Old Fashioned Pumpernickel

"Can any one give a reliable and ex- plicit recipe for the old fashioned German pumpernickel? Not just the ordinary rye bread or 'Schwarzbrot of light color but the real dark brokn, moist and de- liciously hearty pumpernickel that our grandmothers baked? Is it asking toe much of you to get this recipe and print it in your Corner as there are a number of readers who would like to have 1t, but are unable to find it. READER ''
 Our canny and gracious hausfrauen will answer your petition, as the editor can- not. They will recognize what you would have. We have printed divers recipes for the German dainty. but I cannot testify 10 the identity of any one of these with the moist and deliciously hearty pumper- aicael our grandmothers baked"

 It Is the rose quality in woman that makes her beloved.
 And
 The lily that keeps her remote.
 Only little child ever senses that 8 woman-its mother-is like a dove.
 We cannot deny that there are certain women who possess the serpent qualities much as we may hate to do so, but these are only surface deep generally.
 All the qualities named in the little
 toast have place in her composition, and their uses even the little honey that is used to mix up the handful of clay. Is woman then to blame if out of the mortal elements fused in her she fails to rise a creature all spirit to the skies?" At best
 She is but a handful of clay, even if the
 ones who love her her with eyes that refuse to visualize any quality ex- cept the one they hold most dear in her. To the one who loves her like the rose,
 because she is like rose, she becomes the perfect rose. To the lover who adores her because of
 her spotless purity she is the lilly of his dreams" a flower from heavens own altar. Dl1 To the one who knows that a serpent
 sleeps deep in her heart, and who pro- voleth the same, the harmless little gar ter snake of her wrath may assume the proportions of a boa constructor and deal
 him the blow he expects. Also
 There are times when the honey in her | composition, leaveneth the whole lump of clay, and she becomes sweet she
 maketh the very heart that loves her best feel a surfeit She's very plastic creation-woman is. So sensitive to vibrations that she re- spends to what you think she is. Wherein
 Is the miracle of faith demonstrated. l Believe her rose and she fairly be- comes one under the spell of the poetry with which you invest her why not then," someone asks, say

 My husband got me some medicine but it did me no good. I suffered that way for week. Finally, a motherly old lady told me to get a bottle of Cardui, the woman't tonic, and I kne W 1t was a good medicine from the start. took it according to directions, and in a short while I felt like a new per- son
 Cardui is like a dear friend to come and take hold and do women's tire some work. Now. when I have heavy work, such as washing, ironing, sweep ing, or sewing, take dose of Cardui and it seems to go to all my aching places and relieves me almost in- stantly.
 I advise all suffering women to give Cardui trial. It will do wonders for them"

 One of the chairmen, in recounting the many delightful things that have happened to assure the success of the ball, told of an incident which showed the true spirit of interest and gen. erosity prevailing among the local merchants.

U. S. GOVERNMENT PATRONIZES
EUROPEAN SEED DEALERS.

American seed dealers are M in
arms because the United States Govern
ment placed its order for seeds with
European dealers and has ignored a
home industry.
one English seed firm received an or

this year FOR nearly forty-four tons
OF flower and vegetable seeds. Many
hundreds of acres must have been under
cultivation for tho production Of this
enormous quantity of seeds and tho

Very few agricultural seeds were in
cludcd in IN" order. ~ many largo
seeds such as peas and bpans.
Four other European firms werc also
favored with Government orders. one
in England. two in France and ono in
Holland
American dealers say that the dis
tribution Of free seeds Injuries the whole
sale and retail secdsmen and that
these seeds arc distributed by Sena-
tors and Congressman. presumably for
the purpose of obtaining votes. AS there
can he no other object I'm giving away
seeds OF plants that have been sold by
dealers for years.
The number of packages given away
this year was 10000, 600 an increase Of
100000 over tho number Of packages
distributed in 1913.
II IS now believed that the confer
encc committee will recommend con-
tinuing the distribution. and that tho
action Of tho Agricultural Committee Of
the Senate in reporting against the
free seed distribution will not be con-
firmed.
