and the contraction of credits TO farmers, who,

OF the crops and OF paying prices FOR them. As
a result of tho agricultural depression in the

HOMEMADE PREPARATIONS
FOR COUGHS AND COLDS

The present unreasonable, damp
weather, fruitful in colds, brings an
inevitable demand for cough candy
and troches. Nearly all the excellent
cough candies and troches of com.
merce have once been made 10y family
recipes. 1t was formerly the practice
of many mothers To prepare a stock OF
these candies at the begging of each
winter. Shining amber-tintcd lozenwes
of whorehound made ut home or white
candies Of Iceland moss svothud the
weary hours of childlc en- who were shut
indoors with colds. Where one has
abundance of time it certainly paws to
prepare these candies at home, for only
a few confcctioners make them as they
were prepared in the last generation.
Yet they are easily made, and are
wholesome CONNECTIONS because of their
tonic powers. The herb has the ability,
when administered in proper quantity,
TO excite the flow of perSpiration.
TO make whorchoul Id candy, put an
ounce of the dried herb in a pint of
boiling water. Ii may be bought at an
herb store or at almost any drug store.
1t may also be easily gathered at the

is a familiar plant. Strain off the in.
fusion OF whorchound and add a pound
OF sugar to every half pint of the
liquid. Boil the syrup until it threads,
and the thread crlcks off brittle when
bitten, and then pour it out ON buttercd
sheets of tin. When it IS partly cooled
crease it into inch squares, and when
it is hard brcakit into separate candies
If these candies are too bitter for youl
taste, lessen the amount of ]whorehount
a little.
Iceland moss makes an eXccllcnr
soothing cough candy. Take iiv,
cents worth of the lichen, soak it owe
night and wash it repeatedly. Take i
out of the last water and put it in
thick pnrcclain-lIncd saucepan III plent,
of cold water, and let it slowly simmc
