potatoes as desired until soft enough
to go through a sieve. Use the water
they were boiled in, adding milk. but
ter, salt and pepper to season.
Thick Pea Soup.-Soak the dried
peas over night, then cook the same
as the potatoes, but add plenty OF
onions to flavor the peas. Carrot
soup can be made in the same way.
Dreamed Potatoes With Cheese

tablespoonfuls of flour, a tablespoonful
and a half of butter, salt and pepper
to season and a cupful Of milk. Cut
the potatoes in slices and boil. Put a
layer Of potatoes In a buttered baking
dish, then a layer Of white sauce, fol-
lowed with a layer of grated cheese,
thus alternating until the dish is full.
Bake about twenty minutes and serve
hot.
Vegetable Hash.-Boil together until
tender potatoes, carrots and onions;
then serve with butter. pepper and
salt.
Dutch Salad.-Use as a foundation
for this either behring's or anchovies,
mixing the same with sliced beets, APP
pies, cold potatoes. onions, hard-boiled
eggs and either mayonnaise or a plain
French dressing.
Another good salad is made from
prawns or shrimps with lettuce, hard
boiled eggs and French dressing.

For a chambray petticoat a net ruffie

selection Of Poultry.

In choosing poultry select those
that are soft. Perhaps the surest way
to determine whether they are young
Is to try the skin under the leg or
wing. II it is easily broken 1t Is
young; or turn the wing backwards,
and If the joint yields readily 1t Is
tender. When poultry is young the
skin is thin and tender, the legs
smooth, the feet moist and timber, and
the eyes full and bright. The body
should be thick and the breast fat. Old
turkeys have long hairs and the flesh
is purplish where 1t shows under the
skin on the legs and back. About
March they deteriorate in quality.
Young ducks and geese are plump
with light semitransparent fat, soft
breast bones, tender flesh, leg joints
which will break with the weight Of the
bird, f~resh-colored and bristle beaks,
and the windpipes that break when
pressed between the thumb and fore
finger. They are best in fall and
winter.

DRESS COMMENT.

Black chiffon tunics over blue or
green or orange satin foundations are
among the more favored styles.
Lace is more and more claiming
the attention for trimming hats and
gowns.
Black and white are most used, and
when decorating skirts it is adjusted
In f1ounces or as a tunic.
Old gold silk for afternoon and
evening wear is being combined with
Chantilly lace.
Cloth of gold and silver tissue
comes again to a supple and glisten-
ing rescue when the dull rose and ma
hogany shades cry for a contrasting
touch.
Yards and yards of shaded or
changeable ribbon will be devoted to
: the hats in enormous loops, bows and
scarfs.
Figured silks are vying with two
toned effects for street and house
dresses.
Large fiat hats have appeared with
flowers in wreaths encircling the low
crowns. This style is becoming to

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. I had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts Of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then l
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
so bad that | had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a e skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
my aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. l
sent to a drug store and got a cake of
Cuticura Soap and a box Of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all
well. He has had any sores
of any kind since. I a sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. l used only one cake OF
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.

MAKING THE BEST OF STEAK
Most Effective Way Of Dealing, for In
stance With the Flank End
\ of Porterhouse.

Before speaking Of the cooking OF
the cuts that lack tenderness through
out, It may be well to refer to the fact
that the flank end of the porterhouse
is to be classed with the toughest Of
cuts and with those which, when
cooked alone, are with difficulty made
tender even by long heating. Mock
duck, which is commonly made out Of
flank steak, can be rendered tender
enough to be palatable only by long
steaming or cooking in water, and yet
people quite generally broil this part
of the steak with the %tenderloin and
expect 1t to be eaten. The fact is that
to broil this part of the porterhouse
steak is not good management. 1t is
much more profitable to put it into
the soup kettle or to make 1t into a
stew. In families where most Of the
members are away during the day the
latter is a good plan, for the end OF
the steak makes a good stew for two
or three people. This may be sea-
soned with vegetables left from din
ner, or two or three olives cut up in
gravy will give a very good flavor; or
a few drops of some n Of the bottled
meat sauces, If the favor is relished,
or a little Chilli sauce may be added to
the stew. But If the tough end Of a
porterhouse is needed with the rest, a
good plan is to put it through a meat
grinder, make 1t into balls, and broil 1t
with the tender portions. Each mem
Der of the family can then be. served
with a piece of the tenderloin and a
meat ball. If the chopped meat is
seasoned with a little onion juice,
grated lemon rind, or chopped parsley
a good flavor lie Unmarried To the gravy

Use for these the whites Of three
eggs and one pint Of sugar. Put the
sugar in a bowl, pour the whites over
and beat 20 minutes with a silver
spoon. Drop the mixture on creased
paper an inch or more apart. Do not
let them touch. Put on a board OF hi
verified bread pan and place enough
layers of paper to keep the bottom
from burning. Bake in a moderate
v g until brown, Let the mixture
rise and then bake or they will not be
light. Remove with knife and put on
dish.
For chocolate egg kisses add before
cooking n ounce of grated chocolate
which has been melted. Add gently
and quickly or the mixture will be too
thin.

lnnortation Of Leeches.

Leeches are enumerated by the bu-
reau of statistics under its general
head of animals imported, the total
value of the imports Of this species
in 1908 having been $5,341; in 1907,
$6,922; in 1906, $4,494; in 1905. $3,S62;
in 1904, s 1859; in 1903, 1920. and in
1902, ~$2,412-the commerce in leeches
being thus of a growing character.
The total number Of leeches i'm
ported in the United States in the
decade ending with 1908, is about $40,-
900. Leeches are imported free of
duty. Snails were at one time emu
merated as an article of importation,
the records from 1894 to 1898 showing
snails imported to the extent of about
$4,000, but the snail trade SO dwin-
died, showing only $24 of imports in
1908, that the bureau discontinued its
statements of this article.

%LIFE-SAPPING PARA
SITES THAT WRECK
HUMAN SYSTEM

The following remarkable statement
was recently made by L. T. Cooper. 1t
concerns the preparation which has
been so widely discussed throughout
the country during the past year, and
has sold in such enormous quantities
In leading cities:
ut is now a w~ell-known fact that
wherever / have introduced my New
Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo-
pie have brought internal parasites, or
tapeworms, to me. In many cases these
people did not know the nature of the
parasite, and were consequently ex-
tremely nervous until l explained the
matter to them. In some cities so
many have had this experience that
the public generally became alarmed.
Il take this opportunity of explain
ing what these creatures are, and what
I have learned about them in the past.
"Tapeworms are much more COM
mon than would be supposed. l ven
ture to say that ten per cent. Of all
chronic stomach trouble, or what is
known as a rundown condition, is
caused by them. An individual may
suffer for years with n Of these
great parasites and not be aware of it.
Contrary to general belief, the appe-
tite is not greatly increased-it only
becomes irregular. There is a general
feeling of faintness, however, and a
gnawing sensation in the pit of the
stomach.
People afflicted with one of these
parasites are nervous and depressed.
Their chief sensation Is one of Ian
guor, and they tire very easily. Lack
of energy and ambition affect the body,
and the mind becomes dull and slug.
gish. The memory becomes not so good,
and the eyesight is generally poorer,
"The New Discovery, in freeing stom'
ach and bowels of all impurities,
seems to be fatal to these great worms,
and almost Immediately expels them
from the system. I wish to assure any
one who has the experience just re
lated with my preparation, that there
is no cause for alarm in the matter
and that it will as a rule mean a speedy
restoration to good health"
