HI f ft rite i j Admired Statesmans Stature A Gorman Journalist visiting In Washington himself a man of stal wart proportions was rather Inclined to look with something like contempt on the many

Oak Both Cured by Cutlcura Last year after having my little girl treated by a very prominent phy sician for an obstinate case of ec zema I resortedto tho Cuticura Remedies-and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afford ed that we discarded the physicians prescription and relied entirely on tho Cuticura Soap Cuticura Oint ment and Cuticura Pills When we f commenced with tho Cuticura Reme dies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores In about six weeks wo had her completely well and there has been no recurrence of the trouble In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak and in twenty four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores We used only the Cuticura Remedies washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap and anointing them with the Cuticura Ointment and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent In sbout three weeks his hands and aims healed up So we havelots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cu ticura Remedies We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby living as we do twelve miles from a doctor Mrs Liz zie Vincent Thomas Fairmont Wal dens Ridge Tenn Oct 13 1905 HEREDITY IS NOT ALL Physicians Now Believe Less in Trans mission of Disease Medical men are coming round to the view that it is the personal his tory that is of primary importance or in other words that a mans own man ner of life his record of health and his circumstances should be more carefully considered than the illnesses that his ancestors died of Dr Rabag liati a medical examiner for insurance companies who is well known in the profession which -he adorns and of high repute in the north of England has devoted much thought to this question of heredity from a life insur ance point of view In his opinion it Is not so much disease that is trans mitted from one generation to an other but organization or human ity as he expresses it Any member of the human family may suffer from any disease to which humanity is sub ject and when an individual so suffers It is the cause of the ailment that must be inquired into Exposure to this or that set of conditions brings varying results If the body is exposed to one set of conditions it will take on gout if to another consumption if to a third cancer and so on Company Withdraws from Canada Consul John E Hamilton of Corn wall Canada

prayed daily that I might find some thing to help me Several years ago while ata friends house fedrank a cup of Post urn and thought I had never tastec anything more delicious From that time on I used Postunl instead of coffee and soon began tc improve in health so that now I can waft half a dozen blocks or more with ease and do many other things that I never thought I would be able tc do again in

Offered the Housekeep er as to Design and Material Crown of Japan Is a New Vegetable In the dining room the table is the center of attraction The mission styles are the simplest In construc tion the Flemish or English oak are elaborately carved The round table Is the popular one of to day and the choice of wood depends upon how much one can pay Mahogany is hand some but It scratches easily and is therefore not so durable as oak A serving table is quite necessary and may match the dining table Many people likp a bright red dining-room but a colonial yellow paper with white woodwork and Gobelin blue hangings is charming There are also many soft tapestry effects The color however should depend largely on whether the room is light or dark The housekeeper who is looking for something new in the vegetable line might try a Japanese vegetable known as crown of Japan It is cooked the same as asparagus or cauliflower about 30 minutes or until tender Serve with the usual cream sauce made of flour butter and milk and seasoned to the taste This vegetable can be found at the best grocers and is 30 cents a pound Great care should be taken in keep ing the kitchen sink clean whether new or old It should have a thor ough scrubbing down with boiling wa ter after every dishwashing An oc casional flushing with a solution of soda or copperas will keep even the oldest one clean and free the pipes and trap from grease All wood should be removed from the sink Modern plumbers use iron instead of lead pipe almost entirely Hamburger steak is appetizing when served with peppers Flatten the meat out into a large oval shape about an inch and a half thick and broil As an accompaniment to this quarter green peppers remove seeds and veins and fry quickly in a little butter Serve this around the steak A round table is always effective If the color scheme is to be pink have one of the new pierced silver baskets with tall handle filled with pink rosea This may be encircled with a wreath of roses carelessly arranged The table should not be overcrowded with flow ers and blossoms of heavy fragrance are to be avoided Two candelabra with pink candles and rose leaved silk shades may be placed opposite each other When high decorations are preferred a tall glass vase is used Some consider that cut glass is too heavy for flowers How to Make Toffee Toffee is an almost unknown sweet over here but the small English chil dren thrive on it and usually know how to make it Its a quite different thing from oui butterscotch which is jolly good but not as jolly good as toffee Heres a recipe for it Take three pounds of coffee or C sugar butter to the amount of a pound and a quarter- with half a tea spoonful of cream of tartar First dis solve the sugar in just as much cold water as may be required for that pur pose then mix all the ingredients to gether and -boil them without stirring the mixture until it will snap when dropped into cold water At this mo ment remove it from the fire add eight or ten drops of lemon extract according to its strength and pour the mixture into well greased pans to be cut into squares as it cools Hints on Serving Potatoes Nothing adds more to a meal than a pretty or unusual way of serving the ever useful potato A plain potato salad which is always much better in texture and flavor when the potatoes are baked instead of boiled seems far more elaborate when served in the po tato shells and these are really pret ty when properly prepared For any sort of stuffing the potatoes should be of uniform size and large rather than small since the larger ones are easier to handle the novice had best practice on a few first until the fingers become deft in handling for the first few are apt to be spoiled in removing the in terior or in refilling the shells Banana Compote Make a syrup ofour tablespoon fuls of water -and four tablespoonfuls of sugar add the rind of one half lem on two cloves one inch of stick cinna mon cook ten minutes then drop into the syrup six bananas cut into fourths It is best to cook just enough pieces of banana at a time to cover the bot tom of the sauce pan When thi fruit becomes transparent and soft take it up carefully put into a pretty dish and pour over the syrup Cool and serve with whipped cream slightly sweetened and flavored with lemon Vermicelli Pudding Boil one cupful broken Italian ver micelli in well salted water to cover for ten minutes then add to a pint and a half boiling milk Simmer 20 minutes in a double boiler then take from the fire and pour over four well beaten eggs stirred together with one cup sugar and a large tablespoonful butter Flavor with a teaspoonful va nilla turn into a well buttered pudding dish and bake in a rather slow but steady oven for half an hour Serve with

-things as coolly as Dave Potters wife takes them but others more discriminat ing prefer a good honest row to her style of quiet cynicism The way she behaved the other day when she found a letter in Daves pocket from a girl is an example of her method I dont see wrote this girl how on earth I can ever live without you Daves wife read that gush and a lot more just like It without ever turn ing a

Their Sale have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way The Value and Importance 01 Ethical Remedies Remedies which physicians sanction for family use as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect and called ethical because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and o Known Component Parts To gain the full confidence of the Well informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them and therefore the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof The per fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Companys original method of manufacture known to the Company only There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives and as its pure laxative principles obtained from Senna are well known to physicians and the Well informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always note when purchasing the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co plainly printed on the front of every package whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millions The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company filed with the Secretary of Agriculture at Washington D C the remedy is
