thus inform yourself as well as the

Baked Ham.

For a change in methods of cooking ham
try baked one. An exchange says: 1t is
frequently asked why some hams taste so
much better than others. This would not
be the case if they were baked, and not
boiled until all the sweetness was extracted,
which is generally done in the majority of
cases where they are found tasteIess and dis.
colored. OF course great deal depends
upon the quality of the ham, and none but
the best sugar cured should be selected.
Here is good rule for their treatment
Make stiff paste of -four and water with
which completely cover the ham. Then
place it in bake pan containing a little
water with which it must be occasionally
basted. 1t will require about four or five
hours to bake ham of medium size in q
moderate oven. The cook must of course
use her judgment by testing it occasionally
with fork. At the expiration of that time
remove the ham, and the entire top can be
peeled off like q sheet of leather, leaving
only the fat exposed, which must be well
covered with bread crumbs. Return to the
oven long enough to brown. then set aside
until cold before using as it is twice as easy
to cat in tempting thin slices, besides last
ing as long again Bear in mind one thing
never cut ham against the grain; always
begin in the center and you will do well.

Business Methods.
ELIZABETH.

1t seems almost lamentabIe that orr
women do not pay closer attention to bust
ness methods in the Carrying on of their
LIES work. II they could be prevailed upon
TO take few lessons from the husband and
work on systematic plan they would find
there would be a surplus of time at their
command.
Even in the matter of letter writing the
system may be brought into use. When
you write to anyone for inform alton, which
is favor to you and of no benefit to him,
you can reasonably do no less than enclose
stamps enough to cover actual cost of sta
tionery and mailing reply to you. A couple
of stamps seems small thing to you but to
him who has to supply them for hundreds
of correspondents it means many dollars of
expense in the course of a wear. Don't
forget this fact, and if you don't hear from
those you write to remember that you were
thoughtless enough to omit the enclosure of
couple of postage stamps in your letter.
And so it is in almost every phase eff life
everything must be systematized and
planned, followed as closely as possible.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining Of the Eus
tachain Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rambling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Washing Prints and Ginghams.

The following letter from reader may be
helpful to our correspondent who is in
search of new methods for washing clothes.
We wish our readers would let their plans
be known through this department and in
this way disseminate intorma alton that will
be of interest to those of our women who are
not familiar with Florida and its easy house
keeping facilities. The letter says:
If you doubt the coors of piece of cotton
fabric, wash bit of the goods first, i is but
little trouble and is good test.
In order to have dress look well as long
as it wears, one should use great care in
washing and drying it, especially the first
time. Soak the garment in strong salt and
water for half an hour to ''set" the cOlOrs,
then wiring out and wash in new suds,
that which is left from white clothes is unfit
for nice prints and ginghams. Make suds
of n cake of Ivory soap and two pailfuls of
water; ponr quart of boiling water over
the shaved soap, stir until dissolved, then
add the remainder of the water, which
should be luke warm. Wash as quickly as
possible, wiring and rinse in clear water,

Canning Fruit.

AS the canning season has not yet passed
we offer the following suggestions to those
of our readers who are new at the business
of canning.
Success in canning fruit according to the
American Vinegar Maker depends upon:
Using reliable make of glass jars and
ssting the alright quality of each by pour
ing little water into it. adjusting the rub
Der and cover and standing it upside down.
Thoroughly cleansing all jars that have
been used, by washing them first in warm
water, then filling full OF scalding hot water
to which borax, ammonia or washing soda
have been added and allowing them TO
stand at least TWO hours before rinsing.
Reiec ing all old rubber bands that are
stretched out, discoIored or in the least
hardened.
Using firm, large fruit of suitable varieties
and having it under rather than over-ripe :;
rejecting all that is crushed, over-ripe,
stunted or knotty and carefully preparing
the rest. Washing currants on the stems
and strawberries before they are hulIed.
Washing all small fruits quickly and

drain allowing the pits of cherries and
peaches and the seeds of pears to remain in
the fruit; or if this is Objectionable, distrib-
ute five or six peach pits through each quart
jar and put small white net or thin
muslin bag containing a handful of cherry
pits or pear see0s in each similar sized Jar.
Pareing peaches with thin bIaded, sharp
knife instead of scalding them in lye; not
removing the skins of plums, but piercing
each one two or three times with a fork to
prevent the skins from breaking badly
while cooking, using only fine favored
sugar either granulated or loaf, and only
enough to impart pleasant. palatabe taste.
Cooking the fruit in the jars SO that it
is OF broken by handling, or its flavor lost
in escaping steam. To do this, place the
fruit in jars as fast as 1t is prepared, cover
with syrup to the neck of the ar, then put
on the cover, but not the rubber band. Set
boiler or other suitable vessel on the back
of the furnace Or heating apparatus, place
the jars of frdit inside, but not close enough
to touch, fill the vessel with hot water until
it reaches to within an inch of the top of the
Jars, draw it to the front of the range, cover
closely, and bring to boil. Continue boil

Straining jelly.

If our readers will try straining their fruit
juices for jelly or beverages through cotton
batting they wilt find it helpful. 1t is
claimed that the cotton holds all the sedi-
ment which is so hard to get in straining
through cloth of any kind or flannel.
Stretch the cotton across your bucket, bowl
or whatever you may be straining it in and
let it slowly drip.

A Soft Corn,

The following may. at first, seem sim
pc, says an old physician. but the test
rests with the cure. Moisture is the life of
corn, soft or hard. Have the patient battle
the foot with warm water and dry well.
Then fill the space between the toes affected
with pulyerz I'd chalk and tie piece of
linen bandage around the toes. Change
every second day, and by the eighth or
tenth day, you will be more than surprised
at the results.

possible iron them upon the wrong side as
it gives new look to old and faded goods.
In unlined dresses this is easily done, es-
pecialIy since the sleeves are so large.
Bishop and shirt sleeves can be fl nished at
the wrist with "run" for elastic, which
may be taken out when washed, thus the
iron can be used inside the sleeve, begin
ning at the top and finishing at the wrist
to avoid wrinkling. Blue cottons are hard
est to keep their color.
Sugar of lead is excellent for setting the
blue, especially in new fabric. Get cents
worth at the druggists. he will tell you the
quantity to use to pail of water.

THE COMING UNITY OF THE
SPIRIT.

Dear UniUersdlist The article,
THE Coming Unity of the Spirit" in
The UNIvERsALIsT of May Is, touches
a responsive chord with me and l
take pleasure in giving an illustra-
ton of the point you convey. The
last six months the Presbyterian pull
pit here has been filed on exchange
with Presbyterian clergyman from
Riverside, CAL, and series of help
full, spiritual, broad, and sympathetic
messages of love been given the peo-
pie here that have quickened their
spiritual life, touching the real spirit
ual needs of the people in mastery
way. The first discourse was "Love's
Response" bringing the point that in
life all things respond to what is
given. If love, the response is love,
if anger, then angry response is Civ
en-, and man grows to be like the
thing he loves. If he loves money
and business method more than
aught else, he becomes cold and
hard, and they finally rule him, but
whoever heard of anything being
wrong with the man who loved Christ
and chose to follow him in the ideal
life of selfdenying love? He also
preached the grand transforming
power of Christian love and sympa-
thy as being the lever to move the
sinner to forsake the ways of error,
darkness and sin, for the brighter
and better regions of receptivity to
the friendship and companionship
of Jesus.
The applied Christianity of these
modern times,-or Christ in the life,
not afar off, but the humanity of
Christ, thus bringing his presence
and spirit near, and that Christ in the
life is to follow him, do as he did,
and SO live the ideal life, to bear the
cross as he bore it, and follow him in
meekness and unselfish self-deny-
ing effort for others.
That is the fine flavor and essence
of Universalism in its purity and

spirituality, only that we can preach
in bold doctrine the faith that doubts
not the love of the Father of spirits,
that will not only hardly be satisfied
to leave any of his children out from
the final home-gathering, but will not
leave any soul unblessed.
When the advanced liberal ortho-
doxy of today breaches applied
Christianity in such pure and spirit
ual form, does it not appeal to Uni
versalists to meet such thought on
the same lofty level,-to preach our
doctrine of the Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhood of Man, and the
necessity of good works, and Jesus
as the great ideal example, our
Saviour and Redeemer from all that
is gross and lowering' Then can we
touch hands and forces with the lib
eral orthodoxy of today and SO help
to form the Christian Unity of the
twentieth century; then, as your arti-
Gle says in its closing words, "shall
we be one as never before, realizing
the new brotherhood of sentiment,
which is assuredly coming to bless
the world" NJ. A. G.

THE SIN OF WORRYING.

This is one of the commonest of sins.
1t also is one of the most reprehensible.
Many to whom gross temptations pre-
sent no attractions yield to this one al
most without a struggle. 1t is wholly
unreasonable, and, when allowed to be-
come habit, it is full of torment. 1t
spoils ones own peace and renders one
source of continual distress and annoy
ance to others.
Worrying is fretting because matters
have gone wrong or are supposed to be
destined to go wrong. If the former be
true, worrying does no good, even when
we are conscious of having been in fault.
Go to work bravely and remedy what is
amiss, so far as possible, and what can
not be remedied bear with Christian pa
thence and courage. II the latter be
true. do not assume that the threatening
evil must befall, but do your best to pre-
vent or lessen it, and remember that God
allows evil as we'll as good to happen, that
seeming evil often results in blessi ng
and that, should the worst come, proba
bly, in time you will find reason to thank
God for it.
No one has any right to throw the
doubt upon the Divine wisdom and good
ness which worrying involves. No one
may rightly depress and discourage
others thus. Worrying is distressing
God. 1t is refusing to believe that his
promises are true and that his power is
invincible. 1t is peculiarly dangerous
and disheartening because it finds such
field in the realm of little things. 1t
promotes peevishness, suspicion and
needless fault-finding. 1t wsrps ones
sense of moral proportion, making light
of serious things and magnitying MOLE
hills into mountains.
Cheerfulness is as truly a Christian
duty as truthfulness. and worrying I'M
dermines both. Let us trust in God and
fear not. Cultivate hopefulness, and the
worries of life will take on less formi-
dable aspect or will vanish altogether

WOMEN'S INFLUENCE FOR
PURITY.
VINToN, Iowa.

Frances E. Willard, in her address be-
fore the British Womens Temperance
Association in London, June l, said:
I'VE wish to bring the influence of
women to bear upon the books read by
children and young people. and the
pictures. statuary and dramatic repre-
sensations that are placed before them,
80 that temptations shall be diminished
and incentives to pure living increased
The standard of the home is the best and
most reasonable, since the largest part
of the average life is spent at home,
and whatever tends to bring to its
bright sanctuary the faint of unclean
thought or action strikes blow at the
very heart of the peoples life. The
motto of those who work along these
lines is. 1--WE come not to destroy, but to
fulfil; not to break down. but to build
up" We recognize the beauty and
charm of the intellectual and artistic
life. Our principle is set forth in that
familiar declaration of John Wesley:
I'VE do not propose to let the devil have
all the good tunes" neither do we pro-
pose to let him have the attractive
books, amusements and picture gal
leries. for these are all adjuncts of
beautiful home life, and must be for the
greatest numbers good, and guarded
for their use and pleasure, rather than
disregarded in order that the publisher,
picture dealer and theatrical manager
may make larger profits. THESE men
have no patent on the beauty and charm
of genius and the world; the home is the
first claimant, and the home makers
propose, by organized and well-con-
Quoted work to restore to their children
and young people all these pleasant gar
dens of delight with the serpent driven
out.
