"WHACKS"
An WHat They Mean
When Old Mother Nature gives you
a "whack" remember "there's a rea
son" so try and say "thanit you" then
sot about finding what you have done
to demand the rebuke, and try and get
back into lino, for that's the happy
place after all. Curious how many
highly organized people fall to appre
ciate and heed the first little, gentle
"whacks" of the good old Dame, but
go right along with the habit whatever
it may be that causes her disapproval.
Whiskey, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea or other
unnatural treatment of the body, until
serious illness sets in or some chronic
disease. S'omo people seem to get on
very well with those things for avhllo,
and Mother Nature apparently cares
but littlo what they do. Perhaps she
has no particular plans for them and
thinks it littlo use to waste time in
their training. There are people, how
ever, who seem to be selected by Na
ture to "do things." The old Mother
expects them to carry out some depart
ment of her great work. A portion of
these selected ones oft and again seek
to stimulate and then deaden the tool
(the body) by some one or more of the
drugs Whiskey, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea,
Morphine, etc. You know all of. these
throw down the same class of alkaloids
in Chemical analysis. They stimulate
and then depress. They take from man
or woman the power to do his or her
best work.
After these people have drugged
for a time, they get a hint, or mild
"whack" to remind them that they
have work to do, a mission to perform,
and should bo about the business, but
are loafing along the wayside and be
come unfitted for the fame and fortune
that waits for th'em if they but stick
to the course and keep the body clear
of obstructions so Jt can carry out the
behests of the mind. 'Sickness is a call
to "come up higher." These hints come
In various forms It may be stomach
trouble or bowels, heart, eyes, kidneys
or -general nervous prostration. You
may depend upon it when a "whack"
comes it's a warning to quit some
abuse and do the right and fair thing
with the body. Perhaps it is coffee
drinking that offends. That Is one of
the greatest causes of human disorder
among Americans.
Now then if Mother Nature Is
gentle with you and only gives
light, little "whacks" at first to
attract attention, don't abuse her con
sideration, or she will soon hit you
harder, SURE. And you may also be
sure she will hit you very, very hard, if
you Insist on following the way you
have been going. It seems hard work
to give up a habit, and we try all sorts
of plans to charge our ill feelings to
some other cause than the real one.
Coffee drinkers when ill will at
tribute the trouble to bad food, ma
laria, overwork and what not, but they
keep on being sick and gradually get
ting worse until they are finally forced
to quit entirely, even the "only one
cup a day." Then they begin to get
better, and unless they have gone long
enough to set up some fixed organic
disease, they generally get entirely well.
It is easy to quit 'coffee at once and
T,a11 ' hy havinS well made Postum,
with its rich, deep, seal brown color
which comes to the beautiful golden
brown when good cream is added, and
the crisp Snap of good, mild Java is
there If the Postum has been boiled
Jong enough to brlngrit out. It pays to
be well and happy for good olcLMother
Nature then sends us her blessings of
inany and various kinds and helps us
to gain fame and fortune. Strip off the
handicaps, leave not the deadening
habits, heed Mother Nature's hints,
quit boirig a loser and become a win
ner. ShejjtfH.help you sure if you cut

A. J. Recipe for malting vinegar of
cider given in another column.
Anna M. Set your dishes of vege
tables in a pan of hot water, and
they will not dry out.
Housewife Two recipes aro givon
for mincemeats In another column.
Mincemeats should bo mado a week
or more before it Is to bo used, In or
der to have the flavors well blended.
Beginner Unless the recipe states to
the contrary, the Hour, sugar, spices
and soda should be sifted before
measuring. A teaspoonful of unsifted
flour will usually make, twice as much
in quantity after it is .sifted, and
many fail of having success with
recipes because of this.
Hostess For a homo dinner, tho
platter containing the turkoy should
bo placed on a napkin in front of the
carver. TLo Individual plates should
bo a little to his left; as tho portion
is served, the plates should bo passed,
age taking precedence, unless there is
a guest, when ho should be served
first. A roast should bo Berved hot.
Agnes B. Thanksgiving would
hardly be recognized as such without
either pumpkin or mince pie, or both,
and your mincemeat should bo pre
pared at least a week before tho pies
are to be made. Cranberries, In some
form, are also a Thanksgiving dish.
Let the gelatin stand In cold water
half an hour, then pour boiling water
over it. A given amount of liquid
requires less gelatin in winter than in
summer.
Hattie For rolled sandwiches cut
bread that -a about a day old into
slices lengthwise of the loaf, and very
thin; have your meat chopped fine,
or beaten to a pulp; rub the yolks of
three hard-boiled eggs to a paste with
three tablespoonfuls of melted but
ter, a little mustard, and lemon juice,
if liked, season with salt and pepper,
mix well with the meat, spread on the
thinly-sliced broad and roll as you
would jelly cake. . Toothpicks may bo
used as skewers.
Mrs. S. J. Meats and raw vegeta
bles should be run through a chopper
if intended for soup; many people
cook both meat and vegetables until
stewed to pieces, then press through
a fruit or vegetable press, or even a
flour sieve, which makes tho soup per
fectly smooth and free from lumps.
Put Into the soup kettle every scrap
of meat, vegetables or cereals left
from other meals, being careful that
nothing Is In the least Boured or
spoiled.
Fannie L. The currants should bo
rubbed .with the hands until all tho
stems are separated, then put Into a
colander and water poured over them
until all stems, gravel stones and
sand are washed off, then scald, drain,
spread on pie tins and stand in a
cool oven with door, open until dry.
Bessie B. Henna is the name of u
small shruD which is found In the
East Indies, and on the Mediterrane
an coasts, and tho leaves of which
are used for coloring the finger nails
and other parts of the hands and feet
an orange-red color, which is sup
posed to add to the beauty of tho
Egyptian women and Mohammedan
women of India. For bleaching blonde
hair use a teaspoonful of salts of tar
tar to a basin of warm water, washing
the hair well in this and rinse In clear
water to which a pinch of borax has
been added. Or wet the roots of tho
hair dally with a solution of a tea
spoonful of bicarbonate of soda to a
pin of water, using continuously.
S'ome shades of brown.
Subscriber Walnut dye is a very
unsatisfactory thing. The roots of
your hair would be continually show
ing up the natural color. Better to
use the; sage tea treatment recom
mended a few weeks ago. This will not
only darken the hair, but will strength
enfit as! well. 'Tho recipe 'was given
very recently.
