That our American forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
-t>y scores of the most eminent medical
writers and touchers. Even the untu
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants l>eforo the
ailvont of the white race. This informa
tion, imparted freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.
O
Dr. Pierce believes that our American for
ests atibuid In most valuable medicinal root*

affections. Is clearly shown In a little book

Both the above mentioned medicines are
wholly made up from the glyceric ext facts of
native, medicinal roots. Tint processes em
ployed in their manufacture were original
with Dr. Pierce, and they are carried on by
skilled chemists and pharmacists with the
aid of apparatus and appliances specially
designed and built for this purpose. Both
medicines are entirely free from alcohol and
all other harmful, habit-forming drugs. A
full list of their ingredients is printed on

Score One for the Motorist.
We hold no brief for the motorist,
but “honor where honor is due.” On a
country road the other day we saw a
motorist deliberately avoid running
over an animal on the highway! To
be exact., it was a circus elephant.—

The maximum amount of alcohol,

that contained in two ounces of

DIET FOR INVALID
DISHES THAT ARE BOTH NOUR
ISHING AND TEMPTING.
Hot Weather Is Period Most Trying
Both for Invalid and Nurse—
Cold Broth Sometimes Bet
ter Than Hot.
The chronic invalid or convalescent
is particularly an object of pity in mid
summer. The appetite is less cap
tious in cold weather than in hot, and
unfortunately for the housewife is less
inclined to put forth special effort at
the very time when the invalid is most
exacting. As the convalescence or
comfort of the ailing member of the
household depends so much upon the
diet, the effort to supply food at once
nourishing and appetizing must be
sustained. Daintiness is extremely im
portant in serving food for an invalid.
Thin, undecorated china and glass
ware, a liberal use of the inexpensive
paper doyleys, and garnishings of
fresh parsley, cress and slivers of
lemon will help along the good work
of tickling the jaded appetite.
Bread, the staff of life, is always a
problem in serving the invalid. When
toast palls, try pulled bread for a
change. This can be made in connec
tion with your regular baking day,
kept in a dry place and heated as
needed.
Pulled Bread.—Bake ordinary yeast
bread in the shape of long, narrow
French loaves. When cool, but not
entirely cold, cut lengthwise through
the center, then with two forks scoop
or pull the bread out of the crust and,
■till using the two forks, pull it apart
in strips six or seven inches long and
an inch, or an inch and a half in width
and thickness. Line a large baking
pan with brown paper and arrange
the strips of bread on this, rough and
crinkled edges uppermost. Set in the
oven with the door partly open until
it dries out thoroughly, then close the
door until the bread turns a golden
brown. Warm each time before serv
ing. This is much like Zweibeck, but
its odd shape appeals to the invalid.
If broths must be served as nour
ishment, try them ice cold instead of
hot. The nutritive qualities are there
just the same and, if properly sea
soned, iced broths are just as good for
the patient as the hot ones, and in
finitely tnore tasty. Herewith are
recipes for chicken and clam broth.
Serve either in a dainty cup, topped
off by a spoonful of whipped cream:
Clam Broth.—Buy a dozen small
clams in the shell, arrange them in a
pan or tray and pour boiling water
over them. As fast as they open turn
61am and liquor into an enameled stew
pan. Add as much water as you have
clam liquor. Stew gently for 10 min
utes and skim off the scum that rises.
Season with a little butter and pep
per. Use salt according to taste, but
sparingly, as the clam liquor is apt to
give a salty taste to the dish. Strain
through a very fine sieve and set away
to chill.
Chicken Broth.—Cut the fowl into
quarters. Lay in salted water one hour.
Remove and place in three quarts of
water, bringing it very slowly to a
boil. Boil gently until liquor lias di
minished one-third. Remove chicken.
Season the liquor, bring to a boil and
strain. Stir a cupful of hot milk slow
ly into two beaten eggs, then add the
mixture to the broth, stirring slowly.
Half of this quantity is sufficient to
serve an invalid two or three times a
day.
USE FOR OLD SHIRTWAISTS.
Discarded Garments May Be Utilized
in Many Ways.
Discarded white shirtwaists are not
the useless articles they first appear.
One with a pretty front may be cut out
in neck and arms for a corset cover.
A child's guimpe or a lady’s chemi
sette may also be cut from the por
tions of handsome waists, while turn
over collars are easily obtained from |
embroidered fronts. The edges are !
bound around with bias folds or nar-!
row braid. A plain shirtwaist forms a J
good foundation for a chemisette of
sheer material, as it aids in holding
that decidedly inclined to wander ar
ticle in place. The sleeves and neck
are cut out, the armholes bound, and
the chemisette stitched into position.
If desired, the tail portion may be cut
away just above the waist line, doing
away with extra bulk at that point. A
narrow hem will do as a finish.
Buttered Rice.
A nice “made-over" entree for lunch
is made by boiling rice, draining well,
and placing while warm in a bowl or
mold. The next day turn it out care
fully upon a pie plate and set in a
quick oven. When hot all through
draw to you in the oven and butter
plentifully. After this let in the oven
until it browns lightly. Then butter
again, sift over it a thick coating of
cheese—preferably Parmesan — and
leave in the oven until the cheese is
melted. Then heap irregularly with
a meringue of whites of two eggs,
beaten up with a pinch of celery salt.
Brown very lightly, slip a spatula un
der the mold, and transfer to a hot
platter.
Cheese Pudding.
One cupful each of grated or
chopped cheese, breadcrumbs and
milk, one beaten egg, one teaspoonful
of butter, one-half teaspoonful each 01
salt and mixed mustard, one saltspoon
ful of pepper. Put cheese and bread
crumbs in alternate layers in a but
tered pudding dish, mix egg, milk and
seasoning, and pour over and bake un
til firm, or about 15 minutes. Serve
hot.
Deacily Common Plants.
The things that give the most pleas
ure in life frequently can also cause
the greatest pain. Among flowers, for
instance, the beautiful snowdrop, the
hyacinth, jonquil and narcissus are
all poisonous, and to eat the smallest
part of the root of either of them
would produce fatal results, while the
juices of the leaves will cause violent
vomiting.
The berries of the yew tree have
killed many people, and the opium
obtained from poppies has also
claimed its victims. Lady’s slipper
and lily of the valley are both danger
ous, and if the blossoms of crocus are
chewed they will cause vomiting.
Flowers from bulbous roots, however,
seem to be the most dangerous, and it
might not be out of place to dealer*
in these to label them with a crosa
bones and mark them poison.
His Dear Old Mother
“My dear old mother, who is now
eighty-three years old, thrives on Elec
tric Bitters,” writes W. B. Brunson,
of Dublin, Ga. She has taken them
for about two years and enjoys an ex
cellent appetite, feels strong and sleeps
well.” That's the way Electric Bitters
.affect the aged, and the same happy
results follow in all cases of female
weakness and general debility. Weak,
puny children too, are greatly strengh
ened by them. Guaranteed also for
stomach, liver and kidney troubles,
