Relation of City and Country.

With US, cities are as certain to
spring up with the increase of country
population as the forests are to disap-
pear. City and country are organically
related. Crops cannot be grown with
out fields, nor exchanged and manufac-
tured under the modern system of di-
vision of labor without cities. Only
in the rudest pioneer settlements do
men dispense with this division of Ia
bors by doing everything painfully and
badly on the farm. Such settlements
are retarded and hampered until they
have towns for the city part of the
work. When we estimate that the av-
erage inhabitant of New York may
have but a few score square feet for
his own use,. we are apt to forget that
he can only exist on them because
somewhere in the country there are
acres of ground producing for him, as
really and definitely for him as If he
owned them and hired the labor OH
them, what Professor Penck has
called his "sustenance space. Mark

the McIntoshes and Camerons ever at

following suit. Imagine the introduce

further, that two foreign nations are
perpetually intriguing among these
distraught Highlanders trying to win
clans over to their respective sides.

Probably the most spectacular and

A Beautiful Woman

Her complexion was just like peaches
and cream, and she didn't have a wrinkle.
Well, don't envy her, you can have a
complexion just like hers. Here is the
wonderful secret. Purchase from your
druggist two ounces of Casosterine and
add to four ounces of water; this will
make massage cream which should be
used each night. Also purchase two ounces
of Borosterine and add to eight ounces Of
water; this win make a greaseless cream
which should be used directly after the
massage. In short time you will be sur
prised to see the bloom of youth return to
the sallow cheeks, the pimples, blackheads
and wrinkles disappear, and once again
you can wear your favorite colors. If
your druggist is unable to supply you, send
one dollar direct to the Cootes Labora-
tories, Norfolk, Va, and you will receive
these products By return mail.

About Paprika.

Now that paprika is being so much
used 1t is apropos to pass on hint
given by a man who is a connoisseur.
He says paprika should be spread out
on paper and left in the sun for
three days, which brings out its true
flavor, making it far more appetizing.
Nearly all cooks are now using it in
French dressing. A bit sprinkled on
cream cheese is delicious in brown
bread sandwiches; and what could be
nicer than mealy baked potato, that
has been broken open enough to put
inside big lump of butter and gen.
erous sprinkling of paprika, all so
quickly done that it is-must be-
served piping hot.

FIND GINGER A HELP

MENT AT THIS SEASON.
Nothing Better for Desserts During
Retween-Season Lulls-Preserved
or candied It Will Be Found
Equally Acceptable.

There are several between-season
lulls every year when fresh fruits are
not at their best. In the late autumn
there is a period when peaches, grapes.
and pears have passed their prime,
and oranges, grapefruit. apples, and
nuts have not yet reached theirs.
Then the housekeeper and cook must
put their wits to work to give their
menus flavor. Preserved ginger helps
solve the problem, so far as desserts
are concerned.
Ginger cream Is one of the good
things to make with this candied
fruit The ingredients needed for it
are a cupful Of milk and cupful of
cream, half an ounce of gelatine. the
yolks of three eggs, two ounces OF
sugar, little lemon jelly, two ounces
of candied or preserved ginger, some
diced candied fruits, and half a gill
of ginger syrup.
If you use preserved ginger, drain
off the liquid in which it is preserved
If you use candied ginger. soak 1t for
half an hour in just enough water to
cover it, and then simmer it gently
for fifteen minutes. Drain and use
this syrup and use the drained ginger
where candied or preserved ginger
is called for.
Melt the jelly and pour it, with the
candied fruits, in the bottom of
mold. Tip the mold from side to side
until the jelly hardens. so that the
ginger will be held in place evenly
over the bottom of the mold. Heat
the milk in a double boiler and pour
it slowly over the egg yolks, beaten.
Then thicken this custard in the
double boiler. Remove it from the
fire and add the sugar and the gela-
tine, dissolved in the ginger syrup.
Cool it. Whip the cupful of cream.
add the ginger, cut in small pieces,
and stand 1t aside until it is almost
set. Then pour it in the mold and
let it harden. Serve chilled.
