Oatmeal drink is one of the best

Oatmeal drink is one of the best
receipts printed for gratuiteus
distribution by the National
Health Society. Put three table
spoonfuls of coarse oatmeal into
three quarts of cold water and
boil it for an hour; while hot
sweeten to taste with brown su-
gar. Most people prefer it s9rain-
ed. This is very good mixed with
cocoa, about half of each as a hot
drink, or it can be favored with
cloves or lemon peel boiled in it.
Rice or Barley drink can be made
in the same way, using broken
rice or barley instead of oatmeal.
They are excellent drinks for the
harvest field and very cheap.

the age of A years, 8 months and
3 days.

in Fairfield Co., o. In early in

Of age she was confirmed in the Ev.
Lutheran church, thereby becom-
ing a full member of said church.
In 1881, Feb. 10th, the deceased
was joined in hoy wedlock with
MIR. Soloman Confer. This short
union proved to bea happy one,
and the Lord blessed it with one
child, boy, who is surviving his
mother.
In general Mrs. Confer enjoyed
the great blessing of good health
and made good use Of the same by
a cheerful and jealous perform
ance of her duties as a Christian
wife and mother. About a year
ago her health began to fail and
traces of consu mptipn became Wis
ib'e. In spite of tender care and
medical skill this aillment grew
daily worse. She bore her suffer
ings with truly Christian reslgna-
ton and patience, and was fully
prepared to meet her Lord and
Savior. She calmly and peacefully
fell asleep. as we have good reasons
to hope in Jesus who translated suf
fering child from this world of
sorrow into His blissful realms in
heaven. Her funeral took place
Mon day afternoon, June 30th,
and was conducted by the Rev. l..
+. MittIer. Her remains were laid |
