Lightning Kills Few. In 1906 lightning killed only 169 people in this whole country. One's chances of death by lightning are ess than two in a million. The chance of death frtom liver, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used, as Robert Madsen, of West Bur lington, Ia., proved. Four doctors gave him ap after eight months of suffering from virulent liver trouble and yeilow jaundice. He was then completely cared by Electric Bit ters. They're the best stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood purifier on earth. Only 50c at Penn Ss Holstein's W E Lynch ? Co., B Timmons. Steam Laundry Notice.

QRLNSTHAJ5.) Tko evaporator ti th? best for a Bomber ai reasons, but where one must dry' by th? sun there la yet a ssSMh bettor way than spreading out one the howse reef or a scaffold of board*. Less aid labor may be* saved bf baring wire bottom trays two feet wide and two or three feet long. These trays should be made reversible, which may be done by haring the aides of two pieces of incb and-a-half timbar nailed together with the wire bottom between them. This secures the bottom and makes a tray an Inch and a quarter deep either way lt ls turned. Four ol! these trays will hold as much as any ordinary family would want to put out at one time, and more can be had aa needed. The wire cloth for the bottom should be galvanized and what ls Drying Tray. known as No. 2 or No. 3 mesh; that Is, there are two or three wires to the Inch, which is close enough to hold fruit The scaffold la made hy setting four posts high enough to be out of danger from the poultry. Strips of 1x4 are nailed from one post to the other as high as wanted for the trays to rest on. The end posts should be set two feet or a little more apart, which will be the proper width of the scaffold, putting the other pair of posts as far from these as the length of the scaf fold is wanted to he. When the trays are placed on these supports the air passes up through the fruit, drying lt much quicker and more uniformly. The greatest convenience In haring the trays ls when a shower threatens or to protect the half dried fruit from the night dew. The trays may be quickly taken to shelter without disturbing the fruit. If there should be several days of rainy weather the trays should be stacked one on top of the other in a shed or In the house; the air pass ing between the trays will keep the fruit from souring till again placed . out-of-doors.
