Determine coming events by
planning and thinking. If
you do not own a home,
decide to do so and see
about getting one at once,
by either buying a lot
and building later, or by
getting a home complete.
Are you waiting until times

There are great many phases of
wOnan's ailments that require the as
sistance of the surgeon.
But by far the greatest number of
such cases are anenabIe TO correct
medicinal frea fmenf.
A vast multitude of women have been
relieved from the ailments peculiar to
their sex through the use of Peruna as
prescribed by DR.. Hartman.
He receives many letters from all parts
of the country relating to subjects of
vital interest to womankind.
OF the vast multitude of women DR..
Hartman treats annually, only a small
per cent. of them consider it necessary
to write to the Doctor at all.
While it is not affirmed that Peruna
will relieve every case of this kind, it is
certainly the part of wisdom for every
woman so afflicted to give Peruna a
fair trial.

First, then, let the carver plunge
the fork firmly into the breast of the
turkey He must have a sure hold of
the breastbone If he would operate

Let him then cut off the wing near

knife underneath the socket and is
easily accomplished If the bird be
young and tender.
Remove the leg on the same side in

outward While making the cut. Sep
arate the first and second joints of the
leg and. next remove the side bone by
running the knife along the backbone
and close to It, 1t Is attached only
by filament of skin and fat; hence
this task is not difficult.
Legs and wings being removed, the
slicing of the breast is simple mat

spoon. The removal of the leg usual
ly makes another opening. to be uti-

this model in the competition and
hopes to win the prize.
One Of the peculiar features Of the
new aeroplane is that it folds-a IL
foot model folding to feet and a
40-foot model to Ia feet. 1t Is fitted
with a two-horse power motor, which
was planned and almost wholly built
by Miss Todd herself. The most in

does her work in her 12x14 living
