Sunday Morning Talk
A Word as to Invalidism.

Notwithstanding all the physicians and
systems of medicine in the world, not
withstanding the pills and the powders,
the message and mental healing treat
ment. the ''chew-yourfood-sl slowly" devices
the rigorous courses in physical exercise
and the prescription respecting diet there
is likely TO be for sometime yet a great
resiluum of invalidism. The sick like the
poor. we have always with US. and when
soever we will we may do them good.
My thought is not so much OF the spo-
radio cases of temporary illness from
which there is comparative speedy recov-
cry. but of the great army of chronic in
valids the 'shut-ins" who require more
or less ministratton from friends or hired
helpers. They are In every part of this
world. some in marble palaces. multitudes
in humble homes some bearing In their
bodies penalties arising from the dissipa-
ton OF their ancestors, and some suffering
the evil consequences of their own ex-
cesses or neglect of the laws OF health.
When one stops to think of this myriad of
incapacitated and unfortunate ones. who
have been set one side from the active
work of life, who recline in darkened
chambers. or who move restlessly from
room 10 room in search of rest and ease.
the heart is almost overwhelmed with ten
der sympathy.
Most of us who read these lines rose
this morning from quiet slumber. re-
freshed and ready for the days tasks, but
TO many another the night hours have
been full of unrest and pain. What
must II be when every nerve is culver
and the slightest sound dsturbs you,
jars them? What must II be never to be
totally free from pain. never to be able to
do what other people do. to go with strong
and eager step for the days work to
mingle freely with others in social festivi-
ties. to be able TO carry through to the
finish some important task
But right here We find our first ex-
PLANTATION of why invalidsm Is allowed

presides. Subtract the sympathy drawn
out by physical suffering and men would
be far less tender and considerable. 1t Is

REMEDY FOR TORN MATING.
Darn with Coiors o. RaHia to Match
Straw.

OIten IN moving a heavy piece OF
furniture the mating on the floor will
nave an ugly hole torn in it. The torn
place Is usually where it is the most
noticeable and cannot be covered with
rug. There is an excellent wav to
remedy this defect by darning the
place with rafiia of colOrs TO match the
mating straw. 1t is much better than
threads and the work can be neatly
zone. 1t may be necessary to run
heaYy cords across the work through
winch the ratHa is to be woven. The
threads are sewcd IN place with a large
earning needle. Torn places on the
edge OF mating can be remedied in
the same manner. 1t is best to sew
mating together with a loose stitch,
using very heavy linen thread for the
purpose, but where this cannot he
done then use the regular mating
tachs or ordinary tacks. placing first
one side, then the opposite side to pre-
vent the baggy appearance which so
oIIen occurs. Never use a claw ham
Iher 10 lift taCks from mating. since il
invariably breaks the straw. Get an
ola blunt chisel, place it beneath the
mattlng and tack head, pound gently
win the hammer and pry the tack up.
Ihls VIII draw the tack out straight
and leave the mating unbroken. If
mating is used in a room during the
winter, cover the floor with paper COW
erlng and pad lightly with newspapers. /

covering of that kind

HINTS FOR THE COOK.

Select dozen or so of the smooth
est and largest splints from the new
broom and lay them away to use in
testing cake when it is baking.
When cutting bread and butter spe-
cially thin, occasionally dip the knife
In hot water. and never draw the knife
over the same place.
When frying fish of any sort little
salt should be sprinkled on the base
OF the pan when it is hot and the fat
Is boiling. The fish can then be easily
turned without being broken.
When cooking chops and steaks in
a frying-pan or on a gridiron, never
thrust a fork into them In order TO
turn them. If you do the juice will
run out and the steak or chop will be
hard or dry.
The dripping from roast meat, the
skimmings from soups, and rendered
down fat from meat trimmings, serve
the same purpose, when clarified thor
oughly as lard or butter Use beef
drippings for basting beef and game,
keep mutton dripping for frying cut
lets, fish. etc
Too rapid boiling makes most vege-
tables tough AS a rule vegetables
should be cooked uncovered.
Rice and macaroni require fast boil
ing.
Too much salt in gravy or soup may
be counteracted by putting in a pinch
Of brown sugar.
When finely chopped nuts are need
ed for salads or sandwiches, run the
nuts through the meat chopper.
