rlADE FRO1 NATIVE ROOTS.
SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild In our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
of human maladies Is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
squaw to get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug papoose root for her,
fer that was their great remedy for fe-
male weak 1csses. DIR. Pierce uses the
same root-called Blue Cohosh-ln his
wFavorite Prescription skillfully com
bined with other agents that make 1t
more effective than any other medicine in
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful arrangements peculiar to women.
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur
geon's knife by the timely use OF Doctor
Pierce's Favorlte Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache, spells of dizziness, faintness,
bearing down pains or distress should not
go unheeded. A course OF "Favorite Pre-

EXCELLENT STUFFED HAM.
Simple Directions for Cooking This
Appetizing and PaIatable Dish.

What to Eat gives directions for a
stuffed ham, which ought to be very
good. For a buffet supper it would be
especially attractive. A medium-sized
sugar-cured ham is boiled in the usual
manner. When done, either slash
with a knife. making long, slanting
slashes, or %puEcture to the bone with
the carving steel. Prepare a stuff1ng
of bread crumbs seasoned with pre-
pared mustard until the crumbs are
quite yellow. Moisten with the water
In which the ham was boiled. Mix
with the dressing n onion chopped
fine, q few sprays of parsley, minced,
and plenty Of pepper, black or red,
Press this dressing in the slashes or
punctures, and glaze the ham over
with white of egg. Take a large
handful of crumbs, some as large as
a grain Of corn, and others larger;
spread these ove the top of the ham
and moisten them with cream. Place
in the oven long enough for the
crumbs to brown. which will be long
enough also to let the stufing get hot.
Garnish the dish with parsley or fine
punches of w~atercreSS.

No Sex in Initials.

There is a bad trick in business let.
ter writing to which men as well as
women are addicted" said a business
Il mean the way people have of
signing merely initials and leaving you
without a clew as to their sex, conse-
quently without a correct form in
which to reply to their communica-
ton and without a properly complete
notion of their identity.
For example, I have been for three
weeks in desultory correspondence
with a client who signed s. T. Snits,'
we will say. The handwriting was
somewhat feminine, and l had my Sec
rotary address the answers to Mrs.
S. T. SHIFTS We received a correction
this morning from Samuel T. SHIFTS,
and discovered that our correspondent
is a man. "a
cat other times women write us,
signing merely initials, and several
letters are interchanged before we
discover that p. B. Pipkin' or e. L..
Skeeter' represent members Of the

TAKE OUT STAINS.
THOSE MADE BY FRUIT JUICE
MAY BE EASILY REMOVED.
Use Boiling Water for the Slight One
And Acids for the Bad Ones,
Ones, But Great Precau-
ton Is Needed.

With the frequent service of fruits,
the table linen is apt to suffer. Be.
fore sending to the laundry the table.
cloths and napkins should be exam
ined carefully and the spots removed,
as soap sets the stains. Most fruit
stains, taken in season, can be r {.
moved easily from linen by putting
the stained portion over a bowl and
pouring a stream of boiling hot water
through it. When the spots are oh.
s~tinate, however, acids must be used.
This part of the work always should
be done under the supervision of the
mistress, to see that all needful pre-
cautions are taken to prevent de-
stroying the fabric itself.
OXalic acid, allowing three ounces of
the crystals to n pint of water, will
be found useful to be kept on hand
for this especial purpose. Wet the
stain with the solution and hold V e
hot water or in the sun. The instant
the spot disappears rinse we'll. Wet
the stain with ammonia, then rinse
again. This many times will save
linen.
Javelle water Is excellent for white
goods and may be made at home or
purchased at the druggists. A good
rule for making 1t calls for four
pounds of washing soda, dissolved in
four quarts of soft water. Boil ten
minutes, take from the fire and add
n pound of chloride of lime. Cool
quickly, bottle and keep tightly
corked. This is strong, and must be
handled with extreme care.
Peach stains are the hardest of all
fruit stains to remove, but a weak
solution of chloride of lime with in
finite patience in its application, fire.
Quently will effect the desired result.
