Demonstrating the Merits Of ''Snow.
drift"

If the Henderson housewife with an
investigating turn of mind does not
have her store of knowledge in the
culinary arts largely added to after
this week it will not be because of lack
of opportunity. Mention is nude else
where of the demonstration in cook
ing withelertrically heated appliances
given at the offices of the Henderson
Lighting and Power Company by
Miss Potts. That WAS 10 show the
quick, convenient. economical, cieanlv
way of cooking various articles of
diet after the dishes are prepared
There is another demonstration to
show how to prepare the dishes for
| cooking, whether by electricity. or
otherwise. This is the exhibition
going on at George A. Rose Com
pany's store to demonstrate the
merits OF ''Snowdrift" hogless lard
and Wesson cooking oil. products of

pleasure to many friends she made
on her previous visit. The demon
strations conducted by Miss Lee have
been we'll attended and many points
in favor of "Snowdrift" and Wasson
cooking oil have been learned from
her.
The editor of the GOLD LEAF hopes
he is not ''crank" on any one sub
ject, but If there is anything as rela-
ted to the articles of food that he is an
enthusiast ON more than another. it
is cotton seed oil us a substitute for
animal fats for cooking purposes
There is every reason why purely
vegetable oil is superior to any other
kind. 1t is purer and more whole
some. besides being more economical
requiring a smaller quantity to pro-
duce the same results. Used in prop
or proportions it is more refined
and delirate in flavor and therefore
preferable in every way to any other
compound used for shortening.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is infiamed you have a rumbling sound Or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
is restored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing
but an inhamed condition of the mucous sur

PORTLAND, MAINE, CHILD

Our little daughter, six years OF age.
after a severe attack of the measles,
which developed into pneumonia, was
left pitifully thin, weak and emaciat-
ed. She had no appetite, and her stom-
ach was SO weak it could not retain
food. She lay in this condition for
weeks, and nothing the doctor pre-
scribed did a bit of good, and we were
beginning to think she would never re-
cover.
AT this time we commenced to give
her Einol, and the effect was marvel
Gus. The doctor was amazed at her
progress, and when We told him we
were giving her Vinol, he replied, 1t
is a fine remedy, keep it up We did
so, and she recovered her health and
strength months before the doctor
thought she could" J. W. Flagg,
