COOKING ASPARAGUS.

Prepare 1t same as you would to
cook in boiling water, but instead OF
putting in double boiler without any
water except what remains on It from
washing, put in a little salt and cook
same as you would oatmeal. 1t takes
about two hours to cook, but is much
nicer cooked this way.

STRAIGHT Current Most Deadly.

Volt for volt, the direct or straight
current is more deadly than the al
ternating current. There is always
tiny bleeding in the brain in bad elec-
trio shock, SO it is a mistake to lay
the shocked ones .'ith the head low.
for this increases the many little
deadly bleedings in the brain.
The Colorado statesman., 1911-09-30
Yes, Indeed.

When married man takes a little
gift out to the wife in the country
every time he goes out to spend the
weekend and tells her not to worry
about him because he is getting along
fine, then it is time for her to make
short, unannounced visit in town.

If you are troubled with gout you

Vermont to visit her sick mother. At

teeth"
What impudence!" exclaimed
That's X.
"Oh, ma'am, it is not from impu-
dence," returned the chauffeur, that

cause the road is bad, the rocks are
hard, and if you wear false teeth, you
would do well to remove them until

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
dinary cleansing. healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just little in a glass
of water. used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and SOC a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.

the normal number Of children is five
or six to the family. A mother should
bear child every two years.
Granting that marriage should
come at the average age Of twenty

should continue until the mother is
forty. resulting In eight children. This
high number. however, would be low
