SHE IS CONVINCED
 II SAVED HER LIFE
Waterbury Woman Had Been Unable to Leave the House for Several Weeks.

One of the most remarkable statements yet published in connection with Tanlac in Connecticut was made. a few days ago, by Mrs. Frank Williams, l93 Maple St.. Waterbury.
 T firmly believe" said Mrs. Williams. that if had not taken Tanlac when l did l would not be alive today. l was absolutely worn-out and almost helpless from nervous indigestion. Why, I could not even walk around the house, let alone do any work. This indigestion often caused me auch terrible pain that could not help screaming right out. l just tried everything and even dieted myself until l wasn't eating anything. but with it all l got worse I got so thin and weak my limbs wouldn't support me and l never left the house for weeks. My husband had taken Tanlac with sch fine results for stomach trouble that l started using it, too, and I had not taken 1t week until I felt stronger and that depressed, weighed-down feeling left me. My stomach soon got in condition to where the more 1 ate the better l seemed to get. All signs of indigestion are gone now. l am no longer nervous and feel as well as if I had never been | such fine results for stomach trouble that Tanlac I would call it The Miracle Med | icine, for 1t certainly is a mystery how it restored my health when nothing els< would even so much as help me"

THE VILLAGE BEAUrFU1.

Dear Social Corner Friends: I mention just one of the many situated in New England. Nature has bestowed much on the conditions in this one in particular in the making of the scenery seem ideal. The fine roads and neat lawns speak of the interprise and thrift of the good peo- pie that live there. Across the beauti- full little green park there is a much travelled foot path, and houses flank the square on all sides. On the gentle sloping hillside there are a great nub- Der of beautiful shade trees where dur ing the spring and summer the birds sing their sweetest songs. A peaceful quietness is broken by the music and laughter of romping children on their way to and from the consolidated school. Of course there are many autos passing, but the thoughtful driver of the faithful horse stops at the village trough for re- freshing drink. This ideal village has a store, post office. library, hotel. a resi- dent physician and from the steeple of the village church is heard the beauti- full chimes from the clock as it tells of the passing hours both night and day, Where is the place? I begin to hear you ask. o, it's Windham Center.

TWO TICKLING RECIPES.

Dear Sisters of the Corner: Do you remember our late sister, Frank of Moos- up? She was one of our first writers and d faithful writer, and she was nearly blind, she wrote me. We'll, here is her recipe for green tomato pickles. I make some every year:
 Slice them and scald them in salt wa ter until nearly done, say one-half cur of salt to two quarts of water, and alum the size of walnut. Skim the toma- toes out and put in jar, take enough good vinegar to cover them. To every quart add one pound of sugar, and spice to suit taste. Scala vinegar, sugar and spices together and pour over the to- .natoes while hot. Sometimes I put a dozen onions coarsely sliced and five or six green peppers sliced.
 Pepper Hash: Remove the seeds from twelve green peppers and twelve red ones and pour boiling water over them and let stand five minutes, and drain. Put through the food chopper mixing twelve onions. Add two quarts of vim egar, dissolve three tablespoons of salt and two cups of sugar; mix thoroughly

Salt Water Rad For the Hair

Dear Corner Members: The Cheerful Cherub says Where do we live, in the present or past? Where have our thoughts always dwelt? By the time that our senses report to our minds gone is the moment we've felt" I thought how true that is and I will send it to the Social Corner
 Ella H.: You say enc told you that salt water was good for the hair.
 Salt water has a bad effect on the hair and if the hair is not protected while at the shore you certainly want to wash it thoroughly. If the scalp is flexible. the vigor of the hair will suffer. A quarter of an hour spent by beginning at the outer edge, and making towards the cen ter, the finger pressing firmly, the skin
 (not the hair) being well manipulated works wonders. Then a good tonic should be used, according to the nature of the head, oily or dry. Many heads of hair will not stand constant washing. I can't explain washing your head as well as I would like. If your hair Is very oily wash it once every fourth week with a dry shampoo, and Jlways try to have 1t seen to, at just such a time. When applying the hair wash the plan is to part the tresses from the forehead to the scalp and rub it in well, and so in strands all over the head, with
 bit of rag or cotton. Do the back first, then attend to the sides and front. Dandruff has way if you notice, of accommodating over the ears. Shaking the hair when the cleansing process is ! over will help dry it and the scalp also, Health has much to do with the state of | the hair. When 1t becomes thin, heath l is most always the cause. A tome w!;i do | if used frequently quite as well as Q hair wash-accompanied by massage. would certainly have some well inform | ed person look at my scalp, as l think SC
 much depends on the hair for good | looks.

I will find time to write letter a month for our Corner Now as many sisters have in their garden many kinds of scented leaves and flowers, I am go- ing to tell you how to make potpourri jar.
 Gather all sorts of scented leaves and petals. rose, violet, fragrant geranium. lemon verbena, mint, thyme and any others available. Be sure to gather them dry, then lay them on tray in the hot sun, and toss them about every day until dried out. Next put them into a deep jar with salt between the layers of flowers and leave for fortnight, toss ing daily. In about a month the salt may be shaken off and the following mix ture of spices added:
 A dram of oil of cassia, stirred tn- to two drams of oil of lavender, one dram of oil of cloves, and two ounces of gum benzoin add four ounces of orris root Pound and mix well together mix the powder lightly between the leaves and cover for a while. To per. fume a room leave the jar open for z | few hours. The potpourri will improve as times goes on and fresh flowers ma, 1 always be added provided they are quit, ] dry. This will keep for years. Hop, some of the sisters who have flower will make one and tell us how she like | it. Will come again soon.

Sweet Corn Cakes

Editor of the Social Corner:Tm told if I send letter or recipe to you that constitutes the qualifications, of being or becoming member of the Social Cor ner.
 I attended the Brooklyn fair last week Wednesday saw much and should have seen more but it commenced to rain soon. One thing impressed me as very small article, but the work it was made to do in the hands of a skillful operator was surprising. It is called Olcott's Corn Cutter, which leaves the tough part ot each kernel on the cob. The corn going into the dish being the right substance tc make into cakes as follows:
 To every cup of corn one egg (beaten) beaten separately, one tablespoon of mill CT water corn was boiled in, little salt Fry on gridd1e using butter. Can use cold boiled corn left from dinner, but I prefer uncooked. No four used. Tr5 them sisters.

 Aunt Sarah: Yes, I went to the fair this year. Did not see many of the sisters. We'll I remember The Bulletin ten at the fair. I think 1t was five years ago. and some of us had our pictures tagen.
 Lucinda: You remember the picture Yours was great.
 Ma of Greene Gables: What fine time you are having this summer. You want to get home soon and gather the pump kins. We will not have so many this year as last, so I won't have to make 50 many pies. We have two mammoth ones we should have taken to the fair.

PEOPLE BORN UNDER SIGN OF LIBRA

Dear Editor of the Corner: wonder if the following delineation of character would prove instructing or insp:rational to your readers who were born under the sign of Libra, between September twenty third to October twenty third Eacn sign partakes of the nature of one of
 the four natural elements. Aries, Leo
 and Sagittarius are fire signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are air; Taurus Vir- go and Capricorn are earth and Cancer
 Scorpio and Pisces are water signs. It
 is amusing to note how fire people are quenched by water people. earth causes fire to sDutter air and fire mix and earth is solid enough to stand anything
 The people born in this sign are ener- getic, ambitious. thoughtful, contempla- tive. They weigh everything and are very just. The men are self-reliant and reckless, early learn to strike out for themselves, developing great business ability, often becoming stock brokers, spectators, scheners, and sometimes gamblers. The women are not so reck-
 less and are apt to be careless about
 money. All of this sign are kind and have a horror for bloodshed or cruelty.
 Hard work does not appeal to them they are modest. neat and particular, have fair amount of ambition and are fond of building air castles Affectfonate and AtCll mai SOul4S anu SOlllt Illlleo than once. The faults of these people are materialism and impatience. They are careless about where they put their be- longings and are inclined to borrow from
 other people with no idea whether they can return the borrowed article or not. They are much too gnerous in their giv- ing and not apt to Use judgment. They seldom get angry but when they do it
 is like a cyclone, leaving nothing un- said. The diseases these people are li- able to are stomach troubles and nerv- ous prostration, caused by impatience and
 giving away to their angry passions. Learn to decide quickly and to then let go and you will grow strong and power ful to work out your ideals. Speak peace
 to your fretting thoughts Let patience have her perfect work lest you condemn
 unjustly. Love and pardon others and the balm of it heals you as well as those others. Look less at the externals of l1fe-value the unseen things that are ex-
 ternal. Love, faith and wisdom are in- visible, eternal, all powerful like electric ity. Be at peace with yourself and the
 world and God; love your work; help
 others to be at peace and love their
 work. Keep the scales even Get the earth bandage off your eyes So shall you | live long and we'll to the joy of the world | He who makes the world brighter, more joyous and better, has not lived in vain. (Signed.) CROWS FEET

and during that time the Buckingham meeting, the picnic at Wildwood, the Academy reunion and the unveiling of the soldiers monument took place, but the line of march of the latter event was by my house so I enjoyed that much of It.

SOCIAL CORNER POETRY.

IF YOUTH COULD BE BOUGHT. IT youth could be purchased with silver or gold, Then only poor people would have to grow old, But as time has proven this is not the case, No one need expect it of whatever race. Could good health be secured from those who are well, There would always be some one ready to sell, For if of portion some few shoud dis pose. Twould furnish big money for jewels and
 clothes. If strength could be bartered for dollars
 and cents, The traffic therein would be something For what would some people, to add to
 life's length. Not give, and with joy, for few pounds
 of strength. Could beauty be transferred the price il
 would bring Might bankrupt a Princess; yes, even a
 King, For beauty belongs to Its owners alone Some things that we have We to others
 may pass, And greatly assist them their like tc
 amass, But there are some things, some wortH
 more, some worth less, That we must inherit if we would poss.

THE OLD CHURCH NEAR BEACH
 POND

To the Editor and Sisters of the Corn CT: Am sending in little poem which I thought was pretty. I hope you will enjoy it as well as l.
 Sunbonnet Sue: I wrote a while back on Beach Pond, but I take my hat off to you as the men folks say You can write a lovely letter. Now you know Beach Pond and surroundings so well, can you tell me the name of the old old church that is on the road there just before you get to the corners where you turn to your right to go to the bathing beach side. There used to be a bell in the belfry, but that is gone and tall bushes and trees almost hide the old church or meeting house It's on your right when you are going there from Voluntown.
 Here's hoping that all the sisters are all enjoying this nice fall weather. E. NJ. R. C. P

A DAY AT RHODE ISLAND BEACHES

A DAY AT RHODE ISLAND BEACHES
 Dear Social Corner Sisters: As I like to see the Social Corner page filled, will do my bit toward filling it. I en- joyed the picnic at Aunty No. Is and was glad to see her settled in such a pleasant spot for her new home We enjoyed the beautiful dahlias which her neighbor up the hill so kindly gave us and they kept fresh for several days. It's a pleasure to attend the Social Corner gatherings and meet old friends, make new ones and find out who is who. I was pleased to find Triple E a friend of childhood days as we used to attend the same church and Sunday school in Goshen.
 I have been very much interested in reading of the vacation trips taken by the different sisters and can just picture to myself the good times those who have been spending a few weeks at the shore have had It has not been so we could go away for over night, but have had several trips for the day and will tell you one of the best. One lovely morn ing Lebanon Brownie and her husband took their auto, invited neighbors, and also a young man who lives near my husband and myself and we left home at 615 a. r for Matunuck Beach, R. l., a
  ioyed the ride as it was a glorious morn ing. We dressed in our bathing suits, then put on other clothes over them, so as to lose no time on our arrival When l We reached Matunuck We drove as far as we could toward the place to dig clans and then had a long mile to walk. After digging round clans for about two hours (which is lots of fun), we went back to the car and drove over to the ocean side where We did justice to the l lunch We had carried. After we finish ed our lunch and watched the waves for
 a little time our suits were dry and we started on. The next stop was at | Charlestown Beach, where we had an other walk and dug. long clans. We re- | luctently left there. but the time was | getting late. After a very short call | at the home of a friend who lives near | the beach we went on to Weekapaug | beach, where the men secured a boat and went after crabs while the women | in the party looked around the familiar | place as we spent two weeks there two | years ago. little after seven we start | ed for home where we arrived at 9.20 tired. but with a good supply of clans i which tasted so good the next day. Anc the memory of the trip will last for z l long time.
 Think have taken my share of space i this time.

HAD GOOD LUCK WITH RECIPES.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the So- cial Corner: 1 was not going to write again so soon but as I know I shall not crowd any letters off of the Corner page unless there is more sent Tn than there was last week, 1 just want to write and tell the Corner sisters Tow pleased I was to read so many djffel ent recipes for using up green tomatoes. So this week I have been trying out some of the recipes, and have had good luck with every one I have tried.
 Cady: am glad you got your pet dog back again. I know just how you were all worked up over it. Seems to me as if the law for keeping dogs chain ed could be modified little bit The poor dogs will all go mad I am sure If they have to be kept chained much longer. Those who own pet dogs dare not take them out for exercise, leading them by a leash for fear they will break away from the owner To me 1t is an unjust law, also much cruelty has been done to the poor dogs Why
 not enforce other laws that nave beer bikes on the sidewalks. I was sweeping off my sidewalk in front of my house when a boy came along riding his. bike | He came very near running against me
 There is a fine for that. Why not lei
 the poor dogs loose? If not done soor the poor dogs will go mad and also l the owners of them.
 Good luck to the editor and all the sisters.
