NATIVE HERBS AND THEIR

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: One of the Sisters was asking for names and uses of our native wild plants, shrubs and herbs. I will men, ton few of those with which l am familiar I will call them by their names as they were called in ''ye olden times"
 Sweet Fern-A small bush. The berries steeped make an excellent rem edy for sore mouth and throat
 Hardhaek - Often seen growing by the roadside, is used in fever and for night sweating. The common field daisy is also. used for the same pur- pose.
 Red Glover Blossoms are great Indian Posey and catnip are used to break up fever.
 Burdock Leaves are a sure remedy for acute pains in. any part of the body. With them apply as hot as pos sible and if the case Is very severe sprinkle them with new rum, changing them every 20 minutes. I once cured a bac case of pleurisy that way Walnut Leaves and Yellow Oak Bark steeped together make a fine gargle for canker sore mouth. Wild Cherries and Rum make one of the best remedies for summer com plaint. Put them in a bottle and fill it up with rum; let stand a few days and it is ready for business. The Bark of the Cherry Tree, in cider brandy, is good for chills and fever and rheumatism. Wild PIantain Leaves bruised and bound on a sore or brulSe Will relieve pain and soreness.
 and is used to cleanse the system ot | impurities.
 | Hops are one of the best known remedies for the nerves. Make a tea ot them and drink on retiring. They are perfectly harmless.
 l Sumach Buds are used for diph- | thretic sore throat.
 | A Bottle of Tiger Lily Blossoms
 in rum should be kept in every home ! for it is 9. sure remedy for wounds and sores of all kinds.
 Extract of Wintersreen is fine remedy for the kidneys. If you car get the herb and extract it yourself you get the sure thing. The oil IS
 recommended for rheumatism. Sage is excellent in colds. and il
 taken hot on retiring will sometimes break up a cold.
 The Inner Bark of the Slippery Elm is q fine thing for colds, sore throat: and coughs.
 Muliein Leaves, Steeped, Stra1n anC add as much molasses as you have fsyrup; boil until thick as molasses
 This has been known to cure grippe cough when all other remedies failed
 You can flavor it if you like. Lavender is used as a nervine.
 Of course, everybody knows the sal drawn from our native sugar mapl, trees makes our sugar and syrup WI enjoy so much on our cakes in wintel Elderberries make good wine. and
 tea made of the flowers is good to coo
 the blood after being overheated. Hoping the Sisters may find some

THE LAW OF PROSPERITY.

Dear Social Corner Friends: I have noticed that several have asked that we write more for the mind and less for the stomach. The Man Who Talks surely gives us plenty of food for re- fiection in his excellent department. always find something to think about in that column and have been greatly benefited thereby.
 The Law of Prosperity-This is the law of prosperity. when apparent ad- versity comes be not cast down by it, but make the best of it and always look forward for better things. for conditions more prosperous. To hold yourself in this attitude of mind is to set into operation subtle. silent and irresistible forces that sooner or later will actualize in material form that which today is merely an idea
 Never give a moment to complaint, but utilize the time that would be spent in this way in looking forward and actualizing the conditions you de- sire.
 Suggest prosperity to yourself See yourself in a prosperous condition. Affirm that you will. before long, be in a prosperous condition Affirm it calmly and quietly but strongly and confidently. Believe it absolutely Ex-
 pect it. Keep it continually watered with expectation. You thus make your self a magnet to attract the things you desire.
 Don't be afraid to suggest, to af-
 firm these things. for ty so doing you put forth an ideal which will begin to clothe itself in material form In this way you are utilizing agents. among the most subtle and powerful in the universe.
 If YOU are particularly desirous for anything that you feel is good and right for you to have, something that will increase your usefulness to others. simply hold the thought that at the right time. in the right way and through the right instrumentaEty there will come to you, or there will open
 up for you, the way, whereby you can attain what you desire.
 All you've got to do is to know things are right, because they are right Everything is coming along fine and you just. feel it coming. Do not say: Tt can't be dones' That l is setting limits to Gods mercy and
 saying He cant possibly do as He pleases. Great Grandma. Joan. Dollie and Annette, as well as a number of other | writers, all seem to be interested in the New Thought doctrine which is | all old thought after all. It seems to me it all resolves itself into the one ] verge. "Aa ye SoB.- so shall ye also

 The new cranberry dried bean is soaked, boiled. then should have add ed celery and onion. cut small: sea- soning.
 The economical housewife can fry steak cod nicely by first dipping slices in milk, then covering with pulverized bread crumbs (kept dried.
 Whites and yolks of eggs beaten separately produce finer grained cake.
 New earthenware dishes will never crack in hot oven if first "toughened' by immersing dish in cold water bringing to boil, then gradually cool ing.
 Wall paper may be cleaned of dust by rubbing gently with a flannel bag containing wheat bran. To get rid of mice put crumpled ur paper containing red pepper in mouse holes. After catching five or six in a | trap I happened to think a friend told me of this and tried it. There was one mouse I know chewed at the paper and the pepper burned his nose and he disappeared.

ETTA BARRIERS HOSPITAL ExPE

Dear Sfstesr of the Social Corner:-- I venture to write to the Social Corner once more although I may be forgot ten by this time
 After being disappointed in being able to attend Aunty No. Is lawn party I hoped I could go to Aunt Ab- by's or to the fair but just before the lawn party I was whirled away to. St. Joseph's hospital, Providence, and on- ly came home few days before the fair, and then had to spend several days in bed resting from the home trip.
 I like many others, had dreaded the hospital where I had been told every thing was machine work and you had just the care that you must have places, but where I was doctor, nurses and sisters worked, day and night for the comfort of the sick. T s- Just before I went to sleep" the Sister Superior bent over me and said T shall pray for you all the time you are under ether"
 Some things were very sad. One old lady who had had her arm taker off at the shoulder was happy because it was her left arm and she could work with her right
 One woman acted like a cross be. tween a spoiled child and a mad. dos because she had to be covered with g blanket and could not drink watel every minute while she was recover | ing from the ether and came neal killing herself, and made every one | near her uncomfortable; but I found most of the patients very pleasant Those living in or near the city were well supplied with flowers ant fruit by friends and most of then | were very generous to share witt those who lived at a distance ' The hospital fare compares faYorab | ly with that served in boarding. houses
 The house fare consisted of, breakfast coffee. oatmeal. and toast, with some times boiled egg; dinner, soup, mea potatoes, green beans, corn or -toma
 toes, and pudding; supper, bread an,
 butter and sauce and tea Milk wa
 served forenoon, afternoon and at bed | tin1e
 Soup, custard, eggs in milk, etc, wa. provided for those not able to eat tn

Editor Social Corner. I was sur prised to learn we have among the Social Corner writers "A Dreamer who knows the value of the mo- break

 I have read all the books mentioned by A Dreamer. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Dewey and was the first convert the author of Perfect Health had in Norwich and one. of the very few who have made abstinence a life covenant.
