 asserts itself months before each campaign ill the state. The people of Arkansas arc getting tired of bom-
 bastic campaigns. They grow tired of the Jeff Davis type of campjaign-

When cooking cabbage, onions or any of the highly favored vegetables leave the dish uncovered while cook ing.
 After preparing celery for the table, save the tops and small bits for soups and steWs.
 The green tops of horseradish will grow again if planted.
 For colds, few drops of turpentine, four or five, on loaf sugar, will break up cold in one night. If the cold IS in the head a good greasing of the nasal passages and the outside of the nose with carbolated vaseline is a great relief.
 A severe cold on the chest may be relieved by good greasing of lard and turpentine, one part turpentlne to two parts lard.
 Cough Medicine.-Boil two ounces of flax seed with quart of water. candy, a half pint of honey, the juice of three lemons. Boil all together un- til well mixed. Let cool and bottle. Two tablespoonfuls, taken hot, is a good dose.
 Another fine cough cure is sliced. onions. Sprinkle with sugar and put into the oven in a granite dish to cook. When the onions are dark brown the sirup will be ready to use.

HELPFULH HINTS,

To make ham tender, parboil and put to cook in fireless cooker. Be. fore serving, fry quickly until a gold. en brown. It will be tender, moist and altogether nice.
 If little vinegar Is added to boil. ing fish it will keep it from falling to pieces. This will serve for cooking eggs in water, too.
 A nice idea to follow, if boards are plenty, is to keep one especially for use in chopping or shredding onions. Burn a round letter o in the back and 1t will never be used for any other material.
 An unusual combination for salad, but good one. is sour pickles, pea nuts and peas served with any desired salad dressing on lettuce, using a lit- tie onion juice in the dressing.
 Another salad combination which is very delicious and most attractive in appearance Is pears, almonds and can- died cherries for garnish, using the French dressing.
 Salad Dressing for Lettuce Sand wiches.-One egg yolk beaten light, add four tablespoonfuls of melted but ter, half teaspoonful of salt and a ta- blespoonful of vinegar, red pepper to taste; stir without cooking. Spread on bread without butter. Place a piece of lettuce or slice of cucumber on each for sandwich filling.
 Add a few almonds to a potato salad to add to Its food value and make 1t more palatable.
