Questions and Answers

What can be used to Improve the
faUor of chops that are Dreaded
and fried?
Unless properly seasoned, chops
can become quite tasteless. Use
sufficient salt to taste and, if the
chops are dipped in egg to which
l tablespoon lemon juice has been
added, and then crumbed, the eggy
taste car be eliminated and sub
tie favoring achieved. Cook the
chops thoroughly, but not until
they are toughened.
Do you haze table of simplafed
measures and a0eights to guide IN
measuring for formulas? For e1-
ample, in measuring fats, what
part of pound is one cup OF
butter?
In measuring butter it is espe-
cially convenient to know the rela-
tive equals to avoid useless and
painstaking measuring. One cup OF
butter or lard weighs "a pound.
There are 2 cups of sugar to the
pound, 2 Of rice and about 2 cups
of chopped meat to the pound.
Flour measures about A cups to the
pound. When your recipe requires
a definite unit Of measure, as they
always do, it is helpful, also, to
know that vou have sufficient sup
ply on hand, from the number Of
pounds contained in the package.
How can I use the liquid In
can of vegetables? Is 1t sOGstefuL to
throw 1T aaOGn?
The liquid in which canned vege-
tables are processcd contains valu-
able minerals and has considerable
nutritive value. The liquid should
be cooked into the food and, as all
canned foods should be brought to
the boiling point before serving
them, this is a recommended pro-
cedure. If you want to serve the
vegetable plain, with just butter for
seasoning, save the liquid for use
in soup stock or in sauces or grav-
les. Storing it in tightly closed
jar in the refrigerator should keep
it from deteriorating.

Painful "Dengue Fever"
Is Traced to MOSQUITO

Dengue fever, the extremely painful
but seldom fatal malady that breaks
out In epidemics along the eastern
Mediterranean and in the East Indies,
Is spread by the same mosquito that
carries yellow fever.
Dengue fever itself appears to estab-
lish an immunity against yellow fever
and may be guard set up by nature
across the line by which the latter
might penetrate Europe and Asia.
These are findings from recent ex-
periments of the Dutch Institute of
Tropical Medicine at Amsterdam.
Fourteen volunteers allowed them
selves to be bitten by mosquitoes
which had fed on Dengue patients All
fell sick with the same malady.
Then monkeys We're infected with
oengue fever. 1t is much more fatal
among them than among humans.
Those that recovered were given In
jections of yellow fever. Only 27 per
cent died. Ordl4arily, yellow fever
causes 90 per cent mortality rate
among monkeys.
These experiments have greatly les
sened the fear of yellow fever out
break in the Dutch East Indies, where
Iengue is an almost universal expert
ence.

Preserve Freedom OF The Press

Seldom has any declaration of the
National Grange created such wide
spread and favorable comment as
it's outspoken utterance at its
recent annual session at Boise,
Idaho, in favor. of preserving of the
right of free speech and the freedom
of the press. Considerable discus
sion was given at pcise to present
tendencies toward official re-.
strictions of these two important
American prerogatives, and the
Grange set itself squarely on record
without chance of misunderstand-
ing by making the following enl-
phatic declaration .-
Whereas, the Grange has always
stood for the constitutional rights
of freedom of speech and of the
press; therefore be it
Resolved, that we oppose any re-
strictiOns of such freedom by an
arbitrary use Of the licensing
power.
Thoughtful Americans everywhere
and those who are responsible for
the conduct of the American press,
will heartily applaud this positive
action by the great rural organiza-
ton of the country.-Grange Pub

"2rodigal Son" Parable
Marvellous Short Story

TIE short story has always existed,
though it was not until the Nineteenth
century that the art of writing it was
consciously practiced. AS Sophocles
said of Aeschylus, these early authors
of short stories did the right thing
without knowing why. 1t was only on
rare occasions, however, that these
happy accidents occurred. Thus Pro-
fessor Baldwin, after an exhaustive ex-
animation of the 100 tales in Boccac-
clos 'Decameron,' decided that only
two of them are short stories in the
modern critical sense while three 9TH
ers approach the totality of impress
sion which is the result of conscious
unity in expression. The New Testa-
ment contains a short story which Is
a structural masterpiece. The parable
of the "Prodigal Son." which is only
500 words long in the authorized ver-
sion, satisfies the modern definition,
securing the greatest emphasis pos
sible with surprising economy of
means. In America the short story
had its beginning In the Sketch
Book" Of Washington Irving.

Chemistry May Yet Do
AWAY With Wheat Field

Without the help of skilled chemists
to analyze soils and fertilizers our
scientific plant breeders would be pow
erless.
They could never have given us new
types Of wheat which grow farther
north than ever before, whcats which
ripen from seed to harvest in so short
time that immense new corn belts
have been opened up, while the world
price of wheat has tumbled.
Chemistry may, any day, produce an
artificial wheat product. as it has
given US artificial dyes and drugs
which amount to exact laboratory
copies of what nature grows Fifty
years ago all the dyes used by man
were obtained from plants, bark of
trees, roots, insects and so on. Today,
these are superseded by thousands of
exquisite artificial dyes made in an in
finite variety Of shades, practically all
derived from coal tar.
This chemical development killed
the woadgrowing industry which
went on for two thousand years in
these islands. 1t finished nader
growing in France and ruined the in
digo plantations Of India. Many thou
sands Of acres were thrown out Of
cultivation, and millions Of money
were lost. During the next fifty years,
who can say that wheat may not be-
come factory product?
If drug like quinine and a dye
like indigo can be made in the labora-
tory, what is to prevent problems Of
nutrition from being dealt with in the
same manner?-London Tit-Bits.

MORGAN COUNTY CORN
HOG WORK BEGINS

Every interested farmer in Nor.
| gan county has the opportunity dur.
ing February to sign up to reduce
his corn and hog production in CO.
operation with the Agricultural Ad.
| justment Administration.
Amy producer is eligible to CO.
operate in this work providing he
has averaged over 10 acres of corn
or three or more litters of pigs pro-
duced in the years 1892 and 1893,
or both.
| Payments of 80 cents per bushel
less local expense will be made. The
contracted acres, which Will be at
least 20@o less than the average for
the two base years, will be apprais-
ed to determine the average produc-
| tion over the last 10 years. In no
| case will the production be esti-
! mated at over 65 bushels per acre.
This figure will be used in de-
termining the payment to be made.
The acreage may be reduced more
than 900 if desired, but in no case
will payments be made on more
than a reduction of 80 percent.
Payments of IS per head less To-
cal expense will be made on hogs
marketed if the number of litters
and the number of hogs marketed
are reduced $50 under the average
of the base years. The 1892 base
year" begins December l., 1881,
and ends November 80, 1882. The
1888 base year duplicates the 1892
example.
The corn reduction payments will
be made in two parts; the first
part will be paid as soon as pos
sible and will be to the extent of
Is cents per bushel. The second
payment will be made after the
middle of November The first pay
ment for hog reduction will be made
as soon as possible. 1t will be SO
per head on hogs produced. The
second payment of 81 will be made
about the first of September and the |
last payment will be made in Feb
ruary, 1885.
Producers are classified into five |
groups. The following types will be !
included in the first class. The man |
who owns and operates one farm
The man who rents for cash one |
farm. And the man who owns or
rents for cash one farm and oper-
ates in conjunction Herewith addi-
tional land rented for cash.
In the second group we have the
producers who operate only one |
farm which is rented under crop |
share lease or agreement.
In the third group are lass'fied |
the men who operate only one farm |
which is rented under stock |
share lease or agreement under |
which the landlord receives share
of the hogs or the proceeds thereof

the more complicated cases such as
where the producer rents from more

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. - A
tiny blaze at the White House a
few days ago and the speed with
which it was extinguished gave an
interesting insight into precautions
taken TO safeguard the Presidents
home.
The executive mansion has been
periled by flames three times in
its LAP years existence. The most
recent blaze was put out before
IL offered any serious peril. A pile
OF sawdust caught fire from an
oyerheated saw.
The first fire was on Aug. "a,
1914 when British troops applied
the torch TO the mansion. The
second was in 1866 in the admin
istration Of Andrew Johnson. The
damage was not high at that time.
On Christmas eve, 1929 a third
and costly fire swept the west
wing OF the White House and
caused damage of $65,000 II started
when President and Mrs. Hoover
were giving a children's Christmas

ALL
1t is difficult to write of the little
FELLOW whom this tragedy has stricken
SO grlevously-Joe Philley. At the ten
der age of eight years he is burdened
with an adults share of sorrow. Old
enough to realize the full import of what

know how to accept it, the heart of this
community goes out to him, yet none
can be of any great aid to him except to
pray that the Father of us all, Whose
ways none can understand will in some
way recompense him for the loss of the

The families of Mr. and Mrs. Philley
and of Mrs. Fitzgerald are assured that
