In fact. Standardization has been
thought to be forerunner of the devel-

If tuberculosis is due to lime loss, the
success of Eckmans Alternative in it's
treatment may be due in part. to its con-
tent of a lime salt so combined with
other valuable ingredients as to be easily
assimilated.
Always We have urged consumptives to
attend strictly to matters of food, but
often some effective remedial agent is
needed. In many cases of apparent re-
covery Eckman's Alternative seems to
have supplied this need. 1t contains no

Unable to Improve On.

Maryland Spring Chicken - Clean
spring chickens and disjoint them and
then wash them in salt water. Dry
thoroughly. Sometimes the Maryland
cook sOaks the chickens for two hours
in salted water. but, although this
method of preparing them plumpens
them. it is likely to lessen their flavor.

the chickens when they are in it. Then
roll each piece OF chicken in -four and
then drop into the fat, which should
be very hot. Fry until Drowned on
both sides. Drain moment on paper
and serve on hot dish garnished with
sprigs of parsley. Pour off most OF
the fat and thicken the remainder
with Drowned flour and add to it cup
full of rich milk Stir until smooth and
pass with the chicken.
Fried Tomatoes.-These are especi-
ally good with roast or broiled meat
of any sort. To prepare them cut firm
tomatoes, perfectly ripe, that have
been washed and dried, in slices half
an inch thick without removing the
skins. Dust the slices with pepper

a good plan to mix the pepper and
salt with flour and then dip the slices
In the flour. Brown well on both
sides in hot olive oil or butter. COOK
carefully to avoid breaking the slices,
but cook thoroughly. as they are bet
ter when cooked through. Drain on
paper and serve very hot.
Fried Green Peppers.-Wash sweet
green peppers and cut in halves. Re
