LEFT IT TO THE OLD HENS.
Amateur Fancier Thought Hia Re.
aponsibility Had Ended.
An Indiana man tells of the efforts
of an author belonging to thfe Hoosier
school of historical novelists to put
in hi* leisure time as a "hen farm-
er" in that state. The literary pep-
eo^'s venture afforded his agricultural
neighbors no end of amusement.
During the first year the amateur
farmer discovered that all his little
chickens, which were confined in
coops, were languishing at the point
of death. The novelist went over his
"ben literature" to locate the cause of
the trouble, but to no avail.
Finally he called upon an old chap
named Rawlins, to whom he put the
question:
"What do you suppose is the mat-
ter with those chickens?"
"Well, I dunno," said Rawlins.
"What do you feed 'em?"
"Feed them!" exclaimed the novel-
ist-farmer. "Why, I don't feed them
anything!"
"Then, how'd you suppose they
was a-goin' to live?"
"I presumed," replied the literary
person, "that the old hens had milk
enough for them now."—Lippincott's
Magazine.
I IN THE HOUSEHOLD
VARIOUS MATTERS OF GENERAL
INTEREST.
CAME PRETTY FAST FOR PAT.
At That He Had Had Only What the
Doctor Ordered.
A Philadelphia physician says that
not long ago he was called to see an
Irishman, and among other directions
told him to take an ounce,of whisky
three, times a day. A day or so later
he made another visit and found the
man, While not so sick, undeniably
drunk.
"How did" this happen?" the physi-
cian demanded of Pat s wife, who was
hovering about solicitously.
"Sure, dochter, an' 'tis just what
you ordered, an' no more, that he
had," she protested.
"I said one ounce of whisky thre«
times a day; that could not make him
drunk," the physician said. "He has
had much more than that."
"Divil a drop more, dochter, dear."
she declared. "Sure an' oi didn't
know just how much an ounce was so
oi wint to the drug store an' asked,
an' the lad—he's a broth of a boy.
too—told me that an ounce was 16
drams and Pat has had thim regular,
an' no more!"—Harper's Weekly.
The Three Milkmen.
A man in a small western town
bought a quart of milk and on arriv-
ing home found it was adulterated
with water. The next day he posted
bills in different sections of th6 town
reading:
"I bought a quart of milk yesterday
which I found to be adulterated. If
the scoundrel will bring me another
quart I'll not denounce him."
The next day he found three quart
cans on his doorstep. There were
three dairymen in the town.—Judge's
Library.
FOOD
FACTS
Grape-Nuts
F*OOD
A Body Balance
People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large a pro-
portion of, as the body can take up
from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into a form of
sugar, ready for immediate assimila-
tion. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: "I have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can
truly recommend it to thin people."
He had been eating meat, bread, etc.,
right along, but there was no ten
pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that its use will reduce
the weight of a corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of a thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance of
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in a
condition of true health. Scientific se-
lection of food elements makes Orape-
Nats good and valuable. lis delicious
flavor and i>owerful nourishing prop-
erties have made friends that in
tarn have made Grape-Nuts famous.

Special Costume for Wear in Kitchen
or While at General Work—Preper
Way to Clean Matting—For
the Invalid.
The houseworker'8 costume is now
an established thing. All careful wom-
en keep special gowns of washable
cotton to wear in the kitchen or at
their housework. .Nothing is smarter
than a plain striped or checked calico
or gingham, made with a short skirt
and simple blouse attached to the
skirt band with large pearl buttons
The sleeves are short and not too full,
with cuffs that do not get In the way.
A simple band is best, and the collar
is of the comfortable kind—a Dutch
neck or a Peter Pan for hot weather
The buttons hold waist and skirt neat-
ly together, and make the garment
one to get into quickly. For such
work as frying or mixing dough, a
iarge, capacious, but not too full,
apron is worn. The old way of wear
ing out old clotheB and semi-soiled
blouses in the kitchen is gone. One
cannot wear old clothes at all these
days, but must give them away. The
gain is perceptible to the receivers, for
these rejected garments do not get
much worn before they are out oi
date, and, after all, the family labora
tory, where the family food is pre
pared, is no place for worn finery oi
soiled, unsuitable clothing. So the
gain is in neatness and sweetness, and
the greater joy of the rest of the
household.
To clean matting, sweep it thorough-
ly first with a stiff broom, following
carefully the grain of the straw, heat
up a soft broom in warm water and
brush across the grain. Finally wash
the matting off with warm water, in
which a handful of salt has been dis '
solved. If light in color borax will j
aid in brightening and preserving the |
shade.
For an invalid with literary or ar- ;
tistic taste nothing could be more j
entertaining that to provide means ;
of extra-illustrating some favorite
book. A pile of miscellaneous maga
zines containing art or scenery arti-
cles illustrated with cuts and photo-
graphs, a pair of scissors and a roll
of narrow gum tissue paper will prove
a mine of interest. An article on
Cornwall will add realistic views to |
"Lorna Doone," or "Armorel of Lyon |
esse," while historical portraits can |
easily be found for Scott's novels, or t
modern medieval romances. When !
chosen to be fastened in the book, a j
thin strip of the gummed paper wil! j
hold it in place. A dollar's worth ol i
penny reproductions of famous pic |
tures is a good prescription for in
creasing the patient's interest in life ;
Forcemeat Pudding.
Soak two tablespoonfuls of tapioca
for an hour in enough cold water to
cover it. Prepare forcemeat balls by
rubbing two tablespoonfuls of butter
into two cupfuls of bread crumbs, and
mixing with them one small boiled
beet, chopped fine; two button onions
boiled and minced; a tablespoonful of
parsley, and salt and pepper at discre
tion. Bind the mixture with two well '
beaten egg*. Form into rather small j
balls with the hands and lay in a deep
pie dish or shallow pudding dish. Mix
with them three hard-boiled eggs cut
into small pieces, pour over them the
soaked tapioca, cover with pastry and
bake.
FULLY UP WITH THE TIMES.
Oklahoma City Surprised Narrow-
Minded New Yorker.
Oklahoma amazes an easterner. The
wide, asphalted streets, the plate glass
fronts of department stores, the clean
sidewalks, the well-dressed, unhurried
shoppers, the finish, the metropolitan
air you find in Oklahoma City, for ex-
ample, seem marvels to find in a ter-
ritory only 17 years old. But do not
say so.
A New Yorker who went there on
business complained that fate was
thrusting him into a wilderness, and
his Oklahoma associates could not re-
assure him. But coming down to
breakfast the first morning, at his
hotel in Oklahoma City, he stared
around in wonder as he entered the
dining-room.
"This," he exclaimed, "this is Okla-
homa! ! Why, do you know?" confi-
dentially, "I even found a porcelain
bathtub in my room."
"Well," said an Oklahoman, drily,
"don't you have those In New York?"
BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet—Would
Cry Until Tired Out—Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.
"My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to Irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. I had heard of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
I thought I would give them a trial.
The improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before I had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled ber
since. I also used it to remove what
is known as 'cradle cap' from her
head, and it worked like a charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier,
Thomaston, Me., June 9, 1906."
He Was Not to Blame.
Little Bartholomew's mother over-
heard him swearing like a mule
driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He
displayed a fluency that overwheSmed
her. She took him to task, explaining
the wickedness of profanity as well
as its vulgarity. She asked him where
he had learned all those dreadful
words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one of his playmates, had
taught him. Cavert's mother was
straightway informed and Cavert was
brought to book. He vigorously de-
nied having instructed Bartholomew,
and neither threats nor tears could
make his confess. At last he burst
out: "I didn't tell Bartholomew any
cuss words. Why should I know how
to cuss any better than he does?
Hasn't his father got an automobile,
too?" ■
Left Army for Pork Trade.
Aladar Stolincki, an aristocratic
lieutenant of a Hungarian hussar reg-
iment, has resigned his commission to
become an apprentice to a pork butch-
er in Budapest. He says he can not
live on his pay—$400 a year—and that
he considers a man of intelligence and
energy can do well in the pork trade.
Pronounce These Rapidly.
The vicar of Dwygyfylchi-cum-Pen-
maenmaur told the royal commission
of the church in Wales recently that
he had been at Pistylecnm-Carnguwch,
Llangefui-cum-Tregaian, Llandyfuan-
cum-LIanfair and Arleechwedd.
WHAT'S THE USE?
Egg and Tomato Pudding.
Boil sijc eggs hard, cut each into
eighths, lay them in a well-buttered
pudding dish, pour over them two cup
fuls of 'stewed tomatoes, thickened I
with a tablespoonful of flour rubbed
in two tablespoonfuls of butter; sea-
ion with a teaspoonful of onion Juice,
pepper and salt; strew the top with
oread crumbs and bits of butter and
orown in the oven.
Veal Stewed With Parsnips.
Scrape and cut into dice two
medium sized parsnips and half a
dozen roots of salsify. Pare one celery
root and cut it quite fine. In the bot
tom of a stewpan put four thin slices
of salt pork, lay on this one pound of
lean veal or a small knuckle, add the ]
vegetables and sufficient boiling water
to partly cover. Simmer slowly for *
two hours, transfer the veal to a hot J
platter, arrange the vegetables around
it, squeeze over it the juice of one- i
half of a sour orange, and cover it
with the hot liquor.1
Cherry Salad.
Remove the stones from the cher
ties and fill the cavities with chopped
I nut meats. Arrange on i bed of let
| luce leaves and select a few hand
some cherries from which the stem*
have not been removed, and use tbem
as a garnish. Serve with the boiled
dressing without adding cream, oi
with a French dressing.

To Pour in Coffee When It Acts aa a
Vicious Enemy.
Fasters have gone without food for
many day3 at a time but no one can go
without sleep. "For a long time I have
not been sleeping well, often lying
awake for two or three hours during
the night but now I sleep sound every
night and wake up refreshed and vig-
orous," says a Calif, woman.
"Do you know why? It's because I
used to drink coffee but I finally cut it
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then I have drank coffee and
both times I passed a sleepless night,
and so I am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re-
moved it.
"My brother \*%s In the habit of
drinking coffee three times a day. He
was troubled with sour stomach and I
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress in
his stomach; lately hardly a day
passed without a dose of soda for re-
lief.
"Finally he tried a cup of Postum
and liked it so well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in its place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stom-
ach."
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for a time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach, but easily proved it.
Coffee is not suspected in thousands
of cases Just like this bat It's easily
proved. A ten day's trial works won-
ders. "There's a Reason."

The Crack In His Armor.
"It's a good thing for a mata to be
a little bald," said the girl as they
walked along in the rear of one be-
neath whose hat showed a small bare
half moon. "It takes the conceit out
of them. Now there's John. He has
a bald spot that he has spent about a
hundred dollars on to no effect. When
he gets too smart all I have to do is to
glance carelessly toward that vulner-
able spot and he# subsides immedi-
ately."

Mrs. Myles—I see the 24-year-old
son of a London dry goods man is a
bankrupt, having managed to get rid
of $2,100,000 since he came of age.
Mrs. Styles—Oh, well, boys will be
boys!
Mrs. Myles—Well, this looks as if
a boy had an ambition to be a
bridge whist player.

Late Already.
Five minutes after the tardy gong
had struck, the principal of the school
was walking through the lower hall
when he saw a pudgy little fellow
scampering toward the first grade
room as fast as his fat legs could
carry him. "See here, young man, I
want to talk to you," called the prin-
cipal to the late comer. "I hain't got

replied the breathless beginner aa the
door of his classroom closed.—The
