oEss,SRTs OF FRUIT

HOW HOUSEWIFE =. 3.
OVER PSsSE@N
Two Recipes That Afford an A6Fes
able Change After the Family
Has Become Heartily Sick
of Sauce"

Often at this time OF the year the
housewife has still few jars OF pre-
served fruit on hand. She and her
family are heartily sick of sauce"
Try this plan of making two delicious
desserts from one quart jar of peaches
Preserved strawberries. cherries. ETC.,
are equally good to use. Separate the
peaches from the juice.
Recipe No. Rub the peaches TO p
pulp through sieve. Add half cup
full OF sugar II the fruit is not very
sweet Whip a pint of cream stiff
Mix well with the peach pulp and
turn into two one-pound empty bak-
ing powder cans. Cover with oiled
paper 1.-THE paper from cracker boxes
is good to use) and press cover on
tightly. Bury the cans in finely
chopped ice and rock salt tequal por-
tions) for two hours. This serves
seven or eight people.
Don't think because you are not
used to making the ice cream that
you cannot make this dessert. II Is
very simple. For frozen whipped
cream dessert freezer Is not neces-
sary. Any two quart kettle will hold
the ice and salt. Personally | always
use one of the kettles from my fire
hess cooker. place several folds OF
newspaper directly inside the kettle
to I'LL up space so that won't need
to use much ice and salt. When
packed I put the kettle away in the
fireless cooker until time to serve.
Recipe No. 2-You will have about
two cupfuls of fruit strip from your
jar OF peaches. Soak one and half
pounds powdered gelatin IN half
cupful Of cold strip for five minutes.
Bring the rest of the strip to boil.
sweeten If necessary and pour over
the gelatin, stirring 1t until dissolved.
Set in cool place to harden.
The peach gelatin may be served
with whipped cream. Or before the
gelatin hardens. you may whip into
1t the stifly beaten white of an egg
and make thin custard !, from the
yolk to serve as sauce around the
gelatin.

Never turn griddle cakes a second

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. Of Postum and
Opened the Eyes of the Family.

A lady writes from Brookline. Mass:
"A package OF Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
Il notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning l prepared some Of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
1T was an immediate success In my
family, and from that day we have
used it constantly, parents and chill
dren. too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink 1t freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think it
delicious, and l would have a mutiny
on my hands should ! omit the be-
loved beverage.
'My husband used to have very
delicate stomach while we we're using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely we'll
since We quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily / wrote to my sister, who was
coffee topper. and after much persua-
Sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against 1t at
first. but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
"Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use OF coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she is
a new woman, thanks to Postum"

Take Pittsburg. where. as we
have seen, the typhoid rate was
1877 per 100000 population. Pitts
burg is city with a population
in excess of $4,000. Hence it's
annual death roll from typhoid
must have amounted to 31a times
1877. or something like 444. At
$4,000 life, this death roll will

Possibly it Paid to Advertise

A story was told to us this
week which goes something like
this. A gentlemen living in a
nearby town, advertised for a
wife, and as advertising pays,
was soon favored with reply
from a lady who was matrimon-
lily inclined. Letters we're ex-
changed and finally it was agreed
that the lady should meet the
gentlemen at his home town and
there they would be married.
They evidently had not exchang-
ed photos, for the story goes
that when the train pulled up at
the station the "lucky man" was
to wave a handkerchief, and by
this signal, the future wife was
to know him. In some way the
station agent learned of this fact
and let several young men in on
the secret. When the train came
in, there they, in company with
the 'lucky man" stood, all way
ing a handkerchief. 1t is need
less to say it was an EN- barassing
nom emit for the bride-to-be, but
she evidently picked the man
who advertised, we hope so at
least, for the last we heard of the
affair, they were married, and
we trust will Give happy ever
after"

Obituary

James Hinsdale Sr. was born
in Dundes county, Michigan,
July S, 1912 and departed to his
Fathers home September IA, at
6:20 a. m.
In 1861 he enlisted in Co. A of
the Michigan Volunteers of the
4th Regiment. He served three
years when he re-enlisted and
served two years more. He was
in the Army of the Potomac and
saw much hard fighting. At the
Battle of the Wilderness he re-
ceived a wound which compelled
him to go to the hospital where
his injury caused him to remain
for feveral weeks and from which
he suffered through life. He al
so contracted asthma from which
he has been great sufferer.
February 81 1868 he was mar
ried to Miss Lucretis Lumbert.
He moved to Sedgewick coun-
tv in 1870 and in 1886 to Meade
county where he lived on farm
until falling health compelled
him to give up hard labor. He
moved to Meade where he has
since resided.
In 1902 he united with the
Baptist church.
Pen cannot describe the suf-
fering of this good christian man
during the past three years.
His courage was marvellous. He
never complained. His cheerful
ness compelled one in his pres
ence to forget his suffering.
One needed not to ask him if he
were a christian; his considera-
ton of others, his marked devo-
ton to his church, and his beau
tiful resignation to his suffering
declared him to- be a man who
lived his life here by faith in the
Son of God who loved him and
gave Himself for him. He had
been christian but nine or ten
years but they had been years of
complete surrender and marvel
Gus growth in the christian
graces. He thought of death as
the GROWING day.
He leaves his beloved compan-
ion; two sons, George Hinsdale,
of Meade and James Hinsdale 1r.
of North Yakoma, Washington;
two daughters, Mrs. Charles
Hasking and Mrs. John Keith,
both of Meade; a sister who lives
IN Michigan; four grand children
and a mum Der of other relatives
and host of friends by whom
he will be greatly missed.
The funeral was conducted by
Rev. j. Frank Moore and by the
G.. A. r. Post No 1888.
The large crowd in attendance
was token of the esteem the
friends aud neighbors had for
this good man. =
