Stumbled on BURGLARS, Cache.

A burglars haul amounting TO ST.
500 was recently discovered by a gar
dener while digging Sup some flower
beds in Kingston, England. He was
preparing the beds for the winter
when he was surprised TO find ar
ticles of jewelry among the earth
turned up by his spade. Then he
called one of the other gardeners, and
the two Of them in q short time
brought to the surface some two or
three hundred articles of jeweiry, all
in gold, consisting of gold watches, c1-
panding wristlet watches, finger
rings, earrings, shirt studs, sleeve
links, albert and neck chains; and
other articles, some Of them set with
diamonds and other precious stones,
the whole being sufficient to ill the
apron of one of the men. The police
afterwards sifted the earth and sue
ceeded in recovering several smaller
articles. Later in the day the jewel
cry was identified as that stolen from
a jeweler whose shop had been broker
into by burglars.

Recipe for Delicacy That Tastes Elk.
~ceptionaliy Fine on Evenings When
Weather Is Cold.

pose. Boil over a 'slow" fire for
about one-half hour. Attend to stir
ring all of the time" while the kettle
is over the fire." and take the kettle
Off the fire if there is danger of the
contents running over" Watch care
fully this process of boiling SO as not
to allow the molasses to burn. When
a little dropped in cold water becomes
hard and brittle (make test with spoon
by dropping a little into cold water,
add a teaspoonful Of carbonate of soda
Common baking soda), free from
Jumps, to every two quarts of the boil
ing molasses. Stir quickly so as to
thoroughly mix and then pour on plat

creased beforehand.

the candy until it becomes a yellowish

adding a small piece of butter instead
Of carbonate of soda. Keep the hands
well moistened (dip occasionally ia a

100 Years Old

"The kidneys play a most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay"-so says q distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty Of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age by simply
slipping q cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking a little Anuric
before meals and live to be a hundred.

nice things which will be appreciated
by each member of the family.
This house has the outside saingled.
Ii desired, weather boards can be used
equally well. Either of the siding ma
terials gives a good appearance to the
house.
The house is of a style which was
somewhat common some years ago,
when the weather was allowed 10 color
the outside of implanted houses to a
grayiSh color. In keeping with this,
painting the house gray with white
trimmings will be found very satisfac-
tory. 1t will help to bring out that
quaint and homelike appearance.
There are nine-light French windows
in front on either side of the porch.
One of the windows is for the living
room and the other for the front bed
room. The porch, being located be-
tween these two windows, makes beth
rooms exceptionally light, since the
porch roof in no way obstrurts the
light coming In through the French
windows into either Of the rooms.
There are also terraces on either side
of the porch. Flowers or vines can be
planted in these and more cheerfulness
added to the living room and front
bedroom.
The front door enters directly into
the living room. The quaint exterior
of the house imparts a friendly feel
ing to the visitor. But on entering It
grows stronger. The beamed ceiling
and the large fireplace, with q mantle
and bookcases built on either side, al
ways give that old-fashioned, homelike
and welcome feeling.
Double swinging doors with panels
Of plate glass connect the living room
and dining rooms. The dining room
has n beamed ceiling, and a convenient
buffet is built on the inner wall. Both
Of these things arc at present very
popular and always show good taste.
The kitchen is unusually large, and
Is sure TO be admired by the housewife.
The windows in it are arranged so
that the kitchen table "a be placed

Ancient Hunuenot Privilege.

ruined churches in the war area, en-
joy a curious privilege I'm connection

guenots, who crossed the Chan

vocation Of the edict Of Nantes, were
granted by royal charter the right to
hold services in the crypt of the

centuries, descendants of these refu--

New Industry for Detroit.

1t is estimated that $10,Go0,00
worth Of the 1916-17 fur exports will
pass into the American channels be-
tore next June. The manufactured
product, of course, will more than
double these figures, for every n who
touches a skin increases the profit
which the ultimate purchaser must
pay to the ancient industry. The cream
OF this new business will center in
Detroit, one of the big fur manu-
featuring points of the country, New
York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Philadel-
phla, st. Louis and other cities.
