DRESSMAKER
MADE WELL
Followed a Neighbor's Advice
and Took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Vernon, Tex.-" For three years I
guffered untold agony each month with
pains in my sides. 1
found only tempo-
rary relief in doctor's
medicine or anything
else I took until my
husband saw an ad-
vertisement of
Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Com-
pound. I mentioned
ft to a neighbor and
she told me she had
taken it with good
— results and advised
me to try it. I was then in bed part of
the time and my doctor said I would
have to be operated on, but we decided
to try the Vegetable Compound and 1
also used Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative
Wash. I am a dressmaker and am now
able to go about my work and do my
housework besides- You are welcome
to use this letter as a testimonial as 1 am
always glad to speak a word for your
medicine.'' - Mrs. W. M.Stephens, 1103
N. Commerce St., Vernon, Texas.
Dressmakers when overworked are
prone to such ailments and should profit
by Mrs. Stephen's experience.
Write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine

your health. Your letter will be opened,

Apples are such wholesome fruit
that all who enjoy them should eat
freely of the fruit. The
following dish may not
be recommended for di-
gestibility, but It can be
for enjoyment:
Fried Apples and On- I
ions.—Heat a frying pan j
until smoking hot, add !
one-third of a cupful of
sweet fat, two pints of
sliced onlona and one and one-third
teaspoonfuls of salt. Cook gently
over a slow fire to ten minutes, stir-
ring occasionally. Add three pints of
quartered tart npples and two table-
spoonfuls of sugar; let cook slowly
until browned.
Apple Sandwich.—Chop one large
apple and one-third of a cupful of
raisins together. Spread thin slices
of graham bread with butter, spread
with the fruit mixture, sprinkle with
lemon Juice and cover with another
slice of buttered bread.
Baked Apple Salad.—Core six small
uniform tart apples and place in a
baking dish. Fill the centers with
brown sugar nnd a lump of butter in
each. Bake as usual, basting them
with a little water, then chill. Mix
together one-half cupful of chopped
| peanuts and one cupful of cubed
nmrslimnllows with three-fourths of a
! cupful of mayonnaise; fill the centers
I with the mayonnaise and cubes of Jel-
: ly. Serve garnished with lettuce
hearts.
Pretty red apples hollowed to form
cups, then the apple chopped nnd
mixed with celery, nuts nnd mayon-
naise with a dash of onion, niflke a
pretty and good tasting salad.
Another good apple pudding Is pre-
pared by chopping two cupfuls of np-
ples. Add one-half cupful of raisins,
plnce In the center of a thinly rolled
pastry mixture, roll up and pinch the
edges together. Place in a deep buk-
ing dish, add one cupful each of
brown sugar and boiling water nnd
two tablespoonfuls each of butter,
Hake one hour In a moderate oven.
Add more water If needed and a dash
of vinegar, if the apples are not tart.
Serve with the sauce in which the
pudding was cooked.
My advice Is. never do tomorrow
what you can do today. Procrastina-
tion Is the thief of Ume. Collar hlm!-

St. Louis, Mo—"I have taken
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
for general weakness and when run-
down and suffering with nervous-
ness, and can truthfully say it has
done me more good than any medi-
cine 1 have ever taken, and I find
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets very
good to regulate the system. They
aid very much in keeping a person
in a good healthy state." — Mrs.

When oranges are the cheapest then
Is the time to make orange marmalade.
For those who do
not care for the
bitter English
product the fol-
lowing will ap-
peal :
Amber Marma-
lade.—Tnke one
orange, one
grapefruit, one lemon, cut fine, cover
with 12 cupfuls of cold water and let
stand over night. He sure that all
seeds are removed, but pulp nnd skin
are all used. Now cook until tender,
slowly for an hour or until the peel is
transparent. Then set away until the
next day, then add ten cupfuls of sugar
and simmer until thick. Pour into
glasses and seal Yith paraffin. This
recipe will make about fourteen glasses
of marmalade.
Savory Sandwich Filling.—Blanch
one-half cupful of almonds and brown
them in a frying pan with a table-
spoonful of oil. Chop fine, season with
salt and paprika. Add two tablespoon- \
fuls of chopped pickles, one table-
spoonful of chopped chutney. Spread
either bread or crackers with cream
cheese nnd sprinkle with the chopped
mixture.
Delicious Filling.—Cream two small
cream cheeses until smooth. Add
gradually two tablespoonfuls of but-
ter and one-fourth of n cupful of
orange juice. When well mixed add
one-half cupful of chopped pimento,
one cupful of chopped walnut meats
and one-half tea^poonful of salt. Mix
veil and spread between slices of but-
tered oatr.ioal bread. This will make
25 sandwiches.
Puffed Rice Brittle.—Cook In a
M'.iooth omelet pan ore cupful of su-
enr until clear and brown; stir into
the sirup a cupful or more of crisped
puffed rice. Pour on a greased plate
and when cool mark in squares and
break.
Puffed wheat or popped com may
be used In place of the rice. With
•he addition of a few nuts one has a
richer confection.
The question, "How is the country
to be fed if the population continues
to drift to the cities?" Is one that
should create an agitation that will
bring about a reply that will mean a
solution. The census, recently com-
pleted, reveals n situation truly alarm-
ing, one that has never been known
In the United States before. The ur-
ban population is now Rreater than
that of the rural districts by about
4,(XX),000. Cities and towns, each with
more than 2,500 inhabitants, contain
54,318,032 persons, or 51.4 per cent of
the total population, while the farms
nnd smaller towns together claim only
51.390.739 persons, or 4S.G per cent of
the total. „
As is pointed out by an Influential
Chicago daily, "the drift to the cities
Is thus proved and, reduced to figures,
showing a top-heavy condition of the
industrial life."
Farming Is and must remain the
basic industry of the world, and cer-
tainly should remain the basic indus-
try of a nation with a contlnentnl
nrVa like ours. It Is small profit to
gain the markets of the world with
manufactured goods If agriculture has
depaved so badly as to furnish an un-
certain subsistence for our people, and
fluctuating crops are reflected in price
changes that upset the economic life
of the country. Yet we nre within
measurable distance of that condition,
If the present or recent drift toward
the cities continues.
Most writers on this topic take It
for granted that young folks go from
farms to cities merely to make more
money. Doubtless that is something
of a motive at all times and was a
very strong one in the period imme-
diately after the war, when city indus-
tries paid wages totally impossible for
farmers to rival.
It Is hoped that this drifting has
reached Its apex. Unless It has. nnd
there still remains a possibility of its
continuance, the effect cannot be fore-
told. The great wave of manufactures
for war purposes lias ceased, and with
it the number of those employed in
factories is diminishing by thousands
daily. It is therefore hoped that there
will again be beard the slogan, "For-
ward to the Land." If prices to which
farm land has reached are prices pro-
hibitive to many, the opportunity is
still open elsewhere. There are states
possessing large areas of good land
that may still be had at prices within
the reach of many, and it is doubtless
true that In self-preservation it will
be necessary to bring these lands un-
der cultivation. The prices nre not
high, considering their value. Then,
too. there are the lands of Western
Canada, that hold out an inviting pros-
pect. Reports from there show that
the prosperity of the farmers there Is
not mythical. Farming there is con-
ducted on scientific principles, nnd
1 the climate is such as appeals. The
I production amply repays all the ex-
i penditure that may be made. The
; social conditions nre of a character
j that make farm life a pleasure, and
; tends to keep the young man and
young woman from pining for urban
: ilfe with so many drawbacks. If con-
ditions as above mentioned, showing
such a large percentage of population
In the cities and towns, continues, they
will require food. The opportunity to
1 supply it is by the means suggested.
Go forward to the farm, become In-
dependent. and become a factor Id
supplying the world's needs In cattle,
sheep, grain and such other commo-
dities as the farm will produce and
the resident of the city requires-

SECOND PLACE
ROMANCE! HIMALAYAS
TRAILS ABOUND
Written Testimonial of the Trials and
Triumphs of the Men Who
Fashioned Them.
Nothing Is more romantic than the
trail, remarks a writer in the Los An-
geles Times. It is the artery of trade
and life itself. On laud it moves about
the bases of the mountains, out of the
lowlands, winding through the chapar-
ral, along the easy grades of the can-
yons, never forcing its way, but defi-
nitely avoiding the slippery rock face
and the poison oak; upward Into the
fresh air that breathes through the
pass; on, through the pass and into
the unknown beyond, into the valley of
heart's desire it carries the laden mule
and the traveler with his pack.
Across the great deserts the trail is
a caravan route, seeking the shades of
cliff and avoiding the shifting dunes;
stretching unerringly toward the next
water hole. It Is the written testimo-
nial of the trails and triumphs of the
men who have gone before. It is the
only pathway of the devout pilgrim, as
of the warlike Bedouin. Every habita-
tion of man that has ever dominated
one of these great trails has made his-
tory and has been in its day a treasure
house.

Exploration in Tibet Have Revealed
Existence of a More Massive
Mountain Range.
Among the greatest results achieved
by the Hedin explorations in Tibet
was the discovery of a continuous
mountain chain, 2,000 miles long,
stretching east and west, and which,
taken as a whole, is the most massive
range on the crust of the earth. Its
average height above sea level is
greater than that of the Himalayas,
and although its peaks are from 4,000
to 5,000 feet lower than Mount Ever-
est, its passes average 3,000 feet high-
er than those of the Himalayas.
The eastern "and western parts of
this range were known before, but the
central and highest part, in Bongba,
was unexplored previous to Doctor
Hedin's visit. He crossed ten passes
In the range.
No Sunday Walk.
"I don't like the way Mr. Wad-

"You dou't think he's a hypocrite,

"Probably not, but he pussyfoots

foots into a directors' meeting. He
might at least alter his gait on the
Sabbath."—Birmingham Age-HeraM.
