Beware of Ointments for Catarrh ' That Contain Mercury As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly on the mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by T. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by Druggists. Price 75c per bottle.

Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps? No, never. Its foolish to fear a fancied evil, when there are real and deadly perils to guard against in swamps and marshes, bayous and lowlands. These are the malaria germs that cause ague, chills and fever, weakness, aches in the bones and muscles and may induce deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitte» destroys and casts out these vicious germs from the blood. “Three bottles drove all the malaria from my system,” wrote Wm. Fret well, of .Lucania, X.

FOUR CORNERS.

J. A. Hixson will be in the Chicago market purchasing stock cattle next week. VMrs. M. Jones and two daughters visited with J. D. Cooper and wife Sunday. John Finn of Tefft has purchased the company horse which was owned by a stock company of farmers, and is now keeper and sole owner, . V. .< y -V Miss June Jessup is now smilingly asking the customers who call at the Remley store "was there anything else?” It is like sunshine to see that smile. John Collins of Chicago Heights has moved in with his father-in-law, Sam Hershman, and will assist in farming the Hollingsworth farm in east \\ alker tp.

The M. W. A. of Wheatfield had work Monday night. You can't miss a treat if you drop in on any regular meeting night. Always something doing. The Royal Neighbors served dinner and supper Saturday. Thes were 'well patronized by both wets and drys, and the financial result was more than satisfactory. The dredge people are camping on the old school ground (V’an Patton.) They have five or six tents and the cooking is done by Mrs. White, wife of the crew boss.

Two Chicago dredge men were out last week putting the Marble dry land dredge together and giving the new crew a few lessons as to handling of it. A new dipper will be put on in a few days, and then all will be in good running order. M. V. Sands has purchased the M. C. Rockwell property in Tefft and is having same remodeled and fitted up for a hotel. Mrs. Lyons, a daughter, will occupy the house, and the hungry are assured a good meal at reasonable prices. Mr. Sands is also fitting up another room which would be an ideal place for a barber shop. Who will apply? Quite a number of prospective teachers wrote on examination at Knox Saturday. The questions were exceptionally difficult and some gave up the task at noon. So far as we have heard all arrived hbme Saturday except Elmer Hunsicker, who was trying to solve the question as to the antecedents of Moses and the lights went out—he missed his train.

In settling up the estate of the late John Barnard, deceased, the land in Kankakee tp., owned in partnership with F. G. Barnard was divided, F. G. getting the east % of section 33 and 40 acres on which the improvements are located. The remainder of the section and the 90 acres which lie directly north in the adjoining section goes to the widow and heirs of the deceased. May Ist came in with rain and snow, an ideal March day. Few farmers are able to get into their fields on account of continued wet weather, rather discouraging for a large acreage of corn. Oats that were sown on the higher land are good. Wheat is generally good through the north end of the county and should this weather continue we predict 50c corn in the nfear future.

The wrestling craze has struck Wheatfield. Saturday night Myers and Stewart, as the drawing card, and Wallace and Turner to get the sports worked to the pToper heat, took the town by storm. Turner won in the preliminary, and Myers in thermal. Quite a few dropped their mite, and now some are ask,ng where do I come in? If yoa want suckers come to Wheatfield. No bait required. The first report Saturday night sent to the Burrows “camp that Wheatfield would remain dry was received with great rejoicing, but later when the true result became known the joy was turned to sadness and tears of sorrow and disappointment reigned supreme tor Burrows could, in his imagnation, see huge schooners* of beer on the bar and the nickles and dimes passing into the till of the Wheatfield saloon instead of his’ own. as has been the custom for the last four or five years. If you have a boy who goes estray, or a daughter who marries a drunkard. from the influence derived from a saloon at Wheatfield, you may thank or censure some of the leading merchants of the town who put forth every effort to make the vote wet. By their efforts they have- given Wheatfield the distinction, but no credit, of being the only wet town in a dry county. By their effort and result of last Saturday’s election the standard of morality has been lowered and in the same ratio the prime movers have lowered themselves in the confidence and respect of many of the best people of this community.

FIREPROOF SMOKEHOUSE Combined With Storeroom, but the Latter Omitted. The Country Gentleman, from which these cuts and this article are reproduced, gives the following directions for the erection of a fireproof smokehouse and storeroom combined which has given satisfaction: The building Is divided into two sections. That facing the dwelling and situated at the right end in the diagram given herewith, being incased in stone walls and closed with dark shutters 'When desired, answers a useful purpose for keeping fruit, fresh meat and provisions generally. The left hand half of the building is occupied with the smokehouse. The diagram shows of the different parts. The ash pit, surrounded by stone walls and a layer of stone beneath, laid in water lime mortar and securely coated with the same, keeps the ashes dry, and no water can enter. The ash pit is entered by an iron door. Over it is a brick arch containing several holes the size of a half brick, through which the smoke passes into the smoke apartment above, which is

FIREPROOF SMOKEHOUSE

entered by the outside door on the left end of the building by the assistance of a stepladder. This smoke room is 6by 10 feet in the clear. The ventilating window at the end and the ventilating chimney at the top are both opened when the hams are smoking and closely shut when the operation is completed. The top of the arch forms the floor of the smokq room. A large number of hams may be placed in this room by the following arrangement: Pieces of hardwood plank eight inches wide and long enough to reach across the room rest on a ledge or projection from the walls on each side. These pieces of plank have hooks driven in on both edges far enough apart to receive the hams, so that a row may be hung on each side. When full each is pushed along to one side and another filled, and so on till all are in their places. The ventilators above are then opened, and smoke is started on the heap of ashes below. For this purpose cobs are used or unseasoned maple or body hickory. The smoking should be slow. By the

time the smoke has passed up through the openings in the arch it has become cold and cannot heat the hams. Ten or twelve days will usually be enough for the completion of tha operation, when the ventilators at the end and in the chimney above are closely shut The hams, being now kept perfectly dark and thoroughly excluded from the air outside, will keep in good condition. Flies will do no injury through the summer with a small fire started once a month and with the upper ventilator partly open at the time. This obviates the common and troublesome task of incasing the hams in muslin, whitewashing them or packing them in oats or ashes. It is obvious that the apartment used as a storeroom may be omitted and the smokehouse built alone. Double brick, hollow walls might be even better than stone. The rafters should be ten inches wide, strongly lathed, plastered and filled with sawdust to keep the room cool.

Farmers are entitled to use about a third of the country’s credit. Whatever amount of credit they use for intelligent road improvement will prove a good investment. - Saturday Evening Post.

Shropshires Good For Mutton. More Shropshires are fed and marketed in England than any other two breeds. In this country there are over 4,000 breeders on the membership roll and more than 328,000 animals recorded. The reason the breed is popular is because these sheep give better returns for money invested than any other of the mutton breeds. .■ 1 - : Early Variety of Corn. Indian Squaw corn is greatly relished by stock in. some localities. It is an early variety and may be planted for forage. It is said to mature in eighty. five .days under favorable conditions It makes a Air ear when allowed to mature.
