Keeps Three Children
 Healthy Giving Them Father Johns Medicine

My little girl was very sick with bronchftis sand the doctor said she could not live. I gave her Father John's Medicine and after she had taken it she was able to go out and has been well and strong ever since l give it to my three children every time they have a cold. I can't say enough in praise of Father Johns Medicine {, (Signed) Mrs. Charles Dupre, Box 331, Gi1bertville, Mass
 When you remember that Father Johns Medicine builds new flesh and strength because 1t is all pure and wholesome nourishment, you will realize why it has had more than 60 years success and is recognized as the safest spring tonic and body builder; not patent medicine but a doctors prescription.

Use of Bacon prippines.

Bacon drippings make splendid short ening for light, f1aky pie crust. It takes just littles less of the drippings than of ordinary lard or vegetable shortening. Use it for shortening in spice cake, gingerbread or any dark cake and note the delicious flavor.
 Spread rye bread with a thin layer of the pure drippings and sprinkle a little salt on it. Add to this a thin slice of any salt meat and you will have a delicious and highly nutritious sandwich. The European housewife has long made use of such sandwiches for the between meal snack for grow ing boys and girls.

The Pyamy Hippopotaxus.

Ine Fygmy niPPoPotaB1us.
 One of the animals least known to the outside world is the pygmy hippo potamus of West Africa.
 This animal is just what it's name implies, a pygmy hippopotamus. It is much smaller than the common hippo potamus, being no larger than an ordi- nary or fair sized hog. It differs some what fgom the comxnsn hippo in the character of it's teeth, and instead of spending it's time in the rivers and lakes in large herds it wanders about through the jungles singly or in pairs, much after the manner of swine in search of mast.-London Spectator.
