The fortune teller, who is one of a

and Mrs. Harold E. Tnft, Walthill,
Neb., a son.... The Nebraska liquor
law, which provides for the seizure
and sale of automobiles used by boo?o
runners to Import liquor into the
Htntc, will bo put to the test in u
few weeks when n hearing on a test
case instituted in the Nebraska courl
by Justice Henry Brouillette, a Sioux
City attorney, is held. Tho case has
been set for trial August 4. The au
tomobilo involved in the caso was
used by James Davis, an alleged boot
legger, and was seized by Sheriff Geo.
Cain, of Dakota county, sovernl weeks
ngo when Davis wns caught with a
load of whisky which ho is alleged to
have imported from Minnesota. Judge
S. W. McKinley, of the county, court,
ordered the sheriff to sell the car at
a public sale and to turn tho pro
ceeds over to the state. All would
have gone well had it not happened
that the Wyckoff Auto and Salvngo
company had foreclosed a mortgago
on tho automobile tho day before it
was seized. Upon hearing of the
sale they sent Mr. Brouillette to Lin
coln to stay proceedings on tho sale.
He returned yesterday with an in
junction order from the higher court
restraining the sheriff from selling,
the machine nendinir n henrlnc in fhi
l higher court. It is alleged that the
state has no right to order tho car
sold, and that the law receu.ly passed
by tho stato assembly is unconstitu
tional in that it attempts to deprive
citizens of their property without
duo process of low.

Using too old vegetables.

DRYING VEGETABLES.
By Mrs. Lucy M. Sprague.
(From Farm Burenu News)
Our grandmothers did u great deal
of drying, but when canning became
popular, about tho timo ofsthe Civil
war, the old methods fell into .disuse
to n great extent. When so many
million are underfed in almost all
parts of the world, it seems as though
the least we can do is to savo all we
grow, nnd buy as little as possible of
food that must be shipped to us.
Practically all vegetables may bo
satisfactorily dried, from asparagus
in tho spring to pumpkin In tho win
tor. A very simple and convenient
home mndo dricrcan bo seen in tho
County Agent's office. Circulaia
giving conrplete'otUrcctions for drv-
ing and storing, and also a, few rq-
. clues for cookinglkcnn bo had for tho
asking. The-(advantages of drying
nro many. It requires1 less time,.
. labor, fuel and storage space than

for complete cooking. The flavor is
- nlmost unchanged. In some cases
they have been served to people who
were sure they would not like dried
foous, nna who were amazed to learn
that tho food they had just praised
had been dried. Many of the finest
hotels in America make no secrot of
the fact that they use dried vegetn
bles.
The greens which nro making such
.wonderful growth this season, will bo
doubly enjoyable next winter. They
are very easily dried and take up n
very small space if dried. Rhubarb
is also of a lino quality this year. If
it is dried now, it may bo kept in
definitely. An excellent jelly hns
been made from rhubarb which had
been dried two years. The juice
from tho dried product is a delicious
addition to mincemeat, and gives an
inexpensive nnd delightful basis for
fruit punches. Some fruits, as the
mulberry, nro lacking in flavor. Tho
addition of tho juico of tho rhubarb
gives exactly tho flavor that is need
ed, nnd makes u moro attractive dish
than is obtained by adding tho pulp
also.
It is not at all likely that drying
will take tho placo of canning to tho
extent of driving it out altogether,'
or oven to nny great extent. But It
hns so many advantages that appeal
to tho busy housewife,, that there is
no question but what tho well equip
ped pantry of tho near future will
have a generous supply of dried veg
etables, to vi.iy the menu nnd safe
guard the Imlth of tho family.

tho protection of the man raising
hogs for market, as Well as tho man
engaged in raising puro blooded hogs
for breeding. Up till this timo wo
hnvo never heard of such n thing as
insurnnco on hogs ngainst death from
nny cnuse, but such a thing is now
possible.
it is no longer nocessnry ior tho
new beginner or tho man renting n
farm to stay out of tho hog raising
and feeding of hogs becauso ho can
not nfford to tako tho chance on feed
ing his high priced corn, and then,
porhaps, loso tho hogs by somo dis
ease before he gota them on the mar
ket.
A policy on thoso hogs with tho
American Live Stock Insurance Com
pany absolutely insures against any
possible loss. And then, too, the
charge per head on n six months pol
icy is so moderate that tha price of
ono bushel of corn on tho present
market will moro than nay for it.
"Just think of it, ono extra bushel
of corn." Tho satisfaction of know
ing that you nro insured Against a
loss should alono bo worth tho price.
Hog insurance is more essential
than any other form of insutamee, be

Tho American Live Stock Inauraftce
Company will carry tho risk 6r .'you
at a nominal cost-and it givtts abso
