regarding it make it imperative that some explanation be made
 to satisfy public interest.
 At this point MT. Willis quoted from one of MT. Cooper's recent
 lectures, in which he said: of all the distressing conditions that afflict humanity, chronic dyspep- siafis probably the most prev yalent. This mostL universal mal- ady has baffied the medical pro fession for years, and the most skilled specialists have been un- able to cope with it successfully.
 Hours might be consumed in describing the sufferings, mental and physical, of the sufferers of chronic dyspepsia and their fail ure heretofore to get relief. A morbid, unreal, whimsical and melancholy condition of the mind, aside from the. nervous ness and physical suffering, is the usual condition of the aver age dyspeptic. and life seems scarcely worth the living. Dys- pepsia, or indigestion, as the case may be. is caused by the taking of too much food, or un- suitable food, and the mucous membrane of the stomach be- comes irritated, and there is set an acute or sub-acute gastric catarrhal condition which pre- vents the proper digestion of the food. This food is apt to fer ment and decompose, and as a result the familiar, distressing symptoms of dyspepsia may arise. In mild cases there is nothing more than an uncomfort- able feeling in the stomach, with a certain amount of depression, headache, loss of appetite, per- haps belching of gas and occasion al vomiting. There may be also accompanying intestinal symp- toms, such as constipation, pains in the back, collie, etc. There may be only the familiar heart- burn due to the inflammation /of the stomach from excessive gases of fermentation or ,putre- faction. In the most severe cases those that last oyer day .or two-the symptoms Nenumer- ated may be much more intense.
 The distress may be marked and the general constitutional symp- toms more evident. When this stage is reached the loss of ap- petite, the mental depression and the general uncomfortable
 feeling in the stomach are much

more prO1OullCeu' lhlo To P"A ticularly true in acute gastrltis.
 Tt frequently occurs from continued errors in diet that this condition becomes chronic, and the symptoms persist for an ln- definite period; the appetite IS very apt to be varied. although at times very good. Heartburn is frequent, if not constant; the stomach is painful on pressure, the tongue is coated, there IS a bad taste in the mouth, and there are changes in the amount of the salivary secretion. Con- situation is also usually present, although diarrhoea may alter nate.
 Most cases of dyspepsia can be cured if the diet is properly looked after and with the proper treatment. Proper eating and the proper amount of food are the most important features in the treatment. Most people eat too fast and eat too much.
 .'One of the most pernicious of all practices in the treatment of dyspepsia is the promiscuous taking of so many of the so- called proprietary medicines, which are so blatantly advertis- ed in the daily press, many of them being nothing more than alcoholic beverages, and their use is not unattended with a great deal of danger. The treat ment of constipation that is so frequently an accompaniment of dyspepsia by means of patent pills, calomel, powders and pur- gatives is positively harmful.
 "I am convinced" continued MT. Cooper, that the stomach regulates the condition of the blood and is the fountain head of health or disease, as the case may be. My medicine is intend ed primarily for the regulation of the stomach and the correc- tion of catarrhal inflammation, but it is no uncomhnon thing for persons who have used it to come to me and Explain that it has relieved them of rheumatism and many ailments not generally recognized in having their origin in stomach trouble. /"

daisies are particularly attractive to them and chickens feeding in the fields find large numbers of beetles to Chickens up to ten weeks old are killed by the poison in tIle rose bee ties. for these brown sprawly beetles act upon the chickens as toad stools act upon people who eat them
 The rose beetles are very attractive to the chickens and they will feed on them until their crops are filled with the insects. Chickens die in from ten to twenty -four hours after eating the beetles.
 There have been some large looses each year from dickens having fed upon these insects in this state. Some times owners have opened the bulging crops of the chickens and found there the cause of death while others have ascribed the cause of death of several other causes.
 At present we have no cure for chickens that have fed on these in sects. For that reason we offer the suggestion that those who raise chick ems not use grapevines in the runs for shade, that they should guard against the chickens feeding in fields where the raisies are abundant during these three weeks when the rose beetles are most numerous. We might add that duckings and young turkies are also killed by feeding on these insects

TO GAN FRluT OR vEeETARLE. Description of Way in Which Many
 Do Their Work.

Numerous questions have been ask ed concerning the way in which can hing is done. The method which. many of the clubs are using is known as the cold pack method, and the fol- lowing information taken from one many of these questions. By this cold-pack method all fruit and xege- tables can be successfully sterilized in one period. This eliminates the three day process which was formerly used by many women. In the canning of fruits, the fruit is prepared as though it were to be cooked for sauce. It is then packed in clean, sterile jars. The jars are filled with the hot sirup, the rubber put in place, the lid adjusted and the jar partially sealed. These jars are then placed in the wash boil CT on the rack, then covered with wa ter and boiled for the required mum Der of minutes. The time is counted in this process of sterilization from the actual time when the water begins to boil. At the end of this process of sterilization the jar is removed and .Iae cover frightened.
 Vegetables are blanched and dipped in cold water before they are packed in the jars. Blanching means the plunging of the vegetables in boiling water and allowing them to boil for the required number of minutes. This time varies for different vegetables and also for different conditions. If the vegetable is old and not in the best of condition longer period of blanching is required. A wire basket or cheesecloth bag in which to place these vegetables while they are being blanched is a great aid. There are three reasons for this b1anching pro- cess. It helps to eliminate objection able acids and f1avors. It reduces the bulk of vegetable greens. It does away with the intermittent process in canning which is the process of cook ing a certain length of time one day and repeating this operation on three successive days,
 This blanching process is followed by cold dipping. This means to plungt the products into cold water after l blanching, and it is done immediately after removing them from the hoi water. The reasons for this cold dip- ping are to coagulate the colorins matter, making it more difficult tC l dissolve during the period of sterili. zation, to harden the pulp under ths | skin, thus permitting the removal O. the skin without injury to the pulT and to make it easier to handle ths vegetables in packing the jars.
 The next step after the blanchinl and cold dipping is the packing of tIa'
 vegetables in the jar. The jars shoult be absolutely clean. Any good jar
 may be used, but if the jars are to b
 bought it is we'll to select clear glas
 and jars having a large mouth. Tn
 jars should be about the same tenn
 perature as the product which is t be packed in them, in order to avoi
 danger of breakage. The jars shoul be packed quite closely leaving feS open spaces.
 After the vegetables are in tn jars, ad small amount of salt, : one flat teaspoonful is satisfactor for a quart,-then fill the jar wit
 hot water, place rIIbbers and cover
 on the jars immediately and put i
 the boiler for sterilization. Thes , 1 jars should be covered with water.
