Martin, Tenn,-Mrs. Gennie Scott, of this city, says: "For years, I was troubled, more or less, with womanly troubles. Sometimes I would have shortness of breath, and smothering spells. I tried several doctors, but they only gave me temporary relief. ( At last I tried Cardul, the woman's tonic, and found it to be the medicine suiting my case. I was quickly re lieved by it, and now, for the first time in years, I am very well, and enjoy good health. I praise Cardui for these good re- a sults. I recommend the medicine to b my friends, because I know it is s good, safe and reliable. It helped me wonderfully, and I can truthfully s say that Cardul is the best medicine I o have ever taken." v Bo sure that Cardul. the woman's a tonic, will bring you. help, if you will I use it regularly, and for a reasonable a length of time.

Pan-cooking wastes a fifth, a fourth, sometimes even a third of a fish. Vegetables also taste better, and are better, for bag cooking. Bag cooking preserves in them their es sential salts, which boiling takes away. Here is a way of using up cold din ner meat that hearty children will relish, and even the man of the house not disdain. Cut the meat in slices, neither too thick nor too thin, and as broad as possible, butter them, sprin kle them well with salted flour, and a very little pepper. Lay in a well greased bag, side by side, then place upon each a tomato, peeled, hollowed out, dusted inside with sugar, salt and pepper, then stuffed. Boiled rice is a good stuffing, so is cooked maca roni or spaghetti cut small. Bread crumbs fried brown are likewise tasty. Season the stuffing well and mix through it all the snippets and trimmings of the meat. Use either butter, bacon, or cold boiled pork, well minced, to enrich the stuffing. Scatter between the tomatoes the scoopings from thel: insides. Place in bag, seal it, and cook in a hot oven about twelve minutes. 'quick Potatoes.-Take a large white potatoe for each person to be fed. Peel, slice thin, drop in cold water I for five minutes, then drain, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and pack com pactly in a well-greased bag, adding a tablespoonful of stock or milk ana water, for each two potatoes. Seal, and cook twenty minutes. Boiled po tatoes can be used, and take only half as long. Baked Apples.-Wash well, but do not peel, cut out specks and bruises, core, fill the bottom of the core-space with a lump of butter, over which pile sugar, and add a bit of cinnamon. A clove stuck in the side may take the olace of the cinnamon. Seal in side a well greased bag, and bake eighteen to twenty minutes in a fairly hot oven. Serve with sugar and cream or a hard sauce. 4 ELIMINATES MANY KITCHEN TROUBLES. William Shakespeare, it may be, had not cooking in mind, when he set his witches chanting: "Double double toil and troublii! Fire burn and caldron bubble." Nevertheless, the fact remains that the burning fire, the bubbling caldron are sources of double troubble to womenkind. Therefore, they should rise up and call blessed M. Soyer's system of paper bag cooking, i,hich has come newly to their help ' saves the bubblings of the caildron, and thereby the troublings of the cook. This in many, many ways. Perhaps the most instantly apparent one is-the fact that there is no caldron to be washed or scourled when the flesh is weariest. So, also, are the roasting pans and those for frying, likewise the broiler. Paper bags can do the worl. better and be thrown away when they have served their turn. Beef or Veal Loaf.-To each pound of raw minced lean meat, add an ounce of finely minced suet, half a small minced onion, a dust of pepper, a pinch of salt mixed through a scant spoonful of flour, and a light sprinkle of powdered herbs. Mix the seasoning . well through the meat, shape it into Ia flat, round cake, rub butter plenti Sfully on the outside, put into a I greased paper bag, seal and bake in I a hot oven, allowing fifteen minutes to the pound. A few slices of tomato put in the bag helps to make tasty gravy. A spoonful of tomato catsup ) may be used instead. Paper Bag Cooked Bridge Luncheon By Nicholas Soyer. Chef of Brooks' Club, London.

Seal up tight and cook thirty five to forty minutes in a very hot oven. Mushrooms.-Peal and wash the mushrooms, brush them lightly over with melted butter, dust with salt and pepper, and put into a buttered bag with a lump of butter, a little water, and a spoonful of lemon Juice or port or sherry wine.

Ai Hi th ADVISER OF LEGISLATURES of Fi H Amusing Story of How A. Allen Parker tli and Allen Parker Obtained Their re Lieutenants' Commissions in ai the Regular Army. H tli By GEORGE CLINTON. re Washington.-Dr. Theodore S. Pal mer of the government's biological survey is the guardian of all the gameA of the United States. He knows T every quail covert in the country, he tl can number the herds of elk in the ti western mountains, and he knows e every runway of the deer of the Adi- h rondacks. This physician-naturalist provides p for the protection of the game in Uncle Sam's preserves, and sees to it that no poacher shall escape punish ment. The doctrine of states' rights iI bars government action in the matter of law-making for any section of the to country save territories, the national tl parks and the forest reserves, but this t fact does not prevent Dr. Palmer e from being the adviser-inlchief of near- a ly every body of legislators in the a land when the game laws stand in b need of revision. There is much game left in the United States, notwithstanding re- s peating firearms and the ease of ac cess to the wilds made possible by the rapid railroad extension of recent a b years. The Audubon societies, by t arousing public sentiment. have done S more than all the laws on the statute books for the preservation of the song f birds, but the law alone, with strong men to enforce it, is responsible for d the continued presence of the deer in the forest and the antelope on the h plain. t Tale of the Two Parkers. In the United States army there are b two officers, one named A. Allen Par ker and the other named Allen Parker. These two men are not Dromios in ap- t pearance, though their names escape 11 that fate by the bare breadth of one d initial letter-and thereby hangs a a war department story. F When the Spanish war broke out A. a Allen Parker was a senior at Perdue 11 university, in Indiana. He volunteer- s ed for service against the Spaniards, a went to the front as a corporal of Company A, One Hundred and Fifty- t eighth Indiana infantry, and served t Out his enlistment with credit. a After the war was over, A. Allen d Parker felt a desire to enter the rig- t ular army as a commissioned officer. b Uncle Sam's forces were being In- b creased and the government had va- t cancies for young men who had t served against the Spaniards, who a could get the proper recommendations, t and who could pass the required phis- v teical and mental examination. There p were more young men who desired the positions than there were vacancies, t and so, feeling qualified both by mill- I tary education and by his record to t become a second lieutenant, Corporal I A. Allen Parker asked the member of e congress from his district to recom- 3 mend him for a commission in the c regulars. t The obliging congressman went to t the war department and stated his client's case. The war department looked up the Spanish war records and found %that Corporal A. Allen 1 Parker of Indiana had a most credit- 1 able record and the congressman was told that before long A. Allen Parker of Indiana .would receive notification to present himself before a board of officers at Fort Sheridan for examina tion for his commission. Wrong Man Was Notified. Back in Indiana Corporal A. Allen Parker waited for six weeks and heard nothing. Then he went to his congressman, who was home on a visit, and told him that he feared that the war department had been forget ful. The congressman went back to Washington that night, and, going straight to the department, asked why his constituent, A. Allen Parker, had not received orders to take his exami nation. The military secretary told the congressman that Parker had not only C been ordered before an examining board, but that he had passed his ex ' amination and was now a full-fledged t second lieutenant of infantry stationed at the Presidio in San Francisco. F The congressman was as dumb. t founded as a congressman ever allows himself to be. He said that if Parker r of Indiana was in the army he was h, leading a dual existence. Then they went to the records and r there they found that Allen Parker, a d corporal of the One Hundred and Six L tieth indiana infantry, had written the war department and expressed a de sire for a commission. The offictals had thought that this Allen Parker was A. Allen Parker, the congressman's friend, and instanter d they had ordered him to Fort Shert 0 dan for examination. He passed, was commissioned by the president and Sconfirmed by the senate and reached his California post w'ithin a month, y and all this as a result of a short let , ter saying that he would like the job 't of a second lieutenant. · The Indiana congressman succeeded in getting a commission for Corporal r A. Allen Parker, but It took three months, and Allen Parker, the lucky, ranked his Indiana namesake 100 fles on the lineal list, B Bryce Leads the Diplomats. The president and Mrs. Taft have just held their frst oiclial reception ae the year. The New Year's day ra ception is not considered as one hav T ing to do with officialdom, although Il curiously enough there are more offi cials of government present at it than at any one of the four other receptions to which the term "official" is applied. WE For the first time since he came to T America the Right Honorable James Bryce, the British ambassador, led the line at the reception of the diplo- . mats. Mr. Itryce is ranked in length a ( of service by Mr. J. J. Jusserand. the of French ambassador, and by Ilaron pre Hengelmuller von Hengervar, who is the the dean of the diplomatic corps.

A good deal is found sua to be in some names when one reads to the list of the diplomatic represents- we tivs of Austria-Hungary to the Unit- Yve: ed States. The ambassador's name, Iris as will be seen by a glance at it liv4 above, has a good deal to it, but it a becomes a small affair when com- ha pared with the names of some of the go subordinates in his office. For in- ab stance, there is Capt. Baron F. Preus- le3 chen von und zu Liebenstein, naval tal attache. The wife of the captain ve baron carries the same name.

The presi- of dential campaign is on. The political pl I activities of the American people are tri practically ceaseless. National, state te and local elections follow one another tr in unbroken round It is held that in lit short terms of office lies the greater GI safety for free institutions. 01 SIt has been asserted and argued to the limit of patience and endurance I that the campaigning times, with their attendant excitement, ctvnming as they I do with barely a space between, tend Sto the breaking of the health of the business life. Prosperity, however, has "been so generally a part of the coun try's history that little heed is given I to the complaining cry. The fear of Sa possible instability of institutions , that might follow a change has out. Sweighed the fear of a possible but tem S porary commercial instability. D In Massachusetts, where, because of I. the supposed effect of a traditional I- habit of thought, the people might o be expected to look with favor on a i long tenure of public olice, the gov 4 ernor of the state is elected for one * year, and, until recently, the mayor S of Boston also held offire only for a twelvemonth. Massachusetts and Bos 0 ton are not weaklings commercially. Naming Presidents a flreat Game. The recurring talk of a term of six m years for the president rnd the talk of life terms for senators, is probably but talk for talk's sake. Anything T that has politics for a baile is of inter n est to the ilv Americafi, and in the ,I pursuit of mild excitenent propost tions are advanced for which the ad- tr vancer couldn't get a vote-not even di his own. Rn American politics dea:s largely io ne d futures. The naming of presidents to bi done so many thousands of times be. fore the convention dayS that figures el cannot keep the count The ques· c tion of the multitude that witnesses the oath taking of a president on the p platform east of the capital is: "Who 1) will take the oath four years from to day?" There are some thousands of individual members of the multitude who will be quick to give answer, and each can back the given name with r reasons that he believes all convinc ing. It is a great game and it makes n for safety. There never has been a time since d Washington was inaugmlrated in the city of New York when the concerns of legislation, no matter how vital to the country, have been strong enough to keep politics and the matter of the b r presidential succession out of the peo pIe's minds. The American thrives on Id politics-proof enough, perhaps, that it is a healthy food. A president is to be named next summler by one or the other of two C conventions. The campaign has been in progress ever since the election re turns were in on the november night a more than three yearn ago that saw the ee e the election of William Howard Taft The presldential campaign is always as on-just a little m~re so in the present c instance because of the personality of c d the executive, because of his state b, ment of 'never again" which some of st- the people won't believe, and because B of the issues which in a sense have divided the Republican party into two 1 ed factions-though unfortunately enough, t at classes might be the better word.

I THE HOME LIFE OF THE SETTLER WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL THE COMFORTS AND MANY OF THE LUXURIES. A young lady of Wisconsin recured a certificate at the Miilwaukce otlice of the Canadian Government, and on presenting this to thd ticket agent of the railway at the Canadian boundary line she secured a ticket at a reduced rate which carried her to Edmonton, Alberta, from which point, about for ty miles, she had friends. This was a couple of years ago, and the young lady is now married to one of the promising young farmers of the dis trict. In writing of her trip to the Mil waukee representatives of the Cana dian Government she says: "I enjoyed my trip up here very much, and ex pect to go out to our homestead in the Pemnbina district next spring." To the housewife the information that she has "put up twelve quarts of rasp berries" is important, as they "picked them themselves," and they might have picked ten times the quantity it they had required them, for there is no country where wild fruit grows in such abundance. The letter goes on to say, and this is interesting from a woman's standpoint, "the country is very beautiful." Speaking of, the friends with whom she went up to live, she says: "They certainly have a beautiful farm and house"-they had been there about four years, also going from Wisconsin-"they have about twenty acres of oats and bar ley, five acres alfalfa, three acres po tatoes ald I don't know how many of vegetables. I think they have about forty acres under cultivation altogeth er. They are now draining a slough which they will afterwards plow and put into fall wheat.. They also have a large herd of cattle, and Mrs. V. has about 100 chickens. They make on an average of 30 pounds of butter every woek. I never saw such grand cream." Now these people are enjoying life in Albenr; they have a splendid cli mate, excellent prospects, and are happy that they are part and parcel in the wirking out of the upbuilding of a new country, that will take its place amongst the progressive coun tries of the century. Numbers of let ters that express satisfaction as ex treme as the one quoted appear in literature sent out by the Canadian Government and which may be had on application to any of its agents.

THE PEEVISH CHILD NEEDS TREATMENT Whed a child sulks drowsily, or is fretful, it Is usually due to some slight disorder of the digestive organs, and a mild laxative is very often all that is necessary to restore cheerfulness and buoyancy of spirits. In cases where the use of a gentle, effective laxative stimulant is indi cated, many of the best physicians are now prescribing Dr. Caildwell's Syrup Pepsin. This preparation is admitted ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet positive in its action on the bowels, and far preferable to violent cathart ics and purgative waters. It is very pleasant to the taste and is an ideal remedy to regulate and strengthen the stomach, ,liver and bowels. Its easy, natural action makes it especially de sirable in the case of children, a dose at bed-time being sure to have, the de sired result next morning, with no at tendant unpleasantness or discomfort. h Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold * by druggists everywhere in 50c and $1.00 bottles. If you have never tried this splendid remedy, write to Dr. W. i B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Mon ticello, Ill., for a sample.
