But 1t Is Icon Cured by Hood's
Sarsa2ariIia.
Yes, Scrofula, If fanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world ld-ofiensive, painful,
debiIitating, stubborn and well nigh
unendurable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may pailiate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
taint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as We
know, has almost invaria bly, succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of taint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
ell over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
riIIa and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time." MARIETTA NJ.

SPEAKING FOR ITSELF.s
The Timed Beef That Was Sent to Porto

Washington. Jan. 25.-Majo Rufus II
Townsend, cornmisssry of subsistence
U. s. ". testified before the war inves-
tigatins commission yesterday that he
had constantly inspected the kitchs rs
and supplies. and said both the refrig-
Grated and canned beef were good. The
only comtaint he had known was from
officers in Porto Rico. who said the beef
sometimes was not used in time ard
consequently spoiled. At this point Gen
eral Beaver announced that the COM

eral Miles Monday several cans of
roast beef forwarded to him by Captain
Bean, of battery c, from PhoenixviIie,
Pa, who is quoted as having said that
in Ponce cats to whom he had fed this
same beef had died from eating IL. The
cans had been received from the express
company in General Miles office in the
presence OF Major Mills, the recorder of
the commission, who certified as to its
identity.
One can was opened and it's appear

impression on members of the commits

cans were then sent to a government

made to what he considers the most
practical public good in the way of
charitable and Industrial enterprises.
Of course, everybody knows that he
: was born in Dunfernlyne, Scotland, in
1885. His parents were in humble cir
cumstances. his father being a weaver
and evidently unable to maintain
themselves in that thrifty but unpro-
ductive climate; SO he came to Amerit
ca with his mother and brothers and
started out in Allegheny county to bel
come something better rnan it wal
possible to be in the old country. Mr.!

were POOR, and he with it, and tnat ha
did the most lowly tasks to assist ID
maintaining the household. He
thought that it was his duty to be
bread winner as soon as he could think
Of anything. His. father lad owned id
Scotland four damask looms and had
apprentices. This, as he said, was bel
fore the days OF steam factories which
1nanufa actured linen, but as the factory
system developed the hand loom
weaving declined and his father was a
sufferer.
Mr.. Carnegie says: The first serious
lesson Of my life came to me one day.

turned to our little home greatly dis

tired from business life with some
thing like$200, 100000 of a fortune, be-
gan life as a bobbin boy in a cotton
factory at Pittsburg. He had few
clothes on his back and not much
more of footwear than to keep his
toes from the stones of that then very

mate of what he has given away since
he won fortune placed the total at not
much less than $9,OO0,OOO. and he ex-
poets before he dies to distribute in
philanthropy and other ways the great
bulk of his fortune. He has given to
Pittsburg, where he began his early
struggles for fortune, to endow and
support the library and art gallery $3,-
000,Q00. He has given to Braddock a
free library and, buildings worth near
ly half million. He has donated to
the JOhnstown Free Library$3O0, 900;
to the town of Carnegie as free lii

of Pennsylvania for library $4,000:
he has donated 10 the Chicago Univer-

he has given to art associations in the

THE MAKING OF A MENU.
Things to Consider if It Is to Result
Successfully

Successfully
The planning of menus is one of the
most exacting duties of hostess who
desires to make or keep reputation
as a successful entertainer. "Pot luck
and take us as you find us' are all
we'll enough up to certain point; but
there are occasions that demand a
carefully thought-out arrangement of
dinner, and when anything less
would be discourtesy to ones guests.
In making up a menu the season
limits one at the start, for, although
it is said that one can now buy any,
thing at any time of the year in the
city markets, that pre-supposes a fat
ter pocketbook than most planning
housewives possess. Within a short
time, however, the best of everything
will be comparatively cheap, and so
much will be in season that one need
not stop at anything on that account.
stumbling block that remains
through all seasons are the limitations
of ones cook. If you are not the DOS
SCISSOR of a skilled chef it is of no use
to expect high-art cooking and elabo-
rately concocted dishes. Plan your
menu within the range of your cooks
capabilities.
It may be impossible to please all
ones guests, but it will be we'll to have
those things on the menu that will
appeal to the greatest number. A
hostess who has OWNED the idiosyn-s
cracies of her guests and is able to
humor them is sure of success. One
of the chief attributes Of success is the
ability to give personal or distinctive
note to ones dinner, something by
which your dinner may be differenti-
ated from every one else and remem-
bered with especial pleasure. The.
method of serving the character of
some especial dish, the decorations,
any one of dozen things may bring
this about under the management of a
clever and ingenious woman.
