ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Suggestions as to the Diet of Aged
Persons-Notes.


Personalities.
When people become old and in
active much less food is required.
1t should be light and easily di-
gested. Variety in the mode of
cooking and serving the food should
be sought for.
A small amount of meat plainly
cooked may be given once day, but
never give reheated meat to an old
person or fried food of any kind.
Poultry, game and fish are better
than meat, which is often % stim-
ulating.
Well cooked potatoes and green
vegetables may be served; also veg
etable soups, cream soups and sim
pie meat broths, milk puddings, GUS
tards, soft cooked eggs, stewed
fruit, tea not too strong and light
cocoa.
Irritants, such as condiments,
acids, highly seasoned sauces, etc,
should be avoided. Well cooked ce-
reals, with a little cream, are excel
lent for the evening meal, but if not
we'll cooked there are few foods
more clogging to the digestiye or
gans. Bread should be two days
old, and only plain cake should be
allowed

CARE OF THE TURKEYS.
Some Valuable Suggestions From a
Widely Known Expert.

some valuable Suggestions from q
Widely Known Expert.
Mrs. Charles Jones Of Pawpaw. ILL.,,
has the following in the Poultry
Keeper:
In the fall turkeys need very little
care. as they do best to have Il large
range and pick up their own living.
They are very healthy ut that time Of
the year. and there is only one trouble
to contend with, and that is where
they have access to un oats field where
the oats have been thrashed. as they
cut 50 much of the grain that it fills
the gizzard so full that the food can
not he digested. | have opened chick
ems that have gorged themselves with
oats until their gizzards were SO pack
ed that the food could not move off,
and the consequence was death.
For bowel troubles. which turkeys
sometimes have, have given olive or
linseed oil in large doses about three
times. After the last dose is given at
night give quinine.
Heavy toms are liable to have bum
BILE foot, which is caused by jumping
down from high places where they
roost For this trouble | have soaked
the foot and put on poultlce, but thi"
does not work well, as turkey has st
much blood in its foot that the pOultice
draws the blood to the foot. and II
makes matters worse. | have a case
that | am trying cO!u salve on and
think it will help to make a cure.
AS one extreme in the seasons usual
| ly Is followed hy other extremes, We
may hope for Il good year next year in
our turkey crop, ard evidently every
one thinks so. as the demand for
breeding stock is already large. To fit
| turkeys for the show room or the mar
| ket requires about the same treatment.
Let them have their liberty and pick
up their own living, with access to
clear water and sharp grit, with plenty
of coarse grit Tor mature turkeys.
| never feed my turkeys until the
| ground freezes. rs they pick up the
grain where the stock is fed. Turkeys
intended for market can be kept con-
fined for about ten days and fed fat
tening food, and have never found
anything to put on weight equal to
new corn boiled several hours and fed
Il little warm. not hot. as ! think hot
maSheS the cause of roup. as | used to
have roup in turkeys and chickens, and
since | have cut out warm maShes
have never had the roup in my tlocks
1t has been several years since | have
even had symptom Of it. Warm, dry
houses and dry feed will avoid roup.

The mustard had welded California

mistress of FL Rosa. You are the

came directly TO me, somewhat timid-
ly, but with no indication of nervous
ness. She caught up tiny book faS-

rapidly:

Jeffries' Latest Grafton.

Jim .JeffrieS made the strongest state
ment of his career the other day to the
effect that he had permanently retired
from the ring. He says that there is
but one chance for him to enter the
ring and that only in the event of his
again becoming penniIess. He believes
that the average man is worth ~ a
day from his neck down and for that
reason would prefer to fight than to
labor if he should ever go broke, and
he says there is hardly chance Of
that happening.
The most surprising thing Jeff said
was that he believed IL Burns and
Johnson ever met the black would win
and if he did and thus became the
champion of the world that he would
never fight him or any other negro,
When he decided to retire, he says, he
gave out the statement that If suit
able man was found within year he
would fight again, but that such a
man was not found and that he then
retired permanently.

For the Complexion.

Nothing cleanses the skin like
steaming. Do it this way if you
would avoid wrinkles: Take a basin
of water softened with a pinch of
borax and place it where it will
keep hot. Have ready some long
strip ps of cloth and dip these in the
hot water. Bind on the face and
leave on until the skin begins to
perspire freely. In short time the
moisture will break out as though
in Turkish bath. The face is be-
ing cleansed. Finish with a skin

ter.
