CPreparei by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
If you live in the country and your
family likes mutton but is inclined to
grow tired of it before whole
carcass can be utilized, why not cure
and smoke the legs and shoulders?
Many farmers hesitate TO kin II sheep
or lamb because the family tires of it,
or part of the meat spoils before the
entire carcass is consumed.
By curing and smoking part of the
carcass may be used as fresh meat
and the remainder used at a later
date.
Farm-killed lamb or mutton is usual
ly one of the cheapest and at the same
time one of the most wholesome of
meats, but 1t has never been served
so extensively on the country table as
in the city. One reason for this, doubt
less, has been lack of knowledge of
how to preserve, when cold-storage
facilities are unobtainable, the mutton
which could not be eaten fresh be-
fore it spoiled.
Cure Shoulders and Legs.
lambs or mature sheep in place of one
of the hogs that he usually butchers
at home, and who cures the shoulders
and legs, can provide the family table
with meat variety at little cost ana
trouble.
Lamb or mutton is as easily cured
and smoked as is pork and produces a
product similar to ham, according TO
specialists in the United States depart
ment of agriculture, who have been
conducting experiments in the curing
and smoking of these meats. The cured
meat can be cooked in any or all
of the ways that cured pork shoulders
and hams are cooked, and adds variety
to the farm table.
The first essential thing in curing Is
to make sure the meat is Thoroughly
cooled. Meat should never be frozen,
either prior to or during the period OF
curing. The proper time to begin cur
ing is when the meat is Thoroughly
cooled and still fresh. Twenty-four TO
thirty-six hours after killing is the op-
perfume time.
Brine-cured Meat.
Many different formulas may be
used for curing mutton by the prime
method, but the recipe given below, II
followed closely, will give good results.
For each 100 pounds of meat use:

The man who works at hard labor
out of doors can eat, digest and as
simulate foods that would injure one
who is an inactive indoor worker. A
growing child who is very active will
consume and care for as much food
as the average man, because ht is
making framework and is cor er-
ing that frame with good. healthy
muscles. Food supplies the body with
what II needs for growth and for en-
ergy. There are certain elements
which are required to support life; ;
many of them in very small quanti-
ties are found in the body, but If these
are lacking the health begins to break.
These elements are carbon, oxygen
nitogen, sulphur, phosphorus, iron,
calcium, potassium. sodium and sew
eral others in small amounts. The
foodstuffs which furnish these ele-
ments are:
Examples of the different classes OF
foods:
Proteins-which yield carbon, hy-
drogen, oxygen, sulphur and some
times iron and phosphorus.
Proteins-Iean meats, fish. eggs
milk, cheese and peas. beans and lentils,
Fats-fat of meat, butter, cream,
vegetable oils, nuts and yolk of eggs.
Carbohydrates-rice ana other ce-
reals, potatoes, other starchy vegeta-
bleS. fruits. honey and sugar.
Mineral matter-fruits, green veg
etables. meat, milk, whole wheat and
other grains, egg yolk. water.
Fats-which yield carbon, hydro
gen and Oxygen-these are the heat-
producing foods. In winter we need
more of such food to keep up the
body heat.
bohydrates-which yield carbon
hydrogen and oxygen, whose mole
cules are in different arrangement
than in fats. These yield energy in
| the most economical form.

VISITS SCENES OF BOYHOOD.

On the 23rd ultimo took swift
ride with Marvin Stackhouse to Min
turn and Clio. We passed through a
fine farming section; the fields were
white with cotton, resembling mimic
snow. The farmers are some what be-
hind gathering their cotton. l sup
pose it Is due to the scarcity Of labor.
On our return trip was dropped at
the palatial home of Mr.. T. c. Sher-
wood. 1 enjoyed the hospitality OF
himself and family until Wednesday
On Tuesday Mr.. Sherwood carried
me to visit his old parental home
where he spent his boyhood life. The
scenery was new to me. The only
thing that seemed natural was the
old homestead. The pools Of water
through which I used to wade are
now the beds Of rich loamy soil. The
Cousin Patsey home as knew 1t, me
thinks I see her now as she came in
and out of the old home stead. Tues
day evening we visited the old Sweat
Swamp Cemetery where sleep the
bodies of DR.. Alfred Bethea. T. B
Brady, Cad Bethea, and Richard
Sherwood, all gone to their eternal
reward.

PIPE SMOKING ON
THE INCREASE AMONG
FASHIONABLE WOMEN

London, Nov. 8-Pipe smoking
seems to be on the increase among
women and fashionable cigar stores
display dainty small briars, some set
with precious stones. 1t. is said there
is a growing demand for these.
At one west London theatre where
smoking is permitted, two smartly
dressed women were seen the other
evening in box putting at their jew
siled pipes, and soon an old Irish
woman in the gallery followed suit,
Hers was a clay "cutty.'
In first-class railroad car between
Horsham and London, a quarrel
arose the other day between num-
der of non-smoking women and an
.gaher woman who refused to put out
her cigarette at her sister travellers
behest. 1t ended in one of the anti
smokers seizing the offending cigar
cite, gold mounted tortoiseshell hold
er and all, and flinging it out of the
window.

OVER CONFIDENCE
LOST TENNESSEE.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov 7.-William
J. Bryan has aliented himself from
Southern Democrats by his suggestion
that President Wilson resign. A storm
of protest has swept over Dixie and
the Commoner has been denounced
from the Ohio to the Gulf.
"Mr. Bryan has lost his right to
take any part in any conference as
to Democratic procedure" said G. P.
]. Mooney, editor of the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal, IN signed edi-
torial today. He is not fit to make
a suggestion to President Wilson, Mr.
Bryan went to San Francisco and
made a fight against Cox. That was
his privilege. Mr.. Cox won. Mr.. Bryan
said then his heart was in the grave.
AS far the Democratic party is con-
cerned it might as well stay there -
Mr.. Mooney continues, saying:
His Democracy has always been
tinctured by rotten theory of popu-
larism and opportunism."
After referring to Mr.. Bryan's fail
ure to help Cox in the campaign, Mr..
Mooney says:
"Mr. Bryan has made his living
from the Democratic party. 1t has
been his meal ticket for 80 years.
| He Grated himself into the nomina-
/ tion for the presidency in 1896. AS
soon as he was beaten he wrote a
book and took the lecture platform.
! He has coined his reputation as a
Democratic leader into a boX-office
asset"
In Arkansas the Democratic CEN
trail committee at Crittenden county
met and passed resolutions calling
upon Mr.. Bryan to "renounce his
allegiance to the Democratic party
and the United States
7 The loss of Tennessee has stung
Democratic leaders to the quick. 1t
was due to overconfidence, they say.
The Republicans threw their heavy
guns into the state. Senator Harding
during his invasion Of the south went
through Tennessee and rallied his Re-
publican forces in Chattanooga. Gov,
ernor Cox did not visit the state.
! 1--WE are going to make fight four
years hence" said one prominent
Democratic leader today. 1--WE have
only ourselves to blame. Our defeat
may be traced in part to certain Dem
ocratic politicians who in factional
local fights let down the bars to negro
voters. Of course the negroes turned
about and voted in the national cleo
ton, and they voted. almost without
exception, the Republican ticket"

COTTON MEETING NEXT WEEK
Pushing Campaign in Dillon County
for Cotton Export Corporation
Subscriptions.

The men behind the movement to
raise Dillon's quota of the subscrlp-
tions to the Cotton Export and I'M
port Corporation have arranged for
a series of meetings to be held in
different parts of the county next
week. The first meeting will be held
at the court house Monday morning
at IL o'clock. The second meeting
will be held at Latta in the after
noon, the third meeting will be held
at Lake View Tuesday morning and
the fourth will be held at Minturn
Tuesday afternoon. The speakers at
these meeting will be J. c. Rivers,
state warehouse commissioner, and
II. s. Johnson, of the Extension De-
partment of Clemson College. Dill
Ion has raised only one-fourth OF her
quota, and the purpose Of the meet
ings Is to bring forcibly to the at
s. tention of the public generally the
importance of promptly raising the
amount the county has promised. The
organization Of the corporation Is 60
ling along rapidly and Dillon will do
her part in making 1t success. Sub
-zcriptions are being received in cot
rten. liberty bonds or cash. The stock
will be called in this week and a
scharter obtained. This will put the
corporation in position to begin bus
dness at once. Germany needs thous-
ands of bales of low-grade cotton and
it is proposed to sell her these low
grades, taking cash payments and
the balance secured by paper endors-
ed by the German banks. 1t Is under
stood that what cotton is getting into
Germany and Austria is bringing big
prices, and if the cotton planter can
succeed in disposing of part Of the
low grade on hand the price of the
better grades should improve imme-
diately.
Everybody is urged to attend the
meeting scheduled for next week.
The only hope Of the south is to find
a foreign market for low grades, and
the only way to find this market is
through the Import and Export Cor
poration.
Subscriptions will not be called for
at these meetings, but plans will be
adopted and committees appointed to
carry on the work in each section.

= :PIGMIES HUNT ELEPHANTS
African Midgets Have Hard Time
Staying Biggest Beasts.

One Of the Queerest regions under
the sun-a land, peopled by midgets
scarcely four feet tall-has just been
explored by DR.. Leonard John Van
.denbergh, a Catholic missionary. AL
most a year ago the doctors party
entered the Congo seeking traces of
the tribe of Mabuti, which, living
deep into the jungle, had heretofore
repelled all attempts of white men to
learn Of its methods of living, its
beliefs and its history. DR.. Vanden-
abergh, however, after generous gift
y, OF salt and tobacco, succeeded in win
4: ming the favor of the pigmies and he
mot only lived for time among them
but he got their permission to film
them at work and play.
He brought back with him, along
with the pictures, numerous interest
ing stories of the Mabuti. Among
.iahem Is the account of the Staying Of
ran elephant, which is described as fol-
.sdows:
When they smell an elephant in
L the vicinity, the whole tribe goes out

,spears at him with steady hand and
eeye. The men climb trees and jump
from branch to branch as the animal
below them makes his harried way
through the underground. They
throw their weapons at him, their
aim being to strike him deeply IN a
vital part. They haven't the strength
tto throw spear with sufficient
Horce to deal a death blow. All they
can do and all they aim to do is to
have the weapon sufficiently imbed-
ded to impede the progress of the
animal as he is continually prodded
g.! from the sides and from the branch
,es above. They force him to butt the
spears into the trunks of trees, and
very often succeed in virtually max
ing him commit suicide by having
him force the weapons into his body.
They will follow the wounded and
: tortured beast for as much as a
month. When he shows signs of COM
.piete surrender, they deal the final
death blows by the whole mass of
them throwing their spears into his
: sides. Once assured he can do them
no harm, they swarm over his body
like so many ants and proceed to cut
away his flesh, which they eat. They
have no methods of preserving the
flesh They simply stay near him just
as long as there is anything to eat
Ihen depart to their village, taking
the much cherished tusks with them
They bury them in the ground and
keep the tusks there until some OF
the neighboring tribes come along
with offers of salt and tobacco.

How Old Is Ann?

The supreme court of Maine has decided
that II . woman refuses to tell the date Of
her birth to the election officers, she cannot
register or vote This brings from the New
York Times the suggestion Of substitute for
the requirement that voters give their age that
is a still further refinement of cruelty.
1t Is that all female voters be required to
register their finger prints with the election
board as q means of identification. This sug-
Eestion 10 founded upon the assumption that
the age Of the voter as given by himself or her
self is simply one Of the facts necessary for
identification and is not a very necessary one
at that
But there is one very important fact that
must be established, and that is that the voter
Is 21 years Of age or more. How this is to be
told from the finger prints is something that
the editor fails to explain.
, The judicious election officer will ask a
woman the date Of birth or some other ques-
ton that will establish under oath her right to
vote because she is old enough, but will not
bawl the question at the top of his voice and
neither need she answer it that way.
/ There ought to be more than one way to
get an unequivocal answer to the question:
"How old is AnnT' without getting Ann Tin
