Singing Good lor the Lungs
It is asserted that singing is a cor
rective of the too common tendency to
pulmonic complaints An eminent phy

Germans are seldom afflicted with con
sumption and this I believe is in part
occasioned b3 the strength which theii
lungs acquire by exercising them in vo

The Old Time Kitchen
The ol hearth in the kitchen where the
fires ruddy glow
Reflects a thousand fancies that your
boyhood used to know
The dreams of young ambition through a
filmy sort o haze
The plans and hopes in outline of the old
er after days
How as a boy 1 loved it from the chimney
deep and wide
To where the quaint old shovel hung sus
pended from the side
Oh the sorrows intermingled with the
boyish joys that thrill
Where the kettles always singing and the
crickets never still
The dreams of young ambition how they
vanished with the years
How foolish the conception to our wiser
growth appears
The roseate glimpse of glory in the happy
futures span
The youth had grown a dreamer and the
dreamer grown a man
And yet perhaps twas better that the
vision vanished quite
For circumstances govern and a fate di
rects us right
Yet theres much of inspiration for a
youthful brain to thrill
Where the kettles always singing and the
crickets never still
The mansion Ive acquired and in which
Ive settled down
They say for cozy comfort equals any in
the town
Ive realized a competence by energy and
thrift
Sufficient for myself and then to give
some friend a lift
And yet with all lifes portion that to
find
me is meted out
I myself each evening in a quandary
of doubt
If the old hearth in a kitchen to compare
would suffer ill
Where the kettles always singing and the
crickets never still
The Best Way of Planting Bulbs
After ordering your bulbs set about
getting a compost ready in which to pot
them As good a soil as any is one
composed of ordinary garden loam
sands and well rotted cow manure in
equal parts One third sand may seem
like too much of a good thing but it
iis not Nowhere in the world are bet
ter bulbs grown than in Holland whose
soil is nearly all sand Better bulbs can
be grown in clear sand properly fer
tilized than in the richest of soils
without sand Mix your compost well
and have it fine and mellow It is very
important that the manure should be
old Fresh manure is harmful to all
bulbous plants out or in doors I
should advise the growing of several
bulbs in the same pot The effect is
more pleasing because of the greater
mass of color in a limited space Three
or four Hyacinths Tulips or Daffodils
may be grown successfully in a seven
inch pot Half a dozen Crocuses or
Snowdrops will be required to fill a six
inch pot Three or four average size
bulbs of the Bermuda Lily can be
grown in a ten inch pot Ladies Home

Add a cup of good cider vinegar to
the water in which you boil fish
iilly salt water fish
Boston baked beans can be greatly
improved by adding a cup of sweet
cream the last hour of baking
Put a few sticks of cinnamon bark
and a little lemon juice with crab apple
when making jelly the flavor is good
Three tablespoons of freshly made
Japan tea with a bit of nutmeg gives
an indescribable flavor to an apple pie
When making tomato soup add a raw
cucumber sliced fine boil soft and
strain with tomato It gives a season

Soup stock is better seasoned by
sticking whole cloves and other spices
Into the meat while boiling instead of
using powdered spices
Sliced onion fried in butter or in but
ter and flour and rubbed through a
sieve and put into soups just before
serving gives it a fine flavor and good
color

KIDNEY DISEASE AND RilMATISHI
RESULTING FROM ARMY EX
POSURE
iHstory of Horace Robertson of John
son County Iowa t
From the Tims West Branclu Jo tea
Horace Robertson is a prosperous farm
er of West Branch lohnson County
Iowa He is a Veteran of the late war
having served for three years and twenty
one days in the Tenth Iowa Infantry
Since the war he has further don his
duty as a good citizn by serving several
terms as township clerk trustee and su
pervisor
Mr Robertson suffered excruciating
pain for years suffered ns only a confirm
d rheumatic can suffer At his work it
was an unwelcome ever present compan
ion while his nights were rendered most
miserable by the racking pains of this
this disease He told a reporter who was
interested in his case and who is
with him in the noble order of the
Grand Army of the Republic that he has
been confined to his bed for days at a titne
and that the pain in his back and legs
was almost unendurable and made him at
times almost helpless He has been treat
ed from time to time by different physi
cians and has taken sever 1 kinds of pat
ent medicines all of which afforded him
out little if any relief Mr Po ertson was
also afflicted with disease of the kidneys
from which he could find no permanent
relief He could not retain bis urine
which was highly colored and was com
pelled to get up several times during each
night He has also at times been wholly
unable to control the movement of his
legs thev having lost their natural pow
ers In fine Mr Robertson was a sorely
afflicted man both from rheumatism and
disease of the kidneys
He tells the reporter that many month
ago he was induceu to try Pink Pills for
Tale People put up at Schenectady N
Y by the Dr Williams Medicine Com
pany Had only taken th -e pills a short
time when he began to experience relief
from both rheumatism and kidne trou
ble After taking them regularly for sev
eral months he found most happily fbnt
the racking pain was gone f om hi back
as also the incessant ache from bis legs
The kidney trouble also showed great
improvement so much o that f r a long
while he has been able to comfortably re
tain his urine Ijy getting up only once
during the night fie is now not entirely
free from kidney trouble his urine being
scant and somewhat colored He thinks
however that this may be attributable
to the fact that he has not taken any
Pink Pills for some time and also that
he has been working very hard of late
Mr Robertson told the reporter that he
believes himself cured of rheumatism and
thinks it probable that a further and per
sistent use of Pink Pills may complete the
cure of his kidneys already so happily
improved He is now able to do a good
days work for a man verging on 60 years
has a fair appetite and sleeps quite well
Mr Robertson has now the best health
he has had for years and he says that
Pink Pills have accomplished this happy
result and to them he gives his grateful
praise and also recommends these valu
able pills to all who are similarly afflicted
Should any one doubt the truthfulness
of the above statement and Mr Robert
sons character as a truthful man the re
porter suggests that such persons write
to Mr A C Hunter postmaster at West
Branch Iowa for corroboration
Dr Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves They are for sale by
all druggists or may be had by mail from

FIGHT WITH A BEAR
A Colorado Miners Terrific Strusrsrle
with a Maddened Brute
A prospector named Anderson who
Is working a claim near the Tarn
OShanter group of miaes in Ashcroft
Colo fought a terrific battle with a
large black bear the other day An
derson with the assistance of his dog
proved victor in the desperate encoun
ter but he will carry marks of the en
gagement to his grave
Anderson started out early in the af
ternoon with a dog and Winchester rifle
to hunt bear tracks having been re
ported within a few miles of the mines
He and the dog picked up the tracks
and trailed them for about three miles
when they became fresher and the dog
bayed the fact that he had the scent
The snow was quite deep and Ander
son plunged through taking little or no
precaution to see where he was going
He was suddenly arrested by a howl
of pain from the dog and looked up
only to be confronted by an enormous
bear that had swatted the canine one1
and sent it howling toward its master
Tne bear squatted on its haunches
waiting for Anderson to open the fight
The man recovered from his aston
ishment quickly and raising his rifle
fired at random and started to retreat
In doing so his foot caught in some
brush and he fell Bruin hit and mad
dened at the pain was over the pros
trate man in an Instant and then came
a struggle Man and
bear rolled over and over The dog
proved a valuable ally to Anderson and
worried Bruin considerably by biting
his hind legs So aggravating did the
dog become that the bear turned its at
tention from the man to its tormentor
It was a fatal movement for the bear
as it gave Anderson an opportunity to
get out a hunting knife he carried and
when Bruin turned again the man
closed in with the animal and buried
the knife in its breast Bruin fell over
dead and Anderson dropped exhausted
The mans clothing was literally torn
from him and hung in shreds His
face head body hands arms and leg
were terribly lacerated and it will b
several weeks before he will be ablc
to hunt bears again The bear weighed
I
250 pounds
Historic Copper Mines of Sinai
Recent examination of the coppei
mines of Mount Sinai reveals that th
ore is poor and difficult to work which
accounts for the fact that they were
abandoned 2000 years ago though iD
the days when copper was the only
available substitute for wood and stone
these mines were the cause of frequent
wars An interesting point brought to
light is that the ancients practiced pre
cisely the methods of extraction used
at the present day namely reduction
with charcoal combined with silicious
and calcareous fluxes
An image impressed upon the retina
of the eye remains there an appreciable
time This is the reason why a torch
swung rapidly seems to be a circular
flame
Tit for Tat
Angered at the attendance of the
young women school teachers of the
place at the meetings of a dancing
club the School Board of Osage City
Kan passed a resolution forbidding
further indulgence in such gayety on
the ground that the Influence upon the
pupils would not be good The town
arose and asserted itself The Knights
of Pythias stood up for the teachers
and a business mens meetingcwas held
at which a resolution was passed that
the members of the School Board be in
structed to refrain from the use of to
bacco as good results to the pupils
could not be accomplished while such a
practice was Indulged in
