WOMEN: watch your BOWELS What should women dc to keep their bowels moving freely? A doctor should know the answer. That is why pure Syrup Pepsin is so good for women. It just suits their delicate organism. It is the prescription of an old family doctor who has treated thousands of women patients, and wht made a special study of bowel troubles. It is fine for children, too. They love its taste. Let them have it every time their tongues are coated or their skin is sallow. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless ingredients. When you’ve a sick headache, can’t eat, are bilious or sluggish; and at the times when you are most apt to be constipated, take a little of this famous prescription (all drug stores keep it ready in big bottles), and you’ll know why Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is the favorite laxative of over a million women!

Coker Talks Of Carolinas Farming HARTSVILLE, Oct. 19.—“The av erage man is unappreciative of the enormous diversity of farming ac tivity that is practicable in this section of the South,” said David R. Coker, noted foster father of improved agriculture, in an inter view here at the center of his own diverse operations the other day. “As many or more useful agricul tural products can be grown eco nomically in the Carolinas than probably anywhere else in the world.” “Because of this condition the future of farming in this part of the country should not be other than on the whole good,” declared Mr. Coker, who, however, does not ignore discouraging factors in the present situation. Despite the bad factors, “the farmer who owns his land and is out c£ debt is basically the best off person in the country now,’ said he. “Even the non-land owning farmer with work stock and supplies that he can hold on to is in a relatively secure position, and this is the best time in a genera tion for him to become or start be coming a land owner.” Here is his recipe of success in future for the average farmer in the Carolinas: “Produce all possible of the food and feedstuffs needed in the home and on the place; grow a major money crop, the best one for his situation and by the best method; and then have, as a sideline, a specialty in which he is or becomes expert.” He doesn’t believe this part of the South can get away from cotton growing now, but he does believe that cotton culture can be saved, for at least a long time to come, in the Carolinas by increasing per acre yields of superior staple. The equitable climate and diverse soils of the region provide many opportunities for specialized farm ing as both side lines and major endeavor in the Carolinas, he maintains. For example, he points to poultry raising as something for which the region is peculiarly fitt ed. having for it a better climate and cheaper feed than the big poultry raising areas of the West, as well as being nearer the big markets. Many other special kinds of farming might be greatly expanded in the Carolinas, says he. “We are learning the value of intelligence, especially scientific knowledge, when applied to agri culture,” says the man who prob ably more than any other in the South has linked science with practice, particularly as to cotton growing. “And we are beginning to know our resources, with the re sult that we are finding that bet ter and cheaper production of al most any crop can be achieved in the Carolinas than in scarcely any other part of the world.” “There is no overlooking of the fact that under conditions now prevailing it is not easy to make money farming anywhere. But, as a mode of life rather than a wealth-garnering endeavor, in telligent farming still is relatively successful, as it always has been and always will be. You will note that in times of economic stress people flock to the country more than to the cities. For, barring- natural disasters, the farmer al ways can produce something to eat, maintain an abode and, as a rule, get fuel for the gathering. In those primary essentials, the aver age farmer in this area of mild climate and good seasons is par ticularly well situated. Let him apply sound intelligence to his op erations and as the years go by he will become more and more se cure.” MS FOR THE NANCY HART To prepare horseradish, grate up good sound roots and pack at once into "bottles. Cover with a small quantity of spirit or distill ed vinegar and seal tightly. Make in small quantities, only enough ,to use up promptly. -*Xt- The soles of street shoes can be made more water and wear resist ant by brushing them with wann neat’s-foot oil, castor oil,' or lano lin.

Wipe the meat with damp cloth, put on to boil with three cups boiling water, add one teaspoon salt, boil two and one-half hours, or until tender. Cover platter with boiled rice, lay on the meat, which has been cut into thin slices in the centre, and thb steamed onions are placed around the edge. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Sardines Sardines and cheese are easily- prepared in this way ; Drain the sardines and roll each of them in finely grated Parmesan cheese. Place each on a thin piece of but tered toast, cut a little larger than the sardine. Warm in the oven_ and serve. t Bran Muffins Sift together one cup of whole; wheat flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-half teaspoon ful of soda and one-cup and one- half of sour milk, and one-fourth cup of molasses; add one well-beat en egg and . then stir into , the dry ineredients; add two table spoon fuls of butter and- one-half cup of seedless raisins. Beat thoroughly and bake in hot, well-buttered muffin pans about twenty-five minutes. ; Ginger Sherbet Three-quarters cup preserved ginger, two egg whites, one-quarter cup sugar, four cups water, three tablespoons lemon juice. Boil the water and sugar for about ten minutes until a syrup is formed. When cool,- add the ging er and lemon juice and freeze partly. Add the beaten egg whites and complete the freezing. Tips on Omelets There are two fundamental ways of making omelets. One is to beat the eggs, whites and yolks together, and then cook. The other is to beat the whites and yolks separ ately, and add the creamy yolks to the very stiff whites. Then cook. The first sort is the real French method, and makes a rather heavy, damp omelet. The other method makes a drier, lighter omelet. Both methods are good. It is a matter only of taste as to which you pre fer. There are special omelet pans, shaped like a semi-circle, into which the egg mixture is poured. The pan, which is double, is then closed, and cooked first on one side, • then on the other. It is possible with a little practice to cook just as good an omelet in a skillet. The pan in which an omelet is cooked should not be greased very heavily, for the omelet should not; seem to be fried. It should not, that is, be crisp at the edges. It should be cooked at a low ffeat, and the edges should be raised from time to time with a paillette knife or egg turner, so that the under part of the omelet won’t get too hot and so that the uncooked part of the egg will run down on the pan and cook. txt ( Drought has so decreased the number of wild ducks that sports men should shoot few this season, giving the flocks time to multiply and recover from small hatches the last few years. txt Corn meal may be substituted for a part or all of the wheat flour in many receipes for quick breads, muffins, griddlecakes, and cookies, using a scant cup of meal for a lever cup of flour, baking more slowly and longer, and dropping
