WEARY OF WASHING DISHES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: hay @ been much interested in the letters written lately by A Crank. J. A. k., Dreamer and others. I wish The Crank could persuade my folks to go without eating for a while. I might then per haps get time to do something besides cook and wash dishes. Am afraid, though, they might reach the condi- ton of the miser's horse-"jest as he got used to goin' without eatin', he up and died" f...4s
 Personally, I have never known but one who went without breakfast for any length of time. understand 1t ruined her digestion and made her i'll.
 Now, Helpmate, I don't believe you could make bread of sawdust, but do know that delicious nlince pies are made of green tomatoes and that cake without eggs may be both edible and "fillin'."
 It is nice to see so many new pen names appearing in The Corner, but always look first for the old friends, and. if they have not written, wonder why. BETSY BOBBETT.

PREPAREDNESS IN SICKNESS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Can any of the sisters recall a time when sudden sickness came and there was nothing ready? Night dresses were either too much trimmed to be com fortable or too few to be changed when needed. and sheets. pillow slips and blankets were not plenty when there was no chance to wash.
 A plain pillow slip, or night dress, is better than one that must be guarded from accidents, and a strip of rubber sheeting. or even table oil- cloth, or a piece of old quilt will pro- tect the bed, and if placed over the bottom sheet and covered with a draw sheet. a yard wide and long enough to tuck under at both sides, it is easy to keep the bed clean. -
 Every woman should have a. ki- mona, or bathrobe, not for show, but for real use; and a pair of soft slip pers or shoes and a small cape. shawl or even a piece of blanket to protect the shoulders when ill, or if called up in the night.
 And again, save old white cloth and pieces of flannel. I was told re- gently of a case where a wealthy fam fly could not find a strip of soft white cloth for the doctor to use on cut, but had to go out and get bandages before the cut could be dressed.

of the egg seems to catch around the obstacle and remove it. If one egg does not give relief try another. The white is all that it is necessary to use.
 To Heal an Old Sore-This is an old pioneer remedy and was given to grandmother by one of the early set tiers. She took half a cup of fresh lard and about one teaspoon of cal omel and stirred into lard with stick of wood, or a skewer would do nice ly. Then she took good, strong feather, dipped it into the prepared lard and went lightly over the sores (there were three on the leg between the ankle and knee). She then laid a thin cloth over the sores, but didn't bind them, and grandmother said the pain was almost instantly relieved and the sores healed so per- fectly that neighbors were worried for fear. she would have a sick spell but she didn't feel any effects from the rapid healing, and the sores were all we'll in a few days. This remedy has helped many people and I am passing it along in the hope it will help many more

IS A WISH A PRAYER?

Dear Editor and Social Corner F'riends:-Is a wish a prayer?
 While these two terms are not pre- cisely identical it would seem from the following incident that they are near akin.
 A friend of mine called on a boy aged IA, who was sick with consump- tion. She asked him if he ever pray ed.
 "No," answered Willie, "I never prayed in my life, but I told God I wished He would make me well, and if He could not I wished He would make me fit to die.'' The visitor replied: Your wish is just the same as a prayer"
 After many months the little sufferer passed to his reward. His death was peaceful, believing that God had grant ed his wish. M
 If, then, wish is substantially a prayer, how careful we should be in wishing bad luck. to those whom we dislike. Did you ever recall that these wicked wishes are ineffective, as often times the n1-luck that Is wished seems to react on the wishers, and prosperity seems to come to the ones who are wished ito have trouble.
 Thus God apparently rebukes those who harbor these feelings, for 'sHe moves in 0 mysterious way His won derS to perform"

GREEN TOMATO PIE NOT TO BE
 DESPISED.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: We all know that the green tomato pie has 20 per cent. more water in it than the meat nince pie for which it is a sub- stitute. It tastes just as well to me and digests more readily. My mouth for mince pie has never been satis- fled, but I was glad when this excel lent substitute made it's appearance It is just as palatable if it is not quite as bracing.
 I agree with the endeavor of Help mate to have information spread as to food values. The man is fortunate who has a wife who knows how to feed his family for health instead of dys- pepsia.
 It doesn't seem as though a pound of sweet potatoes could be as nour- ishing as pound of best porterhouse steak. but by Helpmate's estimate of the value of protein they must be, as they stand relatively 21.9 protein to 21.3 in a pound. A pound of porter house steak costs 35 cents and a pound of sweet potatoes three cents. The cash value of sweet potatoes gives us 12 pounds for the price of one pound of steak. The protein in the steak is 21.9 units. the protein in the sweet po- tatoes 255 1-2 units. or Il times as much sustenance for the same amount Of money. This may be a helpful hint to someone as to the way, of getting

MONA QUICKLY
 ENDS INDIGESTION
Eat Your Favorite Food and Never Fear After Distress

There is a way for you to eat what ever your stomach craves and do 1t over again the next day. Many will say How wish I could but have tried and every time it nearly kills me-"
 The real trouble is that people who suffer the untold agony of indigestion, do not properly care for the stomach.
 Every stomach has lot of work to perform in digesting the food and if crowded with extra labor it rebels and kicks up a fearful disturbance.
 Mi-o-na, a simple, harmless, mex pensive and most effective prescrtp- tion, easily obtained at any drug store, will quickly stop this disturbance. M-o-na was especially prepared to regulate out-of-order stomachs. It not only helps the over-worked digestive organs by increasing the flow of gas- tric juices, but surely and safely builds up and strengthens the stom- ach walls so that the stomach can care for the food as nature intended.
 It's needless for you to suffer with indigestion, heartburn, bilious ness, sour, gassy or upset stomach, for Mi-o-na should give prompt and last ing relief Do not delay but get some of these health-restoring tablets from Lee & Osgood today. If Mi-o-na does not banish all stomach distress, there will not be a penny of expense.

HIGH LIVING AT LOW COST.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: Through the courtesy of the Ea- itor I received your card, Balsam Fir. Yes. you guessed right. I am the friend of old standing, and was glad to know you remembered me. Was sorry I could not attend the fair this year and meet the Sisters at The Bull letin tent.
 I enjoyed reading the interesting let ter of Sarah Ann Tige concerning the privileges of going to town. I find from my experience in living in the larger cities that one has to be doubly economical owing to the higher rents and advanced costs of foodstuffs. To enjoy a respectable locality and have ample supply of provision for the ta- b1e require considerable thought in the art of purchasing to advantage.
 A few suggestions for cheap but wholesome dishes may not go amfss:
 For Salisbury Steak-I get two or three pounds of neck beef and grind it myself very fine with a large onion and three or four crackers. Season with salt and pepper and Bells poul- try seasoning. Shape oblong. sprinkle with crumbs and bake in the oven. This will feed four or five and costs less than 35 cents.
 A Cheap Recipe for Pork Sausage Purchase from your butcher two or three pounds of the blade end (the chime) of fresh pork, which many butchers discard, but can be bought for three or four cents a pound. Grind this with a few crackers and pack it very tightly into dampened salt bag Tie it tightly and slice it as needed This should be seasoned with salt, pep- per and mace.
 Salmon Outlets are also very appe- tizing and within the means of all. ] take a large tablespoon of butter and melt in saucepan, then add enough flour to stiffen this with. Have a little more than a pint of hot milk and join this to your flour and butter which has cooked a few minutes separately. Add the milk slowly and be sure it is stiff Now pick over your salmon and add to the mixture and stir thoroughly. Af- ter it is heated through place in shal- low pan to cool. Form into shape. dll in flour, beaten egg and cracker crumbs and fry golden brown in deep hot fat Your salmon will cost you about It or IS cents. making palatable entree for five or six people.
 People are at times at their wits ends to econonize on a scanty purse but find that at present cost of meats it is far cheaper to purchase fowl or chicken than to buy the higher priced cuts. Not only for the savory dishes obtained, but for the excellent meal it provides. --= : ------- --,---
 generally buy fowl and boil it. obtaining the soup. I skin the fowl and grind the skins up fine and make delicious crouuettes. Then. T, Drown the fowl in the oven and serve as roast If there is anything left I gen. orally make a hash or salad of this. return the bones to the pot and have my second soup with rice or vegeta- bles.
 If there is any meat that more can be obtained from than the chicken. ] wish the Sisters would inform me- ] trust some of the Cornerites will try some of these recipes and find them as tasty as I have.
 Hoping we can try and reduce the high cost of living, am as always,

we have paralysis, but what is the use of being resigned when a bear is about to attack us. That seems to me the time to get the gun; if you dc not do it the bear is likely to eat you up.
 There never was a truer saving than this: ''The Lord helps those wf1 help themselves" Jesus did not tel the healed lepers and others that He cured them, or that the LoAd did it, but he repeatedly declared: Thy faith has made thee whole" The New Testament teaches, if it teaches any : thing, that cooperating with The
 Spirit brings results. It seems to me

ECONOMY IN HOME CANNED
 FRUIT.

Dear Social Cornerites: wonder if any of you have ever made a com parison in the prices of food preserved at home and those bought at the stores. I tried it this year and feel convinced that when working people wish to enjoy these luxurieS they should be put up at home. Tomatoes at bargain prices sell for s1 a dozen (the large cans), from a 12 quart basket of tomatoes which bought during the season for 20 cents. preserved quarts of tomatoes, so my tomatoes cost me but 2 1-2 cents a quart From one bushel of tomatoes made 30 pint bottles of catsup. Tomatoes cost me 7S cents a bushel and 35 cents for spices; corks for, bottles cost Is cents (always use new ones), making a total of SIPS. As the best catsup costs 20 cents a bottle you can see the saving.
 Cherries I bought from a neighbor for cents a quart. From 20 quarts of uncooked fruit I had ten quarts preserved: sugar was cheap at that tme; I. used two and one-haH pounds which amounted to ten cents. which gave me my ten, quarts of cherries for Il cents a, quart.
 With me strawberries cost the most of any of the fruits. bought 12 baskets for s1 and had but 5 quarts preserved. These require very little sugar.
 Rhubarb can be preserved by sim ply putting the stalks into the jars and filling up with cold water, fas- tening the tops on tight. I have a friend who tells me that she also pre- serves huckleberries in the same man ner.
 wonder if any member of The So- cial Corner has ever done them that way. I did not know of 1t until af- ter the season had passed so could not try it, but intend to another year. AUNT NANCY.
