blockade it effectually Beems impossible When a blockade of the bowels exists relieve it with Hostetters Stomach Bitters which also cures indiges tion malaria rheumatism and kidney trouble Trees and Tides A very curious theory lately revived Is that the sap of a living tree ebbs and flows in some -way in sympathy with the titles of the ocean The idea comes from Italy -where a grower of vines and other fruit trees whris also a chemist hat been experimenting in this direction He says that no tree should be lopped or pruned except during the hours of ebb tide He has taken four teen years to come to this conclusion and bow always acts upon it The re sult is his trees and vines have devel oped beautiful foliage bear splendid crops and are quite free from the at tacks of the insects which devastate surrounding properties AN OPEEAHON AVOIDED Mrs Rosa Gaum Writes to Mrs Pirtkham About it She Says Dear Mrs Pinkiiam I take pleas Tire in writing you a few lines to in form you of the good

some years ago says an old timer erected a three story dwelling by constructing the roof first and set high up on the corner posts He did this to have protection from the weath er as he worked downward This was looked on as a novel way to workv but in ante bellum days the third story of a budiiig in the northern part of Wash ington which had served as parlor dining-room and kitchen became the upper chambers of a comfortable dwell ing The owner had built on a hill of red gravel and after he had lived in bis little house a few months there came a demand for gravel by the street con tractors lie therefore disposed of the earth beneath his house and by careful ly shoriug up kept his little home intact and built up to it the proceeds from his bank of gravel being sufficient to pay for quite a handsome improvement It TYould Be War Here The vendetta is a terrible institu tion remarked the man who had been reading a novel I am very glad thai it could not possibly gain a foothold in this country Of course the American tempera ment could not tolerate such thing And moreover supposing a man named Smith were to have a difficulty with a man named Brown or Robinson just look in the city directory and see how many families would be involved It wouldnt be any vendetta It would be a war Shake Into Your Shoes Allens Foot Ease a powder for the feet It cures painful swollen smart ing

or night youll hear him shout Oh wheres my hatV There is a hat stand near the stair Youd think hed hang his hat up there Or on the rack behind the door But no it seems hed rather roar Where is my hat Each morning when the school bell rings Oh how he shakes up rugs and things And rummages in drawers and shelves And makes his sisters stir themselves To find his hat And when his comrades to the gate Come whistling loud and games await And sides are called and time is scant Hed like to go but oh he cant For wheres his hat My boy who smile the while you read Is this a lesson you should heed Can it be you who skip and fly And hunt and hustle as you cry Whos got my hat Madeline S Bridges Bread Raiser Get two boxes one big enough to hold your bread pan and a milk pan underneath it the other eight inches larger every way Take off the coyers and fasten the small box inside the large one Stuff the space between with sawdust and cover it Turn the boxes so the door will be on one side Make a door to fit tbe large box and pad it heavily with sawdust and put it on with hinges Put a shelf in to set the bread pan on high enough to slip a milk pan underneath On a cold night set your bread sponge in slip a covered pan of hot water underneath and your bread will be light in the morning When you knead your bread heat the water again On a warm night use warm water This does away with all wrapping up of the bread Mabel Baldwin Care of the Kitchen Some women can prepare a meal and keep the kitchen in order all the time The utensils may be dirty and need washing but they will have an orderly look about them and when the time comes to wash the dishes there will be no muss or confusion Other kitchens are a total wreck after a meal has been prepared Things are tumbled about and appear to have been thrown to gether by a young earthquake The great secret of good housekeeping is keeping things neat and in order Any chit of a girl can put things in order but it takes a grown woman with a great and level head to keep things in order and have work go on at the same time Swinjr for Children In giving hints to farmers and house wives we should not forget our little ones The following is a description of a very nice and safe swing for the children one that will please and cost but little Make two common rope swings on posts five feet apart then take a board 1 inch thick and 12 inch es wide put ends of plank through the rope swings and drive small staples on each side of board underneath and over the rope to fasten board in place With this arrangement you have a swing that can be enjoyed by six or more little ones at once and is not dan gerous like the single swing Mrs Ju lia F Hardison in Practical Farmer Strawberry Shortcake Into one quart of sifted flour rub one half of a

completely fill ing mans place in the business world they cant be depended upon because they are sick too often This is refuted by Mrs C W Mansfield a business woman of 08 Farrar street Detroit Mich who says A complication of female ailments kept me awake nights and wore me out I could get no relief from medicine and hope was slipping away from me A young lady in my employ gave me a box of Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People I took them and was able to rest at night for the first time in months I bought more and took them and they cured mc as they also cured several other people to my knowledge I think that if you should ask any of the druggists of Detroit who are the best buyers of Dr Williams Pink Pills they would say the young women These pills certainly build up the nervous system and many a young woman owes her life to them As a business woman I am pleased t o recom mend them as they did more for m e than any physi cian and I can give Dr Will iams Pink Pills for P ale
