How Mach to Provide.

In preparing for church suppers and similar entertainments, the following estimate of the amount of provisions required, may be useful. A writer in the New York Tribune is our authority: For fifty guests, the chicken salad will require five medium sized chickens and twelve heads of celery; 100 sandwiches, 1% pounds of coffee and three pints of cream, two gallons of ice cream, two molds of jelly and five loaves of cake will be needed. If escalloped oysters are on the menu, one gallon of oysters, 2 pounds of crackers and 1 pound of butter will be wanted for them. With sandwiches five dozen biscuits and 2% pounds of butter will be sufficient; U pounds of boiled ham with 2 pounds of butter will be an ample allowance for 100 minced ham sandwiches. A preventive of frostbitten plants that will be a timely hint before many weeks have passed is secured by sinking one flower pot inside another. A plant thus guarded will stand a much lower temperature than one in a single pot The gloomiest mountain doesn’t cast a shadow on both sffies at once.

MISS FRANCES M. ANDERSON, Corresponding Secretary of the Higher Educational League, writes from the“Astoria,"Washington, D. C., the following: % “About two months ago I was taken very HI with la grippe and was obliged to go to bed. I took three bottles of Peruna with very beneficial results,. and was able to leave my bed in a week and regained my usual strength very soon. “I have nothing but praise for Peruna, and recommend It to those similarly afflicted whenever / can.” — Frances M. Anderson. - ■ La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic catarrh—that is to say, a variety of acute catarrh which is so contagious and runs a course more or le»3 definite, the same as scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc. During the acute stages of la grippe it is not a very } fatal disease, but the condition in which it leaves the system has caused the death of a countless number. Indeed nearly every person who has had la grippe within the last three years finds himself more or leas deranged by the pernicious effects of this disease. The majority of those who have escaped death find life scarcely worth living. If this vast multitude of people could only know with what certainty and promptness Peruna would relieve them Of all the bad effects which la grippe has brought upon them, what an untold amount of suffering would be averted! Thousands have already heard how quickly this remedy will cure in these cases and have been saved; but tens of thousands have not yet heard, and conThe business of the head is to form a good heart, and not merely to rule an evil one, as is generally imagined. —Sir A. Helps. BToek, in Holland, is famed as the "neatest” town in the world.

Peruna cures catarrh in all stage* and varieties, whether acute or chronic, and is therefore the most effective remedy ever devised for removing all the derangements which follows la grippe. Samuel M. York writes from Union GrQve, Ala., the following letter: Dear Sir—“ Last week I was taken with la grippe and catarrhal deafness. I wrote you for advice and followed your directions. After taking two bottles of Peruna I found myself well of la grippe, and my hearing was fully restored. My health is better than It has been in five yet-rs. “My wife improved In health very much after taking Peruna.” —Samuel M. York. Mi9s Caroline J. Kahl, Otlsoo, In 4„ writes as follows: “Three years I had la grippe and pulmonary trouble. / was ve>y sick. / bad hemorrhages of the lungs nearly every day for a year and three bottles of your Peruna cured me.
