HUSBAND RESCUED DESPAIRING WIFE After Four Tears of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bollock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Can? to Rese?e. Catron, Ky.-in an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at nil. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, .nd I com menced taking it From the very first d' I could tell it was helping me. I ca., now walk two miles without its tiring me, and doing my work." If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic.

To make a cheap floor wax, use a pound of beeswax and three pints of turpentine. Cut the wax In small pieces, and put them Into a pan. Set the pan in hot water and let the wax welt. Take it off the fire and add the turpentine to the wax, mixing thor oughly. Use when cold. To make good dust rags, use paraf fin wax mixed with turpentine. Melt the wax and add enough turpentine to mix well, then dip the cloth in this mixture. Floor mops for hard wood floors can be made at a quarter the price of the boughten varley, and fully as service able. The housekeeper who likes system keeps an inventory of most of her household belongings. Things are ar ranged on selves or boxes in certain places, well labeled, and in her desk ls a house book telling the number or amount of said bag, box or drawer full of articles. In case of illness or going away any one unacquainted with the houso can find anything needed. Underclothing, shoes, overshoes, hats, wraps, furs, in fact anything that is worn or used, will come under this list, and be helpful to keep. Candle ends should never be thrown away, as this wax can be used in starch, to rub off the range and keep it black and shiny, or can be mixed with turpentine and used as a floor polish. Curtain rings and pins may be brightened when black by boiling in vinegar and water, then rinsing and rubbing with a dry cloth. A box hooked to the porch at the back, on a level with it, will hold rubbish and things can be easily slipped into it out of sight. Put a paper bag over the meat chopper when grinding crumbs, also slip one over the egg beater when whipping cream. A small hole will allow the handle to come through and you will not be sprinkled with cream spatters.

Tbo casserole may be a simple dish of brown crockery, with a cover, or a more elaborate white, fired, silver holder affair The food wHl taste as good in the ten-cent variety, but will not look quite so well as a serving dish. Digestion waits on appetite, and ap petite on the appearance and flavor of food, so that the more attractive It ls in its appearance, the more ap petizing and, in consequence, the more digestible the food will be. An attractively laid table, well-sea soned food and hot dishes hot, cold dishes cold, will further Induce diges tion of these foo? s. These may seem minor things, but are really of a good deal of Importance in home-making. A delicious meat dish to serve from a casserole is chicken with vegeta bles. Parboil the fowl, If old and tough, then brown In a frying pan with a little rutter; pour over the broth in which the fown was stewed, add a fe r eighths of potatoes (par boiled), a few pieces of carrots and three or four small onionB. Cook to gether for an hour in a moderate oven in a closely covered casserole. Serve on the table in the casserole. The nice thing about casserole cookery is that the meat and vegetables are all together in one dish, less meat may be used and all are piping hot. Another important point to be noted in casserole cookery, is that tough meat may be used and made palatable by lons, slow cookery. The meat must bo cut in serving-sized pieces, season ai o flour ?veil, then brown in a frying p.m. Make a gravy of the flour and gravy in the pan, with the addi tion of water, pour over the meat, add the vegetables, and dinner will be all ready to serve from one dish. Veal, calves' hearts, kidneys, and in fact almost any kind and combination of meat with vegetables makes a de licious cae : 'Toled dish. A sm all piece of veal with a blt of onion and green pepper for flavor, browned and added to the meat with a cup of cooked rice will piece out a small piece of meat and serve the family well and cheaply. FRENCH PASTRIES IN DEMAND First Served by Fashionable Hotels, They Have Been Taken Up by Hostesses Who Are Up to Date. The increase in the number of good patisserie shops where really delicious French pastries can be purchased probably accounts for thc serving of French pastries for dessert at the home table Just as they have been served for years in the big hotels and restaurants. There a special boy goes about with a huge silver platter filled with concoctions that make the mouth wnter and the purse strings open. When the diner or luncher chooses the 6ort he desires the boy deftly removes it with a wide bladed silver knife. Nowadays the home hostess has the maid pass French pastries at luncheon and dinner. They are passed on a big platter and naturally each guest chooses the particular sort which ap peals to him. Many of them are simply boat shaped shells of puff paste filled with fruit of some sort. Grapes, covered with rich syrup, are sometimes used for filling; and strawberries, luscious and ripe, combined with a Byrup, can also be used. Some of the pastries are made In layers of puff paste 'with an appetizing and delicate cream or 'al mond paste or fruit filling between. These interesting pastries really help to solve one of the housewife's many worries, for they constitute a dessert which ls easily procured and which ie a welcome relief from Ices and creams and the more usual sweets served.-New York Times. GET BUSY WITH CHAFING DISH Many Delicious Concoctions May Be Prepared for the Late or Sun day Night Supper. A light, but fairly cubstantial edible, served piping hot, directly from a chaf ing dish, adds immensely to the in formal Sunday night supper. Creamed salmon is delicious and is easy to pre pare in a chafing dish. Use the hot water pan first, brown a little butter and sprinkle crumbed bread into lt, tur nf -.g over until crisp. Set these crisped crumbs aside and proceed, .rith the blazer pan, to make a sim ple bechamel or cream sauce, first melting a tablespoon of butter, stir ring in a tablespoon of flour and add ing a scant cup of milk. Season this fairly-thick white sauce with salt, pep per and a few drops of lemon juice. Stir In a can of salmon and when steaming hot and ready to serve, shake over the top the browned crumbs. The creamed salmon may be served with out the bread crumbs, but they add aa appetizing flavor, suggestive of the browned crust over a hot dish pre* pared in the oven. Cream of Celery. From the Caterer we take tho fol? lowing recipe, and for family use ^sc^i. can reduce the quantities to suit. Even in using the leaves and poorer parts of une head only the recipes of the best chefs will be a good founda tion for experiment and adaptation. Remove the outside stalks from 13 heads of celery, keeping the hearts to be eaten raw. Cut up these stalks In email pieces, wash well, drain and set in a pan with a piece of butter; cover the pan and cook over a slow fire. When the celery is nearly done, moisten with one gallon of lightly thickened chicken or* veal stock, al low to cook for 15 minutes, and then rub through a fine sieve; pour the soup into a clear? pan, let boll and clean from scum. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar, and be fore serving bind with one pint of cream, six eggs and four ounces of butter. Serve small fried crusts of bread separately. Jelly Custards. One scant coffee cup sugar, one-half cup acid Jelly, one heaping tablespoon cornstarch, two cups sweet milk, yolks two eggs beaten light, butter the size of walnut. Sift cornstarch and sugar into a bowl, pour the milk over this, beating constantly to pre vent lumping, then add the well beat en egg yolks. Place Jelly and butter on stove to melt and beat them slow ly into the first ingredients. Set on stove and cook until mixture begins to thicken; stir continually to prevent scorching. Pour into a baked crust and make meringue for top of whites. Set in oven for a few minutes until golden brown. It must be perfectly cold before serving. Bolled Salmon Steak. Boil a pint of broth or water with a small bunch of celery, half a teaspoon ful of salt, quarter saltspoonful of pep per and a tablespoonful of vinegar. Cut the steaks in suitable pieces and put the fragments and bones in the bolling liquid. Place the salmon in a clean saucepan and strain the seasoned broth over it; cover and let boil briskly for ten minutes. Serve lu a deep dish with the liquor instead of Bauce. The full flavor and the richness of the fish are preserved in this dish. Marmalade of Rhubarb. Two quarts rhubarb, two pinta sugar, two oranges, Juice of one and grated rind of one; one cupful chopped rais ins. Cut the rhubarb in pieces, cover it with sugar and let it stand over night, then add other fruit and cook until thick. It can be made without raisins. Orange and Prune Salad. Steam a dozen large prunes until they are puffy; then cool and remove the pits. Cut the prunes In two and mix with an equal quantity of orange pulp. When serving, place a table spoonful of tart bolled dressing, mixed < with whipped cream, on each helping, j Sar Excursion. Wed?
