ord should include: the name, race and
age of each convict; the date on which
he was committed and^ discharged and
whether he was freed, escaped oV dis

whether he is a trusty or has a family
dependent upon him for support; and
the length of his sentence.
2, The county physician, or in case
the gang is too far from Barnwell for
him to reach it,^ then the physician
nearest the camp, should he paid by
the supervisor out of the county funds
for making a physical examination of
all convicts, unless they have been
physically examined In jail, when they
are brought to camp. Vaccination and
treatment as indicated should follow
this physical examination.
3. A kitchen car should he provid

used indoors have the whole thing in
a large pan tp catch the drip.' The
. pan.s and cas^, may be painted, white
and thenVenameled. A Covering , of
white canton flannel, sho.uld be made
to fit the frame.^_ Have the smooth
side out and button the covering to
the frame with buggy or automobile
curtain hooks and eyes, arranged' so
that the door may be opened without
unfastening these hooks. This can
easily be done by putting oy row of
hooks on the edge of the door near the
latch and the other just opposite the
opening with the hem oh eath side ex
tended far enough to cover the crack
at the edge of the door, so as to keep
out the warm, outside air and retain
the cooled aiif. The dress, or covering
will have to be hooked around the
top edge also.** Two double strips one
half the width of each side should be
sewed on-the top of each side and al
lowed to extend over 2% or 3 inches
in the pan of water. The bottom of
the covering should extend to the low
er edge of the case. Place the refrig
erator in a shady place whGre air will
circulate around it freely. If buttons
and button holes are used on the can
ton flannel instead of buggy hooks the
cost should not exceed 85 cents.

Many home-made devices which
add to the comfort of the housewife
are being made and uaed by women
county agents in the Home Demon
stration Work, and by women who
are working as their demonstrators.
The following are especially helpful
during the warm summer months:
First: The home-made cooker
Those who give the cooker a thorough
test And it to lie a true friend. The
meats and vegetables cooked in it are
delicious. A very simple one may be
made from a lard pail and 20 pound
lard bucket, using the wooden pail
for the outer container. Pack 3 inches
of cotton see? lulls, excelsior or
shredded newspaper in the bottom of
the lard pail. Then place the bucket
or nest in and pack tightly the space
of three inches with the hulls or excel
sior. There should be a space of throe
inches between th j nejt and thq lop
of the outer container. Cut a pice: of
card board to fit over tpc packing.
Make a cushion to go orLtop of the
nest, so that there will be no ar space
between the nest and the wooden top.
Fasten this top securely with hooks.
The cooking utensils may be the reg
ular fireless cooking aluminum utensil
or any close fitting utensil. The radi
ators may be made of soap stone or
iron. Some use the lid of a stove. The
radiator may be heated while break
fast is cooking, the heated vessel and
radiator put in the “nest,” the pail
fastened up and cooking goes on un
disturbed. The spices and flavors of
meats and vegetables are retained and
the food is not cooked to pieces.
The iceless refrigerator is another
great help. This consists of a wooden
frame, covered with canton flannel,
or some similar material. * It is desir
able that the frame be screened, al
though this is not absolutely neces
sary. Wicks made 'of the same ma
terial as the covering rest in a pan of
water on top of the refrigerator, al
lowing the water to seep down the
sides. When evaporation takes place
the heat is taken from the inside, with
a consequent lowering of the tempera
ture. On dry, hot days a temperature
of 50 degrees may be obtained in this
refrigerator. .To make it use a
screened case 3 V4'feet high with the
other (fiiriensions 12 by 15 inches.
Place the pan of water on top. Have
two shelves 12 to 15 inches apart.
Use heavy wire, or bore auger holes
in the shelves for passage of air. Use
' a biscuit pan on top to hold the water,
and where the refrigerator is to be

Knowledge and*Culture.
A great memory dues not make a
philosopher any more than a diction
ary ran be called a grammar. There
are men who embrace In tbelr minds a
vast multitude of Ideas, but with little
sensibility alsnit their real relations to
ward each other. These may he anti
quarians. annalists, naturalists; they
may be learned In the law; they may
he versed In statistics; they are most
useful In their own place. 1 should
shrink from speaking dliresi>cct fully
of theiu. Still, there Is nothing In such
attainments to guarantee the almencp
of narrowness of mtntt. If they arv
nothing more than well read men or
men of information they have not
what specially deserves the name of
culture of mind or fulfills the tyi>e of
liberal education.—N'ewman.
England’s First Almanac.
The first almanac printed In England
was the “Kalendur of Shephardes,"
which np|>eared In 14!I7, Just forty
years after l!utenl>erg printed his first
almanac at Montz. From that time on
ward almanacs were numerous, “omens
and prognostications” l>elng added in
most cases to the calendar Information.
One of the earliest specimens preserved
enjoys the title of “The Prognostyck-
cyon of Master John Tybault, of the
Influence of the moon, of peas and
warre and of sykenesscs of the yere,
with the constellaclons that be under
the planets and the revoluclons of
kynges and princes.”—Ixindon Mirror.
Mslba’s Nams.
Mme. Melba's name was Nellie
Mitchell until her marriage, when It
became Mrs. C. N. F. Armstrong. At
the time of her debut Into opera she
decided to adopt a stage name, and
her intense loyalty to the land of her
birth moved her to combine the first
four letters of Melbourne, her native
town, and the last letter of Victoria,
the reigning queen of that time, to
gether making Melba.—New York Tele

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, 1
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill. 9
1 wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The_ Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad, * j
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
