An Armour Pupil Tells Girls What to Do

First, you neither need nor wish an
ice-cream freezer for this small amount.
but improvise one in this way. Take
from the kitchen any little tin can or
cup of the size you wish. If it has nc
lid improvise one-any little tin dish
or "patty" pan will do-and should il
not fit very closely press sheet OF
paper between the lid end cup and il
will be snug. Now this cup, when
filed with cream, is to be packed in a
large vessel-a saucepan, little bucket
or anything you wish-flled with
layers of coarse rock salt, not coarse
fine salt. Three layers of ice to
one of salt, the top layer to be of this
in the absence of ice mixture of snow
and salt will serve equally well. You
can break the ice by pressing hat pin
into it as the trained nurse does in the
sick-room. 1t should be as fine as the
salt, for the finer your ice is broker
the sooner the cream will freeze. The
ice in melting gives off heat, and many
degrees colder is the melted ice and
salt than the ice itself. And now fol-
the cream:
One-half cup of cream.
Two level tablespoonfuls sugar.
Two or three drops of flavoring e 4
tract-vanilla, chocolate, ETC., as yor
wish.
Mix the cream, sugur, and fayorinl
in the cup; stir until the sugar is dis
solved-thoroughly dissolved. no trac'
of it should be left; put the lid on
pack around the cup the ice and salt
to the top, and freeze it.
With your finger and thumb keel
turning the cup from side to side t.
churn the cream. As the mixtur,
freezes to the sides of the cup scraps
| it down with knife into the center
and if you like beat it a little with thu
knife, but the lid must be kept on a.
much as possible. Continue this unit
the cream is nearly frozen, and be care
full about not getting salt into it. Yo'
can replace the ice when it rnelts witt
more, unless an eagerness to eat !
overcomes you. Sherbets and water

How Fred Taylor. Member Of the Gal.
liant Heath N. ", v. l.. Finally Found
What He Has Sought siaes
the War Closed.

(Fron the AsAtabusa, Ohio. Beaeos.j
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought mp
near Elmira, N. Y, and from there en-
listed in the 1S9th regiment, N. T., W l.,
with which he went through the war and
saw much hard service. Owing to exposure
and hardships during the service, Mr.. Tay-
lor contracted chronic diarrhoea from which
1e has suffered now over 80 years, with abb
solutely no help from physicians. By
nature he was q wonderfully vigorous man.
Had he not been, his disease and the exper-
:ments Of the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudauum was the only thing which
Afforded him relief. He had terrible head
aches, his nerves were shattered, he could
1ot sleep an hour day on an average, and
ae was reduced to q skeleton. A year ago he
and his wife sought relief in change Of
climate and removed to Geneva, o., but the
change in health came not. Finally on the
recommendation of F. ]. Hoffner, the
leading druggist Of Geneva, who was cog
infant of similar cases which Pink Pills had
cured, Mr.. Taylor was persuaded to try
box. sAs q drowning man grasps at
straw SO took the pills" says Mr.. Taylor,
shut with no morehope Of rescue. But after
thirty years Of suffering and fruitless search
for relief at last found it in DR.. Williams

pills commenced to feel better and when
had taken the first box Twas in fact new
man, That was two months ago. Mr..
Taylor has since taken more of the pills and
his progress is steady and he has the utmost
confidence In them. He has regained full
control of his nerves and sleeps as well a.
In his youth. Color is coming back to his
parched veins and he Is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He is now able to do con-
siderable outdoor work.
Az he concluded narrating his sufferings,
experience and cure to q Beacon reporter,
Mrs. Taylor, who has been his faithful help
meet these many years, said she wished to
add her testimony in favor of Pink Pills.
ITO the pills alone is due the credit Of rails
ing Mr. Taylor from a helpless invalid to tho
man he Is to-day,n said Mrs. TAILOR. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor cannot fn0 words to
express the gratitude they feel or recon-
mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering hui
manity. Any inquiries addressed to them at
Geneva, O., regarding Mr.. Taylor's case
they will cheerfully answer, as they are
anxious that the whole world shall know
what Pink Pills have done for them and that
suffering humanity may be benefited thereby.

A NEW GAS.


An Important Discovery In the Field Of
Science.
One of the greatest surprises that the
world of science has experienced in
many years was the announcement at
q recent meeting of the British ASSOC
citation at Oxford of the discovery by
Lord Rayleigh and Prof. Ramsay of y
new gas in the atmosphere. In two
different ways the oxygen and nitro
gen were removed from the air, and
there remained previously unrecog-
nized gas, which possessed a spectrum
peculiar to itself, and which
was demonstrably neither nitrogen
nor oxygen. 1t constitutes nearly
one per cent of the atmosphere.
Lord Rayleigh, in announcing the
discovery, which was received with
sensational interest. spoke OF the sub
stance simply as "a new gas" but
others suggested that it might prove
to be an entirely new element, and
pointed to certain gap that it would
fill in the periodic table of chemical
elements.
The Importance of this discovery.
from scientific point of view, could
not easily be exaggerated. Chemists
have long suspected that the atlnos-
phere contained some substance which
escaped their analysis, but as long as
it remained unrecognized it was, of
course, impossible to say what proper
ties or effects it might have.
The new gas is intimately related to
nitrogen, and when the important
part which that gas plays in the
phenomena of life is taken into ac-
count, it is evident that highly in
teresting field for investigation has
been opened up by this discovery
