KEEP TROUBLES TO YOURSELF
The World, as General Thing, Has
Little Use for the Man Adj
dicted to Self-Pity.

The trouble with the man in little
trouble IS that he is inclined to pity
himself and imagine that he is the
only man who ever had a trouble.
All he can see in the moment OF his
irritation in his own burden. 1t seems
not to occur to him that at the very
moment he is wrestling with his diff
Guilty thousands of people around him
are fighting against far greater odds
and in much greater danger.
Trouble, anyhow, is a part Of the
game of life. Nobody ever went any
where or did anything worth while
without meeting it in one form or an
other. Let others pity you if they
will, but don't waste any time plying
yourself. The chances are that your
next door neighbor would be tickled
to death if such troubles as you have
were all he had to worry about.-Ex-

Hard Boiled Eggs.

j. Lester Hyman, farmer near Lo-
gansport, says that on Easter morning
he heard one of his Black Langshan
hens cackle in the hennery on his
farm. He hurried to the place, and
there on the floor lay nice brown
egg. 1t was still warm. The man pro-
ceeded to the house to fry the egg for
breakfast.
Giving it to his wife, who was at
the stove frying other eggs, he asked
that this fresh one be cooked for him.
On attempting to crack the egg to
place the contents in the skillet it was
found to be hard-boled. Hyman's
hopes of having hen that laid hard
boiled eggs were shattered when his
wife remembered that she had just
placed egg shells taken from boiled
eggs in the hennery and that the hard
BOILED egg found had undoubtedly been
left among them.-Indianap News.

is used, the space so provided being
employed to carry the steam.
Other Equipment Needed.
Other articles needed are barrels or
tubs for catching the juice, pipes for
conducting it to the pan, swimmers for
removing the scum, apparatus for test
ing the sirup consistency and barrels
or cans for holding the finished prod
uct.
In making sirup the blades of the
plants are stripped off, the sorghum
cut at about six inches from the
ground, the seed heads removed. The
sorghum is passed through the mill
with as little delay as possible. When
the weather is cool or there Is danger
of frost, the sorghum may be cut con-
Siderably in advance of pressing for
when properly piled, it will keep for
several days. The juice extracted by
the mill is strained and then run into
the evaporating pan. AS it passes
through the pan it quickly comes to a
boiling point and a scum rises to the
surface. This should be constantly
and carefully removed.
Sirup should be evaporated to
point where it contains not less than
70 per cent solids; that is, has
weight of not less than 11H pounds
to the gallon. If placed in containers
while boiling hot and properly sealed,
it will keep indefinitely.
The departments publication de-
scribes in detail the methods of manu-
facture, including the Qualification of
the Juice if such is desired, and the
utilization of by-prOducts. The latter
include the blades of the plants which
make excellent feed for cattle, the
bagasse (the stalk from which the
juice has been rem0veG, the scum
which may be fed to hogs in small
quantities, and seed heads which also
have feeding value.
The average yield of sirup an acre
is from 70 to 200 gallons, although in
some cases it has been as high as 400
gallons. The estimates on the yield of
seed an acre vary from 600 to 1,600
pounds.
The United States department of
agriculture has prepared a brief sum-
mary of information regarding the
growing Of sorghum, and the equip
ment necessary to make strip. A copy
Of this circular may be had by adj
dressing the department of agricul-
ture, Washington, d. c. Those de-
string more detailed information in re-
gard to the subject should ask the de-

A Feeling Of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a

Improved Living Conditions.

Perhaps, as the luxury taxes indi-
cate, not far from $S500,0O0,0O0 have
been spent on indulgence since the
armistice; yet there are signs that the
masses are not wasting all their in
creased income. Living conditions for
the labOring man have improved, and
he will never go back to the conditions
of the past. A Cincinnati company in
the iron trade reports that there is a
demand today for - bathtubs where
there was a demand for one ten years
ago. Certainly that is an Indication
of better living conditions and a sign
of progress in the forward march of

Took Throne From Sister.

1t is not generally known that the
king of Spain succeeded not his IA
Their, but his sister, the Infanta Mer-
cedes, who was, though only six years
old, queen of Spain from the death of
her father, Alfonso MI, to the birth of
the present king. Altogether she
reigned 100 days, probably the short
est reign on record. The Salic law
which bars females from the accession
to throne, does not operate in Spain
and until the sex of Alfonso MIS-
posthumous child was determined, the
eldest of his two daughters automat.
ically succeeded him.

AS simple, practical means of
helping relieve the acute sugar and
strip shortage, the United States de-
partment of agriculture recommends
the increased production of sorghum
sirup which. it is pointed out, requires
neither unusual skill nor expensive
equipment to make. Furthermore, the
methods of growing sorghum are sim
liar to those of corn and in that re-
Spect involve little that is new to
many farmers. Sirup manufacture is
so simple that it can be carried on
with profit by individuals utilizing
Small-SiZed outfits Of daily capacity
of 100 gallons or less. Where opera
lions on a larger scale are feasible,
community plants having a daily ca
pacity of several hundred gallons are
suggested by the department.
Sorghum strip Is palatable and
pleasant favored and is an excellent
table sirup. 1t can also be used as q
substitute for other sirupS or for
sugar in making certain breads, cakes,
etc, and as a substitute for a part
of the sugar used in making preserves
and the like. The cost of producing
it at home is relatively low and usual
ly an individual manufacturing it can
readily sell any excess over his home
needs to good advantage. Sorghum
sirup produced during the 1919 sea
son brought the producers from 90
cents to $3.50 a gallon, depending on
the quality, marketing conditions, etc.
Thus far the supply has fallen far
short of the market demand.

pearanCe to corn, growing about the
same height and possessing about the
same color 1t may be grown through

Mint Coming Gold AGAIN.

For the first time in four years the
coinage of gold was resumed during
May at the Philadelphia mint, the out
put having been $4,000 double eagles
with a value Of 100000. Though
working on one shift of eight hours,
instead of two, the mint also turned
out 8,S9O,0O0 pieces of minor coins Of
the value of 81, 427,99O. This included
100000 half-dollars, 2.1S6,OOO quarters,
100000 dimes and 100000 pennies.
In addition 100000 pieces of silver
and nickel were turned out for the re-
public of Cuba.

Honey Yield Hiqher.

The average yield of surplus honey
in 1910 was so pounds to a colony Of
honey bees, as estimated by the bureau
of crop estimates, United States de-
partment of agriculture. This is con-
siderably above the average of 45
pounds in 1918, and of 41.6 pounds for
the five years, 1887. The relative
proportions in which the honey of the
last two years was marketed are in
dicated by 50 for extracted honey, 81
for comb honey, and 10 for bulk honey.
About one-third of the product goes
to Outside" markets.

BEWARE TURKESTAN ALFALFA
Imported Plant Is Decidedly Inferior
to Our Native Seed-Yield of
Hay Smaller.

Large quantities of alfalfa seed are
being imported from Turkestan. This
Turkestan alfalfa, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture, is decidedly inferior to our ma
tive alfalfa as grown in Kansas and
Nebraska. 1t is neither so hardy as
our native alfalfa, nor does it yield as
much hay. Turkestan alfalfa seed
may be recognized by the fact that it
almost invariably contains Russian
knap-weed seed. These seeds are
slightly larger than alfalfa, chally
white in color and slightly wedge
shaped.

Is Chief Cause.

Careful study of tuberculosis has IT.

to mature. In growing sorghum for
strip care should be taken to secure
seeds of sweet sorghum variety, and
for planting in the North, one which
natures quickly.
Sweet sorghum is grown from seed
and is planted in rows about three and
one-half feet apart The plants should
stand from four to six inches apart in
the row. Approximately from five to
eight pounds of seed is needed to the
acre. Ordinarily planting time falls
soon after corn planting, when the
soil has become thoroughly warm.
The stalks of the plants are ready for
sirup making when the seeds which
form heads at the top Of the stalk
are in the late dough stage; that is,
just before they become dry and hard.
Necessary Machinery.
The machinery necessary for making
sirup consists of mill for extracting
the Juice from the cane and an evap-
orator for reducing the juice to sirup
The mill contains three iron rollers
between which the sorghum stalks are
passed to press out the juice. 1t may
he operated by a gasoline engine or
by a sweep drawn by horses.
The usual type Of evaporator con-
sists of a rectangular, llat-bottomed
pan of galvanized iron or copper.
Evaporation may be produced by d.
rect contact with fire or with steam.
In the former case the pan Is mount
ed on a specially constructed firebox
If steam evaporation is employed the
pan is provided with steam coils
which lie on the bottom Of the pan.

ENID BENNETT SOME "NAUCHTY, NAUGHTY"
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

It is several weeks since Enid Ben nett has been in town, but she is back again tonight in a picture just bub- bling over With fun and mischief. It's called Naughty, Naughty" and you take it from us, Enid fills the bill to perfection. The only reason she didn't get into more scrapes and cause bigger commOtion in her native vil- lage was because she didn't know how. But what she did was plenty, and furnishes five reels of merriment.
 At any rate, she woke that village up from a nice, peaceful snooze that had lasted for the past hundred years; and she jared her nice, respectable, sleepy sweetheart into something al- most approaching galvanic action, she changed the "pride of~the village' in to real girl, and what she did to the deacon of the church-oh-h-h!
 Drop around and watch Enid for a while tonight; you might get some good pointers.
