MANY THOUGHT
 MRS. E. BURTON WOULD SOON DIE
Gets Out of Bed and Does Own HouseWork After Taking Tanlac One
 Week

"I am 55 years old and have suffered 80 long from rheumatism and kidney dis orders that can hardly remember when have had a we'll day.
 "I was down sick in bed, and had two doctors working on me. but they did not do me any good and. in fact, would not say what was the matter with me. 1 was in despair until took this Tanlac. I do not know what 1t is to have pain now. After began taking this medicine I was able to get up in week and do my homework, and the terrible pain in my side Is all gone now. I am hungry nearly al. the time and can sleep good at nights
 Since seeing what this medicine has done for me about 20 of my neighbors have bought some, and they are all get ting fine results. For a long time most everybody thought was going to die, but I am here to say I will be here long time yet. T have only taken three bottles of Tanlsc, and feel 10 years younger. l certainly praise Tan,ac and believe it is the only thing that kept me from being in my grave. That medicine simply made new person out of me.
 "If anybody wants to know what this medicine has done for me, just tell them to come and look at me and see how well and strong I am now. I give Tanlac credit for every bit of the good 1t has done me, and now l preach Tanlac to every one that is sick and run down.
 The above statement was made in per son by Mrs. E. Burton. who resides at Ill Baker avenue.
 Referring to Mrs. Burtons statement. Mir. Willis said
 Mrs. Burton's case, while remarkable, is only one of many hundreds who nave taken it with the same results Tanlac proved great benefit to Mrs. Burton, because it contained certain medicinal properties which enrich the blood and promote a healthy appetite for nourlshing food, thus helping to build up flesh and strength in the natural way. Tanlac has been very successful in overcoming nerv- ousness and sleeplessness, not from a quieting effect on the nerve, for it has no such effect, but by strengthening the nerves and body and bringing back the normal state of health through its effect on the appetite and nutrition of the body"
 Tanlac is sold exclusively in Birming- ham by Jacobs Drug Store and Patton Pope Drug company under the personal direction of the Tanlac representatives, in Ensley by D. w. Morris Drug com pany. and in Bessemer by Pegram-Pat- ton.-Adv.

Grape Marmalade

We have many grape vines and the fruit Is ripe. I wish to put up some in marmalade. Can you give me a good recipe? MRS A. G. g."
 Use ripe, firm grapes If you can get them, but fair quality of marmalade may be made of wild and the less luscious kinds of garden grapes. Stem the grapes and measure them, allowing cup of su- gar for each pint of fruit. Prick each grape and put them on to cook in vessel set in hot water: cover cosely and stew until the fruit Is soft and broken. Rid it of seeds and skins by rubbing it through fine colander. Now add the sugar and cook until the conserve is of the right consistency. It should be as thick as jelly. Turn into jars and when 1t is cold cover each with melted parafin, then fit on metal tops. 1t will be much finer nan when skins and seeds are left in, yet have the flavor imparted by both.

How to Hull Berries

Maybe the accompanying item of do- nestle information may be welcome to some of your readers. Every little is & help In the days work. To hull berries without staining the fingers put them into the water and pick them out instead of washing after hulling. V. C."
 It must be done quick then or the more delicate varieties, such as strawberries and red and Antwerp raspberries will soften and depricate in flavor in the pro- longed bath. Strawberries should be handled as little as possible in capping and washed by putting them in a colander and pouring water over them quickly. They should not stand In 1t for half minute. If they are of your own rais- ing and picking they are sweeter and better favored if not washed at all.

Care of Milk

Pardon my not writing sooner about our way of taking care of milk. I have been busy. First, my husband washes his hands clean. washes and dries the cows udder, and milks as fast as possible. strain the milk through a cloth and with antiseptic cotton and cool 1t within 10 minutes after milking. I bottle before cooling. as the smaller the quantity cooled the better 1t will keep. It must be cooled 10 minutes after milking. I use well water to cool 1t in. It Is better than put ting 1t on ice. I keep what milk we need for ourselves in a tub of cool water on the back of the porch and 1t never sours. Now about our milk setting in the sun half day and not souring. I am not telling an untruth. We set 1t on the east porch. I wouldn't give my child milk from any COW unless she was tested. Dur ing the last year we have more than paid for her in milk sales. besides feeding her and the calf. which is now Il months old. We have also had plenty for ourselves. She cost a little beyond $10o. You see it pays to have a good COW and take care of the milk properly. F. M
 I frankly confess that our correspond ent's reply to my suggested doubt as to the expediency of leaving milk outdoors for hours together in warm weather is a distinct surprise. Will other managers of dairies please express their views upon the point? We have room for all useful novelties in housewifery.

 will you kindly settle this question for me? Where was John Philip Sousa, the bandmaster, born? I say in Wash- ington. D. c. My friend says in Italy. Who Is right? I will look for your re- ply in the Corner. HELEN R."
 John Philip Sousa was born in Wash ipgton, D. C., November 6, 1854. His parents were Antonio and Elizabeth tTrinkhaus) Sousa. He taught music when a lad of 15 and conducted an or chestra at IT. He received the decora- tion of the Victorian order in England and decorations of distinction in France and Belgium. The United States may we'll be proud to claim him as a citizen. The warm discussion aroused by tho assertion in the Corner that General Sheridan was born in Albany, N. Y, might make us timid in writing con- fldently the preceding items of bioG raphy were the facts less firmly estab- lished. The contest of Phil" Sheridans birthplace is still going on.
