PRESERVING Mint,

Drying is the best method. The mint
should be picked just before it flowers
and should be gathered on a dry day.
Wash it thoroughly, spread on brown
paper and place it in warm oven to
dry quickly, taking care, however, not
to let it burn. When it is dry rub the
leaves from the stems, cool, put into
jars or bottles and cork tightly. The
following recipe for mint sauce, using
dried mint leaves, is recommended:
Three tablespoonfuls of finely chopped
mint leaves to two gills of French
vinegar mixed with three ounces of
powdered sugar.

Bowels are Basis
OF Child Health

The careful mother, who watches
closely the physical peculiarities of her
children, will soon discover that the
most important thing in connection with
child's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
tite, restlessness during sleep, irrita-
bility and a dozen and one similar evil
dences of physical disorder.
At the first sign of such disorder give
the child teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night if
necessary-more than that will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover it's accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.
This remedy is a vast improvement
over salts, cathartics, laxative waters
and similar things, which are altogether

Mrs. Carrie Mcdonald, 1896 Trigg Ave-,
Memphis, Tenn, and Mrs. Sallie E. Grif-
fifth, Veechdale, KY, are always supplied
with DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin, and with
them, as with thousands of others, there
is no substitute for this grand laxative.
1t is really more than laxative, for it
contains superior tonic properties which
help to tone and strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels SO that after a brief
use of it all laxatives can be dispensed
with and nature will do it's own work.
Anyone wishing to make a trial of this
remedy before buying it in the regular

Scrambled Eggs.

A scrambled egg can be made to
seem quite an important dish if a
tablespoonful of milk and a dessert
spoonful of breadcrumbs are mixed in
with it. Pour the milk on to the
crumbs to soak them. Beat up the
eggs in the usual way and stir the
soaked crumbs into it.
Scramble all together lightly and
quickly. A single egg done in this way
seems as much as two done by the
