YORKSHIRE PUDDING.

Sift together one heaping pint OF
flour, half a teaspoonful of salt,
teaspoonful and a half baking powder
ando a teaspoonful of sugar. Add
tablespoonful of butter and with the
tips of the fingers rub fine in the
-four. Beat two eggs until light, add
to them one pint milk and mix quick
ly with the flour into a rather stir
batter. Pour a few spoonfuls of tho
best drippings from the roast into
long tin pan, brushing all over the
pan or, if preferred, use small gem
pans, heating and greasing in the
same way. Pour in the batter and
bake in a medium hot oven thirty OF
forty minutes, basting frequently with
drippings from the beef. In serving
lay the meat on hot platter and gar
nish with pudding cut in squares or,
small puddings. Another way is to
have the pudding baked underneath
the meat. In this case when the
meat is half cooked lift onto the rack
and set the pan with pudding under
meath the meat, so that the dripplnga
will fall upon the pudding below.

Saves Seven single-Handed.

Single handed rescues of seven
men-a feat almost unknown in the
records of the police or fire depart
ments-were effected by Patrolman
George T. Conroy. of the Fulton
Street Station, Brooklyn. He saved
the men from death in the East
River, using only rope and long
plank in his work. Hundreds of pas
sengers on a ferry boat and scores
on nearby docks cheered themselves
hoarse for the hero. One man, Will
liam Ray, q detective employed by
an agency at 1345 Broadway, was
drowned in the accident, which was
a collision between a tug and
lighter.

RIGHT HOME
Doctor Recommends Postum From
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize
the injurious action of caffeine-the
drug in coffee-on the heart, than the
doctor
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
"I wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation

nervous heart trouble for over Is
years, and part of the time was un-
able to attend to my business.
"I was a moderate user of coffee
and did not think drinking it hurt
me. But on stopping it and using
aPostum instead, my heart has got all
right, and ascribe l. to the change
from coffee to Postum.
at am prescribing it now in cases
of sickness, especially when coffee
does not agree, or affects the heart,
nerves or stomach.
when made right it has much
better flavor than coffee, and is a

APPLE JELLY.

For making apple jelly, a tart
juicy kind of apple is needed. The
Red Astachan combines all the quail
tiles for a perfect apple jelly, the
red of it's skin giving delightful
color to the jelly. The apples should
not. be quite ripe; ''mealy apples"
should not be used as these have not
the amount of juice needed. Wash
the apples, remove the stems ano
blossom ends and the seeds; cut the
fruit into small fourths the height of
the fruit in the kettle, and cook SLOW
ly until the fruit is perfectly soft,
keeping the kettle tightly closed and
shaking to keep from burning. Then
turn the contents of the kettle into
a bag made of doubled cheese cloth,
and hang out of current of air. Al
low one pound of sugar to one pint
of juice; place the juice over the fire
and boil slowly for just twenty min
utest leaving the kettle uncovered.
Heat the sugar in the oven, and af-
ter the boiling, turn the sugar into
the juice; it will hiss as it enters the
juice. Cook for three minutes after
combining, then strain into jelly
glasses A thin slice of lemon added
to each glass gives pretty effect
and helps to flavor the jelly Cut
the lemon very thin, place it in the
glass and pour the hot liquor over it;
the lemon will float on the top. When
quite cold, pour little melted par
affin over the top of the jelly.-The
Commoner.

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair Began
to Fall Out-Wonderful Result
From Cuticura Remedies.

"About the latter part of July my whole
body began to itch. l did not take much
notice of it at first, but it began to get
worse all the time, and then | began to
get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and
other remedies that were recommended
for skin humors, but l became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as l would get in
bed and get warm, my whole body would
begin to itch, and my finger nails would
keep it irritated, and it was not long be-
fore l could not rest night or day. A
friend asked me to try the Cuticura Rene
dies, and did, and the first application
helped me wonderfully. For about four
weeks L would take hot bath every night
and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to
my whole 5ody, and kept getting better,
and by the time l used four boxes of Gu
ticura l was entirely cured and my hair

browns Where Once Rescued.

Fate seemed to decree that Thorn
as Corr, of 81 Second Street, East
Newark, should meet death by
drowning, for Wednesday he lost his
life in the Passaic River at the very
SPOT from which he was dragged two
years ago half drowned.
Corr had climbed from a small
boat on to the stringpiece of dock
and was walking along it when his
toe came in contact with short post
to which his boats are tied and he
fell into the stream, and did not

Cruel To Sell Lizards.

Alexander Fontonzi, an 1S-year-

was arrested at Barclay Street and
Broadway on a charge of cruelty to
animals. He had so or more tiny
lizards of the chameleon species at
tached by chains to a board and was
selling them to such as wanted to
buy for Is cents each. About their
necks were small strings with chains
attached. On the end of each chain
was a small safety pin by which puf-

little reptiles to their coats.

The Strenuous Life

Results in Stomach Troubles and
Physical Breakdown. Ill. q.
Pierce Offers Simple Remedy.
The strenuous life of modern times
forces people to rush through their
meals hastily, hurrying from the table
in the mad rush after the almighty
dollar.
The result is Incomplete digestion,
Inflammation of the walls of the
stomach, and lack of secretion of the
gastric juices, ending in chronic
stomach trouble and nervous break
down.
How much better it would be to eat
more slowly, cure the stomach trouble
with Mi-o-na, and soon regain per-
feet health. The headaches, sleep
l~essness, troubles, pain after
eating, specks before the eyes, back
aches, melancholy and gloomy fore
boding would be soon overcome and
perfect health and strength would be
restored.
So reliable is Mi-o-na IN curing all
forms of stomach weakness and trou-
bles that Fl. @. Pierce gives a signed
guarantee that the remedy will cost
nothing unless it cures. Each box OF
Mi-o-na sells for 30 cents, and is in
valuable to anyone who suffers with
Indigestion, nervousness or weak
stomach.
