And yet, even as he told about his

there had said. I must be on the

BEGAN YOUNG.
Had "Coffee Nerves" From Youth.

when very young I began using
coffee and continued up to the last six
months" writes a Texas girl.
II had been exceedingly nervous,
thin and very sallow. After quitting
coffee and drinking Postum about a
month my nervousness disappeared
and has never returned. This ia the
more remarkable as l am a primary
teacher and have kept right on with
my work.
"My complexion now Is clear and
rosy, my skin soft and smooth. AS a
good complexion was something I had
greatly desired, / feel amply repaid
even though this were the only benefit
derived from drinking Postum.
Before beginning its use l had suf-
fered greatly from indigestion and
headache; these troubles are now un-
known.
II changed from coffee to Postum
without the slightest Inconvenience,
did not even have a headache. Have
known coffee drinkers, who were
visiting me, to use Postum a week
without being aware that they were
not drinking coffee"

IheSe are times that try women S
business capacity to the utmost. Try
ing to keep up the food standard with
all food stuff at almost prohibitive
prices lis no cinch'-as my boys say.
The family has always had well
balanced rations and this must be
kept up. So Mother" begins to study
how she can, keep up the standard
without using the high priced egg.
There are so many articles of food
with prices within the reach of all
that may be used as a Breakfast dish.
For the family who breakfast at diff
ferent hours the pancake fiours put
up in small packages are invaluable.
Any of them are good. Try them all
and give the family change. Many
of them require only the addition of
water, but milk makes the cakes
more delicate. There is this adVan-
tage-one can make just enough bat
ter to serve one person at time.
Many of these may be used in waf-
fies or mullins and with a "rasher"
of bacon or link of sausage makes a
breakfast for any man.
Cornmeal mush, oat meal or hon.
my sliced, rolled in flour and fried
carefully in .drippings, served with
syrup or sugar will make variety
and even the one in the family who
likes eggs best will probably not miss
them if you put a little thought into
making nine eggless cakes and des-
serts.
Cream Toast.
Cream toast is a most maligned
article of food: Very few know how
to prepare it. The cream or white
sauce should be cooked at least 35
minutes in a double boiler.
To one cup of warm milk add a
pinch of salt. Take one even table
spoon of corn starch wet with one
table pooh of cold milk. Blend until
perfectly smooth. Put into the warm
milk. Stir until it is as thick as
cream. Set back on range allowing

Corn Starch Pudding.
A simple corn starch pudding made
as follows: To one quart of milk,
after cream has been taken, put in
double boiler. Make five even table
spoons of sugar This may be put
into the milk without blending Add
very slowly stirring all the time.
When it begins to thicken add one
half teaspoon of salt and either a
piece of stick cinnamon or a strip of
orange or lemon peel. This should
cook-not rapidly-but half an hour.
Stir often to, avoid skin forming
on the top. Pour into molds that have
been wet with cold water Set aside
to cool gradually. May be served with
any fruit juice or cream.
Hard Times Cake.
Cream one cup of soft butter with
one cup of dark brown sugar, two
and one-half cups of flour. Sift again
with one teaspoon of cream of tartar,
and half teaspoon of soda. Add one
cup of milk (either sweet or sour to.

Select your seed sweet corn from
the growing plant, noting not only
the size and evenness Of the ear and
grains. but the number produced on
a stalk. Turn the husks back. using
them to braid the ears together. You
then have convenient package for

Dig the potatoes, and after they
have dried for q few hours sack them
and store for a few days In an airy
place, then put them in the cellar.
Sweet potatoes will keep better II
they are dug before the vines have
been touched with frost. Sweat them
before storing; it improves them.
The celery will need banking. Be
careful not to get earth In the heart;
it win cause 1t to rot.

Lettuce can be sown In cold frames
for fall and early winter use.
Radishes can also still be sown sue
cessfully in cold frames.
Mulch the rhubarb with manure. 1t
will feed next springs crop, besides
protecting it.
Asparagus tops not already removed
should be cut OF and burned.
All melon, squash and pumpkin
vines should be collected and burned
as soon as they have been killed by
the frost.
Keep the garden free from refuse.
AS fast as any crop is harvested, re-
move the tops or stumps and burn
them, to get rid Of any insect pests
or plant diseases that they may be
harboring. This applies to potato tops,
corn stubble or cabbage stumps.
Squashes and pumpkins should be
stored in cool, dry place that is
frostproof.
Pick all beans, both shell and Lima,
before frosts kill the plants. Shell
and dry them for winter use.

but are more in form like scullions.
Yet in the early spring before snow

refreshing to be able to find an onion

should be set in autumn, and thus the
stock renewed from year to year.

ALFALFA FOR POULTRY YARDS
One Of Best Plants to Furnish Green

Alfalfa Is one of the best plants to
furnish green food for chickens, but
ordinarily it soon kills out II over
pastured.
Alfalfa crowns that have been cut
off and plowed under, and that have
taken root again, are much harder to
kill out, as many have found by re-
peatedly grubbing out the same stool
that has taken root the second time.
Such crowns seem to put out shoots
from each piece of root that is left
in the ground. If the soil is In favor

Those who desire to establish al
falfa in their poultry yards can sue
coed In this way by blowing or spad-
ing under alfalfa crowns that have
been near by. Early in the spring
is the best time, while the crowns are
still dormant. The crowns should be
covered four to six inches deep, and
the soil wet down and kept moist,
and the chickens kept OF until the
crowns have become established,
which will be much sooner than by
alfalfa seeding, and will stand much
harder pasture.
