Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-

trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-

of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna

For many years I suffered from

BIG FORTUNE WELL HANDLED
Millions Left by the Late Russell Sage
Are Being Expended for the Wei
fare Of Humanity.

While the late Russell Sage was in
the flesh he was one of the most pru-
dent, shrewd and persistent money
grubbers in Gotham. The astute tinan-
cier never plunged nor risked any
money in wildcat schemes. He was
"sure-shot" operator in Wall street,
and when he died he left in the hands
of his lone widow a fortune of some
thing like $75,000,000. Since becom-
ing possessed of this enormous for
tune she has worked as persistently
and assiduously In scattering the
money as her husband did in gather
ing it, The scriptures tell US that
the miser is the man that heaps up
riches and cannot tell who shall gath
er them" Russell Sage knew better
and the good lady upon whose shoul-
ders was imposed the burden of this
enormous sum of money has worked
hard in Tightening the burden. Her
philanthropies have been productive
of as much wisdom as marked her hus-
bands operations in the market. She
Is reported to be failing in health, and
her task is only begun. Should she
be taken from the world thousands
will regret her departure, and it is
very earnestly to be hoped that fur
ther care of the property will fall into
good hands.

POINTS ABOUT TEA MAKING
Beverage to Be Good Should Be Brew
ed in Earthen Pot, Never in
Metal One.

Women who pride themselves on
their tea making assert that tea to be
good should be made in an earthen
pot, never in a metal one.
Tea is never good when long stand,
ing, but in some cases 1t cannot be
helped. 1t should be poured off the
leaves into another heated pot and
covered with "cozy."
If cream is taken less expensive
grade of tea may be used than when
lemon is preferred.
An old fashioned idea is to drop a
few shayings of dried orange peel into
the pot In which the tea is made.
Some like this. while others believe
that 1t spoils the flavor Of the bever.
age,
Bits of cinnamon and two or three
cloves dropped in are other ways of
varying the flavor of the cup that

Many of the hollow ring molds have
fancy shapes, cones, turrets or fiow-
ers, but where pennies count the plain
ones are more practical for all uses.
Moreover, it takes a skillful cook to
empty the contents of a fancy mold
without marring it.
For special occasions there are va
rions molds to suit. Hearts can be
had in all sizes, both hollow rings
and plain. Stars are easily found, and
for card parties there are forms to
represent hearts, diamonds, clubs or
spades. Almost any flower used in
decoration can be duplicated in mold

For mousses it is easy to find a mold
suited to its kind. Thus there are tin
molds shaped like a small ham, 9TH

then be lifted out for easy serving.

TRY BEEF A LA MODE
CAN BE MADE INSTRUMENT OF
ECONOMY IN COOKING.
Method Of Making tho Best Out Of the
Cheapest Cuts Of Beef Originated
In France Years Ago-Two
Good Recipes.

Beef la mode seems to be one of
the first of beef dishes in France,
where, without question, this matter
of cooking the less expensive cuts OF
meat Originated century or So back.
The English early adopted this meth
cd, but called it French beef la mode
and lost sight of the prime essential
of the mode, which seems to mean
quite a different thing among English
speaking peoples from what 1t does to
the French.
In America our leading cooks de-
scribe this as similar to the pot roast
Or smothered beef, the difference being
that 1t is cooked in more water. The
chief Characteristic, as they conceive
of it, is the larding of the beef.
The French, it is true, do lard the
cut of beef they use, but they also
add vinegar usually to make 1t more
tender, sometimes marinating it for
three or four hours in vinegar and
other seasonlngs. and then using the
marinade In cooking 1t with vege-
tables.

This meat, If rightly and deliciously
cooked, Is as good cold as hot. In
fact, one French cook book which l
have-that by Prof. La Fayette-says
Serve cold and garnish with parsley
and nasturtium blossoms" Other
recipes say to serve either hot or
cold. This idea is part of the
economical one so universal in
France, where they make so much
of even the soup meat or bouilli
The following rather simple recipes
are those of different American house
wives which have come into my
hands, and show how this beef is
made the instrument of economy In
practical every day cooking. l am
not sure but that one of the cooks
can be called American.
Beef la Mode Take two pounds
of rump beef and lard with thin strips
Of salt pork which have been rolled in
a mixture of salt. pepper, celery salt,
allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Put
In kettle with a sliced onion, carrot,
a piece of lemon, tablespoon of vine

tightly and simmer two hours.
Beef a la Mode II.-Cut two slices
Of bacon into onefourth of an inch
squares and fry thoroughly. Add beef
which has remained overnight in vim
egar to which a few cloves, a whole
pepper, and bay leaf We're added.
Cook In the fat until both sides have
become little gray, then add two
onions cut up. the vinegar and spices
from the meat and salt to taste. Let
simmer about two hours. When thor
