COOKING A CAT.

Northern Italy Would Rather Have
Puss Roasted Thsn Boiled.
In northern Italy the cat IL a To-
vorite and growing article OF food. In
Azeglio. in Venice. in Verona, butchers
sell cats and call them rabbits, for
the state forbids the eating Of cats.
but the poor people who have become
the chief buyers of the inferior kinds
Of cats are not deceived by their cheap
rabbits.
The proper way to cook cat is to
toast it in an oven until brown, with
onions, garlic. parsley, bay leaf, red
wine and some herbs peculiar to Italy.
When boiled, it is not so satisfac-
tory. Just before Christmas it is COM
mon for group of young men in
northern Italy to kill some cats, skin
them and soak them in water for two
or three days. They are then cooked
with great care on Christmas day and
served up hot about 100 p. m. after
mass.
Italy cultivates the cat for home con.
sumption, as English people raise rab.
bits. 1t 10 to be done on the quiet,

Pain Pills
Dr.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills InS ure
 Against Pain.

They are an insurance policy against pain and it's distressing effects.
 They guarantee that you will not be compelled to suffer from pain of any nature.
 They are a sure preventative if taken when you first discover a tendency to headache sick stomach, backache, dig ziness, indigestion, periodic pains, etc. They relieve the pain and tone up the exhausted and weakened condition of the nervous system.
 Should you neglect this precaution and allow a deep seated pain to possess you, no matter where located, they make good by removing the pain.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills have a wonderful reputation for doing all that is claimed for them, and this reputation is backed by a guarantee, that if first package fails to give relief, they cost you nothing. because your druggist will return your money.
 We urge you to try them under this guarantee, because they never fail.
 T was suffering with La Grippe, had aches and pains all over me, and was so miserable l was nearly beside myself After taking two doses of Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills I was relieved from pain and fell into restful sleep. They have never failed to give me relief from pain of any kind in 20 minutes"
