attempting to arrive at
a judgment.
Look at the beauty and
loftiness, of the golden--

NEGLECT.
To cleanse the system of undigested
food, foul gases, excess bile in the
liver and waste matter in the bowels
will impair your health. The best
system regulator is FIG PILLS. At
all dealers 25 and 50 cents or The Fig
Pili Co,, St. Thomas, Ont,
Protection And Prices.
It is something that the free
traders will have to meet and ex-
plain that with free trade in England
the cost of living has advanced pro-
portionately with the increase in
Canada under a system of protection.
Figures have lately been published in
England bythe co-operative whole-
sale society to show the rise of prices in
thirteen years. Custom differs widely
in food as in other things in the two
countries, but it is shown that what is
called an "average weekly family
grocery order," which would have cost
at wholesale about $1 33 in 1898,
would have come to over $1,50 in I910,
an increase of ove; twelve per cent.
Five dollars would have bought eighty
pounds of these standard groceries in
1898, but in 1910 the purchasing power
of five dollars would have been only
seventy-one and a quarter pounds.
Evidently something besides the tariff
has been at work to bring about the
increased cost of living. Incidentally
it may be interesting to learn what is
considered an "average order" in
England. It consists of a pound of
bacon, two pounds of butter, a half -
pound of cheese, twelve pounds of
flour, a half -pound of lard, a pound of
meal, four pqunds of sugar, and a half -
pound of tea. Tea, by the way, is
cheaper than in 1898, and is drank
much more in England than is coffee,
which in this country is preferred to
tea and has risen to a very high
price.

chronic it inay be, that we offer to

We thick that it is worse than use-

do much harm. They may cause a
reaction, irritate and weaken the
bowels, and make constipation mote

Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine of colon. To expect a cure
you n'lust therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.

RECUR TUE FOOD BILL
The other day in Philadelphia thirty
cu forty women met to discuss eating
down the cost of living.
They were all housekeepers, all mo
there of families averaging five in
number and all obliged to manage on
an income averaging from $10 to $12 a
week(
One woman, who held her baby on
her lap while she talked, and who
bore every evidence. of thrift and relinen:ent, told of walking ten block
to save half a Bent in her market pur
chases ; another recited the history o
how she skimps and saves, stays up
till 12 o'clock at night doing sewing
to gather together enough money to
give her husband the two eggs he
asks for at his breakfast.
"It isn't a question of having more
children than we used to have, I
isn't a q estion of having lees money,'
said one who, in her way, is as great
a ..student of economics as the fore
most sociologist of the day, "It is
simply a question of having to pay
twice as much for everything. For 25
cents I was able a few years ago to
buy a piece of meat• for dinner that
would feed my family of five, and feed
them well, My family hasn't increas-
ed, and my income has not, either,
and yet to -day the piece of meat 1 get
for 25 cents won't feed, three of us."
In the meantime these is a golden
rule for every housekeeper who is in
earnest in her desire to cut down the
food bill.
Do your marketing in person if it is
at all possible, A Toronto lady
says ;—"Canned goods, like' every-
thing else, have gone up. Last year
and the year before I could get three
tins of corn or three of peas—some-
times four—for 25 cents straight.
Now I pay 11 and 15c for the peas and
10 and 110 for the corn. Though oc-
casionally on bargain days they are
cheaper. Therefore I pin my faith to
the vegetables in bulk. I can buy
a basket of carrots, turnips or par-
snips . for 35c or a little over, That
will be about a peck. They will last
my family of six nearly two weeks.
Of course I do not cook them every
day—just at judicious intervals,"
Onions are a IittIe dearer than the
above named vegetables, being about
GO cents a basket, They are, how-
ever, among the most healthful and
especially good in cold weather, but
they require more butter than do car-
rots for instance, to make them
palatable.
COOK CARROTS WI'1'1'I MEAT.
To anyone who does much cookirg
the carrot is almost as essential as the
onion. To cook carrots with meat is
to improve the meat and to make it
go farther, Like beans and peas with
meat, the carrots improves and makes
savory the cheaper cuts, Often when
people have a distaste for pure carrot
they will like the deliciousness im-
parted to the liquid of a stew by it.
To make it less apparent that the
carrot is present, and to make the
blend of ingredients more complete,
the carrot is often grated into the
stew.
The carrot grows in esteem with
people, as they learn to mitigate, in
cooking, the rank flavor which it
often has, and it is for this reason that
the usefulness of the carrot is being
extended every" day. But it is not
likely to be a popular' vegetable in
most families unless its presentation
is frequently varied. Yet the average
home cook has about two ways- of
cooking this vegetable.
Following are two or three recipes
which.vary the usual programme :--
CREAMED CARROTS.
Use three good sized carrots for four
persons. Scrape or pare them and cut
in small narrow pieces. Put a tea-
spoon 'of rendered beef suet in a pot,
add a little onion juice, put in carrot,
let cook for a few minutes, but not
brown, pour in boiling water to cover,
season with a half teaspoon of salt, a
dash of pepper, and one teaspoon of
sugar. Let the carrots boil rather
slowly for one hour. If the water
boils low, add a little boiling water to
replenish. When carrots are done
thicken the liquid about them with
one and a half teaspoons of flour (nix-
ed carefully with three-fourths of a
cup of milk. Pour this in with the
carrots and cook a few minutes in' a
white sauce. The liquid about them
may then be used in a meat or vege-
table soup.
DICED CARROTS.
Cut three large carrots into dice,
simmer in enough water to coven.
When tender add three tablespoons of
milk and butter as Targe as a hazel
nut, Season and let coene,to a boil.
HUNGARIAN CARROTS.
Peel and cut carrots into pieces one
nob and a half in length, Out these
ieces into thin: slices and Out these
Hos into stripe a little larger than
matches. Boil them in salted water
until tender. Drain off the water and
dd one-fourth cup of sugar and one-
ourth cup of vinegar. Cook for
fteen minutes in this mixture and
erve.
TURNIPS GOOD Vt GETA13LES,
At this season of the year turnips
re espeoially sweet and good, Yet
eoaeionally you may get hold of rt<
W one. When it was so it used
o be dustotnary to mash it, put it in a
loth and wring it, then add salt and
utter, and, if the sweetness was gone,
little sugar, when it was as good as
ew, if the water in which tuenlps is
ookec`i, is salted, there should be a good
eal of it, and perhaps it le better any-
ay to boil the turnip in a great deal
f water, very lightly salted if at all,
f boiled too long, even la unsalted
eters It Is bested to lost its sweetness
a rid become bitter. An 11eh k
fashion of eooking the turnip is to
cut it in dice of considerable size, boil
it in fresh or very lightly salted water
until the water is all boiled away
-
measuring it so as to ,use just enough
to boil away at the right time—then
to the tender turnip add butter, salt
and pepper and serve. Most cooks
mash this vegetable. ]3e sure and do
not allow it to be lumpy, Some coops
also add a teaspoon of sugar to nearly
every kind of vegetable, while cooking
to improve the flavor.

year and keep this up for three years,
when they cut down the product.

Here is one of the many cases in which
several members of one family hay
benefited from the household box of Zain
Buk. Col. -Sgt. Louis Elliott, 3rd Co., 46th
Battalion, ipetcwboro, Ont., says : " The
lower part of my face, cheek and chin
broke out in small red pimples, which Y
later festered and broke, forming nasty
sores and dry scabs. The itching set up
by these eruptions and sores was terrible,
and seemed far worse during the night.
All. kinds of soaps, wadies and ointments
were tried in the vain attempt to get
relief, even to bathing with carbolic acid
and water. Finally X thought of ZanrBuk
and straightway procured a box at the
drug store. One night's application
brought great relief from the intense
itching, and as 1 kept on ap plying this balm daily, the inflammation
was soon drawn out, and in less than a, week's time the sores were
thoroughly healed and every scab banished." .
e
Mrs. Elliott, 139 Sherbrot ,ko St., Peterboro, telling of Zam,Buk's
effect on her younger son Walta 1r, says : "Ile slipped and eaxtsed a wound
on his right hip, which devetl oped into a. running sore. Prom this
smaller sores spread Until hi.l lower limbs were covered with ulcera.
These proved very alarming as d x feared blood- poisoning ! 1 began the
Zam..I3uk treatment, and it £ ;ally seemed to aid like magic! In a
remarkably short space of time the raw running sores were all healed.
I an,. very grateful indeed for fess buret and x strongly recommend all
mothers to keep Zam-Btlk clw, v s handy."
