Coming Again! TO RENSSELAER AT HOTEL MAKEEVER SATURDAY, "NOVEMBER 17 NOTED HEALER’S WORK IS WONDERFUL HER WORK IS LARGELY A LABOR OF LOVE. TREATMENT FRETE “One of the many remarkable features about Mary A. Rose, the noted healer, is the extraordinary attention she attracts everywhere she appears. The crowds that have been flocking to her day after day, d have simply been enormous. The E hotels at some places in the East ? would close their doors long before noon, as many could not get in. Sufferers would come from near and far, all with ailments of nne sort or another. None were turned away—rich or poor.” MARY A. ROSE (Who has healed the sick for many years.)

THROW OLD CROOKED CANE AWAY One Ministration by Mary A. Rose Does the Work Paralysis'! Chas. Allman of Chili. Ind., was stricken with paralysis for two years and could not w T ork. He got very disheartened after being so long in pain. "Upon the wonderful recovery of my son’s wife, I placed myself under the care of Mary A. Rose, it being the 7th day of April, 191.5. When harvest came that year I was able to work in the harvest field, also went with the threshing machine and cut corn all fall. Anyone doubting the above statement', write, to me and I will give you further encouragement.’’ Lifted From Ikuithbed to Health Mrs. Forest Thomas, of Kokomo, Indiana, was healed of a dreadful inflamation of the bladder and growths in the neck of the bladder. For eleven months she was in bed and was in the hospital five different times in these eleven months. Each time while in the hospital the growths were burned with caustics. She suffered death each time. With no help she grew weaker and worse. After consultation of several doctors the arrangements were made at an Indianapolis hospital to give her a special operation. As is often the case, the message of truth ..sent her by Mary A. Rose saved her from this terrible operation. Mrs. Thomas -was carried in to me for treatment on Friday. The following Monday she was to have been operated on, but instead she was cooking her family's dinner. After receiving the treatment from Friday until Monday her pain left her and ever since she has been cooking her family’s dinner and now is well. Write to her and learn more of this .glorious work. • Epilepsy: Son of E. P. Paul, of Pyrmont, Ind., had from 25 to 10b spasms in 24 hours. He could not talk or walk and was given up by the doctors as a hopelfess case. He recovered under the treatmnt. of Mary A. Rose.

LIVING WELL WITH ECONOMY

By E. P. Miller

Editor’s note: Mr. Miller is a member of a large potato handling firm in the United Spates and is thoroughly conversant with the potato situation. Mr. Miller is serving the food administration in an advisory capacity. Some articles of food this season will be cheaper than others and at the same time so desirable as to enable one to live well with reasonable economy. An instance of this kind is found in the southern sweet potato. In the North it is by no means appreciated. But in the Somth. when properly prepared, it is esteemed one of the delicious articles on the table. Those in the North who have had an opportunity to eat the southern sweet potato in its own environment upon returning home have been unable to obtain this delicacy because the northern dealer has not carried regularly a stock. I have known families from the North, upon the discovery of the merits of the southern sweet potato, to secure their supplies in a canned form. That should not be necessary this season. The South has produced an immense crop and preparations are being made for dealers in the North to carry them as a regular stock. Consumers can assist materially by furnishing the demand which will enable the dealer to supply a very desirable commodity at a moderate cost. The southern sweet potato may be baked or steamed economically. Either way-it is delicious. Try making a sweet potato pie as you would a pumpkin pie, simply substituting the sweet potato for the pumpkin. It is necessary for this country to conserve sugar to the greatest possible extent, and the sweet potato is one food that will furnish us with a considerable amount of sugar at the lowest possible cost. The sweet potato is cheap and desirable from all points of view. Try it!

THE POULTRY FEED SITUATION

'High prices of poultry deed for the past few months have brought scores of letters to the U. S. food administration stating that the cost of egg production exceeds current market quotations. Commenting on this situation, W. F. Priebe, poultry expert of the administration, says relief is now in sight. The enormous 1917 corn crop, which will be the basis of most feeds, is just coming on the market and will reach the dealers in a few weeks. “This corn,” states Mr. Priebe, “is quoted at just' about half the latest prevailing prices for last year’s corn crop, which was short. While it is difficult to predict the future accurately, dealers have known for several months that a large corn crop is coming and are now carrying extremely low stocks of poultry feeds to avoid loss when the price slumps. Consequently, flock owners will in a short time receive the benefit of reduced prices.” Persons keeping poultry on farms or under free range conditions have profited most during 1917. Their hens have acted as scavengers in picking up waste feed in the barn yards and fields to say nothing of the insects and weed seeds they consume. Flock owners obliged to buy feed have faced a discouraging problem. But in view of prospects for cheaper feed, it would be unwise to dispose of pullets or laying hens.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Some men must do the fighting, and some must teach in schools.! and some milst do the writing, and ] others shoe the mules. Let no man, think he’s futile because he may not go and shoot holes through the' brutal, exasperating foe. I wished to join, the army; the sergeant said.! “My hat! Your years and weightj alarm me— you are too old and fat.’’ I wished*to join the navy; the officer was flip; he smiled and said, “By gravy! You’d sink our biggest ship.” Turned down by one and t'other, I merely said, “By! James, officials cannot smother my Joyal hopes and aims.” I straight-, way went to knitting; I knit when on my walks; I’m knitting when I’m • sitting, I make the soldiers socks, so stout a bull can’t tear them they’ll keep men’s tootsies warmed- —but pity those who wear them; their feet must be deformed' My wife she begs and wheedles to have me paint the barn; but with my knitting needles I use up balls of yarn. I make the sock and stocking, with large and bulging heel; when men are in them walking, how happy they will feel! You cannot help my course is wise and right; thus every human being may help to win the fight.

Rechristening Jane

By Hl AKERS

(Copyright, 1917, by W. G. Chapman.) “I wish Carr you wouldn’t call me Jane!” “My land! That was the name you was christened!” The little old lady with the thin, gray hair drawn very smoothly back in a small, tiglit knot at the back of her head, and the lined face bearing evidence of the storm and stress of many years of poverty, looked her surprise at the young, rather pretty girl who had paused in the-act of putting on her hat before the small looking glass, and turned upon her aunt with some impatience. The neighbors had been telling her they thought Jane had come back to the little village with some “high falutin notions” after her visit to the city, but this seemed to Aunt Carrilla Bean about the last straw. “Well, suppose I was christened Jane, the middle name was Mabel, and I want to be called Mabel. That’s what they all called me at Aunt Carolyna’s.” “Hm !’■ sniffed Carilla Bean. “So she’s gone and changed her name, too. When I married Joel, her name was Carline. Seems awful queer to me what’s took folks these days. Even sensible names ain’t good enough for ’em any more,” “The world has been moving, and the people with it,*' said the girl. It’s only people who want to stagnate and stick in the mud who object to new ways.” • “Well I never supposed I was sticking in the mud —but mebbe I am,” sighed the little woman. She seemed to be thinking hard, trying to draw up an estimate of herself, for she repeatedly questioned: “Mebbe I am.” Jane Mabel was neither unfeeling nor entirely selfish beyond the human tincture of these things which is always to be found in youth. The average young human has not yet suffered enough to think of the hurt in a heart

“I Want to Be Called Mabel."

But Jane Mabel had some affection for Aunt Carr, who had taken care of her ever since her parents died, when she was a little child, so she noticed the look and tone of the other, and said: “Well, you know, aunty, it isn’t to be expected when you live here in this little village year after year, you would know what people are doing and thinking out in the big world, in great cities, where you meet more people in a day than you do here in a year.” Aunt Carr’s gentle gray eyes looked slightly incredulous, and again she said: “Mebbe. Mebbe.” Then she added: “But it’s going to come hard for. mg to call you Mabel after you bein’ brought up ‘Jane.’ I’m likely to forget pretty often. And how are you ever going to break in Dan’l Jaynes?” Jane Mabel turned a rather flushed, defiant face toward her aunt. “I don’t intend to try to ‘break in’ Mr. Jaynes. I don’t mean he shall have a chance of “calling me either Jane or Mabel!” “My sakes! When did you break off with him?” “Some .time ago in my own mind. If he doesn’t know it yet, he’ll soon Jnd out,”- flashed the girl. “Well, I must say he’ll he some taken back,” said Mrs. Bean., “He was asking after you ’bout every day while you was 1 gone. He’s about the nicest young man in this place, and lots of girls would just jump at keepin’ company with him.” “They can have him,” was the terse reply. “Well, I guess you found somebody down there in the city —is that it?” “I met gentlemen,” a strong emphasist on “gentlemen.” “Yes, I did meet one I liked pretty well.” The girl’s face seemed to tell so much more than her words to the observing woman, she answered: “I reckoned so. Poor Dan’l! I hope he won’t take it too hard. Mabel, she meant henceforth to be

called, gave her hat a parting tilt, and tripped out.of the house carrying a letter to the post. It was addressed to Mr. David Sperry, at his office in the city. He had asked her to write him when she arrived home, and Mabel had taken pains with the letter. She meant to impress the gentleman with the fact that she could express herself in good English, and also not to let him see too much of her feelings regarding him. The letter must be simply friendly and dignified, for little Mabel was iwise in her day and generation.

She received a very prompt answer which evinced a decided interest In her. The correspondence proceeded with increasing interest. Then when he one day spoke of the hope of soon seeing her, and hinted that business might bring him to her little village, Mabel was seized with a dreadful misgiving lest he should come to her very humble little cottage with the faded carpet, crazy quilt pillows in the old rockers, and the pipe running up from the stove through the celling. It was all so shabby, old-fashioned, and in such questionable taste. But even Worse than her surroundings was the old-fashioned, countrified aunt with her uncultured speech, toilsome hands and face, and ill-fitting plothes. How was she ever to let David Sperry know this was the aunt with whom she lived, after meeting her with the fashionable aunt who entertained so handsomely in the city. Well, if he did come to her home she concluded she must keep Aunt Carr as much as possible out of sight. She was miserably ashamed that he should know of her humble relative and her surroundings.

The fatal day arrived. She met young Sperry at«the station. He was a cood-looklng, well-dressed man about twenty-six:, with an unmistakable city air. The hangers-on at the station stared. Mabel, torn between her delight at setting the man she loved, and the actual horror of taking him into the presence of Aunt Carr and the crazy-quilt pillows, had a strong impulse to lead him instead to the river, suggest taking a boat ride, and float off somewhere forever out of sight of the weather-beaten cottage with the tumble-down steps. But she steeled herself to the ordeal, and led the way. Arrived at the house, she made no apologies. She was too innately wellbred for that. But she put off the evil moment of introducing Aunt Carr as long as possible. When it could go no longer, she went out and brought in the little old lady who had been persuaded at the last moment to remove her checked apron. Young Sperry’s kindly tact soon made her feel so much nt home with him that she ran on glibly, in her characteristic idioms of the old-fashioned way. Mabel was intensely uncomfortable, especially when the old lady frequently called her “Jane,” and corrected herself with apologies. Aunt Carr invited him to supper, but having made no move toward getting it, Mabel fled to the kitchen, and prepared the very frugal meal. After supper Mabel took him out for a little stroll by the river. There he told her the old story, which is, after all, as young as the dawn. Mabel was very happy, but she couldn’t help dreading the going back to Aunt Carr, and the effect which the announcement might have. But he insisted on telling her. But Aunt Carr’s homely: “My-! I’m glad! I guess you’ll be good to her,” was not so bad, after all. Then Sperry said: “Now, aunty, you’ve got to promise to live with us. All my life I’ve wanted to have just the kind of an aunt your are. I won’t be happy till I get one. I thought the dear old-fashioned aunts were passed off the earth, and here I’ve got you.” Then he grabbed Aunt Carr, and kissed her, and she was so happy she cried big tears into her old checkered apron.
