After using a gas stove for baking
leave the door open a little while to

Avoid .,.uaSiye cough Medicines.
Il you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines that
contain iodine, morphine, heroin and
other sedatives when you have a cough
or cold. An expectorant like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is what is needed.
It cleans out the culture beds or breed
ing places for the germs of pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That is why
pneumonia never results from cold
when Chamberlain Cough Remedy is

Picked Beets.

Picked beets are made by selecting
half-grown beets and boiling in lightly
sailed water until tender. Remove the
skins without putting in water, as is
usually done, so that the bright red
color can be retained. Have ready
enough boiling-hot vinegar to cover
the beets allowing one pint of sugar
to each quart of vinegar, and table
spoonful of mixed spices. Fill, sterll-
lied wide-mouthed jars as full as pos
sible of the beets, pour in the boiling
vinegar and seal.

until it went ont Of power (March 4,

that singularly irregular were the rela-
