"But u may save you"
She went out and walked about for
an hour, but pawnbrolters and second

holiday with the rest OF the world.
She finally entered n drug store, and
asked of the urbane proprietor, who
came forward rubbing his hands, to
take the shawl and fill the prescrip-

as she wended her way homewards she

the value to health or the pure liquid

It's excellence is due to its presenting

and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

Lamentations Over the t4and.

Not since the lamentations heard in Ra-
mah-"Rachel mourning for her children
and would not be comforted, because they
were not''-haS there been such lamenta-
lions over the land. Not for our children,
but our flowers and vegetables. Words
could not express the sorrow felt when we
locked forth on Monday morning and saw
the dropping rose bushes and the PROSTATE
vegetables. 1t reminded one of the desola-
ton of q battlefield after a terrific fight.
For 10, the mighty We're indeed fallen.
There was no other topic of conversation
on the streets, in the parlor and on the
street cars; all mourning. There was no
comparing of notes-as women usually do
for there was but one statement from all.
"FverVthing killed" Some We're a little
more fortunate than others inasmuch as
they had not attempted aerly gardening,
but there were very few who had not been
tempted by the bright sunny days to put
out roses and geraniums, etc, and alas,
all are gone. When we contemplate the
great loss all over the country, and the
destruction of the fruit crop, it all seems
dreadful, and yet all OF that fades away be-
fore the great sorrow for our beautiful
Marechal Neil roses, so covered With buds,
some Just bursting enough to show the gold
beneath the green; and now to see them
drooping as if stricken with some great
grief is there any wonder that We mourn
ana cannot be comforted? And the fear is
that the worst is not yet known. II only
our rose bushes revive we may indeed be
grateful but many Of them look as II they
were totally destroyed. Such, however, are
the ups and downs of life; and II we only
learn to bear them philoSophicaly, 1t is
all that we can do

Once in Il While.

Once in a while the sun shines out
And the arching skies are perfect blue,
Once in a while mid clouds Of doubt
Faiths faireSt stars come peeping through
Our paths lead down by the meadows fair
Where the sweetest blossoms nod and
smile
And we lay aside cross of care,
Once in a while.
Once in a while within our own
We feel the hand of SteadfaSt rr1eno;
Once in a while we hear tone
or love with the hearts own voice to
blend
And the dearest of all our dreams come
true.
And on life's way is a golden mile;
Each thirsting flower is kissed with dew,
Once in while.
Once in a while in the desert sand
We find a spot of the fairest green;
Once in a while from where we stand
The hills of Paradise are seen.
And perfect joy in our hearts we hold
A joy that the world cannot deiile;
We trade earth'S dross for the purest gold
Once in a while.

Some Practical Suggestions.

Variety is said to be the spice of life, and
It holds true in many things-in none more
than in the domestic economy OF home
life I refer especially to our tables Some
people sit down day afteI day to the same
bill of fare, and though they may weary
of It, they never seem to take the trouble
TO make a change. You often hear people
say that anything from home tastes so
5 good-even though it may be no better
than we have ourselves; yet it is the va
rietv that fiavors the article. y good house
keeper will that there is a change on
I her table every day. She will not have the
same kind of bread every day, or she VIII
4 vary her vegetables, or in some way make
q change.
q | once visited a family who were good
4livers They had a good cook, and COM
#manded Il fine market; and yet there was
#seldom any change in their diet. USED TO
zthink if only they would change the posi-
@tions of the dishes, how thankful | would
#be but the dish of rice had its place-as
Kdid the Irish and sweet potatoes, and eX-
@rept that now and then there was change
ssin the meats, the same things were served
s6ay after day-each meal in the same way
4 soon found out that the lady of the house
slefL everything to the cook. and that was
stbe secret OF the sameness. 1t requires
some thought and study, but 1T adds great
IL to a famiys comfort and happiness. Try
q and see how happy you Will make the
husband and children.

b. little incident that occurred in my own
household My cook came to me and said:
I'll wish you would let me make Sally

biscuts' / gave my consent with much
delight, and commended her for her
tfoughtfulness. 1t was treat to see when
The beautiful Sally Lunn made its appear
nice on the table that night, with what
genuine pleasure it was greeted There may
be some who would like to have the recipe
Tor this very delightful bread, and L will
dive it: For small family, one
tablespoonful of butter, same of sugar and
one tablespoonful Of good yeast. Beat the
yolk, sugar and butter together and add the
white ,of the egg after it has been well
heat ten. Dissolve the yeast in luke-warm
water and add all to flour with a little
salt; mix well. Knc-e well and soft as
you can knead dough; then put TO rise.
Make about 10 o'clock in the morning, keep
in "a warm place and at o'clock in the
afternoon it will be ready to work out and
nut in the pan you going to bake in
to rise again. just before baking have an
egg well-beaten Wok and white togetheD
and with a soft rag paint all over. Try
this and you will find it a pleasant change
with other breads. And so it is with other
dfsheS. Learn TO cook things differently;
there are SO many ways to alter and cook
the same material that one is surprised
sometimes at the variety that can be made
when a little trouble is taken to do So it
certa inly adds to the health and happiness
Of the family.
