CLERK DESERVED THE ROSE

His Process of Clever Reasoning Was Certainly Well Worth the Decoration. 0 When a telegram arrived at the Waldorf addressed to Mrs. S. Harkins Edward Glasheen, the information clerk looked through his big book and found no person by the name of Harkins was stopping In the hotel. It is a part of bis duties, according to the New York Times, to deliver telegrams that at first look undeliverable, and as ne studied the address on the telegram, knowing something about the Morse alphabet, he Remembered that ”h’ is four dots and a “p” is five, thereupon he looked into his big bqpk again afid .found that Mrs. S Parlfihs was stopping in the hotel. When Mrs. Perkins came to' the desk he handed her the telegram and asked if it was for her. She handed it back. “I am sure it is not for me," she said. ? “Would you mind opening and making sure?” asked Glasheen. Mrs. Parkins tore open the envelope and glanced at the slgntaure. “Why, it is for me!” she exclaimed. Then Glasheen picked up the ro&e somebody had just presented to John Woelfle, his assistant, and stuck it in his buttonhole.

Forgot Himself.

There is a story going about of a man who resolved to give up drinking, and went to a temperance lecturer to draw him up an affidavit to that effect. The document was drawn, read and proved. The party held up his hand and murmured the usual promise. The paper was then properly sealed and delivered “What’s to pay?” asked the pledgemaker. . “To pay? to pay?” exclaimed the lecturer, “Nothing, of course—this is a labor of love.” "Nothing to pay!” returned the grateful but very forgetful pledgetaker. “Well, that’s handsome. Let’s go and have a drink!”

How to Dodge the Snuffles.

"If you want to dodge the ‘snuffles,* ” says a well-known physician, "the time to begin is right now. Don’t cuddle ’ yourself. Don’t hug the radiator. Don’t wear heavy underwear. Don’t stay indoors. Don’t eat too much. Don’t bundle up. Don’t be to comfortable. And girls, go right on wearing your lownecked dresses. It is the most sensible style that woman has adopted in years. Keep to it. But do not make the mistake of changing from low to high and then back again. To get into condition for the winter and the rout of the ‘snuffles' you must extend the unprotected area.”

United Only tor One Thing.

India is not a nation. It is a geographical conglomeration of various peoples and languages, whose early history was a succession of tribal con filets and warring states, bound together only by a certain oneness of religion, and above all, hued and mold ed by foreign conquest into an amalgamation of unwilling submission and .compulsory allegiance.

Coal and Petroleum Production.

The United States mines nearly 40 per cent of the world’s output of coal and produced- 65 per cent of the petroleum in 1913. Of the more essential metals, 40 per cent of the world’s output of iron ore is raised from American mines, and the smelters of the United States furnish the world with 55 per cent of its copper and at least 30 per cent of its lead and zinc.

“Shot” for Johnny.

“I wonder why they call that a ladybug?" queried Johnny. “Because it’s got good manners and behaves itself and doesn’t go shouting around like a boy, I guess,” answerd his sister. Wise is the man who appoints himself chairman of the advisory board of bls own business.

A REBELLION Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot of abuse, but sometime it will surely rebel and demand proper food In place of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on 4 whicfi lt has been made sick. Then Is the time to try Grape-Nuts, the most scientific and perfect food In the world. . , A lady of Washington says: “Three years ago I was very 111 with catarrh of the stomach'and was given up to die by one doctor.' I laid In bed four months and my stomach was so weak that I could not keep down medicine or hardly any kind of food and ftas so weak apd emaciated after four months of this* starvation that my daughter could easily lift me from bed and put me in my chair. "But weak as my stomach was, it accepted, relished and digested GrapeNuts without any difficulty the first time that wonderful food was tried. "I am now strong and in better health than for a great many years* and am gradually growing still stronger. I rely on Grape-Nuts for much of the nourishment that I get. The results have certainly been wonderful, in my case and prove that no stomach Is so weak it will z not digest Grape-Nuts. "My baby got fat from feeding on Grape-Nuts. I was afraid I would have to stop giving the food to him, but I gugss it is a healthy fat, for his health Is Just perfect.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES

Speyer* Say* Newspaper Should Invewuggte Merits of Medicine* Before Barring Advertisement*. That an organized attempt has been Shade to blacken the reputation of the popular family remedies of this country, and to mislead the newspaper publishers, into rejecting the advertising of such medicines, was the charge made by Carl J. Balliett. of Buffalo, N. Y., at the convention of the Advertising Affiliation at Detroit Mr. Balliett is a director ,of the Proprietary Association of America, which includes in its membership two hundred firms which make the popular prepared medicines of America. Mr. Balliett pointed out that it Is the duty of the newspaper publisher to. refuse the advertising of any fake or fraudulent medicine, just as it is his duty to refuse any fake or fraudulent advertising, but it is not right to shut down on all medical advertising because there have been some fakers, any more than it would be right to refuse to publish all department store advertising because certain stores have made a practice of lying about bargain sales. Disease and death are mysteries. People who are perfectly well are skeptical. They laugh at the timeworn patent medicine joke, just as they laugh again and again over the many variations of the operation joke —“The operation was a success but the patient died.” This so-called humor has perhaps hurt the medicine business with well people, but when the hitherto healthy man feels a severe paimjar illness, he immediately wants medicine, and will bless the cure' whettier it be at the hands of a regular doctor, a homeopath, an osteopath, a Christian Scientist or patent medicine. There is nothing more deadly than disease; | nothing more honorable than to cure it. Mr. Balliett refuted the idea sought to be spread about that patent medicines are unpopular by showing that from 1900 to 1912 the amount of prepared medicines consumed in America increased from $100,000,000 to $160.000,000 annually. He showed that, although the American Medical Association is trying as an organization to exterminate so-called patent medicines, the family doctor, individually, is not fighting them but prescribing them. He estimated that 40% of the prescriptions written by doctors today include proprietary medicines. , The writings of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, he said, have also aimed to destroy confidence in proprietary medicines; but that Dr. Wiley’s ideas are not infallible is shown by'cases where his analyses were entirely wrong. Mr. Balliett mentioned a case where, with all the power of the Government, he fought a preparation as being dangerous to health, and was ingloriously walloped. There has been spread the idea that a clever faker can mix a few useless ingredients and, by smart advertising, sell tons of it and win sudden wealth; whereas, as a matter of fact, the medicine business is notoriously difficult, and, where there has been one success at it, there have been a hundred failures. Any medicine which has no merit cannot live, because persons who are duped into buying it once will not buy it again, and the profit from advertising a medicine can only come from repeat sales to the same, satisfied people. Therefore, any medicine which has been on the market for a number of years, and is still advertised, must have merit behind it to account for its success. In conclusion Mr. Balliett declared that no newspaper is doing justice to its readers .in the. matter of medical or other advertising, unless it investigates, no. only the wording of the advertisement offered for publication, but the merits qf the article advertised. He pointed out that the few newspapers who have been deluded into the policy of barring out medical advertising have adopted this general policy, rather than to form an investigation bureau of this kind which could, in a constructive and useful effort, Investigate and decide what Is a good product andt jvhat is a fraud, in not only the medicine business, but in every other business which advertises its wares to the public. The audience seemed to agree with Mr. Balliett’s ideas ors the subject and the chairman decided the question at issue in his favor.

Censored.

The prankish shepherd-boy in the fable ran with simul|ted terror into the village. —(deleted by the censor)!” he Trtrouted. S The next! day the same thing happened again. Also the third day. On the fourth day the boy camejunning likewise, but now his terror was altogether real. “Wolf!” he screamed frantically. Whereumjn the men of the village having no reason to dee>m themselves deceived, went out and slew the wolf and saved their flocks from destruction.

Puzzled Clarence.

Little Clarence —Pa! His Father —Well, my son? Little Clarence —I took a walk through-the cemetery today and read the inscriptions on the tombstones. His Father —And what were your thoughts after you, had done so? - Little Clarence —Why, pa, I wondered where all the wicked people were buried.-*-Judge.

SEVEN METHODS OF SAVING

Some Good Uifes for Utilization of Leftover* Which Will interest the Housekeeper. 1. Save badly cut pieces oi bread and slices left over from the table for a bread pudding or a Brown Betty. Save every scrap and crust to crumb up for stuffings or to use for breading scallop dishes, croquettes, etc. 2. Remove the sinew from the legs of a fowl when it is drawn and the meat of the leg will be as good as that of the second joint. 3. Cold rice shopld always be saved;; ft can be added to a soup, mashed into croquettes, mixed with eggs and fried like hominy or used in a scallop dish. 4. Leftover vegetables, when the amount is too small to ;be served again, may be mixed .with gravy for a ragout, or used septnately or together for a salad. Cauliflower, potatoes and cabbage are good broken in small pieces covered with grated cheese and baked in a baking dish, “aU gratin.” 5. Small portions of leftover cereals may be added to the pancake batter and will greatly Improve the cakes. Or they may be rolled into balls and fried, or added to the soup stock. s 6. The tough ends of steak may be chopped very fine, seasoned well with pepper, salt, butter and a little onion juice and formed into balls or cakes for sautes or broiled for luncheon. Scraps of white meat may be chopped, mixed with a white sauce warmed up and garnished with parsley and hardboiled eggs. The carcasses of fowl and the bones of roasts should be used to make a nourishing soup. Beef fat and drippings and the fat from poultry should be clarified and kept for frying. Wings and legs of fowls that are left over are good grilled for luncheon. 7. Sour milk may be used for corn bread, griddle cakes, ginger bread and biscuits. It may be made into cream cheese or turned into a refreshing drink by icing it and whipping it for about five minutes with an egg beater.

CANDIES TO FOLLOW FEAST

Confections, That Are Sure to Please if Care I* Taken in Cooking and Mixing. (By MARTHA ELLEN PERRYMAN.) First there are some hints it will be well to observe if you hope for good fortune in candy-making; Granulated sugar is preferable, and always used unless some other kind is specified. Candy should not be stirred while boiling. Cream of tartar should not be added until the sirup begins to boil, and butter should be put in when the candy is nearly done. Flavors are most delicate when not boiled with the candy, but added when it is taken from the fire, or when it is being pulled. Butter Taffy.—Boll three cupfuls of brown sugar, one-half cupful of molasses, and one-fourth cupful each of vinegar and hot water. When the candy will crisp in cold water add two teaspoonfuls of butter, cook three minutes, flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla and cool in buttered pans. Hickory-Nut Candy.—Boil two cupfuls of sugar and one-half cupful of water without stirring until the sirup will “spin a thread” when poured from the spoon. Flavor with extract of lemon Or vanilla, set off into cold water, stir in one cupful of hickory-nut meats, then into flat tins, and when cool cut in small squares. Peppermint*.—Boil two cupfuls of sugar and one cupful of water without stirring until the sirup threads from the spoon. Remove from the Are and beat with an egg-whip until white and creamy, flavor with oUe-half teaspoonful of essence of peppermints (less if you do not like it so strong) and drop in wafers on waxed paper to harden. You can make chocolate peppermints by dipping the cream into melted chocolate. Wintergreen, lemon, orange and other flavors may be used for the mints. These candles are all easily made and you will find it a pleasant pastime to prepare at home the candies for the Thanksgiving feast.

Potatoes In Half-Shell.

To each baked potato take one tablespoonful milk or cream and onehalf tablespoonful butter. Salt to taste. Cut potatoes in two, lengthwise, and remove inner portion. Add butter, salt and cream. Beat until light, return to the shells pyramid fashion and set in oven to brown.

Roasted Potatoes.

Do any of the readers serve roasted potatoes with the Sunday roast? Pare and wash, and an hour before taking out the roast place the potatoes in the pan; after half an hour turn them and when done they will be a lovely golden brown and sweet as a nut. Try them and see.

The network of nerves in your body, Uke the network of wires in a burglar alarm system, give* quick warnihg when anything is going wrong inside. Looking at it in this’ way a pain is a useful alarm. Now, kidney weakness is a dangerous thing—a condition not to be neglected—and it is wise to know and pay attention to the early alarm signals of sick kidneys. Backache is a common warning of congestion or inflammation in the kidneys. It may be dull, nagging pain, or a sharp twinge when stooping or lifting. There are likely to be disorders of urination, dizziness, headaches, and drowsy, despondent, tired feelings. It is very hard to strengthen weak kidneys at first, but neglect invites rheumatic or neuralgic attacks, gravel, dropsy, and fatal Bright’s disease. As a special medicine for weak kidneys Doan’s Kidney Pills have been used ’ for years all over the civilized world, and surely are considered reliable. The patient can .always help the medicine immensely, however, by dieting lightly, using little or no liquor, tea or coffee, keeping regular hours and drinking lots of pure water.

Mr. Peaslee's Retort.

The pretty little waitress in the hotel in Dilmouth was prompt and efficient—ks if to for the cuisine of the hotel, whlctr^aKfrankly bad. She was perhaps inclined to be a little pert at times, but that.,may have been merely her meansTof;defense against the complaints of the patrons about the quality of the fopd and drink. \ So when Mr. Peaslee asked his fourth cup of coffee, she brought it speedily. As he thoughtfully stirred the week, yellowish solution, the waitress remarked: “You seem to be fond of coffee.” Mr. Peaslee, nothing abashed, smiled upon her benignly. “I be fond of coffee,” he admitted, placidly. "My! Ain’t you quick to notice things! I’m dretful fond of it. If I wa’n’t, he concluded, slowly, while his pleasant old face lighted whimsically, “I don’t believe I’d drink so much water for the sake of getting a little coffee.” —Youth’s Companion.

Dress of Moslem Women.

We regret -io learn that certain of our women, not appreciating the exceptional gravity 'of the general situation and of our present national situation, and in spite of the reiterated and energetic orders of the military authorities, dress themselves ip an unsuitable way, and one calculated to seriously offend the religious sentiments and national customs. In the name of the well-being oT the country we call upon the military authorities to put an end to such a state of affairs by a few exemplary punishments, for this method of dress is neither fashionable nor artistically beautiful nor does it comport with feminine prestige. —From the Tasfiri Efkiar, Constantinople.

Chicago, 111., says: "Kidney disease in my case started with a dull pain In my right side which never left me. As time went by my kidneys got worse and frequently the kidney secretions were as red as blood. I noticed deposits in the Secretions and the trouble got so bad that I had to lay off from work. My back was so stiff and lame I couldn’t bend and sound sleep was out-of the question. Mornings I was unable to dress myself without help. I had a poor appetite and lost weight so fast that my clothing hung on me like a bag. I lost over fifty pounds in weight.; There was a large swelling over my right kidney and my complexion was sallow. The doctor's medicine didn’t help me and he said I would have to undergo.an operation. About that time I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills and the first two boxes helped me. I kept bn improving and soon felt one hundred per cent better. All the aliments were removed and today I am in the best of health. My cure has lasted and I am only too glad to tell about my experience for the benefit of other kidney sufferers.”
