The Right Way to Bake Potatoes

Wash and clean the skins of the po-
tatoes without breaking. Put them on
the CRATE in a moderately heated oven.
If the oven is too hot the skins will at
once harden, forming q non conducting
surface, preventing the escape of water.
Potatoes baked in this way are heavy
and waxy, indigestible and unpalatable.
As soon as the potato is soft upon slight
pressure of the finger, remove it from
the oven. Take it in your hand, which
should be protected with napkin or
towel, and carefully work the potato
as though you were mashing 1t in the
skin, being very careful not to break
the skin. When the potato seems soft
and mealy throughout, put 1t back or
the CRATE in the oveh; and so continue
until all the potatoes have been sub
jected to this process.-January Ladies
Home Journal.

FUN IN THE PARLOR.

When you see young man sitting
in parlor with the ugliest 4-year-old
boy that ever frightened himself in a
mirror clambering over his knees. jerk

cts for coppers, while the unresisting
victim smiles all the time like the

say that the bowling boy has sister
who is in a room not twenty feet away,
and that the young man doesn't come
there just for the fun of playing with
her brother.

HAPPY MOTHERS
Whose Strength Equals Their
Love.

Few women if any shrink from the
passing pain of maternity. All they ask
IS to feel the child's heart beating against
their own as they hold it in strong arms
to the full fount from which it feeds.
How rarely the mothers strength keeps
pace with her love every woman knows.
Often the baby is laid against breast
that cannot nourish it, and folded in
arms almost too weak to bear the tiny
burden. The woman who is strong and
whose abundant vitality enables her to
nurse her child and enjoy its care is
looked upon as q marvel She is con-
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1902-01-14

sidered an exception, peculiarly and
specially endowed by nature. But the
real marvel is not the strong woman but
the weak one. She is the exception.
The strong healthy woman is natures
type. She shows what every woman
ought to be and what almost every wom-
an may be by the use of proper means.
THE OTHER rwo woMEN.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes weak women strong and sick
women well. The record shows that of
the hundreds of thousands of women
who have used cFavorite Prescription
ninety-eight per cent have been sabso-
lutely and altogether cured. The other
two women in each hundred for whom
no complete cure was possible, have in
general acknowledged great improve
ment in their condition headaches less
frequent and less painful, backache
greatly diminished; able to resume again
the care of the household and take pleas
ure in social life. That is the general
story of the two per cent. of women who
had found no help in any other medicine
but have by the use of UFavorite Pre-
scription found relief and comfort.
But think of the great army, the nine
| ty-eight per cent, numbering hundreds
| of thousands OF women who have been
cured perfectly and permanently. No
more headache, no more backache, no
more monthly misery. Pain is thing
| of the past. These are the women who
are fit for maternity, who will have
strength to give the child they bear.
