Melted Ice cream may also be used

Delicious pudding sauces may be
prepared from the juice from canned
fruit. Thicker with a little -four, add

Cold, cooked mutton may be re-
heated in the following sauce, making
a dish which many consider better
than the original: Chop small onion
and fry in a tablespoonful of butter or
sweet fat, add tablespoonful of flour
and let 1t brown. Mix a tablespoonful
Of Worcestershire sauce, table,
spoonful Of vinegar tablespoonful Of
currant jelly and pepper and salt to
taste. Cook all together and when hot
add the sliced mutton. Simmer for fif-
teen minutes to season the meat and
serve hot.
Another delicious sauce for reheated
meats is this: Chop dozen olives

-four, add a tablespoonful of butter
and when well-blended stir in a cupful
Of soup stock; stir and cook until
smooth, Season with salt, pepper, and

chopped olives and serve hot.
Pour little olive oil over the bot
tie of olives and do the same to canned
red peppers; this will save them from
spelling.
A slice or two of pineapple mixed
with little chopped apple to give
bulk, a half dozen quartered marsh
mallows, and a little boiled dressing

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview Of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
iected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not, even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle When writing be sure and
mention this paper.--Adv.

TAKE TIME TO LIVE RIGHT.

The season for good resolutions is
approaching. Thousands are resolv-
ing to begin the New Year by COM
mencing some effort at self-improve-
ment.
Most people suffer from poor health
because they say 'they haven't time
to take care Of themselves"
The business man knows he needs
exercise, but denies himself because
he hasn't time.
Most people run their lives in such
slipshod fashion that they haven't
time to eat properly, to think proper

And the result is that they die ahead

Robert Adams did not resent the
straightforward talk of his visitor. He
was just in frame Of mind where the
suggestions implanted might take root.
He nodded a thoughtful adieu to his
relative and sat down alone to cogi-
tate. The postman appeared with a
letter from Mary and small bundle.
The former expressed the delight her
long-anticipated visit had brought to
her people. The package, opened, re-
vealed Mary's Christmas gift to him
half dozen handkerchiefs and two.
neckties. All Of them bore initials
or some ornamental needlework, and
his face s0ftened as he realized how
many plodding hours his wife had de-
voted to the task to give him pleasure.
Then he smiled grimly. AS he fixed
his eyes on framed portrait of his
helpmeet his eyes grew tender. Then
they took to their depths a dreamy
tinge. Before his mental vision passed
a series Of pictures born Of the vivid
suggestions Of the day.
