examination was a necessarily. nasty
one. The detection of incipient tuber-
culosis is not possible through such
means.
A thorough examination by an ex-

now receiving, and it is not strange
that so many tuberculosis sufferers

But it is realized that the. disease

it is the part of wisdom to keep these

SeasonabIe Recipes.

A most delicious dessert very simple
and easy to prepare and one that Is
most attractive to look at is junket,
served in sherbet cups, topped with a
spoonful of raspberries or any sweet
ened fruit and over this spoonful OF
sweetened whipped cream.
To prepare the junket take a junket
tablet and dissolve 1t in tablespoon
full of cold water. Warm pint Of
milk until just luke warm, like new
milk, add the dissolved tablet and stir
well to mix it thoroughly through the
milk, flavor and sweeten to taste and
pour into sherbet cups. Let stand in
the kitchen until the junket is firm,
then set on ice. Fresh berries Of any
kind when crushed and mixed with
equal measures of sugar will keep in
definitely when carefully sealed and
kept in cool place. Junket tablets
come in small wooden box and will
keep well until used.
Canned fruit may be used for this
dessert, but it is not as good as the
fresh.

And sing you asleep when you're weary,
And no one shall know of our beautiful

But you and your own little dearie.
And when I'm tired I'll nestle my head
In the bosom that's soothed me so

And the wide-awake stars shall sing in

Fifteen per cent of an egg is pro-

condition after eating.
Now here is good news. An easy,
sure relief has been found to get rid OF
the harmful acidity and gases in the
stomach. 1t is called EATONIC, a
good tasting compound that you eat
just like candy. A tablet or two of
EATONIC after meals will work won

sure, quick comfort EATONIC brings
until you do try it. Use EATONIC
after your meals, enjoy good appetite
and get full strength from fhe food you
eat. At the same time protect your
self from summer stomach and bowel
miseries.
Get a big box of EATONIC from
your druggist today. He will tell you
that people who have used EATONIC
say that they never dreamed that any
thing could give such quick and won
derful results. 1t costs only SOC a box
and if it fails in any way, your drug

"Keep your stomach in good work

So keep your stomach sweet, cool

Magnetic Storms Interfere
With the Flight of Pigeons.

One of the many explanations that
have been offered to account for the
fact that migrating birds are able to
find their way by night and in cloudy
or foggy weather is that they are SEN
sitive in some way to currents OF ter
restrial magnetism. and therefore oil
rect their flight by the magnetic me-
ridians. This suggestion was put forth
by M. A. Thauzies, French pigeon
fancier, who declares that carrier
pigeons make poor flights during the
occurrence of magnetic storms. he
also asserts that the general use Oh
wireless telegraphy has diminished the
reliability of the birds to surprising
extent.-Popular Science Monthly.
