flrot privilego of marrying the
widow, and until her brother-Inaw
refuoed her she could not marry
again. Another authority maintains
that the throwing of the shoe vas
a sham assault on the groom, who
was supposed to he carrying off the
bride.
Lemon Syrup
Lemons so soon spoil in warm
.weather, and they are such a com
fort to have when one is thirsty, that
it is well to know, how to take care
of them. Get a dozen lemons and
carefully grate the yellow rind, but
do not allow any of the white to be
used, as this is the bitter part.
Squeeze out the juice of the lemon
and add the grated rind; let stand
several hours. Then take four
pounds of sugar with just enough
water to boil it smooth; stir in the
lemon' juice and bottle in small
bottles, corking well and dipp'ing the
corks in melted wax. This is excel
lent for lemonade, pies., sauces, etc.,'
and will keep a long time, and
bottles, corks and wax may all be
used time after time.'
For the Toilet
Shoulder movements will take the
superfluous fat off the1 back; lift
your right shoulder as high as you
can; twist it, then lower it. Next
move the shoulder in its socket in
circular fashion, then lift your right
shoulder, describe a circle with your
arms, lower your shoulder and let
your arms fall to your side. Repeat
this half a dozen times.
Vegetarians do not always have
fine complexions, and it is hot always
the meat that is at fault when the
'pkjn is cloudy and dingy, and the
stomach out of order. The one who
has inherited common sense, and
knows what foods agree best with,

' "fii 'my 40' years' experience as a
teacher and practitioner along hy
gienic ! lines," says "a Lo's: Angeles
physician,' "I have never found a
'food'td compare with Grape-Nuts for
he -benefit of 'the general health of
ail classes of people.
'- "I have recommended Grape-Nuts
for a number of years to patients
with the greatest success and every
year's experience makes me more
enthusiastic regarding its use.
"I make it a rule to always recom
mend Grape-Nuts, and Postum in
place of coffee, when giving my pa
tients instructions as to diet for I
know both Grape-Nuts and Postum
. can be digested by anyone.
v"As for myself, when engaged' in
much mental work my diet twice a
day consists of Grape-Nuts and rich
cream. I find It Just the thing to
build up gray matter and keep the
brain in good working order.
"In addition to its wonderful
effects as a brain and nerve food
Grape-Nuts always keeps the diges-
live organs in perfect, healthy tone.
I carry it with me when I travel,
otherwise I am almost certain to
have trouble with my stomach."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Strong endorsements like the
above from physicians all over the
country have stamped Grape-Nuts
the most scientific food in the world.
"There's a reason."
Look in pkgs. for. the famous little
book, "The Road to Wellville."
Ever read the above letter? , A
new one appears from time to time.
They are genuine, troe, and full of
human interest. . . ..
look upon." It is generally found
that she is one who abstains from
eating greasy foods cooked in too
much fat, eating too much, or too
little; eating starches and sugars to
excess, and indulging in other un
healthy habits.
Where soap does not agree with
the skin, put one of the tiny' bran
bags, so often told about in this
column, in the wash basin, or pour
a little almond 'meal on tho palms
before washing; the meal supplies a
free lather that is cleansing and
soothing. Tho bran has tho same
effect. The meal can he made at
home by the following formula:
Four ounces of sweet almonds re
duced to a fine powder; two ounces
each of powdered cuttlefish bone and
white castilo soap, also ground fine,
and an ounce of powdered orris root
with half a dram of oil of lavender.
Mix well, and use a little at a time.
This cleansing powder Is better than
soap.
Jellies
Currant Jelly Pick the currants
from the stems, and put them into a
vessel, then set the vessel into an
other vessel containing boiling
water, or a double boiler may be
used. Keep tho water boiling until
the berries are thoroughly scalded,
then slightly mash them and pour
into a jelly bag and let hang as long
as it will drip, turning tho bag now
and then to break up the mass of
fruit so the juice will drip through.
Do not squeeze.' Put a pint of sugar
to every pint of juice and set to boil
over the fire. Have glasses ready,
and five minutes' boiling will bo
sufficient. The pulp may be rubbed
through a sieve, sweetened, and
cooked a few minutes, stirring con
stantly until like butter, pu.lnto
small jars, and use. as marmalade.

- Household Helps
Linen taffeta is not only useful in
making cushion tops and draperies
for the country house, but it is use
ful to cover old boxes; glove, jewelry,
hairpin and handkerchief boxes are
made inexpensively and pretty. The
domestic taffeta is lighter and easier
to paste on the boxes than the more
expensive foreign goods.
Linen suits that were laid aside
last fall because badly faded can be
renewed and freshened by filling a
boiler half full of nice, clean hay,
pour over it sufficient boiling soft
water to cover, and boil an hour or
more two hours is none too long.
Then strain through a coarse cloth
into a jar or enameled pan large
enough to entirely submerge the
goods; wash them clean, and wring
as. dry as possible and put to soak
in the hay tea for twenty-fours
hours, weighting down to keep it
under water. It may be left longer,
if desired. Rinse well in clean cold
water and dry in the shade, and the
color will be a nice shade of green
linen.
An excellent fluid for cleaning
soiled woolens is easily made by
taking two ounces of ammonia, one
half ounce of ether, one-half ounce
of alcohol, one-half ounce glycerine,
one quart of water and one ounce
and half of castilo soip shaved fine;
let tho soap dissolvo in r. tittle df
tho water, then add to tho other in
gredients When sponging a whole
garment, add a little water to tho
fluid, and pour out only a little at a
time. Tho garment should ho thou
sponged well with clear wator.
In putting rugs away for the sum
mer, bo sure to roll them tight, as
they aro always kept in stores, "and
stand them on end to make sure
nothing will bo placed on top of
them. Wrap them well with tar
paper and-put in a dark, dry closet,
and make sure before putting away
that moth eggs aro not already in
tho nap.
Alcohol in Beverages
Any drinks that contain alcohol,
oven cider, root beer, or domestic
cordials, are not only not harmless,
but aro positively injurious, because
tho atom of alcohol, by using tho
strength of the next minute for tho
presont, leaves the system that
minute Just that much weaker than
it would havo been had not tho atom
of alcohol been taken, tho atom of
alcohol has not one particle of nutri
ment, and has only robbed tho sys
tem of tho atom of strength which It
borrowed. If anything Ib added to
tho summer drink, it should contain
somo nutriment, so as to strengthen,
tho body for its tasks.
A FEARFUL REVENGE
"Don't you think It Is dastardly
to send a man an infornal machine?"
asked Jones, while motoring with
Brown.
"Oh, I don't know," replied
Brown, as tho car gavo a dying
groan, half-way up tho hill. "If I
had an enemy, I'd send him this
one." Judge.
