Dr. Finch enjoys a state wide reputation, among the i profession and the Public of Indiana, j where for more than Forty Years he has devoted his entire time to thej Study, Treatment and Cure of j Chronic Diseases. The Doctor has' had wonderful success in his chosen work, that of curing chronic suffer-' ers, Men, Women and Children. The Patients he has restored to Health after they had given up all hope or being cured are numbered by the Thousands. He is a kind, generous, democratic gentleman to meet, of high scholarly attainments, and dignified personality. Coupled with a Fatherly interest, in all who seeK his advice. He does not take a Patient for Treatment unless he can foresee a Cure of the Case.

It It wifl cost you nothing If he does not put you under treatment. If he takes your case, it will cost you a very small sum to get well. Remember the Date, Feb. 4th. and borne early.

Cookery notes

Prune Souffle. For prun<e souffle remove the- pits ; from a large cupful of stewed prunes and chop fine. Add the whites of three eggs and half a cupful of sugar beaten to a stiff froth. Mix well, turn into a. buttered dish and bake thirty

minutes in a moderate oven. Serve with whipped cream. If It is desired to cook 'this in individual cups butter the cups, fill only two-thirds full to allow for puffing np of the eggs and set the cups : in a pan of water to bake. Some like a dash of cinnamon in this.

Another recipe for prune whip in which the making is omitted is especially rich. Take one pintf'of stewed prunes, one-third pint of thick cream, whites of six eggs and raspberry or loganberry jelly. After thoroughly draining the prunes pit them and rub them through a colander, but avoid rubbing the skins through as much as possible. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, then by degrees beat this into sifted prunes. If not sweet enough to suit the taste add a teaspoonful of sugar. The delicacy of this dish dei>ends largely upon the thoroughness with which the ingredients are beaten together. When well beaten together pour into a glass dish. Whip the cream and spread evenly over the top of pudding, then fleck the whipped cream with bits of the Jelly. Serve with cream or, if preferred, with a custard made, from the yolks of six eggs.

Chicken Pie. Two medium sized chickens, one pound of raw sausage, one slice of onion, a few herbs, a little chopped parsley, seasoning of salt and pepper, two cupfuls of cold water, one heaping tablespoonful of powdered gelatin, some pastry, one raw egg, one hard cooked egg and a few slices of cold ham.

Cut the chickens Into neat, small joints and take out the bones. Skin the sausages. Put the bones, • necks and_ gizzards into a pan with enough cold water to cover them; also the onion, herbs and seasoning. Let all simmer gently for an hour and a half. Put a layer of chicken in a pudding dish, then some slices of cold ham and bard boiled egg Sprinkle over these some chopped parsley, pepper and salt. Repeat these layers tilt the dish is full, then pour in the cold water. Put on the lid of pastry. Decorate it with leaves of pastry, glaze it with beaten egg and bake for two hours In a quick oven to begin with and then in a cooler. When it Is done lift out the center ornament and pour in the stock made from the bones.

Stsv/s That Are Good to Eat. A variation of the old time Irish stew has the meat cooked with tomatoes, peppers and potatoes in place of the usual carrots and other vegetables. For a brown stew cut the cooked or uncooked meat in pieces, roil them in Hour and fry them brown in drippings. Then turn iu hot wafer and, boil until the meat is within fifteen minutes of being tender. Add potatoes cut-in pieces, a green pepper or two with the seeds and cut iu pieces a sweet red pepper or two prepared in the same waygud a half cupful of tomatoes. Season with stilt, pepper and a little paprika.

Clam Fritters. The following batter is excellent for clam fritters: Sift a pint of flour with a teaspoonful each of salt, sugar aud cream of tartar and half a teaspoonful of soda. Add a tablespoonful of melted butter, one egg and half a pint of milk. Mix the flour, sugar, salt, soda and cream of tartar together and rub through a sieve. Whip the egg till very light and stir it into the milk, then beat it gradually into the dry ingredients. When the batter is smooth stir a very scant pint of chopped clams into- it, taking care not to add enough clam juice to moisten it too much. Fry ou a hot griddle. ,

Neapolitan Cake. For neapolitan cake prepare two cake batters, one white and the other yellow, and divide each batter into two parts. Color one half of the white batter a beautiful pink and leave the other half white. Color and flavor one half of the yellow batter with chocolate. Bake each of the cakes in layer form and when cold place the layers together with a nice soft Icing flavored with orange juice. The yellow layer may be flavored with oraiige juice if desired and the white flavored with vanilla or almond. The pink may be flavored with strawberry or rose.

Pepper Nuts. One pound of pulverized sugar, One pound of flouT (very scant), three eggs, two ounces of chopped citron, one tablespoonful of cinnamon, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of cloves, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper, one-quar-ter of a pound of chopped almond meats. Beat the sugar and eggs one hour, then add the other ingredients, the citron last. Put in little Tumps in greased pan. Bake in moderate oven.

An Attractive Sundae. FoV an attractive sundae prepare a vanilla ice cream, divide it among as many sherbet glassed as there are guests to be served and sprinkle each with minced nut meats and pour around it some finely flavored sirup from a jar of the best preserved gin get-

THE NOTE OF DREAD IMPORT

Debt of Honor That InyOlVed a Human Life.

About the middle of the last century, when the southern states were divided into a number of large plantations, Cuthbert Swayne, a recent graduate of a northern college, { took a fancy to become a tutor in sooie southern manor bouse. He found a position with an elderly widow, Mrs. Randall, whose children be was engaged to teach. There were two older children—Guy, who was leading a profligate life in Paris, and Evelyn, a girl of seventeen, with her mother on the plantation. Cuthbert Swayne had been brought up to consider himself the heir to the estate of an uncle, Mr. Seymour, who was childless. Mr. Seymour was old and feeble.

- The young northerner had not been long at the plantation before it was evident to every one except her mother that Evelyn Randall was desperately in love with him. Unfortunately Cuth--1 bert did not reciprocate. The girl was so incapable of concealing her passion that those about her were inclined to smile. But It was no laughing matter. One day after a scene in which she and Cuthbert were the actors he notified her mother that he would cancel / his engagement and go north immediately. The next morning Evelyn Randall Was found dead in her bed. She had committed suicide.

Naturally the blow fell heavily on Cuthbert. He was eager to get away, but Mrs. Randall, who was ignorant of the cause of her daughter’s act. begged him not to desert her in her trouble. The old lady sent for her son to come home, and Cuthbert agreed to remain till his arrival.

When Guy Randall arrived he. was made acquainted with the reason of his sister's suicide. He came also to other troubles. A mortgage that had been for many years on the plantation was about to be foreclosed. His mother. instead of paying the interest, had sent it to him to squauder in Paris. Guy invited Cuthbert into a room in a wing of the house where they were not likely to be disturbed, and when they were together Guy locked the door. He told Cuthbert that none but a craven would permit a girl to bear the whole burden of a tragic love affair and he expected him to inflict upon himself what his sister had suffered. Guy at the same time tossed a bowie knife—a common Weapon at that time in the south—to Cuthbert and demanded that he should kill himself. Cuthbert might have used the knife in self defense, but Guy covered him with a pistol. Indeed, had Guy s life been at Cuthbert's disposal to save his own he would not have 1 taken in The death of thei-sister was quite enough without having the blood of her brother on bis hands.

•*1 assure you.” said Cuthbert, "that I am entirely blameless, but anything I can do to atone for a fault for which I cannot hope that you will acquit me I will do. lam supposed to be heir to the estate of my uncle, estimated to be worth $200,000. My uncle is an old man. liable to die at any moment. I will sign a note for that amount due. on the day he dies, if Ido not inherit the property as expected then 1 will accept the same fate as the poor girl who died l>ecause she loved me."

A short discussion followed this proposal. at the end of which Cuthbert signed the note payable to whoever should he owner or owners of the Randall estate when it should fall due. When the two left the room Cuthbert went directly to the stables, mounted a horse and rode to a railway station ten miles away. He was never again seen at the Randall plantation. 0

S'pvenil years after this Cuthbert Svavne, having studied medicine, was house surgeon at a hospital in a large northern city. Among the young women being educated for nurses in the institution was Ruth Hoyt, a girl of more than ordinary refinement. Who she was and where she came from she kept to herst-K. Dr. Swayne fell in love with her. and his love was returned. As each year had passed ai d taken him farther from the tragedy the note he had signed Iwre harder upon him. but it was not till ho fed in love that he realized its true import. One evening Miss Hoyt went into Dr. S.wayne's office to make a report aud surprised him holding a leaded pistil to his tem pie. He lowered the weap n and gave her an explanation, ending by teiling her that he had just hoard of his uncle's death and that his property had been given to charity. “I had hoped,” he said, ‘‘that when my uncle died this incubus that has been hanging over me would be lifted and that I might take a new hold of life. In that event I had intended to ask yon to begin life with me. We are both obliged to work for a living, but I should have succeeded in my profession. 1 Now, my uncle’s estate having gone elsewhere, my life must be exchanged for my note.” As he spoke the last words he bowed his head, covering his face with his hands. He felt It lifted by another and looked into a face smiling with encouragement. “I will pay l your note,” she said. “Listen to me. I am worth three times its amount. I came here to educate myself the better to distribute my income among the poor. My first be .quest is in payment of your debt. This Will take a large portion of my possessions, but I shall gain in exchange the heart of an honorable man”

BEILHARZ ENTERTAINERS

E. G. Bauman, Mgr. Mt. Vernon. Ind., Chautauqua.—lt affords me great pleasure to say that the Beilharz Entertainers were one of the best attractions on our program. Their entertainments are high-class and exceedingly popular.

Vernon audience, and we have the best on the Lyceum platform. I can most cheerfully recommend the Beilharz Company to Lecture Courses and Chautauqua committees. They are all right and will not disappoint you. At the M. E. church Monday evening, Mar. 13.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

As usual, there will be many changes in postoffice address of readers of The Democrat this spring, and we want to urge upon all such to either notify us or their postmaster or rural route carrier, as the case may be, of their new address. If you notify your postmaster or rural route carrier before you move, giving a list of the newspapers and periodicals you are taking, it is then their duty to notify the publishers thereof of your new address on cards furnished by the postoffice department for precisely that purpose.
