WHY WOMEN WRITE LETTERS To Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. Women who are well often ask "Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?” “Are they truthful?” “ Why do women write such letters ? ” In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compoundnas brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from displacements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues. It is impossible for any woman who is well and who has never suffered y) In to realize how these {(// poor, suffering wo- S / ’EM \ r* men feel when re- 1 1 wff 11 stored to health; II j/ II their keen desire to rA //) help other women who are suffering as they did.

Achy Joints Give Warning A creaky joint often predicts rain. It may also mean that the kidneys are not filtering the poisonous uric acid from the blood. Bad backs, rheumatic pains, sore, aching joints, headaches, dizziness and urinary disorders are all effects of weak kidneys and if nothing is done, there’s danger of more serious trouble.

CAMSEIGELLENI FINANCIAL STANDING

Bank Clearings Increase —Agriculture Is a Paying Indus-try-Manufactures Doing Well. “Business experts assert that Canada is on the threshold of perhaps the most prosperous era in her history. The unprecedented value of the farm products of 1915, together with the very large output of factories working on munitions of war has suddenly brought the country into a position, financially, scarcely hoped for as a nation for years to come. Export surplus of $50,000,000 a month is making Canada very strong in cash.” —Extract from official bulletin of February 11, 1916. The response bv the farmers of Canada to the call for increased production in 1915 was a total net output exceeding one billion dollars, an increase over normal years of at least three hundred millions. The three Prairie Provinces contributed probably nearly one-half of the total product

The wheat crop was worth $310,000,000, and accounted for about 30 per cent of the total agricultural product Other things, counted also. Look at dairying. In Ontario the dairy production was Increased 20 per cent and prices were aver 10 per cent ahead of 1914. Other provinces shared in the increase, especially Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Nova Scotia. The dairy cow was “on the job” in 1915. So also were the beef cattle, the pigs and the hens. It is not fair to the farmers of the Prairies to call the wheat crop of 1915 a “miracle” crop. The farmers cultivated more land and gave attention to their seed. Providence gave them favorable weather. Then they tolled early and late In the harvesting and threshing. Good cultivation gave bigger yields than careless work, 45 bushels as against 25. The wealth of Western Canada Is by no means all in its wheat crop. If the country had no wheat at all it would still be famous as a land of successful farmers on account of Its stock production. From one shipping point (High River, Alberta) over $75,000.00 worth of horses have been sold In the last two months. The average price to the farmer has been about $175.00 per head. According to Government returns there are a million and a half horses In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, worth probably $150,000,000. The Investments which farmers of Western Canada are making In livestock and farm Improvements are good evidence of the fact that they have money for these purposes. It Is apparent, however, that they are also spending some of their profits on those things which will bring greater comfort and enjoyment to themselves,, their wives and their families. The automobile trade all through the country is particularly active, and farmers are the biggest buyers. A recent report of the Saskatoon district shows that In two months a million dollars’ worth of automobiles have been sold, largely to farmers. Nor are all of these cars of the cheaper makes; some high-priced machines are in demand. Bank clearings throughout the Western Provinces show greater commercial activity than at the same season in 1915 or 1914, the increase for the last week of February being $8,000,000 and almost $9,000,000, respectively, for the first week of March $15,000,000 over 1915 and $18,000,000 over 1914. The same excellent story comes from Moose Jaw, Sask., where they showed from 40 to 100 per cent over the previous year. Calgary, Alta., bank clearings continue to reflect the greatly Improved business conditions as compared with a year ago. Canada’s bank clearings for the month of February, 1916, were the greatest for any February In the country’s history. The totals amounted to $664,222,000.00, as compared with $487,296,000.00 for the same month a year ago. An increase of $177,000,000.00 in bank clearings for the month tells its own story of the country’s prosperity.—Advertisement

“Dont you get awful tired of running to catch that 7:59 train every morning?” asked the city man. "No,” replied the commuter. “I don’t mind that so much. What gets me sore is when I bolt my breakfast in about ten flat seconds and break all records running to the station, only to find out that the 7:59 train is half an hour late.”

GOOD FANCY CAKES

DELICACIES EASILY MADE BY THE HOME COOK. No Reason Why They Should Not Excel Those of the Professional Caterer—Some Directions That Are Worth Heeding. The clever home cook can master the making of fancy cakes without much difficulty. The tools she needs are few, and it only depends on her carefulness to make the cakes quite the equal in appearance of cakes from the caterer's. If she be a good cake maker the home-made cake can excel the caterer’s cake in deliciousness of taste.

Layer cakes depend on the icing for their elaborate appearance. So, make an ordinary layer cake and put It together with the desired filling. Then prepare a stiff boiled icing and coat the cake thickly with it. The plan of trimming must be decided on and the Ingredients needed for it must be ready beforehand. Floral decorations are decidedly attractive. They can be made with candied rose or violet petals, and with stems and leaves of angelica. Citron, too, can be used for foliage. For roses, arrange four or five rose petals in rose shape, making a' border of the roses (perhaps eight or nine) around the top, edge of the side of the cake, with stems going down the side. Or three or four roses can be arranged in a cluster on the top of the cake, in the center? Violets can be arranged in the same way, and sweet peas can be formed by a careful arrangement of rose petals. Icing decorations, too, can be made. For these, stiff icing is needed and an icing pipe or a cone of stiff brown paper are needed. Then there should be colored and white icing. For yellow, use grated orange peel and orange juice; for pink, use cochineal or cranberry juice; for green, use spinach juice. Force the stiff colored icing through the icing pipe and make the design on a cake well covered with white icing. If you are clever enough, you can make cameos. Make a disk of the colored icing, and then make a tiny head. It isn’t especially difficult after you have practiced a little to copy a real cameo with fair success. Designs of various sorts can be made with the tiny disk sugar candies of assorted colors. These are especially good to mark birthday cakes, for names and dates and pleasant wishes can all be made with them. Colored frostings can work wonders with small cakes. These can be made in small tins, or else’ in a big sheet cut into squares, diamonds and other fancy shapes.

Cocoa Marble Cake.

One-third cupful butter, one cupful sugar, one egg, one-half cupful milk, two cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful vanilla, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, three teaspoonfuls cocoa. Cream butter, add sugar, vanilla and egg. Beat thoroughly, then add flour, in which is mixed the baking powder and milk alternately until all are added. Take out about one-third the mixture, add to it the cocoa, then drop the white and the brown mixtures in spoonfuls into a deep pan. Bake about 40 minutes in a moderate t oven.

Velvet Cake.

Yolks of three and whites,’ of two eggs. Beat each separately, adj) one-half cupful sugar to each and beat. Then add white part of yolks and beat all together. Add a cupful of sifted flour, heaped a little, to which has been added one teaspoonful of cream of tartar and one-half teaspoonful of soda. Just fold the flour in, then add slowly a scant one-half cupful of hot water. Stir until smooth, and flavor. It takes about 20 minutes to bake, and quite a hot oven.

Cabbage Salad.

Cream one-fourth cupful butter and beat into it the yolk, then the white of one egg; add also two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one-fourth teaspoonful each of mustard, salt and paprika. Then pour on very gradually, beating constantly, one-half cupful hot vinegar. Cook over hot water until the mixture thickens a little. It should be like thick cream, and let cool before stirring into a generous pint of fine, shredded cabbage, prepared for salad.

Two-Egg Custard.

■ Break two eggs into a Tint bowl, add salt, and two tablespoonfuls sugar. Beat, then fill bowl up with milk, nearly a pint Grate nutmeg over top and bake in quite a hot oven. When done it will be gently swelled all over. Do not take from oven if there Is a little depression in center, as it will not be firm and watch closely at the last and do not let it stay in too long or it will curdle.

Apricot Pudding.

Put a layer of apricots (dried, made into rich sauce) into a buttered dish, add a - few lumps of butter, then a layer of cracker crumbs, sprinkled with a little cinnamon, then a layer of apricots, etc., making the last layer of crumbs. Bake In oven and eat hot or cold (hot is best) with sweetened whipped cream. ~

“I wonder why they call them stag parties?” remarked the man who had just received an invitation to attend one. "It’s probably an allusion to that well-known quotation: The stag at eve had drunk his fill.”’ replied his wife meaningly.
