Garlic as q Medicine.

'"I have seen much in the papers of the advantage of eating garlic and put ting 1t on the lungs for consumptive per sons. l know that eaten raw it is a won- derful remedy for stomach trouble and nervous affections. I have used it for three years and have gained much good from it. A good dish for the whole fam fly is prepared as follows: Mix chopped nuts with cold boiled rice, make into cakes and fry brown. No meat is needed when this dish is served. A pleasing addition to it is tomato sauce. If you have once tried this you will be glad to serve 1t again and all the family will like 1t.
 "MRs. w. l.. s.
 I am glad to have this recipe, but would suggest adding a little seasoning in the way of butter salt. and pepper, and per- haps a trif1e of onion juice to the rice. Will the mixture stick together we'll with out an egg? As to garlic. I have nothing to say against it except that the asso- ciates of the person who uses it are likely to suffer from the remedy unlesB they are lacking in a sense Of smell or can be per suaded to take some of the garlic them selves. It has a powerful and permeat- ing odor which fingers long on the breath. I am grateful for the help the correspond ent has sent Mrs. B. W. and for the sym pathy she expresses for her.

 , like to give the Cornerites my
 recipe for California mince pie. We like it better than the legitimate mince pie. I can enough of it in the au- tumn to last all winter, and everything in it except the sugar and spice comes from my garden. Here is the recipe: One peck of green tomatoes, chopped fine. Drain and scald twice; two pounds of seedless raisins,' chopped; one cup of chopped suet, two tablespoons of salt, five pounds of white sugar Cook until tender and set aside. When cool add one cup . of vinegar, two -scant tablespoons each of ground allspice and cinnamon, one nutmeg, ground, and two tablespoons of candied lemon peel. chopped fine. Heat again and can as you would fruit. Each part that is to be chopped must be chopped separately. I would like to ask the privilege of finding an exchange through your columns. am greatly in need of typewriter. but cannot afford to buy one. although the reconstructed machines arc on sale cheap If any of the readers has machine and would like to exchange it for beautiful Angora cat. thoroughbred and highly pedigreed. 1t would be a great favor, and also, I hope. to the person owning tho type writer. The Angora has most affection ate disposition and some pretty little tricks. The pedigree would be furnished with the cat. N. E."
 The recipe for the mincemeat is grate- fully accepted and will, no doubt. be used with pleasure by those who have found the regulation mince pie tax upon the digestion. As to the exchange. can say nothing. but put the offer here and trust 1t may meet a response.

H q Lonely Cabin.

" Having heard and read much of tho good work you do through the Corner, I venture to hope that some kind hearted person may be willing to provide some pennants to decorate the lonely cabin of a young man who has had to leave the city and his dear ones. and is now living in utter loneliness. with nothing to gaze at but bare walls. He is seeking to regain his health and can only afford to provide himself with absolute necessities. A dictionary would be highly welcome. as well as the pennants. The initials of this young man are c. S'' It is hard enough to go away from one s home. family. and friends in search of health even under the most pleasing cir cumstances. All sorts of luxurious sur- roundings make but poor substitute for the domestic and friendly circle and the change is the harder when one must make 1t alone and in poverty, I am sure there will be ready response to the appeal for pcnnants. and. hope. for the dictionary also.

When Cooling Rabbit.

wish to say that when Aunt Maud save directions for cooking rabbit she left out one important item when she omitted to state that the little pocket of musk in the fieshy part of the hind leg should be taken out. If this is not done the meat will have a strong. wild taste which will not be at all liked. MRS. s. 0. g."
 Thank you for the caution. I suppose |" Aunt Maud took it for granted that this pocket would be removed in the course of cleaning the rabbit for cookery. Still. it is well to be warned of the risk of spelling the dish by little oversight

 In looking over the paper saw that a woman had written asking for child to raise. We would like a little girl under 5 years and would give her good home schooling, and the best of care. Of course, we would furnish references. Mo" Here is a chance for lonely little girl to find home where she would be looked after and made welcome. I hope some one Eay know of just such a child as is needed and may be ready with references to prove the child's health. etc. In any case of adoption both sides must be guard ed for their own sake and care must be taken that the future of the adopted child Is as assured as possible against unlsind- ness, neglect, or poverty and lack of edu- cation l will give the name and address of M. c. to any one who wishes it.
