How to Cook a Husband.

The first thing to be done is to catch
him (and don't you forget it). Many
a good husband is spoiled in cooking
Some women keep them in hot water
While others freeze them with coniu-
gu GOODNESS; some smother them with
contention, and still some keep them
l 1 pickle all their lives. These wo-
mea serve them with tongue sauce.
Now it is not to be supposed that
husbands will be tender and good if
treated this way bnt they are on the
contrary very delicious when treated
as follows; Get large jar called the
jar of carefullness, which all good
housewives have on hand place your
husband in it and place him near the
ire OF conJugal love; let the fire be
pretty hot, especially let it be clear
lbove all let the heat be constant:
'over him over with the spice of pleas
sntry, and if you add kisses and other
objections, let them be accompanied
With sufficient portion of secrecy,
1lxed with prudence and moderation.

There is nothing more charming
and attractive in beautiful nature s do
main, then thoroughly healthy, per-
feotly formed woman bright-eyed,
rosy, laughing, joyous, happy faced
girl, one who finds keen pleasure in
m rely living. There is absolutely
nothing charming in illness. An inva-
lid wife or mother is a constant object
of sympathy in an otherwise contented
household. Happy the home whose
folks enjoy perfect health. In nv
practice l have always recommended
slckley women to use Browns Iron
Bltters. In cases of irregularities, dvs-
pepsia, indigestion heartburn, nausea,
sour stomache, nervousness and ex-
haustive debility, I find it exceeds all
other remedies as true medicinal
tonic. 1t never fails to gently sooth,
refresh and strengthen the general
system, and especially those parts
made week by continued distress and
what gives me tho best satisfaction is
that the cures, although in some in
stances gradual, area lways permenont.
In my practice have neuer known it
