Make Your Own FlavOring.

You can make better lemon or
orange extract than you can buy If
you will peel the fruit thin, round and
round as you peel an apple, taking
none of the inside skin; then put in n
glass jar and cover with alcohol, or you
may simply chop the peel very fine,
add twice its bulk in white sugar and
keep in a close fitting jar. A teaspoon
full of this will flavor cake or pudding
very nicely. tried pineapple the

SMOTHER A COUGH,

Press your hand hard
enough over your mouth and
you can smother a cough but
you can't cure it that way
The outside is the wrong end
to work on.
SCOTS Emulsion thorough
ly cures coughs because ii
strikes at the root of the
trouble. The throat and lungs
need a regular system of edu'
cation to cure an old cough.
The point of value about
SCOTS Emulsion and coughs
is that, while SCOTS Emulsion
does soothe the raw throat and
lungs, it also nourishes and
heals the inAamed areas.
1t replaces inAamed tissue
with healthy tissue-the only
real cure for an old cough.
