FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by
Dyspeptic.

It's no. an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep-
sia and can't eat the simplest ordinary
food without causing trouble, the food
question becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
my husbands health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything could
get for him, 1t seemed.
HE was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually. and as
soon as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up in a
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
Tired of everything had been able
to get for him to eat, one day seeing
an advertisement about Grape-Nuts,
got some and tried 1t for breakfast the
next morning
i I'VE all thought It was pretty good
although we had no idea Of using it
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape
Nuts.
| 1T was the same next day and l
had to get 1t right along, because when
we would get to the table the question,
Have you any Grape-Nuts' was reg
! ular thing. So 1 began to buy it by
the dozen pkgs.
/. MY husbands health began to i'm
prove right along. I sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something
thought he would like for change.
and still hear the same old question.
Have you any Grape-Nuts?'
HE got so well that for the last
two years he has hardly lost day
from his work, and we are still using
Grape-Nuts." Read the book. The

Cleaning Plumes.

A woman who has success in clean

cupful of Indian meal, half cupful of
-four and three level tablespoonfuls of
borax into a paper bag, and with II
one large or two or three small feath'

Proper Love for Wife.

when a man really loves his wife
he ought to combine all his incest
sentiments toward other women into
one big sentiment for her.
''He should show her the respect he
feels toward his mother, the polite
ness he shows other women and the
responsibility he feels toward his sis
ter.
''To all of that he should add the
great love he should feel for a wife

For a Card PARTY.

At 800" party to which "a guests
were hidden, the hostess had these
refreshments: Nut sandwiches, lob
ster salad, coffee, ice cream and
small cakes. The sandwiches were
constructed of white bread cut ex.
actly the size of playing card. Red
hearts and diamonds were cut from
beats and stuck on the bread like
spots with butter. The ice cream
was a rich vanilla made in bricks and
sliced like a card ornamented with
hearts and diamonds cut from
MaraschinO cherries. The cakes rep
resented hearts, spades, clubs and dia.
monds cut with specially made tin
cutters. The place cards were tiny
packs of cards, gilt edged. They were
only an inch and half in length.

"Maud Muller" Party.


During these golden October days,
outdoor and indoor parties combined
are quite the thing. A hostess noted
for her originality invited her friends
to a Maud Muller" party. The invi-
tations said: Informal; please come
IN country costumes" AS she lived in
a suburb, time tables were inclosed
with the train marked that she wished
them to take. The hour was FIVE, and
merry throng took the four o'clock
train. An immense hay wogan was at
the station, with the splendid big
horses gayly decorated and driven by
the regular farm men instead of the
llveried coach and footman. There
we're horns for the men, and the
hostess awaited them on the steps of
the port cochere. Big straw hats
were given to the men with red rib
bons and the girls had blue ones.
Rakes with gilt handles were given
the girls, who were thus attired as
Maud Mullers," and went forth to
rake the hay on this charming sum-
mer day which had gotten by mistake
into the fall calendar.
The girl who made the largest stack
in ten minutes was awarded a prize;
also, there was prize for the neat
est stack. The men superintended
this, and then a plow was brought for
the men to try their skill, with prizes
for the straightest row, and for the
one made in the quickest time. By
this time twilight was falling and
guests watched the chickens fed and
the cows milked. Then all adjourned
to the dining room, where suptuous
supper was served, everything except
the meats being a product of the
place. The decorations were most
unique. being likewise home produc-
tlOns. Gourds, small squashes and
pumpkins were converted into most
attractive flower holders, and the flow
ers were wild purple asters and gold
en- rod, the combination being most
happy one At half-after eight the
hay wagon came to the door and a
drive of an hour was taken over the
hardest of country roads and then
back to the station in time for the ten
o'clock train. Afterwards in talking
1t over we all agreed that our host
ess was so successful because her en-
tertainments were so simple and she
80 natural and unaffected. Not but
what she could and sometimes did en-
tertain formally and had plenty of
money to spend; yet her favorite way
was to do things on the spur of the
moment, and she always made use OF
the things that were in season.
She also had the art of always as
sembling just the right people togeth.
or, and always remembered who hated
bridge" who didn't like golf and who
loathed to dress for formal dinner
party. On the quiet, think she keeps
book with the peculiarities OF each
one of her friends carefully jotted
down, Just when she entertained them
and just what she served on each oc
casion. At least that is the way one
of the best entertainers l ever knew
does, and it Is worth considering.

To have pairs of vases with flow

historic HOLIDAY NO MORE
St. Distaff's Day, Celebrated by Our
Grandmothers, Forgotten by
This Generation.

Our grandmammas remembered,
but most of us have forgotten a his
toric holiday which until recent de-
cades was celebrated in January. 1t
is st. Distatf's day, 'the morrow
after Twelfth day." and it falls op
January Z. In days of old, when
knights were bold, all ordinary
household cares save cooking were
put aside at Christmas for II days.
High revel was held in the interval,
but on January : the women of
every home returned to their or
binary pursuits. In those times, the
distaff was the symbol Of femininity.
A man who wished to say he had in
herited property or trait through
his mother would say he got it from
the distaff side of the house" All
unmarried women were called spin
sters, a name that has stuck to this
day, and women of all degrees, when
visiting neighbors, carried their dis
taffS. So it was that the day on
which women took up their regular
occupations, chief of which was
spinning, was dedicated to st. Dis
taft, and until modern machinery
usurped the place of the spinning
wheel the holiday was kept faith
fully.
