A condition which makes high prices necessary gives the appearance oi prosperity ; and if high prices prevail on all sides there is not so much objection. But there is chance for being deceived by them, and this should make all careful in financial affairs. T State Liquor Question. ss they never have been before.

That Lemon juice will destroy the typhoid germs in water is announced authoritatively by the Chicago Heal tb Department after careful experiments extending ovecthree days. Oae tea spoonlul of the juice to half a glas of water is known to be a good combina tion, and repeated trials have invaria bly produced the same result. Every germ was killled. Further tests will be mae at once to ascertain how small an amonnt o! lemon juice will destroy the bacilli. Dr. Reynolds is also investigating the properties of manufactured citric acid. If the acid will take the place ' of the lemon a great saving will be accom plished, for it is inexpensive as com pared wiiivlemons. Tire-Faction of the lemon juice is to cause the bacilli to shrivel up and die. Their power to produce this poison which causes typhoid Is thus destroyed, and water which in its original state was highly dangerous to drink becom es as innocuous as if it bad baa a distil led. The investigations and announce ment of the Chicago health authorities are the . result ol an announcement made on Christmas day by Dr. Asa Ferguson, who announced that the lemon juice was a deadly foe to typhoid It has long been known that certain acids would kill the bacilli, but their effects alao was to kill human beings. The harmless acid in lemons was en tirely overlooked until Dr. Ferguson chanced to drop a little lemon juice in to a culture tube containing typhoid germs. To his amazement he discov ered that they died almost immediate ly, and he at one began further ex periments, which resulted in the an nouncement of the discovery. Eggs in Winter. Selected. At a New York State farmers' insti tute the reader oi an essay on poultry gave bis method ot feeding to get eggs in winter. Take one part of corn and two parts of oats and have them ground together quite fine. To 200 pounds ol this add 100 pounds of ground wheat or of bran and middlings. To ten quarts oi this mixture add one quart ol animal meal and moisten with skim milk if you have it. Feed this in the morning in V shaped troughs, giving as much as they ill eat in fifteen min utes, and gather up what is left at that time. At noon give green feed of cab bage, beets or turnips cut up. An hou later give light feed of small grains scattered in char! or straw. The night feed at 3 :30 p. m is equal parts oi wheat, oats and corn scattered in tbe straw, so that they will work until dark to find it. Keep oyster shells where they can pick them when they please. Have dust bath of road or coal ashes for them and provide plenty of fresh water. Use kerosine oil on the roosts and in eect powaer in the nests. With early batched pullets or young hens through their molt thisgives eggs all winter.

A question that has been asked over the many years and that will probably continue to be asked as long as the sons of Cain inhabit the eartb U, what pecu liar conditions of birth and environ ment tend most to create criminals? Th3 reply generally given is that vice begets vice, and that the child who is reared under evil influence or is born of criminal parents is most apt to lead a sinful , life. While wickeduess mnj have a certain amouat ot contagious effect it is impossible to lay all the crime upon the shoulder of undesira ble environment, as is proven ever. day by the leng newspaper accounts ol men who have the best blood and tbe best training conceivable and who are as guilty of horrible crimes as art those to whom the meaning of gentle man has never been known, men who have absolutely no one, no circum stances, outside of themselves to blame for this fault. On the other hand, many cf the (in est, strongest and most useful men u the world are those who have breathed the very atmosphere of siu from theii youth up, and have turned to righteci.-.' living from puie disgust of the drunk enness and dishonesty they hava seei about them. Heredity and enviroi meat are tremendous factors in a mar 't social elevation or degradation, but thf will of the man is mora potent thai either, and where there is a will therf is a way lor everything.
