Marie, Qnt,, writes: "My little girl, six years old, hacl a dreadful hard dough. At nights she would cougb so hard she would get black in the face, and would cough for several hours before she. could stop, We tried differentkinds of medicines and had several doctors, but failed to do her any good. She could not sleep nor eat her cough was so bad, and she was simply wasting away. A friend advised me to try Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, I got a bottle and saw an improvement, and got another, Now T am only too glad to recommend it to all mothers," Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that a cough or cold should be cured immediately. Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup will cure the cough or cold and prove a pre- ventative from all throat and lung troubles such as bronchitis, pneumonia and consumption. "Dr. Wood's" is put up in a -yellow wrapper; three pine trees the trade mark ; price 25c and 50e, per bottle. Manufactured only by The T. Mil- burn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. IN LIBERTY'S NAME. How the Turkish People Honored the Constitution. The ignorance of the Turkish masses concerning political questions, says Sir Edwin Pears in "Forty Years in Constantinople," is shown by certain incidents of the revolution of 1908. The hamals, or porters, in the towns, like the peasants in the country, when they heard that His Majesty had sworn to be faithful to the constitution, inquired what it was. Was it a person? Was it a new caliph? And very few could give any clear explanation. The word "liberty" and "equality" meant some: thing good, although they could not have said what. To some they sign- ified general license. Two English friends of mine were motoring outside Smyrna when a number of Turkish boys set upon them and flung stones at them. The Eng- lishmen gave .chase and caught the principal offenders. The eldest was asked why he had thrown stones. "Hurriet var," was the reply. "There's liberty. We can do what we like now." The English replied, "Hurriet var, and I am at liberty to give you a good thrashing, am I not?" One of the boys said yes, he supposed that would be so, but he hoped the lib- erty would not be used The Eng- lishman replied that it would not be used that time, but if the offense were repeated he would use it to the fullest extent. The workmen on a newspaper dur- ing that time asked for a large in- crease of wages. "But why?" asked the owner. "Because there is a constitution." The tramway men struck for higher wages, and the only justification that they put forward was that there was now a constitution. Yet men of all classes cheered in the lustiest manner for the constitution. Throughout the month of August ' smuggled tobacco was openly sold in the streets at a very cheap rate, buyers and sel- lers alike considering that the con- stitution allowed men to set aside the law that had made the sale of tobacco a government monopoly. Ignorance is Bliss. "Do you think that women ought to govern?" "Oh, yes," replied Miss Cayenne. "But I don't know whether it would always be wise to call public atten- tion to the fact that they are doing so." Heart Was So Weak C011id Not k Up Stairs 1iitkout Help. • When the heart becomes weak and does not do its work properly the nerves become unstrung and the whole system seems to go "all to pieces." When this happens o pp you need a tonic to build up both the heart and nerves, and Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills will accomplish this for you, providing you do not let your case run too long and allow it to become chronic. Mrs. Rvangiliste Loverdure, Port Coulonge, Que., writes: "Last summer my heart and nerves were so bad I could not sleep at night, and my heart was so weak I could not go up stairs without help. My doctor said he could do no. more for me as my heart was completely done. A cousin of mine came iti one day and told nie '{hae'.1Vtilburn's Heatt : eau' Nerve Pills cured her completely. 1 immediately gave her 50 cents to bring me a box, and since that day there is a box always on my sideboard. I am now well, and my heart and nerves are stronger than when I was a little school girl. I advise anyone with heart trouble to try them., No doctor can beat them."

Mix and sift togeth- er four cups flour, three teaspoons baking powder and one teaspoon salt. Put in one tablespoon butter and mois- tee with' enough milkto make soft dough. Roll out rather thin, spread with creamed mixture, roll up like jelly cake, cut off about one inch thick and buke in quick oven. Baked Carrots. -Scrape three or four good-sized carrots and cut into dice. Simmer gently in salted water until very tender. Drain off water, mash, fine, season with salt, pepper and a little butter. Turn into deep jpudding dish, cover with fine cracker or bread crumbs, sprinkle with salt Land a dash of pepper and dot with butter. Put into reasonably hot oven and bake until crumbs are a delicate brown, Chicken Pie. -Dress and cut up the fowl as for frying; steam or boil until it is quite tender. When it is about half -done, season with salt; lay the I pieces in a baking dish, enough water `to the stock to make about a pint of liquid. Thicken smooth `with cold water and pour over the chicken. Make a good biscuit dough, roll out to an inch in thickness, and cover the chicken with it. Brown in a moder- ate oven. Strawberry Shortcake. -One experi- enced woman says that the best way to make the biscuit crust is not by splitting the thick crust, as most housekeepers do, but by making two separate layers like an ordinary chocolate cake. Spread the upper part of the lower layer well with butter and place the other layer on top of this. When they are baked you will find that they separate easily. It is much better than running the risk of ruining the cake by splitting the hot crust. Rhubarb Salad. -Soak three table- spoons powdered gelatin in one-half teacup cold water until soft. • Add one pint boiling water and stir until dissolved. Add one-half teacup sugar and four tablespoons lemon juice. Pour to depth of one inch into rather shallow, square pan and set in cool place or on ice until mixture begins to congeal. Have ready one pint chopped rhubarb, steamed until ten- der tnd slightly sweetened, and one teacup blanched almonds. Stir them into gelatine. When ready to serve cutin three-inch squares on shredded lettuce, with boiled dressing. Washington Pie. -Two cups flour (after sifting), one cup sugar, one teaspoon soda, two teaspoons cream of tartar salt. Sift all well together. Break one egg into measuring cup fill cup with milk and stir well into dry ingredients. Add three tablespoons melted butter, and bake twenty min- utes. Coffee and Heat two cups cold coffee left from breakfast. Add. twothirdscup sugar, two teaspoons butter, and two teaspoons each of cocoa and cornstarch, mixed with cold coffee. When it has thickened, and cooled, flavor with vanilla if desired, particularly if coffee was mild. It would be hard to find recipe in which one egg goes farther.. Strawberry Dessert. -A tapioca pudding with a garniture of strawber- ries is easily made. First f all, the berries must be cleaned and drained well. Now prepare the tapioca with a quart of scalded milk, using about a half cupful to the tapioca. Cook for a quarter of an hour in a double boiler. Beat together the yolks of 2 eggs, a half cupful of sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir this into the milk. Cool the mixture, and put into in- dividual glasses. Now, in order to utilize your egg whites, beat them to a stiff froth with some podwered sug- ar, add to this a cupful of fresh straw- berries, slightly mashed. Serve as a dressing for the pudding. This des- sert should be chilled before putting on the table. Lima Bean Cutlets.- One-half pound of dried lima beans one-half cup dry bread crumbs, one-half tea- spoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pep- per, one-fourth teaspoon baking soda, one egg, milk to moisten (about one- third cup)•, two tablespoons minced parsley and additional bread crumbs. Soak beans over night, drain, add baking soda with water to cover and boil until soft. Drain and mash beans. Add crumbs, seasoning, pars- ley ane one -heli of beaten egg.. Mois- ten with milk if necessary. Form in- to cutlets or croquettes, let stand a while in a cold place, roll in bread crumbs, then in egg diluted with "'.two tablespoons cold water and in crumbs again. Fry in deep fat or • saute. Watter drained from beans may be added to vegetable stockpot, if soda is not used, Veal, French Style. -Two pound veal shank, well washed; two small onions chopped fine, tablespoon but- ter or drippings, rounded teaspoon salt, saltspoon pepper, two table- spoons vinegar, one bay .leaf, corn starch for thicken: ea. .and boiling water.

Do not let liquid boil more than half away. Add more water if it does. Servewilth dumplings or potato balls and sprinkling of chop- ped parsley. Household Hints. Cornmeal is excellent for waffles and griddle cakes, Veal less than six weeks old should never be eaten. Young turkeys have smooth black legs and short spurs. If the floor is of hardwood have it finished so that it may be easily kept clean. Save time in washing spoons by keeping old teaspoons in the soda and baking powder cans. A faded dress can be made perfectly white by washing it well in boiling. cream of tartar water. When the clothesline needs clean- ing wrap it around the washboard and scrub it with a brush in soapsuds. A square of wire netting bound and mounted on four little feet is a good thing for the cooling of cakes, etc. White silk or satin slightly soiled may be cleaned by dusting with pow- dered magnesia and then brushing out. It saves having the windows washed so frequently if the inside panes are occasionally wiped over with a dry cloth. If a garment is spotted by the rain it may often be freshened by laying a damp cloth over the article and steaming it. A rich soup, with whole wheat bread and butter, a vegetable or salad, makes an excellent foundation for a dinner. To prevent the iron from sticking to the clothes while ironing put a teaspoonful of kerosene into the hot starch and let it boil up. To remove mud from clothes scrape with the edge of a penny. This will not destroy the nap of the cloth as will a sharp knife. To clean coffee or tea pots boil a little borax solution in them twice a week for 15 minutes, and it will purify and sweeten them. - If you wet a spoon before using it to serve jelly you will find the jelly. will not stick to it, and the serving is more easily accomplished. Stains in table linen are easily re- moved by plunging the . articles in pure boiling water. The addition of soap or soda would have the effect of fixing the stain. Muslin and cotton goods can be rendered waterproof by putting an ounce of alum in the last rinsini water, or by putting, the alum in the starch. Water From a Tree. At Mount Lowe, Cal., the thirsty visitor has only to turn on a faucet projecting from a large tree near the hotel and water begins to flow. No water pipes are to be seen, and curio- sity is aroused at once. The lower part of the tree is hollow, and the pipes are run underground and up through the hollow part to a knot -hole where a faucet is attached. Around the faucet the hole is plugged up with cement which looks like the tree it- self. • Somebody is always doing some- thing that the wise swear will never be done.

To turn to the north, into a di: trict only less populous and im- portant than "Asia," seemed the ob- vious and necessary sequel of the dos- ing of Asia by the prohibition realized while they were still in Galatia. A still clearer and more imperative in- dication of divine guidance was need- ed to convince them that this was not the way. It came from the Spirit of Jesus, a manifestation connected especially with the'Saviour, and very probably given through a vision of the Lord himself in a dream, as in Acts 18. 9. The phrase is not found elsewhere exactly; but phrases with the same meaning are found often en- ough to make it hard to understand how any New Testament believer could question that the Spirit "pro- ceeds from the Father and the Son." 8. Troas-Southwest of the site of ancient Troy. 9. A man of Macedonia-Ramsay's suggestion that this was Luke himself is most attractive. The tell-tale we begins here, showing that Luke met Paul at Treas. It ceases when Paul leaves Philippi, and begins again (Acts 20. 5) when he returned to it after six or seven years. That Luke was a Philippian is an easy inference, and there is nothing but a late tradi- tion to oppose it. In that case Paul sees his new-found friend in a dream which he tells as they meet in the morning. How natural that Luke should eagerly press home the perfect consonance -of the vision with the be- wildering veto that had closed two most fruitful fields of labor! 10. We -The "we passages" (Acts 16. 10-16; 20. 5-15; 21. 1-18; 27. 1; 28. 16 -with context often where the we has no reason for appearing are the very pivot of New Testament literary criticism. Even the most revolu- tionary agree with the conservative critics that they come from a com- panion of Paul.

First -In importance, in the eyes of a patriotic Philippian like the writer. Colony -The word Roman is added to remind us that the word is not used in our modern sense. It was a military outpost, whose citizens used Roman names for their magis- trates (see verse 35, margin) and were immensely proud of Roman cit- izenship (see verse 21, and compare Phil. 1. 27, margin, and 3. 20). Paul took care to make it a parable: the church is a colony in an alien word, and exists to further the empire of its metropolis. 13. A river -Called Gangites. A Jewish proseucha, or praying place, was a humbler affair than a syna- gogue, and implies that there were not many Jews in the place. The neighborhood of water was desirable because of the lustrations.
