THE 8EMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE. NEBRASKA. AND SAV HIS WIFE Stopped Moat Terrible Suf fering by Getting HerLydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound. Denison, Texas. "After my Httlo girl was born two years ago I began Buf fering with femalo trouble and could hardly do my work. I was very nervous but just kept drag ging on until last summer when I got wbero I could not do my work. I would have a chill every day and hot flashea and dizzy spells and my head would al most burst. I got where 1 was almost a walking skeleton and Kf a was a burden to mo until ono day my husband's Btep elstcrtold my husband if ho did not do something for mo I would not last long and told him to get your medicine. So ho got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetablo Com pound for me, and after taking tho first three doses I began to improve. I con tinued its use, and I have never had any female trouble since. I feci that I owe my life to you and your remedies. They did for Tho what doctors could not do and I will always praiso it wherever I go." Mrs. G. O. LOWERY, 419 W. Mon terey Street, Denison, Texas. ' If you are suffering from any form of femalo ills, get a bottlo of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and commence tho treatment without delay. Ordering Meals by Telephone. A enfo in I'lnlnfleld, N. J 1ms In stalled n unique system for tho con vonlenco of Its diners. Whether tho plan will eventunlly be welcomed by the dining public 1ms Ktlll to bo proved, but It has t'le merits of Ingenuity and novelty. Each table In this enterpris ing enfo Is connected directly with the kitchen and the head chef by means of a telephone. The fastidious diner, In stead of trusting the fine points of his order to a mero whiter, tells them di rectly Into tho ear of tho chef. Thus ho can have his steak cooked to tho exact turn he likes and get exactly tho proper number of drops of season ,lng n the sauces. Nothing Is calculated to jar a pretty girl like the masculine attentions be stowed upon another girl who Is homely. Going It Too Hard We nro inclined nowndays to "go It too bard;" to overwork, worry, eat and drink too much, and to neglect our rest and sleep. This fills the blood with uric acid. Tho kidneys weaken and then it's a siege of backacho, dizzy, nervous spells, rheumatic pains and distressing urinary disorders. Don't wait for worso troubles. Strengthen the kidneys. Use Doan's Kidney Pills. An Iowa Case James Pollock, Traer, la., eaya: "The loast cold seemed to eettlo on my kidneys and brought on an at tack of backache. Of ten when I stooped, sharp pains seized ma and I could hardly straighten. The kidney secretlonB passed Irre gularly, too.

The dairy husbandry department of tho South Dnkotn Stnto college haa conducted experiments to determine tho effect of alkali water on dairy cnttlc. Tho results of these experi ments, ns published In station bulle tin 147, show that tho drinking of alkali water by dairy cows did not pro duce "alkali disease," or even tho slightest Indication of It. The postmortem examination and Fine Yard and House for Cows. analyses of the vital organs of the cows used In the experiments revealed nothing abnormal. Considering the fact thnt tho strongest alkali well wn' ter.wns used it Is reasonable to con elude that the alkali disease of cows is not produced by drinking alkali wa ter. This conclusion does not include Wtt' tcr which at times collects In partly drled-up ponds. Such water Is usually very strong and cows should not be permitted to become so thirsty as to bo forced to drink it. IMPORTANT ARTICLE OF FOOD Butter Is Three-Tlmes-a-Day Necessity on Tables Cleanliness Is Great Essential. Good butter, next to good bread, It tho most Important article of food, and ns it Is a three-tlmes-a-day ne cessity on our tables, Its proper male Ing Is of great Importance. Successful butter-ranking depends most of nil on cleanliness of stables, cows, mllkcrt nnd palls, along with a clean, well ventllnted dnlry room and utensils Everyone needs fat, and butter Is the most wholesome ns well as most ngree- able way of taking it into the system. Cream absorbs whatever odor sup rounds It and then passes It on to the butter, so milk should not be kept In the kitchen where cooking Is done. nnd cspeclnlly if the men of tho funilly have the hnblt of smoking there, ns this gives It n very dlsngrcenblo taste Hutter made from well-rlponed cream has the best flavor, and to obtain thlt ripening before the cream is so old aa to become rancid, n "stnrter" of a tablespoonful or two of thick sour milk Is usually added to tho now milk when set to raise. Butter churned from perfectly sweet cream hns less flavor, but some people prefer It. It Is n mistake to churn butter nt too high u temperature in order to make it come quickly, for It contains more buttermilk, is apt to be greasy nnd pale In color. If tho cream must be kept for several days before churning, It should be In a cool place. If for any reason the churn Is not per fectly sweet after thorough washing and scalding, rlnso it well with cold lime water. KEP DAIRY UTENSILS CLEAN Steam Can Be Utilized Effectively in Washing Different Vessels Keep Covers Off. Always have some good stiff brushes that will lit the different utensils nnd keep the scams In tho tin absolutely clean. If one hns steam It may be used very effectively In sterilizing the utensils. After rinsing in scalding wa ter of sterilization with steam, place; the utensils Jn n clean, sunny place to dry. Do not wipe them with a cloth or stand them right cldo up on the racks. Tho heat Imparted by tho hot water or steam will cause them to dry quickly and by being placed bottom eldo up on tho racks very little dust and dirt can get on tho Inside of the utensils. Never put tho covers on the cans or pnils ufter washing them. Thcro arc few worse odors than a fairly clean milk cun that has been shut up until It has become musty.

II. W. Seedier. DELICIOUS FRESH PEPPER. You will probably recall that Voter Piper picked his peck of peppers, pickled and tho day was when p e p p o r a wero only used in thnt way. Tho sweet red or green pep per of our gar duns Is not ouly wholcsomo but adds another do llclously flavored vegetablo to our list of good things. A touch of chopped green pepper In a cnbbngu salad takes It out of tho ordinary into the field of uncom mon. A few strips of tho red pep per added to tho lettuco before put ting on tho French dressing makes a most delightful flavor and bit of color, which always adds value to any dish. Peppers cooked with onions Is a dish worth trying. Cut the green pep pers Into strips and add to tho boil ing onions when uenrly done. Drain and servo with cream, salt and pa prika. Peppers Stuffed With Mushrooms. Perhaps somebody may discover n more delicious dish, but ut present thl3 holds a ilsi plnce. Cut pep pers In halves and parboil them, then fill with creamed mushrooms, the fresh ones, sprinkle lightly with but tered crumbs nnd brown In tho oven. Servo these to your very best friend. Green Pepper Sandwich. Mince finely two lnrgo sweet peppers, re jecting tho pltli and seeds; fold Into this n cupful of mayonnaise, seasoned with chopped chives and parsley. Spread tho buttered bread with the mlxturo and fold in a damp towel until ready to serve. Pepper Salad. Select four largo Bweet peppers ; cut tlieni in half longi tudinally, remove tho pltli and seeds and plunge them In Ico water until tbey nro ready to use. Drain and fill a few minutes before serving time with tho following: Two cucumbers, cut In small cubes; one hard-cooked egg, and one cupful of pecan meats. On top of each after filling place a generous spoonful of mayonnaise, seasoned with minced chives nnd parsley. Who knows not pain knows not alas! What pleasure is who knows not of Tho bitter cup that will not puss, Knows not the taste of love. James Lane Allen. 8UCCE8SFUL CAKE MAKING. How rarely one meets a perfect cake and yet crJces nro usually tho first ac complishment of tho now, cook. A girl loVcSj to mako n cake long beforo she appreciates the value of a well made loaf of bread. To bo a good cake maker ono must 11 rut bo accurate, n good mixer, and a faithful watcher of tho oven. A perfect cake must hnve lino delicate texture, very tender nnd free from any suggestion of sogglness, yet moist. It must bo light ns a feather, and of good flavor, good to look at and more dell clous to the taste. With all these 'qualifications It Is certainly nn art to produco a perfect cake; It takes a deft hand with careful attention to detail. Tho famo of a good cook was not earned by making good cakes, for It Is a more desirable accomplishment to Lbo ablo to broil a steak, properly cook an egg or prepare a pleco of toast, or highest of all mako a stnndnrd loaf of brend. Some of tho main points to observe In making enko it will bo profitable to dwell upon. Havo nil of the Ingredi ents ready as well as the utensils be foro starting In, because at the critical moment something vital may be lack ing which will spoil the result. Have tho butter, If used, soft, not melted, but so soft that It quickly creams ; add tho sugar gradually, mixing It well; havo extra eggs so that If there should bo a stale ono you need not leuvo to get another. Break all eggs In a small dish ono nt a timo so that no acci dent such ns putting a bnd egg into a dish with several good ones, occurs. Mako sure that tho oven is ready by tho tlmo tho cake Is ready for it. The success of a cako depends largely upon Its baking. Ono may put caro into tho mixing and making of a cako and ruin it by careless attention to it when it Is in tho oven. Cakes that contain a largo amount of eggs, espe cially whites stiffly beaten, should bako In a slow oven. Cakes that con tnin fruit and molasses should also bako In a alow oven. Cakes that re quire slow cooking nro bcHt baked In sheet Iron or heavy tin as they aro better protected from the direct heat. 8pIco Cakes. Beat an ogg, add two thirds of a cupful of molanses, two thirds of a cupful of ougar, two-thlrdB of a cupful of soft buttor, and two nd one-half cupfuls of flour and a cupful of milk; two teaapoonfuls of baking powdor and two-thirds of a tcaspoonful of soda, ono tnblospoonful of mixed splco, a tablespoonful ot lemon Julco or vinegar; mix woll and bako in gem pans.

U Al len. WAYS WITH TOMATOE8. Tho subject of tomato d'shes lu one that cannot bo exhausted ns some new delightful combination Is always being discovered. As n salad tho tomato Is especially fitted. Tho color, tho refreshing acid, and tho lluvor all mako It most appealing (to tho appetite. Tomatoes with Cucum Mtornnto slices of tomatoes bers.- with 'cucumbers on n snlud plato and servo with mayonnaise mixed with whipped cream. Thick slices of tomnto heaped with chopped cucumber nnd onion nnd served with any highly seasoned snlud dressing makes a most tasty salad. Tomato Aspic. Put Into a saucepan two quarts ot tomatoes and let cook until soft; strain and return to tho heat, ndd ono teaspoonful of celery seed, two bay leaves, one-half tea spoonful of cloves, nnd cayenne to taste; cook llvo minutes, then pour over n box of gelatin which hns been softened In n cupful of cold water; strnln and fill n border mold nnd let stand on lco four hours. When ready to serve dip the mold quickly Into hot witter and turn tho aspic out on to n platter or chop plate, fill the center with shredded lettuce and serve with salad dressing. This mny bo molded In Individual molds and served' on heart leaves of lettuce. Dressed Tomatoes. Cut shapely, even sized tomatoes In halves; scoop out a part of cuch and mix with salad dressing, then fill the tomatoes, chill nnd servo ench on crisp lettuce with plenty of salad dressing. Italian Tomato Soup. Cook one onion In butter, but not brown; ndd two quarts of tomatoes alid a quart of water ; cook 20 minutes then strnln, ndd a dozen cloves, or ground cloves may bo added, nt tho last; thicken with two tnblcspoonfuls of Hour nnd salt and sugar to taste. Boll live min utes nnd ndd n tcaspoonful of wor ccstershlre snuco and servo nt once. Stuffed tomatoes may bo served, us ing large firm ones, nnd fill with pota to salad, cut very ilno and mixed with cooked green corn, a little onion nnd seasonings.

These aro pectin and acidic Juices. When theso nro present tho sue cess or failure de pends almost en- v vuH "mount ot sugnr hrpiI. Thr nlfl ruin of a measure of Julco to a measure of sugar has no doubt been tho causo of most of our poor Jellies. A given volume of Julco which con tnlns a certain amount of pectin can uso n definite proportion of sugar only. Currants nnd partly rlpenod grapes aro rich In pectin, and nro fairly acid so that tney usually demand equal measures, while three-fourths to ono will ho the proper proportion for rasp berries nnd blackberries. Much de-i ponds upon tho fruit Itself. When It Is necessary to add water to fruits boll tho Julco until It Is by appearance and tasto ready for tho addition of sugar. After tho winter's supply ot grnpo Julco has boon made, cover tho pulp with water and uso for Jelly or n good marmolado may bo mado from this by product Tho more thoroughly tho Julco Is clarified by skimming beforo tho sugar Is added the better from an economical stnndpolnt. Sugar Is heated bofore adding to tho Julco to save tlmo In the cooking process. By using sour apple Julco with fruits too swet, or lacking In pectin a most pnlatublo article may bo prepared. Tho best quick tost for tlmo to re move Jelly Is when tho Jelly breaks off as a portion of It Is dropped from tho spoon. Tho time-honored one of cooling n Httlo In n saucer is not n safo one, for many things may hnp pen to tho hot Jolly waiting on tho stove. Tlmo Is too precious at this stage to wnsto It in long experiments, Tho length of tlmo for boiling de pends upon tho kind of fruit Julco, nnd tho richness (or amount of wn ter It contains). aVafltaMafiLaUanaattw Too Weak.
