COULD NOT walk
And For Four Years, Could Not
Stand Without Support.

Chillicothe, Ohio-"Nothing pleases
me more than to speak word Of
praise for Cardui, the woman's tonic
says Mrs. Ed Davis, of this town,
"for firmly believe that it snatched
me from the grave.
I have been married IA years, and
had two children. After the youngest
was born, was not able to walk, and
for four years, was not strong enough
to stand on my feet five minutes at
the time, without something to support
me.
Nothing seemed to do me any good,
until, finally, l commenced using
Cardui, the woman's tonic. l only used
about four bottles, but, today / am
well, can do my work, and walk as far
as want to.
can never praise Cardui enough,
and my neighbors cannot get done
wondering at the change in me-"
You, too, can depend on Cardui, be-
cause Cardui is a gentle, harmless,
vegetable tonic, that can do you moth
ing but good.
Prepared from vegetable herbs, Car
dui has specific effect on the woman
ly constitution, and puts strength
where it is needed.

PRACTICE SAVING IN KITCHEN
Proper Use Of "6y-Produets" Will Do
Much to Reduce Bills From the
Butcher.

To apply a manufacturing term to
our household materials and methods
our kitchen by products" should be
more carefully considered than they
often are; and by this expression is
meant waste materials. The by-pro-
ducts of meat are more often lost than
those of other foods, and this is a great
increasing in expense. Bones are chief
among them and fat All bones may
be quickly turned to good service by
being washed, covered with cold wa
ter, heated gradually and made into Il
broth. which even If small in quantity
will add flavor and some nutriment to
gravies or soups. We must learn to
use these meat f1avors to help reduce
the cost of living by making gravies
and vegetables more palatable.
AS to the fats. they are not always
made as full use of as is possible.
For shortening cakes, ETC.. for deep
frying and for soap every bit may
be used with little additional labor.
TO prepare it suet is cut in small
pieces, covered with water, allowed to
soak for a day, the water being
changed once. When drained, 1t is
put in kettle with one-half cupful
skim milk to each pound of suet, and
cooked slowly until sound of boiling
has ceased. When partly cooked the
clear fat is drained from the scraps
A combination of leaf lard or chick
en- fat with beef fat yields a softer
product. Whether sliced bacon is fried
on top of the stove or baked in a pan
In the oven, large proportion of it

be saved to use for browning vege

SALT PORK PROPERLY FRIED
This ls a New Method, and the Results
VIII Justify the Time Spent
on It,

Here's new way to fry salt pork:
Slice salt pork in slices a little
thicker than bacon, remove the rind,
place in a skillet of cold water and
add quarter of a teaspoonful of soda,
bring to boil. Rinse with cold water,
dredge with flour and place in light
ly creased skillet.
Sprinkle lightly with red and black
pepper and sift in a small amount Of
sag Now sprinkle with sugar about
as one would salt the same amount
of fresh pork Do not use too much.
Lastly dust with nutmeg to give
a pleasant aroma, but not sufficient
to taste. Fry light brown on both
sides and remove to hot platter.
Pour off the grease from the top,
leaving about two tablespoonfuls of
grease the skillet.
Place in heaping tablespoonful Of
-four in skillet and stir till it becomes
rich brown. Pour in about pint
of milk and bring to a boil.-Season
with salt Serve with gravy and
meat separately.
Spinach with a dessert of hard
boiled eggs and vinegar, Is an excel
lent accompaniment to the above.

baking soda), stale bread; pinhead
oatmeal, or rolled oats. Dry bread
crumbs or rolled oats may be mixed
with hard-boiled eggs, making about
one-fourth of the mixture egg. Feed
the bread crumbs, rolled oats, or
johnnycake mixtures five times daily
for the first week, then gradually sub
stitute for one or two feeds of the
mixture finely cracked grains of equal
parts by weight of cracked wheat,
cracked corn, and pinhead oatmeal or
hulled oats, to which about five per
eel. of cracked peas or broken rice
and two per cent of charcoal, millet,
or rape seed may be added. A COM
mercial chick feed may be substituted
IL desired. The above ration can be
fed until the chicks are two weeks
old, when they should be placed on
grain and a dry or wet mash mixture.
Washes mixed with milk are of consid-
cradle value in giving the chickens a
good start in life, but the mixtures
should be fed in a crumbly mass and
not in a sloppy condition.

When done very tender take out the
meat, but keep broth boiling. Pick the
meat from the bones, chop it, and add
butter, pepper and salt. Take all fat
of broth, then pour over the chopped
chicken. Then press it, put plate on
top with something heavy to hold 1t
down. Set on ice and when very cold
slice 1t and you will have delicious
supper or breakfast dish.

clothing for the entire family. Every
southern farmer can do as well, and
should aim to keep at least fifty hens
for laying purposes and home con-
sumption. Select some of the Ameri-
can breeds, such as the Plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes, or the Rhode
Island Reds. The Orpingtons are also
good general-purpose breed.
On almost any farm there can be
fitted up, with very little, if any, cost
for new material, poultry house that
will answer all the purposes of more
expensive buildings for keeping poul-
try. The essentials to success in hous-
ing are fresh air, sunshine, a dry
floor, and a building that is free from
drafts.
1t takes a healthy, well-fed flock to
produce eggs. Fowls must not be al
lowed to become too fat, as but few
eggs will be laid by hens in such con-
dition. To prevent their getting over
fat, it is best to make them work for
most of their feed by scratching in a
litter composed of about four inches
of dry straw. leaves, or chaff. The fol-
