How to Make Gingerade.

Gingerade, one of the most simplest
Of the home made beverages, is also
one Of the best. When bottled it
looks a bit murky, but when the
sediment settles and when ready to
use it is practically as clear as water.
The ingredients are:
Three pounds granulated sugar,
three eggs, whites beaten), two oun-
ces powdered ginger, two gallons wa
ter, one lemon, one quarter cake of
yeast.
To make dissolve the sugar in the
water Moisten the powdered ginger
with warm water. Beat the whites of
three eggs very stiff, mix in the mois-
tened ginger and stir all into the
sugar and water strip. Place the
liquid over the fire and bring slowly
to boil when it boils skim the
foamy substance off the top. Set The
liquid off the fire and allow to cool.
When it is cold add the strained juice
OF one large or two small lemons, and
one quarter cake of yeast, dissolved
in one tablespoonful of warm water
Mix the liquor thoroughly, let settle,
then strain through a fine cloth and
bottle. Cork tight and set in IA cool
place. The gingerade is ready to use
in three days. Many persons will
find the gingerade a trifle too sweet.
The amount of sugar may be reduced
il desired. Serve with cracked ice
and lemon slices or combine with
lemonade or grape juice

Heavy Toll Taken BY Three Diseases.

One-third of all the deaths in the
United States in 1918 were due to
three causes-heart disease, pneu-
monia and Notwithstanding to
the Census Bureaus annual compilaA-
ton of mortality statistics, made pub
lie last week. During the year there
were 1,06S,932 deaths, representing
a rate of 14.2 for every 1000 of popu-
lation. The death rates from pneu-
monia and heart disease showed a
decline over the previous year, but
there was an increase Of five points
in the rate of death from tuberculosis.
Influenza was responsible for 12,-
974 deaths, or 17.2 per 100000. This
rate was the highest for any cpl
demic disease in that year, but lower
than in the preceding year, when it
was 26.4.

The hospital is owned by DR.. c. E

Office of DR.. Conn.

not.
The hospital was built some years ago
by the Denison Improvement company
but lacking the cooperation Of all of
the doctors of the community it has
never been self sustaining. Hundreds
of the people of the community have
been treated there and these people and
their immediate relatives and friends

WHAT "SH0DDY" REALLY IS
Most People Imagine the Term sIsnl-

TO most people the term ''shoddy"
signifies something cheap and nasty,
but goods made from the best-class
rags are superior to many cloths made
from low-grade woods. Z. :. A re-
vival in demand Is the more likely, as
one of the great Offices Of the shoddy
trade is to keep down the level Of
prices for wool goods. The use Of sub
stitutes for wool has in the past been
due to the insufficiency Of the worlds

WIR TOOK GOLD FROM PUBLIC
And Since 1915 the Production Of the
Metal Has Been Decreas-
l ina Steadily.

& The world situation Of gold has
been the subject of much discussio' 1,
and speculation. The war has caus ed
the accumulation Of gold, in sxate
hanks: and treasures, and tax en- it
away from private banks and t. ,e pub
liz. The holdings Of state b: INKS and
TREASURES have increased ,,nce 1913
from about 63 per cent @ 4 the; total
stsck to about 81: per Ger It. This has
been compensated for " the issuing
81 paper money, and ir i some countries
the paper issue has b zen so far in ex-
cess Of the gold sur ply that serious
problem has resr Iited, remarks Sci
enti6c American.
In 1914 the United States reported
70 have had ST. ,611, 1923 in gold and
3738,563, 100 In silver, and in 1919
eAm2, OS7, 81 70 in gold and $552, 6s5 ,692
q silver, An increase Of 65 per cent in
scld.
Tho production of gold has been
steadily decreasing since 1915, when
the highest point was reached. In
th7k year the worlds production Of
ssIid was $4es, 724,91s, of which the
United States produced $1O1 ,O35, 700,
South Africa about $1Ss.OOO.OOO, and
Australia about $5O,OOO.OOO. In 1918
the world production was 1917, 100000,
Of which the United States contributed
&eS, 493,50O, South Africa $71,6OO,O 900
and Australia $28. 100000.
Recently the restriction on gold has
been removed by the United States.
aDd decided movement has taken
place. England has not vet raised
the embargo on gold. because of the
fear Of depicting her gold supply,
which it is necessary to maintain at
all costs. Remedial measures sug.
gested have included raising the bank
rate, 10 check exports and increase
imports Of gold. These measures, it is
asserted, would check the production
OF nonessential commodities and the
tendency toward speculation which
lew money rate encourages.
& Australia has placed the expectation
OF gold in the hands of gold pro-
ducers' associa ton, and they are per-
mitted to sell their gold for three
months and thereby may procure
premium over the standard price. This
move was apparently relief measure
calculated to Offset the increasing
price of producing gold.
There is nothing suggestive Of
eold embargo in Germany. On the
contrary the country has begun to
send gold to, the United States to pay
fot foodstuffs and raw material, which
latter she Is sadly in. need Of. Ger
many has cleverly unanswered her gold
