One Life Comes In
 As Another Goes Out
By Sms. J. B. REID

Side by side seven women prepared to infatuation of their mortal enemy-the drug habit. The Pisgah Home gave them every comfort-the trained nurses and the doctor did their share
 It was a leap for life worth while and they each knew it, and preferred the chance of a cure rather than the forlorn hope of unceasing suffering
 All are run down in strength and nerve. but one especially weak in frame, vet strong in character and will power. I stood near her and saw her trembling hands as she braided her hair. Are you nervous? 'iNot because I am afraid but I have been without the medicine and begin to feel it now. I am not afraid, because I'd rather die than live to be the wreck I have been. And dc you know this is a solemn oecasion2'
 Her mother waiting the treatment, too lay on a cot by her side As look over the room l can only say:
 Now we lay us down to sleep. We pray the Lord our souls to keep. If we should die before we wake, We pray the Lord our souls to take
 She shook hands with me with a mes sage for her little girl.
 Sunday night she died-laid down to sleep her last long sleep--the mother was stronger and will wake again-a new woman. She has a double duty now, the child and her own strength. She will be brave because the daughter died in brave fght-a firm sense of right.
 No soul dies a martyr when the sac rifice is made knowingly and for the purpose of making good.
 And as she looked around she saw how death, the consoler, laying his hands upon many a heart. had healed it for ever.''
 Strange the bond of fate. The same sleep that carried one soul to rest in another corner brought another into the battle Of life.
 Another patient, seeking the cure. un- consciously to herself while she slept. be- came a mother The little girl lives and the mother is doing well. Strange this little stranger crept into the world al- most on a battlefield.
 Here science was battling with an ex- pertinent to give a new life to the tor tured souls who were victims of habit, and this child coming has emphasized the miracles that are to be-has furthered the experiment with nature.

 It fs wonderful to think of how many have stood the test and feel the treat ment is cure, a boon to man, and how many are waiting, yes, begging, to sleep.
 They are strong, in that they want the cure. poor tortured brains and aching frames. Science is the result of appli- cation. Everything has an experimental stage. This period seems to have passed, the cure is certain when nature yields to

WOVEN TABLE MATS POPULAR
For Use Under Hot Dishes Nothing More Satisfactory Has Ever Been
 Put on Market.

Nothing has ever been found more satisfactory to put under hot dishes than the old-fashioned woven table mats, and of late there has been quite revival in their favor, especially as It does not require any great amount of ingenuity to learn how to manipu- late the frames upon which they are woven.
 These frames come in a box contain ing several sizes. so that a set for meat dishes and several sizes in vege- table dishes may be made
 After being woven on the frame crosswise, the points where the crossed threads pass each other are caught and knotted with either white or light-eolored twist In cutting the finished mat off from the frame. fringed edge is formed and the mat not only launders well, but literally lasts forever. The writer has a set of these mats made quite ten years ago by delft old lady. These have been in constant use. some of them washed each week and they have scarcely yet begun to show signs Of wear-Exchange

OPPORTUNITY IN THE SOUTH
Many Advantages of Southern Farmer Told to Association of American
 Agricultural Colleges.

Opportunity for meat production exists in the South, which, if devel- oped, would lower the cost of living for the average household" said Dan T. Gray of North Carolina before the Association of American Agricultural colleges. Cheapness of good grazing lands, longer grazing season, cheap labor, cheap shelter and the abun- dance of cottonseed for food, he cited as cattle-raising advantages possessed by the southern states. He declared. however, that the farmers of the South must go through considerable period of agricultural education be- fore they will do anything with this chance to make good in the cattle in- dustry. The conditions are there, but there are certain obstacles that will have to be removed before the beef industry can be an accomplished fact. he continued The obstacles that con front the department workers who are encouraging the utilization of all the resources of the South are the igno- rance on the part of the southern farmer on the making of good pasture, his neglect of cottonseed as an avail able feed and the lack of transporta- ton facilities

Sweet en this while it is hot and set aside to cool. Then pour it into a large bottle or pitcher and set in a pail or deep kettle, packing ice around 1t. When ready to serve pour into glasses three-quarters full and heap on top either sweetened md whipped cream, or a tablespoonful of ice cream
 Iced hocolate.-Melt two quares of chocolate in a double boiler and add cupful of granulated augar and a cupful of water. Let this mixture cook from the fire, add teaspoonful of vanilla and set away to chill in a pitcher. When ready to serve half fill large mixing glass with chopped ice, add two tablespoonfuls of the choco- late sirup, fill up the glass with good sweet milk, cover with a shaker and shake thoroughly, strain into glasses and put whipped cream on top of each. Do not mix more than a large glass of this at time. It will make three small glasses. This method is much better than boiling the chocolate and milk and then chilling, which ufuaffy forms sediment.

COOPERATION IN DAIRYING
tion Thirty Years Ago-Depended Too Much on Grain.

l have had good opportunity to observe the grand results of co-opera. tion as my husband was, manager of a cooperative creamery in Denmark for years
 Some thirty years ago Denmark faced a situation similar to that the South does today As the southern farmer mainly depends on his cotton crop, so did the Danish farmer de- pend on his crop of grain. but when America began to export corn to Flu rope, little Denmark lost out in the competition, writes Mrs. C. s. Chris. jensen Of Thorsby. Ala. in Progress sive Farmer The soil was impover- ished by the constant growing of grain, and there were no other natu- ral resources for industry.
 In this time of distress the idea of co-operation-alrea tried for years in Great Britain in the form of CO., operative stores-oecurred to some clear-sighted men. as their very sal vation.
 As natural result of the failing grain market, the farmers turned to dairying, each one making the best possible out of his own little busf- ness; but when the idea of co-opera- tion in dairying was agitated among the farmers. they began to see that unity gives strength. and some of them took courage to try
 In 1882 the first cooperative cream cry was opened, and tooay there are nearly 1900 handling the milk of at least 100000 COWS.
 Now could not We take up that idea Of cooperation in dairying?
 In the northern states it has proved a success. More cattle will enrich our soil. the production of butter and pork will give money all the year round. We know there is no risk in producing butter and pork. as those articles always are in good demand
 Of course it takes time to build up dairy business; most of the farmers keep only one or two COWS. but if they knew how profitable it is. they would make every effort to increase their stock as quickly as possible and work together in building up their homes and their economic independ ence

 Apple and AImonds.-Core then pare nice, well-favored apples, which will cook well without losing their shape. Cook in thin sirup until nearly tender and fill with almonds which have been blanched and cut in quarters.
