Dear NJ. B. Friends:

1t has been long time since we heard
from ''Eunice", but last week received a
nice letter from her, and the above poem
she sent to be used for the column if
thought it suitable. And / am sure it is
well for US to remember the lesson con-
tanned in it'll She writes: This poem
was given me by dear friend (who died a
few months ago). She said it expressed
her feelings. After her death ! could not
help thinking of the words of the poem,
so much was done at her funeral, though
she had very little while living Eunice
also says:
If should visit Maine in June how nice 1t
would be IL the reunion should be in June also !;
perhaps l might be able to go. / hare been
hoping they would have a membership pin.
should certainly want one-I should EEL very
proud to be able to wear one. 1 think haven't
anything very new in the receipt line, Int there
are some Things that have bern a help to me.
So l will pass them along to you. In cold
weather, when steam is unpleasant through the
house, cook my brown bread IN a small pail
set in another with water in 1t; cover them both
and put IN the oven. The water seldom dries
away. Now that my family Is small, use a
pound can for the brown bread and set 1t In
fye-pound lard pail.
Ny receipt for that is: One cup rye meal, X
cup Indian meal. " cup molasses. small tea
spoonful soda and stir up with sour milk, not
very stiff.
Another hip to housewives who dislike to
have their stoves spattered with grease Is to
bake lamb or pork chops; after rubbing little
salt over them place them in biscuit tin, sift a
little -four over them and bake; they are much
nicer th1n fried.
We are very glad to hear from you again.
Eunice. Thanks for the poem and letter.
Aunt Jana sent the same suggestion about
cooking brown bread, and place it here:
Dear Sisters;
want TO tell you something about steaming
brown-bread which a friend Of mine told me not
long ago, AMI almost think she belongs 10 TIE
nj. b. G., but ain not quite sure l have always
thong ut 1t a real bother to steam brown. bread
and kecp 1t on top of the stove and keep the
kettle from getting dry, &c. So she told me
new way which is this:
Take ten-pound lard pail and fill 1t partly
full of water, mix up your brown bread and put
In a hve-p0und lard pail or a cotee-can; set your
small pail In the larger one, and put the cover
on both pals and put in the oven, and you will
have nothing more to do to it until wanted,
except to keep fire. Ii comes out delicious. /
tried pudding that way the other day, and it
came out fine. 1t was such help to me that
wanted all of the sisters to know 1t. No more
this time. VIII tell you something else when
write again. AUNT JANA.
When you get time, tell us that "some-
thing else''.

WOnen'S Woes.
Grateful Ellsworth Women Tell Of
the Easiest Way to Escape Them.

When the back aches and throbs-when
housework is torture-when night brings
no rest, no sleep-when urinary disorders
set in, woman's lot is a weary one. There's
way to escape these woes. Doans Kid
ney Pills cure such ills. Have cured wo-
men here in Ellsworth. This is one
woman's testimony:
Mrs. John c. Meader, living at West
Ellsworth, Me-, says: 81 was so pleased
with the benefits derived from the use Of
Doan's Kidney Pills in the spring of 1902
that gave a testimonial at that time re-
commencing them. For several years my
back was weak and sore and found it
difficult TO stoop or get up or down from
a chair. / had such pains in my kidneys
at times that they felt like thrusts Of
knife, and the pains often extended up
through my shoulders. There was irreg-
ular action of the secretions which caused
me much inconvenience, and though
doctored and used different medicines,
nothing did me much good until | got
Doan's Kidney Pills at Z. G. Mooreis
drug store. 1t required but short use Of
this remedy to free me from the pain and
to correct the other kidney difficulties.
My daughter complained Of having pains
in her back, and as / had some Doan's
Kidney Pills in the house at that time
gave her some. She, like myself, received
much benefit. / can say that in my case
the cure has been permanent, as have
not required the use of any kidney rem

which have elapsed since used them

An Epicure In Condiment.

and the brisk waitress held a glass pitcher
above some steaming buckwheat cakes she
had placed before the guest from town.

The golden stream began its sticky de-
scent on the centre of the cakes, and as
she poured, the waitress included the

templative glance.
"Some prefers 1t raound and raound,

Annual Whipping pax..

Canterbury school In England had an
annual whipping day, when, as Green
tells us, an all round whipping was
given to the boys not for any definite
fault on their part. but with view to
their general improvement. Canterbury
was not singular in the belief that a
sound birching now and then was in
itself good thing for boys. The idea
was commonly held in the old scholas-
tic world and was regularly acted upon
by the most famous head masters,
from Dean Colet to DIR. Keate. Eras-
mus says he was logged on this princi-
pie, and Charles Lamb found it to be
the practice at Christ's hospital.

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician. but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with I'M
married women.
Is it any wonder, then. that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients.
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
1fyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

AN ODD WHIST HAND.
II Looks Like Sure Winner, but
Can Take Only Six Tricks.
AUNT MADGE.


II Looks Like Sure Winner, but
Can Take Only six Tricks.
To any one familiar with whist the
following hand is bound to look pref
ty good:
Hearts.-Ace, king. queen. jack. ten
and nine
Diamonds.-Ace, king and queen.
Spades.-Ace and king.
Clubs-King and jack.
Hearts are trumps.
1t looks like good thing for eleven
tricks sure and possibly for twelve.
Should any whist player OF experience
get such a hand, however, he will be
mighty apt to be as suspicious as the
poker player who Is dealt four kings.
1t is what is known as ''yarbor-
ough" in whist circles, and this is the
denouement: The dealer holds the 9th
er seven hearts trumps) and six small
clubs to the ten. The dealers partner
holds the ace and queen of clubs and
one small club. What his other ten
cards are makes no difference.
The partner of the person holding
the good hand holds the thirteen other
cards, and ii makes no difference what
they are The good" hand has the
lead, and if any whist player wishes to
verify the assertion he may try from
now until doomsday and yet not be
able to take more than six tricks with
the hand 1t is impossible by good.
bad or Indifferent play to take single
trick more, provided. Of course, the
dealer and his partner play their hands
properly Sun.
