SUFFERED SEVEN LONHEARS Finally Relieved by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Ravenswood, W. Va. — “For seven long years I suffered from a female trouble

and inflammation so that I was not able to do my housework. I consulted several doctorsbut none seemed to give me relief. I read in a paper about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound so I decided to try it, and before the first bottle was gone I found great relief so

I continued using it untu I had taken eight bottles. Now lam very well and can do my own housework. I can gladly recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s medicine to suffering women.” —Mrs. Bertha Liering, R. F. D., Ravenswood, W.Va. The ordinary day of most housewives Is a ceaseless treadmill of washing, cooking, cleaning, mending, sweeping, dusting and caring for little ones. How much harder the tasks when some derangement of the system causes headaches, backaches, oearing-down pains and nervousness. Every such woman should profit by Mrs. Liering’s experience. Remember this, for over forty Sars Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable mpound has been restoring health.

Not only Is the reindeer prized highly for Its flesh, but the skins are valuable for glove-making. Tanned with the hair on, they are very light, and robes made from the soft tanned skins with the hair on are for weight probably by far the warmest covering known. These might become extremely useful as automobile robes for winter in colder parts of the country. A Contradiction. Witness—He looked me straight in the eyes and— Lawyer—There, sir, you’ve flatly contradicted your former statement. Witness —How's that? Lawyer—You said before that he bent his gaze on you. Will you please explain how he could look you straight in the eye with a bent gaze?—Edinburgh Scotsman. Traveling Hint. If there are bottles to go in your bag or trunk and you fear the corks will come out, heat your sealing wax in a flame and run the melted part around the cork where it meets the glass. Thus it will be held in tightly and only a smart twist is necessary to remove it when you arrive at your destination. Great Britain has somewhat more than 800,000 motor vehicles.

Why guess about it— When you can know about it? Suppose a guide said—- “ This way there’s a safe and pleasant ,oad to your destination, with no risks or troubles on the way,” and — “That way there’s a road that a good many have stalled on and turned back from, but you may get through.” Which would you take? Postum is a thoroughly agreeable and satisfying meal-time drink, and you’re sure that it’s perfectly safe for health. Coffee contains drug qualities which disturb and harm the health of many. Postum or coffee? Which road? Why guess when you can know? Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling for 20 minutes.

New Expanding Bullet. A new form of expanding bullet for big-game hunters lias been designed. It is for rifles of .30-callbre. It supersedes the old soft-nosed bullets to which there were many objections. In a new bullet, the tip is made of tinplated gliding metal, and upon impact is forced back into the cover, expanding the point of the bullet, which is slotted in such a manner that it retains its pointed shape until this impact occurs. This is unlike the old soft-nosed bullets which, from their nature, were liable to be j deformed by handling before they were loaded into a rifle. The weight of the new bullet is ISO gr., which is generally considered about the best shooting. DON’T FEAR ASPIRIN IF IT IS GENUINE Look for Name “Bayer" on Tablets, Then You Need Never Worry. To get genuine “Bayer Tablets of Aspirin’* you must look for the safety “Bayer Cross” on each package and on each tablet. The “Bayer Cross” means true, worldfamous Aspirin, prescribed by physicians for over twenty-one years, and proved safe hy millions for Colds, Headache. Earache, Toothache, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Neuritis, and for Pain In general. Proper and safe directions are in each unbroken “Bayer” package. —Advertisement. Individualism. You can give other people your advice, but you can not give them your experience. You can give them your remedy, but you can by no means give them its effect upon yourself. Perhaps this Is just as well, since each Is to live his individual life and make his own best achievement out of It. The man with the ten talents could probably have taken care of those of his fellow-servants as well—then there would have been no loss, but also there would have been no use for the other servants. BOSCHEE'S SYRUP Allays Irritation, Soothes and Heals Throat and Lung Inflammation. The almost constant irritation of a cough keeps the delicate mucous membrane of the throat and lungs in a congested condition, which Boschee's Syrup gently and quickly soothes and heals. For this reason it has been a favorite household remedy for colds, coughs, bronchitis and especially for lung troubles in millions of homes all over the world for the last fifty-five years, enabling the patient to obtain a good night's rest, free from coughing, with easy expectoration in the morning. You can buy Boschee's Syrup wherever medicines are sold.—Advertisement. Resurrection Flower. In Egypt is a plant called the resurrection flower. It Is seen as a little ball hanging on a fragile stem, resembling In color and shape a shrunken poppyhead. Sleeping, but not dead, the flowers are aroused by being immersed In water, and then supported in an upright position. Soon the fibers began to stir. Slowly they unfold, until, with petals thrown back, it becomes a beautiful starry flower, not unlike an aster. Yolk Pigment. It is reported that a chemist abroad has succeeded in isolating the yellow pigment of the yolk of egg in a crystalfine state, and finds that It is closely related to the xanthophyl of leaves. This is regarded as an Important scientific discovery. To extract four grains of crude pigment the investigator employed the yolks of no less than G.OOO eggs. The crystallized pigment Is known as luteiu. Pleased With Begging Letters. When the old shah of Persia visited England in 1873, some 8,000 begging letters were posted to him during his sojourn. He was much pleased with them and felt highly honored to receive so many letters, each of which he treated as a compliment. He had all of them securely packed into a trunk and dispatched to Persia, where they were deposited in his museum. Transporting Power of Water. The transporting power of flowing water varies as the sixth power of the velocity. Thus if the velocity of the water is doubled, its transporting power is increased G 4 fold. This explains the effect of a river in flood in carrying all things before it.

VEGETABLES. Usually two or three vegetables with the meat eou.se is considered _ enough. With the variety from which to choose there is no limit. Squash, turnip, f' \ \ ■ carrot, cabbage, I BBi I cauliflower, eggplant, celery,, sweet and Irish potato, beets and vegetable oysters are some of the many to be found in almost any market. Hubbard squash is usually considered one of the dinner vegetables. • Sweet potato is a good substitute. Squash may be linked in the shell, i then scraped from the shell and mashed ’ with butter, salt and pepper for sea- . i soning. This is one of the vegetables ; which requires butter in large quanI titles for seasoning. The squash may lie peeled and steamed until tender, then dried out in the oven somewhat before mashing and seasoning. A most delicious way of serving sweet potatoes is to parboil them until partly done. Peel and slice, arrange the slices in a baking dish; spread with butter and sprinkle thickly with I sugar, bake until the sugar is well i melted and just before taking from the oven place a marshmallow on each slice; serve when the marshmallow is well browned. Beets are never better than when : baked until tender, peeled and ' chopped, adding plenty of butter and a dash of vinegar if liked. Some prefer olive oil instead of butter with a dash of lemon juice and cayenne and salt. Stuffed Eggplant.—Take two good sized eggplants and boll until tender. Remove from the fire and cool. Into a wooden bowl put two good-sized onions, peppers and a few sprigs of parsley, four cloves of garlic, four or five ripe tomatoes all chopped fine I Add two cupfuls of cracker crumbs, mix well. Scoop out the center of the eggplant, being careful not to break the outside. Put this into the bowl with the seasoning and salt and butter; fill the shells with the stuffing and i sprinkle buttered crumbs over the top with grated cheese. Brown in the oven. Serve from the shells. Pumpkin and mince pies are the ■ usual desserts. In most families there is a cherished recipe for mincemeat, which is never equaled by any other over eaten. Pumpkin, to be good, I should be well cooked and brown, i then the pie will have a rich flavor and color. Cauliflower is a dainty vegetable ! served in a drawn butter sauce, In a cream sauce or escalloped. Great Woman's Memory Faulty.

The following excerpt from Fabre's ‘The Story Book of the Field,” gives a little insight into the many beneficent uses of the commoner field animals ; “The bats deliver us from a host of enemies, and they are outlawed.
