soon dries
them off. They will come out fighting
for the first dinner,
The individual hog house beats all
others in cold weather. This type can
easily be warmed by hanging Ian
tern or small oil stove in it. After
furrowing we feed the same kind OF
feed as the SOW has been used to get
ting, but not SO much or as rich a
feed at first. AS soon as the pigs get
old enough to eat we make a place
for them where they can eat by them
selves, giving them sour milk at first
to get them started, adding little
shorts as they get oder.
Some farmers are deceiving them
selves when they think that hogs are
fitted by nature to subsist entirely on
waste products. They do their best
on a clean, wellbalanced ration
There are, however, some kinds Of
waste products, such as apple and po-
tato Feelings, table scraps, ETC., that
can be utilized to good advantage.
Corn stands at the head of hog ra.
tons, being the cheapest and best
feed available. Feeds rich in protein
should be fed with it, for corn con-
tains an excess of carbohydrate.
Slsimmilk and grass, especially the
clovers, are excellent sources of pro-
tein. The young growing pig needs
proportionately more heterogeneous
food than the mature hog. When hogs
reach the fattening stage corn can be
fed almost exclusively. Clean waste
scraps of fruit and vegetables may be
fed with the foregoing feeds, but it
should be borne in mind that the di-
gestive apparatus of no animal is fit
ted to assimilate soapsuds and other
chemicals of like nature, which are
sometimes thought by the poorly in
formed to be excellent hog feed.-D.

CALL OF STORK
SET BY DOCTORS.
DISCOVERIES OF AMERICAN AND
GERMAN SCIENTISTS REcU.
LATE TIME OF ARRIVAL.
BIRTHDAY OPTIONAL WITHIN 2 Weeks
Dr.. Charles 3. Reed Puts System In
Practice at Wesley Hospital.

r . j. j. 4 2 d .
Chicago.-There is new science
called choose your own birthday"
1t has been practiced with great
success by DR.. Charles B. Reed of
Wesley Memorial hospital, Chicago.
and DR.. James D. Voorhees,, associate
professor of obstetrics at Cornell Uni
versity.
1t consists of making appointments
with the stork at the doctors rather
than the stork's option, and it has
been made possible by set Of meas
urements worked out by DR.. Ahlfeld,
German scientist and obstetrician
and by an invention of Dr.. Voorhees,.
DR.. Reed, one of Chicago's leading
obstetricians, whose practice is among
the wealthy, has systematized the
stork to the extent of having him
make all his calls of afternoons.
For year or more he has never
had night case or received the con-
signments of the stork except by such
arrangements as one might make with
dentist or dressmaker. In that time
he has allowed a hundred or more ba-
bies to choose their own birthdays
within limits.
The scope of birthday choosing is
span of two weeks before the stork
must come, willy nilly. Any day in
those two weeks that suits little John
ny or Jenny-to-be suits the doctor
and the mother-to-be, if it does not
conflict with the choice of some other
mother, in which case another day
within the two weeks leeway is chos-
en- for the birthday.
Johnny or Jennie-to-be's mamma
gets card from the doctor, saying in
effect: II have set Tuesday" or We'd
nesday or Thursday, as the case may
be, "for you, and will you please pre-
sent yourself at Wesley hospital and
get your little boy" or your little girl.
The mamnla-tobe goes to the hos
pital the night before the day named
on the card. Early in the morning the
doctors assistant calls on her and
tells her what to do, and after four
hours DR.. Reed comes, and any time
after that, but eight hours at the la
test, DR.. Stork arrives and there's the
baby.
DIR. Reed maintains that his system
follows natural laws. He calls 1t
setting the pendulum Of the clock to
swinging" He ascertains the scien-
tif.c time of day from the stork.
