'My dearest! II the hi4SAG
And tenderness of manly trust
Can bless thy life, thy love must,
In darkness and in light,
Forever turn to thee, THY goodness TO
requite.'
Many a girl looks out on a stormy
morning with a thrill of keen d1sap-
recruitment in her heart. why couldn't
today have been clear and some other
day have been stormy? He will not
come this evening.
The girl with her first sweetheart
turns away, doing her best to hide her
discontinue. She goes about her du-
ties without putting the usual amount
of heart in them. There's no song on
her lips So much for dOlefuI ant1c1-
patton. She doesn't don her pretty
clothes after dinner, but mopes ana
signs in the living room IN her en-
deavor to kill time.
To her great surprise, the bell rings
upon the minute. She hears his step
in the hall. The next moment he IS
by her side holding her hand He
leads her to their favorite tete-a-tete
seat before the glowing nre- he IS
very much astonished to hear that
she did not expect him. 1.-THE worst
weather ever could be will never keep
a man in love away from his dearie,'
he explains. He also adds: stormy
ones are the better counting even
ings."
Tom, Dick and Harry, with their
sister ana their cousin and their aunts,
are not SO liable to drop inl for a call
of an hour or two, leaving lovers
scarcely an opportunity for hand
clasp or an endearing word. Home
life seems all the cozier to man If
he comes through a storm to enjoy It.
He is reluctant to leave.
4 If ever a man has the proposing
bee in his bonnet it is on stormy,
wintry night No matter how cold it
may be, how high the snow is, or
how the sleet RACES about him, he
wouldn't lose that sweet hour with
her. More than one man has come to
the conclusion, as he trudges along
through the pitiless storm, that the
best he can do is marry without delay
and to- end the hardship Of coming and
going.
How sweet and sunshining girl
should be to the lover who has braved
so much to be with her! Many
young man sits with wet feet, but she
doesn't know that. This may be the
reason why he is a trifie irritable. but
only the eagerness to be by her side
brought him out on the wild, stormy
night. The 1ovable sweet heart should
put on a little white apron, step into
the kitchen, and make him good, hot
cup of coffee. Next to love, this is the
quickest means of putting heart and
cheer into him.
It is useless to tell a lover that he
should stay away on such stormy
night. Nine men out of ten will an
swer that they would not miss these
swete, wintry counting evenings for
the price of a kings ransom. They
are safe barometers which show a girl
just how she stands Yin q mans affec-
ton. The lover who will not miss his
winter courtoing evenings is sure to
make the best Of husbands.

Jane, '.but what is particularly nice
when you don't rip the. smelt, is to be
done with pretty good-sized fish. You
Should choose the largest sunelt you
have. After cleaning them wipe
them dry in a clean linen.
Beat three eggs, with table
spoonful of butter. Put each of the
fish in this omeIet. which. by the way
you should season with salt, pepper
and a little mustard. After taking
the fish on tot the egg, roll it in bread
crumbs or Indian meal and pass a.
wooden skewer through it's eyes
Thread three or four smelts on each
skewer, and then fry them. Serve
the fish out of the egg, roll it in bread
lemon for each person"
IF you have small smelt," contiu-
ued Aunt Jane, lone Of the incest and
most simple ways of cooking them
is to remove the heads and tails and
place them in a dish of cold water.
When ready for the meal put the
fish into a kettle of boiling, sailed
water for a few minutes. TITS usual

they are small

with nayonnaise sauce, or with one
made by mixing a little melted butter

ToDAx's POEM
DIRGE FOR THE YEAR

Orphan hours, the year is dead,
Come and sigh, come and weep!
Merry hours, come instead,
For the year is but asleep.
See, it smiles as it is sleeping,
Mocking your untimely weeping.
AS an earthquake rock a corse
In its coffin in the clay,
So white Winter, that rough nurse,
Rocks the dead-cold year today;
Solemn hours! wall aloud
For your mother in her shroud.
AS the wild air stirs and sways
The tree-swung cradle of a child,
So the breath of these rude days
Rocks the year:-be calm and mild
Trembling hours; she will arise
With new love within her eyes.
January gray is here
Like a sexton by her grave;
February bears the bier;
March with grief doth howl and
rave,
And April weeps-but. o We hours,
Follow with Mays fairest flowers

THE DECLINE OF THE
OLD POSTAL CARD.

Government statistics show that the
sale Of the plain old fashioned postal
cards has greatly fallen off during re-
cent years The picture post card
has Of course driyen it out of popu-
1aTfty.
Then. too, one questions if the old
habit of postal card correspondence
has not gone by.
Most of us can remember well
maiden aunts and others who were
noted for their ability to write long
efTusions on postal cards. Some of
them prided themselves on the NUM-
Der of words that could be legibly
written on postal card. If mem
DRY serves Alright this would often
run into the two or three hundreds.
Fine pointed pens were pushed with
concise notion that is a lost art
IN these days when public school chill
dren are taught to use sweeping and
quickly formed strokes.

Chicago.)
PILES: (Continued). AS I said
in the fore part of this article, am
convinced that there is seldom if ever
a case of Piles that was not preced-
ed by constipation and the kind of
constipation that causes Piles is as
rule, the fault of the sufferer; i'm
proper diet, not enough water and
carelessness. This last item should
be emphasized and made quite en-
phatic, If you do not respond
promptly to the calls of Nature, you
are bound to suffer for it.
The liver is seldom to blame for
the constipation that causes Piles.
The trouble is in the colon. There
is more or less feca1 irnpaction and
although there is a movement of the
bowels daily, it is from 1 to days
behind time. Pills and castor oil
will in most cases clear out the Of
Tending material, but does not cure
because the after effect is to make
the sufferer still more constipated.
To remove the offending poisonous
material that has accumulated in the
colon, the best method 1 have ever
yet found is to persistently use gem
erous doses of liquid parafine or min
eral oil that has been properly pre-
pared for internal use and to which
has been, added sufficient vegetable
to sterilize the colon. About two table
spoonfuls of this should be used every
night and each morning about half
an hour before breakfast take a level
teaspoonful of pure cream of tartar
in tunblerfu1 of cold water. Usual
1y two or three doses of the cream
of tartar, taken in this way in the
morning, with the gentle. 1ubricating
oil at night, will suffice to thorough
~ empty and cleanse the colon. After
that the oil should be continued reg
ularly, although as rule the dosage
can be reduced to a single swallow,
say about one tablespoonful.
In most cases there will be a COM
plete and easy evacuation of the bow
els every morning and as the Ncause
of Piles has been removed, they will
in nearly all cases get well without
further treatment.
In cases of great aggravation and
long standing Piles, I usually recon-
mend a, cerate for local application,
made of simple herbs such as are
described in my Home Health Club
book, Volume 8. Medicinal Plants of
America. The favorite is the Colin
sonia Compound, sometimes called the
Chestnut Cerate. 1t is soothing and
healing and relieves structure of the
sphincter Ami, which usually ex-
lists.
+ If the use of this harmless oil is
persisted in, there will follow a free
dom from headaches. and general run
down or tired feeling that is nearly
always present in cases that are pois-
oned by retained fecal matter and if
the diet is now reasonably correct
there will be no more suffering or
discomfort of Piles.

Dear Doctor: want to ask you
If you know a good remedy for en-
1argernent of the liver. misled
you the last time when I said 1 had
chronic Appendicitis. as / have since
been examined by two doctors and
they tell me. my trouble is due to
chronic constipation and enlargement
of the liver. I would like to secure
some reliable remedy for that par
ticular trouble. Please let me hear
from you soon as don't like to take
the doctors medicine, calonel, etc.
D. S.
6Answer). one of the best and
most effective remedies you can use
for enlarged liver is the Compound
Gentian and you probably know of
it. For the liver. in fact for all of
the glands of the system, the Com
pound Gentian has no superior that
/ know of.
The enlargement of the liver is Of
ten quite distinctly felt and person
always disclose it. The complexion is
generally sallow, the tongue is furred.
there is lack of appetite, there may be
headaches and dizziness and almost
invariably constipation. Something's
there are attacks of a bilious diarr-
hoea. Nervousness is common. There
may be a cough, a general Iassitude
cal exercise.
The main treatment lies in the
proper diet. The use of coffee, tea
and alcoholic liquors will always ag-
gravate this difficulty. and fatty meats
and rich, condiments are food sub
stances which must be forbidden. A
diet of fresh vegetables and fruits, es-
pecially prunes, figs and oranges is
desirable. Whole wheat bread is ex-
cellent, and I have often called at
tention to that Exercise in the open
air is of value and should be taken
regularly. Also take baths with
frequent rubbings, Keep your bow
els active, but do not employ strong
laxative or purgatives. Follow the
suggestions given in the above lee
ture on Piles and no other treatment
will be needed 1t is better to take
hot water enemas than to use strong
cathartics often. No mercurial med
icine should ever be taken, although
is perhaps more prescribed
by physicians for this difficulty than
anything else. The more that is
taken of calomel the more is need
ed and the weaker the system will
become. The Compound Gentian is
perfectly safe and will not in any pos
sib1e way harm the general system.

Think he does not care for me. Why

give in first. Is this right? I always
try to be pleasing. But receive no
