Across the plains to mountains vast
This Is the train thats never late
And keeps Its service up to date
This la tho train that runs out West

This is the train that runs to tho laud
Of mountains hlsh and canons grand
This Is a true hotel en wheels
It serves to you the best of meals
This Is the train with lowest rate

And Im here to tell you sir

Game and things from everywhere
Salads deserts coffee cake
Wow It makes my stomach ache
And the rates Ill swear to you
Same as cutting naught In iwo
Shame to take such service cheap
Ought to make us pay a heap
Guess Ive said about enough
Every word Is straight no guff

A Dentists Advice
Toledo Ohio Jan 25th Mr Harry
L Lewis Dentist C07 Sumit street
this city says I certainly advise
anyone no matter how severe they
may have Kidney Trouble to take
Dodds Kidney Pills
I was troubled with Kidney Dis
ease for several years and Dodds Kid
ney Pills cured me I had used
many so called remedies without any
benefit Four months ago I was flat
on my back with this painful trouble
and must say that I almost gave up
hones of ever getting any better
Through a friends advice I purchased
six boxes of Dodds Kidney Pills
At first I could see but little bene
fit but after two weeks I could see
an improvement I had been getting
up several times at night and pcins
in my back were very severe When
I had taken six boxes I felt better
than I had for years The pain had
all gone and I didnt have to get up
during the night at all I continued
the treatment until I had used several
more boxes and row r am glad to
say that I am completely cured
A cold is one of the very few ail
ments the modern physician will un
dertake to cure without a surgical op
eration

well as one in the waist that gives
smooth fit over the hips while allow
ing fullness below The original is
made of sapphire blue henrietta with
the yokes sleeve caps and cuffs made

contrasting material o made of bands
of velvet or silk ribbon in place of the
folded silk
The waist is made over a body lin
ing on which the lull front and backs
and the deep pointed yoke are arrang
ed The sleeves are the full ones of
fashion with caps that combine with
the yoke to give the needed broad
effect The skirt is straight gathered
and joined to the yoke which in turn
is joined to the waist
The quantity of material required
for the medium size 12 years is
5 yards 21 inches wide 5 yards 27
inches wide or 3 yards 41 inches
wide with 20 yards of banding to

The pattern 4618 is cut in sizes for
girls of 8 10 12 and 14 years of
age
Frozen Meat When using frozen
meat the great point is to slowly and
thoroughly thaw it before cooking
Mint Sauce When chopping mint
for mint sauce add a little sugar and
you will be able to chop it far more
easily
Brushes The backs of brushes of
silver or nickel can be kept bright by
rubbing with a flannel dipped in am
monia
Fruit Tarts Put the sugar used
for sweetening fruit tarts in the mid
dle of the fruit not on the top or it
will sodden the pastry
Stale Loaves Wrap stale loaves in
a cloth Dip into hot water for half a
minute take off the cloth and bake
for a quarter of an hour in a steady
oven
In the Wash The linen turns yel
low after washing because it is not
rinsed enough The soap left in at the
laundry turns the garments yellow in
wear
How to Cook Liver
Here is an appetizing way to have
liver for a dinner that may be new to
Eertha -waists of all sorts are in
vogue but none other has the pe
culiar charm of the handkerchief sort
the grace of which is apparent at a
glance This one is made of violet
crepe de Chine with yoke and cuffs
of chiffon velvet and trimming of ecru
lace but both yoke and cults can be
omitted and the waist made low with
elbow sleeves when desired The
pointed outline of the yoke and the

some Cook or fry about three slices
of fresh pork to a pound of liver have
fried onions with it and also a gravy
Improves it Cut nil the meat up in
quite small pieces put it altogether In
a deep dish with the onions and gravy
poured over Dont buy the red liver
it is not near as good as the yellow
try it and you will see and dont
cook the liver the least bit too much
as frequently happens it will be so
different when just cooked through
Cleaning Fancy Collars
Net and lace collars that there is
danger of pulling out of shape during
the washing process should be care
fully folded and sewed lightly togeth
er before being put into the suds
Never rub things of this kind Make
a suds with soap jelly and warm
water Lay the folded collars in this
and leave for twenty minutes or half
an hour
Then squeeze in your hand and
souse up and down in suds till clean
Repeat the process in another clean
lot of suds if there is any doubt of
the cleanliness and finally rinse in
warm water and squeeze as dry as
jou can If ironed at once on a well
covered board wrong side up first
under a cloth and then without no
starch will be needed
Painted Pins in Fashion Again
Miniature painted pins are again in
fashion but this time they are of
copper instead of china
They are mounted in gunmetal all
bhapes and sizes and are prettier
than any miniature pin shown in
many years They are used for belts
brooches hat pins and coin cases
The coin cases have the appear
ance of being watches and the pic
tures are usually surrounded by tiny
rhinestones On opening the case by
the spring just as a watch would
open and touching an interior spring
the coin emerges This is a clever
arrangement and there is no danger
of losing the coins
Tucked Blouse
Blouse or shirt waists made with
tucks arranged in groups are among
the designs shown for the advance
season and are admirable for the new
cotton and linen
wais tings of spring
as well as for the
wool ones of im
mediate wear This
one is made of mer
cerized cotton
showing lines of
blue on white and
is unlined but can
be used either with
or without the fit
ted lining and is
available for all
materials in vogue

An Underskirt
Any girl who has an old party
frock of taffeta can make a very
pretty underskirt to wear with her
house and evening gowns
For the ruffle get wash net or point
desprit and across the bottom place
bias bands of silk Sew the ruffle to
the skirt with another band and you
have a very dainty affair
Floral Chains in Place of Beads
Floral chains are taking the place
of the bead ones which have been so
popular until recently These floral
fancies are made of ribbon or silk and
are worn chain fashion Violets bou
ton rpses and are the
favorites
Knife cleaning will be more easily
acccmplished if 3ou mix a little car-
At the center
uonate or soua wiui tne uath brick on
the knife board
When making cakes begin by warm
ing the basin This will cause the in
gredients to mix more readily and the
result will be a lighter cake
If a cork seems too big for the neck
of a bottle soak it for three or four
minutes in boiling water and then try
it again It will probably go in then
quite easily
Wash childrens slates occasionally
with water in which washing soda is
solved This will take off the greasi
ness which makes writing on the slate
a difficulty
jteTTOHiHQS
Fur is the ultra modish trimming
Sheer light evening gowns are set
off with ermine fur
Squirrel and moleskin are used on
darker gowns
Jet fringes are favored for sheer
black or white frocks
On evening gowns green velvet
leaves make an attractive decoration
Embroideries in rich oriental color
ings flecked with gold and silver bear
the stamp of excellent style
Euttons of all sizes are used cut
steel being most costly and brilliant
Enameled buttons are employed to
carry out the color scheme on a frock
