I RrusKes,I as every good housewife

TO The housewife who has tried to re-

appeal. The handle ia long, and. the

way Of a furniture brush, the bristles
being graduated m size, the center
ones being the longest, which permits
the user to remove the dust from the
creyfces and buttons of the furniture.
I Feather busters are as old as@diist

some persons as the most essential of
dirt exterminators. New ideas are
being worked into the manufacture
OF these busters all the time. One of
the many good points in their favor is
the detachable handle. III

You find charred pears in the
kitchen heaps OF middle Europe,
where the lake villages used to be.
These remnants date back of the ap-
pie, and SO far as we can discover the
pear was the very first one of this
wonderful family to become of impor-
lance to human beings In fact, 1t
seems probable that an eatable pear
or possibly a cookable pear was in
possession of our ancestors good
while before there were eatable ap-
Piles or even cherries, plums and pos
sibly even Strawberries BUT the
whole pear family was just as surely
working Up toward civilized and gar
-den conditions as human beings them
selves. Evolution1 has brought us

hcident which ehappened(?)' a short
thine ago. There was a man travel
ing through Greene County, whom
we will call Cordes, Late one eve
ming he stopped at farmhouse
near a little town not far from, Nc
Lain and asked of the farmer if he
could remain overnight with him.
! The reply was, that he could, pro-
Evided he put up with such fare as
he could provide, which was readi-
lily accepted. After putting, his
horse in the stable and giving him
a big armful of potato vine hay,
they repaired to the, house where
they sat down rtola bountiful repast
of sweet potatoes prepared in many
styles some of which were fried
potatoes, baked potatoes, boiled
potatoes, stewed potatoes, potato
bread, potato custard and potato
pies, besides a few more extra big
ones on the table for ornaments.
Of all this Mr.. Cordes took a heavy
charge; besides drinking six big
cups of coffee made @ from potatoes
that had been cut and dried and
then parched. When asked to take
another cup Of coffee he declined
with thanks, saying much coffee
did not agree with him as it seem
ed to give him a feeling of full
ness, Soon after the family retired
to sleep, they were awakened by a
groan hkega @ sick hon Sc. A little
search proved it to be IL Mr.. Cordes
with a severe case of the collie,
which was soon relieved by drink
ing three cups of green potato vine
tea. Since that time Mr. Cordes has
had a great deal to say on the
subject of - :. taters. OF ii jaauo-I =.
