Nature's Own Wrapping Keeps
Tobacco Best
No artificial package—tin, bag, or tin-foil and paper
—can keep tobacco as well as the natural leaf wrapper
that holds all the original flavor and moisture in the
Sickle plug. When you whittle off a pipeful, you always
get fresh tobacco, that burns slowly, and smokes cool
and sweet
Chopped-up, "package" tobacco loses much of its moisture
before it toes into the package, and keeps getting drier all the time.
And the drier it gets, the faster it burns in your pipe, and the
more it bites your tongue. Only fresh tobacco gives real pipe
satisfaction—and only tobacco you cut off the Sickle plug as you
use it, can be fresh.
Economical, too—no waste—no package to pay for—more
tobacco. Get a Sickle plug from your dealer today.

The Staff of LH· with Variation*.
To a lug· part of mankind bread Is
still the staff of life, and If tbej pray for
their dally bread tbey mean It literally.
In regard to IU ingredient·, breed Is
one of the simplest of onr oooked foods,
bat in regard to the change· whlob the
raw materials must undergo to prodnoe
a finished loaf it Is one of the moet com
plicated. The essential ingredients In
bread-making are flonr, liquid, salt, and
yeast; the proportions may be Ttried ac
cording to conditions. Shortening and
sugar are commonly used, but if tbey
were omitted it would be possible to
have palatable, nutritious breed.
The best bread flour is made from
spring wheat and pastry flonr from win·
ter wheat. The spring wheat flour con
tains more gluten and less starch, so that
less of the bread flour is required to
produce a dough of a given consistency.
It is the gluten in a flour which gives
tbe power of stretching and rislog as tbe
gas from the yeast expands within it,
and hence of making a light loaf.
Tbe raising of bread Is usually brought
about by letting yeast develop in it.
These minute plants feed upon sugar In
tbe dough and In their growth give off
alcohol and carbon dioxide gas, which
latter, expanding with the heat, forces
its way through the dough and thus
lightens it. In order to give the yeast a
better chance to work, the dough is
usually set to rise for some houre before
it Is put into tbe oven.
Tbe lightness and sweetness of bread
depends as much on the way in which ii
is made as on tbe material used. Tbe
greatest care should be used in prepar
ing and baking the dough and in cook
ing and keeping tbe finished bread.
HOUSEHOLD BBEAD.
Sift fivecupfuls of flour into a wa:m
bowl, add two teaspoonfuls of salt and
two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Mix one
yeast cake with a teaspoonful of sugar in
a small basin, add one cupful of tepid
water, tben place in a warm place to
rise for a few minutes. If the yeast
does not rise it is unfit for use. Pour it
into tiie centre of tbe Hour, stir Into it a
little of the flour, tben gradually add
three cupfuls of warm water about 100
degrees F.; if too hot it will kill tbe
yeast, which is a living vegetable sub
stance, and wbioh must multiply in tbe
bread.
Mix well with a knife, cover with a
clean cloth, place in a moderately warm
place, about 75 degrees F., out of draft*.
Leave till tbe batter is covered with
bubbles. Work in five cupfuls of flour,
cutting and beating it with a knife, turn
it out on to a floured baking board,
knead it rapidly and firmly for fifteen
minutée, adding three tablespoonfuls of
lard during tbe kneading. Butter the
bowl, lay the dough in it, brush it ovei
with melted butter, cover onoe more and
allow to rise in a warm place until It ba«
expanded to twice its original size.
Turn out on to the baking board,
knead for five minutes, tben cut the
dough into two pieces. Make into neat
loaves, place tbem in slightly warmed
pans, allow to rise once more and fill the
tins. Brush over with milk. Bske in ι
hot oven till ready. To tell if tbe bread
is cooked through, knock it sharplj
underneath with your knuokles; if H
gives out a hollow sound it is done,
When baked, lay tbe loaf on its side tc
let tbe steam escape.

Orowlag the Arbutus,
Best loved of «11 spring flower· li the
trailing arbutus, or "Mayflower"—ear
liest harbinger of the vernal aeaaon,
wboM dainty pinkish bloaaoma Ρ«·Ρ
forth courageously beneath the very
anow. It la, alaa, becoming aoaroe In
the neighborhood of oar eeatern oltlea,
where formerly U waa plentiful.
But, moat fortunately, a meana baa
been newly discovered whereby the
plant, hitherto deemed Impoaalble to
cultivate, oan be grown In pots. In fact,
Frederick V. Coville, the Government
botanist-in-chief, baa. auoceeded in
domesticating it; and, with the help of a
few auggeatlona here given, anybody
may auoceed In producing aroutua more
beautiful tban the beat to be found out
of doora.
It Is a very simple matter. To tame
the wild arbutna you have only to give It
the particular kind of soil it requires.
This is not like ordinary soil at all—
which la exactly the reason why efforts
to domesticate the plant have hitherto
resulted in failure. What you muat do
la to get a lot of balf-rotted leave·, mix
the latter with one-tbird tbelr bulk of
old flower pota amaahed to rather tiny
bila and add 10 per cent of ordinary aand.
Sounds rather absurd, doesn't it? But
this (as will be presently made dear) is
an entirely new kind of horticulture, ap
plicable not only to the arbutus, but also
to wild pansiea, azaleas and a number of
other kinds of planta. The sand ia to
make the mixture more porous and the
broken bits of flower pota are an Im
portant help to drainage.
ABBCTUS NEEDS ACID.
The main point, however, ii that ar
butus will thrive only in a very acid soil,
and what thia signifies will be under
stood when it ia explained that freah oak
leavea are juat about one-tbird aa acid aa
lemon juice. The leaves one abould use
for the purpose, however, as already
atated, are half rotted—far enough de
cayed, that la to aay, to abow scraps of
leaf atuff, and not ao far gone in de
composition aa to be merely so much
black, loamy material.
Attempta to tranaplaut wild arbutua
planta to gardena have rarely, if ever,
been successful. To grow them from
aeeda baa proved a hopeless impossibility
apparently. Nevertheless, two yeara
ago, Mr. Coville got aome arbutus aeeda
from New Hampshire, planted them in
pota of the curioua mixture already de
scribed, and bad the satisfaction of see
ing them promptly germinate. In the
following lummer the planta Ailed five
inch pota to the point of crowding. They
were left outaide during the winter,
were brought into a cool greenhouae in
Maroh and a few daya later were In full
flower. ,
Not only that, but the exquisite pink
ish blossoms were of unusual size, the
largest being seven-eighths of an loch In
diameter. They bad all the fragrance
of the wild arbutua flowers, and the
foliage waa remarkably free from injury
by inaecta or fungus dlieaae. At the
present time, Mr. Cuville la watching the
development In pota of a large number
of arbutus plants, which (as even the
writer, inexpert in such matters, was
able to see) exhibit every symptom of
health and vigor.
BLOSSOMING OF MAYFLOWEB.
Some of the arbutus plants, which
were kept in the greenhouse all winter,
flowered sparingly, but afforded an
interesting opportunity for the atudy of
their fruit. Tou see, the arbutus bas a
fruit, which is berry-like and good to
eat. While atill green, it splits into five
valvea, which spread backward into a
five-pointed rosette, exposing the white,
, fleshy and succulent Interior, with
minute brown seeda scattered over the
surffco. The fleshy (edible) part, which
' looks like an unripe strawberry, Is about
one-fourth of an inch in diameter.
It is believed by botaoists that the
1 arbutue waa originally a subarctic plant.
1 Moat of us have read how plants in
Alaska and other aubarctic regions
hasten into bloom when the belated
spring arrives (the very perpetuation of
their existence depending upon the pro
ι duction of ripe seeds in the briefest
' possible time,) in order that they may
take advantage of the short summer oi
I those latitudes. The early blossoming
habit of the Mayflower seems to bark
! back to a period when—not more, per
haps, than 10,000 years ago—glaciers
were apread over all the eastern part oi
what is now the United Slates, as fat
south as Philadelphia and St. Louis.—

III., says: "Baokaohe and congested
kidneys made me suffer Intense pains.
Waa always tired and floating speck*
bothered me. Took Foley Kidney Pills
and saw big improvement after third
day. I kepi on until entirely freed of
all trouble and suffering. That's why I
recommend Foley Kidney Pills. They
cured roe." A. K. Shurtleff Co., South
Paris; S. E. Newell <k Co., Paris.
Father—'That young man of your· baa
more braina than I gave blm credit for.
Daughter—Ob, papa, you don't really
mean It?
Father—Yes; instead of coming to see
me be called me up on the telephone.
HEED THE COUGH THAT HANGS
ON.
The seeds of consumption may be the
cause, and a cough that bangs on weak
ens the system. Foley's Honey and Tar
Compound checks the cougb, heals the
luflamed membranes and atrengtbena the
lungs. E. D. Rountree, Stilimore, Ga.,
says: "La grippe left me adeepaeated,
hacking, nalofnl cough whioh Foley's
Honey and Tar completely enred." A.
E. Shurtleff Co., South Paris; S. E.
Newell Λ Co., Paris.
Clara—My only hope Is that she and
I will never meet again, either here or
hereafter.
Mand—Wouldn't you associate with
her if you met ber iu beavenP
Clara (paaalonately)—Never. I'd die
first.
Rheumatism as a result of kldnsj
trouble, stiff and aohing joints, baokacbe
and sore kidney· will all yield to the us·
of Foley Kidney Pills. They are tonic
in action, qoick In result·, curative al·
waya. W. S. Skelton, Stanley, Ind.,
says: "I would not take 1100 for the re
lief from kidney trouble I reoeived from *
one single box of Foley Kidney Pill·." |

The New and Smaller Paper Currency.
It is expected that within a month or two the people of the United States
will witness a great revolution in the size and appearance of their paper money.
Each one of the two billion notes of that kind now in circulation will be sup.
plemented by uniform pieces of currency about a quarter size smaller than
now used.
The change in size is not the only one. Any note with Washington's portrait on it will he
one dollar, Jeffenon's, two dollars, Lincoln's, five dollars, Grover Cleveland's, ten dollars,
Alexander Hamilton's, twenty dollars, and so on. This plan will render the raising o! bills by
crooks practically impossible, and we will have the safest and simplest system of Natioual
Currency in the world.
However, the new money will be just as elusive—just as hard to get and keep—as the
old currency, and your need for the services of a good Bank in caring for it, whether for deposit
or investment, will be just as great. This strong National Bank stands ready to serve you in this
connection.

Nineteen-twentiethi of the sickness of
children have two causes: constipation
and worms!
Th· danger of constipation it under
stood, but there are 50 different kinds of
worm· that may exist in the stomach and
boweli, and children are especially apt to
have them. Usually stomachand pin worms.
Signs of worms are: Indigestion, with
a variable appetite; abnormal craving for
sweets; nausea and vomiting; swollen upper
lip: sour tongue; offensive breath; hard and
full belly with occasional gripings and
pains about the navel; face at one time
flushed, then pale and in Β few cases the
face takes on a dull leaden hue; eyes
heavy and dull, twitching eyelids; itching
of the nose; itching of the rectum; short,
dry cough; grinding of the teeth; little
red points sticking out on tongue; starting
during sleep; slow fever; pulse quickened
and irregular; body may be hot; and
often, in children, convulsions.
Rid the child of worms and yon will
have a healthy, happy child.
NOTE—Dr. True's own prescription,
sold under the name of Dr. True'· Elixir,
is th· best remedy in the world for worms.
It destroy s all worm life, expels worms from
the body and makes the child healthy again.
