KIDNEY DISORDER

Simple methods are usually the
most effective ones when treating any
disorder of the human system The
mere drinking OF cup of hot water
each morning, plenty of pure water all
day, and a little Anuric before every
meal has been found the most effec-
tive means of overcoming kidney trou-
BILE. Death would occur if the kidneys
did not work day and night in sepa-
rating poisons and uric acid from the
blood
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, aches, pains, heaviness,
drowsiness, irritability, headaches,
chilliness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
joints, govt
1t is such a simple matter to step
into your favorite drug store and OBJ

dispenses it.
All people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are
prone to eat too much meat and incon-
sequence deposit uric acid (uratic
salts) in their tissues and joints.
They often suffer from twinges Of
rheumatism or lumbago, sometimes
from govt, swollen hands or feet. Such

SOME GOOD THINGS TO BAKE
Buttermilk in Spice Cake Improves the Fiavor-May Also Be Used
 in Making Gingerbread.

For doughnuts have ready a scant cupful of sugar, one egg, a pinch of salt cupful of milk, two cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking pow der and piece of butter the size of a butternut or three tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Stir together in the usual way and turn the mass out or to a mixing board Then roll out, add ing flour to prevent the mass from sticking to the board.
 A very nice spice cake is made with buttermilk. The buttermilk seems to impart tenderness as well as richness to the cake. Cream one cupful of sugar and scant half cupful of but ter Add a cupful of buttermilk and stir the mixture into two cupfuls of flour sifted with a teaspoonful of soda, half teaspoonful of cloves and half grated nutmeg.

HARD FOR MIND TO MASTER
Figures of Interest to Those People Who Talk So Gibly of Mil
 lion Years.

Astronomers and geologists habitu- ally deal in large numbers. It is ut terly impossible to conceive 1,000,000,- tration of a railroad train going so many miles an hour for so many years conveys very vague idea
 1t is equally difficult to form an idea of the vast period of time with which geologists deal. What idea can man, who is limited to a hundred years, form of 1,000,0O0 yearso
 Professor Croll tells us how a strik- ing impression of such lapse of time may be partially conveyed to the mind.
 Stretch piece of paper 83 feet 4 inches long around the walls of a room somewhat over twenty feet square, re- call the events of fife to give some conception of a hundred years, and then consider that a mark one-tenth of an inch broad at one end of the paper represents the century, while the whole strip gives place for only million years
 This illustration IS worth trying.
 An even more striking illustration may be seen Tn the works of nature Could we stand upon the edge of gorge a mile and half in depth, that had been cut out of the solid rock by a tiny stream scarcely visible at the bottom of this terrible abyss, and were we informed that this little streamlet was able to wear off annually only onc-tenth of an inch from it's rocky bed, what would our conception be of the prodigiou5 length of time that this stream must nave taken to excavate the gorge? We should certainly feel startled on finding that the stream had performed this enormous amount of work in something less than million years.

WAY OF IRONING TABLECLOTH
Writer of Experience Describes Method Which She Believes to
 Be the Best to Follow.

A tablecloth should be pulled into shape before being ironed. After t is pulled into shape, $old it together lengthwise through the middle, so that the wrong side will be outside. Then turn back the edges of each side so that the cloth is in four leng folds, each fold of the same width. The outer fold will now be right side out. Iron these two outer folds. then turn them inside and iron the two in. ner folds that are now outside and are the right side Of the tablecloth. When the four folds are thus finished the long length can be doubled back and forward the desired width but the crosswise folds should not be ironed in. Papers can be placed where the tablecloth hangs over on the floor from the ironing board. A little practice will soon make you per. feet. The old-fashioned way was to first iron tablecloth on the wrong side, but the tablecloths coming un. der my observation that look best are ironed in the manner above described -Eunice Haskins in Independent Farmer.

BEST TREATMENT FOR COLO
Improper Feeding Is Most Common Cause of Trouble-Physic of
 Salts or Oil Is Favored.

By L. l.. LEWIS. Oklahoma Experiment
 Station)
 Collie in horses and cattle is from various causes, but is more particu- larly due to sudden changes in feed or to eating more feed than can be easily digested by the animal at that time. The amount of feed that an ami nal may digest at one time under certain conditions may be entirely too much under other conditions. Since collie may be caused by so many differ ent things. no one remedy will prove effective in all cases.
 As general rule, most of the colics that ara seen in farm stock are due to improper feeding. In those cases the best general treatment that might be used would be to give as early as pos sible physic of salts or oil To re- lieve the pain seen particularly in spasmodic collie, the safest general treatment that can be used is to give from one to one and one-half ounce of chloral hydrate, dissolved in pint of water. to which has been added one .easpconful of ground ginger.
 Do not give laudanum in such cases, as it only tends to produce constipa- tion, and on this account is one of the poorest remedies that you can use.

BIG STEvES SHOT
By FRANK CRAWFORD.

T don't believe in coddling crim. inals, said the district attorney smashing down his red fist upon the table. No, sir! What with your bu- manities, and your movies for crim- inals nowaday, you're making the peni. tentiary a pleasant resort for the out. laws of this country"
 q don't know" answered the gov ernor thoughtfully. T remember when I was warden at Salt Lake prison camp"
 You initiated this modern system in our state, sir" said the district at. torney.
 You never heard how I came to see some good in the worst side of human nature, MT. Elson?"
 ''It doesn't exist
 50 I thought" answered the gov ernor. T used the harsh methods of the old days-the whip, the cooler. and all tho rest of it. Well, it was Big Steve changed my viewpoint. He was the worst nigger of the lot. Why. we'd almost scared the flesh off his back, and then we couldn't do any thing with him. He'd half killed a woman-that was why he was sent up for dozen years. Savagely attacked the guards and his fellow prisoners. But he hated me worst of the lot, and whenever l went near the fellow he'd snarl like mountain lion.
 He got away one night. We went after him, four of us. I was among them. You see, prisoners hatred tells on the nerves of his guards, even on those of the warden, and when l heard the fellow had got away didn't lose two minutes starting after him. What made it worse was that he'd managed to overpower a guard and taken his rife
 There was a single cartridge in the rifle. 1t was the practice to give each of the guards a loaded rife when he went on duty. He had few other cartridges, too. but the rifles were not the modern service ones, and one cartridge at time was all they held Steve had the rife. Why he didn't kill the guard ] don't know. Maybe

Just as q suggestion, and by way of a reminder of the great diversity of styles which have been accepted dur ing the present season. one of the straight bodices is shown above. It is made of satin, except the sleeves, which are of lace. and is worn with a skirt of net and lace. Although the skirt is made separate the effect of the frock, with this bodice, is of a one-piece garment.
 There is panel at the back of this bodice which extends almost in a straight line from the neck to a point six inches or more below the waist line. At the front a vestee, narrow at the top, widens as it extends down ward and merges into wide girdle of the satin. The girdle is also gradu- ated in width growing narrower as it becomes a sash, knotted, with hang ing ends, at the back.
 The sides of the bodice are set on to the panel at the back and the vest. at the front, with little fullness gath cred into the seams A deep collar of net is narrowed over the shoulders al becomes little cascade of net at

Bulbs Matured En Route.

So slow was the progress of the Norwegian steamer Mesna, on her voy age from Rotterdam to Philadelphia that 800 cases of Dutch bulbs and roots in her hold sprouted and flow cred. She vas delayed by stress of weather. When the work of discharg- ing the cargo was begun it was dis covered that the warmth of the hold and the long Journey had combined to cause germination among the bulbs and roots. Some bore blooms of vari- ous colors and others had sprouts from six to eight inches long. Most of the plants are spireas. They were intend. ed to be matured slowly in green houses for the Easter trade.

Young Lamb and Mint Sauce.

Take leg of lamb and place it in roasting pan. Add two or three car. rots, cut in small pieces, bunch of celery and two onions Baste in the oven for an hour, and add a pint of water. Baste from time to time by pouring the gravy over the meat. Strain off the gravy and serve in a gravy bowl. See that the platter is well heated on which the meat is served. Take fresh mint, separate leaves, and chop fine. Take pint of water, cne-half cupful of sugar and a fourth of cupful of vinegar and heat until the water boils Then place in the chopped mint and let it stand until the water is well favored with the taste of the mint.

he thought he'd have use for the rife afterward, as proved to be the case.
 He had about half an hours start of us, and the route he had taken was perfectly plain. He had, in fact, only one route to take. That was round the borders of the lake in the direc tion of the little railroad that carried the pine products down to the coast Everywhere else was nothing but for est and swamp. There wasn house within miles. He'd have starved to death if he could manage to escape the quicksands anywhere else. The prison camp had been built wisely and we'll
 We tracked Big Steve. We went on foot couldn't hope to catch up with the convict before we reached the line, but we reckoned that he'd have half an hour to wait before the night train came along, and it proved to be the case.
 ''I was clean mad all through. I swore that I'd retake Big Steve single-hand- ed, if necessary. had only a revolver against his rifle, but the three guards I took with me were armed to the teeth. AS it happened, the most un- pected i'll luck happened to us
 Two of my men got begged Tn the swamp. They were up to their waists and the rope that we'd brought with us to bind the prisoner had to be requsitioned to pull them out It was near the end of the journey, and every second was precious to us. You see there was TO telegraph there in those days. We couldn't warn the man at the station. We had to go in person. And it would be the easiest thing in the world for Big Steve to hop on one of the cars as they numbered down. hill and go on any distance till he chose to drop off and make his way into some of the negro settlements along the track.
 a "The third man stayed to pull out the two who were mired in the swamp. It was not difficult matter. for one of them was near the edge and when he was freed the two of them could get Adams free But it meant ten minutes, and l was so mad with hate that I didn't even stop to exchange my revolver for rife. On l went, in spite of the mems remon- strances, and, sure enough, reached the station a l!ttle ahead of the train.

each side of the V-shaped neck in the front.
 The sleeves are merely flounces of lace over short foundation sleeves of net, and reach not quite to the elbow. Even thus abbreviated they provide really more sleeve than falls to the lot of evening gowns. A mere cape over the shoulder, of tulle or wisps of tulle supported by shoulder straps simply suggests sleeves in these. They are worn for no purpose other than to enhance the beauty of the arm.
 Gowns designed on lines that are straight from the bust to a point be. low the hips are to be found among those made for afternoon as well as for evening wear. And it happens that this idea is found in garments of much distinction. For remodeling a frocb of net or lace, or for providing an extra bodice by way of change. the model shown in the picture will prove it's worth.

Pretty dresses for little girls are made of the finest of cotton materials and occasionally chiffon taffeta is fig ured in as available for their dressiest frocks. But the beautiful refinement of sheer white wash fabrics, coupled with the daintiness of lace and the ele- gance of handstitching makes dresses like those shown above always happy choice.
 The party frock shown on the pleased little maid at the left is made of fine white net f1ouncing It's lower edge is finished with small scallops and sprays of little embroidered flow CTS. A narrow ruffle of the edging is set on to the plain net underskirt and the full "slipover' with baby waist is worn over it. The sleeves are mere ly short ruffles of the edging.

The train was already within earshot, puffing up the grade on the other side Of the hill looked around-and then in the moonlight I saw Big Steve's face behind a tree. a hundred yards away, and his black features twisted with rage as he looked along the barrel of his rife.
 He had me. Of course fired. But l knew l couldn't hit him at that dis. tance. l emptied my revolyer-and heard Big Steve laugh Then I stood still, waiting for the bullet
 T heard a savage snarl behind me, put didn't associate 1t with anything particular. l was hypnotized, I SUD- pose, just waiting for the negro to hre, and wondering whether he'd kill me, or whether he would leave me life enough to fight until the train came along. But suddenly I heard Big Steve utter an exclamation. He half turned his head-and the next in- stant l heard the ping of the bullet, and the sound of the discharge almost at the same moment
 T wondered whether l was hit. couldn't feel anything. was just concluding that he had missed, and wondering what had distracted his at tention, when I heard him yell:
 Jump aside, boss! Jump for your life!'
 T obeyed automatically. There was something in his tones wholly de- void of hatred. It might have been a trick, of course, but I didn't think of that. Next moment the body of a huge mountain lion came laundering past me.
 The beast checked itself in it's leap, looked up in my face, barred it's great fangs in snarl, stretched itself at my side, and died. 1 saw the bullet hole behind the shoulder Big Steve's bul. let had pierced it's heart

 The blouse is made with a small square yoke of val insertion, edged with lace, set into deeper yoke of the organdie, which is covered with fine tucks. The body of the blouse is fulled into this yoke at the back and front and hangs in even length all round Large uneven scallops follow the outline of the flower motifs which are embroidered at the bottom edge.
 The two fiounces on the underbodice which form the short skirt are edged with narrow val insertion and edging in fine quality. The insertion is let into the full, three-quarter length sleeves, as shown in the picture. and they are finished with a band made of the val insertion and edging.
 This dress is worn over a slip of white organdie, with ruffie of fine em- broidery at the bottom. The sash of taffeta ribbon is tackled to the under skirt and fastened with a flat bow having short ends at the back. An ambitious bow, like it in color-but edged with a narrow border of black, redeems the braided hair from it's plain and staid appearance. It is large enough to Haunt happy frivolity as the keynote of the toilette.
