HOW TO INVEST

These Arc Suggestions Of Value to
ANY Reader at the Present Time
"If you are going to make an investment
you look carefully and learn the value of
the thing in which you are about to invest.
Is this not so?"
''If you are run down, sickly, weak, suf-
fering from severe cold, rheum atism, or
other complaint, you feel that you must in
vest in something to restore you to health
and happiness"
"Can you not see that such an invest
ment is more important than any other,
and can you not see that securing the best,
most reliable, and that which has the
highest standing and best endorsements is
always the best Investment"
"There has never been remedy before
the world which for the cure of the diseases
of this season, female weaknesses, rheu-
matism, kidney and liver troubles, and
even Bright's disease itself, has ever been
equal to that greatest of all known reme-
dies, Warmers Safe Cure. 1t has accom-
plished more than any other known prepa-
ration, and occupies a standing in medical
science wholly by itself and above any Or
dinary remedy"
"This great preparation has been en-
dorsed by the leading medical men of the
various countries OF Europe, America,
Australia, and even India. 1t is beyond
question the most popular of modern
remedies, and it deserves its popularity

The above simple and direct words ara
laid before you in order that you NAV avail
yourself of the suggestions they may con-
tain, if you SO desire.

How Potatoes May Be spoiIe:

In bulletin issued by Professor Snyder
of the Minnesota State Agricultural col
lege he makes point of interest to the
housewife. He shows that where potatoes
are peeled and started boiling in cold water
albumen, and where they are not peeled
and started in hot water this loss is re-
duced to 2 per cent. A bushel of potatoes,
weighing sixty pounds. contains about two
pounds of total nitrogenous compounds.
When improperly cooked one-half of
pound is lost, containing six-tenths OF a
bound of the most valuable proteids. 1t
Innuires all of the protein from nearly two
pounds of round beefsteak to replace the
loss Of protein from improperly boiling a
busbei of potatoes.
