YIRe1nIA METHOD cURINe NEAT.

We kill the hogs as early in the
morning is possible allowing them to
hang on the pole all day SO as to get
thoroughly cold to the bone, as Lney
Will be chilled on the following morn
ing. when we cut them up n salt
down.
We also do the cutting out early IN
the morning. so as to give the women
folks a chance to get at their work as
soon as possible with the lard, etc,
as this is quite a job where one kills
10 to Is hogs, averaging about zoV
| pounds each.
After the work of cutting out is COM
p1eted. we sprinkle the hams n
! shoulders lightly with saltpetre, and
rub in well. Some folks object to salt
petre, but we think a small amount of
it is not harmful. Then we put on the
salt and also rub ins then pack the
meat in a box closely.
See that the bottom of the box is
first covered with salt, putting the
hams at the bottom and the shoulders
next. After a layer of meat is put
down, cover oyer lightly each piece
with salt before putting down another
layer.
If the meat is large, don't be afraid
of putting on toe much salt, as the
more salt you have On it, the better 1t
will keep when hung up for smoking,
and after. Just sc the meat is well
covered with salt is all that is nee
essary. Let it remain in salt six or
eight weeks, according to size. 1t is
then ready to be prepared for smoking.
First we wash 1t nicely in q tub OF
hot water, but not boiling, just hot en-
ough so you can bear your hand in 1t;
using a rough. heavy rag to take on
all of the old salt, and also mold.
which is often on it. When the water
becomes too cool and greasy, throw it
out and get a fresh supply.
AS soon as a piece is washed, before
allowing to dry, sprinkle lightly with
borax, which has a tendency to keep II
from getting "skippery." Then cover
with all the black pepper that will ad,
here and hang up quite high for smok-
/ ing. A good many claim that boraN
will injure it to a certain extent, but
we find that Just a little will do nc
harm but instead, be of great benefit.
D Always allow the meat to drip "a

weather sets in, as it is very likely tC

give it a ~disagreeable taste.
We also use for smoking purposes
wet, rotten, oak wood, which we find is
decidedly the best. This smokes free

be avoided if one desires good, swee

CUPID Is ENLISTED TO
PUT AND END TO WARS.

There will be no more wars, or al
least no more wars between nations.
The Social Revolutionists have promis-
ed to See to it. They have figured out
just how to prevent the recurrence OF
such vegetable incidents as the cur
rent row in Europe, and they have is
sued a careful explanation of the pro.
posed methods. Like every other
great idea, it is SO simple that they are
wondering why no n else ever
thought of it.
Cupid gives the answer. Cupid is to
outW1t crusty Mars so ~cleverly that the
bearded old rascal never can start any
more mischief. He will work through
a series of international marriages of
which the first will take place next
week in International house, 125 West
|21st street New York, when the BRIDE
groom, of an old American family, will
marry a Russian Jewess, Mss Hannah
Olsher.
Clifford Davidson the bridegroom to
be. explained it all.
MY international marriage will sig
nalize the accomplishment of m life
ambition, to help establish information
al peace" he said. 81 shaIl<be married
under the new code of anti-war and
internatfOnaliSm On November II. l.
is a marriage having for its object the
spread of the grand, holy idea of inter
nationalism, which signifies the end of
and extremely contemplate, idiotic and
preposterous slaughter of millions of
beings made in the image of God"
Bouck White. who is to perform the
ceremony added that as many interna-
t1onal marriages as possible will DC
solemnized at International House, and
the promotion of such marriages in all
parts of the earth will proceed ac-
lively"
Eventually" he said, "aIl racial dis
tinctions will be wiped out and we will
have a United States of Earth instead
of hordes of low-lives eternally thirst
ing for each others blood"
international songs and an internal
tional buffet luncheon will be served at
the international wedding.
1t was made clear by the Social Rev
o~lutionists that they hope only to stop
international conflicts by the marriages
between English sportsmen and Ger
man hausfraus Cossack beaux and
bellies, Spanish senoritas and
Swedish fishermen Civil war, domes-
tic strife-that is another problem.

Fruitland, Nov. S.-Two months and
more have passed and the school is in
the midst of one of the best sessions
in it's useful history. The student
body is doing excellent work n the
teachers are realizing some of their
ideals in Christian education.
AS one of the teachers expressed it
everything good that comes to Hen
Jacksonville, comes on out to Fruit
land" Prof. Collier Cobb of the facul-
ty of the State University at Chapel
Hill, came out for a visit Friday al
ternoon accompanied by Rev. George
F. Wright, who always has the school
at heart and wishes to bring it before
his friends.
Rev. William E. Barker of Brevard
was at the school for a few days this
week and delivered several interesting
addresses and sermons. 1t was indeed
q blessing to have this Christian schol-
ar to visit the institution.
A few days since Rev. Charles S.
Blackburn of Greers, s. c., came with
his two boys, William Maxwell and
George Stebbins, who are now stud
ents here. Rev. MI. Blackburn is a
graduate of Princeton University. a
former missionary to Prussia, and his
visit vas genuinely appreciated by
faculty and students. He spoke to the
student body while here. Mr.. Black
burn will spend the winter at Moody
Bible Institute in Chicago.
Some very interesting lectures were
delivered recently by DIR. Frank Moody
Purser of the Baptist Foreign Mission
Board of Richmond, Va, who spent
two days at the school.

STRENGTH OF ALLIES
is CONSTANTLY GROWING

During the course of an interview
with the Associated correspondent
Major F. B. Maurice, chief director Of
military operations at the London war
Office, was asked what he thought OF
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's state
ment that the entente allies could not
break through the western front in
thirty years. General Maurice re-
piled:
Our recent offensive was not de-
signed to break through. It's purpose
was to relieve the pressure on Verdun
and kill al many Germans as possible.
l will not undertake to say whether it
will take thirty years to get the Ger
mans out of France, but the allied
strength constantly is growing and the
German strength constantly is dec1in=
ing. When the weather permits its re-
sumption, the results will be greater
than Yer. It is no doubt true that the
Germans in recent fights have been
short on ammunition. During the win
ter with its short days, limiting the
use of artillery they will be able
to replenish their stores, but despite
the bad weather. we have no intention
of letting upon them.
OuI OhCHSiFe Will COAtInue IuiouSA-
out the winter when conditions are at
all favorable.
From documents recently found on
prisoners there is no question but that
there is a great deterioration in the
enemy's morale and material, although
they have been able to maintain the
number of their divisions. This has
been accomplished by Withdrawing
regiments from old divisions to form
new ones"

alleged transactions In which the RIGGS
Bank is said TO have participated, were
oyerruled yesterday by Justice siddons.
Later In the day, attorneys for the bank
ers filed a bill of exceptions to this ruiz
ing.

John e. Laskey has advanced the case
20 May and that the bankers must al
low their case to be called at that time.
Justice Siddons also held that the bill
Of particulars, which stipulated $50 stock
and bond transactions between the bank
and the defunct brokerage firm of Lewis
johnson & Company must be considered
as a bill of particulars by attorneys for
the bankers, and that their request that
this number be reduced to not more than
100 transactions, cannot be allowed.
Counsel for the bankers had asked that
the trial be moved up to April II. They
stated at the hearing last Saturday. be-
fore Justice Siddons in Criminal Court

charter might be taken from them before
the perjury trial Is ended.
Exception was taken by the banks at
torneys to so much of the courts order
as denies a bill of particulars of the

Arm, as well as the denial of the order
of the court for specific charges based
upon these entries, with the dates upon
which they are alleged to have been
made.
