great exception was made to the usual
routine OF tea, bread and butter and sugar
cakes. A very nice pudding Of bread and
jelly and currants was served up and great

as a cabinet pudding the description
makes certain, and to this da y Martha Wash

tables at feast. A humber edition graces
the everyday board.

its beginning from a New Jersey source, aud

the President has informal callers Any

Ing around them is the pleasant sense of
good gingerbread. White House ginger
bread is known to every Senator and
statesman that has been in Washington
the last four years.
This gin gerbread is made OF butter

butter, of nutmeg and cinnamon, and
when 1t Is baked it is deep brown with
a sticky top. But the White House chef
knows a thing or two about gingerbreads.
Five minutes before it is done the pan is
drawn 10 the front OF the oven, and oil
over the top is laid decoration OF nuts

nuts are opened and halved and laid over
the top. Later the butternuts come. AL

ideal gingerbread, and is eaten for the
nuts, after you get tired of the ginger
bread.

Great Oaks from Little Aoorps Grown

Is line from the trlte old verse we used
to recite in our school boy days. 1t has IA
forcible application to those small all
ments which we are apt TO disregard UNI
til they reach formidable proportions. A
fit of indigestion, slight" attack of
constipation, it is assumed, will soon pass
off but is very apt to get worse, and in
the meantime is neglected until the all
ment becomes chronic, and then, if not
entirely eradicated. is constant annoy
ance and menace of worse consequences,
for diseases, recolleat, beget one another.
How much wiser to resort to a course of
Hostetter's Stomach Btters at the outset
of the malady than to temporize with it
at the start or treat it with violent reme-
dies in its maturity. Be on time with dis
ease, or it may floor you. Malarious,
rheumatic and kidney complaints, dys-
pepsa, constipation, bllousnes and ner-
vousness are all disorders of rapid growth.
