SAUERKRAUT.

Some families OBJECT to the odor Of
sauerkraut while it is cooking, al
though they enjoy the food when serv-
ed. Fortunately We may now buy
cooked in cans, which we may heat
through the can, thus avoiding the UNI
desirable odor Place the can in hot
water to cover, bring it to the boiling
point, and allow the can of sauerkraut
to remain in the hot water some twen-
ty minutes.
The popular sauerkraut and VEIN
ers may be arranged in layers in a
baking dish, covered and baked in the
oven.
Pigs feet and sauerkraut, cooked
together, make a hearty and satisfy
ing dish, especially appropriate to
serve on a cold day, Many who have
made the sauerkraut in a primative
way on the farm prefer to eat it UNI
cooked
Sauerkraut is made from a combi-
nation of finely chopped cabbage and
salt and allowed to ferment.
The great factories, with their up
to-date machienery, produce the
product in sanitary, economical
manner. This saves thousands of tons
Of cabbage which would otherwise be
wasted and insures us a constant,
even supply Of this favorite food.

One memorable day during the sun
pleasantness" between the North and
the South, when the town of Purdy,
McNairy County, was burned by order
of Col. Fielding Hurs, who was cit
zen of the place, was one of three or
four little children at home with my
mother, when my father, DR.. Daniel
Barry, with lot of other citizens of
Purdy and vicinity, were herded like
sheep by Col Hurst in building on
or near the public square, possibly a
little while before the burning began.
When the doughty colonel, who did
many deeds of darkness said not to be
approved by the federal army author
tiles, was standing by the door of the
house in which the Southerners were
herded and detained, man named
Gillespie, somewhat advanced in age
and as gentle and soft-spoken as an
old lady Ga preacher II | remember
correctly went up to him and ask
ed permission to go home. Hurst flew
into a rage, drew a pistol and rammed
It into the face of Gillespie and roar
ed, take your damned old rebel face
out of mine"
Then my daddy stepped up and said,
Fielding, there is nobody at my home
but Liza and the little children, and
not knowing why am detained here,
my wife will be uneasy" Hurst at
once began to try to lash himself into
fury, saying. "0h, yes, you and your
damned brother-in-law, Kindel, (the
late DR.. W. Clark Kindel, dead many
years ago) have been harboring guer-
rillas to steal my mules" etc, and as
soon as he could get in a word edge
ways dad said, with smile, Field
ing, that's damn lie and you know
it." Hurst eyed the doctor a moment
and said: Dan, you can go home. :

that dad was a rank rebel, and father

LOWER CALIFORNIA RICH.

All that has been generally known
il the past about Lower California is
that it is largely mountain and des-
ert, but it is rich i'll minerals and
contains several towns and a pOpula-
ton Of over $4,000. Since the open
ing of the Panama canal there has
been increased activity III the min
ing industry. The peninsula was
partly explored by Francesca de Ulo
in 1889, but for a long time was re-
garded as an island. 1t was not I'M
til 1S43 that It's connection with the
state Of California was discovered.
The territory is self-goycrning, hay
ing a governor and legislature elect
ed by the people, but subject in some
respects to the federal laws Of Mex
leo. During the revolutionary trou-
bles in Mexico in 1912 it maintained
an almost complete separation. Es-

NEGATIVE NAN NOT POPULAR
Habit Some Have Of Always Looking
on Black Side Of Things is to
Be Oeplored.

Is there a negative man among
your acquaintances? They are quite
common. and if there is one in your
circle you are fully aware of his K
istence.
What is a negative man? He is
the man who always ees the mega
tive side, the black side, the deplor-
able side; the man who remarks,
Did you ever see such a miserable
exhibition" Or, Did you ever hear
of such a tomfool thing?" Or "Did
you see in this mornings paper that
bullheaded statement" and so on,
indefinitely. ,
The negative man is so from tenn
permanent or from habit or a mixture
Of the two. 1t surely is a habit with
some people, and the habit is not
hidden beneath a bushel.
The dyed-in-the-wool negative
man must be very uncomfortable
company for himself to judge by his
customary conversation when with
others. One such negative man for
a period of two weeks was not heard
to open conversation with an afirma-
tive remark.
The negative man may not be
wholly tiresome, he may in fact be
very amusing at times, but his mega
~tiveness is his dominant character
istic. There are no bright colors in
his spectrum.-The Three Partners.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Why Some Doctors Do Not Stay in
Small Towns

Editor, Times: We have read in our
local paper several articles taken from
your paper on the physician situation at
Corinth. There is one very important
point in this matter that you do not
touch upon and it is probably because
you do not know of it. Therefore, | will
endeavor to enlighten you.
There was good physician in East
Corinth short time ago. He was there
year and half. He left because the
people would not employ him when they
needed a physician, but would send to
Topsham and other towns. He was not
appreciated and we know that he was as
good as the average physician in the
state.
| know of another small town in the
state that has at this time one of the
most skilful physicians in the state, but
he is not appreciated. The people gener-
ally go right by him and to town be-
low, six miles away, where there are five
or six physicians The people seem to
have the idea that a physician settling
In small village is not up TO the aver
age in skill, when as a general thing
such is not the case.
These two instances will serve to
show why physicians win not 90 into
the smaller communities The people
think and act as though the physicians
in large towns and cities are much more
skilful than in the smaller towns, when
the fact is that such is not the case.

practiced in the state for more than 20

Better Acquaintance Series
No. 2

Dear Folks:
Now that have introduced myself
and incidentally broken the ice, ! am
sure you viii pardon me if / address you
little more formally. i like form,
but being rather modest prefer the
verb to the noun. We all know that it
is good thing to form habits, but the
trouble with that is, that it is easier to
form bad ones than it is good ones.
That's why address myself to you in
public, SO that everybody will know that
it is my business to help form good
habits. AS | recall, in my first letter,
was telling you about the Newlyweds
and the high cost of everything. My rea
son for doing this was because there has
been so little said about this vital mat
ter referring, of course, to the high
costsl but it seems to me that there
has been too much said and too little
done. Honest to goodness, / have been
working overtime to'get people to save
so that they would have something to
pay these high prices with. If they
would only take regular trips with me
to the bank, they would understand that
it is for their interest to get better ac-
quainted, not only four per cent, but on
account of the principal involved. Now,
to revert to the subject at hand, and as
said before, there has been too much
talk and too little work. We must not
lose our heads, but if we don't get to 3.
work, we may. Too much agitation gets
everybody excited and nervous, and YOU
can't tell sometimes what win happen. /
think that Governor Coolidge has hit the
nail on the head, and we ought to be
proud, for he's Vermonter He says:
NO progress will be made by shouting
"Bolshevism" and "Profiteersl" What
we need is thrift and industry Let
everybody keep at work. Profitable EN-
ployment is the death blow TO Boil
sheyism and abundant production is dis
aster to the profteer. Our salvation lies
in putting forth greater effort, in man
fully assuming our own burdens, rather
than in entertaining the pleasing delu
sion that they can be shifted to some
other shoulders Those who attempt to
lead people in this expectation only add
to their burdens and dangers" II seems
TO me that this is mighty good doctrine.
What do you Think Let's put it into
practice. I'm ready and viii be waiting
