Our best physicians of the present day seek to cure patients by the use of food and right living, rather than heavy drugs, and .this is the, true method, for only from food can the body be rebuilt. Many people, after living on poorly selected or badly cooked food for .a. long time, and when their ailments be- come chronic, expect the doctor, with some magic potency, to instantly re- build them. This is not possible. The only true method is to run as quickly as can be, from poor food to good. A young lady says:. "I was variously treated for my nerves, stomach, lungs, etc., but none of the treatments gave me relief. "About a year ago when my appe- tite failed completely and I began to have sinking spells similar to faint- ing, I took all manner of tonic and stimulants, but they were of no ;ef- fect. I had been brought to quit thinking coffee and taking Postum in its place and gradually began to get a little better. "Someone suggested that if I found Postum so beneficial I had better use Grape -Nuts food, .as they were both the children of one brain. I com- menced on Grape -Nuts food for breakfast, ha=ving Postum with it. I found the food so dainty, delicious, and appetizing that I always looked forward to breakfast with pleasure. "Shortly after commencing this diet, the wretched pain in my side was greatly relieved, and now, a year later, it has gone entirely, also the, sinking spells; in fact, my pale cheeks have changed to pink, I have gained (back more than the, twenty pounds I lost, and am thoroughly well in every Way..

As the price of eggs drops during the warm summer weather, and it becomes a question whether much profit may be derived from their sale in the regular way, the wise poultry grower will consider how he may keep up the price for what he sells, or pre- serve his stock as it accumulates, in such a way that he will obtain a much larger price and considerably more than pay him for the trouble to which he has to bring about this re- sult. In the first place any. eggs required for sale as food products, sad not for breeding purposes,. should be infer- tile, Fertile eggs become unfit• for human food almost as quickly as milk when subjected to the same tempera- ture, and when we consider how carefully our health departments safeguard the sale of this product, it is some wonder that some method is not devised to absolutely prevent the marketing during the hot months of eggs less likely to spoil than is now in practice. It is a mistaken idea that eggs have to be put into an in- cubator or under a hen to start to hatch. The fact is that the germs begin to grow just as soon as it is subjected to a temperature of 90 or above. Whether this be behind the kitchen stove, or on a hot country roaden route to market, on a plat- form at the depot awaiting shipment, in the country store waiting for the usual twenty or thirty cases before sending out, in the pantry waiting un- til the case is filled, or when you have a chance to go to town, or in the house under broody hens, when they are not gathered frequently. Why produce such a perishable arti- cle at alb when the remedy is so sim- ple, just by "Swatting the Rooster," or removing him from the pens from which the eggs to sell come. An in- fertile egg will keep so much better than a fertile one that there is hardly any comparison between them. In- fertile eggs could be placed in an in- cubator for twenty-one days,—the hatching time, --and used for cooking purposes, and it is doubtful if they would be found in the least objection- able. But what of the infertile egg that has not matured a chick? The stench from it is terrible] This is the relative condition of the fertile and infertile egg when subjected to heating under the same circumstances and gives some idea of the value of taking precautions to have only in- fertile eggs produced at this time of year. By guaranteeing that all eggs are infertile, that they can be depended upon to keep as long as possible, and supplying them in attractive contain- ers, it is possible to obtain always several cents better than the market price for them. If the price drops too low, it will pay anyone who will do so to use one of the many ways that can be used for preserving the eggs until later in the year, when eggs are scarce and good prices prevail for well -kept eggs. Eggs to be stored, in the first place should therefore be from hens having no males running with them, because an infertile egg keeps longer, even without the use of the preservative, than a fertile egg; second, perfectly fresh, for not only will they keep bet- ter, but if an egg that has begun to decay is placed in the same vessel with fresh ones, it is likely to affect all the surrounding eggs; and, third, perfectly clean, for filth of any kind adhering to the shell , will taint the preserving medium and thus taint the eggs. In' placing eggs in the preser- vative be careful to see that none of the eggs get cracked. Keep them in a moderately cool room where the temperature may be kept fairly con- stant. A dry clean cellar is a suitable place. There are several very good ways of ..preserving eggs, and one of them can be selected that will suit the ability of the user to obtain the ingre- dients in his own locality. Of the many methods for use on a small scale none has proved more success- ful than water -glass (sodium silicate). This is a very cheap product, and can usually be secured at not to exceed fifty cents a gallon, and one gallon will make enough solution to preserve fifty dozen eggs, so that the cost of material would not exceed more than one cent a dozen. Pure water ,that. has been boiled and then coaled should be used. To each fifteen or twentyquarts of . water one quart of water -glass should be used. The solu- tion should be prepared, placed in the jar or other vessel, and the fresh eggs added from time to, time until the jar is filled, but/be sure that there are. two inches of solution always cover- ing the eggs. The eggs should not be washed before packing, for washing injures the keeping quality, probably by dissolving the mucilaginous Coat- oat- ing. A good limewater preservative may be made as follows: Thirty gallons of water, 10 pounds of salt, one-half bushel of finely slacked lime. After mixing thoroughly allow the solution to stand two or three days and 'then remove the clear, -liquid by dipping or by means of a siphon. Place the li- quid in a tub or other suitable recep- tacle and place the eggs therein, or the eggs may be placed in the vessel them. Have at least two inches of liquid covering the top of the eggs. Limed eggs can be discerned by the roughness of the shell. Before boil- ing eggs that have been preserved in the foregoing ways they should be Punctured with a needle, otherwise they will be apt to crack as soon as placed in hot water, owing to the pares being closed and no outlet al lowed for the air in the egg, Eggs can be preserved for sever., months in dry salt. Bran can also b used with fair results, but neither these methods is as satisfactory the first two mentioned. There must always be at least two inches cover- ing the eggs with these two methods also.. Cold storage is undoubtedly the best and most practical method of presery ing eggs in large quantities in a com- mercial way. As the processes by which a low temperature can be main tabled for an indefinite period have beeome more and. more improved the greater has been the number of eggs stored, until the cold: storage business ch has reached suproportions that it has a considerable influence on the price of eggs, tending to lower it in winter and raise it in summer. A record of twenty crates of eggs stored last season in Buffalo will give some idea of the profit in this meth- od. These eggs were shipped in when they were selling for table use at 17 cents per dozen. This would make the total $102.00. These same eggs were sold in December at an average of thirty cents a dozen, which made a total of $180.00, or a difference of $78,00 in favor of cold storage. The cold storage plant charged. two cents a dozen for the period, which made a total of $12,00 far stor- age. To this is to be added $6.20 ex- pressage and the commission man's charge of $12.00, making a total of expenditures of $20.20 and leaving $47,80 clear and above what the cost of storage and other expenses amounted to, There is no question that storage in this way properly handled is very profitable. Burns and Scalds. In life 'we hart to take risks khat is part of the game, And no one can play his part manfully who is r=ot prepared to do tl i-, whim it is sca- sonable and need;'ul so to do, 'then the chances of c.vmrd or benefit are suffici.cttly in ale's favour, or when it would be pusillanimous or cowardly not to face the :music. The wealthy travellers on the unfortunate Lusia- tania doubtless viewed matters in this light—the chances semed great- ly in their favor. And, however bit- terly we deplore the sad end of so many valuable lives, we cannot but profoundly admire their pluck, and ever regard with the deepest respect their brave constancy and determina- tion not to be frightened out of what they had resolved to do. But for all that it is unwise and even foolish to take risks that involve no appreciable reward in case of suc- cess, and that are easily avoidable. Andre went out to seek the North Pole.

That was brave in- deed, but at the same time it was a utter fool -hardiness. • This may seem a long way form the titular subject of our article. But so many burns and scalds are the result of sheer carelessness and neglect — particularly where young children are concerned.

After a day or two local symptoms grow less, and except for a little an- aemia and weakness, the sufferer will a be virtually well. In more severe cases all the symptoms are more viru- lent, the swelling and congestion ` much greater, and the whole throat is covered with a thick, grayish,, false membrane. In unfavorable cases, stupor or delirium appears, the false membrane spreads from the pharynx to the larynx and obstructs the breathing, or the heart fails. In the malignant eases the outcome is inevitably fatal. The most dang- erous complications in all cases of diphtheria are pneumonia, which is to be greatly feared in the laryngeal type; heart failure, which is possible in all severe cases; and paralysis, which sometimes occurs as a. result of the poisoning of the system by the toxins,. In ordinary eases the para- lysis lasts only a, few weeks, al- though in mare severe cases there; may be great atrophy of the muscles, and recovery may be delayed for months. The treatment of diphtheria is a matter entirely for the physician, for it consists first of all in the im- mediate administration of antitoxin. —Youth's Companion. first and the limewater laced over ED: 6 interest. p ISSUE 29-15. The Kaiser's Train. Whenever possible the Kaiser when travelling between Berlin and the fighting -line uses his luxurious State train, which is a veritable palace on wheels.Six coaches, each weighing over sixty tons, compose the special train, and one of these four are re- served for the Emperor and his suite, and the other two are used for kitch- ens. The second coach in the train is the one reserved by the Kaiser for his personal quarters, and it contains a salon, bedroom, dressing -room, bath- room, and sleeping apartments far his bodyguard. The salon is panelled in. the wood of an ancient cedar tree taken from Mount Lebanon, the gift of ex -Sultan Abdul. Hamid of Turkey. The floor is of black wood taken from the piles of a wooden bridge built across the Rhine by Julius Caesar in. the year 55 B.C., while the ceiling is decorated with a design representing the six great rivers of Germany. The windows of the salon are pro- tected by thick bars, and armed sen- tries stand at the doors of the apart- ment night and day, The last coach in the train is "used by an engineer, who has charge of the machinery which operates a complicated system of emergency brakes. The Kaiser's two dachshunds, Wardl and Hexi, have their kennels on the train, and they generally accompany their mas- ter on his travels. New Record in Tea Prices.

The bacil- lus attacks the mucous membrane, generally of the throat, and sets up a local' iiifiamnation. •During the course• of the inflammation 'a mem- branous deposit appears, in which the bacilli rapidly multiply, and produce a poison that sometimes remains local and sometimes is absorbed •into the system.
