 ''To day you can ask what has made me feel ten years younger and will tell you. It was the 7eeao medicine discovered by the well-known Dr. David Kennedy. mean Cal-cura Solvent. For years was troubled with my kidneys, but am all right now"
 That is the experience of thousands. Dr. Kennedy said he regarded his aseao medicine as the eliminating achievement of his life. and he was right. Cal-cura Solvent enriches the blood, aids digestion, regulates the bowels and sets the liver at work. It ii mild, but thorough. Its effects are lasting.

How to Renovate Feathers.

For every five pounds Of feathers use
one-half cupful of borax for about eight
gallons of cold water. Put the borax
and water In n boiler, immerse the
feathers and weight down; boil for four
hours, then drain out the feathers,
spreading out somewhat. When cool
enough to handle squeeze dry as pos
sible by handfuls, put into cases and
fasten by one end to the clothesline in
the shade. Sun should not shine on
feathers, for 1t starts the grease in the
quilts. Thoroughly pummel and shake
the pillows three or four times day

they are rehung. Three or four breezy,
drying days will find them thoroughly

HER ONE *
OPPORTUNITY
BY JAMES BASCOMB
CoPvRIGHr, MOT, ny T. c. MCCTRE


Aunt Mary Graham, widow, who
lirad on the outskirts of the village of
Btkcrsville. was all alone on that
Thursday evening. The hired man had
gear in one direction and the hired girl
In another. and neither was expected
back before midnight. The widow
worked away at a crazy quilt until .
o'clock and had just put away her sew
in.s to make ready for bed when she
Heard the kitchen door open and shut.
Then some one walked across the room
and opened the sitting room door and
entered. and she looked up to find a
stranger present. He was man Of
middle age. fairly we'll dressed. His
face was not at all wicked, though it
had dssipated look.
II beg your pardon for this intru-
siOn." he said as she regarded him with
puzzled look, but my excuse is that
l have called on business and am in
something of hurry. l want what
money you have In the house, and the
sooner you hand it over the sooner I'll
be gone"
"YOu don't mean that you are a rob-
ber?" queried the woman.
That's what l am. l know you are
alone in the house, and hope you will
hand over the money like sensible
woman and not provoke ME to anger"
Wont you sit down? I shall not
scream or anything. I have heard
about robbers ever since l was child,
but you are the first one l ever saw.
You must excuse me If l have nat
ural curiosity about the matter. Is this
your first experience"
Not by long chalk. It's nearer my
fiftieth."
81 am somewhat glad Of that" said
Aunt Mary. "A man who had just
turned rObber broke into my sisters
house in Taylorvllle n few weeks ago,
and I can't tell you Of the mistakes he
made. She had so cents in her purse,
and he took that and left SO in one OF
the drawers of the sewing machine.
She has real solid silver spoons, and
yet he laid them aside and took the
plated. The sheriff said he was moth
ing but bunglcr.
"Ill try to clean up things in good
shape" replied the robber, who had
taken seat on the edge Of a chair
and was twirling his hat.
'Our supper was over three hours
ago, but l can bring you glass of
milk and a piece of pie. l will leave
the door open so that you can see all
the time. You'll feel better for some
thing to eat. The rObber I spoke of
drank n whole pitcher Of sour milk,
when there were two pans Of sweet on
the buttery shelves before him. He
must have been a very awkward fel-
low"
The robber nodded his head, and the
woman fetched him n generous piece
Of pumpkin pie and a large glass Of
milk and materially observed:
Just make yourself right at home
while you eat and drink. Did l under
stand you TO say you were married
man"
"No'm. 1 was married once, but my
wife is dead"
"Was that before you became a rob-
ber?"
"Yes"
"I am rather glad of that. II had

be worried about him. Have you any

THE PUBLIC
UTILIZING ROSE LEAVES.
How to Prepare Delicious FlnvOrs
and Sirups With Them.


and Sirups with Them.
From time immemorial the orientals
have utilized roses for their choicest
sweets and CONNECTIONS and for their
perfumes and flavors. says the Wash
ingtOn Star. Our t-grandmothers
were adopts in the preparation of rose
flavOrs and potpourris, but the modern
woman has been slow in awakening to
their possibilities.
For rose sirup collect fresh petals
each morning and spread on a tray to
dry. When enough have been collected
for tumbler of preserve put in fresh
granite or porcelain kettle with just
enough water to cover and simmer I'M
til tender. Add sugar in the proportion
of pound to each pint of the leaves
and water and cook to a rich sirup.
The Turkish women frequently use hon
ey in place Of sugar, one-half pound Of
the honey cqualing a pound of sugar.
This sirup gives delicious flavor to
n pudding sauce or mincemeat, or 1t
may be utilized as sweet at Turkish
tea. Pour in glasses and seal.
To secure rose flavOring fill a wide
mouthcd bottle with fresh petals, pack
ing them down as tight MS possible;
then pour over them enough pure alco-
hol to submerge.
The petals Of the yellow rose infused
in boiling water furnish delicate dye,
which Is attractive with old fashioned
rose desserts and for homemade candy.
To make candied rose leaves gather
fresh leaves and spread them on an in
verted sieve or oiled paper in the open
mir until slightly dry, but not crisp.
Make sirup, using half pint Of wa
ter and a half pound of granulated sug
ar. and boil until It spins thread. Dip
ench rose leaf in this sirup, using a hat
pin or fine wire; then lay back in place.
After several hours melt half cupful
of fondant, add two or three drops Of
essence Of rose, a drop OF cochineal to
color and few drops Of water to thin.
Dip the leaves In this one by one, sprin-
kle with crystallized sugar and return
to the oiled paper to harden.
