 Colored pegs will make pretty pie thresAof houses and other things which the mind will suggest. Blocks, games books of pictures, flowers and songs can be substituted at different times. The children can dress up and bring some little thing wrapped up in box or paper. and visit the patient pretending they are someone whom the patient has seen or heard of and mann ma can pretend to be the Dr. and deal out the medicine.
 One must be careful not to allow too much play or excitement. Without saying anything about it, take away what is amusing the child and sub- | stitute something else, o- tell a story l or sing a song. so as to give the hands and eyes a change and rest.

Sickles last week and took particular pains to examine the blood. Next week killed off a pair of Rhode Island Reds, blood looked just the same to me; but by heck if they kill any chickens at the County Fair this year, your Uncle Silas will be right there and learn what kind of blood it is that takes the prizes.
 Brought home a new lunch basket 'tother day, and Sally says she felt like throwing it at my head. 'twarnt half big enuff. She says she likes to have enuff to eat when she goes to the Fair anyhow. Baked a big pan of biscuit today. roasted a pair chickens made whole lot of apple sass, besides a batch of cookies; told her she was taking too much along, but she said she might run into some of the neigh bors that was short, and she could help 'em out; besides city folks like a bite sometimes if they don't have to cook it.
 Wan, I guess naow I'll finish up my chores fetch in the water and an arm of wood, for you see Sally and me will have to be up with the birds in the morning to get the churning out ot the way and the milking done Almost forgot to put a little mutton taller or those old shoes of mine.

HOW TO ENTERTAIN
 INVALID CHILDREN.

Dear Cornerites: Again have thought of many of you. as being to- gether and enjoying another of the Corners good times. The summer is waning and the season for picnics and lawn parties will soon be over, so en- joy yourself while you may,
 We older people who are shut in or convalesing often find that time hangs heavy on our hands, and we wish for something we know not what, to break the monotony. We want something new. something to make us forget our aches and pains, and to relieve our poor tired selves. This being the case of grown ups. it must seem worse for little children. who are just recovering from a severe sickness. or when an accident has kept the little ones in bed.
 The mother. owing to anxiety and sleepless nights feels discouraged worn-out and irritable. and can hardly see how she can keep her child from fretting. although the doctor Is very emphatic when he gives his order under no circumstances. don't let the child fret, or get excited"
 The doctor don't tell how to do 1t and the mother while struggling witt her housework and perhaps caring fol other children must solve this problem herself.
 She can soon find many ways tc amuse and interest her patient. soms of which the older children. or the child can do without her assistance while she attends to some other pres

A REPLY TO ;. A. K.

Editor Social Corner:-Since IA has expressed a desire to hear rom me again I gladly respond She IS right when she says I believe we bring dis-ease upon ourselves. and do not believe the Lord orders our affiica- tons It is the truth that makes us free, and ignorance which brings to us sin, disease and death.
 the cause of sickness is an uu- nutritious diet the way to cure the trouble is to change the diet Drugs cannot correct such fault
 If rheumatism is caused bv too much uric acid resulting from -unvfse combinations of food and drink we must remove the cause to be rid of the rheumatism. Some drugs will neutralfze or antidote the acid. but to be free of a superabundance of uric acid one must eat less food that has 1t in. If you stop putting the acid producing food into the stomach the effect-rheumatism be re- moved.
 Iola's experience is not different rom my fathers. He was a rheu- matic invalid for nearly 50 years he was bed-ridden for several years TOT months at time he could not feed or dress himself. his hands were drawn out of shape and he was drawn over so he stopped when he walked.
 He ate everything, suffered everything and still after he abandoned patent medicines and drugs of every kind he had his 20 most comfortable years Pure fruit acids do not produce rheumatism. Lemon or orange or grape fruit juice do not produce rheu- matism; all fermentitious acids like vinegar and new or old cider do. Su- gar taken with acid fruit in quantity causes fermenttion in the stomach and rheumatism may result. Authorities upon heredity say on dis aa ho f,h l1~ tendency to 1t. which some other ten- dency may overcome and produce a different effect
 No one in my fathers family eyer inherited rheumatism-there were seven children.
 1 am satisfied there Is something wrong with J. A. Ks diet. She has had enough of doctors and enough of abstinence of a kind Her orange juice and ginger cakes are a bad conI- bination for breakfast or any other time. Plain coarse bread and butter would be more healthfui.
 I once had difficulty in checking an acute attack of rheumatism and cut out one kind of food and then an- | other without effect and finally stop ped drinking a cereal coffee and The cure was immediate. These acute , attacks of rheumatism are caused by a baneful diet not because of my fath- { CTS chronic physical condition. know of the case of a bed-ridden woman who ate two meals a day breakfast and dinner, and still her rheumatism held her down She abandoned her breakfast and ate only dinner. and 30 days after the change she walked three miles to call on a ! friend. one-half the distance over pfowed ground
 I should advise J A. K. to try the no | breakfast plan. eat some coarse whole . some bread, moderately of starchy ! foods and leave meats out and be- | lieve she will be better.

DOMESTIC HELPS.

Dear Editors and Friends of Social Corner: I send you a few recipes, hoping they will benefit some one.
 In boiling meat or fish, place them in boiling water for five or ten minutes to coagulate tho albumen on the suf- face and imprison the juices; the re- mainder of the time cooking ST ould be in hot water just below the boiling point.
 In roasting meat in an oven use a dish with double bottom, or one dish within another. the bottom one to con tain water: the evaporation of the water prevents the drying up of the roast; frequent basting accomplishes the same purpose.
 Eggs should be cooked in eight or ten minutes in hot water, not hot enough to boil; or placed in boiling water that is then allowed to cool; water that boils violently Is no hotter than that boiling very quietly. Take tomatoes just before they be- gin to ripen and wrap them each one separately in heavy wrapping paper and you will have ripe tomatoes tc

GOOD eUccE0TIcas FRcro DOT.
 TIE.

To Social Corner Sisters: Do you know, Sisters, it is nice to write through this Corner to each other; but don't you think the mail could carry the Corner for the betterment of the readers? I do, for one. I am kick ing I suppose, but so many of our readers would like to know about flowers, and some about Christmas Ideas; others about chickens: then there are those who would like to know how to spend a dollar for the fit things to keep the body in perfect health, now eatables are so high. What can we get for the betterment of our body and strength and not have it cost too much?
 Like the Sister from the West who wrote a few, weeks ago, she wanted to know What to do with left overs?" to keep the family a going.
 Cake, cookies, pies ndpuddings are nice, but with sugar on the top shelf can we not think of something else that will take it's place in part.
 I know of one lady who said she was always making mistakes in her diet.
 think we can learn lots about the different herbs that grow. What they are good for, and when they should be gathered. This looks to me like knowledge and a way to improve our minds as well as our bodies.
 Do you know all kinds of fruit and vegetables that grow above ground and are sun kissed are better for the body than those that are underneath the ground? Also, that we should live as much as possible on these veg etables if we wish to be healthy and not so quick in temper? Fruit seems to take that spirit of temper from us and make us more child like and trusting; and as we go down life's pathway we feel more like putting our hand in that of God, and saying He leadeth us along life's highway; that he will never leave us or forsake us, till we get through with life; and then we shall meet Him and the loved ones face to face.
 To Cure Poison Ivy: Take a couple l of handsfoll of the leaves of sweet fern; pour a pint of cold water over them and let it come to a boil; strain; take a cloth and bath the poison well with corn starch; then wet a cloth and spread over it. Renew it about every thirty minutes. A sure DOTTIE.
