Well Balanced Tires.

Balance in tire means that the
tire must be so built as to wear even
" In all parts" said a manufacturer
recently. 1T would be foolish to pro-
duce, for instance, tread so excellent
that much Of it would be left after
the carcass had worn out and equally
foolish to provide side walls that
would outlast every other part Of a
dire. The ideal is q tire that will wear
out uniformly In every part"

As a general rule cooking helps to
sterilize food and keep it in an edible

ception to the rule Is found in the case
Of some eggs which were sent to SOL
oilers by their families. The prudent
housewife who boiled the eggs before
sending them learned with dismay that
they had arrived unfit to ear, while
those who had run the risk Of sending
them raw, in their natural state, were

MRS. JAMES CARTER CLARK.

Mrs. j. Thad. Kendrick, with her
laughter, jewell Jessamine, re-
turned last Sunday after a months
visit TO the ancestral home Uf Mrs.
kcndrick in Tennessee. The occa-
sion of the visit, mt this time. was
the illness of her mother, Mrs. An
ME Elizabeth Clarke, widow of tho
late Captain James c. Clarke, who
died about three years ago. Mrs.
Kendrck reached her home on Sat
urdny, and was grieved beyond ex-
preston to find her mother n corpse.
She had passed away the dav be-
fore. The funeral and burial occurr-
ed after. Mrs. Kendrick arrived. She
had the sad pleasure but gratifica-
ton of looking into the face of her
sainted mother, instead of greeting
her in life as she had hoped to do Mt
the end of her long trip. The ines
timnblc privilege of seeing each other
again was denied to both mother and
%ughtcr and also to II son, Mr.. Geo.
G.. Clarke, of TT. Worth, Texas, who
reached the bedside on the same day.
The children must wait while
now and greet their mother and she
them, in the Better Land. Mrs. Clarke
was woman of splendid physical
appearance and many lovely and fine
traits of character. She is remem-
bered by number of Tazcwcll peo-
pie, having made at least two Wis
it's to her daughter here some years
ago. Those who had the pleasure of
meeting her here, were impressed
with her superiority of her womanly
rRctcr.
Before marriage she was Miss
Annie Elizabeth Allison. She mar
rier Capt. James Carter Clarke when
she was only ID years of age and liv-
ed beautiful happy life with her
husband and children for nearly six
ty years. Death found her ready
when he called. She came TO her
death "likc a shock of corn cometh in
in its season." wrapping the sdrapery
of her couch about her "like one who
.ieth down to pleasant Dreams"
