The cost of meat fat is high. It must always be remembered the fat is paid for at the same price as the lean. Much of the fat paid for dries out • of the meat in the cooking and is not sent with the meat to the table. Much of the fat of the meat sent to the table is not eaten. What becomes of it? Much of it never reaches the table again. Too frequently it is fed to a useless dog, dumped into the soap Brea:., scraped into the garbage pail, or even thrown into the fire,and burn- ed. The thrifty housewife saves every ounce of sweet fat for future cooking, and seldom has to buy special lard or oil for cooking. When any fat can- not be used for cooking, it is converted into soap. One housewife reports her experi- ence of saving and keeping the differ- ent kinds separate for different pur- pose, as Follows: Beef dripping for potatoes. Pork dripping for sweet potatoes, gingerbread and ginger cookies; mix- ed with beef dripping for meat pastry. Ham, bacon, and 'sausage fats for soups, vegetables, and things too nu- merous to mention. Lanb fat for warming over beans. Veal fat for omelets. Chicken, duck, and goose fat for cookies, gingerbread, and spiced cakes. Chicken fat with a little bacon prov- ed delectable for cooking oysters in. There is no doubt that a careful sav- ing and use of meat fats lessens the butter bill to a considerable extent. To Renovate Shiny Serge.

Medicines From Garden. Every vegetable garden is a medi- cine chest recognized by physicians as of considerable value in the treatment of diseases. Onions, for example, contain sulphur oil and are recom- mended for insomnia and as an aid to gastric digestion. They also help to ally rheumatic pains. Turnips and parsnips have peculiar oily principles which are of value to an aperient and diuretic. They also are said to be good for coughs and. hoarseness. Carrots are useful for correcting derangements of the liver. They are excellent as a dressing for painful wounds and swellings. The tomato exercises medicinal ef- fects not completely explained by the presence of alkaline salts. There is a principal present which, in a concen- trated state, produces salivation and a free stimulation of the liver. -O-o--o-o-O--o-o-0-0-0-0--0-- 0 YE14AGICALiIL1 T io-0-o-o-o-0-o-oo-o-o-0- S! oLIFT GUT WITH FINGERS I�I Yon say to the drug store man, "Give me a small bottle of freezone." This will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or cal- lus from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender", aching corn relieves tho soreness in- stantly, and soon the entire corm or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries in a moment, and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without irritating the surrounding skin. Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whittling at iris corns, but clip this out and make hint try it. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to order a small bottle from his wholesale drug' house for you. DORMANT SEEDS. The Heat of Clearing Fires Germination. To walk through a wood recently cleared of its timber is often a re- velation.' A host of plants, not there while the timber stood, is frequently discovered -blooms and herbs pre- cious both in their beauty and their use. Until the trees were .felled the little things never had a charice. For years they may have been dormant in the seed, waiting their opportunity. In- deed, one of the impressive things about Nature is just this wealth of potentiality, dormant seeds and buds by the millions awaiting the axe or the pruning knife or the fire. We have read of an Arctic eaxplorer telling of a party of British sailors who landed on a frozen island far North and by mischance set fire to such stunted vegetation as there was. They left it 'a bare and blackened rock, Some years later another party landed and found the place clots ed with a forest of silver birches. The flames had awakened the slumbering seeds. So also is it with the lives of linen. The disasters that lay low the heart often give dormant graces a chance, and the place of loss yields its in- crews(., There are 270 active volcanoes iii the world. Incites CENTS OR PENNIES? Revision of the Complicated System of British Coinage. Among the many reforms brought appreciably nearer by the war is the revision of the British coinage Sys- tem, The Old Country coinage is ad- mittedly the most complicated in the world, and as a consequence British trade in foreign countries has suffered by reason of the inability of other countries to master its intricacies. A Bill is being promoted to change all this. The Decimal Association, supported .by .the Chambers of Com- merce, urge that the unit should be the florin instead of the sovereign. The florin would contain one hundred cents, and so the shilling would be- come a fifty -cent piece, and the six- pence twenty-five cents. There would have to be a one -cent piece, just a trifle less valuable than the present farthing.; The five -shilling piece would be swept av'ay altogether. On the other is the material from which blood is hand, two new nickel coins are sug- made, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills gested. One of these would be a tet - cent piece (equivalent to twopence- halfpenny at present), the other a five -cent piece (equivalent to a penny- farthing). Behind the suggestion is the closely allied one that the metric system of weights and measures should be intro- duced, IMPURE BLOOD IN THE SPRING The Passing of Winter Leaves People Weak and Depressed. As winter passes away. it leaves many people feeling weak, depressed and easily tired, The body lacks that vital force and energy which pure blood alone can give. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are an all -year-round blood builder and nerve tonic, but they. are especially useful in the spring. Every dose helps to make new, rich, red blood, Returning strength commences with their use and the vigor and cheer- fulness of good health quickly follows. There is just one cure for lack of blood and that is more blood. Food AS TO ROBINSON CARUSOE. Schoolboy's Hazy Ideas Regarding Two Famous Stories. In commenting on the unfortunate tendency of some readers to hurry through books and magazines with such carelessness that they have very very little idea of what they have read or of who wrote it, the. Bellman quotes the following review of a famous book, submitted by a New York boy in his second year at the high school: Robinson Carusoe This book was chosen by Depoe, a man of many qualities and professor at. Fordham University. It was edit- ed by Ginn & Company, containing one hundred and forty-nine pages, costing sixty-five cents. Professor Depoe's selections are very interesting. He shows where Carusoe left his wife and went up to the summit of a high mountain with his gun in hand, accompanied by a dog While he was there for a short time," darkness came upon him and he, felt drowsy, ses he put his gun at his side a ell asleep. ' Here, he slept f r n when he o da :.. f yearsa awoke h.und out that he had grown old and his gain was rusty. Moreover, there were men playing tenpins and dining on the mountain. This, he too, soon partook of. Finally, he thought of home and he began to descend the mountain. He 'now found himself in a city. After searching for his homehe was made known to his wife, and they lived happily ever after. All of Depoe's 'books are on this style and should be in every home. The Clock He Needed. A Customer had overhauled a num- ber of clocks of all shapes, sizes, and descriptions .but nothng seemed to ex- actly suit his taste. At length the jeweler, in despair, fetched out a mas- sive timepiece of complicated design. "Here, sir, is a clock which will, I think, suit your aesthetic taste. At precisely 10 -o'clock every morning the my bells chime and a bird hops out and sings a carol." "I will take that if you will make a few changes in it." "With pleasure," the jeweler said. "I have a daughter," went on the customer, `and •I want the clock for the room where ',she entertains her company.' Make•, it so that at 11 o'clock at night a milkman's Bell will ring and a newsboy will skip out and shoot `morning papers!" Knight: "What kind of a rilan is an F eccentric man ?" Towne: "An ec- centric man,nty boy, s ai Man who in- sists on living his -life his own way." double the value of the food we eat, They give strength, tone up the stom- ach and weak digestion, clear the complexion of pimples, eruptions and boils, and drive out rheumatic poisons.

"Sire," said the grand vizier of a certain Oriental potentate, "I suggest that in the future we buy our auto- mobiles from the Western company that has just offered us a thirty -per- cent. discount." "Goods" said the potentate. "Order a consignment of five hundred auto- mobiles, assorted sizes, at once, and tell the company to send us a check for the discount by return mail, and the bill will be settled in due course." ••e z A Mild Reproof. roof. An Italian greengrocer and fruit- erer was very much vexed by possible customers who made a practice of handling and pinching the fruit, there- by leaving it soiled. But the cheery son of the south was not going to let this go on much longer, and he put up a notice which read: "If you must pincha de cocoanut." fruit pincha THE ONLY MEDICINE FOR LITTLE ONES Digestion and Health. Attention is called to the fact that starchy foods are more quickly and thoroughly digeste.1 in the secretions. of the glands of the mouth than in any other part of the digestive system. The digestion of starch always begins with the saliva. The proper mastica- tion of starchy foods depends upon their being held in the mouth long en- ough to permeate them thoroughly with ptylain. If the starch is swal- lowed without being saturated in the mouth it passes on through the stom- ach proper into what might be called the second stomach, where its diges- tion is again taken up; but there is no substance like the secretions of the mouth. The expert chemists are constantly testing the commercial substances sold as digestive agents, yet one has never heard of any of them that would compare in digestive strength with the saliva of the mouth. The important lesson to maintain health in youth and old age is the pro- per digestion of the starchy foods by mixing them up with the saliva in the mouth and not swallowing them down until that takes place. This will pro- duce the chemical condition necessary for it to be taken up and circulated through the body and give strength to it along with that given by meats, beans and fats. The following represent some of the starches to be well masticated and mixed with the saliva before swallow- ing: Potatoes, corn, rye, hominy, rice, white bread, toast, macaroni, bananas, crackers, all cereal breakfast foods, tapioca, arrow root, sago, buckwheat, barley and parsnips. How To Avoid Pneumonia. There is a great variety of lung con- gestions called pneumonias, sometimes preceding the true infectious pneu- monia, which are caused by micro. scopic organisms or germs. The lesson much needed at this sea. son of the year, is how to avoid these different congestions of the lungs. Avoid the use of all alcoholic drinks. Seek fresh air at every opportunity, but keep the body comfortably warm at all times. Keep the feet warm and dry. Avoid an excess in starchy food. stuffs,'•as`therare apt to set up 'a catarrhal condition, which May pre. dispose to catarrhal pneumonia. Habits should be regular. Avoid crowded rooms or vehicles fon transportation. The greater number of persons confined in a poorly ven. t;lated room increases in proportior the chances of contracting influenza; commonly called "colds." Never overexercise and exhaust thI strength and then eat during the physical exhaustion. /lever take drugs excepting under a doctor's advice, as they often do muck harm. Avoid coming in contact with infec• tious pneumonia. AT A CHINESE INN. Babies Sleep in Cradles That Swing From Rafters.

Far away from the loud clamor of the Western world, we fell asleep in a clean inner room, to the soft sound of swinging cradles and grinding millstones. gt,v.P'ix'fit, OUR SERVICE AMA EVERYW ERE No matter where you live PARKER Service is right at your door.
