"Vallpvan." who fixes for them the kind
of wood that they should cut and take

Tamil new year day, which falls about

assembled for the purpose he proceeds to
the forest, where he worships the tree he
is about to cut by burning the incense and
the camphor and offering the planta ms
and the coaconut. Then he lops off the
first branch. taking good care that it falls
on the right side. In each year the side
is different. Prosperity to himself and his
cattle Is firmly believed to depend very

ISN'T IT WONDERFUL.

Comparatively speaking only a
few years ago. people were com
PEELED to spend a week or a month
on the read TO travel a hundred or
so miles. Great hardshias attend
ed these journeys the nights had to
be spent in the open because the
country was not settled thickly
enough to allow travellers the luxury
TO sleep in bed under n roof Vari-
Gus inventions. such as the locomo-
tive, the parlor and sleeping cars
make it a luxury TO travel today.
Work of all kinds has been made
easier for everyone. All are aware
of this. Yet, housekeepers drudge
along with their work i'm the old
way, when they could by merely us
ing the many suggestions which arr
put before them, make play Of their
work. The Bluefeld Daily Leader
has. by special arrangement. Sc
cured the distribution of work
which now is in many homes. None
OF the owners of the work would
think of being without 1t again at
any price. The name of this great
work is the Consolidated Library of
Cooking and Household Recipes.
More than 5000 practical recipes
are contained in its five volumes.
suggestions of the greatest impor-
lance to every housekeeper are
found here by the hundred; all of
these have been tried and proven
themselves to be of the greatest
help and to tighten the work of the
