HOW TO GAIN FLESH,
Mrs. s. T. ROrer Prescribes the Proper
Diet and Treatment for Women
Inclined to Thinness.

First of all, the person inclined to
thinness must learn to be quiet, even
in active exercises" writes Mrs. S. T.
Rorer on THE Best Foods for Stout
and Thin Women" in the Ladies Home
Journal. THE morning bath and rub
is absolutely necessary. For the morn
ing meal she should take some light,
easily digested food, as two soft-boiled
eggs, a piece of milk toast, or piece of
toasted whole wheat bread, preceding
this half hour with a cup of warm
water. AT luncheon a cream soup,
piece of whole wheat bread well toast
ed, any of the little made dishes like
chicken timbales, boudins, omelets,
with at least two slices of whole wheat
bread thickly buttered; two ounces of
butter at this meal would not be too
great a quantity if well masticated
with the bread. Use, also, baked po-
tato, or couple of tablespoonful of
boiled rice, and as a dessert, rice pud-
ding, cup custard, any of the light
souff1es, or Bavarian cream-in fact,
anything but cake, pie or boiled pud-
dings. Avoid all of the acid fruits
For the night meal have a clear
soup, red meat, either beef or NUT
ton, with baked potato, or mashed
potato Drowned in the oven, or a pota-
to croquette, or rice in any form,
stewed macaroni, a green vegetable,
and a salad composed of a green
10 hi
not have more than two vegetables at
one meal, besides the salad. For des-
sert have charlotte, little ice cream
eaten slowly, or any of those above
mentioned, or a wafer that has been
thoroughly toasted, and any of the
ripe cheeses. For luncheon, where
cream soups cannot be used, cup of
cocoa or chocolate with cream is ex-
ceedingly valuable"

Removing Warts from Cows.

A simple remedy for the removal of
warts is given by the Practical Dairy
man, which it says are among the
troublesome things in the dairy, and
one that affects both the COW and the
ndlker alike, is their presence more or
less pendant and numerous upon a
cows teats. They are often the more
disagreeable because by the act OF
milking they frequently cause sores
and lead to kicking cows and all the
disagreeable consequences which fol-
low This kind of warts are easily re-
moved by an application of castor
oil. One or two applications will clear
off the warts and render the teats
smooth, soft and pliable.

Cottage Cheese Sandwiches.

Cut slices of brown bread about halt
an inch thick; do not remove the
crusts; rub half pint of cottage
cheese to a smooh paste, then press it
through fine sieve; add slowly, eat
ing all the while, two tablespoonfuls OF
melted butter, half teaspoonful OF
salt, and two tablespoonfuls of thick
cream. Spread each slice of bread
thickly with this cream mixture. Put
on top very thin slice of white bread
and on top of this another thin layer
of cheese. Cover with slice of brown
bread and trim into shape.-Mrs. s. T
Rorer, in Ladies' Home Journal.

NO WOMAN Is EXEMPT.

Regularity is a matter of Importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
Torrance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like a
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
ful menstruation and leucorrhea. I
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. l now wish to say that never
had anything do me SO much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. 1 hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinbham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

SWEET REVENGE.
A Turkish Bath Assistant Gets Even
with the Judge Who
Sent Him Up.

The judge had never taken Turkish bath,
but he was not feeling his best that morn
ing, and it suddenly occurred to him to test
its vivifying effects, so enthusiastically des-
canted upon by his young friends.
1t seemed to the Judge that the rubber was
'terribly rough, but fearing to expose his in
experience and subject himself to ridicule by
Directing to the regular treatment, he pa
tiently endured being punched, pummeled,
slapped, spanked, whacked and poked, un-
til he could not stand the terrible torture
a moment longer.
"ls-it-quite neces-sary-to
-bla ack-and-blu e-all-ov-ver?" painted
the judge, as irregularly as the rubber dug
his fists in more or less vigorously.
Never you mind; I'm fxn' you," re-
sponded the rubber, redoubling his as
saults, and grinning diabohcally-a least
so it seemed to the judge.
Who (slap, groan) are (thud, groan)
your" gasped the Judge, horrible suspicion
dawning in his mind Your (whack, groan)
face (thump, groan) does (whack, groan)
look (slap, groanl fa-(thud, groan)-mil-
lar" (swish, groan).
ooh! you remember me, do you?" growled
the rubber, sarcastically "Well, dash yer
old hide, mebbe you'd like to send me up
for six months again for prize fghtin'"--

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
With Proper Drainage They Are
Easily Maintained at All Sea-
sons of the Year.

"The great secret of success in road
making and bookkeeping is to drain
the roads, and keep the roads drained
by keeping the bitches open," writes
John Gilmer Speed on "How to Have
Good Country Roads" in the Ladies
Home Journal. "The old method was
to run plow through the side bitches
and throw the disturbed soil, sod and
all, in the middle of the road. There it
would stay till heavy rain came to
wash this soil back into the ditches
and fill them up again. If there were
money enough this+iind of thing would
be done over and over again, as often
as four times in year. Where there
were wet spots broken stone or gravel
would be placed in the road and left
for the passing wagon to wear this
metal into ruts. The money spent was
absolutely thrown away.
by the new process all the road
mender needs 10 do is to provide ditch
es and outlets for them, and then SO
shape the road that the water falling
in rainstorm will run off at once into
the bitches. The water must not be
suffered to run in the road, but off the
road. The rainfall, being thus simply
and effectively disposed of, becomes a
most beneficial instead of destruc-
tive agent; it cleans, and shapes and
hardens the roadway, instead of wash.
ing it away and deepening the ruts
When there are wet places, such as
springs, in the roadway, gravel and
broken stone will not cure such things.
The water must be drained off under
meath the roadway and into the ditch
es by means of pipe or blind drains.
The whole thing is so simple that any
one can easily master the principles
and put the details into practical op-

be any crooks in rows they will all cor

When digging time arrives, go over

Keep the young trees well mulched
or cultivated two or three feet from
the trunks to avoid the disastrous re-
suits of drought which is sure to come
at some time during the year. The
heavier the rains early in the season
the more danger there is of drought
damage later, and the less able is the
soil to retain the moisture. The best
precaution is to keep the soil we'll

The waist was of challie with little
