We could not see the fire now, but
the smoke streamed blood red over

Cream Salad DRESSING.

This is considered by many to be
better than mayonnaise, and in the
country, where there is plentiful sup
ply Of eggs, and good olive oil is hard
to get. this dressing is an excellent
substitute. Here is the recipe: Bake
the yolks of six eggs with half cup

full of vinegar and cook in a double
boiler until it thickens. Remove from
the stove and while still hot add a table
spoonful of butter and tablespoon
full of mustard, having first blended

AsToNIsHED 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
intestines 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 an in
valid for IS years from what was
called consumption of the stomach and
bowels. The doctor had given her up
to die.
Il saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that | 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
teaspoonfuI AS that did not distress
her and as she could retain it, she took
a little more until she could take ali OF
4 teaspoonfuls at a meal.
3Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.

It is the mistaken notion that stufing
ones self with so-called fattening foods
will increase avoirdupois. That has been
tried often, without success. Men cannot
be fattened, like cattle, merely by increas-
ing their food supply. Why that is SC
is plain. Domesticated animals are given 6
certain amount of food that keeps them at
certain weight; but they can usually di
gest more than is furnished. Consequently
a greater supply makes more weight. Most
persons, however, eat habitually as much
as they desire; So in their case, increasing
the amount increases merely the overflow
