THE USES OF PAnAFFINE.

To most people paraffine is OF value
tn only one way, and that is for COW
ering jams and jellies and preserved
goods, but there are no end OF uses TO
which 1t may be put.
For all purposes for which 1t Is
used it should be melted and the
surface over which 1t is poured should
be quite cold.
Eggs can bc preserved for long
time by dipping them in paraffine SO
that thin coating is formed all over
them.
In order tc make bottles of pickles
or catsup alright push the cork into
the bottle so that a space of fourth
of an inch is left at the top; then
fill this space with melted paraffine
Paraf1ine is acid proof, so that il
the cork of bottles containing acids
or other strong chemicals are soaked
In hot parattine the contents OF the
bottle will not affect them.
To keep cheese in hot weather GOV.
Ell with thin coating of parafnne.
This will also prevent Its, loss IT
weight by shrinkage.

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the diseaseis fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham,s S
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
cient treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When awomau is troubled with pain
or weight in loius, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
Of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices q
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinlshams Vegetable
Compound. as it may be the means OF
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia e. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs
Sawyer.
"I cannot express the terrible suffering l
had to endure A arrangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and a
serious kidney trouble The doctor attended
me for year, but kept getting worse, until
] was unable to do anything, and made up
my mind could not live. | finally decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkhann's Vegetable Com,
pound as last resort, and am to-day well
woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and !
tell every suffering woman about my case.'

Joke That Faned Twice,


Miss Adelbert hEt just returneo
from vacation spen44sat tiny village
on the Maine coast. In recounting her
experiences she talked somewhat for
the benefit of cousin, a quiet per-
son, who was visiting her city relative
for the first time in many years.
There was just ore store in the
place" said Miss Adelbert, and they
kept everything that is, everything
they had to keep.
"one day went to buy some soap,
and just on venture asked the
clerk if they had Browning. He stared
at me second, then went off and
looked under the counters and on the
shelves.
Presently he came back and said,
No, miss, we amt got none. We got
blaclling, an We got blum, an we
got whiting, but we ain't got bit c.
browning in the store"
Miss Adelbert had to make several
protests to assure her audience that
this really happened. Finally the
cousin asked, gravely, "But cousin
Bert, why didn't you say varnish in.
