"Renewal" Work Being Pressed. Early in tbo spring thousands of miles of new rail wero strum; on al most every road In tbo country to take care of the usual "renewal" work It was expected that as noon as the frost was out of the ground the work of laylug this vast tonnage of steel rails would begin. Orders were is sued by nearly every road in the coun try, however, to permit the rails to lie by the side of tho trarks until further orders. The result is that the railroads are several months behind In their renewal and betterment work. Watering Down Drinks. The American cocktail Is an abonv luably unscientific drink, for the plain and principal reason that tho alcohol In It goes to the stomach in too con centrated a form. Strongest sherry, 23 per cent alcohol, is about as far as the boldest stomach should ever venture In the way of strong stuff. Tlrandy and whisky should be grogged, that Is, watered down until it is about a sherry strength, even much weaker. Whisky is about 50 per cent alcohol and should have at least three or four times Its quantity of water mixed with it. New York Sun With a smooth iron and Defiance fltarch, you can launder your shirt waist Just sa well at home as ths steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear end tear of the goods, and It will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to th Iron. Railroad Service In Holland. Of the railroads in Holland E. V. Lucas writes: "Tho trains come in to the minute and go out to the min ute. The officials are Intelligent and polite. The carriages are good. Every station has its waiting room, where you may sit and read and drink a cup of coffee that Is not only hot and fresh, but Is recognizably the product of tho berry. It Is impossible to travel in the wrong train." Sheer white goods, in iuct, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to tho way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beau ty. Home laundering would be equal ly satisfactory If proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at tho Improved appearance of your work. Controlling Flower Colors. Dy the use of chemicals, such ns po tasslum hydrate, potassium carbonate, potassium sulphate, alumlnus mil pbate, calcium hydrate and lend acetate, Prof. Henry Kraemer of Philadelphia has produced a red color in the petals of the white Kalserin rose, and has caused hydrangeas nat urally red-flowering, to produce blue blossoms, says Youth's Companion. The chemicals are fed to the plants In the form of solutions, or added to the soil in the solid form, solution then taking place gradually In the earth. The manner in which tha chemicals act on the plants is not yet fully understood. YourEyes Should ba Flttidby aspecialst Don't trust your eyes to pedlars and traveling grafters.

VIRGINIA A question arose as to what would be the special luxury in which each person present would Indulge had she unlimited means. The unswers were various, some baying travel, others en tertaining, others numerous pictures. books and brie a brae. One woman who had said little during the con troversy was at last addressed, and replied by saying that bIio hud not spoken before, ns she knew none of those present would awee with her. Tor," she said, iliishltiK shyly, "my desire would be for a large family of children whom 1 could have finely ed ucated and to whom 1 could give all the advantages I would want my boys and Kills to huve." Her remark was greeted with a murmur of surprise and dissent. "Do you really mean that?" asked one woman, incredulously. "Indeed I do," was the calm reply. "To my way of thinking there is no greater happiness than for u woman to be surrounded by a number of chil dren, with the means to do them jus tice." Ah, there's the rub. Surely 'tis a pity that the dollar mark must shine through everything as It does, an ugly birth scar on the face of na ture. In many cases, however, it is not the thought of the present expense of children, or the thought of what they will cost during the first few- years of their life, that entires people to wish to have smnll families. It Is rather fho dread lest, when tho young people are old enough to enter college, there will not be the finances necessary to tho completion of their education. It would bo well for those who nrgue thus to remember that in this country of ours few people have, during the first years of marriage, the money that Is theirs 20 years later. I would not have anyone imagine that I advocate the bringing Into the world of more little ones than one can, at the time, feed and clothe. Hut I do hold that, when parents are abundantly able to provide for their children during childhood, they make a mistake, in insisting that at birth there must bo on hand the money with which to send their new-born baby through college and set him up in the business or profession he may choose. Let us look the matter plainly in ONE LOAF BY G. F. WRIGHT, fTntil recently the vegetable product which supported the largest amount of human life was rice, but now it Is probable that more people depend upon wheat for their main staple of nutriment than upon any other single grain. The wheat crop of the world for 1902, the largest then recorded, was 3,124,422,000 bushels, of which 780,063,000 were produced In the Unit ed States. We may therefore presume that the loaf of bread which lies upon the table of the average reader Is a loaf of wheat bread, and so we will consider it. Wheat is no new discovery. It Is found In the early tombs of Kgypt nnd among the remains of the lake dwel lers in Switzerland, where the charred kernels had lain buried for several thousand years before the Christian era. From the fact that the word for wheat Is common to most of the Aryan languages, it is rightly inferred that it was cultivated In central Asia In prehistoric times, and was distrib uted throughout the eastern conti nent with the emigration which early radiated from the home of the Aryau races In western Turkestan. Hut It did not reach America until after the discovery by Columbus. The varietin's of wheat are very nu aieroiiH, thus adapting It to a wider range of conditions than any other cereal. It ripens equally well In Si beria and Alaska and India and South America. Some varieties arc sown In autumn and others In the spring, but If winter wheat is sown in the spring or spring wheat sown in au tumn, while very few plants will come to maturity, a few will do so. There fore, by snving theso few heads that ripen one can transform at his pleas ure a winter wheat into a spring wheat, and vice versa. Great results have likewise been produced by cross ing varieties with each other in which case there Is often a groat im provement In both the quality and the quantity of the product. The great value of wheat as a food wnslsts In its possession of a large amount of albuminoid matter, which forms the most important element In the blood, and enters Into the produc tion of the muscles and ligaments of iiulmal bodies. In this respect It is greatly superior to rice, which almost entirely consists of storch. which supplier) heat to the body, but fur nishes nn insufficient amount of nour ishment for the muscular nnd the ner vous system. In wheat nenrly 13 per cent, of the weight consists of albu minoid mntter, though there is a vari ation of three tir four per cent. In the different varieties. Under high cultivation wheat has been known to yield M bushels per VAN DE WATER the faeo and announce that parent' have no more right to indulge in numbers of children crowding Into the nursery more money than the par ents have, making tho payment of just debts Impossible, and Bapping the courage of tho father, and the strength of tho mother than they have to purchase houses and lands for which they cannot pay. Hut. when parents can buy luxuries that are not necessities, and can ludulge their personal wlilnis and wishes, surely children have a right to be. To bear und rear children Is one of the chief alms of woman's existence, and until sho lias borne a child sho has not lived up to the purpose of her being, and hers Is not a full, round life. And the Ameiicr.n husband, noted over the world for his consideration for his wife's w ishes, declares thnt sho shall have her own way iu this mat ter. Viewed from a practical standpoint, few other Investments pay as do ebll dren. It Is also true that four children are little more actual trouble than are two, and that the additional trouble, is compensated for in the pleasure they bring by their coinpnnionship In tholr childhood, and their protection as well as companionship In the years to come when tho parents begin to feel that they need strong young arms about them. If you wou'.d know what a childless home means imagine the Christmas seuson without tie littlo ones. And look for Just one sad mo ment at the hjme from which un only child has been taken, nnd then ask if ono child is more a blessing than many. That one gone, what Is left but years In which the arms must bo empty and tho hearts must ache? Yes, there is something worse in finitely worse to those who know what is really worth while, than family of many llttlo ones and that Is a family without any children. It is not less pitiable because tho parents are Ignorant of what they miss. When old age and loneliness approach, they will know. If God has denied them offspring, may ho comfort them; if they blindly deny themselves God's greatest blessings may he still pity them, for they know not what they do! (Copyright, ly Joapph B. Bnwlos.) OF BREAD LL.D., F. G. 8. A. acre, each bushel weighing 60 pounds, while the average yield may easily be made 40 bushels to the acre. The low average of the yield so general in the I nlted States Is due to Imperfect cul tivation and to an unskilful-use fertilizers. The power of increase a grain of wheat is astonishing, since a large number of other stalks BDrln out from the single shoot that first conies out of the ground. There is no doubt that wheat bread with good butter on It more fullv sun plies the wants of tho human system than any other single article of food does. Tho need of butter or some other fat is occasioned bv the In of that element so necessary to the human system in most of the cereals, though corn and oats contain it to considerable extent. A good five-cent loaf or bread contains as much nutri ment as would be found In any of the various breakfast foods now so popu lar, costing three times as much. In tho wheat loaf Itself wo have the choice between that made from gra ham flour, in which the whole wheat kernel, bran and all, Is ground togeth er; that from whole or mtWo wheat flour, from which a considerable ior tion of tho bran has been removed nnd the flour ground a little finer, and the standard patent flour. In which the bran is all left out, and the germ of the wheat Is removed so as to pre vent the flour from becoming rancid. Here Is a good recipe for white bread: Sift together 5 cups flour, one tablespoon sugar, one teaspoon salt Two cups milk scalded and cooled Add one-balf cup yeast to the milk Stir the liquid, temperature 73 de grees, into the dry with n knife. Knead until there are air bubbles Ht the edge of the dough. Cover In a tem perature or 75 degrees and let stand 3 Mi hours. It should be twice as largo as at first. Pass a knife around the dish and cut. down to get out the air bubbles. Shape and allow to rise again to twice the size. Biscuit should be baked Id an oven that will brown a spoonful of flour la two minutes, bread In five minutes. Biscuit baks in 15 to 20 minutes. Bread bakes In 35 to 40 minutes.

Afraid of Ghosts Many people arc afraid of ghosts. Few people are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost it a fancy and the germ is fact. If the germ could be magnified (0 aize equal to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Germs can't be avoided. They are in tho sir we breathe, the water we drink. The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish it self and develop. When there is deficiency of vital force, languor, restlessness, a sallow cheek, hollow eye, when the appetite is poor and the sleep is broken, it is time to guard sgainst the germ. You can fortify the body against all germa by the use of Dr. Pierce's Cold en Medical Discovery. It increases the vital power, cleanses the system of dogging impurities, enriches the blood, puts the stom oh and organs of digestion arid nutrition in working condition, so that the germ finds no wesk or tainted spot in which to breed.
