New Use for a Cook Book.

There is a story of a man. desper-
ately i'll, who, having passed the
crisis of his ailment, needed only, so
the doctors asserted, an incentive TO
recover. He had had dire misfortunes
and had lost all interest in living.
Neither his business, nor his motor
car, nor his children, nor his wife suf-
feed to lure him back TO the trials
of temporal existence. Then some in
spired relative thought of the cook
book. She put it into the hands OF
the sick man as he lay withering on
his pillow. He turned it over Ian
guidly; then he tiuttered the pages
with transparent fingers; presently he
asked to be propped up in bed. Be
fore long he was whispering fervidly
of what he was going to have to eat
when he got well-those pig hooks
with dumplings; hot wafiles and sirup;
schnittbohnen with sour sauce. What
were rissoles, and ramekins, and ban
nocks? And why had he never known
about toad-in-the-hole? These were the
sentiments that wooed him back to
life.-Atlantic Monthly.

Saints and Sinners.

The story regarding DR.. Alexander
Whyte and DR.. Hugh Black, who, dur.
ing their joint Edinburgh ministry,
were said respectively to have black
balled the saints and whitewashed the
sinners, is now claimed to have origi-
mated in London. and to be the prop
srty, not of the Scottish Presbyterians
but Of the Wesleyan Methodists. When
Hugh Price Hughes was founding his
famous West London mission he wrote
to the Rev. Mark Guy Pearse, inviting
his personal cooperation. Mr. Pearse
replied that, for one thing, he wanted
10 go and live in Cornwall; for another
he wished to be free to preach in diff.
terent parts of England; and, finally
and conclusively, where Hugh Price
Hughes was there was little room 70
anyone else. Not at all" was Hughes
response; "there1l be plenty of room,
You shall edify the saints, and I'll pur,
sue the sinners "-Westminster Ga

MAKES DEMAND FOR CURVES
Redinaote, Just Now Popular Outer
Garment, Must Fit Closely at
Bust and Waist.

The return OF the distinctively
marked waist was inevitable when
once redingotes had been accepted by
the average woman.
The redingote, like the Louis XIV
coat, is close fitting at bust and waist
1t is so shaped that it molds the fig.
ure, and it does not look smart or at
tractive unless strongly marked curves
are in evidence.
A redingote demands rounded bust
and moderately rounded hips; the
same may be said of Louis XIV coats
And these are the two most popular
outer garments Of the present season
A beautiful little Louis XIV Goa
which illustrates what has just beer
said was seen a short while ago. II
was of stone gray material, and the
lining was rich chintz silk which
showed deep orange and black flowers
on an ivory ground.
The big buttons were in mother o.
pearl. They were "knobby," like al
the mother of pearl buttons of the
present hour. The basque of the Goa
was very full at the hem, but at tn,
waist the little garment was quit,
tight.
Immense patch pockets appeared ol
either side, and there were deep re
yers adorned with pearl buttons. Thi

and the gauntlet gloves we're in ston,

Chain, a Rock Island employe, was

down of the day he died, he was bur
led in coffin made by his own hands,

Grove. Some years ago, while he was
at war with the coffin trust, he built
a number of coffins for the county and
one of these held his remains. A mon

Use Coal Tar pisinfectants.

Disinfectants from coal tar products
are effective, cheap, not dangerous
and are much rather to be preferred
for many purposes than mercuric chlor
ide, known as corrosive sublimate, de-
clares the department of bacteriology
at Iowa State college.
The corrosive sublimate has been
used for good many years in places
where it has almost no effect. Being
a metallic substance, it combines with
organic matter, thus escaping the bac'
terra. This means that it's use is i'll
effective in the sick room where it is
employed to dsinfect discharges from
the sick person. 1t is good for the
hands and woodwork, however.
Coal tar products such as lysol
chlOro naptholeum, creoIin' and sulfo'
naphthOl ought to be used more and
more. They are so cheap that a bottle
purchased ut the corner drug store for
twenty-five cents will be sufficient to
make ten gallons of disinfectant. In
addition, they may be purchased with
a guaranteed disinfecting power.
Likewise, many of the throat washes
sold are not only useless. but entirely
too expensive. They contain from 10
