'I`NE REGENA -: TRAVELER'S LUNCH. Home Far. Often Better Than Dining Car Meals, To pack lunch for a traveler re- quires much more finesse and care than if you were preparing for a day's picnic. Traveling is apt to be tire- some, for long hours of riding, even in a comfortable twentieth century train, have many drawbacks, and if a lunch is to be enjoyed on the road the same must be the acme of daintiness. Many travelers prefer to carry several meals instead of patronizing the dining car service when going on a long journey, and if each meal is packed separately and offers enough variety there is no reason why the last should not be as enjoyable as the first; Have white, clean pasteboard boxes, wrap each in a`. white paper and mark neatly. Use. the best grade of white paper nap- kins, dishes and waxed paper. A small fruit knife or butter spreader, aluminium fork and spoonand a col- lapsible cup can be carried in one's grip. When using these recipes remember. all measurements are level. Use a graded half pint measuring cup and sift our before treasuring.

It came to beevident about the mid- dle of the last century that, iu order to explain certain facts connected with' the relative weights ofgases, matter must not merely: consist of atoms, but that these atoms must have the power of uniting in small groups, In form- ing a compound,; indeed, this must be so. For instance. carbonic acid gas must consist of one atom of carbon, which, along with two atoms of oxy- gen, forms a small group of three atoms,. The novelty of the conception was In the notion that oxygen itself, in the state of gas, Its it exists, for example, in the air,' consists'of small groups of atoms; in this case, two, To such small groups of atoms was given the name molecules. A molecule is that portion of a substance which can exist in the free state, as oxygen does in alr. An atom generally exists in combination, but atoms may, and sometimesde ex- ist separately, in which case they, also 'are termed molecules. Now, can molecules be seen? Is their existence a mere assumption? The an- swer to that question is, No, they can- not be seen, but artificial molecules can be made which correspond so closely in their behavior to real mole - cult's Mill; r115 c.SwlrucC In I CAI COIFS is practically ,,rung Aloreover, althprlgit no one lies ever seen a mole- cule, still the trail; of a molecule mov- ing through space bns been seen, and. just as Robinson Crnsoe lens right In inferring the existence of Tenn leriday from his footstep imprinted in the sand, `sothe real existence of a mole- cule may just' as certainip be inferred from the track it leaves. -Sir William {ta msay in.

ANXIOUS TIMES FOR PARENTS. _— Children Often Seem Pining Away and Ordinary Medi cline Dues Not Help Them. The health of childrenbetween the ages of tweh'.e and eighteen years, particularly in the case of girls, is a source of serious worry to nearly every mother. The growth and development takes' so much of their strength 'that in many cases they actually seem to be going into a decline. The appetites is fickle brightness gives way to depression, there are often serious headache% fits of dizziness, or occasional faint- ing and a complaint of weariness at;, the slightest ;exertion( ,OardGnaity medicines' will not bring yelief. 'The blood has became thin and watery, and the child must' have 'something that will bring the blood back to its. normal: condition. At this stage no other medicine can equal. In. Will- iams' Pink Pills. Their whole mis-. sign is to make new b.Iood, which reaches every part of the body, bringing back health, strength and energy. Mrs. James Harris, Port tc Rowan, Ont., says ; At' the age of thirteen my daughter began to look very pale, and seemed listless and always tired. She did not take in- teeest inkier school work or in those amusements of girlhood, In fact she joust seemed it(o drag I telrlselllf about, complaining of always' being tired; did not eat well, and did not sleep well at night, I took her to Our doctor who said she was, an- aemic, and advised mete give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, She took the Pills for nearly ttlwo months', :when she was as well and lively as any girlcould be, gained nicely in weight, and has istnce enjoyed perfect health; I am quite sure that what the"PiJ',lstdid for my daughter they will do ,fee' other, pale weak' `girls. 1. have also usjed Dr. Will- iams' Pink Pills myelelf - with; the best results' and can only speak ,ef them in terms of gl,eates•t praise." Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2:5C from The Dr. 'Williams' Cookery Pointe Old Housewife's Pickling Recipes. An old housekeeper noted for , the good things which are concocted in her : own kitchen lays down the following laws for pickling, and all who would learn should profit; by her instruction: One. -Use .none but the beat cider vinegar. Two. -Use Porcelain lined kettles. Three. -Keep pickles well covered with vinegar. Pour. -If you use ground spices, tie them up in thin muslin bags. Five.-Sweet,pickles should be rich and sufficiently cooked to keep with- out being sealed. Six. -Nasturtiums or small pieces of horseradish thrown In each jar pre- vents the vinegar from molding, Our grandmothers used to make what they called "oil pickles," and their recipe is worthy of being handed down to posterity: To fifty small cucumbers, sliced, add one teacupful of salt and let stand three hours; then drtiin carefully. Add one quart of small _onions, also sliced; one-half cupful of celery seed, one cup ful of white mustard seed and a small pinch of pulverized alum. Mix well and then add one teacupful of the best 'salad oil and gradually enough vinegar to make the pickle sufficiently moist. Tomato ketchup retains its pristine popularity, and an uncooked variety, said to be excellent, is very simply made. The ingredients are: Four quarts ripe tomatoes, chopped fine and drained sligbtly;' one cupful of chopped onion, one cupful grated horseradish, five stalks of celery, two red peppers and one green one, chopped rather fine; one-half cupful each of salt and mustard seed, one cupful of sugar, one-balf teaspoonful each of black pep- per and mace, two teaspoonfuls each of cinnamon and cloves and one quart of eider vinegar. These should be mixed, well and then sealed up in glass jars. • Plum ketchup is another delicacy sug- gested by the abundance of the fruit. To two quarts of tart plums add two pounds of sugar and two cupfuls of vinegar, also one-half teaspoonful each of black pepper and salt, one teaspoon- ful of clove and one tablespoonful of cinnamon. This mixture should be cooked together until soft, strained through a colander and then boiled until the consistency of cream is at- tained. , sees-- see, Bordeaux sauce is another of the winter table delicacies. A good house- keeper gives us the following recipe: Slice and drain two quarts of green tomatoes. Add four quarts sliced cab- bage, slx onions, three red peppers, one-half ounce each of celery seed, whole cloves and whole peppers, two ounces of white mustard seed, six cup- fuls of sugar, one-half cupful of salt and eight cupfuls of vinegar, The mixture should be boiled for an hour and a half, or longer if not thick enough at the end of that time, and then put into jars and sealed. Dishes For invalids. Beef Tea. -Take a piece of beef from the round, remove all fat and gristle, cut into small bits and put into a glass bottle. Cover the meat with cold water and place a cork in the bottle; then place the bottle in a kettle of cold water and let it come to a boil and boil until the meat in the bottle becomes al- most white. By tbis time the meat juice will have been extracted. Strain and salt to taste. Lemonade. -To the juice of one large lemon and two level tablespoonfuls, of sugar; pour over this one and a quar- ter cupfuls of water; strain . and set on ice to chill. Serve this with a little shaved ice and add a thin slice of lemon to the tumbler. Where the sick person requires frequent servings of lemonade it might be well sometimes to add a couple of sprigs of mint to the glass. This makes it look appe- tizing and where the flavor is liked gives a little added zest to the patient to drinking it. Wine Jelly. --Soak two teaspoonfuls of granulated gelatin iu two table- spoonfuls of cold ,water. Place in a saucepan on the fire in a scant table- spoonful of boiling water, one thick slice of lemon and one tablespoonful of sugar. Let boil together for two or three minutes, then strain and squeeze the juice of the lemon into the strained liquid, Add to this the dis- solved geiatin, together with two table-, spoonfuis of sherry. Pour into individ- ual molds and let harden. Pineapple Eggnog: To one new laid egg, slightly beaten, add two table- spoonfuls ofwater, two of lemon juice' and two of fresh`' pineapple juice. Strain the mixture over sbaved Ice and sweeten to taste. Variety can be given to, eggnogs fromday to day by using different fruit favors from one's homemade store. Another drink that is usually acceptable in a sickroom, where allowed, is made by mixing three-quarters of a cupful of lemonade : with one-quarter of a cupftll of grape, juice and serving it with shaved ice. To Give White Of Egg. -When white of egg is prescribed for an Invalid It may be served by putting .into a glass two: tablespoonfuls of lemon or orange juice or grape juice, thee adding the stiffly beaten white and a little shaved ice.
