Two Ideas for Small Cellar.

The first one was especially nice,
but little trouble to make. A small
cupboard with wire gauze sides and
door was arranged to drop down
through the floor into an excavation
made large enough TO hold it. The top
of it was covered with linoleum and
when the cupboard was lowered was
not very noticeable. A heavy iron
ring was fastened into the top, to
which a stout rope was attached,
passed through a couple of pulleys
and weight made fast to the end.
It was made of light material and was
very easy to draw up into the Kitchen.
Butter, milk, eggs and meats were al
ways nice and cold.
The other arrangement was simpler
in one way; that is, it is easier to
make, but more difficult to use. A
simple trap door was made in the
floor and supplied with hinges. I'm
der the floor small excavation was
made, and a box fitted to hold things
to be kept cool. Some augur holes
were bored in the box for ventilation.

To Cook Vegetables.

Have you ever tried cooking vege-
tables like this? Say you are going
to have turnips for one of the vege-
tables today. Well, salt some boiling
water and drop in the turnips nicely
washed, with only the tops cut off and
the jackets on. They take on an en-
tirely different flavor, from the skins,
which the person with discriminate
ing palate will appreciate. 1t is wonder
full how delicious all the vegetables
taste, if you eat nothing but vege-
tables for while-and they are twice
as palatable cooked in their skins. Po-
tatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips-try

them; and see what saving of labor
there is for the skins slip off after
they are cooked and then there is only
the butter and pepper to add. Have
you ever tried boiling lettuce for
greens? Take the large heads, cut
them in two and boil in sailed water
for about twenty-five minutes. Baked
vegetables are nice, too, with roast
onions, carrots and sweet potatoes, all
three at once, baked in the same pan
with the meat They make nice
change, and are simple and whole

when it wears down it is always the

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health
and Disease

The mention Of sulphur will recall
to many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us
our daily dose OF sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old-fashioned
remedy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable and
large quantity had to be taken to
get any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects Of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, so tnat single grain
is far more effective than a table,
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and ex-
pertinent have proven that the best
sulphur for medicinal use is that OBJ
tained from Calcium Calcium Sui
phlde) and sold In drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters.
They are small chocolate coated pel-
let's and contain the active medicinal
principle of sulphur in a highly con-
centrated, effective form.
Few people are aware of the value
Of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
health; sulphur acts directly on the
liver and excretory organs and plri-
fies and enriches the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary
| flowers of sulphur were often worse
| than the disease and cannot compare
with the modern concentrated prepar-
ations of sulphur of which Stuarts
Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the
best and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
! liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood In a
way that often surprises patient and
| physician alike.
DIR. r. M. Wilkins while experiment.
| ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was
superior to any other form. He says:
For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
| especially when resulting from consti-
patton or maleria, l have been sur
prised at the results obtained from
Stuart's Calcium WATERS In patients
suffering from boils and pimples and
even deep-seated carbuncles, l have
| repeatedly seen them dry up and dis
appear in four or five days, leaving
! the skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuart's Calcium waters is a proprie-
tary article and sold by druggists and
for that reason tabooed by many ply
sicians, yet 1 know of nothing so safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially in all
forms of skin diseases as this REM
edy."
At any rate people who are tired
of pills, cathartics and so-called
purifiers" will find in Stuart's CAL
cium Waters far safer, more pail
atable and effective preparation.
