was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local reme-

A Symbol of Health.

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temperance
and purity. As badge they used the
five pointed star which they regarded
as q symbol of health. A red five point
ed star appears on each package of
Chamberlain Tablets. and still fulfils
its ancient mission as a symbol of
health. If you are troubled with indi-
gestion, biliousness or constipation,
get a package of these tablets from
your druggist. You will be surprised
at the quick relief which they afford.
Obtainable everywhere. ADV.

WAYS of Using Smoked Beef.

In these days of high food prices, I
find smoked beef great standby. I
buy It done up In paper boxes lined with
waxed paper, costing eighteen cents q
box, and It keeps moist for several days.
Half q box crlsped In butter In sauce
pan, makes good substitute for bacon,
fine for garnishing an omelet, or q dish
of scrambled eggs, or Il may be served
with baked beans or Dreamed potatoes.
From colored cook I learned the
easiest way to cream 1t. Tear the beef
into small pieces, and put in 9 sauce pan
with tablespoonful OF butter; when
butter is hot and melted and the beef
beginning to crisp, add generous table
spoonful of -four and blend we'll. Then
add two cups Of milk and dash Of pep
per, and let boil until Of the desired
thickness. No salt 10 needed, the salt Of
the beef being sufficient.
