Cooking Cabbage.

Do you know that cabbage may be
boiled without emitting that objection
able odor which so often causes us to
drop that vegetable from our menu:
The method is a very simple one and
we'll worth trying. Into the nidst OF
the cabbage place good sized onion
which has been peeled: then on top
place slices of stale bread cut thick.
Do not add too much water to the
cabbage at one time, or 1t will soak the
bread and cause it to separate and
mix with the cabbage. but, rather. add
water from time to time in course of
the boiling process.
Upon the back of the stove, where II
will just simmer. set a small vessel
containing vinegar and sugar.
The bread and onion absorb the odor,
and the vinegar and sugar are pre-
caution to make assurance doubly sure.

ScalIoped Ends More Fashionable

The woman who is deft with her
needle may indulge in pretty towels
whether her purse is long or not, for
there is no end of hand work used to
beautify towels in these days. One of
the prettiest methods and at the same
time one Of the most practical is seal
loping. The plain huckaback is got anu
the ends done in the simplest form Of
scallop. heavily padded With quar-
ter to mark the scallops and a line
drawn across the end to keep them
even. the marking may be done at
home. Instead of the fringe SO pop
ular few years ago, many OF the
handsomest towels are finished with
hemstitched hem or with embroid-
cry or with Irish lace. although the
latter is very expensive. The very
large towels are out of fashion, the
favorte size being about twenty-five
inches wide by forty long. Hand
towels come in several sizes. the small
est of which is fourteen inches wide
and twenty-four long. Drawn work
rs trimming for towels offers nu-
merous possibilities to the woman who
can do it well. and so does embroid-
cry work. Both Irish and German en-
broidery are popular. All embroidery
is of the variety known as blind. and
the designs are not too elaborate.

Rest, and when you reSt-rest. Dive
down into your brain and turn all the
corners inside out and find what your

Be not one Of those unfortunates
who think that rest consists Of sitting
still. whether you want to or no. and
who do not realize that out Of a
hundred people sixty-eight different
conceptions. of repose will be found.
Have you ever heard Of the stage

driven stage in tine Cumberland

years ana one day took the notion that
he needed rest.

ZIG BOOST FOR GOOD ROADS
Plan to Held Monster Meeting In St.
Paul In December.

Unless something unforeseen occurs
st. Faul will probably entertain some
time next December the biggest good
roads meeting ever held in Minnesota
or the surrounding states. George W.
Cooley. state highway engineer. Is
planning on such u meeting. and If the
necessary arrangement can be made.
as now seems probable. 1t will be held.
The ilea OF holding Il monster good
roads meeting WAS conceived by MIR.
Cooley after the meeting recently held
III st. Paul. to which the county COM
missioners as we'll as others interested
in gond roads were invited. This mees- :
ing showed the widespread interest
taken in the matter throughout the
state. He expected between 100 and
POO to attend but the attendance grew
to about 500. says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. The same feeling has been
shown in the meetings which he has
addressed in the smaller. towns
throughout the state. the farmers COM
ing in to attend the meetings in large
numbers and showing an active inter-
est in the coed rord problem.
IF the meeting is held it will cover
the field thoroughly" said Mr.. Cooley.
ut will be an exposition Of roadnak-
ing machinery and materials. with
practical talks by men of wide expert
eace in the various details of the work.
In IL large meeting Of this kind much
better results can be obtained than by
the smaller local meetings because in
such meeting as we expect to hold
the manufacturers will have exhibits
of all kinds of machinery used in road
making, and we can have speakers of
wide experience at such 4 meeting
which is impossible for all of the
smaller meetings. A question box
would be feature, and through this
means any one confronted by special.
problems in roadmaking would be
able to get the advice of the men quail.
fed to give it.
'I have not yet decided definitely on
the plan. but there is q generaf de-
mand for such meeting, and II 1t
can possibly be done the plans will be
carried out"
MIR. Cooley's plan is to eliminate the
"hot air" talks about good roads gen.
orally and to make it an instructive
meeting by having men go to st. PAU
who know about the practical details
Of roadmaking Those who will go
will do so for the purpose Of learning
something about the building OF good
roads, and it is the intention TO meet
this expectation fully. The meeting
will probably last one week. The eX-
hibits will cover stone crushers, road
rollers. steel and concrete bridge work.
cuverts and all sorts Of machinery
and material used in road building.

Vixen Cookins Potatoes.

To make potatoes as nouriShing as
possible we should, after thoroughly
brushing and cleaning the outside,
steam them in their jackets. Then
when cooked remove the skins, return
them to the steamer for few min
utes to be heated and eat them with
some form of fat.
Baking potatoes is an excellent way
of preserving all the nutritious quail
ties OF the tuber. Wash and scrub
quite clean,' then lay. them On the
shelf Of q fairly hot oven. They
should be turned over once or twice
during the process Of cooking. Time
from one and half hours to two
hours.
Pinch them, and if soft and yield
in- they are sufficiently cooked. y
small piece may be cut out of the end
of each potato and little butter, SALT
pepper and onion juice inserted and
then the piece replaced. A sprig OF
mint in the water is. when boiling po-
tatoeS, a great Improvement.

any community. state or nation and.
finally. are an index to the intelligence.
prosperity and activity Of the people.
All these points are in legitimate
support Of the construction and main
tenance of good roads. says the South
ern Cultivator. Many other reasons
might be cited in their favor. 1t does
seem anomalous that, amid all our
boastcd national progress. this great
necessity Of modern civilization should
be kept so far in the background.
The nation needs better and more
substantial highways, and it is hope
full to see indications that this subject
will soon receive more attention from
our national and state lawmakers than
heretofore. The Importance of good
rural highways is being more thor
oughly recognized by business men and
legislators than ever before, and the
farmers need no argument to convince
them that better roads Will improve
their business materially.

him to doctor and tried half dozen
other treatments, all with the Same
result: no improvement at all. Ihe
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
We had to strap him down in bed, for
he used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep. The agony he went through
is quite beyond words. No one thought
we would rear him. The reglmental
doctor, very clever man, pronounced
the case hopeless; at least, he said the
only hope was that he might, II he
lived long enough, outgroW 1t to some
extent. We had him in hospitals four
times and he was pronounced one OF
the worst cases, if not the worst, ever
admitted. From each ne was dis
charged as incurable; in fact he got
worse under the successive treatments.
At one hospital they incased him in
plaster, and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. BE looked so
badly that no one liked to 60 near him
and his life was burden to him. We
kept trying remedy after remedy. but
we had got almost past hoping for q
cure. Six months ago we purchased
8 set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent Pills and persevered with
them. The result was truly marvellous
and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin
not having blemish on it anywhere.
