penetrate the meat easily, then lift
meat out of the broth, place in a hot
skillet with a little butter and lard,
turn the meat so as to brown a little
on both sides, remove from the skillet
to a crock with a tight-Btting lid where
it will keep nice and moist for several
days. A beef heart cooked the same
way is splendid.
Waste In Lumbering Southern Appala
chian Forests.
The forests of the Southern Appala
chian Mountains have been cut so
eagerly for the valuable hardwoods
they contain that very little virgin tim
ber Is left and about 85 per cent of the
area Is second growth. I
The drain on these forests by many
Industries Is Immense. The lumberi
men are going over the land for thu
third time. First they took only the
prime oak and poplar saw timber.
Next they took the oaks that were
suited for barrel staves. Now they
are after whatever merchantable trees
are left, such as birch, chestnut and
gum.
Moreover, these forests have been,
and still are, logged very wastefully.
Nearly three-quarters of the timber
cut for ties Is wasted. Double ,or evoh
treble, the number of ties now cut'
could readily be secured from the
same area without Injury to the for
est. By simply taking all the suitable
trees, 125 ties could be cut from an
acre which now yields only i(), and
If all of the wood in the trees were
fully utilized, fully 170 adltlonal ties
per acre could be secured.
With mine timbers the story is the
same. Fully 40 per cent of the tim-
ber handled In procuring them Is en
tirely wasted.
Finally, fires are Injuring the pro
ductiveness, of the Appalachian forests
by running over the ground and kill
ing the young growth.

To Prevent Pneumonia.
The Commissioner of Health of the
City of Chicago has recommended that
open trailers be run on the street lines
of that city as a means of preventing
the spread of pneumonia and other
diseases, a fact which leads to the
reflection that if people would live
more in the open air and less in over
heated and ill-ventilated quarters,
pneumonia would be much less preva
lent than it is during the fall and
winter months.
To stop that pain in the back, that
stiffness of the joints and muscles,
take Plnules. They are guaranteed.
Don't suffer from rheumatism, back
ache, kidney trouble, when you get 30
days' treatment for $1.00. A single
dose at bed time proves their merit.

Hints to Housekeepers.
Raisin bread, which is made like or
dinary white bread, with the addition
of one-half cupful of raisins to a small
loaf, is appetizing for Sunday night
supper.
White summer shawls, made of soft
wool, may be cleaned by rubbing them
in several changes of magnesia and
flour, mixed.
To brown a meringue on a pudding
or pie, an ordinary are shovel heated
red bot and passed over the surface
until the desired color is obtained is
as good as a regular salamander. Care
is required not to allow it to scorch.
Vinegar will brighten copper.
Vinegar and brown paper will heal
a bruise or "black eye."
Vinegar and sugar will make a
good stove polish.
Blood Poisoning.
This may result from the most tri
vial wound. A very weak mixture of
carbolic acid and water, such as a
druggist or physician who deals in
drugs can furnish, should be kept on
hand to prevent danger. It should be
poured on a cloth and wrapped round
any such wound after first washing it
carefully. This mixture, which con
tains about 10 per cent of carbolic
