TELL HER so!

Amid the cares Of married life,
In spite Of toll and business strife,
You who value your sweet wife
Tell her so!
When days are dark and friends are few
She has her troubles, same as you;
Show her your love is ever true
Tell her so!
In days of old you praised her style,
And spent much time to win her smile;
'Tis just as well now worth your while
Tell her so!
There was a time you thought it bliss
To get the favor Of one kiss;
A dozen now won't come amiss-
Tell her so!
She'll return for each caress
A hundrefold of tenderness!
Hearts like hers are made to bless!-
Tell her so!
You are hers and hers alone
Well you know she's all your own;
Don't wait to carve it on q stone
Tell her so!
Never let her heart grow cold
Richer beauties will unfold;
She is worth her weight in goldl-
Tell her SOL
Tho B4yunst.

HINTS FOR CARE
OF THE INVALID
Meals Should Be AppetiZing
and Punctual.

At some time or another in every house
hold there will be an invalid to be cared
for. When this time comes the following
hints may make easier the task of the
nurse and quicken the recovery OF the
sick.
Few things are more difficult than to
get a sick person to take nourishing
food, and no task, as a rule, is worse
managed. Amateur nurses may be sue
cessful in other matters, but they gen.
orally make a failure of the food propo-
sition.
The nurse is usually to blame when
the patient will not take enough food
She will bring a huge plateful of Jelly
or a big basinful of beef tea to him,
and he will reject it with disgust. be-
cause the sight of so much food is dis
tasteful. II she brought a few spoon
fuls at a time and served them dainty
he would be glad to eat
Give n Little at n Time.
Give little food at a time and give il
often. That which is eaten willingly
and with relish is far better than double
the amount swallowed with disgust
II a time is fixed for the patients
meals, always be punctual II kept wait
Ing most sick people lose their desire to
eat, and will reject the food when II Is
brought to them.
Be careful never to have food in the
sickroom in the hope that the patient
may eat it presently. Miss Florence
Nightingale, the worlds famous nurse,
says this will prevent him from taking
food at all.
Never take a large quantity of any
thing at one tina thinking that because
the patient had liked it before he will like
1t again. In nine cases out Of ten sick
persons appetite is capricious. His food,
| therefore, should be varied as much as
possible.
Don't rely too much on beef tea. 1t is a
useful stimulant, but II is not really nour-
ishing, as most people suppose 1t to be.
Be Careful of Service.
Be particularly careful to serve every
thing in the daintiest style. Glass should
be bright, silver FURNISHED, napkins lily
white, and saucers free from slops. These
little details will make all the difference
in the patients appetite.
Always make sure that the patient is
placed in a comfortable position to eat
and drink, and be careful that no crumbs
are left in the bed.
The practice of putting dishes in the
oven to warm them for the table Is a bad
one. The dry heat causes the enamel TO
crack In time, and then the grease soon
penetrates them, to their utter ruination.
Put the dishes to be heated in a dishpan
and pour boiling water over them. Let
them stand and steam until ready to serve
the meal, then wipe with clean, dry towel

TESTED RECIPES.

A delicious way Of serving potatoes is
the following: Boil and mash twelve me-
dium-sized white potatoes, using one ta-
bIespoonful of butter instead of milk.
When they are nearly cold add the yOlks
of three eggs, one teaspOonful Of grated
nutmeg, and six drops Of onion juice.
Stir these ingredients together until they
are smooth. Make up into small cone
shaped crocuettes and stand away to
harden. When they are firm roll them
in the beaten white OF the eggs and
cracker dust and fry in deep boiling fat
until a light brown.
Clean a chicken and cut in pieces, put
into a baking dish and cover with mix
ture of half milk and half cream, with
pepper and salt to taste. By the time
the milk has cooked away the chicken
will be tender and delicious.

By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

There are certain women in the world
10 whom romance means all of happiness.
They may possess wealth, position,
power, fame, glory, and pleasure may
wait upon them like a handmaiden, yet,
unless there is a romantic color to life,
they are not happy.
When such a woman marries she in
vests her husband with a halo, and she
will keep him supplied with halos, no
matter how ruthlessly he tears them into
tatters, if he does not destroy the rosy
color of romance and force her to live
in the dull shadow of the commonplace.
A woman of this temperament must
have affection shown her in other ways
than in receiving her board and
clothes
She must be assured that she is loved,
by words and small acts of thoughtful
ness, not alone by the fact that her hus-
band is kind and a good provider.''
1t is important to her that her hus-
band should notice her appearance, her
costume, her way of wearing her hair,
and that he should show solicitude If she
seems anxious or troubled, and that he
should take pride in all she does well.
The EndearinE Things.
These are the things which endear a
lover to woman.
They are the evidences to her that she
is a little nearer to him than other
women.
II all these sweet nothings are neglect
ed after marriage, and if the husband
expects the wife 10 be quite sensible
and satisfied that she is well married
and taken care of, the romance dies out
of life. and the home becomes little
more than a comfortable clearinghouse.
Many women of the present era, per-
haps, can be content with such situa
ton.
She who marries for a home, and to be
called Mrs. instead OF Miss. will get
along very well, but the woman of tenn
perament, who has married for love (as
women of temperament usually do). must
have more food and clothes and the re-
speCt of her husband.
She must have the small attentions that
speak of love.
She must be made 10 feel that she is
sweetheart, even after the beauty or
charm of youth has changed into the
maturity Of middle life
1t depends upon her education, her early
environment and her inherited tenden-
Cies whether she settles into a discon-
tented and disappointed matron. when
such a woman fails to find the tints of
romance i'm her skies. or whether she
develops firtatious tendencies, and en-
dangers her reputation by allowing other
men to act the role of lover.
The Wrong Road.
More than on good woman has taken
the wrong road in the search for happi-
ness. through seeking the lost world of
romance in another mans society.
1t really requires very little effort on
the part Of any man to keep any woman
in love, and happy and satisfied with
her life once she has married him for
love.
An interested look, a tender word, a
hand clasp, and a pretty compliment
given a few times a week; praise for her
virtues and good qualities, appreciation
of her companionShip. and. 10! the world
blossoms like an Eden for the woman,
and burdens are light and Time has lost
his terrorS
Why are men not wiser in these mat
ters? Small attentions are less expensive
than divorces

Shampoo Lotion for Oily Hair.

One teaspoonful of cologne. one tea
spoonful or more of tincture of green
soap, one teaspoonful OF borax. an egg,

a good shampoo for oily hair. Apply
the mixture with brush. These
brushes are inexpensive and are made
for the purpose. An old tooth brush
NAV be used, but 1t Is rather small
and not as effective as the one espe-
ciaIly designed. The brush removes
dandruff, cleanses the scalp thoroughly.
and, by bringing the blood to the NIL
mute vessels that nourish the scalp,
greatly dement's the hair follicles.
DO not fail to rinse all the lotion out

a small load of lumber, when they
were met by an auto. The horses
were known to be skittish 20 they
drove off the road to let the auto pass.
All went well until the team had re-
turned to the roadway, when they
jumped forward and broke one of the
lines Mr.. Olson Immediately jumped
safely, but Mr.. Nelson tried to hang
onto the remaining line with the re-
suit that he was dashed from the high
seat against the wagon, from which
he bounced to the ground. The force
OF the fall rendered him unconscious.

up by eye witnesses and medical aid
summoned.

Is SHOT; MAY DIE.

Valley City. N. D.. Sept. 29.--Be-
tween 2 and o'clock in the morning
over at the 500 in north Valley CITY,
two men approached a stranger and
commanded him to hold up his hands,
Instead of doing so the man turned
and ran, when one of his assailants
fired on him, the bullet striking him
in the back, just above the hip.
The men then fed, without robbing
the unfortunate man. who is said to
have had some $50 on his person.
He, with others had been working
with q threshing crew and they were
en- route to Canada Sheriff Kelly was
called and with posse went to north
Valley City, where two suspects were
arrested. When searched, however,
no weapons were found on them; but
they had had plenty of time to hide
their guns.
The wounded man, whose name Is
Fred McGIinn, and whose home Is at
Beffalo, NJ Y, was taken to Riverside
hospital, where an operation was per-
formed to remove the bullet. The
physicians report that his condition
is serious with but slight chances for
