HAMBLET 14-16 Commissioners TWO WOMEN AVOID OPERATIONS By Taking Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. Chicago, 111. 4 'I must thank you with all my heart for Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Com pound. I used to go to my doctor for pills1 and remedies and they did not help me. I had headaches and could not eat, and the doctor claimed I had female trouble and must have an opera tion. I read in the paper about Lydia JE. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and I have taken it and feel fine. A lady said one day, 4 Oh, I feel so tired all the time and have head ache.' I said, 'Take Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound,' and she did and feels fine now." Mrs. M. R. Karschnick, 1438 N. Paulina Street, Chicago, Illinois. The Other Case. Dayton, Ohio.-" Lydia E. Pinkham's" Vegetable Compound relieved me of pains in my side that I had for years and which doctors' medicines failed to relieve. It has certainly saved me from an operation. I will be glad to assist you by a personal letter to any woman in the same -condition." Mrs. J. W. Sherer, 126 Cass St., Dayton, Ohio. If you want special advice write to Lydia E. Pinkham Med idine Co. (confidential) Lynn, Mass. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held in strict confidence For Womeo amid Clhiildireini This Department Will Run Every Other Week 222yMiWF LL HE art of seeing things Is not something that may be Con veyed in rules and precepts; it Is a mat ter vital In the eye aifa ear, yea, in the mind and soul of which these are the organs.

These dishes are all successful ones and will he highly satisfactory If made according to directions. Lemon Milk Sherbet- The juice of three lemons, a pint of sugar and a quart of rich milk frozen, will make a smooth and delicious frozen dessert. A little of the grated rind of a lemon may be added if the flavor is liked. Rice Pudding. Put a quarter of a cup of rice with a half cup of raisins and a quarter of a cup of sugar into a quart of milk in a baking pan. Put into the oven and bake for three hours. A little cinnamon or nutmeg may be added, if liked? but this is a -pudding that is hard to spoil. Stir for the first hour of cooking, so that the rice is well mixed in the milk. Boiled Loaf Pudding. Cut the crus from a pound loaf of bread and press as many mi sins into- the loaf with the fingers it will hold without break ing. Make a custard of a pint of milk, a quarter of - a cup of gugar and two eggs, and lay the bread in this un cooked custard. When it is all ab sorbed, put the loaf into a floured pud ding cloth and drop it carefully into boiling water, for twenty minutes' cooking. Serve with a sauce made of two tablespoonfuls of butter, a cup of powered sugar, a little vanilla and a few tablespoonfuls of milk, or, bet ter, cream. Melt thle sauce over hot water, stirring constantly. Chicken Jelly. Chop a fowl, bones nd all, until fine, cover with two qu...i of water, and let simmer for six hours, then strain, skim off all the fat, when cold, and the jelly may then be seasoned and served in a number of ways. Mace or parsley, with salt and pepper, may be added while cooking, to the fowl, if so desired. KITCHEN ADVICE. How to Settle Coffee Economically and Satisfactorily. As the practical housekeeper knows or should know, the coffee bean after roasting and crushing is very light and dry. One of the sure tests made for pure coffee is to put a teaspoonful on top of a glass of water right on top for if pure most of the coffee floats un til it absorbs enough water or is stirred under. Over the bean there is also a very fine light skin, which separates in the boiling process and clouds the liq uid. These floating particles must be treated by the settling process that is, something must be done to carry all floating particles to the bottom of the pot and hold them there, leaving a clear, sparkling liquid above. Naturally the agent must be much heavier than the objects acted upon; hence clear cold water, being of greater weight than the steaming coffee, if poured in the top of the pot at the finish in the proportion of one table spoonful to each half pint will of it self act as a settler. If after this treatment and after standing where it will keep hot from three to five min utes the pot is handled gently it is pos sible to pour a clear cup from the orig inal pot without transferring it into another receptacle. Then there is the eggshell method. Wash the eggs as you use them; then when opened the shells may be crush ed and added to ground coffee a more economical method than that of using an egg for settling. Once establish the idea that it is sim ply the presence of a heavier substance carrying all floating particles to the bottom of the pot and holding them there and the mystery vanishes regard ing the question of settling the coffee. How to Make English Scallops. Here are some hints for the thrifty housekeeper who wants to reduce the cost of living. English scallops present potatoes in a palatable way. Apples are delicious cooked in the same man ner and served with pork. For each large potato put one table spoonful of flour into a small bowl, mix it into a rather thick batter with cold water, season to taste with salt and pepper. Pare and cut white pota toes as for chips, have a deep pan of hot fat. dip the potatoes in the batter, drop them into the fat and cook until brown. Remove them with a fork, drain them on brown paper in the col ander, serve in a hot uncovered dish with cold meat, steak or fish. How to Wire a Minaret Tunic Do not use fine wire to make the new tunics stand out properly, as this bends entirely out of shape very easily, but use feather boning. This will give readily, but will also spring back into ihipe again. HOW TO UTILIZE AN OLD 1 RAINCOAT. Rip it apart and wash It thor oughly and then fashion it into A large apron for household use, good for scrubbing and washing wear. A chemistry apron for the daughter in high school. Dusting cap and sleeve pro tectors. Cases for sponges, brushes and toilet articles. A cover to tie over the laundry basket A lining for the laundry basket for the housekeeper who sends soiled linen to the "wet wash." It will save uncomfortable drip from the basket and save mop ping the floor. INSOMNIA RELIEF. How to Rob Sleeplessness of Some of Its Terrors. Insomnia and sleeplessness are rob bed of many of their terrors if their victim looks at them in a sensible way. The very worst thing to do when sleep fails to come is to worry about it and finally work yourself into such a state of nervousness that night and darkness seem all surrounding and never ending. The victim of sleeplessness should make her wakeful hours as comfort able as possible. If she cannot train herself to lie still, relaxing and rest ing, she should provide herself with such comforts ns are necessary to make the midnight vigil bearable, even pleasant. Sometimes simple little devices bring the desired sleep. One remedy is this: Close the eyes and turn the eye balls as far toward the top of the head as possible. This is their normal at titude during sleep, and this attitude, persistently held, often produces sleep. One woman cured herself of real in somnia in this way. Sometimes a drink of warm water will produce sleep. There is now on the market a little metal cylinder which is attached to the electric light socket by a wira When the current is turned on the cylinder becomes hot. and if it is placed in a glass of water the water soon boils. A glass of water,' covered, and this cylinder on the bed side table would make hot water at any time in the night convenient. Reading, of course, is the solace of the sleepless. The light should be good. Brackets to hold electric bulbs securely on the rungs of a brass bed are sold. Bedside lights on tall brass or wood standards are also sold. Reading in bed is not injurious if the light is good and if the book is held in the proper position. It should be so held that the light strikes full on the page without glaring in the eyes. It is usually more comfortable to sit in a half upright position than in a reclining one. A comfortable pil low or two should be ready at hand to support the back and head. Eating often induces sleep. Bread and butter sandwiches, wafers, a little fruit anything that has been found satisfactory can be prepared before hand and placed on the bedside table for the sleepless one's feast. If hot milk does the work it can be kept in a vacuum bottle, or it can be heated by the electric cylinder. CARE OF THE BABY. How to Make the Little One Com fortable and Happy. The crawling baby should have creepers over the little dresses. These can be made of inexpensive materials that will wash, and it goes without saying that little dress articles of this sort are a great saving in the washing. There is a useful little supporter re sembling the masculine suspenders worn by the small child to keep the undergarment in place. The strap ex tends to the waist, where it is pro vided with a clasp, to which the gar ment in question is attached. The clasp is easily adjusted when the gar ment needs changing. It gives more freedom to the limbs since the garment does not need to be pinned so tightly to prevent it falling. When the baby cannot wear the flan nel band without causing irritation of the skin let-him .wear a soft linen shirt beneath the band. The linen is sooth ing to the skin. ' Nursing bottles can be cleaned much easier if washed in cold water as soon as used and the nipples dropped in a cup of cold water that has a little sale ratus added and then washed with hot water before using. Silencers made of Turkish toweling can be used under children's plates at the table. They are also useful in pro tecting the smooth surface of the serv ing table. Serious accidents having occurred to babies through their catching hold of the blades of sharp instruments, the following hint will be useful: Do not try to pull away the instrument or to force open the hand; but holding the child's empty hand, offer to its other hand anything nice or pretty, and it will immediately open it and let the dangerous instrument fall.

(The following paper by a Barton W. C. T. U. member was recently read before a meeting of that organization.) At first thought this subject seems to mean, the task that devolves upon the individual," in assisting in the great work that the organization is doing for society, but as one thinks upon the topic more deeply, it seems to mean the most important work that the Union can perform for the communities in which it exists. There is no doubt that the great est and most lasting work that falls to the W. C. T. U. is that of education, which may for the purpose of defini tion and explanation, be divided into at least four principal divisions : that of the local community spirit, of special classes of society affected by the drink traffic and its attendant vices, that of the nation as a whole, especial ly directed to political movements, and that of the youth through systematic temperance instruction. The educational work done locally by the W. C. T. U. is most important, in that it covers a much wider field than is usually understood by temperance with reference to intoxicating liquors. It means bringing the business men and the town officials to see the advan tage of a clean town, morally as well as superficially, the advantage of rigid enforcment of existing laws, and the cultivation of a Christian community spirit. It means the carrying forward to a successful completion any move ment which may result in community uplift. Oftentimes it involves standing alone in taking the initiative, in cleaning up local plague spots, which have existed so long that the community has become so accustomed to them, as to be almost acquiescent in the belief, that it is best to let well enough alone, as long as it does not become any worse. The mor al and social conditions in any commu nity depend upon what the majority of the self-respecting people believe they ought to be, or allow them to be, and for thai reajtin, ii is the duty uf the W. C. T. U. to investigate underlying conditions, and to educate the people generally, as to what these conditions are, and the means to improve them. In manufacturing and factory vil lages there are special classes of both sexes, whose education is so deficient that in their leisure hours they have nothing within themselves to create wholesome and improving means of rec reation and enjoyment but if left to diversions would naturally be attracted to cheap and harmful methods of amusement. In such villages and cities it is the especial province of the W. C. T. U. to provide means or instruction, amusement and recreation. The educational film in cities is prov ing one of the best means for sanitary, hygienic and temperance instruction, thus minimizing the effect of the cheap moving pictures. The nation as a whole has gradually become alive to the importance of po litical suppression of the traffic in in toxicating liquors. In the South and West there are found increasing dry areas under coun ty or state option. In all the nation wide campaign, the W. C. . T. U. has had a large part but just now when the battle is partly won, there must be no cessation of the National .'campaign of temperance education which should reach down to every local society. But above ail else, the success of any temperance movement of the fu ture must rest upon the education of the children of today. The W. C. T. U. in the past has made some mistakes in this part of its work but possibly no more than have been made in any other part of the educational system to the present time. Everywhere in the past few years there has been the feeling that our public schools are not doing what they onght to give the child a preparation for the actual business of everyday liv ing. Educators are endeavoring to make the school fit the child and not the child fit the school. They have come to realize that the school is not a machine through which to run differ ent individuals in such a way as to standardize and make uniform the product, thereby fitting about two per cent for college while the other ninety eight per cent are fitted in no way for efficient citizenship, through anything furnished them by the school. Temper ance instruction as secured through the efforts of the W. C. T. U. must follow the modern trend of educational thought and the sanity and reasonable ness of its teachings take stronger po sition than ever before.
