FOR THE OCCASIONAL NAP.
Why the Couch Should Be Considered
Indispensable.

"A room without a couch is only
half furnished" says an authority on
homemaking. Life is SO full of ups
and downs that often and often all
that saves the sanity of the mentally
jaded and physically exhausted for
tune fighter is the occasional half hour
rest or momentary loss of conscious
ness on the breakfast room lounge or
the old sofa in the sitting-room. A
long, comfortable couch. on which one
may throw himself. boots and brains,
unmindful of tides and tapestries, is
a veritable means of grace. The need
of good. healthy nap is often mis-
taken for suicidal tendencies. Instead
of speedy introduction to future
state, business men and working wom-
en- want systematic doses of doing.
and next best to mossy bank in the
shade of an old oak is the low, long
couch in the dusky corner, where tired
nature can turn her face to the wall
and dream away the blues.

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1t is worth knowing that change
in food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape.
Nuts food has cured me of Indigestion.
Il had been troubled with it for
years. until last year my doctor rec.
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. 1 followed instruc-
tions and now am entirely we'll =
"The whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is prediSested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using: it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. If
that part Of the human body is in per-
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the en-
gine.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the. body
works badly Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use. a. ....-..

Gar as Composer of Music.

For the last is months the cZar has
his own palaces and in the intervals
of state work he has solaced himself
with composing music and writing
verse. His poetry is melodious and
carefully polished and his music is
melancholy and inspired by spirit of
fatalism. Some three years ago some
of the cars poems were published
under the pseudonym of Olaf, with
music by his cousin. the Grand Duke
D'Assia, but he has himself set some
of his verses to music with a consider
able amount of taste and n real knowl-
edge of harmony. Nicholas II. has a
fine collection of violins, of which he

HOW TO REGULATE AN OVEN.
Proper Temperature Requisite for
Best Effects in Baking.

For the successful making of bread
it is necessary that the oven be care
fully regulated. After the loaves so in
increase the oven heat slightly for ten
minutes, then reduce gradually. In
the ordinary small range the loaves
should be turned every ten or 10 min.
utes to insure even baking. If they
show signs of browning too rapidly
cover with oiled paper. In 40 or so
minutes loaf will shrink somewhat
and slip easily from the pan. When
well baked an empty, hollow sound
will follow tap with the fingers and
the crust feels firm. Take from the
pans as soon as done and tie up
against the bread board. so that the
air may circulate freely about the loaf.
Never leave loaves in pans or on
pine table to sweat or absorb the odor
of the wood. II you like crisp crust
do not cover the loaves when cooling,
but if you prefer soft. tender consist
ency wrap in several thicknesses of
cloth. When perfectly dry and cold
put into wcll-aired tin box and cover.
A rule briefly summarized, then, for
plain white bread to be baked in one
day would be like this, subject to
minor variations. This amount will
make four loaves: One quart milk or
water, or half and half; two com
pressed yeast cakes, one tablespoon
full of sugar or not, as preferred; two
tablespoonsfuls shortening, two tea
spoonfuls salt and about three quarts
sifted -four. Dissolve the yeast cakes
in some OF the lukewarm water or
milk, add shortening, put in flour to
make as stiff n batter as you can beat,
then beat five or ten minutes, remem-
bering that the more you beat the less
kneading will be required. Add the
rest of the -four. turn out on floured
board and knead from IS to 20 min

STOMACH ON STRIKE
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREAT. LENT
FOR INDIGESTION.
Or. Williams Pink FilLo Cured This
Woman and Have Cured Many
Hundreds Of Other Cases Of
AiIr,arta


Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and a dull, sluggish feeling these arc
the SYMPTOMS of stomach trouble. g'hey
indicate that the stomach is on n strike;
that it is no longer furnishing to tho
blood the full quota of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers.
There are two methods of treatment,
the old one by which tho stomach il
humored by the use of predigestcd foods
and artificial fermcnts, and tho new ono
by which the stomach is toned up to do
the work which nature intended of it.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment il
that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of ~
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says:
II suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backaches
and was confined to my bed tho greater
part of three years. l was under tho
care of our family physician most of tho
time. but did not seem to get better.
II was completely rundown and was
not able to do my work about the honso.
NY blood was impure and my complex
ion pale. l suffered from flashes OF
heat, followed suddenly by chills. I
had awful headaches, which lasted from
three to four days. l could get but little
rest at night, us my sleep was broken
and fitful. As result l lost several
pounds in weight and became very ner-
vous.
Il was in wretched condition when
I heard about DIR. Williams Pink Pills.

was encouraged by this to keep on until
was cured. My friends and neighbors
often remark what changed woman

Pink Pills" "
These wonderful pills arc useful in y
wide range of diseases such ns nnI&,ia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ata1i1
and partial paralysis.
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
! make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion OF the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ u
stimulated to do its work.
