In many instances-Pers0ns have suf- fered untold agony for years doctoring for nervous weakness, stomach liver or kidney disease or some other ailment when their real trouble was lack of iron In the blo0d.-HOw to tell:
 New York, N. Y.-In recent dis course pr. E. Sauer. a Boston physician who has studied widely both in this country and in great European medical institutions, said: If you were to make an actual blood test on all people who are i'll you would probably be greatly Rstonished at the exceedingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of their multitude of dangerous symptoms disappear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into living tissue and, therefore. noth- ing you eat does you any good; you don't get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your sys- tenn like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind. As result of this continuous blood and nerve starvation. people be- come generally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions. One is too thin; am other is burdened with unhealthy fat; some are so weak they can hardly walk; some think they have dyspepsia, kid- ney or liver trouble; some can't sleep at night, others are sleepy and tired all day; some fussy and irritable: some skinny and bloodless, but all lack phy- cases. it is worse than .foolishness to take stimulating medicines or nara cotic drugs which only whip up your faggtng vital powers for the moment. on. No matter what any one tells you, If you are not strong and well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or

 tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three
 times per day after meals for two
 weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. have seen dozens of nervous, run down people who were ailing all the time double. and even triple their strength aid endurance and entirely get rid of their symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days time simply by taking iron in the proper form, and doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. You can talk as you please about all the wonders wrought by new remedies, but when you come down to hard facts there is nothing like good

 trouble was that the old forms of in-
 acetate, etc, often ruined peoples teeth. and upset their stomachs and were not aSsimilated and for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. forms of organic iron all this has been overcome. Nuxated Iron for example, lis pleasant to take, does not injure the teeth and is almost immediately bene- |ficia1.

Sweet Potatoes as Silage

There is little difference in corn si- lage and sweet potato silage for dairy cattle ration containing either will cost about the same and the milk flow will not vary appreciably with the change from the one to the other. This has been shown by tests made at the Florida experiment station.
 Comparing the analysis of the two silages. there is found to be little diff ference in their feeding value. Ex- perience in feeding them has been that 100 pounds of sweet potato si- lage will replace from 160 to 200 pounds of corn siIage in the ration.
 Sweet potato silage is made much the same as any other silage. It keeps well and the cattle relish it. If there is an overproduction of sweet pota- toes this year it might be Il to store some in your silo, whef there will be no loss.

PREPARING WINTER MEAT

more of the mixture over each piece, until all is used. This amount is usually ample, but if pieces are very large, lit tie more plain salt may be finally scat tered over all. Cover the barrel with a wire screen to keep out mice, and allow meat to remain at least eight weeks longer, if winter is severe, or if meat freezes up soon after salting and remains frozen long time. It should be salted as soon as thoroughly coid, and before 1t freezes
 When ready to hang, wash off each piece with quite warm water and sprin- kle all over literally with powdered borax. Hang hook down-we use a bent wire with stout cord run through it and tin lid with hole punched in the middle midway of the string, to keep the mice off. After hanging, leave uncovered for a week or two, to dry off. Then tie paper flour sacks over each piece. Treated in this way, it is never molested by any insects, and will keep as long as desired
 DELICIOUS SCRAPPLE
 Our "scrapple" is especially relished by all who have eaten it. For 1t we use the heads, hearts and shanks, as we do not care for pigs feet jelly, and the shanSs contain much gelatin which is a desirable addition to the scrapple. Have the heads cleaned and cut in convenient pieceS, ulScardlnS eyes, ears, SnOut, teeth, etc Soak pieces overnight in weak salt water, and remove all skin with a sharp knife, also cutting out ear tubes and other undesirable spots. Scala the tongues with soda water and skin them, also skin the shanks, which is easily done by sitting lengthwise and peeling off with knife Boil all pieces together until meat will part readily from bones Then lift all from the broth, and set the latter off to cool. Remove all fat and return stock to fire. There should be at least three quarts for each gallon of meat. When boiling add salt and pepper as desired. and stir in corn meal as for ordinary mush, making it quite thick. Simmer for about an hour, the stir in the. meat, which has been freed from bones and run through the chopper. Add more seasoning if needed, simmer again until thoroughly blended, and pour into pans or dishes to harden.
 To use, cut in haf-inch slices, dip In Hour, and fry until crisp, on a very hot skillet This scrapple will keep a long time in a cold place, and some hard freezing rather improves it. making it dryer and firmer and easier to fry

By ANNIE E. JIMkIN

Good home cured pork is necessarily the farmers standby in the meat line for the greater part of the year. and some of our city friends whom we an- nually remember with gifts of fresh sat- sage anxiously look forward to our butchering time, as they say the equal of our sausage cannot be obtained in city meat shops. As several of our products have more than a local reputation for ex- cellence, I give here some of our meth ods of preparation:
 To begin with we have only young meat. We raise hogs for food and our own use only. Two young pigs are bought in May and are fed entirely on milk surplus, house waste, apples, etc, until about the middle of October, then finished off on corn. and when butch cred about December and weighed, they dress 200 pounds or more each. These are sufficiently large and fat, make more tender meat and cost much less than wintered over pigs.
 Not caring for bacon, all outside meat is made into sausage, with the trim mings, tenderloin, etc. If very fat some of the surplus is trimmed off and put In the lard.
 SAUSAGE IN CROOKS
 All our sausage, except limited amount for immediate use, is packed in straight gallon crooks and baked for about three hours in hot oven, covering with old tin lids while baking. When done the ball of sausage in center of crock is weighted down with saucers and irons until cold, then a little fresh melted lard run over to cover all the meat, and each crock tied up with parch- ment and newspapers. It should be kept in cold place, as freezing does not in- jure 1t.
 To cook. cut in slices any thickness de- sired, dip in flour and fry like fresh sausage, from which it cannot be de- tected. It is, good as long as it lasts, and never sodden with grease, as when fried and put down in cakes
 Old crooks which have become strong and grease soaked should not be used for the baking, but those on which the glazing is still good may be freshened by filling with solution of boiling lye water and allowing it to remain in them day or two.
 THE SALTING DOWN
 Occasionally we sell ham, and have numerous would-be customers continu- ally on the waiting list and begging for one Our hams and shoulders we al- ways dry salt as follows, but never smoke:
 For light, medium-sized pieces, mix together three quarts of salt, three pounds brown sugar, and two ounces of black pepper (ground)-no saltpeter. Salt each piece in tub filling the hook and packing rather thick layer over the cut surface. Sprinkle layer of plain salt on the bottom of the packing barrel, which should have holes for drainage, and lay the meat in carefully, so as not to dislodge the seasoning, and scatter

Down through the ages, in all the annals of history. will go the accom- plishments of woman in this devastat ing war of the nations. Personal ambi- tions temporarily relinquished, petty jealousies put aside, woman as a body, a glorious, self mmolating unit, is marching under the great banner of the Red Cross--to relieve. to succor, 10 help. Those whose training and whose strength will permit it are going forth to help, as near the battle lines as they can get; those who have du- ties at home that cannot be relin- quished are giving every moment of time that can be spared to the task of helping those sistetrs who have the greater opportunity-and without the helpers at home. the intrepid workers at the front would be sadly put to it to carry on their work.
 From all over this great land have come in the returns-money for the Red Cross; sums that expressed in many and many an individual case the slogan of Red Cross week in June-"Help till it hurts!' All over the land women are gathered togeth- CT, hours of each day, sewing, knit ting and otherwise working to send assistance to the units across the sea and to furnish comfort and succor to the soldiers-to the men who are fighting and to the men who are suf- fering-and to care for the loved ones that these men have left at home.
 CARE WOMEN AND CHILDREN
 Taking care of the women and the children temporarily bereft-or more hopelessly permanently bereft of their sole support, is an important part of Red Cross work. If you cannot knit sweaters and sleeping helmets for the soldiers, perhaps you can make little garments for wee babies and toddling children-whose fathers have gone and whose mothers are sorely over burdened to provide for the little ones at home. The Red Cross needs every thing-little frocks and coats, little stockings, petticoats and aprons. This work should be a labor of love to many a woman who protests that she simply cannot learn how to knit
 As for the knitters, they are legion and it is wonderful how fast war knitting goes. when one carries a knitting bag always on one's arm So that the work may be picked up the instant there is nothing else to engage the attention. One even sees women knitting in the department stores while waiting for parcels and change. And, en passant, is there any more le1Surely tune to accomplish I'D or two-or maybe several ribs? At least the assurance that such waiting mo- ments are being turned to good ac- count will save one's nerves from the fretting that usually follows exas- peration of temper.
 DONATE BABY CLOTHES
 If you decide to donate baby clothes to the nearest Red Cross unit beg of you, donate good ones! It does seem that any intelligent woman, with in- structions in hand, might be able to turn out garments for little children; but day spent at Red Cross head quarters examining the contributions that come in. would bring you some surprises.
