sausage, one slice of ham, half a seed
ed red pepper, one large tomato, one

one sprig of thyme, two ground cloves,
one crushed bay leaf, one tablespoon
full of butter. Cut pork and ham in
very small pieces; the sausage in

other ingredients. Carefully brown
the onion and the pork in butter.
When light brown add the ham and
the other seasoning and brown togeth-

stirring constantly. Add three quarts
Of hot water or clear soup stock. Boil
ten minutes, then add the washed rice,
after which boil half an hour or until

the average southern homekeeper
does not make such an elaborate dish
of it, the jambalaya being a method
of utilizing left-overS. 1t is a favor
tie way of finishing up ham, veal and
beef scraps in combination. Chicken
sausage, shrimp and oysters make
good jambalaya.

WILL ON TORN BIT OF PAPER
Maine Hermit, who Had Been Thought
PenniIess, Left Thousands to
Nephew.

The will of Charles Purinton, who

mitted to probate recently, according
to an Auburn, Me-, correspondent OF
the Boston Globe 1t was written on
a torn and ragged piece Of paper by
the testator.
1t was as follows:
auburn, Me-, May s, 1914. The per-
son who finds this give it to Ralph E..
Locke. l will all my estate to him, to
pay 500 to all other heirs, and set q

son, Samuel Ashwell, I. V. Mckinney"
All of the witnesses to the will are

ing the handwriting Of the witnesses.
When Mr.. Purinton died he was sup
posed to be practically pauper, but
after his death bankbooks showing de-
posits of more than $4,000 were found
In the little old house at Marston's
Corner, in which he had lived for 80
years as a hermit, with hardly the
necessities of life. Mr.. Locke, to
whom he left his estate, is nephew.

GET right COLOR
EASY MATTER TO BRIGHTEN UP
NORTH ROOM.
Home Art Specialist Suggests Use Of
Yellow as Probably the Best
Have the Curtains of Some
Transparent Material.

Have YOU Il bugbear of north room
that always eludes your attempts tc
make it livable? Now that winter IL
here, il might be just the place for the
children to use as q playroom, or the
older ones for quiet study and read
ing.
"The problem facing one who fur
nishes a north room is that of making
it light, bright and warm" comment
ed Miss Araminta Holman, instructor
in home art in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. 'Since this room
lacks sunshine, yellow is the best color
to use. Yellow will cheer and bright
en- it, and yellow which has little
red to warm it will be better than a
cold color. Orange is the warmest
color. Browns are tones of orange
and better to use than gray, black or
blue. One should use browns that
have more yellow than red.
"If the room is a 'den,' the furni
ture may be walnut or oak, but if it is
q bedroom, bird's-eye maple or cherry
MAY be used. The curtains should be
light, in tones of yellow or orange.
The material should be thin and trans
parent to admit all the light possible.
backgrounds should be yellow or
orange-warm colors. The woods used
should be in harmony with the other
furnishings of the room. Dark tones
express formality, dignity, repose and
seriousness. Light tones express gay
ETY., youth and informality"

An Attack of Grip
Always Leaves Kidneys
In Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains Of lame back and URN
ary troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root is
a great kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
and, being an herbal compound, has
gentle healing effect on the kidneys,
which is almost Immediately noticed in
most cases by those who try it. DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, offer
to send sample size bottle of Swamp
Root, on receipt of ten cents, to every
sufferer who requests it. A trial will con-
vince any one who may be in need of it.
Regular size bottles so cts. and $l.00.
For sale at all druggists. Be sure to men

ONCE A DAY OFTEN ENOUGH
Assertion Made That Women Need NOT
Put In So Much Time Wash
ing Dishes.

1.-THE careful houSekeeper will al
WAYS resent the suggestion that once
day is often enough to wash dishes"
writes DR.. Fl. Barnard in liable Talk
in the National Food Magazine. she
cannot train herself to allow soiled
plates and Silverware to stack up from
one meal to the next, for she has been
taught that such actions are evidence
of shiftless, slOvenly housekeep-
ing. AS a matter of fact. along with
many other notions which are fixed IN
the operation of the home, both time
and energy are saved by cutting out
two of tic three daily DISTINGUISHING
jobs"
Doctor Barnard goes on 10 reclte
the experience Of one housekeeper who
actually dared study the homely work
of dishvashinc. One week she
washed dishes three times a day: the
next week she washed each days
dishes altogether. She used the same
number of dishes each day in both
weeks. She found that it took her
81 minutes day to wash after each
meal and Al minutes Il day to wash
them once q day.
This took account only Of time. but
there was considerable additional
saving in gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead of thrice
day, to say nothing OF the saving in
soap.

Biz Collection of Brains.

The brain collection of the United
States National museum, which has
lately received valuable additions rep

Children.

1.-THE Fairies, the Gnomes and the
Brownies were all Invited to the Elves
party, and so was Mr.. Giant and old
Witty Witch.
"Old Witty Witch, so named because
of the funny Stories she could tell, and
because she was the dearest old Witch
in the World, sat by the Bonfire, and
holding some of the little Elves and
Brownies and Gnomes in her lap, she
began to tell them Wondrous happen
ings which, were taking place back in
the flames of the Bonfire. She told
them what the Sparks were saying,
and when the great loud Crackles
came she told them what they meant.
"After she had told Stories for
long time they asked Mr.. Giant to tell
them some. So he stretched out his
great, long Legs, and after clearing
his Throat so it resounded through. the
Woods, Mr.. Giant commenced and told
them many of the Dangerous Escapes
he had had, which they enjoyed hear

Giant was really Safe and Sound with
them.
Sometimes he would get them so
excited and frightened that he would
laugh hard and say, But then 1 got
out of that Scrape quite all right and

70 Cheaper LIVING COST
Advice About the Best Kinds Of Foods

\ bulletin published by the New

d number of changes in diet by which
money can be saved without sacrificing
nutriment.
Cereals, such as cornmeal. hOminE,
and especially oatmeal the bulletin
says, ARE rich in nouriShment, and are
much cheaper than patented cereals.
american cheese, dried beans, and
peas are comparatively cheap, and con-
tain a great deal of protein, which is
the most important food element found
in meat.
"Oleomargarinc is IL very satiSfac-
tory and economical substitute for but
ter Unfortunately. its use in public
institutions is prohibited by law.
Rice is very cheap food and can be
served in many different styles. 1t
should be used more frequently than it
is in the dietary of those of moderate
means. 1t contains Il very high per-
centage of carbohydrates, one of the
very necessary forms of nonrishment
Everyone knows how extensively it is
used among the peoples of Asia. where
it has served as the chief article of
diet from time immemorial.
1T should not be necessary to state
that bread, preferably of whole wheat
a form which is rich in very important
food elements called 'vitamines,' also
sugar and potatoes, should occupy
prominent places in the dietary of the
working man and woman
There are many other cheap food
stuffs, notable one being macaroni
and cheese. When these are used
judiciously, they serve to lessen the
cost of the dietary without in any way
impairing its food value.
