EnsaIada Mixta,

This is a refreshing Cuban salad.
On foundation of crisp lettuce leaves
place bits of cold boiled potatoes,
string beans, asparagus, slices of raw
onion, also of green sweet peppers,
olives, cold boiled eggs and radishes.
Pour over all dressing of oil, salt,
pepper and vinegar. This is a good
way to use small quantities of vege-
tables left over, as corn, peas, beets
and other things add to the toothsome-
ness of it. A little care in arranging
makes also pretty dish.

WASHING Dishes Made Easy.

Put dish pan half full of water
on the stove when you begin to get
dinner. AS you use a pan or dish
wash it and put it away. Lastly wash
frying pans and kettles, then throw
out water. After dinner you will not
have such a discouraging looking
kitchen. There will be no pans or
kettles with dried food to be soaked
out, and the dishes from the dining
room are easily washed.

An EnterprIsIna Salesman.

On the tenth anniversary OF his
wedding, a merchant In Washington

offered for inspection varied assort-
ment OF books, particularly dwelling
on the beauty and value OF a new edi-
tlon OF the Bible. Ho sald
II have been told that this Is your

mako no better present to your wife
than a family Bible. and this splendid

He made the sale. giving n beauti-
ful imitation morocco case, which he
claimed was genuine. Then he has
tened TO tho home OF the merchant.
and, using the same argument, induced
the wife TO buy another edition OF
the family Bible as an appropriate we'd

friend hastened 10 the depot, caught
the book agent, delivered the message
and insisted upon the agent delaying
his departure. Tho willy fellow, full OF
business, replied:
II offered him n copy OF this Bible
for $40 and he put II off for the time,
I am very sure that he has repented
and wants copy as wedding present
for his wife. He has undoubtedly told
her OF the bargain. and she wants II.

signals are unheeded, there comes a
steady, dull heavy aching in the back
and loins, noticeable weakness and loss
of flesh, rheumatic attacks, weakening
of the sight, irregular heart action, lam
guor, attacks of gravel, irregular passages
of the kidney secretions, sediment, pain
full, scalding sensation, dropsical bloat-
ing, etc. But there is no need to suffer
long. Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kid
ney troubles. This remedy has made a
