EXCERPTS from Sermon.

".The world of wealth is passing
away. All the millions of the Van
derbilt, Rothschilds, Birard or
Rockefeller do not insure happiness.
The world of pleasure and enter
tainment passeth away. Theodore
Hook, who made the world laugh,
failed to make his own heart laugh,
and Grimaldi, the noted clown, was
unable to supply the remedy for his
own ills. The world of honor and
power pass away, and when the
great emperors find their last erd
approaching they feel that though
they have been everything 1t has
been but nothing. The bones Of
the ruler and the slave will look the
same in that final day of reckoning.
1t is utter folly for people to spend
their lives in bali rooms, at cards, or
in the theaters, and time thus vainly
spent can never bring peace TO the
soul. The only thing worth while
in this world is to do the will Of
God."-Dr. Bruner.

HAS WON DESERVED FAVOR
American Cooks More and More Com
ing to Recognize this Advantages
of the Casserole.

Why is this cooking en- casserole, or
in earthenware, so popular in France!
Because in no other way is it possible
to obtain such delicious lavors.
There are three things to remember
in casserole cooking: First, the food
must be entirely prepared before the
baking is begun; second, the oven
should be only moderately hot at first,
then reduced to slow heat; third, the
food should not be allowed to boil and
must be given time enough for long
cooking.
A meat casserole of any kind needs
at least an hour and a half to cook,
while many meats, fruit and desserts
require from three hours upward. In
the old French ovens covered crooks
containing beans, or apples, or fruits,
for the cooked compete so beloved by
them, were put in The oven at night
to cook slowly until the next morning
This was a part Of the frugality, the
putting to account every bit Of meat,
which is still the habit of all French
housewives.
For the best results, or l may say
the most striking results, get a cheap
cut of meat, which is not liable to be
tender, and see what a Transformation
will be worked by the casserole cook
ing. Cut the meat in pieces suitable
for serving, and add some thickenine
agent which will absorb the excess
moisture, leaving the food just moist
enough to be served attractively.
Rice is good with game, chicken,
lamb and veal; dried bread crumbs
with pork; macaroni and pearl barley
with beef. Sometimes with young
chicken or tender fish potatoes may
be used, but lever when long cook
ing is required, for they cook to g
mush.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

No Liquor For National Guard

The sending to or using liquor in
the army camps of the National
Guard will be absolutely forbidden,
according to a statement by Adju-
tant General Mccain. This will
apply to all officers and men who
may be called into service in Mexico
at this time.
When General Mccain was asked
about this matter he said, No, |
cannot at this instant cite to you
the particular section of the regu,
lations under which the use of Ii
quors in army camns is forbidden,
but I assure you that members Of
the National Guard who may be
sworn into the federal service will
not be permitted to use liquors,
neither will liquors be permitted to
be sent into the army camps"

Savannah Woman Talks Infan-
tile Paralysis.

Miss Ella O'Mara, of the Savan.
nah Associated Charities, has Just
returned from New York, Newark
and Baltimore, where she spent her
vacation. The Savannah News
prints the following interview with
her in regard TO the plague OF IN
fantile paralysis of which she made,
as far as possible, q study where 1t
ragged: -.
The human body is attacked in
a very peculiar way said MISS
O'Mara. the first symptoms being
inc a headache. then a sharp pain at
the base of the brain, then vomiting
and then paralysis of the limbs
from the knees downward. Ii the
patient does not die he is left a per-
manent cripple. And all this hap
pens in a very few hours. The DIAL
" number of new cases in New
York City is about n hundred, OF
which sometimes as many as htty
per cent die.
"No preventive seems to have
been found" she continued, and
no cure seems to be known. For
merly it was believed by physicians
that a diseased mouth spread the
disease germs, then it was said that
flies and other vermiu caused the
Infection, but now it is admitted bJ
all investigators that no exact
knowledge is at hand as to its orl-
gin, but many students of the
epidemic are beginning to believe
that pet dogs and cats play an I'M
portant part in it's inception.
Il was greatly interested in the
different methods employed In the
different cities, hoping to check the
spread of the disease. In New York
all churches are closed to children.
The children are also debarred from
all popular resorts, including Coney
Island and all moving picture shows.
Stray dogs and cats are being COL
lected by the wagonload, and some
that are pets are likewise taken to
the dog pound and later killed. The
number of funerals also impressed

hours l counted five children's fu-
nerals PASS the house.
In Newark daily mass meetings
are held and are attended by all
physicians and charity workers,
hoping to learn of a preventive and
and a cure. In Baltimore several
new cases were reported every day.
More than $4,000 has been raised
by popular subscription to be spent
in investigating the origin and re-
suits of the contagion. The fire

PRUNING ORCHARDS

Thousands of fruit trees over the
State of Arkansas are ruined every
year becau the owners do not
prune them and thus start them in
the right way. If nature is left with
the pruning job We too often find
badly formed crotches, high trees,
etc, which in after years are almost
doomed to break down or fail to
bear profitable crop of fruit. said
Mr.. j. s. Knox, Extension Horticul-
turist of the University and Federal
Extension Service. 1T is necessary,
however, that the man who is doing
the pruning know his trees and the
fundamental principles of the art of
pruning He must know not only
what branches TO remove and where
to remove them, but how to remove
them TO the best advantage to the
tree, hence with The least possible in
jury There should be a reason for
removing every limb taken from the
tree
When to Prrlne: There is diff

do the pruning work, but the ma
jo.ity of them seem to prefer Late
winter or early spring for the work

Fruitine Habit o. Trees: Mr.. kno
insists that it is essential that the
man who does the pruning should
know the frufting habit OF the differ
ent kinds of trees. Apples and pears
for instance, are generally borne
from terminal buds ON shcrt crooked
spurs, both leaves and fruit being
produced from the same bud These
spurs are found always on two year
old or older wood. Peaches are
borne directly on wood Of the past
seasons growth, the buds usually
occurring in pairs with a leaf bud
between. The buds occur singly
quite often on trees making a very
poor growth. Leaf and fruit buds
are always separate.
