AUTOMOBILE DANGERS.

1t is now the commonest sort of
thing to read in the newspapers of ac-
counts OF deaths in automobile acct
dents all over the country. One thing
or another, some times the most triy-
ial, causes fatalities and the number
of lives lost is mounting up rapidly
Precaution is a word OF little signif-
canoe with at least half the people
who drives cars. 1t ought not to be.
There are warnings at all the cross
ings of railroads. No need of losing
ones life there. Nearly everybody
knows the danger point when high
speed is reached. No need of over
speeding. Life is too dear Let those
who drive automobiles be more care
ful.

Some farmers have reduced their
losses from hog cholera to the mini
mum by exercising more than usual
care in their feeding, thereby keeping
the hogs in the highest state of thrift,
and giving them the maximum resist
ance to the disease. Also, by liberal
use of disinfectants and hog dips, they
nave made it more difficult for the
germs to secure lodgment on the farm,
and by enforcing as rigid quarantine
as possible, when cholera is in the
leighborhood, they have helped to
check the spread of the disease.
But when cholera is taking hold, and
hogs worth from to 10 cents pound
begin to die at the rate of several

killing hogs, there have been socalled
hog cholera cures. Some of them
have been prepared by men who real

And now comes a complaint that
the delay in determining the results in
the national election last week was
due to the fact that so many issues
were submitted to the people. In

settled according to our liking and
to have that late is better than never
to have it.

sugar having the tendency to separate

especially true II the cream was not
very heavy before being whipped. To
remedy this. to every pint Of whipped
cream soak q scant tablespoonful of
granulated gelatin in enough cold wa
ter to barely cover 1t, until it Is soft
Then add q small half teacupful of
boiling water and stir until the gela.
tin is completely dissolved, after which
add three quarters of q cup of sugar
and whatever flavoring you intend to
use for the cream. Turn this into q
cold bowl and beat with an eggbeater
until 1t is white like marshmallows
and begins to become firm, and just
as soon as 1t has reached this point,
but before it has commenced to grow
stringy. beat it by spoonfuls into the
cream, which has already been beaten
stiff.
This will increase the bulk Of the
whipped cream and will not only
sweeten and flavor 1t, but will keep 1t
firm for any length Of time. Care must
be taken not to use too much gelatin
lest it taste Of the latter and make a
