USE DAMPERS TO SAVE HEAT
Check Draft Controls Rate at Which
Fire Burns and Housewife Should
Know Operation.

Every stove has two dampers, or
should have, and an efficient house
wife knows how to operate them. The
check draft damper controls the rate
at which fire burns. BY open
ing it fire is checked. When 1t is
closed the draft Is increased. Learn
to use 1t so that 1t will do its work.
specialists in the department of agri-
culture suggest.
II this damper is properly construct
ed and managed n fire may be checked
without opening the coallng door. The
turn damper fits loosely so that gas
may pass off even when 1t is closed.
In most heaters, this damper should
be kept closed except when starting
the fire. Otherwise most of the heat
goes up the chimney.
The damper in the coaling door
should he used only to let in air and
to consume gases that are formed,
especially when soft coal Is used. The
ash-pipe damper admits the air nee
essary for the ignition of the coal or
wood. Regulate the air supply by
this damper-not by opening the ash
pit door.

Then let them dry and they will look

You become nervous, despondent, sick,
leverish. irritable. have spots appearing
before the eyes, bagssunder the lids, and lack
ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective means Of
overcoming this trouble, is to eat sparingly
Of meat, drink plenty Of water between
meals and take a single Anuric tablet before
each meal for q while.
(anti-uric-acid) Il you aren't feeling up to
the standard. II you have lumbago. rheu-
matism, dropsy, begin Immediately this
treatment with Anuric.
The physicians and specialists at Dr.
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y,
have thoroughly tested this prescription
and have been with one accord successful in
eradicating these troubles.
Patients having once used Anuric at the
Institution have repeatedly sent back for
more. Such q demand has been created
that Doctor Pierce decided to put Anuric in
the drug stores Of this country, in ready
to-use form.

place in shallow baking dish, pour
the strained tomatoes around 1t, put
the bacon on top. and bake 40 minutes,
basting with the tomatoes. Thicken
the gravy with the flour cooked in the
butter. A little seasoning, such as a
bit of bay leaf, Glove and small
onion, improves the tomato sauce. AS
the pepper and onion are not likely to
be cooked as soon as the meat, 1t Is
well to fry them in little fat before
adding the other ingredients. This
amount will serve six to eight peo.

Cannelon Of Beef.
This dish is prepared by making
chopped beef into a roll and baking 1t
wrapped in buttered paper meth
cd designed to keep in the steam and
so insure a moist, tender dish. The
paper must be removed before serv-
ing. The roll should be basted occa-
sionally with butter and water or drip
pings and water. In preparing the roll
an egg may be added for each pound
and half of meat, and chopped pars-
ley. onion juice, lemon peel, or finely
chopped green peppers make good sea-
soning. A thickened gravy may be
made from the drippings, the liquid
used being either water or tomato
juice.
Strips Of pork laid on the roll may
be substituted for the buttered paper
and basting.
Meat Rolls.
Small quantities of cold ham. chick
en-, or other meat may be utilized for
meat rolls. The meat should be
chopped fine, well seasoned, mixed
with enough savory fat or butter to
make 1t shape" and formed into rolls
about the size of finger. A short
dough (made, say, of pint of flour,
two tablespoonfuls of lard, one tea
spoonful of baking powder salt and
milk enough to miX) should be rolled
thin, cut into strips, and folded about
the meat rolls, care being taken to
keep the shape regular. The rolls
should be baked in quick oven until
they are of a delicate brown color and
served hot.
