AsToN1sHED THE DOCTOR

Old lady Got Well with Change of
Food.
A great scientist has said we can put
OF 'old age" If we can only nourish
the body properly.
To do this the right kind OF food. OF
course, is necessary. The body manu-
features poisons in the stomach and In
testines from certain kinds Of food
stuffs and unless sufficient Of the right
kind is used, the injurious elements
overcome the good.
"!My grandmother, II years DID,"
writes a N. Y. lady, had been m in
valid for 10 years from what was called
consumption Of the stomach and bow
els. The doctor had given her up to
die.
81 saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that l persuaded Grandmother to try
It. She could not keep anything on her
stomach for more than a few minutes.
"She began Grape-Nuts with only a
~teaspoonful. AS that did not distress
her and as she could retain it, she took
a little more until h could take all Of
4 ~teaspoonfuls at q meal.
Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for n so old and we know
Grape-Nuts saved her life.

stead Of dying she got well, and with
out a drop Of medicine after she began
the Grape-Nuts." There's a Reason"

GENERAL SURVEY Of
FASHIONABLE MODES
Directoire Ideas Adapted to All
Parts Of Costume This
Season.


The directoire styles have now to be
reckoned with. but no woman OF prop
err taste in dress will forget that there
many occasions when they must
either be greatly modified or forced In
to allegiance altogether. The tight,
clinging skirts, If worn properly, do not
lend themselves TO ordinary pursuits.
nor even to street wear. for they only
look well when allowed to trail, n
that is only possible In the house or
on grass lawns. But worn they Will be
by all and sundry who hug thei fet-
tiers of their own making Ia their blind
anxiety to be in the fashion, irrespec-
tive of suitability. The loose, long
tailed coats, which are essentially di-
rectoire. hardly look amiss on any cos
tune, nor for any occasion.
Fancy a dull, purple suit worn with
q hat OF Indian red trimmed with pur-
pie n rosesl and q blouse OF the same
red: you may imagine it rather dread
ably chosen and blended the result was
Very smart, but such q color scheme
can come to hopeless grief in incapable
hands.
Decorating tho Net.
Plain square meshed filet net is the
foundation OF many lovely g~arnitures
and enlpiecements on the autumn
gowns. This net lends itself admirably
to establishment with the narrow
soutaches and ribbon embroidery en-
HANGED with needlework in satin stitch.
To execute this work the square mesh
foundation, whether machine or n
made, is usually stretched on an oblong
or square wire foundation, and on IT Is
invariably sewn according to design the
meandering ribbon, knotted at intervals
in the ann of a lovers knot, from
which springs out q graceful spray Of
lily Of the valley. fOrget-me-nots, or
other fiorets. These decorative sprays
are embroidered with satin and stem
stitches as 500 as h ribbon work Is
finished. However. for this second part
of the work h piece of netting has
to be tackled on some solid foundation
of linen cloth. or any material. which
Is cut away after the padded flowers
have been we'll modelled with the
needle and cotton or silk, which has
evidently to be carried through both
the square meshes and the backing.
In utilizing these suggestions In turn
Ing out a handsome yoke or trimming
for an autumn frock.
Vests and Revers.
Vests for the directoire coats are gem
orally of a different material and color
from that of the suit. A lovely conbi-
nation is a vestee of lime green satin
or OF a copper colored suede with a
Jacket of dull green. These colors are
beautifully combined with collar and
long jabot of soft Chantilly lace. The
tight cuffs must have a ueep frill OF the
same lace. almost covering the hand.
Then, too, the evers Of the direc-
toire coat must be very carefully exc
cuted in regard to the proper. lines, the
same as the vest. The least error In
correct proportion takes away from
their effectiveness and quickly carica-
lures the style.

PICKLES AND PRESERVES;
A FEW SUGGESTIONS
Have Fruit Jars Ready

E1aVe TFutI Jars neaoys
In winter. as each jar OF fruit is
opened for use, the jar and top should
be washed and thoroughly dried, then
the top screwed back on the Jar and
set away for the next summer. When
the time comes In hot weather to put
up fruit the jars simply nave to be
rinsed u on the outside. This saves
the dreaded work Of washing Jars and
tops.
Crisp Gherkins.
1t you will add one t~easpoonful OF
powdered alum to your vinegar for
small cucumber pickles it will keep
them green n also snappy and crisp
like fresh cucumbers.
Jelly Covers.
White paper covered on one side with
white of egg will make a good substi-
tute for jelly glass covers to jelly.
Save Fruit Juice.
When canning or splicing fruits save
he surplus juice in alright jars and
when you make your home made mince
meat pour these juices into the mince
meat. You will find this saves sugar
and at the same time gives the mince
meat a richer flavor.
Hint for Preserving.
Take a silver fork and prick holes
in the skin of peaches or plums. That
will keen the skin from cracking and
coming off when canned.
Preserve Catsup Color.
At this time of the year. when
kitchens are permeated with the odor
Of cooking catsup. this suggestion may
be in order: Keep the skins removed
from the tomatoes. dry in the sun or
oven. then pulverize the dried skins.
and when catsup is about ready to bot
tie add the powder. This will retain
the tomato red color, which catsup so
often loses.
Canned Grapes.
Wash and separate the skin and pulp
as usual. put the pulp through d col
ander to get the seeds out, then, in
stead OF putting the skins in whole.
put them through a God chopper,
which makes them just the right size
and does away with the large. tough
skins otherwise found in grape sauce.
This makes the sauce extremely good
and Is an excellent idea.

One pang-and I shall rend the thrall
Where grief abides.
And generous Death will show me all

And, lucid in that second birth,
I shall discern

Have died to learn.

HOW 70 INCREASE conn YIELD

HOW TO INCREASE CORN YIELD
The minnesota farmers institute
bureau gives the following pointers on
corn raising.
The total cost Of growing and har-
vesting an acre Of corn ts between
SO and s12. It therefore takes 81
or 40 bushels at the average price OF
80 cents to the cost OF produc-
ton.
The yield OF corn depends. first, upon
he fertility OF the soil; second. meth
cd OF tillage and cultivation; third,
character OF seed corn; fourth. weather,
conditions. Three Of these conditions
farmers can control. Character OF
seed Is the most important factor Of
all.
One 1o-ounce ear per hill will give
a yield OF % bushels per acre; two
10-ounce ears Sc bushels, and three
"a bushels. The average yield OF
corn In Minnesota is about 80 bushels,
per acre. We are growing about one

Ponds upon the quality of seed corn
One OF the most desirable places from
which to get seed corn for any farm
Is from the field of corn grown on that
farm. Select at husking time a few
Of the best ears as they are found on
good stalks. and place them in a bas-
ket or sack. If it is desired to get a
variety to ripen earlier, go through
the field before all the corn Is ripe
and select good ears that ripened first.
This will probably reduce the size of
the corn but 1t will make 1t earlier.
AS shown by the above figures, large
ears of corn are not necessary % get
q large Yield. A good WELD depands,
on a good stand of ak that win
pear ripe ears.
When seed corn Is selected in the
fall it should be placed where 1t win
dry out quickly, where it cannot, heat
and where it will not freeze. The at
tic owe the kitchen is q very good
place for seed corn. Every corn grow
er should have his aim set for 100
bushels per acre. 1t can be realized
in a large part of Minnesota.
