Get Well
' Why do you stay sick while an of

Why not try to get well?
I will mail you an ordergood at
any drug store for six bottles Dr.
Shoop's Restorative. You may take
It a month on trial. If it succeeds,
the cost is ?5.50. If it fails, I will pay
the druggist myself and your mere
word shall decide it
If my way succeeds, think what it
means to be" well. If I fail, simply
Bay so, and the treatment is free.
Remember two things. First, I
know what this remedy will do, and
the pffer proves jny faith in it. Sec
ond, it is apparent that I usually suc
ceed, else the offer would ruin me.
For your own sake, let me convince
you. '
My success pomes from strength
ening the inside nerves, which alone
.- operate the vital organs. I have
spent my life in learning how to do
.it A weak organ means weak nerve
' power. It is like a weak engine that
needs more steam. To doctpr the or
.gan is useless; what it needs is power
to act My Restorative alone brings
s hack that power, and in most of these
diseases no other way can cure.
My book will tell you why.

until the berries are clear, almost
transparent, and thoroughly teoft. ' but
whole. Now lift each berry carefully
with a silver fork, and pack in tum
blers or small jars. Boil the syrup

thickens, cool and pour It over the
fruit and paste writing paper over
tops of the jars.
Canning With Heat Put equal
Quantities of berries and sugar into
an earthen bowl and Jet them stand
over night, without adding any wa
ter; in the morning, drain off the
juice and put it on the fire to boil
in a porcelain kettle. When it is as
. thick as syrup, put the berries into
it andboil five minutes. Now fill into
fruit jars, full, and seal at once.
Cooked in this way they are finely
flavored. ?
Canning With Heat Fill the jars
with fresh, whole strawberries,' sprin
kle with sugar in the proportion of
, half pound sugar to one pound 'berries
(some prefer to omit the sugar) lay
covers on lightly, stand in a wash-
boiler filled with water to within' an
inch of tops of cans (water must not
' he more than milk-warm when the
cans are placed in t). Wheft it has
boiled fifteen minutes, , draw to back
o& stove, let steam pass off, roll the
hand in a towel, lift out ca"ns and
place on a table. -If the berries are
( well covered, with their own juice,
. take a tablespoon and fill the first
- can to the top with berries from the
. second, running ft oyer with juicd,
wipe the neck dry, screw the top
Ndown tightly, and, turn bottom-side
up on the table; fill another with te
- - remnant left of the seqond, run juice

'-possible In moving them. If any leak
"Occurs, while standing qtv the tops, at-,
tend to it at once,- by hammerine

gently with the handle of a table
knife, or something suitable. Put
away in acool, dark place.

Bring the glass fruit jars Into the
kitchen before preparing the fruit,
that they may become Of the same
temperature as the room. When tho
fruit is ready for the cans, place on
the back of the stove a pan contain
ing water comfortably warm to the
hand; Immerse the cans in this thor
oughly until warmed through, empty
water out of cans and fill with fruit
while the cans are hot; place the rub
ber on tho cans before filling; after
filling, screw on the tops tightly and
turn bottom end up, to see If any
juice escapes; if there is any leak,
find out the trouble and remedy it
When putting the cooked fruit into
the glass jari?, place a metal rod in
the jar first; have the rod long
enough so you can take hold of it
to remove it when the jar. is full. Tho
long handle of a cook spoon will an
swer. This will keep tho jar from
breaking.
For lessening the labor of fruit can
ning time, place a piece of heavy tin,
full of holes like a bread steamer,
in the bottom of the wash-boiler;
across the bottom of this perforatol
tin have soldered pieces of galvanized
fence wire, about four inches apart,
and a wire rim around the edge. Lay
the tin in tho boiler wire side down,
fill jars with raw fruit, pour on tho
cold syrup or cold water, set tho canE
on the piece of tin, fill the boiler up
almost to the top 'of cans with cold
water, cover boiler and let boil until
thoroughly done. When done. re

'cans with no unnecessary delay, eith
er with fruit as above, or with boil
ing syrup, and seal. Pour melted
resin' on a strip of cloth' trad bind,

Peas, beans, corn and tomatoes are
as good as when fresh picked, If
canned this way. Some like to salt
and pepper their vegetables as for the
table, when canning.
For Canning Cora.
Have the 'corn as fresh as possible
and the grains well filled in the milk
stage. Cut from the cob and pack In
jars, or tin cans, as tightly as possi
ble, mashing the corn down until the
milk covers it. Success lies in get
ting it packed tight in the can. Put
the rubber and top on, and fasten up
tight. Put In a boiler, with water
enough to cover it, and boil three
hours; let it cool in the water before
taking it out, then screw up tighter,
if possible. Even if the corn looks
dry, do not open tho cans. Corn will
keep better in tin cans than in glass,
but if glass is used, wrap in brown
wrapping paper and put in a cool,
dry, dark cellar.
(' Petticoats. 1
In white petticoats, the fullness of
tho back is kept in place and flat by
means of tucks. Petticoats of alpaca,
with ruffles finished with clusters of
pintucks, are useful for traveling and
general street wear; and those of
wash silk, trimmed with ruffles and
white blind embroidery, are most
dainty. For those who are inclined

being very flat and smooth-fitting.
The petticpat, however, must be
gored; the old-fashioned gathered
style of petticoat is quite obsolete.
For a very best petticoat, one of taf
feta of a good quality is probably the
most desirable. It does not pay to
buy a cheap grade of taffeta; when ex
pense must be considered, it is far
better to jhvest in one of soft silk, or
of wash cotton. White muslin petti
coats are pretty and serviceable when

Select the entire rib side of a young
lamb from tho shoulder to tho loin;
if one side is not1 enough, tako both
sides; have tho ribs split apart down
to tho meat part and trim them as for
French chops, being careful to keop
tho meat part well joined together.
Stand tho braco of chops up on tho
meat end; join tho two ends together
with skewers, with the ribs standing
up like a crown. Put It In a dripping
pan and let it roast quickly, season
ing with popper "and salt; put some
small Burmuda potatoes next them in
the ovon In a pan with butter enough
to brown them nicely. When the
lamb is done, place it in the center of
a hot platter and fill the hollow in
side tho crown with potatoes, heaping
them up nicely; decorate tho platter
with sprigs of mint and slices of
lemon, and servo the crown roast,
slipping a ring of fringed gilt paper
over the end of each bone.
Little Helps.
Persons troubled with iervousness
or insomnia may find beneficial re
sults from bathing in water in which
a, large tablespoonful of borax has
been dissolved. Tho effect is invig
orating and restful.
To clean black lace, wipe off all dust
carefully with a cambric handker
chief; pin the lace on a clean board,
inserting a pin in each projecting
point; spot it all over with table
beer, and do not remove the pins un
til it Is perfectly dry.
When tho burners of coal oil lamps
become clogged boil them a few min
utes in water strong with washing
soda. It this does not remove all in
crustations, polish with sapollo; rinse
well, and they will serve as good as
now.

To remove dark stains from silver
ware, dip a linen rag in sulphuric acid
.and- rub until tho stain disappears;
then brighten the article with finely
powdered and sifted whiting moistened
with spirits of wine. When the whit
ing has dried, wipe off with an old
silk handkerchief, and polish with
soft buckskin.
Scalded milk is not boiled milk.
For an invalid, put a quart of fresh
milk into a double toiler, andlpfr heat
until the scum of coajgtilated albumin
floats on the surface. It is then
scalded. In boiling milk in a single
vessel, the casein sinks to" the bot
tom and burns, giing it an unpleas
ant taste.
Gum arable added to starch is very
good for stiffening fine muslins, which
should never be stiffer than new
goods, should be dried in the shade
and ironed on the wrong side. Deli
cate fabrics should not be rubbed, but
should be squeezed through the hands,
shaken, and,, pinned to some larger
article to dry. Wash all. colored goods
quickly, if colors aie doubtful, in wa
ter in which a handful of salt has
been thrown; wash each article alone,
as the colors may "run," and spoil the
others; dry in the shade and iron as
soon as possible, on the wrong side.
Delicate pinks and greens may go
through the wash all right, yet bo
ruined by the heat of the iron. Great
care must be taken 'to Iron delicate
colors and fabrics that the 'Irons be
not too hot Pull muslin and lace out
