RURAL DELIVERY GUESsES THE
 coNUNpRUMS.

Dear Social Corner Editor and Friends: s:-October; the beautiful fall month, has made the forest a fine pie ture to look upon with it's leaves of many colors. The evenings are be- coming longer and the Social Corner writers will have much spare time to help make the department better than ever Let us remember the Editor is the Captain. Let the writers keep the sails in good condition.
 Crimson Rambler: Yes, 'taters are dug, pumpkins thrashed, beans pulled, squashes yanked from the vines, and cucumbers saved for seed.
 Husking bees were among the times of my life years ago, and l much en-
 joyed finding red ears; the boys stop ped planting white corn so to have all red ears, which broke up the huSking
 bees, as the girls said it was not fair
 play.
 Theoda: How are all those 800 chicks? Hope you have saved them all, and that they will bring you good
 returns.
 Paula: You say you know who I am. You have the best of me. Thanks for your kind words. You and Keziah
 Doolittle are the mysteries of the Corner
 to me. Hope you can meet Aunt Abby;
 you will find her ready to receive you
 with pleasure and make you feel at I home.
 Sings of the Tongue by Aunt Hester is well worth remembering and Should be tackled up for reference in the med icine department of the home. Kitty Clover: The clover is all harvested, also the fall crops. A rough guess on your conundrums: A wealthy fisherman uses the silver hook; Rob- inson Crusoe had Eve to help pass away the lonely hours; the full moon is much like man who is full, heavier
 then when half full; a ton of coal comes to ashes.
 Joan: How is your eye? Hope you are much better. There is no worse
 trouble then the loss of ones eye sight.
 Annette: The husking bee and roll
 call was fine. I was not aware there
 writers. I think we should all lave much sympathy for the Editor to l0ok after such family, and keep such harmony with them all. Merry Far mer must felt highly honored to have | had so many come to her home. All enjoyed one of those old-fashioned times our mothers used to talk about I think Sweet Sixteen and School Girl will not be so shy of red ears after they have attended few more gatherings. Potlatch3 I was glad to read your | letter in the Corner. Come again and | tell us of the far West. Papa's Boy: Have you had smash up with your auto? Is that the reason you are so silent? Hope such is not | the case.
 With best wishes to all the Social Corner writers.

HIS life since that tfrneQhas been Ohio. - N'',>-' .',.
 His death was sudden He was ap- parently in his usual health and had worked all day. He had eaten asf1earty supper and had sat. and talked with nls wife long time, after which he nad gone out of the house. to attend 10 other duties promising to return very soon His wife. thinking. he was longer than he had planned, went to look for him, and found him lying dead in the cellar. A physician was called and the cause of death was tprp- nounced to be heart failure
 MT. Bromley was considered one of the finest and most. skilled mechanics In Geneva He was a great lover of noWers and at different times had forged and manufactured out of steer some exquisite specimens of water lilies, carnations and roses He had also colored these flowers in almost exact representation of their.prototypes in nature He was tender-hearted of a sympathetic nature and had as well a vein of humor. He wrote several poems and rhymes, some of which were published. He was possessed of rnusf- cal talent and some of his rhymes have been set to music.

Dear Cornerites: Here I am again with a few lines to the Sisters.
 What beautiful weather we are hav- ing, and what a beautiful sight the trees present just at present! It won't be very long now before they will pre- sent very bare look, when the beau tiful. foliage will all go the way others before them have gone, and cold weather will be with us.

Just try again, please. don't live more than a mile and a half or two at most from you. Used to see you quite often on the trolley, but not so often lately. I can't hardly give you clew as to who I am, for don't think you know me; but in my next will tell you something that may help you a little.
 What told you about in my last letter seems to be not very much better.
 Write me as soon as you get back home and trust by that time I will nave pelIeF news TOT you. Am awful sorry about the trip up the line. Will it be too late then?;
 Golden Glow: Why don't you write :? Don't drop out; we must keep up tine list.

QUEEN ELIZABETH ENJOYED THE
 HUSKING- BEE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Would like to thank all for the good time I had at the Husking-bee and roll call but I must have been one of those who stood off in the corner and responded way down in my throat as there hasn't anyone guessed who I am, or if they have haven't let on.
 Crimson Rambler: Would be pleased to see you at my house. and if you care to call will tell you how to get Norwich.
 Rumble Bee: How is the little bee? Busy as ever? %s
 Was surprised to see how few of the Cornerites I did know, when, I looked over the roll call; but will close this, hoping to meet more of the sis ters soon. &sF

RECIPES AND SUGGESTIONS
 FROM J. A. X.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends:-I have a few choice recipes I am sending in this week:
 Coffee Cake-One cup of brown two eggs; half cup molasses; one cup of strong coffee; one teaspoon Of soda; two teaspoons of cinnamon; one cup of raisinS or entrants; and five cups of four Rub the fruit in a lit- tie flour before adding it to the cake.
 Sugared Potatoes-Parboil six good sized sweet potatoes; peel and cut in thin slices and arrange in cooking dish, then pour over them syrup made of one cup of white sugar, one half cup of water, and one teaspoon of butter. Put on the stove and sim mer for nearly an hour, then let them cook quickly until the syrup is nearly boiled away. This makes hearty dish for persons who do not eat meat.
 How to Make Parsnip Stew With out Water-Peel and slice four good
 t':9d notatOes into cold water, two good-sized parsnips the same; fry out four large strips of fat pork; drain out the potatoes; and spread them over the pork in the pan; dust with pepper and salt; then add the parsnips on top, dusting on more pepper and salt; cover and cook on slow fire, stirring freque1tly, until they bevome well Drowned and tender.
 A Few Hints and Helps.
 Before frying fish put spoonful of dry salt into the pan, and rub the bottom thoroughly before putting in the drippings or fat. The salt pre- vents the fish sticking to the pan as it Is sure to do otherwise, no matter how much fat is used.
 Try adding tablespoon of kerosene to quart of boiled starch to prevent the iron sticking.
 If milk is not plenty use water for making custards or cakes; you will find, it serves nearly as well.
 Tack several thicknesses of news paper behind the stove or sink to pro- tect the wall. Then when one gets soiled tear it off leaving fresh piece.
 To keep fruit jar rupbers from one year to the next, put them in box or jar and cover with dry flour. When you want to use them, wipe off the dry flour, and the rubber will serve as well as new ones. Take two or three old cotton sock tops, cut open and Joined together make a fine duster. More of them are excellent mops; and the feet are nice for cleaning the stove.
 Hoping the readers of the Social Corner may find something helpful in this letter, I wiU say good night with best wishes for all.

HOW PAULA MAKES cIDER-APPLE .-. BUTTER.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- I am sending you some of my recipes:
 cider-AppIe Butter-Use sweet cider of good quality and apples that readily cook Boil the cider down one-half; wash, peel quarter and core the ap- ples; then boil together rapidly, equal amount of apples and boiled down cider If the boiling is slow the ap- ples at once sink to bottom and are liable to scorch; after the first two hours constant and vigorous stirring is necessary to prevent burning Add sugar at any time after the stirring be- gins. If the butter is not sweet enough spice the butter with cinnamon and clove to suit the taste. Seal it in jars. -.
 Farmer: I saw you at Norwich Fair. I don't think you were very much impressed by the sentiment I heard you express near the grand stand.
 Corn SaIad-Eight large ears of sweet corn, three large onions, one small head cabbage, one bunch celery, three red peppers; Ctake out seeds). one e-fourth cup salt one quart and pint

Keep Your Lungs StrDng

This advice is doubly important with the knowledge that every three minutes some one in the United States succumbs to consumption and many refuse to realize they are afflicted until 1t is too late.
 It is after colds or sickness, from over work, confning duties or when general weakness exists that tubercular germs thrive because the resistive powers of the body are weakened.
 Only with fresh air, sunshine and abundant rich blood can one hope to arrest their progress, and the conce4 trated fats in Scott's Emulsion furnish fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish- ment helps strengthen the lungs while it builds up the forces.
 If you work indoors, tire easily, feel languid or rundown Scott's Emulsion is the most strengthening food-medicine known and is free from alcohol or stupe- fyipg drugs. Avoid substitutes.

HOW SHOULD CHILDREN Bl
 DRESSED.

Dear Social Corner Friends:-The question of how much or how little clothing the children should wear is never more perplexing than at this season when one day is like July and the next real shivery-like
 More than one mother has given a slgh Of relief when she learned that the "bundling-age" is no more; at least, not with those mothers who hold their children's health as their best asset
 Without doubt 1t is perfectly safe to put off making the change to heavy clothing till December first.
 For the toddler, who is more or less exposed to draughts, part wool shirts and stockings are most desirable The shirt should come well over the ab- domen.
 Fur caps or fur collars should be avoided as they cause the child to perspire freely; hence a cold is easily contracted. Woolen stockings are most uncomfortable to grown-ups, as they cause the feet to perspire, leav- ing them cold and clammy. A woolen petticoat, or one of heavy outing flannel is also necessary for the | toddler. Leggins are used only during the coldest weather.
 For children past the toddling-age, sCme mothers find the medium weight | tieeced underwear sufficient for the | winter season. The heavy weight stock l AiiSo lS pTSlOIdDl6 lO IIe WOOIon TOT growing children Medium weight | head wear is advisable. and covering the ears is considered an old-fashioned much-to-be-avo unless a physician has advised otherwise. If children have proper nourishment. are provided with warm rather than
 cumbersome clothing, are allowed to | exercise freely, are not housed in | over-heated, poorly ventilated rooms,
 parents need have no fear of the win
 ter season. Under proper conditions, growing. healthful children contract
 colds seldom, and when they do. their
 systems throw off the colds quickly. It is well to make the change in | night clothing at the same time as the day clothing. Nothing has been found
 to be as comfortably warm, serviceable
 and inexpensive as the outing flannel | gown.
 For the toddler the blue or gray | checked is very serviceable, made eith-
 CT with the draw string in the bottom or with the feet For the older chill | cozy to slip on when going from room | to room.
 For the toddIer a light weight sack
 is handy to slip on these cool Fall days.
 l Mothers are every day called upon
 to use their own judgment in the mat | ter of their children's clothing; and no | longer do they desire to see them of | the hot-house variety. tft | How I pity the little pale-faced, much abused youngsters who begs to romp
 and play like other children, or to | slide down hill, but is given as an ex-
 cuse for being kept indoors: You might get wet and catch. the pneu-

am going, to tell her how made some that was very nice a few years ago. Apple 6utter-I like to get cider Put over the fire in large agate or porcelain lined kettle and let it boil down half. Then add any tart apple that cooks well. sliced as you would slice for apple sauce and boil until the apples ares thoroughly cooked. As lit tfickens you will need to stir al- most continually for it burns easily. Sweetcn to taste. It will need very little sugar if you can get cider made from sweet apples.
 r. Hope You will have good luck with it.

GREAT GRAN RECALLS Al
 INCIDENT OF THE CENTENNIAL.

Appetite Follows
 Good Digestion

Nearly everyone indulges their appetite and the digestive organs are abused, resulting in a con- eestion of poisonous waste that clogs the bowels and causes much misery and distress
 The most effective remedy to correct this condition is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin known as pr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is a natural, pleasant-tasting remedy, gentle yet positive in action, and quickly relieves in digestion, constipation, sick headache. belching. etc. Drug stores sell Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, and in thousands of homes it is the indispensable family remedy. For a free trial bottle write Dr. w. B. Caldwell, 451 Washington St. Monticello, III.

Expert Tribute to Ford Cars.

Harold w. Slauson, motor car
expert of Leslie's Weekly, has
this to say. "All the points of
Ford construction that you have
brought out have been thoroly i'm
pressed upon me thru correspon-
dence with Ford owners and thru
practical observation of, and ex-
perience with the car itself. l
do not believe | realized before,
however, that nearly all these
features have been produced
without change for the past sew
en- or eight years, and this only
seems to emphasize the wonder
full scientific genius and foresight
of Mr.. Ford. Beyond that, there
isn't much that needs be said
of the scientific reasons for, and
the spirit and permanence of
Ford Service. 1t means that
a hve-year-o old Ford is kept run
ming precicely as easily as a ten
day-old Ford. 1t means that the
Ford is and has been for
years a stable standard, and
invarying product Of economy.
Even the tremendous fact OF
600, 600 Ford owners is less sig
nifcant than the fact that they
always stay Ford owners. Mr..
Slauson has hit upon the reason.
