Bad Habits.

Those who breakfast at eight
O'Clock or later, lunch at twelve
and have dinner at six are all
most certain to be troubled with
indigestion. They do not allow
time for one meal to digest be-
fore taking another. Not less
than five hours should elapse be-
meals. If you are troub-
led with Indigestion correct your
habits and take Chamberlain
Tablets, and you may reasonably
hope for a quick recovery. These
tablets strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. Obtainable

when you first get out of bed
not ice cold, but a temperature of

CURE BEEF AT HOME
Good Results Secured From The
Methods Used in Curing
Pork.


One of the important means
Of solving the high cost of living
on the farm, according to P. F.
Trowbridge of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture,
is being neglected if each farmer
does not produce and cure most
of the meat for his own house
hold.
Any of the brine or dry mix
lures which give good results
in curing pork can be used sat
isfactorily for beef, but as beef
is leaner than pork, it should not
be allowed to remain in the brine
or mixture quite as long, or it
will become hard and salty.
Dried beef should have the
same cure as corned beef, care
being taken not to let it get too
salty. 1t should then be washed
to remove the excess of the cure,
and smoked if you like the smoke
flavor. A very good country prac-
tice is to dry cure the beef with
salt and brown sugar, using a.
bout a fifth as much sugar as
salt, rubbing the meat very
thoroughly with the cure every
two or three days for about two
weeks. 1t should then be wash
ed, wiped, and hung up to dry
in a warm place if you do not
wish to smoke it, or transferred
to the smoke house and given a
light smoke.
Corned beef is at it's very best
when it has been in the cure a.
bout ten days. If kept in the
cure more than a month, it
needs considerable freshening
before cooking. If you wish to
preserve the red color of the beef
you should use a small amount
of saltpeter, not more than two
ounces to each hundred pounds
of the meat. This improves the
color of the meat but is detri-
mental in that it tends to harden
the lean fibers.
This is one of the numerous
practical bits of information be-
ing picked by those attending
Farmers Week this year. More
extended courses in killing, cut
ting, and curing Of meat will be
given during the seven weeks
course which will open for new
students January 10.
The facilities of the College of
Agriculture for studying and
;eaching this subject have re-
Gently been greatly improved by
he installation of a refrigerating
plant. At the close of Farmers
Week each year, the value of the
instruction is tested at a big
banquet, where the meat, pre-
pared by Professor Trowbridge
and the students, is served. The
animals themselves are raised
by the animal husbandry depart
ment of the college. The steer
slaughtered this year was a
fair champion Shorthorn with
which the college wished to COM
pete for honors at the Inter
national Live Stock Show, if the
foot and mouth disease had not
made it impossible to hold that
show.

in this must be figured the high vote.
What Is the high vote and how the
correct figures may be reached is the
question that must be settled. AS "A
matter OF fact the high vote on elcc-
toral voters of the parties participating
in the election does not show anything
like the high vote claimed by the
election board. They did not calculate
the high vote from the electoral vote
cas-. Some contend this is the correct
way to get at it. If this is really the
right method. then the election law
has carried by safe majority on the
face of II.
II is claimed as n part of the evil
dcnCe that will be shown that in one
county voter who is a young man
voted in several different precincts
with registration certificate describ-
ing an old man with gray hair. ana
that all votes We're registered against
the election laws. Irregularities of the
most sensational nature are promised
to be shown if the matter gets to the
courts and evidence on the matter is
permitted.

men ARE TORTURED
BY THE GERMANS
When They Refuse to
Leave Homes They Are
Tied to Posts.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 1S.-(Via Lon
don p. m.)-The number of Belgians
deported by the Germans up to date.
according to Information given to the
Associated Press today from relia-
bic source apparently is between
thirty and forty thousand, and they
are being deported at the rate or
about two thousand daily.
Antwerp, it was said. has been COM
manded to furnish $1,000 men. which
probably is not more than 1G per cent
of its able-bodied population, but Les
snes has lost more than two thousand
from a total population including
women and children, of seven thou
sand representing virtually every
able bodied man excepting officials.
The entire Belgian population. the
narrator said, is terrorlzed because the
people realize they are entirely help
less. Crowds of hysterical women and
children gather at the railway and re-
cruiting stations, and many women at
Jemappes threw themselves on the
rails to prevent the departure of a
train OF emigrants and had to be for
chilly removed by German soldiers.
The men are strongly determined
to refuse to work, believing that If
they are not employed in military
works, they will be compelled to re-
place Germans and be forced to work
directly or indirectly against the Bel
gian army and its allies. The deported
men In trains passing through Liege
are declared to have been heard sing
ing tho Marseillaise and other pa
triotic airs. The newspapers report a
case near Vallencienes or sixty
Frenchmen who. impressed by the
Germans, refused to work. and are
declared to have been tied to posts for
