Shrimp Wiggle.

Like lots of other folks we like to
get our Sunday night supper in the
chatting dish, and | am always on the
lookout for new dishes. This is one
of my best recipes. Melt two
level teaspoonfuls of butter in chat
ing dish or saucepan. Stir in the
same amount of flour, and when
smooth add one and half cupfuls of
rich milk. Stir until it cooks to a
creamy state. Then add a teaspoon
full of Worcestershire sauce, two more
tablespoonful of butter, a can of
shrimps washed and drained and
tossed few minutes in little but
ter, few drops of onion juice. can
of tender green peas and salt and
pepper to taste. Last of all, add a
dash of paprika.

Many Barton people take their lives

sible for vast amount of suffering

suffer nor to remain in danger when
all diseases and aches and pains due
to weak kidneys can be quickly and
perm anently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a Bar =

Doan's Kidney Pills and deciding to
give them trial, procured a supply
at Barron's pharmacy, The contents
of three boxes made such a change
for the better in my condition that ]

The practice in vogue in the large
cities of sending poor children into the

not be too highly commended. 1t is a

room for the extension of this sort of

FISH DEALER MIXED ORDERS

Far more unerringly than by any

CLEAN OF the piscatorial fervor that
irradiates the eyes of Senator Frye of
Maine Just before the opening Of the
FISHING season. During the winter

the senator loves now and then to re.
late fish story,
He tells of a memorable trip on

There was busy time with the
wires just then, for the fish dealer had
got his orders mixed. and instead OF
shipping fresh trout to Frye's home, be
had sent herring-thoroughly smoked.
But the senator was equal to It. Camp
supplies had been mixed with the fish
caught that day-of course. He
fastened his reply:
You received the bait by mistake.
Nothing but smoked herring will ever
catch fresh trout, you know"
Senator Spooner usually concludes
the tale truthfully by giving the re
