Apple Bnttcr Liiko Grandmothers
The first tiling to do is to secure sonic
good sweet cider apple cider and boil
it half away This should be done the
day before you expect to begin with
the apples I use a porcelain lined ket
tle that holds five gallons Boil it half
away and let it remain in the kettle
over night on the back of the stove
Xhe advantage of this is it is warm and
will begin cooking earlier As soon as
jossible the next morning I begin and
prepare the apples as for sauce and put
into the eider nil it will hold Fill the
pot full to the top and as itrcooks soft
keep putting in more apples to keep the
kettle full until it is quite thick and
let cook slowly and stir very often as
It will burn very readily if it is over too
hot a fire It needs to be cooked a long
time I never finish mine in one day
simply move it back on the stove where
ifl5 it will not cook but keep
T night When it is done it w
YJ
X
warm over
ill be cooked
away considerably and thick and dark
like a jam or marmalade Do not
sweeten until nearly done as it burns
more quickly and by cooking away as
it does it might be too sweet Use
white sugar and sweeten to taste I
use no spices as I consider it spoils the
flavor of the cider and apples If they
are used they should be of the very
best and carefully added This recipe
keeps perfectly without being put up
air tight I put it in stone jars and tie
a cloth over it merely to keep out dust

From the ate City Kpokuh Ioica
A reporter called on Captain A H
EvanH coal dealer and member of the
firm of Cliisholui Evans Co corner
Main and Water streets Keokuk la
and knows for himself the statements
made here are true
At the breaking out of flip Civil War
said Captain Evans I enlisted in the
army serving continuously from 1801 to
3SG5 in the Ninth New Jersey Regiment
of Infantry
You are identified with the Grand
Army of the Republic are you not Cap

Your health appears to be such that it
allows you to fulfill your duties and enjoy
life better than most men of your age
Yes my health was never better than
it is now and I owe it largely to a medi
cine that is the medical marvel of the
age
What is that Captain
J will tell you Last winter my usual
good health began to fail me I suffered
from dull feelings in my head an inclina
tion to shirk work and a general feeling
of lassitude One day my wife was read
ing in a newspaper of a case similar to
my own where a gentleman had been
benefited by the use of Dr Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and prevailed
upon me to try them 1 did so purehas
inpa box at McGrath Bros 500 Main
street and began taking them according
to directions
I began taking the Pink Pills in April
and they cured me and without the aid
of a doctor or other medicine whatever
Do other members of your family use
the pills
My wife has taken them and pro
nounces them the best regulator for the
system she ever tried
Would you hesitate to recommend the
pills to others
No indeed I can heartily recommend
them to all who are suffering as I did
for I know they will beuefit them You
can say that I am always ready and
willing to give information about Dr
Williams Pink Pills to all who will call
on me
Dr Williams Pink Tills contain in a
condensed form all the elements neces
sary to give new life and richness to the
blood and restore shattered nerves
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers
or will be sent postpaid on receipt of
price 50 cents a box or six boxes for

THE DOCTOR OF LONG AGO
When People Were Bled and Filled
with Medicine
The doctor a hundred years ago and
less was a more important personage
than he is to day Indeed he was sec
ond only to the minister and the judge
His genial face his engaging manners
the sincerity with which he inquired
after the carpenters daughter and the
interest he took in the family of the
poorest laborer made him a favorite
for miles around Ho knew the names
and personal history of the occupants
olevery house he passed The farmers
lads pulled off their hats to him and the
girls dropped courtesies as he passed
Sunshine or rain daylight and dark
ness were alike to him He would ride
ten miles in the darkest night over the
worst roads in a pelting storm to ad
minister a dose of calomel to an old
woman or attend a child in a fit
The drugs were stowed away on the
shelves of the village store among
heaps of shoes Rohan hats packages
of seeds and flitches of bacon
Tho physician was compelled to com
pound his own drugs make his own
tinctures and put up his own prescrip
tions His saddle bag was the only
drug store within forty miles Each
spring the blood must be purified the
kidneys excited and the damsel who
fainted profusely bled Large doses of
senna and manna and rhubarb and
molasses were taken daily It is safe
to say that more medicine was taken
every year by the well than is now tak
en by the sick in the same time
Water was denied the patient tor
mented wltti fever In its stead was
gives a small qaantity of clam juice
Mercury was taken until the lips turn
ed blue and the gums fell away from
the teeth
An Easy Choice
You know that Michigan is one of
the few States in the Union where cap
ital punishment is forbidden by law
said Frank H Hosford secretary ol
the Democratic campaign committee
and the people are very tenacious of
the good name of the State in that re
spect and although some persons in
every Logislatnre fer many years have
undertaken to restore the death pen
airy the proposition baa always been
defeated But the question TJobs up
serenely with every Legislature there
is any amount of oratory and long con
tests in each house of ihe Legislature
Some years ago an amusing thing
happened while the debate on this bill
was pending in the house at Lansing
Three able and loud lunged representa
tives who sat near each other on the
right side of the huse made succes
sively Jng ami vigorous speeches on
the question all in favor of the hanging
bill When he last one took his seat a
young man on the extreme left of the
house roe quickly and said Mr
Speaker I rise to a question of privi
lege The gentleman will state his
question of privilege sard the speak
er Mr Speaker continued the young
man I want to inquire of our friends
of the other side of the house whieh
they think is preferable to be hanged
or talked to death This statement
was greeted with great applause
promptly checked however and turn
ed against its author by a big voiced
member who rose right back of the
throe offenders and called out in a
boiler factory voice Well if youre go
ing to talk we prefer to be hanged -Chicago

In a Pcclc ol Trouble
A dentist of Chelsea Mass the othei
day was In a peck of trouble for a few
minutes When it was all over though
the incident seemed laughable enough
The explosion of a vulcanizer In his
laboratory tipped over an oil stove and
caused that to blow up aleo Burning
oil ran down into a two gallon can
filled with kercsene This the dentist
seized and started for the bathroom
His wife was eo excited that she fell
into the bathtub which was full
water The doctor placed the blazing
can on the lioor pulled his wife out of
the tub took up the can again and
ran with it back to the laboratory
where it exploded with terrific force
The fire department had been sum
moned When the firemen arrived the
dentist showed them where the fire
was Feeling faint he started to go
down stairs to get some outer air The
stairs were full of firemen The den
tist made a flying leap over their
heads and when he picked himself up
it was with a sprained ankle The fire
was put out and the dentist is now
laid up for repairs
