EYEsIaHT WAS IN DANGER

From Terrible Ecsema-Baby's Head
N Mass Of Itching Rash and Sores
-Dfsease Cured by C~uticura.
"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within FIVE days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but 1t got worse instead OF
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall of.
She suffered terribly, and would scratch
until the blood came. This went ON
until she was five months old, then i
had her under our family doctors care,
but she continued to grow worse. He
said 1t was eczema. When she was
seven months old | started to use the
Cuticura Remedies and in two months
our baby was a different girl. You
could not see a sign OF a sore and she
was as fair as a newborn baby. She
has not had a sign of the eczema since.

Dear dog, that seems to stand and gravely
Upon the broad veranda OF our home,
With soulful eyes that gaze into the
gloam,
With Speaking tail that registers thy
mood,
Men say thou hast no ratiocination;
Methinks there is a clever imitation.
Men say again thy kindred have no souls,
And sin is but an attribute of man;
Say. Is it chance alone that bids thee.
Choose only garden spots for digging
holes?
why dost thou hich some agmen of
At times when no one seemeth to be
looking?
Was there an early Adam OF thy race.
And brindled Eve, the mother of thy
house,
WHO shared some purloined chicken
with her spouse,
Thus causing all thy tribe to fall from
If neas dwelt In the garden or tina
Perhaps thy sinless parents never had

This morn thou cam'st ~a-slinking through
the door,
Avoiding eyes, and some dark corner
sought,
And though no accusation filed our
thought,
Thy tail, apologize. thumped the floor.
Who claims thou hast no conscience ar
CUES yainly,
For l have seen its symptoms very
plainly.
What leads thee to forsake they board
and bed
On days that are devoted to thy bath?
For, IL IL is not reason, yet 1t hath
Appearance OF desire to plan ahead!
The sage who claims thy brain and soul
be wien
Would do quite well to swap thy head for
hisn.

NiQht SWeatS & Cough.

E. w. Walton, Condr. 8. p. Ry. ut
Van Ness ST., San Antonio, Tex,
writes: During the summer and fall
of 1902, my annoyance from catarrh
reached thai stage where 1T was actual
misery and developed alarming symp-
toms, such as a very deep-seated cough,
night sweats, and pains In the head and
chest. 1 experimental with several So
called remedies before / finally decided
to take . thorough purse of Peruna.
"Twoof my friends had gone so far as
to inform me that the thing for me to do
was to resign my position and seek q
higher, more congenial climate. Every
one thought / had consumption and l
was not expected to live very long.
"Having procured some P~eruna, / de-
cided to give 1t q thorough test and APP
piled myself assiduously to the task OF
taking it, as per instructions, in the
meantime.
"The effects were SOC apparent, all
alarming symptoms disappeared and
my general health became fully as good
rs it had ever been in my life.
"I have resorted to the use Of Peruna-
on two or three occasions since that
time to cure myself of bad colds"

PIES AND CAKES;
THREE GOOD RECIPES
Banana Pie,

When baking pies make an extra
crust. bake by placing over the bottom
OF a pie tin. Slip an extra tin under
the one on which our crust is placed
to keep the edges from burning. Be
fore wanted slice bananas thin. sweet
en- and place in crust. Whip cream,
sweeten a little, flavor with lemon ex-
tract, and place on top. The White Of
an egg may be used for the top instead
Of cream or small fruit instead of ba-
nanas. Put small cup of sugar over
fire with a little water as for icing, boil
TO a syrup, and pour over the fruit hot;
let cool, and put in crust with either
top preferred. This is q nice way to
sweeten fruit n If tried will be liked.
Keep Layer Cake Together.
To keep the top layer Of a cake from
sliding off when frosting, thrust a clean
steel hatpin through both layers. BY so
doing one can cover both top and sides
of cake nicely.
Prune Pie.
Soak two cups Of prunes in cold
water over night, seed them, add one
half cup of ~raisins, the grated rind and
a few drops Of juice Of a lemon.
Sweeten to taste and cook till tender.
Bake with two crusts. This will make
two pies.
Cookie Baking.
When ready to roll cookies or any
soft dough spread piece Of cloth over
kneading board, dredge thickly with
flour and drop your dough upon this
from the spoon Flour rolling pin, pat
your dough in shape with spoon, dredge
with flour, roll out. BY this little trick
your cakes will not stick to the board
and you have not ruffied your temper
or ruined you cookies.

Marine insurance is the Oldest kind Of
modern insurance. It's principles were
first employed in the 18th century by the
merchants Of Barcelona, in Spain, when
that city was the capital of the kingdom
of Catalonia, and when it's hardy mariners
were second to nom in the world. About
the same time, and also at Barcelona, the
famous code of maritime avs known as
the "consulado del mar" was promul-
gated, which is the foundation of the
present shipping laws of every country.

Solitude.

The solitude Of hills, or OF the sea,
The solitude Of dense far-stretching
woods,
naught In them of loneliness for me,
Who love the songs Of elemental moods.
But in the city streets, where myriad feet
Pass here and yon in hurried onward
press,
TITS there / find a wilderness complete.
And taste the woes OF utter loneliness.

CALIFORNIA ROAST; AN
EASILY COOKED DINNER
California Roast.

Select three pounds of round steak,
cut three inches thick, lay fiat on table
and pound thoroughly into ii OF each
side one cup of flour, using edge OF
dinner plate; salt and peppe to taste.
Place in hot spider and brown Doth
sides. Remove from spider and place
in well buttered baking pan, keeping
plenty OF water in same. Bake for
two hours In hot oven. When lone lay
on platter, pour over roast thick brown
gravy n garnish with sliced onions
and parsley. This makes an %inexpen-
sive and tender roast.
Easily Cooked Dinner.
Take a two gallon butter jar. one
that is as wide as it is high. Wash the
roast. season to taste. place into the
jar dry" with no water whatever.
to keep the steam In. Place the jar
on an asbestos mat over a slow coal
fire or gas burner at 8: 80 a. m. without
a second thought about your roast un-
til noon, n you will find IL beautifully
done. The gravy juice is golden brown
and ready for thickening while the po-
tatoes are boiling.
No gravies compare in flavor and
smoothness to this kind. Even the
cheapest cuts OF meats become tender
and delicious with this treatment and
the process needs no watching" or
Blasting" at any time.
The estimates for cooking are as fol-
lows: Beef, 30 to 40 minutes; pork, 20
to 80; lamb, 20 TO rs; chicken, 30 to 35;
tame duck, 40 to so; wild duck, 80 to 40.
Tender Roasts.
To keep roasts from burning and
make them tender and p~alatable place
a small pan OF vinegar in the oven.
This applies to all roasts. To keep a
fish compact and solid while baking
pour over a good sized fish about three
tablespoonfuls OF vinegar. 1t also gives
an excellent taste.

Only a Up.
From Warwick James

From Warwick James Price.
The Best Man thought he'd take a
look around and see that everything
was running as a fastidious bride would
wish IL, and up in the room where the
presents were displayed, alone and un-
happy-looking, he came upon a youth,
seemingly ready, like the wedding guest
Of the English poet, to beat his breast"
He was wandering about, looking at
silver and cut glass without seeing
them, and the Best Man hardly knew
how TO approach him.
"Er-have you kissed the bride?" he
asked at last.
And the answer told far more than
its two meager words might have been
expected to. 1t was: mot lately!"
