THE NORTH PLATTE SEMLWEEKLY TRIBUNE. ir -K r CHILDREN LOVE SIPJF FIGS It t$ cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a sick child. LooR back nt your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother Insisted on castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children It's different. Mothers who cling to tho old form of physic simply don't reallzo what thoy do. Tho children's revolt Is well-founded. Their tender Httlo "insldcs" aro Injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, glvo only deli cious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action Is positive, but gentle. Millions, of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxatlvo" handy; thoy know children love to tako It; that it never fails to clean tho llvor and bowels nnd sweet en tho stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor row. Ask at tho store for a GO-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv. HENPECK HAS LITTLE JOKE For Once He Turned tho Tables on Hie Wife, and Surely Had a Right to Laugh.

This morning when I went into the dlnlug room at breakfast time thero wa3 no meal visible. I went into my wife's room and thero sho was still asleep. So unlike Bertha, you know. I called her: 'Say, Bertha, it's eight o'clock; I want my breakfast.' Not a move ment. I shouted; shook tho bed; brought In the frying pan nnd beat tho revclllo upon It All to no purpose. What was I to do? Timo was pass ing and I didn't feel Inclined to go to work hungry. Get my own break fast? Not on your life. What am I married for? Then a bright thought struck me. I took off my shoes, crept us qulo'.ly as I could along tho pas Bage; a board creaked; In a moment Bertha was awake. "'James, whero have you been?' "And you should have seen her when sho realized tho truth. Ha! ha!" At the Telephone. "Was that your sister calling you up?" "No; it was my wife calling mo down." Their Use.

SUMMER PRESERVES. The thrifty housewife fools that nho has not a well otockod fruit closet unless sho has Bovonfl klnd3 of preserves. Preserved Peaches. This Is an old Vlrglnln recipe for preserved peaches. Pare perfect fruit nnd remove tho stones, dropping tho peaches into cold wato. to keep them from discoloring. When ready, drain carefully nnd for" every fivo pounds of fruit, add four pounds of sugar, put n third of tho amount of sugar In a preserving hot tlo with just enough water to keop from burning. When well disolvod put In a layer of peaches and sprinkle over It a generous luyer of sugar, con tinuo the process until all the sugar and fruit are used, heat slowly and simmer unil the fruit is transparent, skimming occasionally during tho pro cess. Skim the penchos out with a skimmer nnd lay them in a largo Hat dish, taking caso not to crowd them. Put them In tho sun to become firm. In the meantime boil the sirup until it is thick and clenr, carefully remov ing all tho scum. Return tho peaches to the sirup just long enough to heat through,' then pack in largo mouthed Jars. Put in a layer of fruit, then a layer of sirup until over Howlng. Seal air tight. If tho llavor of tho. pits is liked- crack a few of tho ker nels, boll in a llttlo water, then add them to the Jars. Preserved Pears. For preserving choose pears of fine flavor, but not over sweet. Peel them, leaving the stems on, dropping each in cold water after it is peeled. When enough are ready drain them, weigh and for every pound or fruit allow three quarters of a pound of granulated sugar. Par boil tho fruit In water to cover, take out and lay on a dish to cool. Put the BUgar Into the kettle in the water In which tho pears wore parboiled. When tho sugar 1b dissolved, drop In tho fruit and cook slowly until the fruit is transparent. Allow a lemon to every ten pounds of fruit, cut In very thin slices. Put the pears In ars, cook down tho sirup and pour over them. Ripe Tomato Preserves. Put tho peeled tomatoes in a bowl with equal weights of sugar and let stand over night, then preserve as for peaches, adding a little ginger, cinnamon and lemon Juice to flavor. Emerson said of Lincoln, "His heart was as great as the world, but thero was no room In It to hold the memory of a wrong." THE DELICIOUS PEACH. A most appetizing pie may bo niailb by baking a rich crust, and when cold, 1111 it with sliced peaches sweentened nnd flavored and mixed with well sweetened whipped cream. Heap a little cream on top and sprlnklo with finely chopped pistachio nuts, or with blanched' and shredded almonds. A peach pudding or bird's nest pud ding as it is called when apples are used Is a simple one, yet very good. Sllco the peaches in a deep pie plate and pour over a rich biscuit batter, bako and turn upside down, sweeten and flavor, servo with whipped cream. Rice With Peaches. Cook two cups of rice until well done, nddlng milk the last of the cooking, season with butter, salt and sweeten with sugar, then pour Into a hollow mold. When ready to serve, unniold nnd All tho center with sweetened peaches, and serve with whipped cream and sugar. Japanese Rice and Peaches. Put a layer of cold rice cuBtard In a drsh, then a layer of sliced peaches, an other layer of rico and a layer of peaches, set away to chill, and just be fore serving, heap sweetened whipped cream which has been floored with almond over tho top. Peach Pudding. Pour a cupful of hot milk over a cupful of dry bread crumbs and let stand five minutes, add a half cup of sugar, the well beaten yolks of threo eggs and tho white of ono beaten stiff.

When you hnvo ngreahlo neighbors, why not do as two enterprising house keepers do, who hnvo n small family. Each takes turns linking iho cako for tho two famillos and each has half. In this wny they always have fresh, cako and tho work is divided. A good protector from tho sun when, reading, sowing or weeding in the. garden Is an umbrelln tied to a pitch fork handle. Tho fork will hold If stuck Into the ground anywhoro ono wlshos to bo. Dampen .two choose cloth dustors with kerosene nnd shut them into u tight covored pall, In a day or two they will bo evenly dampenod and, may bo used to tako up dust. When, not In uso keep them In tho pall. When putting corn meal mush away pour into pound baking cans well greased, then when Bliclng for frying the Bllces will all be of uniform size. A large, rich dripping pan eot on top of the gas stovo over a small burner will hold sovornl small saucepans and so cook several things nt tho snmo time. Food may bo kept hot In tho same way. Water In tho pan will koep tho food from scorching. When baking tomatoes or peppers put them In mullln pans and they will keop their shape nicely. To clean n laco yoke, lay tho yoko on a Turkish towel nnd rub gently with soap and water, changing tho towel when It becomes soiled. Tho soil will go Into tho towel. Rinse and wlpo dry by patting with a clean dry cloth. When putting a hem Into curtains try this method: Hang them on tho rods and draw down tho shade to mark the length. Tho curtain may then be basted and will hang evom A llttlo dish of soda whero It may bo used In tho bathroom Is a valuable asset. Uso it to whiten the toeth and. sweeten the brenth. A spoonful in tho water when ono bathes the face will remove tho soil of dust as if by magic, ------ ( A pinch of soda In a glass of water will relieve n sick stomach and It often relieves Indigestion. When tho feet aro tired a foot bath with a generous spoonful of soda will bo a wonderful relief. A Httlo toll and n. little rest. And u little more earned than spent, Is suro to bring to an honest breast A blessing of glad content. And io, though skies may frown or smile, Bo diligent day by day; Rewards will greet you after n. while, If you Just keep working away. COLD DESSERTS. A most delicious frozen dish which will bo now to many is the following: Cook together u cup of sour cream and a cup of sugar until It reaches the soft ball stago when tried in water, flavor and add a cup of hickory nut meats and turn it into a quart of rich milk, to which has been added a cup of sugar. Freeze as usual. This is a most delicious dish and worth trying. Cherry Mousse. To a pint of double cream, add threo tablespoon fuls of powedered sugar, a cup of cherry juice and a drop or two of al mond extract. Chill and whip until U stlif. Turn Into a mould, cover close ly and pack in ico and salt. Serve In glasses. Currant Nectar. To a quart of water add two cupfuls of tart currant jelly.

Over a half box of gelatine pour a half cup of cold cider and soak for half an hour, then add to tho hot elder with a half pint of sugar, sot In cold water and stir until it begins to thicken, then turn Into a border mold tipping tho mold so that tho jolly will form a lining over It. Now fill with chopped and cooked quinces and ap ples filling In with Jelly. Set on Ico until firm, Invert on a cold dish and fill the center wilh whipped cream decorated with browned almonds.

Adv. Syc Alone Detects Icebergs. Thero at present Is no nhsoluto method of detecting icebergs, oxcopt by tho human cyo, in tho opinion of Captains C. E. Johnson ant A. S. Gam ble of tho cutters Soneca and Miami, which patroled tho routo of tho trans atlantic linotu from April to May. Captain Johnuton refuted tho preva lent theory that a sudden drop in tern poraturo meant tho proximity of Ico bcrgs. Llttlo or no chnngo In tempera turo was noticeable, ho said. Nor can Icebergs, as gonerally supposed, bo de tected with any certainty by an echo from a ship's whistlo or bolls, as, ac cording to Captnln Johnston, a per pendicular berg may give an echo from some directions, but a slanting fnco re flects tho sound.
