Great Popularity of Plan to Sell Medi-

In addition to selling a soc bottle OF

Fogg has so much faith in the remedy
that he will refund the money to any
one whom it does not cure.

Mrs. Frank White, who lives in one
of the camps on the opposite shore
from the Mountain View House at
Rangeley, was out fishing with very
small hook for smelt. which are now
often caught and make a good supper
fried crisp and brown. She had
caught number when suddenly
something happened. She was aware
that it was no half-pound smelt For
long time the sport went on as the
fish did not care for the little hook for
lunch, but could not give it back
Mrs. White is a good angler and did
not get excited, but with skill and
care reeled in and netted the salmon
which brought the scales up to the S.
pound notch.

For darning stockings use crochet

cotton, as 1t does not harden when
washed
Scorch marks in linen may be re-
moved by rubbing with fresh cut
onion, the garment being soaked in
cold water after.
If paint spots stick to window panes
do not use a knife to loosen them. A

them perfectly.
Keep some folded newspapers handy
upon which to place soiled pots and
pans, and save cleaning smutty rings
from the tables.
To sweeten closets, small pieces OF
charcoal laid in the corners and upon
the shelves of closets will absorb
dampness and dispel unpleasant odors.

PACKING THE PICNIC BASKET
Cracker Boxes Make Excellent Recep-
tacles for Cake and Sandwiches-
Care of Beverages.

This is the season for picnics, and
proper and careful packing of the
picnic basket will go far toward the
enjoyment of the meal itself
Everything possible should be
packed in boxes. Cracker boxes are
excellent for cake or sandwiches; but
II tin boxes are available. these are
even better. Wrap all sandwiches and
cake in waxed paper or line the box
In which they are placed with waxed
paper, in which case a sheet of the
paper should also be placed between
each two layers of sandwiches or cake.
Such condiments as salt, pepper and
sugar should be placed in small paper
bags and then packed all together in a
small box. If fruit is taken, especial
iy fruit having a strong flavor and
odor, as oranges or bananas, sepa-
rate box or basket should be provided,
as. while good In themselves, one does
not wish everything to be favored by
these fruits. Naturally, only firm, ripe
fruit should be used, and 1t should be
carefully cleansed before packing
Such things as olives or pickles are
best carried in screwtopped jars; then
there is no trouble incurred in getting
them out of the container at lunch
time. For drinkables, sweetened lem
on or orange Juice is easily trans
ported. while iced coffee and tea can
now be carried in vacuum bottles or
jars. These beverages, If properly
iced before placing in the vacuum bot
ties, will retain their coldness until
needed.
