It is early to rise and late to bed, with
fourteen to eighteen hours hard
work between. The important thing
for the sisters to do is to get through
this time just as easily as possible and
without adding to their heavy burdens
by unnecessary worry. One can do an
immense amount of physical labor with
out harm if the mind is free and clear
but when mental worry is added to
physioal labor we have a combination
which has proved the death of many a

work in the very best way possible, but
don't fret yourself into nervous prostra

actly as you would like to have it.

ALBION.
From the News.
A. C. Stowell, who was a resident of
Boon County some twenty-five years
ago, is here this week looking after the
business interests of the late J. D.
Brewer. Mr. Stowell was the owner of
a large ranch near Cedar Rapids, and
was one of the enterprising citizens of
the county. He was president of the
fair association and did much to pro
mote the interests of that institution.
The oat crop is bound to be a light one
owing to the rust which has been es
pecially bad this year. The majority of
the farmers have had to harvest their
oats before they were ripe. Winter
wheat is turning out from 15 to 25 bu
shels to the acre. Prospects for a bum
per corn crop in this county could not
be better. With plenty of moisture anil
warm weather it is making rapid head
way and the stand is excellent.
O. M. Ootterman arrived here Mon

he is fully competent to fill any from

HINTS FOR THE HOME COOK.
a .
Beware of Undertaking Menu Beyond
the Capacity.
Those who know what tastes good
and understand combinations of food
that are appetizing often write de
lightful menus, and close off with the
statement that this simple dinner, or
luncheon,, as it may be, is easily pre
pared. The experienced will see, how
ever, that the work demanded is far
beyond the strength of most mistress
es or the skill of the average maid.
The impossibility of serving the
courses where one person must be
both waitress and cook is also evident
to the initiated. In fact, the available
means of serving, a menu must be
taken into account, as well as the
palate and pocketbook. Othewise
things that should be hot will be cold
and cold dishes will be unappetlzlngly
lukewarm.
When invited guests are expected It
would be better not to serve over
three courses and have each as near
perfection as skill and care can make
them. When a woman must be her
own cook and waitress and act as
hostess as well, she should avoid fried
foods and anything that must not be
delayed a moment in serving. The
young mistress receiving her guests
in a light silk and stepping back into
the kitchen to fry croquettes for their
dinner is a pleasing fiction in the
chapter on dinner giving made easy,
but a dinner of roast beef and vege
tables or something else that can be
kept hot a few minutes without injury
is much more practical.
If a kitchen is as neat and clean as
a tidy housekeeper is apt to have her
own workroom, a pretty white wash
waist and skirt are the best to wear
when finishing cooking the company
dinner. The advice bear reiteration
which warns against undertaking any
thing in the menu for guests that is
unfamiliar. Try It on the family at
least once and see if it be within your
ability as a cook.
NOODLES FOR THE SOUP.
Time Used for Their Preparation Is
Spent to Advantage.
The good old-fashioned chicken
noodle soup is hard to beat, if the
noodles are home-made. The trouble is
too many modern cooks will not take
the time for the necessary rolling,
without which the paste is worthless.
To make them, mix two wcll-baaten
eggs, with enough flour to make a stiff
dough and knead until smooth. If a
very white paste is liked, only the
whites of the eggs are used.
Divide the mixture into equal parts
and roll each into a round ball, which
Is then put on a well-floured board for
rolling. A glass roller by its smooth
ness of surface is excellent for this
part of the process, as the noddles
must be rolled until the cakes are al
most transparent.
The cutting is likewise important,
the old-fashioned method of having
noodles too long for graceful eating is
not to be commended.
Before cutting, dry off each sheet of
the neste with a' napkin; then divide it
into halves and quarters and pile
them one on top of the other so the
edges are even. Cut into narrow
strips with sharp knife. The more
threadlike the noodles are the better.
Set them away to -dry and they are
ready for soup.
For fancy shapes the paste may be
out with sharp tin ratten.

ADVERTISING
A SERIES OF TEN TALKS ON
hy Seyaear sates
, A story is told of a prisoner who called the judge
a foot The judge fined him $10. He paid the fine
but asked: "Do you fine people for thinking, your
Honor?" The judge answered in the negative.
Well," he said, "I think
If I should print my personal opinion of some big
advertisers like as not I'd get fined ; but it is perfectly
safe to think.
If a traveler came to you and talked of the stuff
which his house prints as advertising you would put
him down at once as an idiot.
The talk is 'unnatural; sounding brass and a
tinkling cymbal; unreal, insincere, dead. The reader
feels that it isn't the advertiser who is talking ;' that
there really isn't anybody talking ; that the words are
just printing.
Good advertising is good talk; the frank, honest
kind that convinces.
An advertisement of one hundred words should
make the reader think five thousand words; and
herein is the whole secret of good copy. It isn't what
you say that counts but the chain of thought which
your advertising creates.
The more you fuss over your advertising copy the
poorer the result. It isn't a job to stutter about or to
apologize for or to burn midnight oil over. If you
want to make an advertising hit all you need to do
is to talk to the reader of the newspaper as you talk
across the counter to a customer.
Two Irishmen chased a wild-cat up a tree. Pat
went up to shake him off while Mike remained below
to catch him when he fell. Both were successful, but
Mike and the wild-cat were soon in a rough and
tumble scrap below. Pat called out "Shall Oi come
douwn an' help you howld him, Mike?" "Naw!
Begorra, come douwn, Pat, an' help me let him go."
Advertising is a wild-cat up a tree. Once you
have shaken him off, the problem of "letting go" is
quite as difficult as the problem of "howlding on."
But what you need in either case is nerve; and a
reasonable assurance regarding the future.
It rarely pays to splurge. Make your appropria
tion deliberately and carefully. Prepare good copy.
Advertise continuously; every day or at least every
week. Your store is the seed or the plant. The
advertising is the rain and the sunshine. You can't
rush the growth. It may take weeks or months to
produce flowers or fruit.
