Good Cheer, Order, Beauty Prevailed in Home of the
 Southern Woman Long Ago

In her social progresses she rode in a velvet-lined coach drawn by four or six horses-not one too many for the mud holes to be pulled through in those brave times, writes 0ctavia Zol-
 icoffer Bond in Southern Woman. Her
 negro coachman, in cloth coat and
 brass buttons, who could be trusted to drive her a hundred miles in safe ty. skillfully handled the lines, while
 liveried footmen swung jauntily to the carriage straps behind, ready to spring to the ground, open the door and let down the folding steps at the will of the mistress. As to her whole some life at home, Thomas Nelson Page has covered the case in assert ing that "the system of living in the South made the domestic virtues as common as light and air" House wifely thrift and executive ability of high order made the home of the Southern woman who was true to the type an Etien for all who partook of her hospitality. Good cheer, order and beauty prevailed from the entrance hall, impressive with it's array of an- cestral portraits, to the clean and am pie kitchen and servants quarters. The well-flled smekehouse, the poul- try yard astir with fowls, the pantry supply of jelly. pickle, cordial, "bounce" and preserves, the cellar stocked with the choicest vintages of the old world, and the garden growing with every herb, vegetable and flower known to the new, were results of the industry of the lady bountiful of ye olden time. And, withal, the swept and garnished' guest rooms, as rarely unoccupied as vacuums occur in na- ture, were dainty with lavender scent ed linens, waxed floors and polished

Good Eating for the Family.

Celery root is not well enough ap- preciated. It may be put into the eel lar with the other root vegetables and, if covered with dampened sand, will keep all winter. To prepare it the simplest method is to cook it until tender, remove all of the outside Jumps and unsightly spots, cut in dice and serve in a white sauce. To make an- other more elaborate but very pretty dish, cook the roots, cool and trim them, scoop out the inside and fill with chopped celery and cooked beets mixed with mayonnaise. Serve one root to each person. The inside portion may be served finely chopped with French dressing on lettuce day or two later.

COULD NOT WAIT
FOR DINNER HOUR
Says Mrs. Roberts: First Dose
of Andes Did Me So
Much Good"
Used the Second Dose In Two
Hours-Could Not Wait
For the Usual Time

The number of strong endorsements
given by people who are using Andes
is the best evidence that can be shown
that it has the right name, 1.-The Master
Medicine" as 1t is mastering more
chronic cases in Tampa and vicinity
than the public ever heard OF before
These statements come from grateful
users Of Andes and are unsolicited.
None, however, could be more grateful
than Mrs A. f. Roberts, of sos Ash
ley St, this city,
She called Cotter's store over the
telephone and said: Send me a bottle
of Andes, just as quick as you can. l

mended the medicine to, and am anX-
ious that she start the use of ii at once
When asked, If she had used frdes
Mrs. Roberts said: Yes, have, and II
has acted on me like a charm. / hav
never used anything that seemed to G,

stomach, and / actually had no appe-
tite, nothing that they could bring

had the grip. and others thought 1t was
malaria. Well, whatever 1T was, | did
not improve with all the medicine that
| had used. Finally some one called and
asked why we did not try Andes. as 1t
was doing so much good here in the
city. We sent to Cotter's store and pur-
chased one bottle, and | had them to
give me a dose at once. | have never
heard of a medicine acting just like
this Andes, that dose made me feel
good, in fact, so good | could not wait
until the usual time to take another
dose, but had them to give 1t to me IN

dose | was up and around the house
and the second day all my aches had
disappeared and l i'd as large day's
work as ! had done in months,
