THE COOKBOOK.

In baking bread it is better to overdo
rather than underdo the work.
To make a good digestible pie crust
use cream instead of lard, and it will
be light and healthful.
If there is not batter enough to fill
the gem pan, put cold water in the
empty space before setting the pan in
the oven.
The rich cheeses, which have the
largest percentage Of fat, are those
which blend we'll with bread in sand
Wiches or with macaroni or rice.
For a quick cake beat until thick
four eggs. Add four tablespoonful Of
sugar, half a cup Of -four, little Gin
namon and lemon rind. Beat well and
spread on baking pan. Bake in quick
oven and cut at once.
Sweet potatoes are much richer twice
cooked. Baked or boiled merely, this
vegetable is good but when the bak-
rig or boiling is followed by a subse-
Quent cooking in the pan or in the
oven they are far better.
A fine cheese pudding is made by
grating five ounces of bread and three
Of cheese. Warm two ounces of butter
in a quarter of pint Of fresh milk and
mix thoroughly. Add two we'll beaten
eggs, salt and bake half an hour.

To MY Friends

It is with joy I tell you what
Kodol did for me. l was troubled
with my stomach for several months.
Upon being advised to use Kodol, I
did so, and words cannot tell the
good it has done me. A neighbor
had dyspepsia so that he had tried
most every thing. told him to use
Kodol. Words of gratitude have
come to me from him because I
recommended it.--Geo. W. Fry,
Viola, Iowo. Health and strength
Of mind and body depend on the
stomach, and normal activity Of the
digestive organs. Kodol, the great
reconstructive tonic, cures all stomach
and bowel troubles, indigestion,
dyspepsia. Kodol dlgests any good
food you eat. Take a dose after
meals. J. R. Kruger.

The European Plan.

Some queer customers are seen at
New York hotels. An old farmer from
the country tells how he got ahead Of
one of the clerks. II walked in" he
says, asked the young man at the
desk, What are your prices? 'Ameri-
can or European? he asked me. Now
I wasn't going to tell where was from
until had seen the lay of the land.
What difference does that make?' says
l. If American he answered, it's 81

a moment, and then an idea struck me
how to get ahead Of him. walked up

Death In Their Work.

elders, photographers and those who
handle the hydro and potassic cyanides
are liable to suffer from chronic poison
ing by hydrocyanic acid. They have
headache, giddiness, noises in the ear,
difficult respiration, pain over the
heart, loss Of appetlte-in short, show
all the evidences of mild poisoning.
Zinc workers, too, suffer. Zinc is used
as pigment in calico printing, in dis
coloring glass, in polishing optical
glasses and in making artificial meer-
schaum pipes.
So men die in harness in these and
a hundred other occupations, killed by
the very air they breathe, and other

ENGLlSHMAN AND TURK.
How the Former Obtained Some Cash
Owed by the Latter.

How the Former Obtained Some Cash
Owed by the Latter.
An Englishman has just had very
curious experience, says the London
Telegraph. He had lent Turk some
money, but the man was unable to
pay and on his deathbed laid par
ticular charge on his wife and chill
dren to meet the debt. The eldest SOD
was making arrangements according
~, but also died, and he, too, begged
his family to pay the money as soon
as they could.
One day the EnglisAman received
visit from a member of tho family,
Who said that there were now four
members of it left, and they were
ready to pay, but one Of the daughters
refused to subscribe her share, declar-
ing that the money was never really
lent. The others, however, wished to
settle the matter, and if the English
man would come to the house it would
be arranged. But" the Turk added,
IF you see there is any difficulty just
say that you leave it to be settled in
the next world"
Accordingly the Englishman went to
the house at the appointed time and
met the family in the presence Of
mollah, the ladies being behind a
screen. The mollah began by asking
if he had truly lent the money, how
much it was and i Be would take any
less. One of the women behind kept
saying it was all fraud. The English
man then declared that he had lent the
money, that he had not asked for it,
that they had told him to come and
get it and if they did not want to pay
it he would leave the matter to be set
tied in the next world.
There was dead silence for few mo-
ments, and then the women called
their brother, and each paid her share
without word. 1t seems the prospect
Of meeting the father in the other
world without having carried out his
wishes was too serious thing to face.

Cigarettes.

They have received another black
eye or rather a clean Knockout, so far
as n goes, at the Northwestern Academy,
in Evanston, Ill. In an address to his
students on Monday last DR.. II. +. FISK,
the principal of the Academy, stated
that recent competitive examinations
had shown that only per cent Of the
cigarette users in the school had been
able to reach the first grade, whereas
in the fourth, or lowest, grade the per-
centage of such smokers was 81. In
conclusion, DR.. FISK advised all OF his
pupils who were addicted to cigarette
smoking either to quit the habit or the
academy. Tuition fees will be re-
funded. said he. to all who choose the
academy.
The factor Of stupidity ascribed to
the cigarette is greater in this institu-
ton than it is in the Kokomo schools,
in Indiana, where, it was said q few
days ago, 400 pupils out Of 1900 were
two years behind in their studies as the
result OF smoking cigarettes.
1t ia noticeable that the most virulent
attacks upon the cigarette usually occur
at this time Of the year, that Is, in Febru-
ary or March. In February Of last year
the Legislatures Of Michigan and Ten
nessee and Of half a dozen other States
were overrun with measures to smite
q the cigarette demon hip and thigh.
About a year before that the officers
OF the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad formally expelled the coffin
nails from the lips of all the train
men on that system. Early in 1890 the
Maryland Public Health Association con-
sidered the specific charge that the
cigarette antagonizes the best efforts Of
the mother for the welfare of her boy
In the investigation which followed, the
weight of evidence, including that fur
nished by some OF the best-known ply
sicians in Maryland, was very indecsive.
About four years ago a so-called cigar
ette war was on in New York, and then,
as in other trials Of the same sort, the
charge against the accused lacked the
proof necessary to convict.
Indeed, il is less than five years ago
that a spirited agitation against the
cigarette took place in Chicago, only
short distance from the Northwestern
Academy. At that time thorough
analysis by the experts Of Chicago's
Health Department of fourteen different
brands of the article sold in that city
showed that there was nothing in any
Of the brands examined which, in the
opinion OF experts, would produce in
furious effects upon young men.
The statement of DR.. FISK shows that
there are still some in Cook county
who disagree with the findings Of Chi
cago's Health Board; and doubtless
thousands Of people could be found
elsewhere who agree with the doctor.
Nevertheless, the case against the cigar
ette cannot be called closed.
