HOT WEATHER
Hits the Stomach Hardest
Chicago, m. Hot weather upsets
tho strongest stomnch nnd causes serl
'ous trouble for the weak ones, so word
is now going out to thousands of
eatonlc users thnt they should, dur
ing this hot weather, be on the safe
side and take one eatonlc tablet
about half an hour before meals, as
well as after eating. Do this nnd
keep the excess nclds nnd poisonous
gases from forming In stomnch and
bowels. Eatonlc acts quickly; It will
help the appetite nnd take away tho
hot-weather, feverish, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, because It
takes up the excess nclds, poisons and
cases and' carries them out of the
body nnd, of course, when the cause
of tho trouble Is removed, there can
bo no bad feeling. Eatonlc Is like
n bit of candy, and Is recommended to
nil ns n snfe, sure remedy these hot
days for stomach and bodllyetroubles,
caused from overeating and drinking
cold things. Adv.

Its name Is relation to Emperor
Dnlgo, who reigned from 803 to KW.
Its name originated from we fac that
Its founder, Abbot Shoho, came to this
village and exclaimed after he drank
from an old fanner's spring: "Tho
water was as good as dalgol" It Is a
Buddhist word meaning an unctuous
rich liquor. The posthumous title of
the emperor must have originated
from bis devotion to tho temple nnd
Its founder, as well as from his burial
In the temple grounds.
Bare specimens of Buddhist nrt and
literature, carefully preserved as the
temple treasures of DalgoJI, and ex
hibited recently nt Toklo, through the
efforts of Dr. Katsum! Korolta of
the editorial staff of blstorlographleal
materials In Toklo imperial university,
bring the story of the temple down
to .'t(X) years ago. Among the pecu

horse training and n collection of fan
paintings said to be tire treasures. .
In the literary collection there Is
an Illustrated copy of the third roll
of "Scripture of Cause and Effect of
the I'ast and the Present." It wis
made nearly 1,200 years ago, but the
colors in the picture nre as fresh ns

Is considered the oldest thing extant

TREES. GIVE MILKLIKE JUICE
Tropica Provide Pretty Fair Substi

" In British Gulnnn and the West
Indies, particularly on the banks of
the Blver Demenira, there grows a
tree known to the natives as the hyn
hyn, which yields from Its bark ami
pith a Juice slightly richer and
thicker thnn cow's milk. The tree Is
about forty feet high and eighteen
Inches In circumference when full
grown, mid the nnyves use Its Juice
ns wo use milk. It being perfectly
harmless nnd mixing well with water.
The Cingalese have ii tree they
call It klrlaghumn which yields n
tin Id in all respects like milk; while
In. the forests of I'nra grows a tree
called the mnssenodendron, which
gives a mllkllke Juice. It can bo kept
for an indefinite time nnd shows no
tendency to become sour.
On the other hand, certain trees In
the valleys of Aragua and In Cnuagua
yield a similar fluid, which, when ex
posed to the nlr, begins to form Into
a kind of chese, which very soon
becomes sour.
In the Canary Islands there Is n
tree called tabaya dolce, of which the
milk, thickened Into u jelly, Is con
sidered n delicacy.
Unpleasant Dreams.
A London chemist, dreiimlng thnt
he had swallowed poison by mistake,
rose from the chair In which he had
fallen asleqp and, so vivid had the
dream been, he went to the shop and
took an antidote. But this, In the
absence of real poison, began to poi
son him, and before he realized the
inlstnke the error was beyond repair.
In another case a mnn, after a heat
ed argument vlth n visiting friend,
dreamed' thnt his guest was In his
room molesting lilm. He actually
"felt" rough hands on his body,
Jumped out of bed, and ran to bis
friend's room. There he attacked his

Ostrich Plumes.
Ostrich plumes are not actually
plucked, by the wny. They are cut
pruned with no damage or pain to the
bird. When the feathers nre "ripe"
the ostriches nre driven Into a V
shaped enclosure. Their heads are
covered with a hood like a stocking,
which renders them trnt'table. The
wings nre spread by the man doing
the "plucking" nnd tho feathers are
clipped off fairly close to the llesh.
This does not hurt tho bird In the
least and within sixty days the dead
quill ends drop out of their own ac
cord. The tall feathers are also
clipped.

CONSERVE WINDFALL APPLES
Culls and Imperfect Fruit Can Ba
Canned for Home Consumption
During Entire Year.
Apples that fall off the tree or are
Imperfect may not keep well nor llnd
a ready sale, but they can be used
satisfactorily to make apple products.
These products uiv available for homo
consumption throughout the entire
yo.ir. which Is an advantage worthy
of the consideration of apple growers.
The following recipes recommended
by the United .Slnles department of
agriculture will utilise the windfalls
and culls. Do not can any decayed
part nor allow apples to become over
ripe before canning.
Wash the apples, which, must be
reasonably linn. Ucnlove core nnd
blemishes (pare. If desirable when for
Immediate use). Place whole apples
In blanching tray or blanching cloth
and blanch In boiling wnter' for two
minutes, Bemove nnd plunge quickly
Into cold water. Pack In large, empty
glass Jars or gallon tin cans. Pour over
the product n hot, thin sirup of about
IS di grees density. This Is made In the
proportion of 24 pounds of sugar to
OU quarts of water. i'lnce rubber
and top In position. Seal partially,
not tight. If using tin cans, cap and
tip completely. Process half-gallon or
gallon containers 120 minutes In boil
ing water In homemade or hot-water
bath outfit; 15 minutes In water-seal;
10 minutes In steam-pressure outfit,
with 5 pounds of steam pressure. Re
move Jars, tighten covers, Invert to
cool, nnd test Joints. Wrap In paper
and store. The time of heating will
have to be varied according to ripe
ness and condition of the fruit. Use
Just enough time to sterilize perfectly,
nnd yet not enough to change the col
or or reduce the pulp to sauce.
Firm and tart apples may be cored
and peeled first, then canned by the
above recipe. Apples canned whole
may be used for tho following pur
poses :
A brenkfnst dish, with cream and
stignr added; baked, like fresh apples;
apple salad; a relish with roast pork
the apples may be fried In the pork
fat; apple dumplings, deep apple pie,

and other desserts In which whole
apples are desirable. The sirup of
conned whole apples can be used for
pudding sauces or fruit drinks.
SIZING HOPPER FOR FRUITS
Saves Much Hand Labor and increases
Value of Product Plan for
Building One.
A simple sizing hopper for small
fruits and berries saves a world of
bund labor and raises the market
value of the fruit. A frame, built like
nn ordinary screen with bnck and
sides of eight-Inch board, should be
I three feet wide nt the large end and
taper to 18 Inches. .Make the slatted
bottom of any sultnble material. The
width of the slatR apart depends upon
the size of the product to be sorted.
The Joggle cam must be of hardwood.
As the crank Is turned the slatted sec
tion vibrates up and down separating
the fruit Into largo and small sizes
which run Into different bnrrels.
GOOD COLD STORAGE HOUSES
Should Be So Constructed as to Main
tain Practically Uniform Tem
perature for Apples.
Cold storage houses should be so
constructed and equipped as to main
tain a practically uniform tempera
ture of from HI degrees to 32 degrees
F. for the successful storage of apples.
Thero should be sufficient spaces to
permit a free-air circulation and to
render en eh lot readily accessible to
Inspection and withdrawal. Contain
ers should be clean and strongly built.
