UPHILL. Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end. Will the day's Journey take the whole lone day? From morn to night, my friend. But is there for the night a resting place?

CULINARY ART. Since the days when Eve concocted a toothsome salad for Adam from the succulent green things of that wonderful garden, the culinary art has taken rank with the other fine arts. Like all the other artistic geniuses, cooks are born and not made. This is not said to discourage those ardent individuals who lack divine fore, for in their behalf have appeared a series of guide books pointing the way to the human, heart by this surest of all routes, the . ailmentary canal. In the light of the present day scientific methods in the kitchen as elsewhere, the old-time cook book bears the rare flavor, of interest that antiquity lends. In a strange old volume published a half century or more ago by a famous Philadelphia cook, the author sets forth her own value in a modest' preface, in which she speaks of herself
wievisicu iui uiaujr nn ivr lug superiority of every article she made in South Nine street, above Spruce." She advises every woman to purchase the book at once. It will give you all better meals," she says, "and make your cost of living less." There was little tariff discussion in that day. bat the increased cost of foodstuffs met with the same disapproval that the housewife pours out so lavishly in this twentieth century. But the most patent argument of all which the author-cook uses to persuade a bygone generation of housekeepers to part with their silver! In
purchase of this guide book to the heart of man, lies 'in the statement;, "It will keep your husbands, sons and brothers in excellent humor.' With all our science and skill, the cook book of today can offer nothing more appealing, and the culinary expert who can put upon the market recipes that will guarantee bringing the disposition of modern man to the state of perfection and efficiency promised by the cook from Philadelphia, may rest assured of a place among the six best sellers.
Physical Wreck Restored to Health By Great Kidney Remedy. I feel it my duty to furnish you with my testimonial as to what your remedy Swamp-Root did for me when I was a physical wreck from kidney and bladder trouble. Some years ago I was not able to do any work and could only just creep around and am satisfied that had it not been for Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root I would not have lived. After using the preparation for one month I was able to work some and when I had used $8.00 worth of Swamp-Root I could do a good day's work. I used about $10.00 worth altogether and would not take $10,000 for the good that it did me. I consider it a God-send to suffering humanity for the diseases for which you recommend it and have recommended it to many sufferers. N. L. HOGGINS, Welch, Ark. Personally appeared before me this 20th of September, 1909, N. L. Huggins, who subscribed the above statement and made oath that the same is true in substance and in fact. W. A. PAGE, J. P.
