WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes. bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or indigestion. or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in it's action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect. Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
lions without assistance.
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
1t. write for a sample to DR.. w. B.
Caldwell, 201 Washington ST.. Monti-
cello, H.; he will gladly send trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.

PAPER BAGS IDEAL FOR INVALID
COOKERY.

In invalid cookery the eye must be
appealed to, as dish that is attrac-
tive in appearance will be more apt
to be tasted; and. tasted, 1t is up to
the cook to make it so savory that
not crumb Is left
When preparing food for the inva-
lid. more pains can be taken. as one
dish may be more quickly prepared
than one for family.
Minced Chicken With Toast.-Ffnly
mince the breast of a chicken, add a
tablespoonful of cream. the yolk OF
an egg and a little salt. Lay In a
creased paper bag with a small piece
of toast. Seal and cook six minutes
In hot oven. Serve in the bag.
Chicken Tea.-Cup up fowl. break
the bones and add two tablespoonfuls
Of water. seal and place the bag on
the rack in the oven. Allow forty-five
minutes in a slow oven. Strain and
serve.
In paper bag cookery not only Is
the natural flavor of every article
of food preserved. but all undesirable
flavors are kept out.
For invalid cookery this Is a great
point in its favor. as the delicate
aroma and flavor of the white meats
and those suitable for diet in conva-
lescence are so easily dissipated by
cooking.
It was one Of our ancient wise men
who said that which pleases the pal
ate nourishes." II Is most important
that the invalid eat that food which
is best for building up and repairing
waste.
FiIIeted Pouitry-Slice a carrot.
turnip and an onion: add little ham.
a pinch Of sugar and salt. and place
in the bottom of well-buttered bag.
Slice the breast of a fowl. lay the
slices on the prepared vegetables.
sprinkle with melted butter, seal and
cook six minutes In a slow oven.
Dish the fillets. put the vegetables
into a sieve or fruit press. press light
ly and pour the gravy over the Ill
lets.
