Is It Right For an Editor to Recon-

Boon Sylvan Valley News, BrevaId, IN.

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevafd, N. o..
It may be q question whether the
editor Of newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which food the

ing we feel it duty to say a good
word for Ohamberlain's Colo, Cholera

known and used this medicine In our

a dose of this remedy would save hours
Of suffering while physician is await
ed We do not believe In depending i'm

we do believe that IL bottle Of Cham

might be avoided and in very many cases
the presence Of a physician would not
be required. At least this has been our

AGrnnite nndnnI Icing.

At a recent cooking school demon
stration of cold desserts the difference
between a granite and an ice was ex-
planned. A granite Is a grained ice,
the difference resulting in the treat
ment after 1t Is in the freezer. The
granite is packed in the can and set
away without any stirring except that
at the end of an hour the sides Of the
cans are scraped free Of the Ice and
the mixture repacked. This process is
twice repeated. If fruit granite is de
sired, at the end Of the third hour the
fruit is stirred lightly in, but not beat
en-. The result is a mixture Of much
soarser grain than ordinary ice. The
latter is stirred frequently.

the fact that it is the second time the

For the next two weeks the habitues
of the hotel veranda had more than the
scenery. the nature OF the dessert or the
temperature to occupy their minds. In
fact it would have been decidedly dull
had it not been for this new developing
interest, for the thermometer had dis
played an unusual amount OF conscience
for one belonging to summer resort.
The tramps. the rides, the tete. a-tetes
of Mr.. Horton and Miss Stanton were
not 30 interesting to be sure, for, for two
summers had they not been friends and
foes? But Mr.. Barrett, the man who
delighted to expatiate on the peace of
his eight and forty years. and who
chuckled over the singleness of his state

randa missed the companionship Of this
gentle, genial scoffer and the clock work
Of his ways. His gifts Of bon bons and
flowers were the cause OF intense ex-
element and deep concern. The Sc
robustness of the affair was not only ap-
parent by the oblivion of bait, fishing
tackle and pipes in Mr.. Browns daily
career. but also by the fact that the ex-
preston on Miss Browns face and the
roses at her belt were the source of
much more enthusiastic conversation
than the fresh loveliness of hersfrocks.

Others were not sure whether Point

Lions Head should be their morning's

to the fire.

then sat down beside her.

A boat with Yale blue trimmings was
skimming over the water, and even at

Horton moved a little nearer the fire
