THE SMILING LADY.

(lining-room.
All ranxe«. r gainst the

A row of pretty china

V|*niall.
And there Ih one among
the lot.
With glided decoration.
That represent* a maiden
from
An Oriental nation.
f Her cheekit are rosy, and
h. i II pa
Are, 1 confess. beguiling
liut somehow, she annoy*
ITor steady, constant smiling.
And I prefer 'most any one
Of all the plates adjacent,
Het ause this Oriental dame
Is always so complacent.
In china, as in real life.
The girl is not worth while.
Who wears, with Irritating grace,
An everlasting smile!
"Herbs and Simples."
There are some of us sentimentally
Inclined cooks, who never use an
herb, never put a bay leaf or bit ol
summer savory into the pot without
some quaint or poetic thought. A lint
from somewhere pops into the head-
perhaps we sing with Oberon:
I know a hank whereon tin wild thyme
blows.
Maybe we never get beyond that
one line, but the refrain comes to us
as we bend, witch like, over the stew
Or, we chant with poor Ophelia j
something about the "herb-o-giace-o
Sundays," wondering what herb she !
meant. It was probably the Hue—a j
plant having a strong, heavy odor and'
bitter taste. It was called "herb-o
grace" doubtless, because of an old j
priestly habit in the sixteenth cen
tury, of trying the devil by holy wa
ter with which was mixed sulphur
and rue.
It is a common error to confound
the terms "herb" and "simple." For,
on the principle that "a pig may be a
hog," etc., a simple is always an herb,
but an herb need not possess medlcin
al properties which are necessary ir
a simple.
And, after all, is it not a good plan
to combine a little poetry with the
humdrum duties of every day? From
the days when they "sang a song ol
sixpence," when the four-and-twenty
blackbirds were baked, to the pres
ent, so has sentiment been the leav-
en to lighten our daily round.
ODE ON A NEW COOK BOOK.
O, l.ITTLK hook!
Practical work to do;
For where the good man'f
salary is light.
Where cooking should be
plain, bills should bt
light;
Advise not fancy frills
guide us aright,
We humbly beg of you
mi:

Go, little book!
hast thou
For If perchance, a cheap ,
and simple cake,
When eggs are dear and
butter high, we'd
make.
Advise us not u dozer
eggs to take.
And butter half a pound.
Co. little book!
And if books have a heart.
To rooks experienced thy lore reveal;
Nor from the young unleurned must thou
concea i
Aught which concerns the health and
daily weal.
Go, book, act well thy part!
"Gniocchi."
A new pathos now attaches new In-
terest to everything Sicilian, and so it
is with this dish, Gniocchi. The name
sounds elaborate, but the dish itself is
very simple—only the Italian name
for dumplings. In this recipe they
are made of corn meal, prepared with
very little trouble, but so well dressed
as to be elegant on occasion. Here
are two methods of serving:
Have ready a pint of boiling, salted
water, to which add a lump of butter.
Hy degrees sift into this a handful of
grated cheese, and cornmeal, alter-
nately. until the mixture is thick, stir-
ring it until it is thoroughly cooked.
Let it cool, lift out by spoonfuls and
place in a baking dish, well-buttered.
Sprinkle with grated cheese, and put
a drop or two of onion juice on each
piece. Hake until brown.
"Gniocchi alia Romana" is made
in the same way, only substituting
fine semolina, a form of macaroni in
place of the cornmeal.
Cuisine Queries.
What is "Creme Panache?" Ice
cream of two or more colors. The
word "Panache" is also used to de-
note any dish that is variegated in
color.
Is the old-fashioned Virginia corn-
pone baked or fried?
To make it, stir a teaspoon of salt
and a tablespoon of lard into a quart
of corn meal (white), and add cold
water sufficient to make a soft dough.
Shape into small rolls and bake,
quickly.
What is Missouri fried ham? Take
thick slices of cold boiled ham and
fry until the edges are crisp. He
move from pan. and to the fat add a
few teaspoons vinegar, a dash of mus
tard, a bit of'white sugar and a little
pepper. Hoil up once, and pour over
the sliced ham.
What is Orgeat? A drink popular in
the south of France, and composed
chiefly of the milk of almonds.
To Enjoy
the full confuli'n,"c of the V eli-Informed
of the World and the Commendation of
the most eminent physicians it wa« essen-
tial that the component parts of ^yrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna should be
known to and approved by them; there-
fore, the CaKfjriiia Fig Syrup Co. pub-
lishes a full statement with every paeka^o.
The perfect purity and uniformity of pro-
duct, which they demand ic a laxative
remedy of an ethical character, are assured
by the Company's original method of man-
ufacture known to the Com]>any only.
The figs of California are used in the
production of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna to promote the pleasant taste, but
the inedicina1 principles an- obtained from
plants known to act most beneficially.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine—manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale
by all leading druggi.sts.
Directed toward the enjoyment o!
the senses, the strong will may be a
demon, and the Intellect merely Its de-
based slave; hut directed toward good
the strong will is king, and the intel-
lect is then the minister of man's high-
est well-being.
Don't It Jar You?
To have a cough that you can't
'eave off—even when you go to bod?
Put it away for good by using Sim-
mons'Cough Syrup. It heals Inflamma-
tion of the throat and lungs—gives
you rest and peaceful sleep.
His Pleasant Visit.
"Why are you whipping tbut child
so?" asked a man of a German who
was belaboring a boy of ten.
"That's none of your business," re-
plied the German. "Besides, I have
a right to whip him. He is my sis-
ter's child, who is here for his pleas-
ure."
Catarrh and Headache
Mrs. Z. E. Gofortb, 2119 Holly Street.
Kansas City, writes: "After using a
sample bottle and two 25c bottles of
Hunt's Lightning Oil, 1 am almost
well of Catarrh. It stops my head-
aches. It is the best medioine I ever
saw, and 1 just can't keep house with-
out it." She is right.
Looking Forward.
Mr. Wiggins, being in a frivolous
mood, was giving a burlesque imita-
tion of palmistry—pretending to
read his wife's fortune in her palm.
Six-year-old Ruth was listening with
intense seriousness, but neither of-
them was noticing her.
"And, finally," he concluded, after
the usual recitals about a dark man, a
light man, a Journey, and a large for-
tune, "you will live to a great age."
"Thank God!" broke In Ruth, clap-
ping hor hands ecstatically. "Then my
children will have a grandmother!"

half-jointed, pin-headed squirt with a

trians into Kingdom Come, will call

Enforced Economy.
A friend of Pat's was caught in a
shower near Ills cottage and asked
shelter from the elements. Pat opened
the door. One of the first things the
friend saw was rain coming steadily
through a hole in the roof.
"Pat, boy," said he, "for why don't
ye fix th' hole in th' roof?"
"The hole in the roof, is It?" asked
Pat, spearing for an excuse. "Oh, yis.
I would, ye know, but whin th' rain
is comin' in I can't fix it, an' whin it
don't rain it don't need fixin'."
NO MEDICINE
But a Change of Food Gave Relief.
Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which is
grov n there by nature for food to brain
and nerve tissue. This is the phos-
phate of potash, of which Grape-Nuts
food contains a large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
harley, are retailed. That is why so
many heretofore nervous and run down
people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve
and brain food.
"I can say that Grape-Nuts food has
done much for me as a nerve renew-
er," writes a Wis. bride.
"A few years ago, before my mar-
riage, I was a bookkeeper in a large
firm. I became so nervous toward the
end of each week that it seemed I
must give up my position, which I
could not afford to do.
"Mother purchased Some Grape-Nuts
and we found it not only delicious but
I noticed from day to day that I was
Improving until I finally realized I was
not nervous any more.
"I have recommended it to friends
as a brain and nerve food, never hav-
ing found its equal. I owe much to
Grape-Nuts as it saved me from a
nervous collapse, and enabled me to
retain my position."

THEY KNEW HOW 10 WORK
BUT DON'T NEED TO WORK NOW
SO HARD.
The experience of the Bisser Bros,
fn Western Canada is similar to that
reported to every agent of the Cana-
dian Government, whose advertise-
ment appears elsewhere:
"Wheatwyn, Sask., Nov. 6th, 1908. I
"To the Commissioner pf Immigra-
tion, Winnipeg, Manitoba.—Dear Sir:
I, in company with my brother and
other relations, arrived lu this coun-
try in the spring of 1893. At the time
we got off the train at Woiseley, Sask.,
we had only a few dollars, not enough
to start tarrying on our own account,
bo we were compelled to work out for
a considerable time in order to make
sufficient money to enable us to es-
tablish ourselves. When we thought
we had enough money to start with, I
and my brother took up one quarter-
section (1G0 acres) land each In the
Loon Creek district. In 1900 v*" moved
on our homesteads with one team of
horses and one walking plow. While
I was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built a shack and
barn of logs, which we have hauled
during the timo we were not able to
work in the field. We were certainly
working very hard, but I am glad to
say that we Kisde our fortune in this
country. To-day we do not need to
work so hard as we used to, as we
have three men hired steady for
whom we pay $30.00 to $10.00 a month,
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! I am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of a
section and three-quarters of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having all the necessary ma-
chinery. We always do our own
threshing, for we have a 22 horse-
power threshing outfit.
"Our success in farming in this
country also enabled us to get rid of a
number of horses of less value, and
instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares,
representing a value in the neighbor-
hood of $5,000.
"Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, I am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as 35 bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf-
fered from lack of sufficient rain, our
wheat went 27 bushels to the acre,
and we had 900 acres In crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land, and by next year wo will
have about 1,110 acres in crop. For
one carload of wheat which we have
shipped a few weeks ago we got a
price of 97 cents per bushel, and it
graded as No. 2 Northern, although we
have a quantity of wheat which will
surely go as No. 1 Northern. During
the six years we have been farming
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, so that we always
had a good crop.
"I, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
a person who is willing to work and
trun his hands to anything, can make
a fortune, and a comfortable living.
Our country is a thoroughly free coun-
try, and we have a good Government;
and, as long as we have good crops,
and a good Government, we are satis-
fied. and I think that ia all we want.
"Yours very truly,
"LORENS BISSER,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, us they cannot reach the dl*-
cased portion of the ear. 'l'hcre .* only one way to
curt* deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian 'lube. When this
tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or 1m-
perfoot hearing, and when It Is entirely closed, Deaf-
ness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal contA-
tlon. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused hy Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
