Penalties Of Eatinc.

A Washington physician one morn
ing was summoned by patient whose
eccentricities OF diet had required
calling him many times before: but on
this occasion the patient was unusu-
ally frank about the cause of his trou-

from him In lugubrious tones. "Ex-
perience teaches one what he can eat
and what he can't eat. Last night /

For the Nursery.

The walls of the nursery are gigan-
tic picture books nowadays, and the
small occupant dwells in land OF pic
toral fairy tales, Mother Goose stories
and all sorts of quaint fancies, rang
ing from rabbits tc stories of the cru
sades. The variety of subjects now to
be procured for nursery wall papers is
so tempting that it is difficult to make
a choice.
One of the newest designs stows as
a base wooden fence, with almost
life-size children peeping through, with
a background full of all sorts OF inter-
esting pictures to amuse the little peo-
pie.
If one does not care for such pat
tern to cover the walls entirels, which
in the case of bedroom would not,
perhaps, be particularly judiclous, the
border may be allegorical and the side

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 go 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 Is min
utes to insure even baking. If they
show signs of browning too rapidly
cover with oiled paper. In 40 or 50
minutes a loaf will shrink somewhat
and slip easily from the pan. When
we'll baked an empty, hollow sound
will follow a 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 loa1.
Never leave loaves in pans or on
pine table to sweat or absorb the odor
of the wood. If you like crisp crust
do not cover the loaves when cooling,
but if you prefer soft, tender consist

cloth. When perfectly dry and cold

A rule briefly summarized, then, for
a plain white bread to be baked in one

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

in some of the lukewarm water or
milk, add shortening, put in flour to
make as stiff a 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 f1oured
board and knead from 15 to 20 min

or three hours will be required for

possible, let rise to double it's bulk,

PAUL HAD HIS OWN IDEA.
Fathers Explanation of Lightning Not
Satisfactory to Him.

Little Paul was four years old when
the western city in which he lived was
swept one night by terrible storm.
Wind, thunder and lightning played
havoc, and, while other members of
the family were huddled in dark cor
ners, Paul watched the illumination of
the sky with great delight The next
morning at breakfast he asked his
father what caused the streaks of fire
across the sky, and his father, with
great pains, essayed to explain. Paul
listened attentively and apparently
accepted what was told him, but when
he found attention diverted from him.
self, he leaned over to his aunt, who
sat beside him, and whispered:

STOMACH ON STRIKE
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
FOR INDIGESTION.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Cured This
Woman and Have Cured Many
Hundreds Of Other Cases Of
Eonanan Ailments

Loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth. heavy dull headache
and a dull, sluggish feeling these are
the symptoms of stomach trouble. They
Indicate that the stomach is on q strike;
that it is no longer furnishing to the
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 the stomach is
humored by the use of predigested foods
and artificial ferments, and the new one
by which the stomach is toned up to DO
the work which nature intended OF 1t.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment IS
that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, OF 81
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says:
Il suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backaches
and was confined to my bed the greater
part of three years. l was under the
care of our family physician most OF the

Pink Pills"
These wonderful pills are useful in a
wide range of diseases SUCH as anRmia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia
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 is
stimulated to do its work.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, 80 cents per box, six boxes for
$3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
