WARMING.

In these days of indigestion
It Is often quite question
Az to what to eat and what to leave
alone
For each microbe and bacillus
Has different way to kill us,
And in time they always claim us for
their own.
There are germs of every kind
In any food that you can find.
In the market or upon the bill OF fare.
Drinking waters just as risky
As the So called deadly whisky,
And it's often mistake to breathe the
air.
The inviting green cucumber
Gets most everybody's number,
While the green corn has system Oh
its own;
Though radish seems nutritious,
Its behavior Is quite vicious,
And doctor will be calling to your
homo.
Eating lobster. cooked or plain.
Is only flirting with ptomatne.
While m oyster sometimes has lot
to say.
But the clans we eat IN chowder
Make the angels chant the louder,
For they know thai well be with
!. them right away.
All these erazY foods they mix
Will float US crosse The River Styx.
Or they'll start tbs elm bing up the
milky way.
And the meals we eat in courses
Mean hearse and two black horses,
So before q meal some people AWAY
pray.
Luscious grapes breed 'pendicitis.
And the juice leads 10 gastfitis,
SO there's only death TO greet Us
either way;
And fried iiver's nice, but mind you
| Friends will soon ride slow behind
| you,
/ And the papers then Will have Dice
things TO say.
Some h.tle Dug ia gong to find YOU
some DAY,
Some iistie bug will creep behind you
| some day.
/ Eat some auce-they call it chlii--
| Oa-your breast they'll place a lily;
Some little bug is going to find YOU
some day.

COOLING AND PACKING
MARKET POULTRY.
BY q. Il. Conkey.

Tn our last article we dealt with
the dressing of poultry for market
"a very important subject. How
ever, it il forced TO share donors
with the subjects forming the base
of this article, for poultry that is
packed too soon or packed I'm
properly, never reaches the mar
ket ID desirable condition, re.
gardless of how we'll fattened or
how carefully it has been dressed.
Many persons have the idea
that the best thing to do is TO
ship the birds as soon after being
killed as possible, while, in fact,
nothing can be more hurtful to
their sale.
After Turkey has been dress
ed, IL should be removed to a cool
place where it can hang for at
least ten to twelve hours. 1t
should never be dipped in water
or be allowed to touch anything
else while the animal heat is leav-
ing the body.
Chickens, Ducks and Geese
should be immersed in tub of
water as soon az all the feathers
have been removed and allowed to
remain therein for an hour or two.
This will plump them and, Ill the
case of the chicken, will make it
look bright and clean by removing
the scruff.
After they have remained 10 the
water some time they should DO
hung up where they can dram
thoroughly, in the same manner "a
the Turkey This will require
from six to ten hours.
POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED
Never plump q Turkey.
: Always plump Chicken, Duck
o. Goose
Allow them to hang until every
muscle, is rigidly set.
Nrve,sallow them to touch each
other o. snything that will prevent
h,. / e. .ction Of the air around
hem
Neveg pack as long as one drop
of water remains on them.
Never pack until all animal heat
has disappeared.
" hes the birds have become
ho,nughly cooled, grade them,
placing all second or third quality
stuff 10y itself. Then give all
your attention to the packing.
Attractive appearance is half the
lbatflr when the time comes to
SCI and cases or barrels must be
pack "a carefully, if you wish to
| insure safe transportation.

MASTER FEATS OF THE RAIL
ROAD WORLD.

Six years ago the country rang
with the accomplishment of the most
brilliant and efficient transcontinen-
tai railroad building of history.
This year the eyes of the nation
are turned TO an even more notable
achievement-the placing of 44O
miles of main line across the Cont
mental Divide under electrical oper'
lation.
Both achievements are work of the
same railway-it was the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul that set new
record in railway building, by con
structing in less than three years :
splendid steel highway across the
plains, mountains, uplands and val
legs that lie between the Missouri
River and Puget Sound. With series
of brilliant engineering triumphs this
new steel highway was laid directly
through the heart of the Rocky, Bit
ter Root and Cascade Mountains.
The result is that the milwaukee,
today is the shortest line to the Pa
cific North Coast, with lowest grades
and easiest curves, and leads directly
through the greatest extent of noun.
tain scenery on the continent.
Again it is the Milwaukee" that
definitely ushers in the new era in
railroading-the era of the electric
locomotive. Already "The Olympian'
and 1.-THE Columbian" are being oper-
ated electrically over the first com
pleted unit of lis miles, and soon
they will be so operated over the en-
tire electrified district, extending
from Harlowton, Mont, to Avery,
Idaho, distance of 440 miles.
1t has always been the aim of this
railway to furnish service better
than the best obtainable elsewhere.
Every travel delight and comfort is
yours if you travel on the "Milwau-
kee" to the Pacific North Coast.
For literature and full information
apply to local ticket agent Of this
railway. Adv.

THE WEARY WAY.
Daily Becoming Less Wearisome to
Many in DEBORAH.

With back that aches all day,
With rest disturbed at night,
Annoying urinary disorders,
'Tis weary way, indeed.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney trouble.
Are endorsed by DEBORAH citizens.
Sever Olson, blacksmith, Maple
Ave, DEBORAH, says: Many years
of hard work as a blacksmith is
what weakened my kidneys and
brought on attacks of backache.
When tried to stoop over to shoe a
horse, sharp pains often caught me
in the small Of my back and almost
doubled me up. i noticed that the
kidney secretions were highly color
ed. l never let kidney complaint get
a good hold on me, because / always
use Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
from Engbertson's Pharmacy, right
away and l am fixed up in fine

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Erecting The Tombstone.

IF a man do not erect, in his age,
his own tomb ere he dies, he shall
live no longer in monument than the
bell rings and the widow weeps. -
Shakespeare.
The only sculpture on the Lincoln
Memorial in Pontiac Park, Washing
ton, d. c., will be colossal statue Of
the president during the great strug-
gle for the preservation of the I'm
ion, with two bronze panels bearing
his Gettysburg and second inaugural
addresses. These utterances contain
much that appeals to all men thru
out the ages, and no thoughtful for
|eign reader will miss their import for
mankind in it's largest sense. Lin
coin, like Washington. built on the
eternal rock of government by the
people, of the people, for the people,
and these two monuments will al
ways reach upward with a prophetic
majesty recognized as power in hu.
man, affairs that can never be i'm
paired.
The monumen. will be presence
in the city that Washington caused
to be laid ont on a scale showing his
opinion of the great destiny of the
nation. 1t was there that Lincoln
yielded his life as a martyr in one OF
the hardest struggles of history.
Abraham Lincoln did not live Ia
be an old man, but the heritage OF
what he said and did is OF colossal
import, not to one race alone, but tc
all. The name of Abraham Lincoln
is now an eloquent token of amity
among all the states. They may con-
tinue to erect memorials, but Abra
ham Lincoln's greatest memorial was
erected by himself before he died.
