“Be Pleasant Every Morning- Until
Ten O'clock; the Rest of the Day
Will Take Care of Itself.”
This is one of the best little ser
mons we know. Havo you ever
stopped to think that the morning
is the time when your temper is usu
ally ruffled, and have you ever
stopped to think that the cause of
had temper in the morninj is nearly
always because your stomach has not
been working properly during the
night? It has contained a lot of indi
gestible substances that form gas
and makes you have dreams. It
breaks up your rest and you wake up
In the morning tired, instead of re
freshed, as nature intended you
should.
Our grand sires required no ad
monition to “Be pleasant every morn
ing until 10 o’clock; the rest of the
day will take care of itself.” for they
digested their food and woke up full
of life and energy ready for the day’s
duties, and this was because they
lived on simple foods instead of high
ly seasoned palatable concoctions,
which contain no nourishment. Na
ture gave us milk, wheat and eggs,
and on these foods a person can
live Indefinitely, but if the milk is
skimmed, and if the outside of the
wheat is taken off the kernel, and if
the lime, the salt, and the iron, which
is in the outer part of the wheat
berry, if these are all removed, you
have simply starch alone; the starch
goes into the stomach and becomes
sugar.
Do you know that a person would
starve to death on plain white bread
and water? Do you know that he
could live indefinitely on whole wheat
bread or on whole wheat food ana
water? These interesting facts are
all set forth in a book called “Back
to Nature,” which tolls about proper
living and gives recipes for meals of
the simple kind—the kind that makes
you strong and well; the kind that
makes you “Pleasant every morning
until 10 o’clock.” This book is pub
lished at a great expense, but it is
given free to every reader of this
paper. It is an advertisement of
“EGG-O-SEE,’’ the great food—which
is made from whole wheat, which is
baked and predigested and is all
ready to serve from the package you
buy at your grocers. You get more
a life and energy from a 10-cent pack
■ age of EGG-O-SEE than you w-ill get
from a thousand dollars’ worth of
white bread. This is no idle claim.
It is a scientific fact. We want to
tell about this simple food question,
so write us and say “Please send me
a copy of your book ‘Back to Na
ture,’ ” and the book will be sent you

REASON OF HIS CRUDGE.
And It Was Good and Sufficient. Ac

struction.
“Sir,” we said to the stranger whom
we were endeavoring to enlist in our
society for the preservation of Niagara
falls, “now that we have outlined the
motives and principles of our organi
zation will you not put your name in
the roll?”
“Not by a long shot,” he growled,
relates Judge.
“But, sir,” we argued, surprised at
such a callousness toward the beauties
of nature, “surely you, like all other
patriotic citizens, wish to see this ma
jestic spectacle of grandeur preserved
from the ruthless hands of commer
cialism.”
“Don’t care a hoot about it.” he
muttered, turning, as though to leave
UB.
We clutched at his coat lapel and
begged him to wait a moment.
“Do you mean to say," we continued,
jf'that you do not care if this mighty
cataract were changed from a marvel
ous, inspiring, awe-compelling sight to
a measly, factory-dotted cliff?”
“As I told you,” he answered, shak

Then we noticed a large bump where
his bald spot is growing toward his

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for a Time.
It’s easy to understand how ordi
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex
perience:
“I had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe it wa
injuring me although I had palpita
tion of the heart every day.
“Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and 1 gave up both
tea and coffee, using Dostum instead
and since that time I have had ab
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when I tried
a small quantity of coffee which
caused severe irritation and proved
to me I must let it alone.
“When we began using Dostum it
seemed weak—that was because we
did not make it according to direc
tions—but now we put a little bit of
butter in the pot when boiling and
allow the Postum to boil full 15 min
utes which gives it the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
“I have advised a great many of
my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact I
daily give this advice.” Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place o* tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients. “There’s a reason.”

THE BACK-YARD PROBLEM
First the Soil Must Receive Atten
tion, Then Cover Unsightly Fence
with Lovely Vines.
The first gardening problem to
tackle in an ordinary back yard is
the soil, and it is generally tne last
to receive honest attention and a
“square deal." It is probably full of
brickbats and other builder's rubbish
and almost devoid of available plant
food.
The first year or two a part of the
garden allowance snould surely be put
into compost, which should be thor
oughly mixed with the soil when it
is spaded. Don't give up the most
stubborn, sour-looking soil. If it will
grow a pig weed the chances are that
it will grow something more desir
able. The finer the soil is made the
better. Wood ashes, lime and manure
will all help the soil in texture as well
as in the line of plant food.
Next, the fence and ugly outbuild
ings must be hidden. Vines will do
this. The rear elevation of the house
deserves the same careful treatment.
Or the permanent vines Boston ivy is
best for stone and brick. Virginia
creeper for wood. Wistaria is excel
lent for great cities, but seldom, if
ever, blooms there. Its foliage Is
worth the cost. It needs iron rods for
support.
Annual vines of many sorts will
cover the fences the first year or so
and pay their way in cut flowers.
Nasturtiums, scarlet runners, wild cu
cumbers. morning glories, are all good
and cost little. There are more seeds
in some packets than you can use.
Divide with your neighbors. Hall’s
honeysuckle can be grown from seed
if necessary for economy’s sake, but
nurserv-grown plants give quicker re
sults. They eventually climb high on
verandas and will make beautiful
hedges if they have a framework of
woven wire fencing. Their white and
straw colored blossoms make fragrant
and graceful table decorations.

EGG-PLANT RECIPES.
There Is No More Tender Vegetable
Nor More Toothsome When
Properly Prepared.
EGGPLANT WITH ONIONS.—Cut
nn eggplant into thin slices length
wise; dust over with salt, and let re
main until the bitter liquor is drawn
out. Then place in a frying-pan with
olive oil and butter, whichever pre
ferred, and brown over a brisk fire.
Take them out of the pan and lay
them at the bottom of the baking dish.
Peel four medium-sized onions, cut
them in slices and put them in the
l'rying-pan; add more butter if re
quired, and fry until browned. Lay
the onions over the eggplant, season
with salt and three teaspoonsful of
sugar, pour in one teacupful of water
and half that quantity of vinegar, and
set the pan over a slow fire. When the
moisture is nearly all absorbed, ar
range the eggplant and onions on a
hot dish and serve.
BROILED EGGPLANT—Peel the
plant and cut into half-inch slices, roll
in flour, put into a pan which has al
ready been supplied with melted but
ter or sweet oil if preferred. Let broil,
turning as needed, for five minutes.
Take off and serve with a gill of
maitre d'hotel sauce.
EGGPLANT FRITTERS.—Boil in
salted water flavored with a little
lemon juice; when tender, skin, drain
and mash into a pulp. To every pint
of pulp use a half breakfast cup of
flour, beat up and add two well-beaten
eggs; season with salt and pepper to
taste. Shape into any form chosen,
and drop in bcjiling fat, and fry both
sides until brown.
BOILED EGGPLANTS. — Remove
the skin, cut into moderate-sized
pieces, put into a saucepan of boiling
water, pinch of salt, little parsley and
an onion. Boil until tender. Prepare

butter into a small stewpan with one
third of a tablespoonful of flour and
mix it over the fire, then stir in a
small bottle of catsup and keep on
stirring until it boils, season with salt
and pepper. When cooked drain the
Water off and serve with the sauce.
FRIED WITH CHEESE.—Peel the
plant, cut into quarters lengthwise,
scoop out the seeds and cut into con
venient lengths. Rub garlic over the
stewpan and put in a large lump of
butter, melt it, then lay in the strips
of eggplant, season with salt and pep
per, and small quantity of nutmeg,
grated Parmesan cheese and more but
ter if necessary. When quite tender
turn the eggplant into a hot dish and
garnish with buttered toast.—N. Y.

Wicker Furniture.
Unvarnished wicker furniture that
has grown unsightly can be made to
look very nice by enameling, prefer
ably white. Another way is to dye
them some color, red being partic
ularly effective. Wet the wicker work
with clear, hot water before dyeing,
so it will color evenly.
Under the Matting.
When laying matting, place several
thicknesses of newspaper under it, to
catch the dust which sieves through.
After a thorough sweeping, freshen
matting by going over it with a
cloth dampened with ammonia water.
When Cleaning Carpet.
To dean your carpet, lay it face
down on grass and whip with rattan
switches. Then sweep thoroughly on
both sides, and lastly go over the
right side with a cloth wrung out of
ammonia water.

“I wish to inform you that Cuticura
Remedies have put a .‘top to twelve
years ol misery 1 passed with my son. As
an infant 1 noticed on his body a red
spot, and treated same with different
remedies for about live years, but when
the spot began to get larger i put him
under tlie care of doctors. Under their
treatment the disease spread to four dif
ferent parts of his body. The longer the
doctors treated hint the worse it grew.
During the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would be
cracked, inflamed, and badly swollen, with
terrible burning and itching. When I
think of his suffering, it nearly breaks
my heart. llis screams could be heard
down stairs. The suffering of my son
made me full of misery. 1 had no ambi
tion to work, to cat, nor could 1 sleep.
One doctor told me that my son’s eczema
was incurable, and gave it up for a bad
job. One evening 1 saw an article in
the paper about the wonderful Cuticura
and decided to give it a trial. 1 tell you
that Cuticura Ointment is worth its
weight in gold, and when 1 had used the
first box of Ointment there was a great
improvement, and by the time I had used
the second set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment,

“HE RAN FOR LAWYER.”
But There Was a Doubt as to Whether
He Had Ever Caught
the Office.
A man from Pennsylvania went to
Vineland on u business errand. The
town was strange to him, and he was
unacquainted with the man (a lawyer)
he had gone to see. The directions he
received were so indefinite that he
found himself on the elge of the town
without having come to the house he
sought. Then he met an old negro
and asked the way of him and learned
that the house lay about a quarter of
a mile farther down the road.
“The man 1 want to see is a law
yer,” he said to the old man. “Is this
Mr. Dash down the road a lawyer?”
“He ain't no lawyer that I ever
heard tell of,” answered the negro.
“You’re sure?”
The old negro scratched his head in
deep thought. Then a gleam of re
membrance lighted his eye.
“Now 1 think of it, boss,” he said,
“ 'peat s like 1 do recollect he ran for
lawyer one time.”

PURPOSE OF THE COURT.
As Understood by a Lawyer Who
Knew How to Circum
vent It.
Hon. A. O. Jewitt, lawyer,, politician
and man of sarcastic wit, was once
trying a case in the supreme court in
elfast, Me., his home city. The judge
presiding, before being called to the
bench, had tried many cases against
Jewett, who did not entertain a very
high opinion of his ability, relates the
Boston Herald.
In his closing argument Jewett, in
defiance of the rules of the court,
started in to read some law to the jury.
The court pounded on the bench and
said: "Mr. Jewett, you must’not read
law to the jury in your closing argu
ment.” Jewett kept on reading with
out so much as a glance at the court.
The court, in thunderous tones, order
ed him to stop.
Jewett, who had by this time read
all he intended to read, turned calmly
to the judge and said: “Did your
honor .address me?”
“I said,” roared the judge, “you
must not read law to the jury in your
closing argument. I will give the law
to the jury. What do you suppose
the court is here for?”
“What is the court here for?” re
sponded Jewett, in high falsetto, “I
suppose you know, sir, to keep order,
with the aid of the sheriff, sir, with all
due respect to the sheriff, sir.”

INTERESTING LETTER
; WRITTEN BYA NOTABLE WOMAN
Mrs. Sarah Kellogg of Denver, Color
Bearer of the Woman's Relief Corps,
Sends Thanks to Mrs. Pinkham.
i
The following
letter was written
by Mrs. Kellogg,
of 1628 Lincoln
Ave., De nver,
Col.,to Mrs. Pink
ham.Lynn .Mass.:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
“ For five years I
was troubled with a
tumor, which kept
grow ing,causing me
intense agony and
great mental depression. 1 was unable to at
tend to my bouse work, and life becameabur
den to me. 1 was confined for days to my bed,
lost my appetite, my courage and all hope.
“ I could not bear to think of an operation,
and in my distress I tried every remedy which
I thought would be of any use to me, and
reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound to sick women decided
to give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I
had little hope of recovery', and when I began
to feel hetter, after the seeond week, thought
it only meant temporary relief; but to my
great surprise I found that I kept gaining,
while the tumor lessened in size.
“ The Compound continued to build up my
general health and the tumor seemed to be
absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor
was entirely gone and I a well woman. I am
so thankful for my recovery that I ask you
to publish my letter in newspapers, so other
women may know of the wonderful curative
powers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.”
When women are troubled with irreg
ular or painful periods, weakness, dis
placement or ulceration of the female
organs, that bearing-down feeling, in
flammation, backache, flatulence, gen
eral debility, indigestion or nervous
prostration, they should remember
there is one tried and true remedy.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound at once removes such troubles.
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali
fied endorsement. No other medicine
has such a record of cures of female
ills.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease has been
advising sick women free of charge.
She has guided thousands to health.
Address, Lynn, Mass.
Remember that it is Lydia E. Pink*

ing women, and don't allow any druggist
to sell you anything else in its place.
