three more for Barbara Osborne; and
then the two governors were cheered

seen that Ardmore and Griswold were
in each others arms.

glass of water where it had spent the
night and regarded 1t tenderly. "The

Ardmore seized and wrung his

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend in This Case.

1t is not always that lack of
money is a benefit.
A lady of Green Forest, Ark, owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the fee demand
ed by specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling OF her
case she says:
II had been treated by four differ
ent physicians during 10 years of
stomach trouble. Lately l called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that l had neuralgia of the stom-
ach. Then l went to a specialist who
told me had catarrh of the stomach
and said he could cure me in four
months but would have to have his
money down. could not raise the

are trying to fill the shoes of their ia

which the meat has been cooked
makes a fine one for cooking carrots,
cabbage, turnips and potatoes for q
vegetable dinner. the same day, or the
M following.
A very appetizing dish for those
who are fond of sauer kraut is spare
ribs and aue kraut. Wipe the spare
ribs and put on to cook in water to
cover. Let them simmer for half an
hour. then add the kraut and cook for
three hours. Either the brown stew
or the spareribs may be cooked in the
treless cooker, after cooking for half
an hour on the stove. The kraut may
be added long enough to get boiling
hot before putting in the cooker.

Sanitation in the Home.

Scientists who have made a study
of the condition of the poor in cities.
claim that more disease is caused
from impure air than any other cause.
When otherwise intelligent women
will sleep in a close room, without a
chance of fresh outside air getting in,
it seems as if our educational system
was at fault.
So many people seem to be afraid
of night air. Night air is all we get
at night, and there is NJ reason to be
afraid of it, unless it is bottled in a
room. Children should early be &C.
customed to sleeping in a room with
fresh air coming in at all times. 1t is
o necessary to sleep in a draft to
have fresh air. The person who goes
to sleep in a oOm that has been occu-
pied for an hour or two without air
ing and in which a gas light or lamp
has been burning, will wake with a
headache and wonder why.
On coming in from being out In the
fresh air, ones nose tells that the air
is impure very quickly. Another false
notion that many people labor under
is that cold air is pure.
In cases of sickness, where it is nee
essary to avoid any drafts, a device
which Is very simple, may be used.
Put a piece of board three or four
inches wide. and long enough to fit
under the sash; raise the window and
set this under it. The air will come
up into the room between the sashes.
A leaking gas or W pipe should
never be neglected for the effects of
sucn pois oning often lasts for years.
The insidious manner in which bad
gases sometimes act on the human
system is what makes them SO dan
gerous. The practice OF sleeping out
doors has proven such a good one that
it is justly becoming a most common
habit. One may. If the sleeping room
has two windows, sleep in an atmo.
sphere as pure as needful in ordinary
health.

Mailing Broken Bones.

Paris surgeons are using, in some
cases, nails for the cure OF simple
fracture. For fracture of the shin
bone or OF the thigh bone a nail of
nickel, aluminium of magnesium
preferably aluminum-is used, and is
driven in to hold the two pieces of
bones together, much like two pieces
OF wood. 1t is believed that the nail
ing of broken ends is the quickest
way to repair a fracture. 1t does away
with the old system under which a pa
tient had to lie in bed for three weeks
with his oct attached to a SO pound
weight.
