l (Unless otherwise specified, these recipes are planned for four persons). To Bake Pic ! While some pie bakers scoff at the 1 adea of measuring flour, lard and wa ter for the crust. the inexperienced cook finds it quite as necessary to measure her ingredients for pie as for cake.
 So, for the benefit of the new cook this rule and method for rhubarb pie is carefully worked out.
 First and foremost, pastry flour should be used. Less lard is necessary to make tlaky crust and there is consequently no danger of Hardy" taste to the pie. Half butter and half lard can be used if preferred but the amount of shortening must be doubled.
 The lard should be cold and firm but nee dnot be chilled.
 The water should be cold but need not be ice water.
 Quick work and a light touch are two necessary ingredients for a good pie.
 S
 One pound rhubarb, 1 to 1 1-2 cups sugar, l tablespoon cornstarch, Is teaspoon salt, 1 cup pastry flour, tablespoons lard, scant teaspoon salt, ? tablespoons cold water.
 Remove skin from rhubarb and cut in inch pieces. Mix sugar, corn starch and salt add rhubarb and stir with a fork until rhubarb is we'll covered,
 Mix flour and salt and rub in lard with tips of fingers. The mixture should be made like course corn meal. Add one tablespoon of water at one side of the flour mixture and work into about half of it. Add the other tablespoonful at the other side of the mixing bowl and work up the rest of the flour mixture. Work the two together. always rather tossing and lifting the dough than pounding or kneading it.
 Divide, reserying a little more for the upper crust than the under Work the dough into round flat cake with the fingers, then put on the molding board, evenly floured, and roll Turn the dough half way around after each rolling 10 keep it round,
 Roll the dough to about three eighths of an inch thickness. Fold one-half over the other and place on an eight-inch pic dish.
 Fit Smoothly with the tips of fin- gers. Be sure the dough covers the edge of the dish. Roll the remain- ing pieces of dough just as you did tho first and cut a gash in the ccn- ter. Fold over ready to put over under crust.
 Fill the lined pic dish with pre- pared rhubarb. Any sugar and juice that have settled in the bowl of rhu- barb should, Of course, be poured over tho rhubarb in the pie she'll Moistcn the edge Of the dough with

Then Sou Have Something 10 Learn.
 Thousands who have piles have not learned that quick and permanent re- lief can only be accomplished with internal medicine. Neither cutting nor any amount of treatment with ointment and sunpositoriss will re- move the cause.
 Bad circulation causes piles. There is complete stagnation Of blood in the lower bowel and a weakening of the parts. Dr. J. g. Leonhardt was first to find the remedy. His prescrip- ton, HEM-RoID, is now sold by al, druggists. Dr. Leonhardt tried it in 1000 cases with the marvellous record Of success in aS per cent and then de- cided it should be sold under rigid money-back guarantee.
