COMPANY

When company comes we feel the
desire to give them the very best our
table can afford. The following are
a few ideas that may be used. The
drink with small cakes served to the
caller on a warm day is very refresh
ing.
Lemon Fizz.-Grate the yellow 1nd
from three lemons, squeeze the juice
from six, and pour over two quarts
OF boiling water; stir in half a pound
OF sugar and cover When lukewarm
add half a yeast cake dissolved in a
cup of warm water; cover and let
stand over night In the morning bot
tie and tie down the corks. Put in a
o o place for a day or two when it
will be ready to use.
Chicago Saiad.-Take large, very
ripe pears, cut in halves and cored
Canned pears may be used); fill the
cavity made where the cores were
removed with chopped celery and wal
nut meats mixed with mayonnaise. Ar
range around the salad bowl and fill
the center with can cheese or cot
tage cheese, made rich with cream.
put through the ricer.
Normandy SaIad.-Chop and mix to-
gether three c%ucumbers, three hard
cooked eggs, one cup of olives, three
fourths Of a cup Of nutmeats, and
serve in lettuce nests with mayor
naise.
Krimmel Torte.-Put a half pound
each of dates, nuts, and a fourth of a
pound of figs with three tablespoon
fuls of bread crumbs through a meat
chopper. Mix we'll and fold in the
mixture into the whites of six eggs
beaten stiff. Bake in a moderate oven
slowly, either in a loaf or layer tiHs.
If in layers, put together with whipped
cream. and you have a cake fit for a
king.
Dried peaches and apricots mixed

QUEER DISEASE IS
IN UNITED STATES
Many Here Afflicted With Odd
Ailment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWSOME CREATURES
VERY COMMON,
FINDS EXPERT.

Many people in the United States are
afficted with a queer disease, according
to a statement yesterday by Professor
James M. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewsome
statement:
Many persons who come and write to
my headquarters at SD and Jefferson
suffering from a simple stomach trouble.
when In reality they are the victims OF
an entirely different d~isease-that OF
internal parasites. which locate in the
upper bowel and consume a large per-
centage of the nutriment in undigested
1000; They sometimes grow to a length
or forty to sixty feet. One may have a
tape worm for years a4d never know
the cause Of his or her III health.
Persons who are suffering from one
Of these creatures become nervous. weak
ertton. The tape worms rot one OF am
bition and vitality and strength. but they
are rarely fatal.
1.-THE victim Of this disease Is apt to
believe that he Is suffering from chronic
stomach trouble. and doctors for years
without relief. This is not the fault of
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi-
lively that one Is not a victim OF tape
worm.
1.-THE most common symptom of this
trouble is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person is r~avenously hungry
and canDot get enough to eat. At other
times the very sight of food is loathsome.
There is a gnawing. faint sensation at
the pit of the stomach, and the victim
has headaches. fits of dizziness and nau-
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he Is suffering from nervous pros
tration.

wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. in the
course Of its regular action in aiding
digestion. and Kidding the blood. kidneys
and liver of impurities 1t has proven fatal
to these great worms. If one has a tape
worm. this treatment will. in nine cases
out of ten, stupefy and pass 1t away. but
If not, the treatment will rebuild the
rundown person, who Is probably suffer
ing from stomach trouble and a general
anaemic condition. My doctors report
marvellous success here with this treat
ment. Fully a dozen persons ave passed
these worms. but they are naturally reti-
cent about discussing them, and Of course
we cannot violate their confidence by Civ
ing their names to the public"

attention as though the patient called in

AT THE PARSONAGE.
Coffee Runs Riot No Longer.

Wife and l had a serious time of it
while we were coffee drinkers.
She had gastritis, headaches, belch-
ing and would have periods of sick
ness, while 1 secured a daily headache
that became chronic.
I'VE naturally sought relief by drugs
without avail, for it is now plain
enough that no drug will cure the dis
eases another drug Coffee sets up,
particularly, SO long as the drug
which causes the trouble is continued.
Finally we thought we would try
leaving off coffee and using Postum. I
noticed that my headaches disappeared
like magic, and my old 'trembly' nerv-
business left. One day wife said, DO
you know my gastritis has gone?
"One can hardly realize what Post
am has done for us.
Then We began to talk to others.
Wife's father and mother were both
coffee drinkers and sufferers. Their
headaches left entirely a short time
after they changed from coffee to
Postum.
Il began to enquire among my par
ishioners and found to my astonish-
ment that numbers of them use Post
UNI In place of coffee. Many of the
ministers who have visited our par
=sonage have become enthusiastic cham
pions of Postum" Name given by

Serenity.

"The true religious man, amid all
the ills of time keeps a seren fore
head and entertains a peaceful heart.
This, going out and coming in amid
all the trials of the city, the agony
of the plague, the horrors of the
thirsty tyrants, the fierce democracy
abroad, the fiercer i'll at home-the
saint, the sage of Athens, was still
the same. Such a one can endure
hardness; can stand alone and be
content; a rock amid the waves
lonely, but not moved. Around him
the few Or many may scream, calum-
Mate, blaspheme. What is all to him
but the cawing of the seabird about
that solitary, deep-rooted stone?"-

Wanted to Go to Pen.

Antelope County.-Some time ago
