A WORD OF WARNING.

Editor Social Corner: Now in these joyous holidays I wish to warn my good friends to be cautious how they indulge in the goodies and sWeetmeats so abundant in these days, for good health is more to our happiness than temporarily pleasing of the appetite
 A physician once said: Watch how many of your friends and acquaint- ances will suffer from hard colds dur ing the holidays, and it will not be the result of exposure, changeable climate or late hours. It will be simply the re- suit of overeating. Nature makes protest when we violate her laws, and the cold is one of her protests
 The eminent physician whose com ments serve as a text for this article was the first to explain the misinter- pretation of an old saying: stuff a cold and starve a fever" The general " accepted idea that one iaboring un- der a cold should stuff his system with food Is wrong.
 The continual consumption of can- dies by children is another cause of sugar, or pure candy. does a child no harm: but there is no doubt that scores of children ruin their digestion, their teeth and finally their constitu- tions by being allowed to consume can dy in large quantities.
 The good parent should think of this and use authority when reason fails to prevent the child from doing what is injurious to it's health. We like to see them have merry, joyous time, but it does not pay to be sick. There are numerous ways of having a good time which are not harmful.
 I wish all my friends a jolly good time and a Happy New Year. HELENA.

Good Will and the Christmas Present.

A great deal of criticism is yearly poured out about the Christmas pres
 ent. Some of it is deserved. The
 Christmas present that is soulless exchange between reluctant acquaint-
 ances; the Christmas present that is
 the largest amount of worthless show for the smallest amount of value: the
 Christmas present that is beyond the
 giver's means or felt as an obligation
 by the receiver; the Christmas present
 that was somebody else's last year and is saved up and passed on; the Christ
 mas present, in other words, that Is
 machinery and Rretence and not the
 living, real thing-1n1s 6Hght tG pc
 criticised out of existence. But the
 real Christmas present is a different
 thing, whose critics judge themselves.
 The real Christmas present is a con
 crete bit of good will and affection. The babys first Christmas stocking what family could argue calmly about doing away with it? The children's gift to mother, selected in conclaVe, and saved for enthusia iastically-how much it means? The remembrances of friends, be they intimates or next door or divided by half the earth what 8 fitness they give to the world wide dayl It is because of the sweet ness of the Christmas gift that fool ish people abuse it. They try to grasp too much or to fill the empty place of the real gift with the simulacrum of it. Let each Christmas present be real let that rule be held to-and all the l joy is kept, and all the mistaken rush vanish. For real gifts are full of sim l plicity and love, and the spirit of Christmas is peace-peace in good will. -Harper'S Bazaar.

Harmless.

Governor-e elect Foss may fairly reckon himself as of some importance to republican party now that Senator 'Lafe" Young, the new senator from Iowa, has made him the topic of a considerable portion of his maiden speech in the upper branch. MT. Foss need not feel at all wounded by the gentleman's vitriol throwing. however, for it represents nothing but Young.
 This fresh senator was appointed by Governor Carroll, to succeed the late Senator Deliver, as a direct slap at Senator Cummins and the rest of the insurgents He and Carroll and all the other stand patters of Iowa have been utterly discredited and beaten in their state and Young could no more be elected to the full term than he could be chosen president of the Unit ed States. He is a stop gap, put into the senate from pique and ll-temper.
 These facts should be remembered by those to whom it appears strange that an Iowa man be nowadays found shouting for revision upward.-Boston Post.

wife is welded to the house and it's interests.
 The art of cooking is well worthy the attention of any housewife. Good food well cooked and well served goes far to make home happy and it's inmates healthy.
 The first reference of the Bible to cooked good. "A morsel of bread" (Gen. 18th chapter). Sarah ill this instance made ready three measures of meaI' which she kneaded and of which she made cakes upon the hearth" These were doubtless the simplest form of unleavened cakes.
 Then come down to the time of the Pilgrims and their frugal fare. We can but contrast the ways of cooking at the present time-such an endless variety of fancy dishes, pleasing both to the eye and taste.
 The fact is that by little skill the plainest fare may be transformed into dishes fit for kings, while by carelss inattention the best of viands may be rendered unfit to eat. Surely the cooks position is by no means an unimpor- tant one.

dropped into cold water: remove from fire and stir until it begins to thicken; then turn on to buttered platter; when nearly cold, cut in squares.
 I sometimes stir into this a cup of chopped walnut meats, either English or shellbark. By leaving out the choco- late you can have white fudge; into this stir chopped nuts or shredded CO., coanut. Still other kinds can be made by using brown sugar in place of the granulated. Use in all of the above flavoring as liked.
 Chocolate CarameIs-Two and one half tablespoons of butter, two cups of molasses, one cup brown sugar, one half cup milk, three squares chocolate, one teaspoon of vanilla. Boil, stirring constantly until a firm ball may be formed in fingers, after testing in cold water. Turn on to a buttered dish and before it is too cold cut ill squares.
 Now for that good old standby
 Moasses Candy-Put into a deep kettle two cups of New Orleans mo- lasses, one cup of granulated sugar spoon of vinegar. Boil slowly taking care that it does not boil over Test occasionally by dropping 8. little into cold water. When it hardens it is done. Now stir in one-half a teaspoon of soda and pour out on a buttered plate; drop on a few drops of the es- sential oil of flavor desired; butter the hands and pull the candy until light as desired; then draw into sticks and cut with shears. By adding one-hali ounce of extract of hoarhound just be- fore turning out on to the slab this makes an excellent cough candy. FLORA.

The Morse Case.

It may be that Charles w. Morse the convicted banker, was really the victim of circumstances and that his release is justified Mrs. Morse is said to have made a strikirgly busi- nesslike plea in the petition for par don which is signed by 50,000 people. But a pardon for Morse at this time would place a formidable weapon in the hands of those who devote them selves to the fomenting of class feel ing and who maintain so consistently that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor.

A MOCK FISH CHoWDER.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: When you are at a loss to know what to get for dinner and away from the market, a mock fish chOWder would be good. Take a piece of fat salt pork, cut in small cubes and try out; add one medium sized onion thinly sliced, and cook five minutes, stirring often, that the onion may not burn; strain the fat into steWpan; wash and pare potatoes. and cut in quaTter-inch slices there should be three and one-half cups: parboil potatoes five minutes in boiling water to cover, drain and add to the fat; then add potato water and cook until potatoes are soft; add one can of corn and four cups of milk; bring to boiling point and season with four tablespoons of butter, salt and pepper to taste; split ten common crackers and soak in enough cold milk to moisten; add to the chowder and serve as soon as the crackers are thor oughly heated. If the crackers are not soaked in the cold milk they will be soft on the outside but hard inside
 Pumpkin Pie Crust-Wfu someone try my way of making under crust for pumpkin or squash pie, which is so easy and very wholesome? Butter a deep plate and sprinkle with cornmeaI. If not mentioned no one would know but there was a thin crust. This is really fine.
 Only to add my Christmas greeting the New Year will be proven one of the best.
 With thanks to our modest" Editor and very best wishes for his good luck the coming year.

SOME OLD CURES
 FOR CHILBLAINS.

It is the time of year when mothers are called upon to doctor the small winter ailments of their little ones among which chilblains come an easy first So the following recipes will be welcome, and doubtless, one or the other will be found efficacious:
 For hiIbIains-Roast turnip soft beat it to a mash, and apply it as hot as can be endured to the part affected Let it lie on two or three days, and repeat it two or three times.
 Mrs. ChiId's Eminent for ChIbIains To half an ounce of sal ammoniac add three quarters of an ounce of vim egar and as much nitre as will lie on shilling: mix. First rub the chilblains with camphorated spirits of wine, and then lay on the above with the finger
 A French Recipe for Chilblains-The French have a happy method of curing chiIblains, and this they use when the weather begins to grow cold. First take half an ounce of white wax, or of OK marrow one ounce, of hogs lard one ounce. Take your mixture and melt it slow over the fire, and stir without stopping till your wax is melted. Then strain through Q fine cloth, and when bedtime comes spread the soft paste on the chilblains and wrap fine hand kerchiefs round the toes and fingers

were necessary"
And as to the enterprising Bagnall:
That he did knowingly assist In fraudu-

statue OF Liberty by acting as lookout with
the duty of actually giving warning to the
man collecting the fees in case an officer were

All Of this, according to the charges and
