Passed away on the morning oil
March Sd at the home of her pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. ;. 7. Counts,
at the age of Is years, 3 months and
IL days. She had been critically III

gerry and skill and kindly care could
accomplish was done for her, but II
was of no avail. She grew steadily
worse until her gentle spirit left the
tired body for the beautiful home OF
God.
Funeral services were held at the
Baptist Church on Tuesday morn
ing, March 3, conducted by the pas
tor. Miss Annie was a member OF
Pennington High School and the
teachers and members OF the school
attended the funeral in body. The
pail bearers and flower girls were
all from her classes. There were
many beautiful flowers, the gift OF
both the High School and the Bap-
fist Young Peoples Union, OF which
Miss Annie was devoted member.

TWO CURED OF SKIN TROUBLE

IT have suffered from birth with
skin trouble, and doctored with four
Of the best doctors that could be
found, without any lasting effects.
Then I used several kinds of patent
medicines, only growing worse in
stead Of better. After using them a
long time was so bad that it took
the hair off my head, and even my
eyebrows too, and made my eyes SO
bad that l was kept in dark room
for several weeks. l was out of my
head for long time. A friend told
me to get some Of the Cuticura Rem
edies and she knew they would cure
me. SO I got some packages Of Cuti-
cura Ointment and Resolvent and
used them and was cured. This was
about two years ago, and have never
had touch Of it since.
ALSO my husband had had salt
rheum for twenty-three years, and
after l had such a wonderful cure
through the use Of the Cuticura Rene
dies, he sent for some Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment and Resolvent, and
used them himself and he was cured.
His flesh was covered with stuff like
fish scales, especially in the winter, and
he even had it in his hair so bad he had
to keep his hair cut close to his head.
1t even grew down on his face, but we
are now both happy over our cures
through the use of Cuticura treat
ment." (Signed) Mrs. Laurence But
Ter, Chesterfield, N. H., Jan. 10, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. L, Boston.

NO MORE OF THAT MEDICINE
Mary Had Her Mind Made Up as to
Further Doses of Unquenchable
Compound.

A Yonkers, N. Y, physician had
negro cook who was a chronic COM
palmer. One day she came in groan-
ing with misery in her side and the
doctor offered to prescribe for her.
He went to the dining room, poured
out a spoonful of game sauce, stirred
in some English mustard and sprin-
killed. on some cayenne pepper. and
handed the dose to the sufferer, telling
her to take it down at one swallow.
1t was two weeks or more before
Mary turned up with a new pain. This
time it was in her other side Her
employer offered to mix her another
dose of his medicine.

The Tunic Fashionable.

The tunic is in vogue that will re-
main popular throughout the season.
1t is so becoming and youthful in eff
feet that it still appears on many Of
the newest gowns. 1t may, however,
vary considerably in length, the very
short one, falling just to the knees,
being the latest style.
1t is a mode that must be adjudged
to suit individual wearers, though, as
it has very varying effect upon the
figure. A charming house dress re-
Gently seen has skirt of broad stripe
black and white taffeta, with a tu-
mic of rich petunia colored cloth
edged with dull silver fringe.

IMPROVES THE FLOWER POT
Artistic Cover, Easily Made, Which
Hides the Baroness of the Plain
Receptacle.

Although there is nothing really OBJ.
jectionable In plain earthenware
flower pot, there are many girls who
like to have plants in their rooms,
but who object to the sight of the
practical pot, and cannot afford an
ornamental one.
In that case they can make quite an
artistic cover from paper, which can
be changed as soon as it is discolor.
ed by the dampness of the earth. To
facilitate changing narrow ribbons
the color of the paper should be cut
for the top and bottom of the pot
and fitted with dome fasteners or
hooks and eyes.
These girdles can be quickly taken
off and they look much heater and
are firmer than ribbon tied round
the gathered paper.

cup each of salt and sugar and a

The story is told of fussy man at
a hotel in the west who sat down to a
dinner of pork and beans. He re-
marked to the landlord that he never
ate pork and beans. The landlord re.
piled: Then help yourself to the mus
tard." He was not lacking in hos
pitality as long as there was mustard
that wasn't refused.

A FEW SALAD OR LUNCHEON
ROLLS.

Bread should have a sweet, nutty
flavor, never flavor of yeast. The
quick breads which may be made in
three to five hours are all right for an
emergency, but for every day living
the better bread is made with a small
quantity of yeast
Swedish RoIIs.-Take a. pint. OF
scalded milk, a cake of compressed
yeast or half a cup of the liquid yeast,
half a cup of luke warm water. three
eggs, half cup of butter, half cup
of sugar, teaspoonful of salt. Make
a sponge and prepare the dough as in
all biscuit mixtures made with yeast.
When light. roll into sheet a fourth
of an inch thick. brush with butter,
sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and
currants; roll up like a jelly roll, cut
In rounds and set on end, side by side,
an hour. When baked brush with egg
and milk, or sugar and milk and re-
turn to the oven to brown.
Tomato Blscult.-Roll a light dough
made like French bread, of a cup OF
warm water, half yeast care,
half teaspoonful of salt, and four cups
of flour. Use two cups of the flour to
make the dough and half of the water.
Knead we'll and shape in small ball.
Make two cuts in the top about a
fourth of an inch deep, then place the
ball in a small sauce pan of tepid
water, cut side up. In a few minutes
the ball will begin to swell and float
on the top of the water. When quite
light, remove 1t with a skinner to a
bowl containing the salt and the rest
Of the water. Stir in enough flour to
make a dough stiff enough to knead,
nearly two cups, and let stand in a
warm place until light. Roll out the
dough in sheet half an inch thick,
cut in four-inch squares, brush the cor
ners with cold water, then fold them
over to meet in the center; press the
corners down upon the dough below.
Arrange in biscuit pan so that they
will just touch each other, brush with
melted butter; when risen to double
in bulk brush again with butter and
bake.
German Coffee Cake.-Soften a
yeast cake (compressed) in a fourth
of cup of water; add two cups OF
scalded milk, cooled, and -four to make
batter. When light add four eggs
beaten without separating, one cup OF
melted butter, one cup Of sugar. the
Juice and rind of lemon, teaspoon
full of salt. Knead and when light roll
in sheet, butter and sprinkle with
almonds chopped fine.

Fully Assimilated.

Ray S. Baker, the author, in an ar
gument on immigration at Lawrence,
cited the marvellous speed wherewith
the immigrant family, be it German
or French or what not, becomes as
simulated into the national life.
"An instance of this assimilation &C.
ours to me-" he said. Il know a
worthy Neapolitan, one Paoli Cenci,
who came to this country three years
ago. Paolis little son, francesca, an
American citizen of seven, looked up
from his school books, the other eve
ming to ask:
Say, pa, what year was it you
Italians discovered us in?".

For Soiied Coat Collars,

To clean coat collars try the follow
ing way: Instead of a cloth, which
has to be kept in motion for a long
while to avoid leaving ring in place
Of spot, use an old tooth brush. Dip
1t into the naphtha until thoroughly
saturated, then a few brisk rubs and
the spot or CRIME has left for parts
unknown. The most delicate velvet
can be cleaned in this way, though 1t
would not be advisable to use brush
on any fabric like satin.
