No mechanical toy is more interest

toy to construct, and all Of the ma

found at hand, which are two reasons
why 1t Is one Of the most popular of
homemade toys, and why nearly
every boy at one time or another
builds one.
Figure 1 shows q small model

You will notice by the detail illustra'

VALUE OF SKIM MILK.

Many people have an idea that Skin
milk is not of any value as a 1000
which proves that we do not STUDY
food values enough. Skim milk mas
all the valuable properties OF milk
minus the cream, which are many.
The casein is left, which Is the pro-
teid food Of milk, and Is most vaiua-
bic as a builder Of tissue.
II you can spare 1t from the pigs
let the little people have it to drink
instead of water. If it must be bought,
O can buy two or three quarts OF
the skim milk for the price OF one
quart Of whole milk, and many most
desirable dishes may be made with II
which can not be told from that MADE
of whole milk. :,
For example, the much-liked Indian
pudding, which is made Of corn meal
two quarts of milk, a cup of suet, su'
gar and a few raisins and an egg or
two. The skim milk may be used ex-
actly as we'll, as the fat is all supplied
by the suet. Mothers Of large fam-
lilies would do we'll to study the value
Of skim milk and buy much of It, IN
stead of 30 much of the whole milk
A pitcher of milk on the table will
be a great food saver in other more
expensive foods.
Skim milk alone, Of course, would
be an unbalanced ration, but combined
with other foods which supply its tat,
it makes a most acceptable addition
to the diet.
All the various creamy soups which
are made from milk can be just as
well made from the skim milk, and no
one need know the difference. For
those who use milk in bread it is also
valuable. For white sauces, for cakes,
mullins, griddle cakes, biscuit and In
fact anywhere the whole milk Is used
SKINNED milk may be substituted.
Rice and tapioca can be cooked with
skim milk, and it will be found good.
When baking ham or chicken in
milk, which Is a favorite dish with
many, the skim milk may be used at
much less expense.

Boydton, Va.-Mrs. Fannie Boyd, of
this town, says: Il aE sure I would
have been in my grave, had it not
been for Cardui, the woman's tonic,
and I certainly cannot praise 1t
enough, for it is worth its weight in
gold. I am, today, a walking adver.
tisement for Cardui.
Before taking Cardui, I could hardly
walk across the floor, I was so weak.
I underwent an operation last spring
for womanly trouble, but feltn better.
After using s bottles Of Cardui, the
woman's tonic, my ulcers were all
gone, l can eat hearty without suffer
ing any pain, feel fine in svery way,
work all day, and can walk four miles
a day without feeling tired.
Please publish this letter, as I would
like for every woman to know what
Cardui did for me-"
Many letters, similar to the above,
come to us, unsolicited, every day.
This one should surely convince you
Of the merit Of Cardui, as it expresses
the earnest sentiment Of a lady who
has tried it. o.
If you suffer from any Of the numer-
GUS ailments so common to women,
such as headache, backache, nervous
ness, weakness, pains in sides and limbs,
sleeplessness, etc, begin taking Cardui
today. 1t will help you, as it has helped
so many others, in the past halfcentury.

Don't lay a greasy spoon or FORK

Don't blacken a stove while hot, or
don't blacken it at all, simply wipe
it off with a damp and slightly greasy
cloth and it will look and keep much
better.
Don't put damp clothes in the ham

Don't use a good knife or spoon

Don't pour boiling water on grease

Don't put soldered utensils on a hot

First Life Insurance;

None of you, L suppose, when You
sign the new Chronicle insurance
coupon, think of William Gibbons,
though you certainly ought to. For
William, who deserves to be better
known, was the first man to insure his
life. This policy was made in June,
1888, and was for the sum Of G383 6s
3d., for ~ months, 16 underwriters
dividing the risk. And this first pol
icy also produced the first insurance
law case, for when William died, in
the following May, the underwriters
attempted to maintain that II months
meant IL periods Of % days, and had
to be taken into court before they
would pay up.-London Chronicle.
