Poison Root, the Wheat of Barbados, Is Turned Into a Wholesome, Nourishing Flour

The cassora root, or manioc, is the «’heat of Barbados. Before it comes to be eaten, it suffers a strange conversion ; for, being an absolute poison when it is gathered, the natives submit it to a process by which it is trans-substantlated into wholesome and nourishing flour. The outside of the root is washed clean and it Is then held against a wheel, turned around with the foot, the Woad surface of which is made rough like a large grate. The grated root falls down in a large trough, appointed as receiver for the purpose. The thus obtained powder, or pulp, is a rank poison, but it is now put into a strong piece of canvas and pressed hard until all juice is squeezed out. This dried poultice is thm spread upon a-cloth to be yet more dried in the sun. until it Is ready for use. The dough, or “pone,” as the natives call it, is then put in a kind of pan standing on three legs, and about six inches high. This pan is about 20 Inches in diameter and slightly hollowed in the middle. It is half an inch thick at the edge, but thicker toward the middle. When the pan is getting hot, the dough is spread out on it and the natives keep pushing it down with their hands. This is to make it stick together, it being nearly dry. They then turn It round and round with a kind of battledore until it is done. The cakes thus produced are about as thick as pancakes.

THE CELESTIAL ARMY

I stood by the open casement And looked upon the night. And saw the west-ward going stars Pass slowly out of sight. Slowly the bright procession Went down the gleaming arch. And my soul discerned the music Of their long triumphal march. '**•* Till the great celestial army. Stretching far beyond the poles, Became the eternal symbol Of the mighty march of souls. Onward, forever onward. Red Mars led down his clan; And the moon, like a mailed maiden. Was riding in the van. And some were bright in beauty, And some were faint and small. But these might be in their great height The noblest of them all. Downward, forever downward. Behind Earth's dusky shore They passed into the unknown night. They passed and were no more. No more! Oh, say not so! And downward is not just; For the sight is weak and the sense is dim That looks through heated dust. The stars and the mailed moon, Though they seem to fall and die, Still sweep with their embattled line* An endless reach of sky. And though the hills of Death May hide the bright array. The marshaled brotherhood of soul* Still keeps its upward way. Upward, forever upward, I see their march sublime. And hear the glorious muslo Of the conquerors of Time. And long let me remember, That the palest, faintest one 'May to the diviner vision be A bright and blazing sun. —Thomas Buchanan Read.

Sustained Nervous Energy Always Demands an Outlet

It has been discovered that cases of people who have been exposed to the fear of being torpedoed are suffering from symptoms suggestive of shell shock. Doctor Ciunet, in a communication to the Neurological society of Paris, has described the mental effects observed when on board a ship which was torpedoed. After the first excitement following the attack it was observed that several passengers discharged guns into the air or into the sea. In other words, the sustained nervous energy found relief in letting loose the Immense energy concentrated in explosives. Similarly, it was well known at the front that a long day of waiting, in the trenches was productive of more cases of shell shock than a day of active engagement with the enemy. Next there were a few cases of suicide among the passengers. These passengers were on the whole calm enough, even on the life rafts. It was pniy wltfn they were on the rescuing

Livestock Condition* Flourishing. “There never was a (brighter prospect for the producer of pure-bred livestock than the outlook that we have at the present time," is a summary of a talk made by Russell Van Hook, secretary of the Jasper County Livestock association, at a meeting of the North Union Farmers’ club held last week. Mr. Van Hook points out the wonderful interest that has been manifested in better livestock in this and other localities during the last three year. He believes that we are at the beginning of an era in which every farmer will have puebred stock of some kind or other on his farm. “The breed doesn’t matter,” says Mr. Van Hook. “Pick out the breed that you like best, learn how to feed and care for it and you can hardly make a failure of it.” The interest in good livestock is at a fever heat. Practically every breeder in the locality reports that the demand far exceeds the supply and that farmers who have never manifested the slightest interest in good stock are taking sires at good prices. Lime Aid* the Corn Crop. An illustration of the effect of lime on the corn crop is to be found on the H. J. Dexter farm in Union township. Several years ago Mr. Dexter applied a carload of lime to the less productive side of one of his fields, which was thought to be acid. Since that time this side of the field has each year produced a better crop of corn or oats than the untreated side. This season the field is in corn. From all appearances the limed side will produce from 25 to 35 per cent more corn than the unlimed side. As the original cost of the application did not exceed five dollars per acre and as the lime will constantly produce this increased yield for years, the cost of improving this land was extremely low in comparison with the benefits. . Lime for agricultural purposes is now more easily secured than ever before. Crop prices are high and will probably continue so for some time to come. The farmer who has sour soil can make but few better investments this fall than a few carloads of lime to be applied to the land this winter. Culling Hen* Reduce* Cost of Egg Production. Experiments and demonstrations in different parts of the state have shown that the proper culling of the farm poultry will enable the owners to detect the non-layers and dispose of (them, thus saving feed and housing costs. It has been shown that the lowproducing hens lay only in the spring and summer and the later a hen lays in the fall, the greater is her yearly egg production. If, during July, August and Seeptember, the non-layers are weeded out, the average egg production of the flock will be materially increased. Iff numerous flocks, one-half of the hens have been culled out at thin time of the year, without lowering the number of eggs produced. A circular has been prepared explainihg in detail just how to detect the non-layers and giving other important information on the subject. Thia circular may be secured by application to this office. Bee Meeting Held Laat Friday. Every bee keeper on his job was the theme of the meeting of the County Bee Keepers’ association, held in the court house last Friday. Prof. E. G. Baldwin laid special emphasis on the value of requeening during the month of August in the proper wintering of bees. “Spring dwindling can often be traced to old queens," said Mr. Baldwin. “A colony may often have from 40,000 to 50,000 bees in the fall, but all of these may die of old age before spring and simply serve to consume stores without benefiting the swarm an any way. 10,000 young bees hatched after the middle of August will be of more value than fohr times as many older ones." T. C. Johnson, state bee inspector, made a plea for the use of movable frame hives as a means to prevent outbreaks of bee diseases. He laid stress on the fact that better bee keeping will do more to increase the production of honey than more bee keepers. The next meeting of the organization will be held during the latter 1 part of September.

MRS. CHAS PEDEN GAINS 27 POUNDS

Was Twice Examined and Each Time Told Operation Would Be Her Only Hope. “I have just finished my third bottle of Tanlac and have gained 27 pounds," was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs. Chas. Peden,, residing at 550 Mill street, Huntsville, Ala. Mrs. Peden is one of the best known and most highly respected women of that thriving little city where she has made her home for a number of years. “When I commenced taking the medicine,’ 1 she continued, “I only weighed ninety-eight (98) pounds; now I weigh one hundred twentyfive pounds and never felt better in my life. For years I have suffered with a bad form of stomach trouble, constipation and pains in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of torture and I was twice examined and each time told that an operation would be my only hope. I had fallen off until I only weighed ninety-eight pounds aind was so weak I could hardly get around. “I had no appetite scarcely at all, and what little I did eat would cause gas to form in my stomach which gave me palpitation of the heart, sick headaches and a dizzy feeling about the head. When those spells came on me, I would get awfully nervous. I worried about myself until I could rest and sleep but little. ___ “I had fallen oft until I was almost ‘skin and bones’ and my strength and energy were slowly leaving me. I had a dread of the future and could see nothing but the operating table and the knife. I had a perfect horror of an operation, but had made up my mind that it was either life or death and prepared to submit to it. I had made all (preparations for the operation and called on my sister to tell her goodbye, as I did not know whether I would live to see her again or not. My sister begged and pleaded with me not to allow them to cut on me and told me to wait and try a good tonic for a while. The next day as I returned from the consultation room I thought of what she said, and as I had heard so much about Tanlac, I decided to try it as a last resort, and stopped at the drug store and got a bottle. Of course, I had lost heart and had no faith in medicine, but to please my sister, I made up my mind to take it, and oh, what a happy day it was for me! “I never returned for the operation, but just kept taking Tanlac and my improvement has been so rapid that none of my clothes fit me. Right from the start I began to improve. The medicine seemed to take hold right at once. It had a soothing effect, and in a few days I felt no pain at all. I was so happy over my wonderful improvement that I sent for my neighbors to tell them how much better I felt. I sent and got another bottle of Tanlac and have just finished my third and feel like I have been made all over again into a new woman.

“As I have said before, I now weigh one hundred twenty-five pounds and none of my clothes are big enough for me, and I will have to make them over again. I now have a ravenous appetite and my husband says I am simply eating him out of house and home. I have even gone back to my coffee which I was told not to touch. Those horrible pains in my back and head have all disappeared and I sleep like a child. I am no longer nervous, and when I get up in the mornings I feel refreshed, cheerful and bright. I am now able to attend to my housework again and I feel as if I had started life all over. My husband is highly delighted and my recovery is the talk of the neighborhood. I do nothing but rejoice all day long over the recovery of my health and praise Tanlac to everybody. “I feel so grateful for my escape from the operating table and the knife that you may publish what I have said; you may if you Wish, tell other women suffering as I was to come and see me and I will be glad to tell them about my case.” Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & 'Hopkins,' and in Remington by Frank L». Peck.—Advt.
