All kinds OF poultry and meat can be
cooked quicker by adding to the water
in which they are boiled a little vine
gar or a piece of lemon. BY the use
of a little acid there will be a consid-
cradle saving of fuel, as well as short

on old tough meats, rendering them
quite tender and easy of digestion.
Tainted meats and fowls will lose their

On a table in one OF the rooms in the
Methodist Episcopal Home for the
Aged, Belmont and Montgomery ave-
nues is an old bible or the fiyleaf of
which ii is recorded that Elizabeth
Walker was born on May II, 1903. The
owner of the bible is this very Eliza
beth Walker, now Mrs. Elizabeth Won
derby, and Thursday she celebrated in
this home where have been celebrated
her last seventeen birthdays, the 103d
anniversary Of her birth.
Were 1T not for the indisputable au-
thority Of this time yellowed page 1t
would be almost impossible to believe
that the aged lady sitting there so up
right in her chair by the window with
her sewing on her lap had ever passed
her S0th birthday.
Her blue eyes have none of the haZy
look Of age, her skin is clear and only
slightly wrinkled, and her voice when
she speaks Is not as harshly treble as
many persons thirty years younger.
Added to this, her hearing is so good
that the visitor has to raise his voice
only a trile in addressing her and her
memory for dates and people connect
ed with her experience is phenomenal.
Mrs. Wonderly's years are a legacy
from her parents, both of whom lived
to good old ages, her father having
reached the age of SO years. The ia
Their, who was a resident of Smyrna,
Del, where Mrs. Wonderly was born,
was a local preacher Of the Methodist
Episcopal faith and had served
throughout the revolutionary war in
the famous Delaware line of Washing
toms army. Both her father and her
mother, Mrs. Wonderly is fond of tell
ing, stood six feet tall in their stock
ing feet and were as fine and hand
some a couple as were ever married"
The eldest of their eleven children
was Mrs. Wonderly, who has survived
not only her ten brothers and sisters
but their children. But, rs she adds
proudly, she lived to see every one of
them converted to the faith"
She was a young child when the war
of 1912 took place, but, nevertheless,
her mind readily goes back to the time
when the people Of Philadelphia were
Frustrated by fear at the thought OF the
British invasion.

my salary. We sell all that are un-

odd sourc 500 a month.
Nearly all lost umbrellas are left in

an umbrella on entering a train that

tell you what that thing is.
"When you sit down in the car place
the umbrella on the outside, between
yourself and the aisle. Thus the I'M

you jump up hastily to get off at your
station you fall over it. You can't for
get it whether you would or not"

TONIC TREATMENT
Weak Stomach and Sick Headache
Cured by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

The symptoms of stomach trouble
vary. Some victims have a ravenous

heart disease. Sick headache is a fire.

A weak stomach needs a digestive
tonic and that there is no better tonic
for this purpose than DIR. Williams Pink

trouble with my stomach, which was
weak. / was run down and debilitated.

and at times had sick headache so bad
that l did not care whether 1 lived or

kinds OF medicine without relief. Then
L was bitten by a ra~ttlesnake and that

It's easy to understand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doctors
themselves sometimes forget the facts.
A physician speaks of his own expert
ence:
Il had used coffee for years and real
ly did not exactly believe it was injur-
ing me, although l had palpitation Of
the heart every day.
FINALLY one day a severe and almost
fatal attack Of heart trouble frightened
me and | gave VI both tea and coffee,
using Postum instead, and since that
time l have had absolutely no heart
palpitatiOn except on one or two Occa-
sionS when | tried a small quantity OF
coffee which caused severe irritation
and proved to me | must let it alone.
when we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we did
not make it according TO directions
but now we put a little bit of butter
in the pot when boiling and allow the
Postum to boil full Is minutes, which
gives it the proper rich flavor and the
deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many Of my
friends and patients to leave off coffee
and drink Postum; in fact, / daily give
this advice" Name given by Postum

Once in a While.

Once in a while the sun shines out,
n the arching skies are a perfect blue
Once in a while, mid CLOUD Of doubt,
Faiths fairest stars come peeping thTO,
Our paths lead down by the meadows fair,
Where the sweetest blossoms nod ANU

And we lay aside our cross of care,
Once in q while.
Once In a while within our own
We feel the hand of a steadfast friend
Once In a while we feel the tone
OF love, with the hearts own voice to

And the dearest of all our dreams come

And on life's way is a golden smile,
Each tbirsting flower is kissed with dew,
Once in a while.
