EVERYTHING Bad.

A prominent planter recently had
occasion to visit some of his holdings
in southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from a railroad,
and 1T was necessary to finish the
journey in a buggy. So he took a
friend with him and started out.
After traversing several miles of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon farmer blowing corn on the
side Of hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors,
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man. who came to the fence, hopping
his face with red bandana.

planter.

When a student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind OF
food, there are only two things to do;
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
Is Grape-Nuts.

An old recipe for stuffing turkey is
as follows: Take stale white bread.
slice it very thin and pour as much
boiling milk over it as will soften 1t;
the dryer II is the better; cover It
close; cut small onion very fine and
boil IT in butter until it is soft; then
beat five eggs, leaving out two whites,
and stir them into the hot butter and
onion until they are little hardened;
mash the bread very fine and mix all
together with pepper, salt and a little
parsley chopped fine; put this mixture
into the turkey with spoon the
quantity is for a small turkey.
The allowance OF eggs seems large
in modern ideas, but our great-grand.
mothers were good cooks and eggs
were plentiful.

A black and white shepherd check,
Atwood plated skirt, which was hope
lessly soiled and badly spotted; was
successfully cleaned by immersing at
night in bath-tub of cold water, to
which had been added small cake of
ivory soap, first shaved, cooked to
jelly in boiling water and two tea
spoonfuls of borax. Next. morning
this water, which was very dirty, was
drawn off, and the skirt was soused
up and down in clean, clear water Of
same temperature. This was drawn
off and followed by two more rinse
waters, taking care to have all of
same temperature. No rubbing The
skirt was then hung out of doors on
the line without wringlng at ALL in
warm, sunny place, and in six hours
was perfectly dry, and so smooth as
to scarcely need pressing. 1t was
pressed under damp cloth, however,
and looked like new.
