work and exactly how it will work.
He knows very well that if he
doesn't• go ,about it in .that way his

knows that the capitalist is not go-

Dainty Dishes.
Oatmeal Genus. --Take one cupful
of Cooked oatmeal, one cupful of
sweet mill., two teaspoonfuls of
sugar, one beaten egg, one-half tea-
spoonful of ,soda, and one teaspoon-
ful of cream of tartar (or one heap-
ing teaspoonful of 'baking powder
instead of the soda ,and .the cream of
tartar), and just enough flour to
hold the mixture together. Bake
the dough in hot gem pans in a
gnie'k oven..
Savory Paucakes•-Add a (lest of
cayenne pepper and a pinch. of salt
to a cup of flour and sift. Beat two
eggs well, niix with them a cup of
sweet milk, and add this mixture
gradually to the flour, beating the
batter until it is perfectly smooth.
Closter the basin with a cloth and
let it stand for an hour if possible.
Just before using stir in one and a
half teaspoonfuls of grated Cheese
and a quarter of a teaspoon of bak-
ing powder. Cook in the ordinary
way, shaking the pan when the un-
derside is lightly brown and turn-
ing. These are often served rolled.
Fillet of Whitefish. --,Skin the fish
and rinse in cold water. form it in
several long portions of fillet by-
names of your hands, Cover them
with a little soft butter, salt, pep-
er, onion juice, lemon juice or with
reamed lot iter flavored to suit
•our taste. Add a few slices of

Fresh air is always better than
air which is not ,fresh, The best
winter air is outdoors. The best
night air is :the air which is most
nearly as nature wade it. Cold,
dean air is better than warm air,
which is not so pare, always provid-
ed that there shall be sufficient
ololhring and food to maintain the
heat and strength of the body.
These facts are so well under-

And 'because fresh air in winter
often means more or less moment-

eiaily strong at this season.
'Health and vigor are 'common in

rolls and fasten with skewers, (bake
in a pan creased with butter. Baste
with the stack made of the fish bone
mixed with a. small amount of egg,
and crurn. Remove the skewers
and serve oti ,a hot platter. Before
serving add a few oysters, that have
been simmering for a few minutes,
to the sauce. '
Ginger pada Mg.—One-half pound
of bio wnabread crumbs, two ounces
of preservers ginger chopped fine,
one-half teaspoonful of powdered
ginger, two large tablespoonfuls of
golden syrup, one tablespoonful of
brown sugar, some grated lemon
peel, and two eggs, which must be
well beaten. Soak the (bread crumbs
in boiling milk, to which you have
added an ounceef butte. ;:then mix
the. cria:in!bs and Milk .with sill ' the
other ingredients.. Pit the mixture
into a mall mould, and steam .it
for one hour ; it will then turn out
easily on ala little dish, and should
be served with the diluted syrup of
the ginger made hot and poured
over it. ` " •
Spinach Soup.—Thoroughly wash
the spinach .in plenty of water, and,
if ib has not come directly from the
garden, put it o'n a cloth and lay it
on ice. Thirty minutes before t'he
soup is wanted, wash it again, let
the water drain off for two or three
minutes, and put the spinach into
a 'double boiler without any water,
except the little that clings to it.
Leave the double boiler open, for
spinach loses its color if it is cover-
ed. After twenty-five 'minutes of
cooking, strain the water from the
spinach, and press it hard to re-
move all the liquid. Return the
liquid to the double boiler, add wa-
ter if the juice is too strong, salt it
and reheat it. Add two teaspoon-
fuls of olive oil for each dish of
soup; stir it in, and serve the soup
at once. Upon each service plane
heaped tablespoonful of 'whipped
cream. The spinach itself, .after
the soup is shade, may be chopped
and reheated with butter, to be
served asa vegetable, or•,,aold, may
be served as a salad with :either
French dressing and hard-boiled or
with anayonnaa.se.
Sour Milk )Flapjacks.—To two
cups of flour add one-half •teaspoo•,i
of salt and one teaspoon of soda.
Sift and min thoroughly, then add
two scant cups• ofsour milk—if part
sour cream: they are finer",—and beat
well. Some people allow this mix-
ture, minus the soda, to stand over
night, adding the soda. with the two
eggs in the morning. 'Separate the
two eggs, beat whites and ,yolks
separately: If the 'batter is mixed
just before it is used, add the beat-
en yolks just after the beating
which ifollows the .addition of the
milk. Lastly, in any case, fold in
the whites beaten stiff. Slowly heat
the frying pan until just 'shortof a

What is the call,,
The bugle call,
The call that has no betters?
The silver call
That beats th'enn all.
The music call for letters..

And sound the dread alarm,'
T. A.* -will spring inaction
With. his rifle 'neath his arm. .

And sound the call for "mail".

Can tell just what it means
To have a live epistle
Prom your home tucked in your jeans.
A tripping sweet John Collins
To a thirst you wouldn't sell,
Isn't in it with a starving heart
That gets a word from Nell.
Or if the maiden's name is Rate,
Or Jean or Marguerite,
A scented word of love—isim makes
A week's dull drudgery sweet.
Why, any mother's soldier son
Who learns the bugle cry,
Just stops This heart and holds his
breath
For fear he'll be passed by.
His hand is all a tremble,
His eyes sick out like pegs,
He goes all of a quiver,
With the ague in his legs,
And if his name's not on the list,
He wilts like a frozen bud,
Until another mail call drags•
Him ploughing through the mud.
He's not a correspondent,
And his answers may be few;
His opportunities are slim,
To write his "billet daux."
But when he does, it its beneath
A spluttering pine.knot taper,
With a broken nib and an ink -starved
pen,
On a scrap of cartridge paper.
Now the moral is for folks at home,.
Don't wait for him to write
And don't 'gay "Dear Tom—must close;

A good long newsy letter,
Is the beat that you can yield
In the way of down -right ser'viee

MARVELOUS BALSAMIC ESSENCES CURE CATARRH -
110 DRUGS TO TATE--A DIRECT BREATHING !TIRE
Statistics Prove Ninety -Seven Per
Cent. of Canada's Population is
Infested With the Germs
of Catarrh.
TWA disease is most dangerous ow-
ing to its tendency to extend to the
Bronchial tubes and lungs, where it
causes Consumption. Unfertun,ately
the people have faith in 'prays, oint-
ments and snuffs, which •can't pos-
sibly cure, and in. consequence
catarrhal disease h'as become a na-
tional curse. Science is advauoin;g
every day, and fortunately a remedy
has been discovered that not only
cures but prevents Catarrh. This
new treatment "Catarrhozone" has
sufficient power tokill tale germs of
Bronchitis, Catarrh, : and Asthma. It
contains pule pine essences and heal-
ing balsams that go to the remotest
part of the nose, throat anal lungs,
carrying health -giving medleafaon to
every ,spot that is tainted or weak.
You don't take Catarrhozone like
cough mixture --you inhale its heal-
ing vapor at the mouth and it spreads
all through the breathing organs,
soothing and curing wherever Catarrh
exists. This is nature's way. of 'sup-
plying the ric'hes't balsams, the purest
antiseptics known to science.
A sneezing cold is cured in ten
minutes. A harsh cough is eased in
an hour, the most offensive catarrh' is
thoroughly drawn from the system.
For Asthma and Bron ehial irrita-
tion nothing can equal Catarrhozone •
—every physician and druggist says
so, and we advise our readers to try
'this treatment if suffering with a win-
ter 111. The complete outfit costs 81.10,
