Many thanks to Aunt Emma for these
seasonaoie hints on picnic dinners.
ABOUT THE Picnic DINNER.
The picnic season is here and that means
that new ideas for picric dishes are in de-
mand. The housekeeper who has picnic
dinner to prepare for the Fourth Of july or
for any other occasion will probably welcome
the following suggestions for dishes that are
out Of the ordinary. While almost anything
tastes good wheu the appetite is sharpened by
G day in the woods and by the novelty of eat
ing from a cloth spread on the grass one
grows rather tired of the same kind OF sand
witches, cake and lemonade at every picnic.
So here are some suggestions that will help
out the variety.
PACKING THE LUNCH BASKET.
1t is best to carry the bread to the picnic
uncut and to make the sandwiches Just be-
fore dinner time.
Garry the milk or cream in u stone jug and
piace in running water If possible or where
it viii keep cool until dinner time.
When nice layer cakes are wanted put each
layer on wooden plate. with piece of waxed
paper between. Prepare the filing and carry
in glass jar, spreading it on the cake at
luncheon time.
The picnic basket always seems load when
carried home at night by the weary picnick-
ers. If you use wooden plates and paper
napkins II leaves fewer soiled dishes to worry
with on the return trip.
You can have pie for the picnic dinner If
you win bake it this way: Use any fruit de-
sired. Bake with two crusts. Wiring clean
strip of white cloth out of sweet milk and fit
it closely around the edge of the pie and
plate. After the top crust is on, cut n small
hole in the upper crust and insert funnel
made Of writing paper Bake with the cloth
and funnel in place and leave the cloth after
the pie is baked. In this way the picnic pie
can be safely carried without splitting it's
juicy contents over the rest of the eatables If
you are careful in packing he basket.

"Good news travels FAST" and t he thou
sands of bad back sufferers in Ellsworth
are glad to learn that prompt relief is
within their reach. Many a lame, weak
and aching back is bad no more, thanks to
Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are
telling the good news OF their experience
with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an
example worth reading:
Mrs. John c. Meader, living at West
Ellsworth, Me-, says: ~ was so well
pleased with the benefits derived from the
use Of Doan's Kidney Pills in the spring
of 1902, that gave testimonial at that
time recommending them. For several
years my back was weak and sore and I
found it difficult to stoop or get up or
down from chair. / had such pains in
my kidneys at times that they felt like
thrusts OF knife, and the pains often ex-
tended up through my shoulders. There
was irregular action of the secretiops
which caused me much Inconvenience.
and though doctored and used different
medicines, nothing did me much good
until ! got Doan's Kidney Pills at E. q.
Moore's drug store. 1t required but a
short use Of them to free me fro N the pain
and to correct the difficulties. My daugh-
ter complained OF having pains in her
back, and as had Doan's Kidney Pills in
the house at that time, gave her some.
She, like myself, received much benefit
| can say that in my case the cure has been
permanent, as have not required the use
u any klohey remedy during the two and
