Prune Conserve.

dLl TdtHef dIfa,Q l VIII not De aDie to help the Corner much. but am going to ask if any one can tell me how to make apple butter from canned apples. l have quite a number of magazines, if any one would care to pay the postage oa them I don't think I have seen recipe for prune conserve in the Corner SC I send it to you: Soak a quart of plunes twenty-four hours, seed, and mix with one pound of seeded raisins, two cups of water, and one quart of sugar Cook half an hour, remove from the stove, add one pound of chopped nut meats, pour into cans, and seal. GE. F."
 Apple butter can be made with the ca med apples as we'll as with the fresh, f, uit. Begin by putting cider over the fire, boiling it down to two-thirds the original quantity Turn into it then as many of the canned apples as the cider will cover, and simmer, stirring often It will not be long before the apples are terder, and they may then be strained out and another supply put in their place When successive sinstallments of apples have been cooked so that all the cider is absorbed it may be taken from the fire and all put together in a stone crock and set aside for twelve hours. It is then re- turned to the fire and boiled again until one soft, brown mass, taken out, and packed in stone jars. As a matter of course the canned apples will not de- ma nd anything like as long boiling as is required by the fresh apples that have been peeled and sliced. We are glad to have the recipe for pruns conserve: it sounds as if it woulr De good. If any one wishes to get the magazines offered by this Cornerite her name will be sent on application accompanied by stamped, addressed envelope.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of dcsf-
ness are caused bv catarrh. which
is an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Circulars free. All Druggists.

the states court of highest resort in

signified whether he will accept the
office but whatever his decision NAV
