-------------~------------ TO MAKE SUGAKlCURED HAMS.

To sugar cure hams use the follow ing mixture: One pound of saltpetre, one pound pepper, three pounds of brown sugar and ten quarts of salt for 1000 pounds of meat. Dissolve the saltpetre in very little hot water and mix with the other ingredients. Rub each piece of meat thoroughly with the mixture, being careful to fill every crevice. Lay the meat in a cool place for two weeks. when a second rubbing should be given. Each time the fleshy side of the hams should be well covered with the mixture. It should lie this way for from four to six weeks. Then, if it is desired the meat should be smoked. If smoked meat is not desired, it should be put in sacks and hung. If the hams arc not hung up before dange rof flies. each piece should he dipped in a kettle of boiling water. being careful to entirely cover each ham. Hold the hams in the boiling water for three minutes. Then lay on table to drain and rub we'll with the aforementioned mix ture. Put ill bags at once, tie securely and hang in dark meat house.

FIRST USE NEW DRAFT z z CALLS FOR BRICkLAYERS
Pershing Needs 1000 at Once CrOWder Issues Call to
 Local Boards.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The new draft machinery was invoked for the first time when Provost Marshal General Crowder made public today instruc' tions to all governors calling for the mobilization of 1000 bricklayers, urgently needed by General Pershing at once.
 Local boards are called upon to ex' anime questionnaires now being re- turned and report as rapidly as pos sible on the number of bricklayers of draft age available for service. Only white bricklayers will be taken, either by draft or by voluntary introduction into the military service through local boards. They will be forwarded to the aviation section, signal corps, at Kelley Field. San Antonio, Tex. The order is the first application of the special occupational classified tion provisions of the new draft reg ulations. The bricklayers in any boards jurisdiction will be assembled without regard to the men in any other occupation.
 General Crowder's letter to the gov. ernors indicates that similar calls for skilled men in other trades are to be expected.

Georgia Farmers Wife Dreaded an Operation. "TaDlac Has Made Me as well as Ever Was," Mrs. Tankersley Says.

"I shuddered when they told me I'd have to be operated on, for I couldn't bear tho idea of going under the surgeons knife, and thank heay- en, I won't, for Tanlac has made me as we'll as I ever was," was the re- markable statement made by Mrs. J. N. Tankersley, whose husband is one of the most prominent farmers in Irwin county, living some three miles from Ocilla, Georgia.
 q suffered from indigestion for several years" she continued "and everything I ate would nauseatc me. I had constant pains in my side, my nerves were all unstrung and I couldn't sleep at all we'll. I became discouraged and blue and I got so weak I had to take to my bed once for two weeks and when l got up had to go hack again for two or three weeks longer. My condition was pitt able, for they said I could never get well until I had my appendix re- moved. I just wouldn't consent to it.
 Tanlac had helped others in my con- dition and I decided to see if it would help me too. I have taken three bot ties so far and l haven't had single symptom of the indigestion nor the pains that I thought were appen' dicitis since. I sleep perfectly sound at night and Lave gained a goot health as I ever was. l gladly give this statement of my own accord, fol I want other sufferers to know tho fact that there is a medicine that will relieve them, and it's name is Tan lac"

Correspondence of The Associated

Correspondence of The Associated
 Amsterdam, Dec. 27.-Ten per cent of the children born in Prussia in war time are illegitimate, according to statements made in the Prusslan House of Representatives during the debate or the vital statistics. The Berlin Town Councillor, Dr. Engel in an article in Vorwaerts, makes the statement that this large proportion of illegitimate children is "evldence oi an appeal for the withdrawal of al! distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate children:
 "Paradoxical though it may seem, this great number of illegitimate chll' dren represent measure of the moral ity of our people They afford evil dence that, after all, the idea Of the restriction of families, an idea which the war, with special emphasis bids us combat, has not yet penetrated the masses.
 "The terrible fact, however, is that only 136 out of every 1000 illegitlmate children reach their nineteenth year, as compared with 512 in the case of legitimate children. The death rate of illegitimates is convincing plea for the improvement of the situation of unmarried mothers and their children. There should be uniform birth certificate. and women who were engaged to fallen soldiers should be , awarded the title Frau
 "War-t time, owing to the card sys- tenn, is torture for the unmarried mother. Every journey for a food card is a path of thorns and a source 1 of fresh modification and humiliation In the carG-iss,ing office, and again in the shops, she must again and agair l make confession of her fault. The awarding to her of the title Frat 1 would remove many obstacles ant ! much mental torture"
 The number of unmarried mothers i in Prussia, Dr. Engel states, has now
 reached a total of nearly 100000 yearly.

Smith of the bureau of fisheries, dd3artment of commerce. reports that as a result of the trip tAe natives arc well fortified against the severe weather that has already set in and will be much more comfortable and contented in consc quence. Great difficulty was experi- enced in unloading supplies ana talk ing on the island products, as tnf Bearing sea was constantly swept by tempcstuous winds.
 The return cargo consists of 1.25$ sealskins. and various casks of cora ed seal meat and other products, as we'll as $500 sacks of bones whicl will weigh about 3oo,000 aud 100000 pounds.

PATENT MEDICINES
 MUST TELL TRUTH
Misbranding of Hundreds of Alleged Cures Corrected by Food and
 Drug Act.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 26.-Ten years ago there was no ailment to which human flesh is heir that some maker of patent medicines did not claim to be able to cure with such ease that it seemed almost the height of foolishness not to part with the price for his nostrums.
 Today, because of the operation of the federal food and drugs act, the extravagant promises of cure that characterized the labelling of the pat ent medicines of 10 years ago have practically disappeared from the prep arations that enter interstate com merce. They may, however. still be found in newspaper and other adver- tisements that are not subject to the act. The pure food law" as it is known, is concerned only with the package as it is shipped in interstate commerce. If one questions the truth of a newspaper advertisement of a patent medicine let him read the label on the carton or bottle at the corner drug store. The latter will come nearer telling the truth about the medicine.
 ,Misbrandings, in regard to healing value of hundreds of alleged cancer cures, so-called "cures" for coughs, colds, consumption, kidney diseases, epilesy, St. Vitus dance. and the like, have been corrected. This is told in tho annual report of the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, which reviews the op- eration of the food and drugs act in the safeguarding of the health of the American people.
 The law requires the labels of patent medicines to declare the presence of any habit-forming drug, such as op' ium, cocaine, or alcohol, thus prevent ing the innocent development of the drug habit. This provision of the law is particularly valuable in warning infant soothing syrups containing opium.
 When the act went into effect, drug l addiction was so prevalent that ; frauds in the treatment of the victims were frequent and in most instances | the remedy advertised so forcefully by the labels contained the very drug from which escape was desired.
 In 1907, the Bureau of Chemistry found that 50 soft drinks contained 1 small amounts of cocaine. Practical, i, all of these were suppressed. Th' food and drugs act is regarded as hay l ing been an important factor in bring ing about passage of the Harrison
 anti-narcotic law, which more effec lively controls habit-forming narcotics
 Much has been done, the report says
 to control the indiscriminate use o
 so-called headache remedies contain
 ing dangerous, depressing drugs, an
 of dangerous cosmetics making clair
 to healing value; and in raising tn quality of the supply of crude drug
 through the examination of imports
 As a result of cooperative .work wit
 the Postoffice Department, a numbe } of fraud orders were issued by tha
 department preventing the use of tn mails in promoting the sale of fraud ulent medicines.
