For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March 21.-
Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place. says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experience:
my daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is new two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and would
then pass off. In a month she would
have the spells again. At these times
she would eat very little and was very
yellow even the whites of her eyes
would be yellow.
'The doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about a dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling we'll. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine fol
growing girls
Mothers should heed the advice O.
Mrs. Smith for by so doing, they may
save their daughters much pain anC
sickness and insure healthy happ.
future for them.

HOW MEM cooK IN CAME.
Take Directions from Mrs. Rorer an
Meet with Success

Various echoes from the camp reach
me. Frequently am consulted about
the cooking. and am asked to furnish.
recipes. One year my fisherman as
PRED to flannel cakes. There was no
reason, he said. why they should not
add this dainty to their fare, espe-
cially since 1t was so easily made. He
wrote out the directions-hour, eggs,
milk, soda-carefully. The sequel
heard later.
Toward the end OF the week, when
the campers were little tired of the
fishing and probably OF each other.
they decided that the time had come
for the flannel cakes. 1t was about 3
o'clock in the afternoon, and they
started at once to get them ready.
One man went for the milk to the
farmhouse on the hill, and while walt
ing my fisherman measured out the
-four into an eight-quart bucket. In
stead Of the two quarts called for in
the recipe, he took four, to be sure to
have enough. AS they did not have
eight eggs he took FIVE. and-think Of
this, ye cooks!-broke them right into
the -four, and proceeded to stir the
mixture until the milk arrived. He
then added the milk and other ingre-
dents, and kept man stirring all the
rest Of the day to get out the Jumps,
which, it is unnecessary to add, could
not have been stirred out in an eter-
nifty. They tell me there was a man
on the road coming or going for milk
for two hours, and that when they
finally desisted from beating the mix
ture, there was as much OF the batter
on the outside Of the bucket and on
the gallant cooks themselves as In the
bucket. Then they baked the batter
In an iron pan and had supper, and
were thankful to find themselves alive
the next morning. Verify, cooks are
born, not made.
At another time a kinsman aspiret
to make an omelet, another very sim
J pie thing. He took his directions from
Mrs. Rorer, learned them by heart
and kept repeating them over an,
over. "Give seven beats Of the fork.
