Those who believe chronic diarrhoea
to be incurable should read what Mr.. p.
E. Grisham, of Gaars Mills, La, has to
say on the subject, viz: II have been
a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever
since the war and have tried all kinds OF
medicines for it. At last I found a
remedy that effected cure and that
was Chamberlain's Collie Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy" This medicine can
always be depended upon for collie

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him
to be in most miserable condition. 1t
was undoubtedly bad case of Ia grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make first trial of the
medicine. To say that 1t was satisfactory
in it's results, is putting it very mildly,
indeed. It acted like magic and the
result was speedy aud permanent cure.
We have DO hesitancy in recommending
this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone
afflicted with a cough or cold in any
form-The Banner of Liberty, Liberty

HINTS ON CANNING.

Mrs. ROrer Gives Timely Directions
for Putting Up Fruft.
In the Ladies Home Journal Mrs. s.
T. Rorer writes on Canning and Pre-
serving" At the outset of her lesson
she emphasizes the value of securing
perfectly sound and fresh fruits, and
the necessity of getting the cans and
canning appurtenances in readiness in
advance. '"To prevent breaking when
filling the jars" Mrs. Roreradvises that
they be slipped ''sidewise into kettle
of hot water, rolling them so that every
part may be quickly and uniformly
heated. Fold a damp towel, place it in
the bottom of a pudding pan, then near
the preserving kettle; stand jar on
the towel, and if the fruit is small ad-
just the funnel; fill quickly to over
flowing. Run a heated silver knife
around the inside of the jar, to break
amy air bubbles that may have been
caught with the fruit, and adjust the
rubber, then lift the lid from the hot
water and place it at once. If large
fruit fill with a wooden spoon, arrang-
ing the fruit so that the weight of one
piece will not destroy the shape OF
another. Fill to overhowing with the
liquid, water or sirup, and fasten tight
ly. After sealing stand the jars out of
a draft over night. The glass by that
time will have contracted, and the lids
will, in consequence, be loose. Wipe
each jar carefully and give the top an
extra turn. Put away in q cool, not
cold, dark closet. At the end of a week
examine each jar carefully, without
shaking or disturbing more than neces-
sary. If you find the lids slightly
indented, the contents free from air
bubbles or froth, and the liquid settled,
you may rest assured they will keep
If you do not find it so, open. the jars to
prevent bursting. Reheat the fruit, be-
ing careful to bring it to a boiling point,
and ra-can ;,

PRETTY TABLE LAMP.
How to Obtain a Useful and orAa-
mental Piece of Art.


mental Piece of Art.
The illustra ton shows the design for
a table lamp that can be made by most
any woman who is handy with tools.
The materials which will be required
to make it are seemingly the least
worthy, and an old box, some burlaps or
packed in, a few thin sheets of stove
pipe iron and some nails and paint.
In the first place, obtain a box at a
grocery store such as canned goods are
packed in, carefully break it apart,
taking care not to split any of the thin
boards. OF these boards make box
eight inches square and twelve inches
high; the wood used for the top and
bottom should be thicker than that of
which the sides are made, and in the
top cut a round hole. large enough to
admit a metal lamp fount. A rim
around the top edge of the fount will.
if the hole is made the right size, pre-
vent it from falling into the box.
All over the top and sides of the
box fasten ordinary burlaps with
liquid glue, and when it is thoroughly
dry give the bagging few successive
coats of light olive reen paint. Sand
paper the burlaps before applying the
last coat, SO an even and smooth sur
face may be obtained.
Bind the edges of the box with strips
of sheet iron, allowing about three
quarters of an inch of metal to show on
a side. Fasten the iron on with large
oval-headed brass upholsterers' tacks,
driven at equal distances apart.
On a sheet of paper draw the pat
tern shown on one side of the box and
cut pieces from the thin iron to work
out the pattern on each side. Tack
these pieces on with good-sized oval
headed iron carpet tacks and then give
all the metal work a coat or two of
ivory black paint, thinned with japan
drefer.

clawfeet and screw one fast under each
