A famous, French physician advises
the use of grapes as a diuretic. He
prescribes the eating of ripe, juicy
grapes, five pounds a day, divided in
three lots, and eaten instead of the
ordinary meals; he says the results'
obtained from the use of ripe grapes
z& a medicine are much more satisfac
tory than, can be obtained from the
strong drugs usually prescribed for
such diseases, and further adds that
only the juice is to be swallowed, re
jecting the seeits and skins. It is
admitted by many of our most emi
nent practitioners that the majority
of the discoveries that have been of
lasting benefit to humanity have been
made by those qutside of the medical
profession. Many old home remedies,
when tried, give greater and more
satisfactory results than prescriptions
from the most learned of physicians.

Dr. Roeder, in the Inter-Ocean, tells
lis that the use of vinegar, or acetic
acid, in a sponge-bath will render the
ekin 6f the body chemically clean, and
no disease germs can fasten them
selves to the-person, even though the
suitable soil has previously existed.
If a sponge bath containing diluted
acetic acid, or common household
vinegar, be used during times of small-
IS YOUR STOMACH ON A STRIKE?
There I Nothing to Prevcat Ye Employing
Substitute to Do Its Work
There is sucha thing as forbear
ance ceasing to be a virtue even in the
case of one's stomach. There is no
question but that some stomachs will
stand a great deal more wear and
t&ar and abuse than others, but they
all have their limit antr when that
limit is reached, the stomach must be
reckoned with as sure as fate. The
best way and really the only effective
way to treat your stomach when it
rebels is to employ a substitute to do
its work. This will give the weakened
and worn-out organ an opportunity to
rest and regain its strength and
health.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets relieve
the stomach of its work by taking up
the work and doing it just as one set
or shift of workmen relieves another.
They actually digest the food in just
the same manner and just the same
time as the digestive fluids of a sound
stomach ,do. In fact, when dissolved
in the stomach, they are digestive
fluids for they contain exactly the
same constituents and elements as the
gastric juice and other digestive fluids
of the stomach. No matter what the
condition of the stomach is, their work
ifl just the same. They worn in their
own natural way without regard to
surrounding conditions.
The stomach being thus relieved by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, is restored
and renewed by Nature and the rest
of the human body does not suffer in
the least by reason of its failure to
perform its work.
A Wisconsin man says: "I suffered
the pangs of dyspepsia for 10 years;
I tried every known remedy with in
different results until I was told of
the remarkable cures of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets. I bought a box, be
gan talcing them and forgot I had a
. etomach. Three boxes cured me com
pletely. I have had no trouble what
ever for a year and have an appetite
like a harvest hand and can eat any
thing that is set before me without
fear of bad, results."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at 50c a box. The
druggist never fails to have them in
stock because the demand for them is
bo great and so pronounced that he
A cannot afford to be without them. Peo
ple who could not get them of one
druggist would go to another and
would get in the habit of buying their
other drues ther ' as -well as their

pox., etc., infection will not occur.
This antiseptic, he says, is so com
mon and cheap as to bo treated with
contempt by tho majority of practi
tioners. But it is well not to despise
tho humble means, when they bring
the desired results- simple homo rem
edies, which can safely be prepared
and used with little or no outlay of
money.

Anxious. Don't worry because you
cannot bring up your child according

The best thing to do is to use plenty
of common sense, do tho best you

Young Mother. Infant's knitted
drawers of heavy worsted can be
found in tho stores, or they can be
knitted at home. The usual price of
the "store" ones is about 60c They
may also be made of woolen stocking
legs by setting in gores, splitting a
little way down from tho top for set
ting in the gore, then sewing together.
Hattie. A writer in Good House
keeping says: "The creases can be
taken out of velvet, and tho pile
raised by drawing it across a hot iron
over which a wet cloth has been
spread. If there are pin marks over
which the pile refuses to rise, brush it
up with a stiff brush and steam it, re
peating the operation several times.
Josephine. Don't spend time wor
rying over what kind of material to
use ior dish-rags; take any clean, soft
cloth and keep it clean. If it won't
keep clean, put it in tho fire and take
another. Old muslins, or towelling
does vf.ry well. The sacks in-which
flour is bought bleach out readily, and
make excellent dish-towels. Don't
try to economize on diah-rags.

Rose Lover. Nothing can bo pret
tier than tho Clothildo Soupert rose,
and it is perfectly hardy. It does not
I'loom all the time, but at frequent
iiitervals all the season, and it simply
covers itself with blossoms when it
does bloom. I have one that, from
the ground to the end of its longest
tip, is not over fifteen inches, yet it
had twenty to thirty blossoms on it
at one time.
Sister. It is not yet too late to or
der the Polyanthus Narcissus bulbs,
as they may bo potted for house
blooming from October to January,
according to when you want them to
bloom. They do not need rich soil,
and bloom best in a cool (not cold)
room. The Double Roman, Paper
White and Golden Sacred Lily are
best for house culture; they all bloom
if the bulbs are planted In water,
firming them in the dish with pebbles,
shells or sand. They bloom but a few
weeks after potting, and are very
fragrant. Mixed bulbs can bo had
as low as 35c per dozen; can be had of

Caring for tb Baby.
The matter is so important that I
feel justified in repeating the warn
in cr to vou to take care of the baby.
These cold mornings, ana evenings,
you must not forget that baby, crawl
ing about on the floor the coldest
part of the house, needs warm cloth
ing about the little limbs, and espe
cially should attention be paid to keep
ing him clean and his clothing dry.
No matter what else is neglected, look
t- the baby's comfort, for it may make
all the difference in the world to you
between a healthy baby and a sick
one. Make thick little wash drawers,
and plenty of them, so thoy may ne
often changed. Outing flannel la a
good material (and do not get the thin
quality), but the half-wool flannels an
swer better, wash well, and are warm

PRIZE WINNING BUTTER

The reports from tho different Stato Fairs now being held

making of the very finest quality of butter, just as or fifteen
years past.
A fow of the mosfitnportant returns received within a
few days are:

The soparator does not make the butter but it has much
to do with the condition in which tho cream goes to the but
termakor, and it is in this, as in overy other feature of separa
tor practicability, that the DE LAVAL machines are so
markedly superior.
A DE LAVAL catalogue to be had for the asking will

made, sujts better, and can be had of
any paper-pattern company for ten
cents. It is almost the only style now
used for children of from six months
to two years of age. Don't forgot tho
soft little shoes and stockings, the
latter drawn well up over the little
knee and made secure to the Btraps
sown to the waist band. A good way
to use up tho "grown-up's" cast-otT
atockines is to make little drawers for
baby of tho long legs by splitting the
top part-way down, setting in gores,
and sewing the top edges to awalst
band. Do not forget that baby is
worth all the work you may put on
him, and in order to keep sweet and
healthy, he must be kept comfortable.
Rady-Aldg CIsthlnr
It is only fair to say that the wearer
of men's ready-made clothing may
dress as stylishly as the patron of an
ultra'-fashionable tailor, today, with
no fear that friend or expert may cast
a disdainful look upon him. So far
as originality of style goes, even ex
clusive tailors get good ideas from the
wholesale manufacturer. It has been
demonstrated again and again that the
man of normal figure can be just as
well fitted by a clothier as by a good
tailors. A considerable saving In
price in favor of the former is no
small consideration to most men. This
saving often enables a prudent buyer
to secure two suits at the usual cost
of one made by a tailor thus in
creasing his wardrobe with no greater
than his accustomed outlay. Besides,
there is the advantage of frequent
change, which always results in longer
wear, and- a fresher appearance for
garments which get occasional rest in
place of steady use. Thero are few
men, be they ever so fastidious, who
cannot be satisfactorily and fashion
ably attired today and yet select each
piece of their apparel from the tables
and shelves of a "ready-to-wear" out
fitter. Household Ledger.

"The way I can beef for future use
Is to boil it and salt It as if for imme-j

as I can get into a half-gallon Mason's
fruit Jar, pack it in the Jars hot, and
pour in enough of tho hot liquor in
which it was boiled to nearly fill th
jar, then run a knife blado down in

out that I can, then finish filling with
the hot liquor and seal tightly, and
it keeps perfectly. When I want to

into a bowl, put a little butter on tho
meat, and when thoroughly heated
through, take up on a hot platter,
pour the liquor back into the frying

adding more water if needed. If
roast meat Is liked better, have plenty
of water in the roasting pan, and
when the meat is done, slice It and
pack in the jars, filling and sealing
as for tho boiled meat.
"I also put all the soup bones and
the bones I cut the meat from, and all

several hours, seasoning with salt;
