ACID BURNS CURED By MAGsRSfA.-Last year
two French students were much burned

HAGGrs.-yt's an American Idea to turn up
your noses at haggis. The sleeps stomach
which enters into the making OF the dish has
really not more TO do with haggts than the
skin 10 the sausage. Take Sleeps stomach

GERMAN YEAST BREAD.-When fresh German
or Compres sed yeast can be obtained, very
nice light bread can be made and baked In
about three hours time. For two large loaves
or bread use three pounds Of -four, one quart OF
iukeWarm water. one tablespoonful OF salt
and two ounces of yeast; dissolve the yeast In
Ihe water; add to IL enough OF the flour to make
batter thick enough TO hold the drops from
the stirring spoon when they are shaken from
lis surface, and set this bitter or sponge near
the stove 10 rise; IL must be placed where the
hand can be laid without burning, and must
De covered with folded towel. When 1t is
ught and foamiDg mix In the rest Of the -four
and salt and knead tt for five minutes, using
enough more tlour to keep it from sticking to
the hands or 10 the bread board upon which IL
Is kneaded; form 1t into loaEes, place them In
separate pans near the stove, and let them
grow double In size; then prick them with a
10TH, and bake them for an hour In a moderate
oven, taking care that they do not burn. II

STARTING EARLY MISUNDERSTANDING
foxes answer nearly all the purposes of hot
ped Tor garden In which the number OF
plants reIuii ed Is small A kitchen window Is
preferable 10 any other, as the air IS usually
ElOre moist. Sow seeds in window boxes, and
when the plants are up, turn the boxes every
DAY. TO bring the opposite side TO the light and
the seedlings get two or three rough leaves,

s'pricked cut" or planted In other similar
boxes, setting them an inch or more apart, ac-
corning TO kid The young plants may grow
In these until time TO put them In the open
ground. Set the box outdoors In the middle
OF every mild dag, or open the windows, In Or

SMOKERS CATARRH.-Habitual smokers are
VIGOROUSLY liable to colds 10 the head, and
bronchitis and other congeStive affections OF
the air-passageS- on this subject Dr. J. F.
kumb0id says: The congestion occasioned by
fhe action or tobacco on the mucous membrane
OF the superior portion OF the respiratory tract
resembles in many respects the con geStion re-
SuttlBg from The effects OF cold and, like the
enects Oh . cold, some OF It's effects are transit
Iory and some are permanent. The local effect
or TOBACCO on the mucous membrane of the
nose, throat and ears Is as predISpo8ng to Ca
tarIhsi diseases as In efficient and insufficient
ciothlng In The case OF females. The local ef-
1ect OF tobacco on the mucous membrane OF
TIE superior portion OF the respiratory tract
causes more permanent relaxation and con-
Resuon than any known agent. Astobacco de-
presses the system while IL is producing its
measurable sensation, and as 1t prepares the
mucous mtmorane-by causing a more per-
manent relaxation and congestion than any
Known agent-to take on catarrhal inffamma-
lion from even slight exposure to cold IL
should require no farther evidence to show
that It's Use ought TO be discontinued by every
catarrhal paIient-BritiSh Medical Journal.
