low as possible to help along the!
feeling that the shortage would be '
acute. Either that, or the experts!

Mackerel for Nerves.
Mackerel is an even better food for

cent; protein, 18.3 per cent; fut, 7.1
per cent; ash, 1.32 per cent.
Whooping
“The disease I most dread is Whoop
ing Cough, for children are often perma
nently injured by the awful straining of
the cough. You should never neglect
it, and treatment should be started at the first symptom. You
cannot mistake the symptoms: protracted coughing, worse at
night; peculiar whoop; labored expectoration of mucus; ap
parent suffocation after coughing.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is a positive remedy for this disease—repeat the dose frequently,
for if given freely it liquifies the tough mucus, makes it easy to
expectorate and counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia.
There is no danger whatever from Whooping Cough when
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is freely given."

THE TEA HOUSE
* By FANNY GRAY.
bMyywwyMwwwwyMysMwwwwMA
Lucy Cutler wus helping her mother
finish the Saturday cleaning and bak
ing, and was rebelling in her soul. Not
that she so particularly disliked the
work Itself, but the thought that she
had to do that kind of thing day after
day, with not even a maid servant’s
wage, stirred her to anger. Her fa
ther, a prosperous farmer, could well
afford to pay for It, as she knew, yet
he seemed to think It was the natural
and proper thing for herself and her
younger sister, Florence, to scrub
along, week after week, satisfied with
an occasional small sum with which to
j buy necessities.
When Lucy finished her work, she
; started to walk rather aimlessly down
the road to rest and cool off. Her fa
ther had Just acquired, through a fore
! closure, a piece of property of about
two acres adjoining his land, on which
I was a picturesque little cottage. As
she reached a place In the road oppo
site the new property, she stopped to
admire the tiny house and the old-fash
ioned flowers bordering the wulk, as
well as the climbing roses over the
j porch.
Just then Fred Emerson came along,
I and the two stood there together.
Fred was a hustling young chap, with
quite a bank account already. He had
for some time been casting longing
glances In Lucy's direction, but, being
somewhat bashful, he had not pro
gressed very far in his wooing.
Now, as they viewed together the
snug bit of land and the house, with
the “For Sale" sign against the stone
wall, a thought of himself and Lucy
In such a home rushed Into his mind,
and he wanted to give expression to
It; but ull he found himself saying was
that It made him think of the little
tea house some women had opened the
summer before In Riverside.
An idea Hashed through Lucy’s mind.
As soon as Fred went on, she rushed
back to the furmhouse and found her
mother.
“Mother, what’s father going to do
with the Clapp house?”
“Why, nothin’ this year that I know
of. Of course, he wants to sell It."
“Would he let me use the cottage,
do you think, mother?”
“Use the cottage! For the land's
sake, child, what for?"
“Well, I’ve got an Idea. You re
member when I visited Aunt Carrie
last summer In Riverside? Some wom
en set up tea house not half so pretty
as the Clapp place and sold tea and
things to motorists over there, and
Aunt Carrie said they made a lot of
money. I could make more here be
cause It’s on the state road."
It took considerable persuasion to
make Farmer Cutler give his consent.
But, with mother on Lucy's side and
Florence all eugerness, he finally gave
In reluctantly.
The girls worked with a will all the
next week. They cleaned out the lit
tle cottage themselves. It was In pret- i
ty good order already and was fur- (
nlshed. There were three rooms on
the ground floor. They turned the
parlor, which was the largest. Into
the tea room proper, and made a sort
of serving room of the dining room.
The small piazza, they decided, would
hold three tables. Mother louned her
best white and gold eggshell china,
which seldom saw the light of day, and
agreed to supply the first biscuit.
Two or three days before they were
ready, Lucy put a sign out on the
lawn near the street, announcing the
opening of the tea house.
The first afternoon she told herself
they really must not expect anyone;
but her heart beat high with expec
tation Just the same, as she and Flor
ence, In white muslin dresses and
dainty aprons, waited In the cottage.
A man and woman driving through
the country In a buggy were their first
guests. A motorcyclist and one lurge
uutomoblle party made up the list for
the day, and they thought It very en
couraging, even If father did sniff a
bit when told. Fred Emerson dropped
In around six o’clock. Just to cheer
them up, he said. But It was notice
able that the cheering process lasted
all through the prosperous season)
which followed.
The tea house was a great success,
,®U Hm whole, and when the time came
to close It anil Lucy counted up the
exact profit, she was highly elated,
and began at once to plan for the next
year.
Her surprise was very great when
her father told her that the cottage
was no longer his to dispose of. It had
been sold, and she roust apply to the
new owner for a lease, that owner
being Fred Emerson.
1 or some reason, which she didn't
<|ulte corn pretier,<1 herself, Lucy felt
shy about going to him. Hut one day
, when she v as alone at the cottage,
putting away tie- last things for that
ae:;»on, Fred appeared. Lucy began
at i/ai-r.
1> nHier told me you had bought the
'■ •< e 1 ri-d I want to know If I can
, have It ag:,in next year, and what the
I rent will he,"
It Un't necessary for us to know lit
ju.-i ..oat words 1 red toiu her thut the
bouse waa hers on on* condition, and
ibst he bad h*-e(, determined to own
It and Install her ss mistress ever
sloe* tb* Br»t day tot watched her
moving shout In it, looking so sweet
ami dainty, orvlng feu to her guests.
She must have accepter] the condition,
for the next summer **w the little cot
tage transformed Into a comfortable,
livable home, and there were biscuit*
and tea. but I be order was for two.

Pate de Foie Gras.
“Pate de foie gras” Is it French dish
made of goose liver und served by
Irish waiters. "Ziiu” writes In Far
toons Magazine. You will find It men
tioned on the menu of almost every
fashionable hotel and restaurant. If
It Is ever your good luck to eut In
u place where they have patty-de-what
you-mny-enll-lt on the bill of fare,
don't display your bad bringing up by
culling for it. It will save the waiter
! the humiliation of explaining how it
happened that they ure just out of it
I and how a cargo on Its way was over
i taken and sunk by a German subma
| rlne. Pate de foie gras is a standard
; filler which is kept in type form to
i give the place a swell air. Don’t ever
! attempt to pronounce the dish aloud
I in public, because it isn't what it
spells. Let the Irish waiter pronounce
it for you, then you'll make no mis
take. In ordering, point to It with
your finger, preferably the one with
the big diamond ring on it, and don’t
forget that u generous tip should fol
low at tile conclusion of the service,
for the dignity of pate de foie gras
should be sustained at all hazards I
Daily Thought.
There is a best way to do every
thing, even if it be but to boil an egg.
