A drink that is truly refreshing for
one suffering from sore throat or cold Is
made by pouring Il quart OF boiling
water over a carefully washed handful
of Irish moss. Let it stand until the
water is cool, then strain through a
muslin bag; add sugar and lemon juice,
with a few thin slices of lemon, until it
Is about like mild lemonade; little
cinnamon is considered an addition by
some people.

Anv one who doubts as to the best

this matter easy and satisfactory.

10 fry chickens a Ia Baltimore. The
ideal chicken for this dish is young and
tender, and unless it is so really these
directions are vain Put the frying pan,
and it should be deep one, on the stove
with large tablespoonful of lard and
one of butter. after cutting the chicken
up in the usual way When the fat is
hot lay chicken in, sprinkle pepper
and salt and -four over it; the flour

and let the chicken cook slowly but
steadily; when one side Is a delicate
brown turn the chicken and sprinkle
salt, pepper, and flourOver. this side also;
if the fat is absorbed add enough to
keep the chicken from burning. Half
to three-quarters of an hour is long en-
ough to cook the chiclen Make a rich
gravy in the pan; brown it well. If it
is your pleasure to add peas or mush-

1t is only when a woman is morbid
from ill-health or Over-work that the
dust which accumulates on the table or
along the edges of the carpet, or in the
corners of the stairs, lies like burden
upon her; hopeless burden, for it is,
as she knows, in stronger and brighter
moments, a simple matter not requiring
much time or muscle to remove. If she
feels like this for days together she
should summon resolution enough to
walk out of the house and look at the out
side world. She need not 90 far to see
2 great deal that will give relief to her
mind. l believe that few people realize
how intensely a sensitive woman suffers
from this condition of body and mind,
and it is Just as real as if it were some ap-
parent illness which would render work
impossible. But she should herself con-
slider the remedy, since perhaps, she
alone knows of the disease, and blame
no one for not appreciating just how she
feels. For such women to leave home
for few days, and have entire relief
from its cares, is often the best and most
complete eure.-New York Evening
Post.
