But some time yOu WW ka0W!
Look backward, then, into the years,
And see me here tonight

And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss Of long ago

it has frothy, snowy taste; the

in slow oven. Large cakes should
be baked slowly at first, and small

remains that way, you have either
used too much flour or the oven has
been too hot at first. A heavy

An Erect EiCmre.

All women are anxious not to grow
old in personal appearance. Many
of them use tonics and powders and
skin foods, remedies for fading hair
and dental aid for teeth, but they
forget their figuers. Unless wO-
man retains an erect figure she loses
forever all chance of retaining a
youthful appearance, and bids fare

Style outlives beauty. If the should

To cleanse a white face veil dip it
up and down in lukewarm water to
which a little ammonia has been
added. Then rinse in clear tepid
water and spread it upon mirror or
window pane. Patience and care
must be exercised if the edges are
scalloped, so that each point will
keep its original form. The best
method is to hold the scalloped edge
of the veil in the hands during the
washing. Then the scallops will not
get so badly out of shape.

Thrown
From a Horse

1t matters not from what cause the
blood becomes poisoned, it is impossi-
bic for the doctors to effect d cure.
This class of disease has puzzled the
science of medicine for ages, and the
same treatment that was employed
centuries ago is now prescribed. Pot
ash and mercury are the component
parts of every doctors prescription
for diseases of the blood.
Many of the so-called blood puri-
fiers are based on potash and mercury.
In fact, S. S. S. (Swift's Specific) is
the only blood remedy that is guar
anteed purely vegetable, and is the
only one that contains no harmful
ingredients. S. S. s. is the only blood
remedy that cures real blood diseases,
obstinate cases that physicians and
other remedies have failed to cure.
1t never fails to cure a blood disease
no matter how deep-seated the case.

Bits of Information From Madam Ron er.
Desserts should be attractive, but
most simple in material and con-
structiOn-a finishing, not even sug-
costing digestion; a dainty and deli
cate omelet souffle, little dish of
whipped cream or a parfait. A
dessert, like the trimming of a gown,
should be dainty and in keeping, or
the whole dinner is certain to be a
failure.
Ice creams, when simply made,
are not injurious if eaten slowly. If
eaten rapidly they chill the stomach,
and, preventing the digestion of the
dinner, are apt to cause discomfort.
The stomach will, however, recover
itself in a short time, which it will
not do if a heavy dessert be eaten.
Ice Cream of Many Sorts.-When
making ice cream do not use gela-
tine, arrOwrOOt or other thickening
substances. Good, pure cream, ripe
fruit, or the best canned fruit in
winter, and graduated sugar, make
a perfect ice cream. Good ice cream
cannot be made without a good

RIOTERS REPRIMANDED.
Acting President of the Austrian
Reichsrath Denounced the
Recent Tumult.

Vienna, Nov. Son the resumption of
business in the reichsrath today Herr
Abrahamoviczs. the acting president,
strongly denounced the riotous proceed
ings which have marked the sessions of
the house for some time past and eX-
pressed the hope that the proceedings
would be of more decent nature in the
future.
The representatives of the German
peoples party, the German progressive
party and the social democratic party
protested against the declaration made
by the minister of finance on Saturday
at n meeting of the budget committee in
which he pronounced grave warming
in the danger of a suspension of the con-
stitution unless the provisional compro-
mise bill is adopted. The minister, after
explaining that the compromise would
already have been finally concluded hut
for the existing differences respecting the
proportionate financial contributions of
the two countries. said that he would
deeply deplore the result of the present
political circumstances and compel the
government to enforce compromise by
other than parliamentary means, hut he
explained there were circumstances which
were materially stronger than all forms.
After the representatives of these par
ties mentioned had protested against this
declaration, they strongly denounced the
threatened suspension of the constitution.
The speakers were vigorously applauded.
After a six hours speech by Herr
Funke the house adjourned until Wednes-
day next.
