Mrs. De Long Finds that the Indescribable
Pains Of Rheumatism Can be Cured
Through the Blood.
Mrs. E. M. De Long, of No. 160 West
Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found
herself suddenly attacked by rheuma-
tism in the winter of 1896. She gave
the doctor chance to help her, which
he failed to improve, and then she did
some thinking and experimenting Of her
own. She was SO successful that she
deems it her duty to tell the story of her
escape from suffering:
"My brother-in-law," she says" was
enthusiastic OIL the subject of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills as a purifier Of the
blood, and when was suffering extreme
pains in the joints of my ankles, knees,
hips, wrists and elbows, and the doctor
was giving me no relief, began to re-
fleet that rheumatism is a disease of
the blood and that, if DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are SO good for the blood, they
must be good for rheumatism and worth

six boxes was entirely well. To make
sure I continued to use them about two
weeks longer and then stopped alto

reason to use them for myself, but

DR.. Williams Pink Pills furnish the
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue, strong
muscles and nerves, capable of bearing
the strain that nature puts upon them.
They really make new blood and cure
all diseases arising from disorders of the

HINTS ON COOKING FRUIT.
Do Not Destroy the Flavor Of Pleas.
ing and Healthful Dish by
the Use Of Soda.

A paragraph which has been going
the rounds rather extensively, informs
the housewife that little soda (sale-
ratus) added to stewed fruit when it
is being cooked lessons the quantity
of sugar required to sweeten it.
While this is true, it is equally the
fact that the soda accomplishes this
result by destroying the acidity of the
fruit, and in the process the life and
flavor are, to an extent, injured. -
preserve to which soda has been added
is rather fiat and tasteless when COM
pared with one which is made entirely
of fruit, sweetened with sugar.
The wise and truly economical
housewife will not destroy the flavor
of healthful and pleasing dish of
stewed fruit in order to effect saving
so very very small.
Fruit that is overly acid, such as
cranberries, red currants, gooseberries,
etc., will call for less sugar in sweet
ening if they are prepared in the fol-
| lowing manner: After washing the
fruit, place it in an agate kettle and
cover with clear, cold water. Set the.
kettle over the fire and bring the con-
tents quickly to the boiling point; pour
! off the water, and then set the kettle
where the fruit will cook slowly in the
usual way, adding only enough water
to keep the fruit from burning. Add
sugar sufficient to make the preserve
palatable, and do not add the sugar
until just before the fruit is removed
from the fire, since less is required
than when the sweetening is cooked
with the fruit
The juice or water that was poured
off the fruit, at first, can be made very
cold, sweetened with sugar and served
as drink; it may also be used in
place of water or milk for the founda-
ton of pudding sauce, little sugar
being added and the whole thickened
with corn starch or arrowrOOt Apples
or pears may be sliced and cooked in
in the usual way, and it can also be
used in mincemeat, in fruit cakes or
boiled buildings.
Fruit should never be placed on the
front Of the range and stewed like a
vegetable. Its appearance is much
more attractive if it is kept as entire
as possible. Apples and pears should
be cut into quarters or eighths, and
laid in the saucepan carefully, a very
| little water or fruit juice added and
the cover kept on the saucepan all the
time they are being cooked.-What to

SAFEST FOOD
In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts

Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre- digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing SO valuable as
Grape-Nuts for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and is also all
digestible nourishment. A woman
who used it says:
Some time ago was very i'll with
typhoid fever, so ill everyone thought
l would die, even myself. 1t left me
so weak could not properly digest
food of any kind and l also had much
bowel trouble which left me a weak,
helpless wreck.
81 needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that thought
delicious as could be but it also made
me perfectly well and strong again SO
/ can do all my housework, sleep well,
can eat anything without any trace of
bowel trouble and for that reason
alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its
weight in gold" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. g
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequent
ly sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable of digesting the
starches and therefore pre- -digested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories and therefore
anyone, no matter how weak the stom-
ach, can handle it and grow strong.
for all the nourishment is still there.
There's sound reason and 10 days
trial proves.

Bleaching a Hair Switch

This method of bleaching hair switch
is recommended: Make strong solu-
ton of peroxide of hydrogen and add
one teaspoonful of ammonia to each pint
of the solution. Soak the switch in this
over night, or until quite light. 1t will
require long time to bleach it entirely
white without running the hair. When
light enough, rinse well in bluing water.
Before using any recipe found in print,
ask your druggist about it. Often mis-
takes of one or more letters, or the omis-
sion or addition of one or more words
or letters may materially change, If not
entirely ruin the value of the recipe.

How Beauty Is Preserved.

A writer in the Chicago News says
that late hours and the excessive use
of the eyes in poor light or on trains
and cars, worry and ill health are the
prolific source of wrinkles. The wom-
an who is asleep before midnight,
who wears glasses if she needs them
to read with, who does not use her
eyes by poor light and who follows
these common-sense directions can, IL
she is still young and wrinkleless,
preserve her complexion for many
years, and she who is already showing
imperfections can prevent their be-
coming more marked-in many in
stances removing them-by properly
cleansing and nourishing her skin.
And that at a very small cost, as
these directions are especially for
those possessing small incomes.

will be conspicuous the coming fall and
winter as ornamental accessories to
handsome toilets. Properly used on
waistcoats, cuffs and girdles, they are
artistic and beautiful, and there is the
additional attraction to the woman who
wishes exclusive styles, that while the
masses may also use buttons their
purses are unable to compass the really
handsome fancy buttons that partake
of the nature of cabochons and, conse-
quently there is no danger of their tres
passing on the exclusives territory
Buttons for the Directoire coats are a
necessity, and some very beautiful jew
eled ones, as we'll as those in nouveau
art designs artistically worked in COL
many in fiat designs, will lead these jew
eled buttons.
Some of the new metal buttons are so
made as to closely resemble delicate en-
broideries on silken grounds.
New yet decidedly old-fashioned but.
tons like those our mothers used to
wear are covered with colored silks,
tufted with velvets of contrasting
shades. Indeed, several of the novelties
in buttons are reminiscent of the preced-
ing generation.
Coral and turquoise cabochons set in
rims of silver, gold or steel are shown.
but these are not new.
As Pavuin is using Dresden buttons in
the new yellowish-tinted reds and pur-
plish blues with patterns outlined in
gold, these buttons are among the latest
impOrtations. Other colOrS as well as
those mentioned are also in evidence.
A new thing in pearl buttons is the
Chef and braid buttons to combine with
braid trimmings are quite the thing.
Another of the new buttons is tufted
back black ivory for use on tailored and
mourning wearing apparel. The tufted
back permits the button to be easily
sewed on and retained by the garments
it is destined for use upon.
In the better braids for trimming pur-
poses the japanese patterns and ideas
are seen. and the diamond-patterned
silk braids are much in evidence.
A novelty in passementeries is the use
Of suede in various shades as back
ground for the embroideries and ap-
pliques of silk and beads. Suede is also
being used for vests with collars and
cuffs to match, but there is no prospect
of its being generally fashionable. A
dark-blue broadcloth coat and skirt had
