There he had been condemned for life to this living death-without scent,t sight, hearing, or the memory of them, evolving from his starved soul this vision of a young girl with eyes full of wonder, and flowers in her hand. It was the greatest triumph of the human spirit and the greatest tes- timony to the power of art that I have ever seen"
 Our friend uttered a short, sharp laugh. 50 thick skinned, however is mans mind that I didn't even then grasp the agony of that mans life. But did later I happened to see his eyes as he was try ing to answer some question of the gov ernor's about his health. To my dying day shall never forget them.

They had more sheer pitiful mis- cry in them than all the eyes put to- gether of all the free men I've ever seen. couldn't stand the sight of them. and hurried out of the cell I felt then, and ever since, what they say the Russians feel-for all their lapses into savagery- the sacredness of suffering.

Charlestown, w. ya,-1n an interest ing letter from this place. Mrs. Calvin Rutherford writes as follows: At one time I suffered trerribly from womanly troubles. Some of my symptoms were hot flashes through the face, pains in my sides and back, headache, dizzy spells, and pain low down.
 Since taking Cardul, the woman's tonic, I am well and enjoying good health, and I want to thank you kindly for your advice. It certainly has proven a blessing to me. Cardui has done what other medicines failed to do.

 In the face of such strong recom- ones who know best just what this prep aration will do for weak, ailing wom- en--no wonder we do not have to make extravagant claims for it.
 All we can add to the above state ment is that Cardui is prepared from perfectly harmless, vegetable ingredi- . ents. which act gently, yet directly, on the womanly organs.
 It Is a strengthening tonic and helps to build up womanly strength.
 It has helped thousands of women in the last 50 years Why not you?

 l It was a mass Of tissue paper. with
 mysterious holes and lines all over it's surface, known to womankind as a Pa per Pattern

 like the five Wise Virgins, when the other women are rushing around watch ing samples and beseiging seamtresses and dressmakers for something to wear"
 Miss Minnie" arrived bright and early. Miss Minnie" be it known was an ''in- stitution" in the Jones family, having
 been their guide and counsellor and | friend since the far away childhood days. It was she who decided the length of the little girls dresses when they were in their teens, cut their first decollette gowns, arranged the length of their first tstrains. ," and made the wedding gowns of all those that had married.

Three Requests

"Will you please print the following recipe and how the following may be made?
 '1. A cleaning fluid for mems clothing? "2. A good liquid for bedbugs?
 'S. A good powder for reaches?
 MINIS. M l. A simple way of cleaning cloth is to sponge the garments with stale beer. Use it freely, going all over the right side, and when the cloth is nearly dry sponge with grain alcohol. Hang in the sun until nearly dry; take it down and lay over it a damp, fine muslin cloth. Press through this with a hot iron.
 Or, you may clean mems clothes with soap bark. Use pad of cheesecloth or rather several for you must change them often. Stir & tablespoonful of house. hold ammonia into a basin of tepid water Fill the pad or bag with soap bark and wet through with the water. Use this as you would 8 sponge and change as the pad shows dirt. When you have treated tho whole garment, wipe dry with old flannel. changing as 1t gets wet. Iron through dampened muslin.
 g. Dissolve an ounce of corrosive sub- Innate in a gallon of gasoline and use freely. It will not stain. Keep artificial light out of the room. Inject the liquid freely into every crack and crevice. Take one room at a time, and shut it up for '24 hours. Open then and air. Then go to the next room. Sweep well and burn all the sweepings.
 3. Mix borax with one-fifth as much red pepper and inject the powder into cracks about the sink, etc. Then scatter pure borax about tables and shelves.
 Stuffing Turkeys
 q wish you would ask in your valuable Corner if some one can tell me how to stuff turkeys with oyster dressing. l had some last year and it was lovely. l think there was cornmeal in it. Perhaps some housekeeper will know this, and as the time of turkeys will be here soon. no doubt others will be glad to hear Of 1t, too. M. B.
 Stir lightly together two parts of dry, fine bread crumbs and one part of scala ed Indian meal. If the raw meal be used, 1t will injure the flavor.
 To & cupful of this add scant cuplu Of finely minced oysters. Season with pepper and salt. The only liquid used should be oyster liquor. and just enough of this to make tolerably stiff dough.
